"Oh, you don't know, now the people in the village envy you so much!"

When Zhao on the kang heard this, he smiled reluctantly, but he couldn't see much joy on his face.

But I muttered in my heart...... Jiro took the first place in the exam? How could he get the first place in the exam? Shouldn't the first be her four-son?

By the way, the fourth, why haven't you heard anyone mention the fourth?

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly sudden, her face showed a trace of nervousness, and she grabbed the arm of the woman opposite: "Where is the fourth child in my family?" Why didn't the two mention him? ”

"What's wrong with the fourth? Nothing happened to him, did he? Did he pass the test? "A series of questions, asked quickly and urgently.

Asked the elderly woman on the other side, and after a few breaths, he patted his thigh and replied: "Oh, I really didn't think about this, and those two didn't mention it?" ”

"But old sister, don't worry, I listen to the meaning of those two people's words, Erlang should be back in a few days, maybe your fourth child will follow!"

After saying these two sentences, she glanced sideways in the direction of the house, and said with a look of freshness to remember, "Why is this the hour?" Old sister, I still have something to do at home, so I won't tell you about it yet. ”

The words fell, and without waiting for Zhao's answer, he got off the kang and raised his legs and walked outside the house.

Zhao's face on the kang was gloomy, looking at her back, and he didn't say anything about sending her to her.

The woman didn't mention it until she walked out of the courtyard gate, and then she turned around and looked behind her, and muttered, "What a fool!" ”

"Those who are angry, those who are filial do not look at them, and they are all those who have no conscience, and what about the fourth? I don't think he'll run away with anyone for a long time, so just wait, you can't wait for him when he dies! ”

After speaking, the anger in his heart eased a little, and he walked away with his legs raised.

..............

Near noon on the second day, a dusty carriage appeared outside Peach Blossom Village, and came to the door of the new house without stopping.

Ye Ming, who was wearing a blue shirt, got out of the car and turned to look at the blue brick house in front of him, with a smile on his face uncontrollably.

Holding the gift he had prepared for his family, he strode inside.

In the inner courtyard, since the person who reported the good news yesterday came, whether it was Ye Zhengming or Xing, when doing things, he would always be distracted from time to time, and he could feel at ease by looking outside the courtyard.

At this time, Xing was cooking in the stove room, and he didn't hear the sound of horses' hooves at the door, but Ye Zhengming, who had been paying attention to the movement outside in the main house, heard it.

He walked out of the house with great speed, his face full of excitement, as he walked out.

He shouted at his wife: "Son, I heard the sound of horses' hooves, it must be Erlang who is back, it must be!" ”

"Jiro is back? Hurry up, let's go and greet us! "As soon as the Xing family in the stove room heard this, where could they care about anything else?

I didn't care about the meal, so I put on my apron and raised my legs and walked quickly outside the house.

In the west wing, Ye Hao heard the sound one step ahead, walked out of the door and saw the looks of her parents, smiled and didn't say anything, and followed behind them.

The family, except for the younger brother who was in the school and had not yet returned, all walked out, and as soon as they passed through the arch of the hanging flowers, they saw Ye Ming's figure.

Xing's heart was excited, and he walked fast under his feet, obviously not as long as her husband's legs, but she walked in front of him and came to her son first.

"Erlang, are you back? Let my mother take a good look! ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept up and down over his son, his face was full of distress, and he kept saying, "I've lost weight, I've lost a lot of weight!" Jiro suffered, Jiro really suffered! ”

Ye Ming showed a big smile on his face: "Mother, I want you to make food!" ”

When Xing heard this, he replied repeatedly: "Hey, hey, I guess you should come back today, I just killed a chicken in the morning and is stewing, but I have to make up for it!" ”

Ye Zhen on the side interjected with a smile: "Mother, my brother must be tired all the way back, let's go into the house and talk about it, shall we?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's how it should be, let's go into the house!" Xing held his son's arm and didn't let go, and several people quickly returned to the main house.

After sitting down, Ye Zhengming immediately asked his son: "Erlang, someone came to report to us yesterday, saying that you were admitted to Xiucai, or the first place?" ”

His eyes were staring at him unblinking, obviously expecting this answer.

Ye Ming didn't disappoint his father, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded: "Well, that's true, I originally wanted to surprise my father and mother, which one is so well-informed that he actually said this in advance?" ”

was affirmed, not only Ye Zhengming was happy, but even Xing was very happy.

Holding his arm, he couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, good! Erlang is really good, he passed the exam the first time, and my mother thought that you had a long experience in the past this time! ”

"Mother, this is what I bought for you in Fucheng!" Ye Ming seemed to be praised and blushed a little, his eyes turned, and he pointed to the things on the table and changed the topic.

The attention of the Xing family was immediately diverted, Ye Hao was puzzled before, hearing him mention this.

opened his mouth and asked, "Brother, there are so many things, I'm afraid the silver my mother gave you is not enough, right?" ”

Hearing this, Ye Ming took out the remaining dozens of taels of silver tickets from his arms, and said with a smile: "It's not enough, these are my ......."

briefly explained the bet between him and his friends, and finally didn't wait for his mother to say anything, he took the first step and said: "Mother, father, don't worry, just this time, you won't enter the gambling house again in the future!" ”

Xing Shi relieved his heart and nodded: "It's good that you know, that's not a good place!" How many families have died because of its broken family. ”

After a few people talked for a while, Xing suddenly remembered something and stood up from the stool.

As he walked out, he said quickly: "Oh, there is still chicken stewed on the stove, Erlang, you go to the house to rest for a while, and the meal will be ready in a while!" ”

Ye Ming didn't refute this, and rushed all the way home, he was indeed tired.

Although you can stay in the inn every night, how can you sleep at home outside? When I got home at this time, my spirit relaxed, and the fatigue that I had accumulated before gradually came up.

After talking to his father and going back to the house, Ye Hao, who was one step ahead, was already busy making well water for his brother and carrying it up in his house.

After a rough scrubbing, Ye Ming lay on the kang with a satisfied smile on his face, and fell asleep in an instant.

After resting for more than half an hour, he was woken up by his sister, quickly changed into clothes, and came to the main house again, and the family had a lively lunch.

Ye Ming talked to his younger brother for a while, and suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to Xing and Ye Zhengming: "Mother, father, I met the fourth uncle in Fucheng!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent......
