Chapter 31: Can't I Change It?
Thinking that he had completed the task, Xu Hui, who was lying on the crack of the door to watch the excitement like no one else, was carried back to the desk by Zhou Botao: "In the afternoon, write the poems that I have memorized in the past few days, write each poem ten times, and you are not allowed to eat dinner until you finish writing!" ”
"Isn't it! Uncle I've memorized five poems in the past few days, and according to your requirements, that's fifty times! Such an assignment...... Isn't that a bit much? There are many traditional characters in those poems, Xu Hui wants to talk about the conditions, and hopes that the little uncle will reduce the punishment some.
Zhou Botao glanced down at her, only in this way will you extinguish your gossip heart, and you don't have to worry about exchanging your little uncle for elbows.
"Little uncle, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, look at this punishment......"
"This is the normal homework assigned, not a punishment at all, don't make a mistake, okay! I've always had a clear distinction between public and private, and I won't punish others casually. Zhou Botao tapped the table with his fingers, picked up a book and ignored people, Xu Hui slandered the unscrupulous uncle for pretending to be public and private, and at the same time resigned himself to the table and picked up the pen......
The Ruyi girl put down the basket, picked up the skirt and ran away, but Zhou Tong couldn't chase after the door and threw the basket out.
After all, the Zhou family still has to live in Yunxia Village, and it is not a wise move to have a stalemate with the village chief's family.
There were fresh fish left in the kitchen, and Zhou Tong's filled most of the buckets, and picked up crucian carp with more than a pound of heavy stomachs: "Old man, you and I should go to Dou's house!" ”
"Milk these loaves...... Can you eat it? Zhou Xingyi asked while swallowing his saliva.
"One person will get one, and our old couple and your uncle won't eat it!" Looking at these cakes, I feel worried, where is this cake is simply a hot potato!
"Mother, if I don't take Dongshu with me, don't get angry, I'll make it clear." Sun Xiang took the wooden basin in her mother-in-law's hand, Zhou Dongshu took out the cake and put it on the basket, and the mother and daughter went out together.
Chen Guihua and Zhou Xingyi are not a mother and son, they reached out to take the oil cake together, and Zhou Bosong took the cake away and glared at the two of them.
"I ate dumplings at noon, and I still eat oil cakes, you are not afraid to hold on, mother, you put away the cakes and eat them tomorrow." Sister-in-law is right, who in Yunxia Village doesn't know that Bo Tao is about to participate in the exam, and he will go to the capital in the future! How is it possible to find a daughter-in-law in the country?
The village chief's family also has to be reasonable, Bo Tao doesn't like it, can they still rob their relatives, how can the fish we send catch up with this basket of oil cakes is worth it, and they don't lose money! Zhou Bosong comforted the old lady.
I'm afraid that the Dou family doesn't think so! Zhou Tong's family doesn't look down on Dou Ruyi, his son is good at learning, even if he can't get into the top three in the future, how can he get into a jinshi, looking at his appearance, he has no intention of returning to Yunxia Village to take root, and he has no idea of marrying a daughter-in-law in his hometown. The village and the county town have taken a fancy to their sons, and there are not a few people who come to explore the wind, and there are many people who are better than the Dou family, and the younger son has no intention of letting go, and it is not easy to be a father and mother.
Sun Xiang took Zhou Dongshu and carried the bucket straight to Dou's house, met people who liked gossip on the way, and asked Dou Ruyi if he just went to Zhou's house with a basket, and they sent a gift back, whether the Zhou family and the Dou family were going to have a happy event!
"Her aunt, why are you talking nonsense, don't ruin the reputation of Miss Ruyi and my uncle here, you can't gossip, and you can't say yes!" In terms of lip service, there are really few people in Yunxia Village who can compare to Sun Xiang, the mother and daughter sped up, and went to Dou's house twice to tap the door and strode in.
"Hey, isn't this Bo Tao's sister-in-law Sun Xiang? Dongshu is getting more and more handsome, you are rare guests, sit in the house quickly. Gu Shujuan, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, greeted the two warmly, and when she saw the fish in the bucket, her heart was half cold, and the Zhou family really didn't take a fancy to their daughter, and if they were interested, they wouldn't have yelled in return.
"Sister-in-law of the Dou family, thank you for knowing that our family came to Jiaoke, let Ruyi send so many oil cakes over, my mother-in-law has always praised you at home for being the most sensible person in our Yunxia Village, and praised Ruyi for being the most sensible!
These crucian carp are not a valuable thing, you can also try it, this is your basket, so I won't disturb you to rest, and we will talk again when the work in the field is finished! Sun Xiang asked her daughter to pour the fish into the wooden barrel in the courtyard of the Dou family, if she left the wooden barrel, that Dou Ruyi might take advantage of this to walk around her own house again.
"This fish is so fresh, thank you mother-in-law on my behalf!" Gu Shujuan's expression was obviously a little stiff, any pampered child would feel uncomfortable if he was disliked!
Seeing Sun Xiang's mother and daughter leave, Gu Shujuan turned around and saw the tearful Dou Ruyi standing at the door, Gu Shujuan sighed and said, "Girl, don't worry about that Zhou Botao, that's not someone we can worry about." ”
Although Sun Xiang didn't directly refuse, Gu Shujuan understood the meaning of her words, Sun Xiang opened her mouth to call her sister-in-law, then Ruyi was a generation shorter than Zhou Botao, and the meaning of the Zhou family was already very clear, and the two of them were not suitable.
The Zhou family took these crucian carp as a return gift, hoping that today's matter will be clear, and no one will mention it in the future.
"Mother, I just like Zhou Botao, I like him since I was a child, I won't marry anyone in my life except him!"
The youngest son of the Zhou family is not only good-looking, but also better educated, a few days ago her husband came back from the county and said that Zhou Botao was admitted to the show last time with the first place in Fengshan County, and his ranking can be ranked in the top ten in Fucheng, not to mention the champion in the future, at least he can get a petty official to be a pawn, and he can find an errand in the county government at the worst, if he has such a son in his family, he will not ask for a daughter-in-law in the countryside.
Gu Shujuan persuaded for a long afternoon, Dou Ruyi was determined to marry Zhou Botao, and she couldn't listen to Gu Shujuan's words at all.
"Where did you get the crucian carp at home?" Dou Qinghua went to the county seat to run errands, and when he came back, he saw the crucian carp in the barrel and asked.
"You're back, go and persuade your precious girl! I persuaded all afternoon, her throat was smoking, and she still didn't get oil and salt, but I was so worried! "Gu Shujuan is out of line.
After listening to his daughter-in-law's story, Dou Qinghua shook his head: "Ruyi, you and that Zhou Botao are really not suitable." ”
"What's wrong, he's from Yunxia Village, and so am I, mother, go to Zhou's house to inquire, see what kind of little girl Zhou Botao likes, can't I change it?"
"You know what? A master who taught Zhou Botao was an official before, and some time ago he lived in the master's house in Fucheng to review his homework, can his grades be bad? Tell me that he will definitely be able to solve the yuan this autumn, and he is expected to enter Beijing next spring to participate in the spring festival, and if he is lucky, he will pass the palace examination......
Don't think about those who don't have it, and don't hold a grudge against the Zhou family because of this matter, maybe we will have to ask for someone else in the future! Our Yunxia Village is counting on Zhou Botao to be famous, you are not allowed to make enemies with the Zhou family and make trouble! Dou Qinghua warned his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law.
