Is it a gift for the county grandfather? Or is it really shit luck? Mei Qu couldn't figure it out, there was a wisp of anger in his heart, and he didn't know where to go, under the sadness, he only felt that he was like those young masters in the book, the tiger fell in Pingyang to the dogs, and even the village wild women like Aunt Mei dared to speak sarcastically, and when he was flying bright, look at how he picked up these Xu people! Mei Qu pondered hatefully.

However, before Mei Qu could soar, he couldn't bear it. It didn't take long for the busy autumn harvest to end, because Meiqu didn't go to the college to study, so the current year's food didn't have to be sold, the family could finally eat a few bites of a full meal, and Mei's second aunt's face was difficult to clear for a few days, and she didn't sneer at Meiqu.

It's just that Mei Qu can't hold on to herself, one of the reasons is that Lin Zhun is back, and the new and old Xiucai live next door to him, and Cheng Ri's family goes to Jiang's house to congratulate him, and there are many people who want to talk to Lao Xiucai. How lively Lin Zhun is, how miserable and short-lived he is.

"What's the big deal!" Mei Qu was angry, "He is just forty-eight, the Zhuang people just don't know it, can this old show be like the old show?" ”

Aunt Mei was stunned, and said crookedly: "We are all coarse people who can't read and write, we don't know what the difference is between the old Xiucai and the old Xiucai, we know the difference between the people who are in the old Xiucai and the people who don't pass the old Xiucai!" ”

The second reason is that Mei Qu doesn't want to study anymore, he is now annoyed when he picks up books, he used to read and review books honestly at home, because of Sister Qiu's incident as a handle, he was frightened and frightened, only nested at home, and also wanted to lie dormant for two days and then soar through the exam to impress everyone, so regret that this time he didn't hit again, and completely hit him.

Originally, Meiqu was not a person who loved to learn, he had always studied in the college, he wanted to live in the town, accept the supply of his family, some eat and some wear some flowers, studying is nothing more than an excuse for him to live a comfortable life, and now he lives in the countryside, not to mention the food is almost there, and he can't go out, he has only come back for a few days, and he feels that he can't be aggrieved, and he really can't live such a closed-door study life.

Maybe I'm not the one to study! Mei Qu pondered in her heart. Now he doesn't want to go to the academy to study again, Tingfeng Academy will not accept him, and other colleges are even more useless, and it costs more money to be far away from home, and the second brother and sister-in-law in the family will never agree to pay for him to study again.

Lin Shi's family helps his parents to harvest in the autumn, pulls sticks in the field, plows the land and plantes, and all the work seems to be not falling, if others don't know, they can't tell the difference between this little boy who wears coarse cloth clothes, ties his trousers and waist, and wears a reed hat is an old talent!

Everyone is praising Lin Zhun when they see it, and they envy Lin Cheng and his wife for having such a capable kid who understands things, compared to Meiqu, a man who is a few years older than Lin Zhun stays at home all day long and doesn't come out, and he wants to crook his mouth when he mentions it.

When the autumn harvest was over, Mei Qu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and preached to Mei Laosu and Mao: "Father,

Mother, I, I don't want to study...... I, I can't get into the old show...... I don't want to take the test either! ”

Mao Shi was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and after relieving himself, he grabbed Mei Qu and shouted, "Why don't you miss it?" Is it your second brother and sister-in-law who are talking nonsense again? I, I'll beat those two beasts to death! ”

"Eh, eh!" Mei Qu hurriedly grabbed Mao, and didn't say that she didn't miss it anymore, but only said vaguely: "Mother, I can't ignore the meaning of the second brother and sister-in-law...... Listening to those sour words every day, I can't calm down to study, and it will be consumed every year, but it is still useless. ”

Mao's unbearable wiping tears, feeling that the sky had collapsed and the ground had sunken, how much money did the family spend and how much effort did they put in for the plum canal? Pointing to Mei Qu Neng compared to his eldest son Mei Liang, he was even more promising, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would become a bamboo basket to draw water.

"Don't listen to your second brother and sister-in-law, they can't be this family, my mother told you to study at home, I see who dares to say anything sour in the future, who dares to say anything, I will get out of this house naked!" Mao pulled Mei Qu's palm and said.

Mei Qu was in a hurry, he really couldn't stay in this dilapidated countryside, he couldn't get out of the door, he couldn't read the book and couldn't get in, he was really suffocated, in a hurry, he told the truth, "Mother, I, I don't want to read, I don't like to read!" Besides, Lin Zhun is all hit, how do people all look at me? I, I can't afford to lose this person, don't read it! Mei Laosu sighed and said, "Third son, you have been studying for a few years...... Raise fine skin and tender meat, what else will you do besides reading? You can't do the work in the ground, and you can't do it! ”

Mao's family is also worried, Mei Laosu's words are not rough, what else can Mei Qu do except study, reading and taking the name of the subject is the only way out for Mei Qu.

"Third son, don't think about stupid things, didn't your eldest brother also take several years to pass the exam? You are not stupid compared to him, if you study well for another year now, you will definitely be able to pass the exam the next year. Mao's soft-spoken persuasion, only in front of Meiqu, she is Wen Nong's amiable mother.

No matter how Mei Laosuo and Mao's persuasion, Mei Qu has made up his mind, he doesn't want to read those boring books anymore, and he doesn't want to be aggrieved in this small courtyard full of grass pig dung and.

"I, I don't want to miss it, and I have to study to be successful." Mei Qu lowered her head and rubbed her fingers, her tone was firm, but she didn't dare to look at Mao and Mei Laosuo, "I don't want to be at home anymore, Lin Zhun is in the old Xiucai, what do the people in the village say about me?" There are also two brothers and sisters-in-law who say that every day, I can't stand it, I read the book of the scriptures, and I also have a face...... If you don't read it, I won't read it. ”

Mei Laosuo was a little impatient, slapped the wooden table fiercely, and was distressed, "You, you don't study, how can you support yourself?" You, will you go down to the ground to do the work? You also know that your second brother and sister-in-law speak unpleasantly, and if you don't study, they can still be happy to continue to feed you? ”

"You and the kids

What the hell! Mao glanced at Mei Laosuo dissatisfied, and turned to Mei Qu and Yan Yuese: "Third son, bear with me, no matter what the people in his village say, when you win Lao Xiucai in the next year, who else will say you?" He's just lucky, he's lucky, what are you comparing to him! ”

Mei Qu raised his eyes and glanced at Mao and Mei Laosuo, and said: "I've thought about it, I know how to write and hyphenate, I go to write letters to others, write forms, write couplets, I can do it all, I am full of ability, I have a mouthful of food to eat everywhere, and I can also support my father and mother, and I don't look at the faces of my second brother and sister-in-law to eat!" The books I've been reading for a few years are not in vain! ”

In the end, Mei Qu's face showed the same kind of arrogance and confidence as before.

No matter what Mei Qu said, this time Mao and Mei Laosu stood on the united front, and resolutely disagreed with Mei Qu to set up a stall to sell words, from the first is to be embarrassed, and the second is not to make money, delaying the serious examination. Mei Qu was anxious and helpless, and at night he ran around on the kang for half a night, and suddenly thought of a person he knew in the academy before, who had studied in the Tingfeng Academy for a few years, and felt that he was not the material in the name of the exam, and he could not withstand the discipline of the academy, so he went home.

Maybe he could help himself, Mei Qu prayed to herself.

After the autumn harvest was over, Lin Zhun and Zhang Ruoxu went back to the town to study, it seems that Lin Zhun and Zhang Ruoxu are not many people who are still studying in the academy after winning the old show, if the family is poor, they will go straight to the museum to teach, if there is a way at home, like Zhu Pingshan, they will go to a better place to continue studying, so that it is convenient for them to take the examination for life.

"Now that you have passed the old show, you should take care of yourself and don't be so impatient." Mr. Long smiled and preached to Lin Zhun, "Compared to the beginning of the chapter, your foundation is too poor, don't think about taking the exam in the past few years, you can practice the words well, and the basic skills are solid, and going to the provincial capital to take the exam is different from the old Xiucai in the county high school entrance examination!" ”

Lin Zhun naturally responded obediently, so he was so anxious to take the subject name, that is, he wanted to have the capital to get Sister Qiu, and now that he is already an old Xiucai, he even thought about giving up studying and going home to work, reducing the burden on his parents, and giving Lin Cheng and Aunt Chunhua a fierce lesson. Lin Cheng and Chunhua are all real people, they feel that since the kid can continue to go up, they naturally have to fully support the end, and they can't cut off the kid's way up because of the lack of people in the family.

"Continue to read, now there are shops and workshops in the horizontal and vertical, and it is not a problem for you." Sister Qiu said with a smile, lifting people is several levels higher than Lao Xiucai, you can't talk about the same day, Lin Zhun can lift people in the exam, even if you can't pass the test, it doesn't matter, horizontal and vertical Lin Zhun is still the kind and gentle Lin Zhun.

Lin Zhun encouraged his little fiancée, his face was slightly red, and he said with a smile: "I also want to continue studying, after going to the county government for the exam, I saw a lot of old talents from other places, and I really realized that I read less, and I am not as capable as others." This time

I took the forty-nine exams, and I didn't have the heart to tell you, for fear that you would be embarrassed. ”

Sister Qiu grinned, Lao Xiucai won a total of 50 places, and Lin Zhun ranked 49th, which is the name of the crane tail.

"What's so embarrassing about this? It's enough to pass the exam. ”

Lin Zhun also laughed and said slowly: "I think Mr. Long is very right, if I continue to study, I will study for a few years and then go to the exam, I want to take the exam to get a good name." "His own strength is very clear, and he has not lost himself in the surrounding compliments, as a motivated farmer boy, he also has his own ambition and pride.

"And ......." Lin Zhun looked at Sister Qiu with a smile and said, "My father and mother have discussed with Aunt Li, and when the next year is over, you will be 12 years old, and our family will handle the matter of getting married." ”
