Lin Zhun and Zhang Ruoxu glanced at each other, as if they agreed, and at the same time knelt down to their own mother, Aunt Chunhua was startled, and she wanted to stretch out her palm to help Lin Zhun, so she blocked Li Ailian on the side, and persuaded: "The child is filial, so don't shirk." ”

Aunt Chunhua looked at Gao Jian Junxiu's boy kowtowed, quietly wiped her tears, and nodded: "Good boy, you two are all good children!" ”

When the two of them stood up after snorting, Li Ailian pulled Jia Shi to Qian and said solemnly: "Qian'er, you can be an old and talented, and your aunt will also have a share of this credit, if there is no water tofu shop for your aunt, your mother and your little sister will not have money for you to study in the town." Come, give your aunt one too. ”

Zhang Ruoxu immediately bowed deeply to the Jia family, and was about to open his robe and kneel, and Aunt Chunhua next to him said: "Slow, Da Zhun, Da Yin, you also kowtow to your aunt." Yuxiu's mother is right, if you don't have Aunt Li's shop, which gives your father and mother a way to earn money, you and Dayin can't afford to go to school, let alone eat all three meals a day here, Sister Qiu still changes the law to make delicious food for you, this head, you should eat! ”

As soon as Aunt Chunhua's voice fell, the two brothers knelt down in front of Jia Shi with Zhang Ruoxu, respectfully snorted Jia's head, and made a loud crashing sound on the stone floor.

"Eh, eh, no! Get busy! Jia Shi hurriedly helped the servant up, and his eyes were red, "Where did I get your courtesy, eh, I can't do it." ”

Lin Zhun laughed softly and said: "Auntie, no one is more worthy of our gift than you, if it weren't for the shop you opened with Sister Qiu, where did we get the opportunity to study in the town?" ”

If it weren't for the wages provided by Jia's to Aunt Chunhua and Lin Qu, Sister Qiu also taught her mother to make Dashui tofu, Lin Zhun is still working with Dayin as a rural person in Xiaohe Town, cutting pigs and grazing in the morning and working in the field in the afternoon, just like his parents and grandparents, living the days of sunrise and sunset, it is impossible to study in the town, and the middle-aged Xiucai doesn't even dare to think about it.

Even Zhang Ruoxu, who is in a better condition at home, can only read and write in a small private school in the countryside, and cannot come to the college in the town, and the middle-aged and old talents are far away.

Therefore, this prostration is well-deserved. In fact, Lin Zhun wants to thank Sister Qiu even more, without Sister Qiu, he doesn't have everything he has now, it's just that Sister Qiu is the same generation as them, and he will still be his daughter-in-law in the future. He has long regarded Sister Qiu as an irreplaceable person in his heart, he is not only a deep relative, but also a lover who has been with him for a lifetime, this respect is buried in his heart, it doesn't matter if he kowtows or not.

"Mr. Long, have you been there?" Sister Qiu asked with a smile, "He's the hero!" ”

Since the beginning of this year, Mr. Long has begun to guide Lin Zhun to write articles with Zhang Ruoxu, not only with physical guidance, but also from his former friends who have obtained the county order from previous years

Test questions, analyze the preferences of this county order, guess a lot of questions and ask them to practice deliberately, otherwise with the background of Lin Zhun who has only read books for a few years, how can he miraculously stand out among many students and win the old show?

"Thank you, go to Mr. Long and Mrs. Long to thank first." Lin Zhun said with a smile.

Jia Shi nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Long is the great benefactor of the two of you!" Tonight, all of them will come to my house, please Mr. and Mrs. Long, let's celebrate Dazhun and Ruoxu! Mr. Long and Mrs. Long are good people, both of them are a belly of knowledge, and we are all big and rough if we don't hate it, so it is a blessing for these two children to help Dazhun and Ruoxu! ”

There is another sentence, it is a small abacus in Jia's heart, Jia's hidden in her heart and didn't say it, she still wants to please Mr. Long and Mrs. Long, and guide Xiaoxu in the future! At tonight's reception banquet, Li Ailian and Aunt Chunhua said that they didn't want Jia's to spend anything, and they should have invited the two of them to this meal. Jia had no choice but to smile and respond, so the two women who were full of spring breeze and couldn't close their smiling mouths went to the market to buy chicken, duck and river fish, and the other went back to Xiaohe Town's home to pick the vegetables in the field and send them in two big baskets.

Meiqu slipped into the house by night when it was dark outside, so that he didn't want to touch the villagers in the village.

Who would have thought that when he entered the door, he happened to touch Mei Yindi with Aunt Mei's footbath and came out to pour water, and saw a black shadow jumping in, she screamed in fright, and a basin of dirty water for washing her feet was buckled onto her footboard.

"Don't scream!" Mei Qu was panicked in her heart, and when she heard her nephew's scream as if she was killing a grass pig, she was even more angry, and she added softly in a bad voice, "It's me." ”

Mei Yindi heard Mei Qu's voice, so she breathed a sigh of relief, crooked her mouth dissatisfiedly, and shouted to the West House behind her, "Mother, uncle is back!" ”

Mei Qu just wanted to block Mei Yindi, it was already late, Aunt Mei and Second Uncle Mei had already opened the curtain and came out, leaning against the door frame with her hands, Mei Tang said with a sarcastic smile: "Eh, the old show is back!" Why hasn't the person who reported the good news yet, so you came back first? ”

"Father, mother, our family's eldest show has just returned! Your second elder hurriedly came out and took a look! Aunt Mei's call was even more exaggerated.

Even the big cow and the second cow all learned from their parents, and looked at Meiqu with ridicule, and even made Meiqu lose face.

Mei Qu was angry and hateful, his face was red, and he didn't know where his arms and legs should go, he was really embarrassed, and he couldn't tell whether he should hate the second family who ridiculed him, or he should hate the increasingly useless Lin Zhun next door who was admitted to the old Xiucai.

Mao and Mei Laosuo are old and go to bed early, so they are busy listening to the sound. Listening to Aunt Mei's squeezing her own son like that, Mao's tiger opened the curtain of the hall with a tiger face, and said unceremoniously: "What is it called?" The wild cats are not as loud as you! Go back to the house and sleep with you! Take all the children into the house, and the noise in the middle of the night doesn't look like it!

”

Aunt Mei pursed her lips, beckoned Da Niu and Yindi a few children into the house, and deliberately shouted to Mao's when she put down the curtain: "Mother, the old man is also back, this family should be divided!" ”

"Divide your own mother's legs!" Mao scolded angrily and dragged Mei Qu into the house.

Mei Laosuo had already lit an oil lamp in the house, and looking at the boy's slightly emaciated face, Mei Laosu didn't know what to say.

Mao pulled Mei Qu to sit down, touched Mei Qu's face with a heartache, and said: "I'm thinner, I'm thinner than when I left!" ”

Mei Qu didn't say a word, I really didn't know what to say, I lowered my eyelids and looked at the beating dim oil lamp, the servants were silent for a long time, Mao finally made up his mind, and said: "Third son, you go back to the house to rest first, I'll boil water for you, we can't pass the exam now, and there will be another year." Your father and mother still provide you with education, and you are not stupid, but you lack an opportunity, and sooner or later you will not be able to run away from an old showman. ”

Seeing Mao's expression, Mei Laosu also hurriedly said: "Yes, listen to your mother, don't think too much, and don't listen to your second brother and sister-in-law's nonsense, none of the words in the mouths of those two can be heard." Studying your books carefully and preparing for the next year's exams is your main business. ”

Mei Qu felt so much pressure in front of her parents for the first time, and seeing that Mao and Mei Laosu didn't have a word of blame, Mei Quba hurriedly went back to the house, hurriedly stood up and said, "Eh, I'll go back first, I haven't slept well for a few days." After speaking, he fled back to his own Westinghouse.

The next morning, Mei Qu slept on the kang full, and as soon as she went out, she listened to Aunt Mei in the courtyard and said with a smile: "Eh, the old Xiucai is on the kang?" Smack, in the end, it's a blessing for scholars, all of our buns have gotten up to do most of the day's work, and the old Xiucai has just gotten up! ”

Because Mei Qu is back, the second Aunt Mei began to toss with Mao's early in the morning, only saying that she was not comfortable, she was tired from doing work yesterday, and she couldn't go down to the ground today.

When a few people came to the ground, Mei Qu was still sleeping, and Mao couldn't help it, so he put the small rice stove that Mei Qu had secretly made for him in the hall, and waited for Mei Qu to eat after he got up.

Mei Qujue's own life was miserable, and Mei's second aunt called him either an old Xiucai duke, or a champion of Jinke, a sneering Arhat Kang was confused, and he talked about things with Lin Zhun next door and Zhang Ruoxu in the town at every turn. Although Aunt Mei also hates Lin Zhun very much, she doesn't even have a good impression of Zhang Ruoxu, who she has never met before, and she doesn't expect Lin Zhun to be an old talent. But the question is precisely that Lin Zhun has won all of them like this, why haven't you won Meiqu? Why do you still receive the offerings of your family? When even Erniu got up early and went to the ground, how could you, a young and strong man, be embarrassed to sleep until the sun burns?

All I heard at home was Aunt Mei's sharp ridicule, and Mei Qu couldn't sit still, she opened her own book, and was irritable before she turned two pages

Thrown aside, don't mention it if you want to go out for a walk, everyone knows that Lin Zhun passed the exam but he didn't pass the test, but he didn't want to go out and compare it with Lin Zhun's kid.

How could he have passed the test! Mei Qu was lying on the kang irritably, but the stinky boy who had only been in the town for more than a year was afraid that he couldn't even recognize all the words, so why did he get hit?
