CHAPTER XXXVI
After the Su family's letter was sent, there was no news for a while, and Su Fuzi was worried for a long time, and he never saw anyone from the Di family come to trouble him, but despite this, his heart could not be put down.
But although Su Fuzi can no longer feel at ease, there are still some things that he still needs to do, he came to Xujia Village to be a master, and the students' classes still need to be taught, and he can't ignore these students because he is uneasy, not to mention that the students are anxious when they release the list today, and Su Fuzi can only put down his affairs first, and appease these restless students first.
On the day of the release of the list, Cheng Zhi made an appointment with several people in the village to go to Linchuan City early in the morning, he began to look for his name from the beginning of the list, and he has been looking for three or four columns and has not found it, Cheng Zhi was a little discouraged in his heart, and he tried to find it from the very end of the year and still looked for a long time or did not find it.
Cheng Zhi was anxious, and just as he wanted to continue looking, Cheng An next to him excitedly shouted, "I found it!" ”
Cheng Zhi quickly looked over, and he finally saw his ranking where Cheng An's finger pointed, almost in the middle of the entire list.
Seventy-third place is not a good result.
In fact, since Chengzhi started the exam that day, he has always felt that there are still too many things that are inferior to others, but he has to admit that when he first saw Su Qiyun's ranking on the list, there was still a lot of gap in his heart.
Fifth place, this is Su Qiyun's ranking.
At this time, Cheng Zhicai felt like a frog at the bottom of the well, and he could only rank seventy-third among the hundreds of students in Linchuan County, even if those students in Xujia Village were ranked behind him, but what if he only took the lead in Xujia Village?
After all, he still can't compare to those people outside Xujia Village.
But Cheng Zhi also realized that he was just reading books, and it was not enough to just eat the knowledge on the books, and the predecessors often said that 'what is on paper is shallow in the end' There is still a certain amount of truth, and many things need to be experienced by him in order to truly feel the deep meaning.
When he took the exam, he found that the real questions were not so rigid, and basically combined with some current events today to ask them what they thought about these things and how to solve them.
Cheng An was very excited to see his eldest brother's ranking on the list, but when he saw his eldest brother's increasingly lost expression, Cheng An couldn't help but put away his smile.
He knew that his eldest brother must be very dissatisfied with his results, after all, Cheng Zhi has always attached great importance to this matter, he never knew when his eldest brother fell asleep every night, and in his eyes, his eldest brother has always been excellent, whether it is the village chief or the masters, they have praised the eldest brother, I don't know if it is because the eldest brother sees that his ranking is not as good as others, so he is so disappointed?
Halfway through, Cheng Zhi read the list from beginning to end again, and then said in a deep voice, "Let's go!" ”
There is no Cheng'an's name on that list, in fact, they all have such preparations in their hearts, but when they really see such a result, Chengzhi will inevitably be a little disappointed.
This result made him feel that the gap between the two brothers and others was too big, this was just a small Linchuan County, there were eighteen counties in the country, more than 300 small counties, and thousands of small villages, in Linchuan they all had such a big gap with others, what about when they left Linchuan? Is it true that there is no chance of getting ahead at all?
The other people who came with Cheng Zhi also had different moods, in their opinion, the people from their Xujia Village were already very powerful on the list, so what did it matter if they were ranked first or last? Moreover, in their opinion, Chengzhi's ranking is not bad, and many of them are still on the same list as Cheng'an.
I don't know how long it took, Cheng Zhi, who was immersed in his thoughts, noticed that these people seemed to be too silent, knowing that he had affected them, Cheng Zhi inevitably felt a little guilty, and said with a smile, "It's rare for everyone to come to Linchuan City once, everyone didn't take a good turn last time, why don't we all go around!" ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Zhi inevitably thought of the little girl who was left at home today, and the girl said last time that she wanted him to accompany her to have a good stroll, but because of Di Feng, they couldn't make it, and today because the girl made an appointment to go to Mrs. Su's house to take classes, she couldn't come with her, so it's better to take this opportunity to help her buy something!
But several people around Cheng Zhi looked at each other a few times and did not agree with Cheng Zhi's suggestion, one said, "Still no, I don't have anything to buy, when I went out this morning, Ah Niang also said that the firewood at home is not enough, let me go back and take time to go to the mountain to chop some firewood, after the delay, I may not have time to go into the mountain today, I better leave now, what about you?" ”
As soon as the words fell, another person continued, "We came out today with the help of the uncles from Linchuan in the village, if we take a stroll in Linchuan again, I am worried that I don't know when we will go to visit after such a visit, instead of letting the uncles wait for us, why don't we go back and wait for them now!" ”
The rest of the people also nodded in agreement, it was enough to trouble others when they came to Linchuan, why were they embarrassed to trouble them again?
Cheng Zhi was inevitably a little ashamed to hear them say this, he just wanted to let everyone relax and relax, but he didn't think about everyone's current situation, Ah Niang often said that he acted safely, but he didn't know that many times he didn't think about it, speaking of which, he thought about the most was the family, so Ah Niang felt that many things were handed over to him reliably, but when he met other people's things, he didn't think about it so much.
Cheng An knew what he was thinking about now as soon as he saw his eldest brother's expression, he was a little unhappy in his heart, those people brushed the face of the eldest brother and rejected the eldest brother's suggestion, obviously in his opinion, his eldest brother was also thinking about everyone, but why is listening to the meaning of those people now faintly accusing the eldest brother of being inconsiderate?
But Cheng An knew that the eldest brother must not want him to intervene on this occasion, after all, his eldest brother had accused him of acting too impulsive countless times, but Cheng An was a little annoyed with the attitude of those people towards the eldest brother, and he was already thinking about what way to get it back from these people in the future.
Although Cheng An thought so much in his heart, Cheng Zhi didn't have any special feelings, and still said softly, "It's okay, since that's the case, let's go back first!" ”
A few people returned to the agreed place with the uncles in the village, those uncles came to Linchuan City only when they had something to do, and the matter was not finished at this time, at this time, it was really as they said to wait here for the uncles in the village to finish their work, please come back.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was standing aside and waiting for someone, Cheng An quietly rubbed to Cheng Zhi's side and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, do you have something to buy?" It's still early, so let's go shopping first! ”
Cheng Zhi, who was looking down and thinking about the ranking just now, suddenly came back to his senses when he heard this, and after thinking about it, Cheng An just asked but shook his head, he didn't have anything to buy, and the proposal at that time was just thinking about whether they would have something to buy, since everyone didn't have it, there was no need to do those things anymore.
Cheng An was a little disappointed, he knew that the eldest brother really didn't want to go again, in fact, he wanted to go and see, after all, he hadn't had a chance to go to Linchuan so many times, last time the eldest brother finally agreed to take her out, but he didn't expect to go back after walking a few steps, to be honest, he hasn't even figured out what Linchuan looks like now.
But since the eldest brother doesn't want to go, and the eldest brother is not in a good mood now, he still doesn't mention it, anyway, there will definitely be a chance in the future.
Several people waited for a while before the uncles in the village came back one after another, Cheng An saw the familiar car and jumped on Uncle Ah Hu's excitedly, Cheng Zhi looked at the back and frowned slightly, and then got into the car when Cheng An turned around and waved to him.
Xu Hu, who was driving at the front of the ox cart, didn't see Cheng Zhi's expression just flashing, and waited until he felt that his car was almost full, and then shouted, "Sit tight!" ”
Immediately drove on the road, in fact, the relationship between Uncle Hu and Chengzhi and their family can be said to be the closest, but in recent years, as Chengzhi grew up and understood what the rumors he had heard meant, he became more and more unwilling to have too much contact with Uncle Hu.
He often feels that his psychology is not good, after all, their family can survive to this day Uncle Hu has also helped a lot, in those years when he and Cheng'an were still young, Uncle Ah Hu often went up the mountain to hunt and sent some things to their house, and even most of Cheng'an's hunting techniques can be said to be taught by Uncle Hu, and in those years, their family's land was basically focused on by Uncle Hu, otherwise how could only a woman and two young children with Ah Niang plough those land?
He knew that those rumors in the village might also be due to Uncle Hu having helped them too much for so many years, their relationship with Uncle Hu was too close, and others would inevitably gossip, and Chengzhi also heard that Uncle Hu had also been happy with Ah Niang before she married Daddy.
Cheng Zhi didn't know if it was true that the people in the village said that Uncle Ah Hu would not marry Ah Niang, but Cheng Zhi still felt that for the sake of their good, it was best for them to keep some distance from Uncle Ah Hu.
Uncle Hu will not forget Uncle Hu's kindness to their family, but Chengzhi doesn't want A-Niang to be splashed with dirty water because of this, as for Uncle Hu's kindness to them, let him think of other ways to repay it.
Just when Cheng Zhi was thinking about how to keep his distance from Uncle Ah Hu without a trace in the future, Uncle Ah Hu had already chatted enthusiastically with Cheng An, who was sitting at the front, Cheng Zhi didn't pay attention to what they said, until Cheng An didn't know what Uncle Ah Hu said and laughed excitedly, Cheng Zhi was attracted to look at them.
Cheng An saw Cheng Zhi looking at it and said with a smile, "Big brother, Uncle Ah Hu also went to see the list today, he said that our Xujia Village has not had such good results for many years, big brother, are you a rare talent in our village?" ”
The other people in the car also echoed when they heard Cheng An say this, "Yes, Cheng Zhi, you will be a rare talent in our village in the future, this time the person on the list in our village is not right, your ranking is not bad, I think Xu Wen has just been on the list!" ”
"What happened to me just made the list?" Xu Wen was not unhappy because the people in the car said that his ranking was not good, and he still said happily, "I'm on the list, what about you?" But speaking of which, I didn't expect that I would be able to pass the exam once, and I thought that at least I would have to take the exam several times, even my father didn't have hope for me, and I didn't know how happy my father would be when I went back! ”
Seeing Xu Wendese's appearance in the car, he was all kinds of envy and jealousy, and secretly vowed that he must prepare for the exam well next time, strive to pass the exam next time, and make his family happy.
