Chapter 40: Good Boy
Before Mrs. Zeng entered the courtyard, she excitedly called the names of her son and daughter, and the voice was very affectionate! Hearing this, the neighbors around couldn't help but shake their heads.
"Dongsheng, Chunmei, mother's children, mother is finally looking forward to your return!"
As soon as the brother and sister entered the house and were packing their luggage, they heard the voice of their mother's call, and helplessly put down the things in their hands and walked out of their own rooms.
"Mother, Mei'er misses you."
Yang Chunmei looked strangely well-behaved and quiet, in the eyes of Mrs. Zeng, it hurt in her heart!
Mrs. Zeng stepped forward to hold her daughter's hand, couldn't stop looking up and down, and went to pull Yang Dongsheng's hand again, so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Oh, why are you both losing weight? This trip to the county seat will make you hard! Hey, it's all because of Yang Qingyan's dead hooves, if she hadn't run away from marriage, she wouldn't have forced my Mei'er to go to that county to suffer! ”
"Okay, what are you talking about? The children are also working the road, so why don't they kill a chicken quickly and make up for the children with a pot of soup, but it is useless. ”
Then the old man Yang, who had just come in, said while snorting his cigarette stick.
Although the tone of Mrs. Zeng was also harsh, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes when she looked at her two children.
"Fourth, are you sure of the township test this time?"
Old man Yang is most concerned about this matter, if his son can compete and give himself a show in one breath before coming back, then he can be regarded as able to raise his eyebrows in this Yangjia Village for a while!
"Dad, don't worry, there should be no problem."
After the words fell, Yang Dongsheng looked at the courtyard, and he couldn't help frowning when he didn't see the people in the second room.
"Dad, why haven't you seen the second sister-in-law and their family?"
Yang Dongsheng was just curious, his second sister-in-law's family should be cooking lunch in the kitchen at this time, why did his father let his mother go?
"The first two are separated out of the single, so it's okay, living together all day long, it's also a lot of trouble, if my son is admitted to Xiucai this time, the reputation is even more important, and it will save trouble."
Yang Chunmei and Yang Dongsheng, the brother and sister on the side, glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise.
However, Old Man Yang told him what happened during this time. Mrs. Zeng, who supervised Feng's catching chickens and came back, happened to hear her old man talking about the second room, and she immediately became angry.
"Humph! I told you two brothers and sisters, you must fight for your mother, Chunmei and wait for your fourth brother to be admitted to Xiucai, let's let the matchmaker tell you a good family affair, and the family slut in the second room will be coveted to death! ”
"Mother!"
When Yang Chunmei saw her mother, she didn't shy away from talking about her family affairs in front of so many people, and she climbed up with a touch of shame on her face, and she called her mother coquettishly!
"Oh, my good daughter, what's there to be shy about! Mother told you, Yang Qingyan's little cheap hooves don't know if they did something unseemly, and they bought an oxcart early this morning and came back.
It was cotton and fine muslin in ox carts, and many of the people in the village saw it!
How can you be worse than them! Mother must find you a big family, marry in and be a young grandmother, let the sluts of the second room family be jealous! “
"Mother, what did you say? How could their family have the money to buy that ox cart in the second room? ”
Yang Dongsheng on the side didn't listen to the rest of the words, but Mrs. Zeng's words entered his heart, and his heart suddenly opened up.
Seeing that her son was puzzled, Mrs. Zeng was even more energetic!
"No, I've heard that big white rice is a big bag, think about how much silver it costs! I don't know where those sluts got their money! Besides, Yang Qingyi's leg, I have inquired, and if it is to be cured, it will cost more than a dozen taels. Otherwise, we won't have to give up that cash cow! ”
When the brother and sister heard their mother's words, they immediately showed stunned expressions on their faces.
The family in the second room is incompetent, and it will only cost one or two silvers to divide it, and it is not enough to treat Yang Qingyi's legs for medical treatment, where does the surplus money come from?
"Mother, it's better to let the eldest brother go to their window in the middle of the night to listen and see where their family's money comes from."
Yang Chunmei's eyes rolled, and she said to her mother.
After being reminded by her daughter, Mrs. Zeng suddenly reacted, slapped her thigh and called her eldest son to her side.
"Da Lang, you heard what your sister just said, you will go tonight!"
Yang Dalang didn't say a word, and immediately nodded in agreement!
For an afternoon, Lin Shen was in Yang Qingyi's house, teaching the two brothers of the Yang family to read and write.
Yang Qingyi has some foundation, and he knows almost all the words, but Yang Qingyang is still in contact with it for the first time, and it is much slower to teach.
"Brother Qingyi, I think you have a good foundation, and after you retire, you can go to a private school, and your understanding is also quite high, it's a pity not to take the imperial examination."
Taking the road of the imperial examination, Yang Qingyi never dreamed of it.
Listening to Lin Shen's suggestion, his mind seemed to open suddenly!
It seems that he also knows the path of his life, how to go on.
Right! He wants to take the imperial examination, he wants to earn back a reputation for his relatives, he wants to be an official, he wants to protect his family, and he wants to let his family have no worries about food and clothing.
Things that he once couldn't think of were like a flood at this time, spreading in Yang Qingyi's mind, making his blood boil.
"It's not easy to take the road of official career, you are now fifteen years old, and if you start studying now, you have to work harder than ordinary people."
Seeing the light in Yang Qingyi's eyes, Lin Shen knew his thoughts, and reminded him again.
"Thank you, Brother Lin, I will work hard."
Now this family is still supported by his own little sister, he can't let them work so hard for a lifetime, even if he suffers more, he can bear it.
After dinner, Yang Qingyan took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wanted to let his younger brother Yang Qingyang teach him to read and write, who knew that Yang Qingyang looked embarrassed.
"Eldest sister, I only learned five words today, eldest brother knows a lot of words, why don't you let eldest brother teach you? Besides, my words are not visible at all. ”
Well, Yang Qingyan was also too anxious, and he pinned his hopes on Yangyang, the little guy.
But when I think of my eldest brother's leg injury, I have to rest. It seems a little bad to bother him at this time?
When he was hesitating, Lin Shen, who had not left, spoke.
"Anyway, I can't sleep when I go back alone, it's better to stay a little longer, see that you are not a stupid person, it should be no problem to learn five or six words a night."
Yang Qingyan wanted to refuse, but she was too curious about the medical skills her mother-in-law gave her, so she had to nod and let Lin Shen stay.
The two of them lit the oil lamp, and in the hall, began to study.
"Your posture of holding the pen is wrong, how can you be stupider than Yangyang, Yangyang watched me demonstrate once, and he learned it, when he came to you, why did he waste so much saliva on me?"
Lin Shen looked at Yang Qingyan's cleaning up of the pen, and reluctantly corrected it again.
As soon as his words fell, Yang Qingyan suddenly became angry!
"Can you speak human words? Let you teach your aunt and grandmother to give you face, can you be patient? Dare to say that I'm stupid, you're fat, aren't you? ”
Zhang Yueniang in the back room heard her daughter's rude words, and couldn't help but walk out.
"Yan'er, what is your attitude towards Lin Gongzi? You give me a politeness, Lin Gongzi kindly taught you, you still don't know how to respect others, do you have such a student? ”
Student?
Hehe, Yang Qingyan really wants to refute! What she hates the most is the identity of a student!
Besides, be polite to Lin Shen?
It's almost the same if he has a sick brain, and this Lin Shen doesn't know what bad water he is pretending to be in his head! Otherwise, how could he do everything possible to follow him home.
Yang Qingyan thought so in her heart, but in the face of her own mother in this life, she hurt her for her sake, and she couldn't do anything with her, right?
In an instant, Yang Qingyan changed his face, had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, stood up, and bowed to Lin Shenyi.
"Teacher, the student is wrong, please forgive me!"
Zhang Yueniang saw her daughter's funny appearance, which was funny and angry.
"You are an ancient spirit, okay, study hard, if my mother hears you being so unkind to Lin Gongzi in the back room, Hugh Weiniang will also be unkind to you."
The corners of Yang Qingyan's mouth tugged, so he had to nod obediently.
Zhang Yueniang turned around and entered the house, Yang Qingyan made a grimace at Lin Shen, which made Lin Shen cry and laugh!
"The good apprentice will eat the ramen you made tomorrow morning."
Lin Shen approached Yang Qingyan and whispered, Yang Qingyan raised his head violently, and glared at Lin Shen's handsome handsome handsome man.
gritted his teeth with a face, and warned in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't try to take advantage of my wife, take back your obedient sentence immediately, or poison your ramen tomorrow morning!" ”
Who knows, Yang Qingyan's warning did not move Lin Shen, he still smiled evilly, and his deep eyes looked at Yang Qingyan with a smile: "Is it possible for a good disciple to poison a teacher?" Who will teach you after that? ”
Yang Qingyan was speechless! This man can't get in yet!
It seems that the medicinal powder that my mother-in-law gave herself is also time to put it to use. Thinking of this, the corners of Yang Qingyan's mouth couldn't help but rise.
Yang Dalang and his wife under the window at the back of the house were already squatting under the wall and their feet were numb, and they didn't even hear anything useful.
It's just that when Lin Shen walked out of Yang Qingyan's house, their eyes were straight!
"Hehe, my mother is right! Sure enough, it's a slut in the family! It's dark this day, and there is still a foreign man at home! ”
Feng Shi looked at the back that disappeared into the night, and his face was full of surprise!
Ming'er, she wants the whole village to see how cheap Zhang Yueniang and her little cheap hooves are!
Hmph, Yang Qingyan, you are a slut, tomorrow I want your whole family to be discredited, so that none of you can get married!
