Chapter Forty-Eight: Tea Bags
Han Beiqing is an adult in her bones, how can she endure a barren and ignorant life. It is inevitable to find a balance point and cross classes while getting rich.
As a person who has been helping the poor at the grassroots level for several years, I know very well what the human environment in the rural areas is like. Even if she is the only girl in the Han family and seems to be favored, she can't get past a few older brothers.
Being too smart is as beautiful as a flower, and it is a weapon to hurt a girl. Only by hiding in the shadows can you live safely.
"In the future, with your eldest brother working in the yamen, no one will dare to stumble when our family does some small business. You're just lucky. Mrs. Han was basking in dried fish, and the smile on her face never stopped since she beat Han Dalang into the yamen.
"Yes, the third uncle said the same. It's different if someone in the family is doing things in the public house. Now the people in the village are respectful to us. Han Beiqing smiled and spoke to Mrs. Han.
"Who's to say it isn't! When your father was just a few years old, people outside did the same to us. But the family is poor, and there is no money for your father to listen to the lectures of the husband in that famous academy. It's been a long time, and you're all so old that you haven't been able to go any further. ”
So much so that over the years, more and more people have begun to laugh at Han Xiucai's 'Jiang Lang's talent', saying that he is 'shit luck'.
Until now, Han Dalang entered the yamen to work as a clerk. The people in the village became excited again, and neighbors often came to Han's house to send some melons and fruits to get acquainted with feelings.
"Girl, grandmother told you. This person's heart is the most unpredictable thing, laughing at you without hatred, you have, when you are down, you step on it hard, but you find that you are stronger than them and catch up and stick. ”
Han Beiqing knows these truths in his heart. She looked at Mrs. Han with a smile: "Grandmother is right, granddaughter write it down." But today I went to the village chief's house to deliver melons and fruits, and I heard their family talking about our family in the back window. ”
Mrs. Han heard that Han Beiqing was listening to the corner of the village chief's house, and glared at her fiercely. opened his mouth and said, "You girl, how do I usually teach you?" Do you dare to listen to the corner of the village chief's house, and if he catches you, your reputation will be gone. ”
After a reprimand, Mrs. Han saw her granddaughter lowering her eyebrows and keeping silent, as if she realized that she was wrong.
Only then did he say with a straight face: "That's it, I won't punish you this time." Don't make such mistakes in the future, you don't have to make people laugh at you. ”
After speaking, he pretended not to care and asked casually: "You said that the village chief is talking about our family at home?" What did he say? ”
Han Beiqing lowered his head and smiled, saying in his heart that I don't care about this.
She raised her head and pretended to look at Mrs. Han mischievously: "Grandmother, guess, what are they talking about our family behind their backs?" ”
"I guess, it must be the village chief's daughter-in-law who is jealous of our family." Wang Sanniang leaned against the door frame at some point, and was tilting her body and knocking on the melon seeds with a look of anger.
"Mother, it's the eldest brother who enters the public gate, not my brother who enters the public gate. Why are you so happy? Han Beiqing didn't have a good impression of this mother, and he didn't know if it was the residual consciousness of the original owner of the body, and every time he saw Wang Sanniang, he couldn't control his emotions and wanted to scold her.
Wang Sanniang was not stimulated by Han Beiqing's indifferent expression. She spit out a mouthful of melon seed skin to the ground disappreciatively, with a straightforward face: "Isn't Da Lang's surname Han?" He has a future, isn't the Han family a talent? If he does well in the yamen, he will let your father in the future. Your father is a showman, so he can be a leader no matter what. ”
It turned out that Wang Sanniang was actually planning this, thinking that if Han Xiucai couldn't take one step to reach the sky, then he would be sent to the yamen to do things.
"the! In this life, my son will definitely be able to pass the examination and glorify his ancestors. Wang Sanniang, let me tell you, you don't want to make this calculation! Mrs. Han jumped to her feet angrily, her eyes widened, and she was reluctant to slap Wang Sanniang to death.
Wang Sanniang pursed her lips, very disapproving. shrugged his shoulders, with a thick disdain in his eyes: "Come on, that's what I said the year I got married." Now the girl I gave birth to is getting married, and her father hasn't been admitted yet. Count on him, huh! ”
The corners of Mrs. Han's mouth cramped angrily, and at first glance, she was holding back her anger and didn't want to fight with her daughter-in-law. Han Beiqing was worried that the old lady would be angry again, so she hurriedly patted her juniors and coaxed her with a smile.
"Don't be angry, Grandma, Daddy is not a soft-eared person. In the past, my brother and sister were young, and there were many things to do at home, so we couldn't read steadily. Now that my brother and I have grown up, we can honor you, and he will definitely be able to pass the exam. ”
Wang Sanniang rolled her eyes and continued to say cool words: "What can you do with a dead girl." ”
Han Beiqing ignored Wang Sanniang, and said while patting Mrs. Han's chest and smoothing out: "I'm listening to it in the back window, it seems that someone in the village chief's family is very envious of the eldest brother entering the yamen." begged the old village chief to help find someone, saying that the people in the public gate looked majestic. ”
Mrs. Han gasped and nervously grabbed Han Beiqing's hand: "Could it be the village chief...... Do you want to replace our eldest man? ”
Han Beiqing shook his head with a light smile, and explained gently: "No! I heard the village chief say, 'The eldest brother didn't enter the yamen to be a big official, that is, he ran errands for people.' ”
Mrs. Han breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded and said, "What the village chief said is right. ”
Han Beiqing said again: "The village chief also said: The eldest brother is young and has no experience, so he has no roots when he enters the public gate. The little money he earned may not be enough for his own expenses, and his family has to make up for it. ”
Wang Sanniang's face changed when she heard this, and she frowned and shouted, "What? Do you even want to post it upside down at home? So what's the use of going to the yamen? It's better to plow the fields at home and save some money. ”
"Shut up!" Mrs. Han was impatient with this daughter-in-law, and yelled at Wang Sanniang.
turned around and wrinkled his eyebrows at Han Beiqing with a dark face: "You go on." ”
"The village chief said that our family has a shallow foundation and the big brother is careless. And those people in the county government are all old fritters who are used to doing it, and when there is a benefit, it is naturally not the turn of the big brother, but the dirty work is all the big brother's. If they cause some trouble, those people will have to push it on the big brother. But after a month, the eldest brother will definitely not be able to stand it, so he will run home. ”
These words were actually reminded by Han Beiqing to Mrs. Han through the mouth of the village chief. This is her experience at the grassroots level for many years, and this kind of human sophistication can be said to span all workplaces in ancient and modern times.
"Otherwise, how can someone be the village head?" Mrs. Han suddenly realized and glared at Wang Sanniang: "Look, there are many ways to do this." This should be heard by the third family, I don't have to stare at my feet all day long, I always feel that I can't take advantage. ”
Mrs. Han pondered for a long time, and waved her hand to Han Beiqing: "When we have dinner later, I will tell them this truth." Your uncle and third uncle don't have such insight, and your brothers must also restrain their minds as soon as possible. ”
He pointed to the small dried fish in front of him and sighed: "You go to the city tomorrow, pack some more and send them to the county office." Eating people with short mouths, taking our family's things, those colleagues can also bully Da Lang less. ”
Eating people with a short mouth? Han Beiqing sneered in his heart, I'm afraid that because of the lack of people's hearts, I don't know that I have caused a lot of trouble.....
