Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Old Man's Deterrence
On the third day, when the sky was dark, Zhang Jie was called up by the Wang family as usual, and the voice of the third uncle was already heard in the courtyard, and he wanted to start the morning reading of the day again.
I didn't stay up late last night, otherwise Zhang Jie knew that he would definitely not be able to hold on, so he went to bed very early, slept beautifully all night, and became a lot more energetic when he got up in the morning, washed his face, picked up the book and ran to the yard, but saw the little sister-in-law dragging the golden egg out of the house.
Obviously, yesterday's three hits had already made the golden egg afraid, and now he didn't want to suffer this crime in the future, and the little sister-in-law with a blue face was dragged and dragged by the golden egg, almost twisting the golden egg, before pulling him to the stone platform.
Before he sat on the stone bench, Jin Dan cried suddenly, and let the little sister-in-law on the side try to coerce and tempt him, the child just cried vigorously, and finally his voice was hoarse.
The third uncle on the side was at ease, even if he didn't ask, he didn't pull down his face to reprimand, thinking that this was to make the little aunt choose to retreat willingly.
Seeing that the sun overhead has risen, the weather is slowly becoming hot, and the morning reading of the day has not yet begun, and finally the little sister-in-law who really has no choice slaps the golden egg and staggers, and then the little sister-in-law who hates her teeth points to the golden egg who cries and howls wolf:
"It's your own choice, you don't regret it later."
When the little sister-in-law asked the golden egg to roll with a tiger face, the little boy who seemed to come to life in an instant ran away even with a rolling belt, and the little aunt who twitched the corners of her mouth beckoned to the silver egg hiding at the door and said: "Silver egg, come here, your brother's bad man is not willing to learn, you go, even if you become a big official in the future, don't care about him, let him follow his father as a mud leg for the rest of his life." ”
Looking at the little sister-in-law with a tiger's face, the young silver egg naturally did not dare to reverse the order, and came to the stone platform slowly.
But before the child sat down, he saw that the third uncle, whose face finally became impatient, waved his hand and said: "What are you messing around, it has been delayed for so long to let the golden egg follow the two words, what is it to let the silver egg follow and mix blindly?" Even if this child is extremely smart, only three or four years old, can the old master accept it? If you are less than five years old, you just say that the sky is broken, and the old master will not look at you more, go back! ”
The third uncle's last sentence was already scolding, and the third uncle was so frightened by the stiff-faced third uncle that a staggering silver egg quickly hid behind the little aunt, and the little body was trembling.
The little sister-in-law's face on the side changed again and again, looking at Zhang Hao and Zhang Jie who were sitting upright on the stone platform, and then looking back at the golden egg hiding in the house and not even daring to make a head, and finally the little sister-in-law who sighed helplessly still honestly led the silver egg back.
The little sister-in-law didn't dare to offend the third uncle, before this, the little sister-in-law had been settling with the third uncle's family, and followed the third aunt's ass almost every day.
Since she has this thought, the little sister-in-law's family is destined to be a head shorter in front of the third uncle's family, she has to listen to what people say, when people are happy, she laughs with them, and when people are unhappy, she can only cry with them, without any idea of her own.
As everyone knows, the third uncle's family is actually raised by the whole family, just like the weather is hot now, and the whole family has to go out to irrigate the fields, and there is a harvest, but the best thing is to play with the third uncle's family with their hands in their pockets.
The parasite-like family grew up by sucking the blood of the entire family, and sometimes he would feel that the blood was stinky and unpleasant, and he would curse at the people who provided the blood to the family.
From beginning to end, this family has not been of substantial help to the whole family, and the whole family is looking forward to the third uncle being able to make a name for himself in the examination room, the best food and the best drink are provided to him, but no one knows that he himself has given up the scientific examination or something early, and now he is putting all his hopes on his baby. Then he thought about continuing to suck the blood of the whole family, not only to provide for him, but also to provide for his children.
The back of the little sister-in-law leaving was a little gloomy. At least Zhang Jie thinks so, but looking at the sneer on the corner of the third uncle's mouth, he knows that maybe in the eyes of the third uncle, the back of the little aunt is ridiculous and ignorant.
I don't know if the shouting of the golden egg worked, or what, anyway, the old man came out after the little sister-in-law returned to the house, and instead of walking around the village with his hands behind his back as he did in the past, he took out his old cigarette pouch, and then squatted by the door, smoking quietly.
looked at the old man who didn't seem to plan to leave, and didn't wait for the third uncle to ask, but listened to the old man: "You take your class, I'll listen here, don't disturb you!" ”
Since the old man spoke, the third uncle had no choice but to obey, what he wanted to teach today was still the three-character scripture, saying that he only learned two paragraphs yesterday, and he had to continue to learn the next two paragraphs today.
"One and ten, twelve hundred, white and thousand, thousands and thousands."
It was still the third uncle who read it in front, Zhang Jie and Zhang Hao read it in the back, and when the third uncle taught it twice, he looked at the old man who seemed to be going to read it all the time, and then began to explain the meaning of this passage to the two children, instead of teaching and recognizing words like yesterday, and then let him write silently.
Obviously, in front of the old man, the third uncle didn't dare to play such a little trick, although the old man was illiterate, but the old man's wisdom should not be underestimated, which the third uncle naturally knew better than anyone else.
When the sun began to shine, the second uncle and the younger uncle, who got up early in the morning to water the fields, came back with a flat pole, which also indicated that they were going to have breakfast.
Naturally, even if the day's morning reading is over, Zhang Jie, who has already been prepared to take a few more boards from the third uncle, is somewhat embarrassed, if it weren't for the old man himself sitting here today, he would have to have three more seals in his hands.
I don't know if the old man noticed something, or if the old man knew something at the beginning but never asked, until today's golden egg incident made the old man decide to do some intervention.
In any case, this is a good thing, at least for Zhang Jie, as long as his grandfather is present, the third uncle is the monkey in the palm of the Buddha's hand, and he can't play any tricks.
The peaceful days passed quietly like this, and Zhang Jie's life gradually entered the norm, reading and writing with the third uncle every day, and looking at the flowers raised by the little aunt in his spare time, but he didn't do anything else.
It wasn't until half a month later that a shrunken little head appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and then whispered there, 'Great Sage, Great Sage' or something, that Zhang Jie's life once again had a ripple.
