Li Jiaerlang Zhongjinshi only represents him personally, but Lushan Town School won the top spot in Tangyin County, but it represents the whole township, which is the honor of the whole township, and everyone feels that there is light on their faces.
The four big squires immediately decided to hold a grand celebration ceremony in the school, and basically the villagers who had a little face were invited, and all the benches in the school room were raised, and the small playground of the school was filled with nearly a hundred guests.
More than a dozen students from the university room acted as temporary hostesses, borrowing hundreds of coarse porcelain bowls from the tavern, and the students were busy boiling water and handing the bowls.
Li Daqi was also invited, his son won the first place in the county, he was very proud in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it at all, but hid in a bunch of Li clan people, he was afraid that others would point at Qing'er and say, 'Look! That is Li Zhudao's son. ’
He was very proud of his son, but he felt extremely guilty that he had caused his son.
"Big!"
Someone behind him was calling him, and when he turned around, it was the patriarch Li Wenyou, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Li Wenyou smiled and said: "I heard from friends in the county that we can win the championship this time, mainly because Qing'er performed well and gave our family a long face!" Daqi, this is how you are educated. ”
Li Daqi was ashamed and said: "It is the ancestors who have spirits under the spring and protect Qing'er." ”
"That's right! Right! That's right. ”
Li Wenyou appreciated this sentence very much, he himself realized it deeply, he looked at both sides, and said in a low voice: "It's up to you and me to say this, but don't spread it, it's not good for Qing'er!" ”
"I understand, please rest assured Patriarch."
At this time, someone called Li Wenyou from a distance, Li Wenyou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You have to look for me for everything, and your legs are going to run thin." ”
"Those who can work hard, the patriarch should be busy! I'll just stay on my own. ”
Li Wenyou asked other clansmen to greet Li Daqi, and he hurried away by himself.
Li Daqi just sat down, turned his head, but found that it was Du Baozheng Li Wengui sitting next to him, his scalp was numb for a while, and he was embarrassed to leave, so he had to say hello.
Li Wengui kept a straight face, as if he didn't know Li Daqi, he and his brother were almost about to turn their faces because of Li Yanqing, first for Liu Chenghong, and then his grandson was replaced by Li Yanqing, but Li Yanqing also performed well, which was equivalent to slapping him Li Wengui in the face.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still holding the position of Du Baozheng, he would not have the interest to participate in any celebration party, Li Wengui glanced at Li Daqi coldly, snorted, got up and sat down somewhere else.
Li Daqi was really embarrassed, and at this moment, there was a burst of firecrackers at the gate, and someone shouted: "It's coming!" Here it comes! ”
Li Daqi didn't care about any embarrassment, and quickly stood up and looked at the door, the head in front of him blocked his vision, he simply stood on the wooden bench, stretched his neck, and finally saw his son.
I saw my son Li Yanqing and the other three people being carried into the gate by dozens of juniors, each with a big red flower on their bodies, and walked to the front amid a burst of applause and cheers.
Li Daqi's tears flowed down uncontrollably, he wiped his tears while looking, at this time, he suddenly heard someone whispering behind him: "That person is Brother Qing'er's father!" ”
"Godson is well-giving! gave birth to such a competitive son. ”
Li Daqi's heart was pounding, but he didn't dare to look back, but his ears were ridged, and he could hear every word of the people behind him clearly.
"I heard that he used to be a lifter, but then he offended the county and was very miserable, and now his son is angry again, I think my father has been educated well since he was a child!"
"That's right, if I educate my son like him, maybe my son can win the first place in the county."
Li Daqi's waist slowly straightened, and for the first time in so many years, he heard someone praise himself behind his back, instead of poking his back and scolding Li Catching, which made his heart fluctuate and he was very excited.
.......
The celebration ceremony did not end until noon, and the crowd gradually dispersed, and Li Daqi was called forward by the patriarch and introduced him to two other local gentry, Wang Wanhao and Tang Lian.
In fact, they have known each other for a long time, but it is not good to mention the past again, so everyone pretended to meet for the first time, Wang Wanhao and Tang Lian praised Li Yanqing for his cleverness, praised Li Daqi for teaching his son well, and warmly invited their father and son to go to the house as guests when they were free.
In the end, everyone went home, and Li Daqi saw his son holding a donkey waiting for him at the door of the school, his heart was hot, and he walked up quickly.
"Daddy, how is this donkey?" Li Yanqing patted the sturdy donkey beside him and smiled.
This donkey was his prize, not only the donkey, but also a reward of 20 yuan each, which was very rewarding.
Li Daqi touched his son's head, looked at the donkey again and said with a smile: "This donkey is good, it is a three-pink donkey in Texas, with a tall and strong physique, and it will be sold for at least fifteen yuan in the mule and horse market." ”
"This donkey will be used by Daddy in the future."
Li Daqi hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't need to, it's just right for you to ride it to school!" ”
"It's only three miles from me to the school, I am walking and playing with Li Er and Li San on the road, and there is no place to tie a donkey in the school, so it's best for my father to ride it to the county."
Li Daqi saw that his son was filial, so he happily agreed, he took the donkey and said with a smile: "Let's go to the town to buy food first, and then go home!" ”
"Daddy, how is Big Black?"
"Of course Da Hei is good, I caught a big-bellied weasel yesterday, Aunt Hu is very happy, and reward it with a big bun."
"Where's our house? It should be fixed! ”
"It's been repaired, there is one more room than the original, Daddy left it for you, and you will have your own room in the future, and I have bought furniture....."
The father and son walked as they talked, leading the donkey to the town.
......
As soon as Li Daqi and his son returned to the entrance of the village, the sound of firecrackers sounded again, and Baozheng Li Zhen came out with the whole village, which really made Li Yanqing surprised and moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward to thank everyone.
Uncle Hu, a neighbor, carried him directly with more than a dozen descendants, and the whole village cheered and applauded together, Li Zhen gave a thumbs up to Li Daqi and said: "Brother Qing has fought for our village this time!" ”
Aunt Gu next to her hurriedly said, "Yes! I went to the town to buy something today, and the store heard that I was from Li Wencun, so he praised it and sold it to me cheaply. In the past, my sister-in-law couldn't stand you and said some ugly things, I apologize to you! ”
Li Daqi hurriedly waved his hand, "No!" No! Everyone was very nice to me. ”
Li Daqi saw the enthusiastic faces, he raised his hands and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you folks, Qing'er has always been taken care of by everyone, Daqi is grateful, if Qing'er has achievements in the future, he will definitely return to the township, everyone please go to the cold house and sit down!" ”
As soon as Li Yanqing walked to the front of the house, Da Hei rushed up with his tail wagging his tail, and suddenly knocked down the little master, so excited that he licked his face, everyone laughed, followed Li Daqi into the yard, and immediately packed the yard to the brim.
Aunt Hu brought her daughter-in-law to help, boiled tea and sent water to everyone, Li Yanqing also opened the package, and distributed the candy and snacks bought in the county, as well as pine nuts and melon seeds for everyone to taste.
After an hour of trouble, the talents in the village gradually dispersed, Hu Sheng patted Li Daqi's shoulder and smiled: "It's really proud to have such a son!" ”
Li Daqi's eyes were red, wiped a handful of tears and said, "If Yun Niang is still here, how happy she should be." ”
Aunt Hu next to her clapped her hands, "Daqi, you reminded me, your father-in-law came here in the morning, and it happened that you were not there, he asked you to take Qing'er to find a time to sit with him, they want Qing'er!" ”
Li Daqi's face was a little gloomy, how his father-in-law treated their father and son at the beginning, he still remembers it clearly, and now he thinks of his grandson when he sees that Qing'er is a little bit more promising.
Hu Sheng persuaded him: "After all, they are also big families, and it is already rare to be willing to take the initiative to bow their heads, and besides, Qing'er should also sweep his mother's tomb, right?" It is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, for Qing'er's sake, don't take the past to heart. ”
Li Daqi nodded, "You're right, they are Qing'er's grandfather after all, I'll send a message to them when I go back, and I'll take Qing'er to them to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year." ”
