Chapter 13: Aunt Ma Arrives
After making up his mind, Wang Ya worked harder to read and write, and Wang Sheng also happened to have time, he was studying on the side, and in his spare time, he taught Wang Ya, or Wang Ya would come to ask Wang Sheng if he didn't know it.
Because the family's food storage is enough, and there is an unexpected income, so, Wang Sheng did not go hunting, but concentrated on studying, Wang Sheng's Xiucai exam is not easy, and what does Xiucai do, Wang Sheng is lucky, and found a position in the official office, but Xiucai is actually not a serious person who has participated in the exam at all, there is a saying that Xiucai, but it is just a qualification certificate that you can continue to take the exam.
And, the triennial autumn festival will start tomorrow autumn, so Wang Sheng can only study hard at the moment, Wang Sheng knows that his talent is not very good, and because of economic reasons, he can't enter the official school to receive teaching, and he usually even saves books to read.
So, he hopes to make up for these conditions with his own diligence.
And when Wang is free, he will sit down to read and read with the father and daughter, and even teach Wang Ya, if she can, the family of three will study happily for a day.
Wang Sheng stood up and stretched, only to find that the sky was dark, and Wang was still reading tirelessly, and his head was about to get into the book.
And Wang Ya, the little hand has long been frozen red, but still persistently continue to draw his own words on the ground, from time to time, put the unbearable little hand into the clothes to warm up, and then stretch out, during this time, Wang Ya did not waste time, but took the opportunity to recite the knowledge just seen.
For several days, the family of three lived like this, until this day, when the family of three was still sitting down to read and read as usual, there was a knock on the door, and Wang couldn't help asking, "Who?" While asking, he was naturally going to open the door, and the book in his hand was handed to Wang Sheng first, and then he went to open the door.
A smiling voice sounded outside: "It's me, Aunt Wang!" ”
As soon as Wang Sheng took the book, even Wang Ya's together took it into the house, not that Wang Sheng and Wang were stingy, but this book was too precious for them, and naturally it could not be accidentally read, that is, they were careful when they used it themselves, for fear of breaking it a little bit, if the guest asked to see it, they couldn't help but give it, if they gave it, in case it was broken, you were embarrassed to say anything, so, simply, the Wang family never showed people their books when outsiders were there.
When Wang heard this, it turned out to be Aunt Ma, and he opened the courtyard door with a squeak, and said, "Oh, it's Aunt Ma!" ”
Actually, don't look at everyone shouting this aunt and that aunt, this is not said in terms of age, but in terms of generation, it is just a title, not an aunt in the real sense, it is plausible, it should be said.
For example, if there is an old woman you don't know, then you can't shout anything, then just shout, the child and his aunt, there will be no mistake, this child and his aunt are the same as this aunt Wang and Aunt Ma.
Aunt Ma is the daughter-in-law of Uncle Ma in the village, the reason why Uncle Ma will get this title is not because of his surname, in fact, Uncle Ma is also surnamed Wang, the name is called Wang Ma, a face is as its name, it is really a horse face, very long, at the beginning someone joked, when he was a child, he called Uncle Ma Da Ma, Uncle Ma was not angry and laughed, and later, this name gradually spread, everyone called Da Ma, and then later, Da Ma married a wife and had children, naturally it rose in generation, and everyone automatically called Uncle Da Ma.
Aunt Ma smiled and said: "Aunt Wang, what have you been busy with lately, I haven't seen you come to visit us, and the little girl doesn't come, and the pear blossoms are chattering!" "Pear Blossom, naturally, is Aunt Ma's daughter.
Wang also smiled and responded: "Hey, isn't this the family busy cleaning up, won't it be the New Year in a few days, besides, hey, let's just take advantage of this time to rest for a while, or we will be busy again in the spring." In addition, I have been a little lazy these days, so I haven't gone out to walk around. Xiaoya, you also know that the illness was just not long after, I thought, the weather is so cold, just detain her from going out of the yard, if Pear Blossom doesn't dislike it, let Pear Blossom come to play with Xiaoya. ”
Aunt Ma smiled: "Look at you, look at what you said, okay, I'll call my girl over when I turn around, just don't disturb you, what dislike is not disliked." I'm here this time, in fact, I just want to ask you, do you want to go to the town to get enough New Year's goods? If so, we'll go tomorrow, would you like to come along? ”
When Wang heard this, he nodded: "Oh, that's really thank you so much, Aunt Ma, then I'll bother you tomorrow, you also know the way, and your family has the financial resources, and you also bought an ox cart, it seems that this time, I can trust you." "Wang's half thanks and half praise, too, people have come to the door in person to say, what a big face, generally ask people to do things are to ask you to take the initiative to say, and this time it is the other party who takes the initiative to ask, how sincere it seems, even if there is nothing to buy, Wang's even if there is nothing to buy, you have to say yes, or not more not to give face, besides, it is indeed to buy New Year's goods, if it weren't for Aunt Ma saying this, Wang almost forgot.
As soon as Aunt Ma heard the other party's words, her face smiled like a flower, and her mouth was also giggling, obviously Wang's praise won her heart, Aunt Ma also pretended to be modest: "Ouch, look at what you said, what is this, what is the blessing, if you want me to say, you are a blessed one, look at your family, that is a showman, the only one in our village!" "That being said, Aunt Ma's pride can't be hidden.
It is true that Aunt Ma has the ability to show off, after all, Uncle Ma is relatively rich in the village, Uncle Ma was born in iron, and his specialty is to nail the horseshoe, which makes the title of Uncle Ma even stronger.
This time, because of Wang Sheng's report, they got a windfall, even if it is a family as rich as Uncle Ma, there are a lot, so the good impression of Wang Sheng's family has doubled, and Wang Sheng is the only talent in the village, they also want to tie up, which is why there is this scene before.
Wang Sheng put things in the house, and did not come out, and read directly in the house, for Wang Sheng, he already knew how to read in the noise, that is, he took two small cloths and plugged his ears, so that he could not hear what he said.
