Chapter Sixty-Eight: Wang's Ambition
Sitting at the gate of the yard, Wang's with a needle and thread in his hand is sewing new clothes, his children only wear their own sewn clothes, no matter how fancy the new clothes in other tailors' shops, and no matter how ordinary the new clothes they sew, their own children will recognize this, no matter the clothes and shoes, from the day their own boy Mengxue, they are all sewn by Wang's stitches and threads.
From time to time, she looked up in the direction of the county seat and took a few looks, a few years ago, the Wang family was like this, but at that time, she looked at her own father-in-law, and wondered if her father-in-law would give herself a surprise one day, and suddenly ran from the county seat to see herself.
But now it's different, what the current Wang is looking forward to is still the hairy child, oh, you can't call it a hairy child anymore, the single round is already a little more fierce than yourself, and there will be March to be born, and you will be a man in the future.
Glancing at the handsome little girl who was making a toothbrush in the yard, a sense of pride rose from the bottom of her heart, and the attention of making toothbrushes was thought up by her own children, a few years ago, at that time, but the child wearing open crotch pants just casually pointed out a few words to his little aunt, no, originally an ordinary toothbrush, from his little aunt's hand, it was a string of copper coins of gold and expensive things.
These toothbrushes, a few years to bring nearly twenty taels of income to the girl's family, this is a lot of income, originally, the whole family's annual income is only two silver ingots, now, a girl herself earns more than the ordinary family's harvest in a few years. It's a pity, people only recognize Zhang Xia's doing, and others don't do it, otherwise they can follow and make some money to supplement the family.
Yesterday, Aunt Chen next door also came to the door and said that her Xiaojie was a Wenqu star, so she still needs to say it? A few years ago, the Wang family knew that his child was a Wenqu star in the sky, and a few years ago he drew lots with Haozi of his third uncle's family, and God chose the person, can this be fake?
The old man's waist in the family is not paid for by his own children? Thinking of this, Wang's heart was a little uncomfortable, dozens of taels of silver, the old man took twenty taels to see the disease, not to say, the world is big, filial piety is the greatest, to the old man to see the disease, Wang's heart is happy, but his third uncle made a lot of fun, and also took away twenty taels, what to say to visit the teacher, to prepare for the imperial examination in the coming year, this has been a few years old, is the scientific examination still not off the list?
Look at my baby, before he is born, he is about to be admitted to Xiucaigong!
Although he doesn't know the specific results yet, Wang firmly believes in his heart that his Xiaojie will definitely be able to be admitted to Xiucai, and the Wenqu stars from the sky, if they can't pass the exam, then they must be blinded by those invigilators, and their son will definitely have no problem.
The old master released it a few years ago that his son would become a great weapon, and the Wang family has always believed in this.
Zhao Ping of his aunt Chen's family in the next village has often come to the house to play with Zhang Xia during this time, and the Wang family naturally knows what is going on.
Although the Wang family is quite satisfied with Zhao Ping's daughter, Wenwen is quiet, she is pleasing to look at, and she will definitely be filial to her in-laws when she marries in the future, and his Aunt Chen said that as long as she marries her daughter, the dowry will be doubled.
Wang's now about money or something is not as concerned as before, before that was no way, a copper can't wait to break two halves, before his children go to school, even half a copper pocket money was not given to him, now the family conditions are getting better and better, the most important thing is to have expectations, Wang felt in his heart, as long as his son is here, he will be able to eat less in the future?
When I looked up again, I happened to see a figure coming from the direction of the county seat, the sun was so hot that my eyes were a little flowery, and I couldn't see clearly who the figure in the distance was, so I put the needle and thread on the ground, and then rubbed my eyes, and when I looked into the distance, I saw that the person from the direction of the county seat was a woman.
It was indeed not his own Xiaojie who came back, and Wang, who had a hint of disappointment in his heart, sat down again, picked up the needle and thread and continued to sew the clothes.
"Sister-in-law, you see that the toothbrush I made for Xiaojie is not beautiful, it is made of the best pig back hair, and the small wooden stick is also made of cinnamon wood by the second brother, and it is round in the hand, and it is not slippery when it is stained with water!"
Zhang Xia, who came out of the yard, was holding a special toothbrush in her hand, which looked more delicate than ordinary toothbrushes.
Knowing that his children like to use these strange things, after taking the toothbrush, he touched the pig hair on it that was soft and hard, Wang nodded and said: "Well, put it in the basin and soak it, first remove the smell on it, it is best to add some sesame oil to the water, Xiaojie is a reading father-in-law, if you use a toothbrush when you are reading, your mouth is full of pig smell, and you will lose face and be small, but don't ruin Xiaojie's reputation!" ”
"Alas, I'm going to soak it up, there's still some sesame oil in the kitchen, it's not enough for me to buy, and the toothbrush must be fragrant." The girl snapped in response, then turned and went to the kitchen.
For Xiaojie's little aunt, Wang knows that the two are of the same age, and they like to be tired of muttering together when they are two children, since their own children like to be tired of being with his little aunt, and love the house and Wu, Wang is also very happy to see Zhang Xia, watching the little girl who has grown into an adult go to work, Wang can't help but think of his children's tongue for his little aunt's marriage expenses.
Last year, there were several families who came to the door to propose, Zhang Xia was originally good-looking, I dare not say that it is the best one in ten miles and eight villages, but in several nearby villages, Zhang Xia is also a big girl who can be counted, the old lady likes a child in Xiaoli Village, the family is rich, three brothers, two brothers have become relatives, the younger one is one year older than Zhang Xia, and he looks very thoughtful, mainly because he is also very responsible, and he has studied in the school for two years. There are many girls in nearby villages who like that kid.
Of course, now his family is not the poor family he used to be, although he is not a rich family, but his third uncle is Xiucai, and his Xiaojie is young and will soon be admitted to Xiucai, not to mention ten miles and eight villages, even the entire county, and he can't find such a scholarly family like his family.
Well, the Wang family just thinks that their family is a scholarly family, and since the day they beat their own little Jiemeng school, the Wang family thinks so, the most prestigious old master in the village is only the old master himself is a showman, and the old master's sons are all crop households.
It's no wonder that people will take a fancy to Zhang Xia and marry Zhang Xia, which can be regarded as being related to their own family, and when their son is rich, won't they follow the chicken dog to heaven?
However, a kind of marriage that the family likes, the boy of his own family is unwilling, for Zhang Xia's marriage, the child rarely lost his temper, a bowl was broken, and I don't know what the child and the old man talked about in the house for a long time, in short, the next day, the old man personally came to the door to reject Zhang Xia's marriage, saying that the child is still young and waiting for two years.
The thirteen-year-old girl's house, still young? Aren't all girls like this going to get a baby.
Zhang Xia will be fourteen this year, and she will be fifteen in a few days, but whatever it is, his own children say that his little aunt is still young, that is, she is still young, what Wen Quxing said, can she be wrong? His little aunt remarried at the age of eighteen, as long as there is his own Xiaojie watching, who can say nothing?
"There are still three months to go home, and I will return home when Xiaojie is admitted to the show, and I will be able to take the exam to raise people, and my life will be considered complete!"
From time to time, Wang, who looked up and glanced at the path in the distance, muttered softly while sewing needles and threads.
