Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Covenant

Now that you have enlightenment, you can not hesitate to shirk your responsibilities as before, and you should bear the burden yourself, so you can just jump up hard, how many people in this world are like yourself in two lives? has lived two lifetimes, and if you are overwhelmed by these small pressures, these two lives are really in vain.

After standing up and moving his hands and feet, Zhang Jie asked, "When is your marriage?" ”

The girl sitting on the ground with her hands on her knees was suddenly startled, this was the first time that the young man asked about herself, and the sensitive girl suddenly found that the other party's voice seemed to have become different from just now, and she couldn't say what she felt, but she felt that she was much more stable than just now, raised her head, looked at the young man who suddenly became firm in her eyes, and Zhao Ping, who had a little crimson on her face, said softly:

"It's spring next year. Next year at the latest! ”

"Delay, no matter what, we have to find a way to delay the wedding until next autumn!" Seeing the girl's puzzled gaze, Zhang Jie, who took a deep breath, said softly:

"The township exam will be held in August next year, that is to say, even if I go to participate in next year's autumn exam, even if everything goes well, at least I will be admitted to the examination next autumn, so let me tell you, now I can only have the ability to affect my own family, that is, I can only influence some of my grandfather's judgments, I can use some promising or bold words to ask my grandfather to change the marriage date of my little aunt, but this is also the limit of my ability, although the people in the village are indeed very optimistic about me, but there is still a long way to go to be optimistic and listen to my opinion."

Seeing that the girl seemed to understand or not, Zhang Jie continued:

"If it is me now, I will go to your house and ask your father and mother to postpone your marriage, and your father and mother will definitely not listen, because although I am a showman, I am only a showman, and I have not yet affected the influence of your father and mother to make a major judgment, but next year, I will take the exam and return to my hometown, and wait for the day when I become the master of the people, as long as I propose it, whether your father and mother want it or not, they will come according to my will, this is the difference between show talent and lifting people, this is also the way to change your fate, but I want to ask you one thing, Are you sure you want to be like my little aunt, who is getting married at the age of eighteen? You have to understand, Zhang Xia has my backing, she will marry at the age of twenty-eight, and I can also find her a wishful husband, but what should you do, the township and the countryside are all married at thirteen or fourteen, eighteen-year-old girls, are you sure that someone will want you in the future? ”

I originally thought that if I said this, the girl would hesitate, but I didn't want the girl to laugh suddenly, and the girl with a pair of bright eyes bent into a crescent moon said crisply:

"You don't know, my sister and I have been weak since we were children, and a gust of wind can make the two of us sisters have a fever at the same time, Aunt Hua said that our sisters are haunted by evil spirits, and we have to pay for them in this life. The doctor said that our two sisters are in poor health, and they have to drink medicine all year round, and my sister is because of her weak body, and she has to give birth to a child, and she said that she will die, I am sure that if the family will marry me out next year, once I am pregnant, I will definitely not be able to hold on with the same physique as my sister, so I can marry at the age of eighteen like Sister Xia, even if I can't get married, I can live well, as long as I can live, I always feel that it is better than dying like this. ”

When the girl said this, her face suddenly had a little bitterness, and then she lowered her head and said softly: "I am a ghost who is afraid of death, because I am afraid of being the same as my sister, so I will cry and make trouble and force my mother, and I will be cheeky to come to your house again and again, because I think you are different, even if we get married, as long as I tell you about my physical condition, you will not touch me, so ......!" ”

"I know, remember, whether it's crying, whether it's a hunger strike, on the premise of ensuring my own life, whether it's seeking death or reversing life, in short, we must postpone the wedding until next autumn, we agreed!"

stretched out his hand, then cocked his little thumb, and Zhang Jie, who was looking at the other party with slanted eyes, chuckled: "Hurry! ”

Waiting for the girl to also slowly stretch out her white and tender little hand, and then hooked her little finger with her little finger, Zhang Jie said: "Stamp, the agreement takes effect!" ”

In the girl's crimson gaze, Zhang Jie went back, his steps were firm, and his expression was already unconsciously with a hint of strangeness.

When I got home, I found that the meal was ready, and the family was waiting for me, and after running all morning, I was really hungry, and I was not polite, and when I got to the table, Zhang Jie grabbed a big cake and devoured it.

Now the bread made at home is much larger than before, the cake used to be the size of a child's palm, but now it has to catch up with the size of an adult's palm, and it is no longer as limited as before, and you can basically eat it as much as you like.

The conditions at home are indeed changing, and these can be seen in every aspect of the home.

Swallowing the two cakes into his stomach in three or two bites, Zhang Jie, who was swallowed and only rolled his eyes, picked up the warm porridge and poured a few bites before he could be relieved.

"They are all famous people, how can they eat like mud legs when they eat? Readers have to chew slowly! In the end, the old man couldn't stand it at first, watching Zhang Jie pour the porridge into his stomach in two bites, and the people at the table hadn't moved much yet, but he was already ready to leave the table, so he frowned and said.

"There's no time!" Put the rice bowl on the dining table, touched his mouth, Zhang Jie said in a deep voice: "Counting today, it will only be thirteen months before the autumn test in August next year, and in these thirteen months, the rush time of the past month will be eliminated, that is to say, there is still a year to take the township test, and there are still many things to be memorized. ”

"Are you going to take next year's exams? Doesn't it mean that you are not sure and want to settle down and study for two years? This is strange, putting the chopsticks in his hand on the table, the old man asked with a serious face.

This is a major event about Zhang Jie's future, and it is also a major event for the whole family, Zhang Jie went to the examination, which is different from the third uncle's examination, the third uncle only failed the year before last, this is the fourth time, the old man has not much hope, but this grandson is different, eleven-year-old Xiucai, even if he is admitted next year, he is not yet thirteen years old, Zhang Jie goes to the examination, and the old man is holding the mind of being successful.

"University", "The Mean", "Analects", "Mencius", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn", hundreds of thousands of words, not only to memorize word by word, there are dozens of times of annotations around it, adding up to millions of words, you want to be within a year, these millions of words in your mind, and be able to let the examiner make questions, millions of words flexible use? Are you sure you can do it? ”

The third uncle on the side also put aside the bowl of rice, and asked with a deep face.

"Now it's not a question of whether I can or not, but next year, I must take the autumn exam, and I must be admitted to the exam, how can I go back on the word!"

After wiping his mouth, Zhang Jie turned around and went back to the house.

The old man at the dining table watched in a daze as the young man returned to the room resolutely, and after a while, when he came back to his senses, he said to the old lady on the side:

"Xiaojie didn't eat anything, went to the kitchen to fry two dishes again and sent them to Xiaojie, and Xiaojie likes to eat lean meat, go to the market today, buy some lean meat back, buy more!"

After the old man finished speaking, the old lady hesitated: "On such a hot day, don't you want to spoil the meat if you buy too much?" ”

"Then go diligently, once a day, fresh, as long as lean meat."

When the old man finished speaking, the sound of several children snorting on the table sounded, but they also knew that even if there was meat for a meal, I was afraid that they would not have any share.
