After breakfast, Zhu Ping'an went to the old house, in addition to the high-quality tobacco bought in the town, Zhu's father asked Zhu Ping'an to carry two pheasants, a fat rabbit, and two fish, all of which were hunted by Zhu's father and eldest brother in the mountains, although his mother Chen didn't say anything, but her face looked very unhappy.

"I've been to the old house and my teacher, so I'll go home and study, and when the time comes, my son will earn a wife for his mother."

Zhu Ping'an was a little unhappy when he saw his mother Chen, knowing that she had always been dissatisfied with the old mansion, and deliberately made her mother Chen happy before going out.

"I know how to fool my mother with those who don't have it, okay, go quickly, come back early, and my mother will make you something to eat." Mother Chen's face was much better, and she waved her hand to urge Zhu Ping'an to go and return quickly.

After saying goodbye to his mother, Zhu Ping'an walked to the old house with his things. I met a lot of neighbors along the way, and they were all called uncles and aunts, and the neighbors were the same as yesterday, they also asked this and that, all about the exam, and they all felt that Zhu Ping'an gave the village a long face.

Where is this, the first step of the imperial examination is just the first step, Zhu Ping'an was praised by the neighbors and blushed a little.

It was only a few minutes away from home to the old house, and it would take more than ten minutes to get to the old house because I had to talk to the neighbors.

Pushed open the door of the old mansion and called out to my grandfather and grandmother.

The first thing that catches my eye is the figure of the little fourth aunt rushing in an arrow and the babbling voice, "Ah, Bi'er is back, mother, mother, come quickly, Bi'er is back, ah, why do you still take things, chickens, rabbits and fish." ”

As she spoke, the little fourth aunt unceremoniously took the pheasant and rabbit in Zhu Ping'an's hand, and she hadn't seen meat for several days.

Long time no see, airport security officer.

"Hello Fourth Aunt." Zhu Ping'an greeted the little fourth aunt with a smile.

"Okay, Bi'er is better, but give our old Zhu family face, it was gongs and drums that day, you don't know how lively it is." The little fourth aunt has a chicken and a fish in one hand and a rabbit in the other, and she also has a smile on her face.

Soon under the voice of the little fourth aunt, the grandmother also came out of the room, her white hair neatly combed.

"You're back, your grandfather has been thinking about you for a long time, come into the house, the fourth family will go and pour a bowl of water for you." Grandmother didn't seem to be in good spirits, and when she saw the pheasants, rabbits and fish brought by Zhu Ping'an, her face seemed to be slightly better.

With my grandmother came out was my grandfather, and my grandfather today wore the eighty percent new green cloth that he was usually reluctant to wear, and he cleaned it up neatly.

"Yu'er is here, good, good, good grandson." Grandfather saw Zhu Ping'an is praise, some time ago the town came to report the good news, when the grandfather he happened to be present, when those people knew that he was Zhu Ping'an's grandfather, a burst of boasting that the grandfather raised a good grandson, there must be a big future in the future, this is the youngest child in the town, or the first in the entire Anqing Mansion, the grandfather was touted that day was a little fluttering, the only regret is that he was wearing coarse cloth clothes at the time, not decent enough, so the grandfather has been wearing this set of new coarse cloth straight embellishments in the following days.

Zhu Ping'an handed the high-quality tobacco he bought from the town to his grandfather in a timely manner, which made his grandfather even happier and said a few good words.

After entering the room, my grandfather asked them about the exam, and Zhu Ping'an also explained them in detail one by one.

"Since I was a child, I have watched Bi'er be different, and I know that Bi'er will definitely have a head on the ground one day." The little fourth aunt touched Zhu Ping'an's head, and finally said with emotion.

Head-to-head?

It's to get ahead!

If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them, it makes people listen to creepy. Anyway, when I was a child, you didn't think I had a good idea, I washed my hands, and you still said that I was evil.

"It's to get ahead." Grandfather slammed the pot on the table and corrected.

"Oh, it's just getting ahead, cough cough ......" The little fourth aunt covered her mouth and quickly changed her words.

After a while, my grandmother couldn't help it, so she asked Zhu Ping'an, "Yu'er, how is your uncle now, is he well?" ”

Zhu Ping'an was stunned when asked, what is the disease, when did the uncle get sick, not to mention how comfortable the uncle was outside, where was the illness.

"Don't hide it from me, your uncle has written home, saying that you took care of him when he is sick, and asked the family to bring him money twice. He also said that he told you not to let us tell us, for fear that we would be worried. It's just that he really didn't have money for medicine there, so he wrote a letter to his family. The family doesn't have enough money, and your aunt went to Yue's house yesterday to borrow money and ask someone to send it to him, and she hasn't come back yet. ”

The grandmother had a worried look on her face.

belch

It turned out that this was the reason why my grandmother was worried!

Uncle is too much! Looking at the worried grandmother, thinking about the aunt who went to her mother's house to borrow money, and then thinking about the dashing and dignified uncle in the drunken monarch building in Anqing Mansion, Zhu Ping'an was really completely speechless about his sanctimonious uncle, if you want money, you want money, you are still sick and the whole family is worried, there is really a feeling of hating iron and steel.

But now that I say it, I am afraid that my grandmother will not be able to accept it, and the uncle has written a letter in advance and arranged it, and the uncle is good at doing face work, and if I say it myself, my grandmother and aunt will probably not believe it.

After another conversation, Zhu Ping'an was leaving.

The grandfather stopped him and didn't let him go, saying that he asked his grandmother to clean up the chickens, rabbits and fish brought by Zhu Ping'an, and let Zhu Ping'an stay to eat and then go back. It wasn't until Zhu Ping'an said that he would go to his mentor and grandson, that his grandfather let Zhu Ping'an go.

"Yu'er, work hard, your uncle has won nine out of ten this time, and you have to work hard to glorify your ancestors in your family." Grandfather told Zhu Ping'an at the door.

Uncle is indeed stable, and he can't pass steadily!

Zhu Ping'an complained silently in his heart, but when he saw his grandfather's expectant face, he still couldn't bear to say what his uncle had done.

Glory to the ancestors, the uncle can't count on it, so he can only rely on himself.

Zhu Ping'an finished complaining in his heart, and once again saw the luck on the heads of his grandfather and others, but this time in addition to seeing the white luck on their heads, he also vaguely saw some other things in the luck, but it was too vague to see clearly.

It's strange how something has changed.

However, luck has always been very chicken, and luck is elusive, and it can only be seen, and it is not of substantial help to himself, and Zhu Ping'an doesn't take it too seriously.

Asking for people is like swallowing a three-foot sword, relying on people is like the nine heavens, and everything is the most reliable only if you work hard.

Blinking slightly, calming down, Zhu Ping'an said goodbye to his grandparents and turned to leave.
