That day, Wang's aunt and nephew went to Lu's house to talk about the matchmaker's matter, and Lu later told Yuyu not to mention it to her two brothers, Lu Zhilin was about to take the exam, and even if Yuyu didn't get her mother's instructions, she would definitely not use this unspoken thing to mess with him, so the two brothers were concealed from this oolong incident.

Later, until Lu Zhi finished the exam, Wang and Aunt Wang did not go to Lu's house again, which also made Lu and Yiyu, who were still a little uneasy, temporarily put this matter behind and waited intently for the day when Qingyang County was released.

On the first day of the second month, Lu Shiyin got dressed at three o'clock and went to the stove to make breakfast, and then the three brothers and sisters also got up one after another, and after they were all freshened up, Lu Jun went to the yard to feed the cows, and Lu Zhi took over Lu's cooking, so that she could help Yiyu comb her hair.

At the end of the day, after the family of four had finished eating breakfast, the pots and bowls were cleaned, the yard was cleaned, the vegetable garden was watered, and the chickens were fed, the Lu family took the bag and locked the two rooms with Lu Zhi with two "clicks" - the Lu family was going to Qingyang County to see the list.

The Lu family's big scalper is stronger and more stable than a few years ago, and it is not difficult to pull four people to trot all the way.

Lu Jun sat in front of the ox cart, and while joking with Lu Zhi in the car, he didn't forget to hug her in his arms, because he was too early to start making a fuss at this time.

"Zhi'er, are you worried that you won't be on the list this time?"

"Mother, don't worry, my son wants you to make those two clothes to be useful."

"If you win this, you will go to Chang'an on the eighth day of the new year, and I don't know if the clothes my mother prepared for you are enough to wear."

"It's enough, it's only three months from the entrance test to the full list of the spring season, and I'm going to go home anyway."

***

Speaking of which, although he is very sure of Lu Zhicai's learning, when the family is crowded in the crowd at the gate of the Qingyang County Government and waiting for the release of the list, it is Lu Zhi himself who has the most relaxed look on his face.

"Jun'er, you have great strength and big eyes, wait for the list to come out, and you squeeze to the front to carefully find your eldest brother's name." Lu Shi confessed to Lu Jundao.

"Alas, I'm sure I'll find out the name of the eldest brother from the list," Lu Jun responded, and after speaking, he was afraid that the Lu family would not be at ease, so he added: "You can rest assured, if there is a big brother's name on it, I will find it out for him!" ”

"Hun said! How can there be no name of your big brother on it. Lu Shi was already a little nervous at this moment, and if he was stirred up by Lu Jun like this, he was afraid that if it happened, the slap would fall on the back of his head mercilessly, "If there is no name of your eldest brother on it, it must be that you are dazzled!" ”

"How can I look at the dazzling eyes, my eyes are the best, if I really don't have the name of the eldest brother, then he must have not been admitted - ouch, mother, you beat me again!"

The two of them were making a fuss here, but the door of the vermilion lacquer yamen was slowly pushed open at this time, and the eight gray-clothed officials trotted out and began to drink to order the people around them to disperse, and after the open space of seven or eight steps left in front of the wall on the side of the yamen, there was a county official in a dark brown official uniform who walked out of the door with a scroll in his hand, and was escorted by two officials to stand in front of the wall, and then handed over the list book in his hand to the two to unfold and posted on the wall.

When the master book returned to the gate of the yamen under the escort of the officials, he shouted: "Detective!" ”

Originally, the people who did not dare to come forward because of the majesty of the government flocked to the front, and Lu Jun jumped into the crowd by the way, but the Lu family pulled Lu Zhi with one hand and Lu Zhi with the other to retreat.

"Why haven't you come back yet, is it so difficult to find a name!" As soon as the three of them retreated to an old tree in front of the inn opposite the yamen, Lu Shi spoke.

"Mother, the second brother just squeezed in." Lu Zhi sighed and let Lu Shi clench one of his hands.

"Yes, mother, there are so many people, how can the second brother come out so quickly." Yi Yu interjected, she was not as worried as Lu Shi, she trusted Lu Zhi's ability nine points, and the remaining one point was just worried about any accidents.

Lu Shi nodded after hearing their words and stopped talking, just tiptoe slightly, her eyes staring straight at Zhang Bang's side, as if this would allow her to find Lu Jun's figure from the large group of people.

Yi Yu looked at the crowded crowd across the street, and could still distinguish a few screams and cries in the noisy voices in his ears, and inevitably remembered that he used the public phone to check his scores in the small newspaper kiosk at the entrance of the orphanage after the college entrance examination.

"Mother!" Lu Jun, who has not yet reached the period of voice change, has a clear voice, and it reached the ears of Yi Yu for the first time on this noisy street, and then she only felt that the figure around her flickered, and Lu Shi had already rushed over quickly, and grabbed Lu Jun who had just struggled out of the crowd.

"How! Didn't you find it! Lu Jun, who was already crowded by the crowd and was confused by various smells, was pulled so violently by the Lu family, let alone answered, and the direction could not be found.

"You're talking! Did you see your big brother's name? Lu Shi couldn't take care of her youngest son at this time, and his clothes were still messy, and when he saw him stunned, he couldn't wait to give him another slap on the potsticker.

Seeing this, the remnants of the tree and Lu Zhi hurriedly went up to stop them, and Lu Zhi said, "Mother, let the second brother catch his breath first." ”

“... Mother! Lu Jun, who was relieved, looked at the three people in front of him with a look of anticipation, and his mouth showed a mouthful of white and shiny teeth under the perennial supervision of Yiyu, and said loudly: "Mother! My son is the fastest! No one was able to push me out! ”

When Yi Yu saw his second brother's stupid appearance, the corners of his eyes twitched, and sure enough, the next moment he heard a muffled sound accompanied by Lu Jundi's wail.

"What is it called! Hurry up! Although he had already let go of eight points in his heart when he saw him, Lu Shi, who still wanted to hear the truth in person, slapped him.

"Whew! Mother, you hit me again! Lu Jun had a pain in the back of his head and three points of grievance on his face, but when he saw Lu's big eyes, he hurriedly said for fear of being hit again: "Yes, yes!" has the name of the big brother, or the front! Haha, I saw it as soon as I went......"

Only said this, but no one listened to his words of invitation later, Lu Shi grabbed Lu Zhi, who was already the same size as her, and laughed: "Good son! Mother's good son! ”

"I knew that my eldest brother would definitely win!" Yi Yu also smiled and squinted on the side.

When the family was happy here, there were several fainting people in the crowd, some of whom couldn't stand the blow because of their name Sun Shan, and some were excited because they were on the list, but no matter what, the test in each state and county has officially ended, and those on the list can prepare to visit Sigong in Beijing, and those who are not on the list can only wait for the next year to try again.

***

After the four members of the Lu family returned home, many neighbors came to inquire about the results of Lu Zhi's test, and no matter what he thought after hearing that he was successful, he looked proud on his face, and Village Chief Zhao even ran home to kill a rooster and sent it, and his words were different from the previous attitude towards children, but a little more respect.

It seems that the atmosphere in the village has become a little weird because of Lu Jun's imminent entrance examination in Beijing, but Lu Shi has no time to taste the implication of this for the time being, she is busy preparing for Lu Zhi and Lu Jun's two brothers, because this is the first time that the two brothers have traveled independently and the time is too long, Rao is under the orderly arrangement of the Lu family, and the two brothers' clothes and money are ready in four days.

On the sixth day of the second lunar month, the night before Lu Zhi entered Beijing to catch the exam, except for Lu Jun, who was eating Nobunaga, the other three members of the Lu family did not sleep well that night, and Lu couldn't sleep, so he got up in the middle of the night and went to the courtyard, and met Lu Zhi, who also came out of the house, and the two talked in the courtyard.

Yi Yu was already woken up by the movement of Lu Shi turning over, after she went out for a long time and didn't come back, she grabbed her shoes in confusion and was about to go out to see, but she didn't want to go to the door to hear the conversation between mother and son, she didn't want to eavesdrop, to confirm that Lu was fine, and when she was about to go back to bed, a word that popped out of Lu's mouth made her legs stick in place like roots.

"I'm afraid your father won't recognize you, don't worry, just refer to it."

"What can you do if you recognize it, haven't you already severed the father-son relationship with me, presumably he has more sons now."

"You, don't say that, your father is not that kind of person."

"Isn't it a man who abandons his wife because of a sinister woman, or a man who wants to kill his son-in-law because of an illegitimate child...... Mother, you know that there are some things that your son can't forget, won't forget, and can't forget. ”

"Alas, you kid, my mother just said that, I wanted you to be relieved, but it made you anxious."

"Mother, my son doesn't, my son knows what he should do, don't worry, the honor you have lost, my son will definitely give you a higher one."

"Silly boy, does my mother value those people, if so, how can it be-okay, don't talk about these things, my mother will explain your affairs, and then you will be obedient to do it... Go to bed early, and get there tomorrow. ”

Lu Shi whispered a few more words to reassure Lu Zhi, and the two went back to the house separately. Lu Shi got into bed, covered the quilt on Yi Yu's body, and then closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep thinking about her thoughts, until her breathing gradually calmed down, Yu Yu cautiously turned her head, opened her eyes that looked bright in the dark night, and looked at Lu Shi's vague face with a complicated expression.

She always knew that the whole family was hiding her secret and had a lot to do with that "daddy", because it was tightly hidden, this was the first time in the past five years that she had "heard" about him so specifically, it turned out that her "daddy" was not dead, and her mother was not a widow!

What is severing the relationship between father and son, what is abandoning a wife, and what is killing a parent! It turns out that there is such a heavy burden behind this secret, no wonder her family never mentions it to her, no wonder.
