Lin Cheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, feeling that he couldn't do anything in such a big matter as a kid's life. Since you don't want to send it, Lin really wants Aunt Chunhua to prepare some more coils for Lin Zhun to bring.

"Where did you use so much?" Lin Zhun didn't cry or laugh, his father was planning to empty all the family funds and ask him to take them!

Lin did stuff the money pocket back into Lin Zhun's hand, "Poor family rich road, you don't bring more, what if there is an emergency on the road?" Do you have to open your mouth to ask your master and classmates to borrow it? It's not at home. ”

Lin Zhun smiled and said, "Don't you and your mother want to find another place to build a house, or stay, I don't feel at ease with so much money on my body." ”

The Jiang family's house is small, and as he and the big seal get bigger and bigger, the land is not enough, and the Mei family next door has a small quarrel for two days and a big quarrel for three days, and the Jiang family has long had the idea of changing the land, just for a moment for the two boys to go to school, Rao is Lin is indeed working with Chunhua all day and night, and the money is not enough to build a new house.

"There's no hurry." Lin Cheng shook his head and said with a smile, "You and Da Yin have all gone to the town, and this house will be built in a few years." ”

In the end, the father and son grinded for a long time, and Lin Zhun agreed to bring one or two silver coins on the road, which is still the standard for Li Niangzi to pay for Meiqu to go to the county seat for the exam last year, in fact, it doesn't need so much at all. Now that Mei Qu is naturally going to the county government to take the exam, since he is no longer a student of Tingfeng Academy, the gentlemen naturally will not take him to the exam with kindness, so he is on the road alone.

"Sister-in-law, are you busy?" Aunt Mei said with a smile.

Jia Shi raised his eyes to see that it was Aunt Mei, smiled, and asked politely, "Come to the market?" Have you had breakfast? Do you want to go into the house and eat a bowl of bean curd? ”

Aunt Mei was waiting for Jia's sentence, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Eh, I got up early today, and I haven't had time to eat breakfast yet." ”

Jia Shi stopped talking, gave Aunt Mei a bowl of bean curd, and handed it to Aunt Mei.

After Aunt Mei took the bean blossom, she didn't sit there and eat it as usual, but leaned against the wall, while cocking the orchid and scooping the bean blossom to eat, while chattering with Jia's family: "Sister-in-law, Sister Qiu and her uncle are also going to the county government for the exam." ”

Jia nodded, Mei Qu is at home to take the old Xiucai, how can she not go to the exam, but now she and Sister Qiu will not give Mei Qu a plate, last time when the people of the Qiu Ji team went to Mei's house to make trouble, didn't they still search for money from Mei Qu, the Mei family is all shrewd people, it is expected that she and Sister Qiu don't have to pay, and people can also go to the county seat smoothly to take the exam.

Seeing that Jia Shi didn't pay much attention to her, Aunt Mei was also unconsciously embarrassed, scooped up Douhua'er, and continued to preach slowly: "Sister-in-law, do you think the old man can pass the exam this time?" ”

"I don't understand academic matters." Jia Shi smiled and shook his head, "Don't ask me." ”

Second Aunt Mei crooked her mouth slightly, and sighed: "Sister-in-law, if you want to say that we are the most loss-making people in the Mei family, we have been married to their family as cattle and horses for many years, and what is good cannot be eaten in the mouth, nor can I wear it on my body, so the old Mei family will not treat the daughter-in-law as a person, and will not treat the daughter-in-law."

Be your own family! In order to provide for an old man who can't make a device, the old woman is black-hearted and rotten, and even her granddaughter is willing to sell, eh, I don't think the old woman can pass the exam again, and then I should sell my family to Yindi! ”

This word poked the sore spot in Jia's heart, Jia's face was a little silent, and he didn't pick up, Mei Yindi was already engaged, how could she sell it. And Sister Qiu almost sold it because she felt a pain in her heart forever, because she couldn't protect her own child, she couldn't help Sister Qiu.

"Eh, sister-in-law." Second Aunt Mei approached Jia's with a smile and asked softly, "You have been married to Yan Yuanwai for a long time, and you are ...... Do you have a letter? ”

Jia's face was a little red, pushed away Aunt Mei'er, brushed the hair on her sideburns, and said: "Believe it or not, I'm all in my 30s, and I don't have that idea for a long time." ”

She and Mei Laoxiu have only been married for ten years, and they are all looking forward to madness, and there is only one daughter of Sister Qiu, which is obviously not allowed to give birth to her own son, and now that Yan Yuan has a small order, she also does not hope that she can add a son and a half daughter to Yan Yuanwai, and she has already given up that thought.

"Sister-in-law, this is not okay." Second Aunt Mei said in a matter-oriented manner, "What is Yan Yuanwai's identity, how many eldest daughters want to marry him!" It's enough for you to bring a Sister Qiu over, and if you don't give birth to a kid, how can you do it? ”

"The matter of giving birth to a child is under the control of the master of Guanyin, it is destined by God, and there is no force on it." Jia Shi frowned and said, originally she wanted to say that Yan Yuanwai was not an ordinary person, but later she felt that there was no need to talk to Aunt Mei, and Aunt Mei in the province couldn't control her own mouth, and it was spread everywhere.

Second Aunt Mei slapped her thigh and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are right!" There is a temple on my mother's sister-in-law's side, and the fairy water in the temple can be cured, and many women all go to beg, and they can give birth to children after eating, and I want my mother's sister-in-law to get you some...... My eldest brother is familiar with the abbot, so I promise to give you the best and most spiritual! ”

Seeing that she was getting more and more untouchable, no matter how good Jia's temperament was, it didn't work, so he said to her directly: "It's not early, why don't you hurry back?" Delayed lunch, Sister Qiu, her grandmother is not good at talking. ”

Aunt Mei put down the bowl in amazement, and muttered, "Isn't this early!" Seeing that there were people in the store eating meat buns and fresh meat dumplings, he said cheekily: "Sister-in-law, Erniu is delicious and you have wrapped the steamed buns and fragrant dumplings, I haven't tasted them for several days, and the children are always chattering, saying that the things made by the aunt are delicious......

She didn't dare to mention the matter of Da Niu, for fear that Jia would talk about her bad at disciplining children.

Jia didn't want to listen to Aunt Mei'er's ramblings, so he went straight into the house and took a bun and put it in the bamboo basket that Aunt Mei was carrying, and waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and go home, it's too late to delay the child's dinner." ”

It's easy to send Aunt Mei away, Li Ailian came over, sighed and said, "It can be regarded as leaving!" has such a cheeky mother, and she can't complain that the big cow is crooked like that! What did she just babble in your ear? He also glanced at me several times, but I was afraid that I would look at it! ”

Chia has

blushed a little, shook his head and said, "Why do you say that there is immortal water in the temple of her mother's sister-in-law...... The words in her mouth, one of the ten sentences is true, she must want to cheat money, if I believe her set, a bowl of water can't ask me for money? ”

"What immortal water!" Li Ailian pursed her lips, "If there is really a magic fairy water, why doesn't she eat it herself?" Didn't she give birth to two daughters by herself! But...... It's been a long time since you've been doing this, why haven't you made a noise yet? ”

Jia's face was even hotter, and he couldn't cry or laugh, but he was a sister in the end, and he didn't have any scruples when he spoke, "It's enough for me to have Xiaoxu and Sister Qiu with him, and I don't think about anything else." Besides, Lao Xiu and I have only one sister Qiu for ten years, so I am not a good ......."

"I'll accompany you to find a Lang Zhong to take a look...... Li Ailian said softly, "Sister Qiu and Xiaoxu are both good children, but this couple lives a life, and it is good to have a child of the two of you, if you can give birth, you should hurry up and conceive one, and take advantage of the appearance and appear to be young, with good body bones." Li Ailian persuaded that in a few more years, Jia's will be old and unsuitable for children.

Jia Shi smiled, nodded her head and didn't pick up the stubble, a few years after Sister Qiu was born, she hadn't been pregnant with a child, Mei Lao Xiucai took her to see Langzhong, all said that it was okay, but she couldn't conceive, she was trembling under the lost eyes of her mother-in-law and husband all day long, until Lao Xiu died, she was relieved. Now she is very content, whether she has children or not, it depends on God's will.

"You don't want x heart to finish this and then x heart that." Jia Shi said with a smile, "If you have read such a year, and people understand that things are progressive, I think this time an old show is very stable." ”

Li Ailian sighed and sighed: "I was hoping that he could pass the exam, but in the end he only went to the town to study for a few days, compared to those who are not allowed to pee and study, it seems to be a small preface, since the age of 3, he began to read and write, we are country children, one step later than all others." Taking a step back, even if he can't pass the exam this year, he doesn't have anything, and I didn't think that he could pass the exam in one go. ”

"You can think as much as you want." Jia preached.

There are not a few students who go to the county government to take the exam, and there are more than ten students around Jiujiang alone, and all the families are looking forward to waiting for the children at home to come back with good news.

Since the beginning of September, the countryside has entered the busy season of autumn harvest, and every household in the village is a busy scene.

Da Niu took turns to "teach" a few men some time ago, and now he can't be well-behaved, unlike before, like a seven-eight-year-old child, who chases chickens and dogs every day. This time in the autumn harvest, Mei Laosu also spoke, and the big cow also went to the ground, at least half of the strong labor called.

And Mei Yindi, as a married lady, naturally can't do rough work in the field anymore, she and Mao's cook at home for the people who go to the field for the autumn harvest.

Meiqu has been going to the exam for seven or eight days, and Mao's moves a small board to sit by the door every day, which is the choice

A vegetable to break a corn cob, but also to go to the door to dry, for fear of missing the figure of the boy, although she didn't say it, her heart was always looking forward to the early return of the meat Meiqu in her heart.

Always stay until the sixth day of the new year, the sun is shining, Mao just sat by the door to wash a few handfuls of cowpeas, then listened to the sound of suona and drums from afar from the village entrance, she sat up straight and narrowed up a little old flower eyes to look at the past.

After a while, a few children who were watching the play came running, clapping their hands excitedly and shouting: "It's the person from the county town who announces the good news!" ”
