"I'll go tell the master that you're here," Brother Kun turned around and ran inside.

Zhang Suniang waited for Yang Cheng to come in with Xiao Yao in her arms, closed the door, glanced at Yang Cheng silently with a smile, and then walked in with Yang Cheng. Xiao Yao felt that his whole body was trembling slightly, it was definitely not that he was shaking, and looked at Yang Cheng suspiciously.

This courtyard is larger than the courtyard where Xiao Yao and the others live, with a row of 3 rooms, one room on each side, similar to a modern courtyard house, with a courtyard in the middle, and a big tree on the west side, under which there are stone tables and a few stone benches. A family of three passed by the houses on both sides, looked in from the window, and saw about 20 boys aged 6-8 sitting in the house on one side, Brother Kunzi was also there, and about 20 boys aged 9-12 were sitting in the house on the other side. are concentrating on reading aloud.

Yang Cheng and the three of them entered the hall, and as soon as they entered the hall, they saw a portrait of Confucius hanging in the middle, an offering table underneath, and an incense burner. Two chairs with backrests were placed on each side of the table, and two chairs and a small square table were placed on each side of the table, so that guests could sit on each side.

As soon as the three of them sat down, they saw a middle-aged uncle about 40 years old, with a mustache, wearing a Confucian robe, and looking serious, come in, Yang Cheng and Zhang Suniang, who were holding Xiao Yao, stood up and shouted, "Dad." ”

"Well, it's back, and it's all going well?" The middle-aged uncle nodded, then looked at Xiao Yao, sat in the first seat and said, "Sit down, don't be restrained."

"Yes, it's all going well." Yang Cheng hugged Xiao Yao and sat down slowly, "My parents are fine, they just want to recuperate, I left the silver taels for my eldest brother and they will take care of them." ”

"Okay, it's okay. Are you going to go on a dart game to cancel the holiday? Zhang Xiucai looked at Yang Cheng with an expressionless face and nodded, and said, "See if Lao Li is there, call him over for a meal, Su Niang, you will prepare a few more dishes later, and everyone will have a meal together." ”

"Yes, Dad. Let me go now, lest he go out again later." Yang Cheng hurriedly got up and said, and then hugged Xiao Yao and walked out. Xiao Yao was very curious why Yang Cheng was so nervous and rushed so quickly.

"Wait, you're in such a hurry to get there? Put the baby down for me. Zhang Xiucai hurriedly stopped and said.

Zhang Suniang covered her mouth with one hand, squinted her eyes and snickered.

"Oh, oh," Yang Cheng nervously turned around and put Xiao Yao on Zhang Suniang's hand, then nodded and said, "I'll go back when I go." Xiao Yao clapped her hands happily when she saw Yang Cheng like this.

"Hey, it's been so long, and I haven't grown any way." Zhang Xiucai shook his head with a smile and said.

"That's Daddy, you're mighty." Zhang Suniang said with a smile.

Oh, Xiao Yao understands, this is a typical son-in-law's performance when he goes to his father-in-law's house. And this show has a bad taste, and he always likes to scare Yang Cheng.

"Su Niang, tell me what this baby is about." Zhang Xiucai looked at Zhang Suniang and Xiao Yao with a smile and said.

"Dad, this baby was picked up by the Qingshan River, and at that time it was the only one by the river, surrounded by mountains and woods, and we couldn't leave her there. Right. Zhang Suniang said with a serious expression.

"Well, that's right." Zhang Xiucai stroked the beard, nodded and said.

"And I want to have a child too, so I left the big girl behind." Zhang Suniang looked at Zhang Xiucai and said with a smile.

"Okay, now that you've come out, it's better to raise a child, so you won't be cranky. If you decide, you have to treat your child well, you know. Oh, what's the child's name? Zhang Xiucai asked with a smile.

"Big girl," Zhang Suniang replied.

"The big girl can only be used as a nickname, but the big name can't be used, it's not that you two don't know words, why are you so casual?" Zhang Xiucai said angrily.

"Dad, isn't this waiting for you, this big name still needs you to be old." Zhang Suniang hurriedly reassured.

"Of course you have to do it, why do you want me to open a private school, and I'll get up with a big name." Zhang Xiucai said happily.

"Okay, dad, what do you say?" Zhang Suniang squinted and said.

Xiao Yao looked at it very funny, this Zhang Xiucai is an old naughty boy, and he has to follow along.

"Come, boy, give it to me, and you go and prepare for dinner." Zhang Xiucai stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Yao and said with a smile.

"Yes, Dad." Zhang Suniang stood up with Xiao Yao in her arms and walked to the first seat, handed Xiao Yao to Zhang Xiucai, and said with a smile to Xiao Yao, "Little ghost, stay with your grandfather." ”

"Dad, then I'm out." Zhang Suniang greeted Zhang Xiucai, took a package out of the door of the hall, and turned to the west.

Zhang Xiucai stood on his lap with both hands on Xiao Yao, and when the two faced each other, Xiao Yao smiled at Zhang Xiucai, and Zhang Xiucai said to Xiao Yao with a smile: "Oh, I can finally hold my grandson, these two unfilial ones made me wait for so long." Girl, let's get to know each other first, I'm my grandfather, known as Zhang Xiucai. Remember? Ha, ha,"

"Gong," Xiao Yao said with a smile and clasped her hands together and arched her hands towards Zhang Xiucai.

"Hey, you're going to say it. Great, smart baby. I will definitely teach you to read and write in the future. Zhang Xiucai laughed, and then said: "Let's come up with a good name first, a good name is a good start." Come, what daimyo do you like? ”

Zhang Xiucai then shook his head and thought: "Wealth and goods are Qiwei, pearls and jades are white." ”

glanced at Xiao Yao and read: "Young and graceful, ambitious." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yao didn't react, he closed one eye and continued to read slowly: "The words are elegant; Idle and sensitive; Zhong Lingyuxiu; Tranquil and simple; This heart can be slowed down, Qingzhi is in Yuanxiang; Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the South Mountain; Yaolin Qiongshu contains strange flowers; Gou Yu is affectionate. ”

Xiao Yao began to clap her hands as soon as she heard Yaolin, and shouted "Ah, yes".

Zhang Xiu stopped and looked at Xiao Yao and said, "See Nanshan leisurely? Xiao Yao shook his head, and Zhang Xiucai said again: "Yaolin Qiongshu contains strange flowers? Xiao Yao nodded immediately, "Hmm, mm." ”

"Ha, ha, you're such a ghost girl, can you understand it when you're so old?" Zhang Xiucai laughed and said, "Yes, your name is Yang Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao, live a free life, haha." ”

"Uh-huh," Xiao Yao nodded happily.

"It's a smart child, but you have to teach it well, I have to keep an eye on it, I can't let the two of them raise it badly", Zhang Xiucai touched Xiao Yao's head and said to himself.

"Xiao Yao, come, go with your grandfather to see how the friends study. We can't be worse than them," Zhang Xiucai picked up Xiao Yao and walked out.

As soon as I came out to the door of the hall, I saw the children in the two classrooms coming out, maybe it was a recess, some of you chased me, I chased you running around; Some stood aside in twos and threes, not knowing what to discuss; Some just sat dumbfounded against the wall.
