Even Shouyi is almost barefoot now and is not afraid to wear shoes, he doesn't care about anything, he is thick-skinned or something, no matter how Zhou beats and scolds, he doesn't care at all. The conflict between mother and son is often as if Zhou is angry, but even Shouyi is like no one.

Although the Zhou family is domineering and powerful, they can't stop Lian Shouyi's troubles every day. She also had times when she compromised with Lian Shouyi for the sake of being quiet and quiet. It was during the August Festival that Zhou's money was very loose, and it was likely that in order to have a good holiday, he would give Lian Shouyi some sweetness.

As for what Lian Shouyi will do when he gets the sweetness, and whether he will go down the road, Zhou actually doesn't care. Or maybe she thinks that's not her business.

This has always been the case with Zhou. She is very strict with the children and grandchildren in the family, but her discipline is only to make the children and grandchildren honor and obey herself, and she does not care about other aspects. Just like she is in charge, she just grasps the distribution power of food and clothing, and does not care about everything else.

Lian Man'er once thought about this problem, and she felt that Zhou's doing this was certainly related to her personality. On the other hand, it is also related to the standards required of this era for women's morality and functions in the home.

The Zhou family is so partial and values the two daughters Lian Lan'er and Lian Xiu'er, but the marriage of these two daughters is not her decision. Lian Lan'er was reluctant to marry at the beginning, it was the old man Lian who was the master, and he didn't ask for the opinions of Zhou and Lian Lan'er. The mother and daughter didn't dare to make trouble. As for Lian Xiu'er's situation, it was even worse, and the Zhou family didn't really make a fuss, but just tortured the Gu family to relieve his anger.

To put it bluntly, Zhou will never think about her family, her children and grandchildren, she will only worry about herself alone, and it is her grace to be able to give birth and raise her sons. She's the hero.

Lian Shouyi took out some of the money to play money this time must have come from the Zhou family.

"This old lady ...... There are times when it is soft. Zhang Caiyun shook his head and said.

"In the past, my mother always said that she couldn't afford to mess with her, her temperament, you don't provoke her, she has nothing to do all day to find trouble, but she can't live in peace. Now, fortunately, it's the other way around. Lian Man'er said again.

This is not to say that Zhou is old and his temperament has changed. It is said that the Zhou family with such a temperament can't even make trouble with Lian Shouyi.

"It's called one thing down one thing." Zhang Caiyun said. Then he asked Lian Ye'er again, "I think my third uncle won't run to the old mansion now." ”

"Go too," Lian Ye'er said, "It's just not as diligent as before." As soon as my father left, the old lady always chattered with him. He always speaks ill of my mother and me. My dad doesn't like to hear it,...... No one likes to hear it. ”

Although he had to deal with Lian Shouyi, the Zhou family still did not give up on winning over Lian Shouli and suppressing Zhao and Lian Ye'er. Even Man'er sometimes thinks that it is a miracle that Zhou can have such a spiritual head at such an age.

"Don't look at my third uncle like this, I think the old lady is much better to my third uncle than in the past." Lian Man'er laughed.

Lian Shouli is no longer as obedient to the Zhou family as in the past, and he has no ego at all, no wife and daughter. Zhou was not as casual as he had been in the past, but more gentle. It's just that this kind of mildness can't be maintained for long, and it doesn't go well. Zhou still scolded as soon as he opened his mouth.

In fact, Zhou's attitude towards each of his sons is a little different from the past.

"This morning, I went to the old mansion for a trip." Lian Ye'er said, "The old lady and her sister-in-law are preparing to cook." It's a lot of fun to watch, and there are a lot of things to prepare. Stir-fried and fried. The old lady was willing to eat this time. ”

"What do she have to give her the old stuff here." Zhang Caiyun smiled.

"Ya'er is there to help too, and the old lady seems to have made her a new dress." Lian Ye'er said again.

"Now Ya'er has become her confidant." Lian Zhi'er said.

"Ya'er can listen to her, let me do whatever I do." Lian Man'er nodded.

The two children around Lian Shouyi and the He family, Lian Ya'er is completely supported by the Zhou family, and Liulang is supported by them. As long as the two of them are full, the whole family will not be hungry.

A few people talked and laughed, and it was not until the middle of the moon that the banquet by the lotus pond dispersed. Even a few people who are trustworthy have some wine, but fortunately, they live not far away, and the family's car is also ready-made.

Lian Shouxin returned to the house, drank a bowl of sobering hot soup, and leaned on the pillow with his clothes, smirking and talking at the same time. Even Shouxin's alcohol consumption is not bad, and he knows how to control himself in this regard, and he never gets drunk. Now it's like this, it's drunk.

Even what Shouxin said at this time has no practical meaning, and the central idea is just two words, happy.

"Gorou and Xiaoqi don't know how they did in the exam?" Even Shouxin still had a smile in his words.

Zhang and Lian Man'er felt a little funny when they saw Lian Shouxin's appearance. Even Shouxin knew that he was worried about Wulang and Xiaoqi at this time, and Zhang's was even more so.

"It's cold enough this night now, I wonder if your brother and your brother have worn an extra dress? I don't know what I'm eating today......" Zhang babbled a lot, but didn't mention a word about how Wulang and Xiaoqi did in the exam, and whether they could pass the exam.

As a mother, Zhang's focus has never been on this.

"Mother, don't worry. Even if my brother and Xiao Qi can't think of it themselves, there are still people around them. Xiaoxi and Xiaoqingna, I have instructed them well. Mother, you forgot, when you left, you didn't ask less. Don't worry, these two girls will definitely take good care of my brother and Xiaoqi. Lian Man'er said.

"Yes." Zhang thought about it for a while, then nodded, "Man'er, this matter is thanks to you." The girl is different from the boy, no matter how careful the boy is, he is not as thoughtful as the girl. ”

Lian Man'er carefully adjusted and taught, and gave the two girls who were so easy to call to Wulang and Xiaoqi, in this matter, Zhang felt that Lian Man'er was very intimate.

"Hey, I haven't seen your brother for more than half a year......" Zhang put down the clothes he was folding in his hand, looked out the window, and said quietly.

"Mother, do you miss my brother?" Lian Man'er glanced at Zhang and said with a smile.

Every festive season, especially the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, it should be a day for family reunion.

"How can you not want that," Zhang did not deny, "that is the flesh that fell from my body." ”

“…… We will be able to meet soon, and my brother will definitely be back after the exam. Lian Man'er was relieved.

"Hmm." Zhang nodded.

When Lian Man'er said that Gorou would be back soon, she was full of confidence. However, things don't go as she expected and Gorou's plan.

Gorou and Xiaoqi finished the exam, but they didn't immediately return to the Thirty Mile Camp. Mr. Lu sent a letter to Goro from the capital and asked him to help with one thing. Wulang stayed in Fucheng because of this, and Xiao Qi also stayed with him, and studied with Mr. Chu with Shen Qian every day.

In the blink of an eye, it was late August. Zhang's life is almost every day with his fingers crossed, counting when Wulang and Xiaoqi will come back.

This morning, Lian Man'er was feeding the birds on the porch, and while watching the little girls pruning the flowers and trees in the yard, she heard a commotion outside, and the sound of gongs became one.

"What's going on?" Lian Man'er was slightly taken aback, and she was puzzled, so she hurriedly sent a little girl to the front yard to see what was going on. After a while, the little girl ran back with a happy face.

"If you go back to the girl, you will be very happy." Xu was in a hurry, and she was excited, and the little girl was a little out of breath when she spoke, "It's the county errand who came to report the good news, saying that the second master has won the show." ”

Even Man'er was overjoyed when she heard this.

"I'll forget it, there should be news in the next two days." Lian Man'er said this, turned her head and saw Zhang walking out of the house.

"Mother, did you hear that?" Lian Man'er hurriedly greeted her, "It's Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi has been admitted to Xiucai." ”

Zhang had already heard it in a trance in the house, but she didn't dare to believe it, but now she heard Lian Man'er say it so firmly, she completely believed it, and her eyes turned red with joy.

"Really? It's true? Our Xiaoqi has also been admitted to the Xiucai master? Zhang grabbed Lian Man'er and asked repeatedly.

"Hmm. Mother, didn't I tell you, Xiao Qi will definitely be able to pass the test. Lian Man'er said as she instructed Jixiang to go to the front and show her the good news.

Jixiang hurriedly went to the front yard, and soon, Han Zhong's daughter-in-law and several other daughters-in-law in charge came in and asked for instructions on the reception of the good news. Lian Man'er ordered them one by one, and as soon as the daughters-in-law retreated, Jixiang came back with good news.

"The master said, show it to the girl, take it back later, and hang it up properly." auspicious said to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er took the good news and read it carefully. Zhang also had to recognize some words, and he also leaned over to look at them.

"Mother, Xiao Qi took the second place in the exam this time, which is even better than my brother's original exam." Lian Man'er told Zhang's Dao.

Zhang was so happy that he only knew that he was reciting Amitabha.

"Back to the girl, just now the maid was in front, and I heard the good news that the person who took the first place in the exam was more than ten years older than our second master, and he was an old boy who had been tested for several years. Ji Xiang said with a smile.

"Don't let them say such things, it's just the words of the people who pleased us." Lian Man'er said, although Xiao Qi is in high school, he is still young, and he must guard against arrogance and rashness.

"The second master has passed the Xiucai examination, this is a great joy, if you pass the word, you will say that it was said by the old lady, and everyone has a reward!" Lian Man'er said again.

"Yes." Ji Xiang happily agreed, and was about to send the good news out, when he heard another gong outside.

"This good news, and there are still two batches of can't come?!"

……
