Chapter Eighty-Six: The Chen Family Rejoices and the Zhou Family Sorrows
The next day, Old Man Chen carried the one, two and a half coins of silver, got up early, and rushed to Pingtong City.
Old Man Chen was still a little worried, although it was unlikely that the other party was a liar, but it was also possible that he was an idler, and when he saw that he came out of the cloth shop that sold Yuehan brocade, he coaxed himself to play.
Old Man Chen was not sure, he naturally hoped that the other party would come, after all, this was the only way to buy Yuehan Jin without borrowing money.
If he's a liar, I'll have to borrow money......
Old Man Chen sat on the steps on the side, looked at the crowded street, and sighed.
Fortunately, at noon, the man from yesterday came over with a piece of fabric under his arm.
Old Man Chen is the same, and the texture is exactly the same as that moon Hanjin, so he and the person paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.
One or two pieces of silver were given, and there were still five coins left, but Old Man Chen was very happy.
After thanking the other party again, Old Man Chen went home with this Yuehan brocade.
When Old Man Chen hugged him back, Old Man Chen was full of smiles, and Ergou was full of sadness, with a small face, a pouted mouth, and teary eyes, Wang Su thought badly in his heart, if he laughed at Ergou now, he was afraid that he would cry directly.
Thinking of this, Wang Su almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
One thing descends one thing, nothing more.
Only Old Man Chen can completely subdue the stinky little ghost of Ergou.
Old Man Chen hadn't seen the mystery yet, so he happily touched Ergou's head and said, "Ergou, grandpa will make you a dress in the past two days, and you can wear it to school then." ”
Ergou first looked at Old Man Chen, and then at Wang Su, who was gloating on the side, and then came to his heart, covered his face and ran into the house, pulled a quilt, covered his head, sweated and wept, and soaked the quilt.
Although Old Man Chen is thin and weak, and the Chen family does not have those few acres of land, he can't plant fields.
But he alone pulled the second dog from the swaddling clothes to now he is almost eight years old, and he is a father and a mother, what dirty work can't he do?
It's just cutting the fabric and sewing the clothes.
Old Man Chen was alone, and when he was resting in the evening, he returned to the public office in Shiliu Town, and sewed stitch by stitch by the light of the fire candles issued by the government.
However, for two nights, Old Man Chen was alone, and according to the drawings given by Old Master Qi, he made the school clothes for the cold study.
Even Wang Su was a little envious when he saw it, this workmanship was even better than the shops selling ready-to-wear clothes in Pingtong City.
Old man Chen is also quite complacent, don't look at me now that my old eyes are dizzy, hey, the work that the little girl can do, I can do it better.
Sure enough, another world where only two dogs were injured was reached.
Ergou pursed his mouth, although the white school in front of him was very good-looking, but when he thought of wearing this dress, he would have to be twisted into the cold study, and with those little children, shaking his head and reading, he sighed in his heart.
But Ergou saw Old Man Chen's slightly swollen eye bags because he hadn't slept for two nights, and his dry eyes that kept rubbing because of the dim candle flame, sniffled, and took the school uniform from Old Man Chen's hand and put it on.
After the old man Chen saw Ergou change into school clothes, his eyes were cold, and he looked like a little scholar.
Okay, okay, my old Chen family also has a student.
Old Man Chen was relieved and happy, he coughed a little excitedly, patted Ergou's shoulder, and there was a light in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
Even Wang Su watched it from the side, and nodded secretly, thinking: It's really people who rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles. After Ergou put on this clothes, he also became human-like and dog-like.
Xu was infected by Old Man Chen's emotions, or this dress was really good-looking, Ergou no longer slumped his mouth, laughed happily, and turned left and right a little stinky.
Recently.
Old Man Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't wait, I'll take you to Hanshuzhai to school tomorrow." ”
Ergou's little face, which was still smiling just now, collapsed suddenly, and he almost couldn't hold back crying on the spot.
Old Man Chen didn't care so much, and then said: "I can tell you okay, enter the study, and you will listen to what Mr. says, and do it." If you are told to read, you will study, and if you are asked to do your homework, you will do it. If one day Mr. and I complain that you little rabbit is disobedient, I will have to teach you a good lesson with that family heirloom. ”
The heirloom naturally refers to the willow branch that was handed down by the old Chen family.
Wang Su thought funny, this willow branch is also a good weapon, it only hurts the flesh and does not hurt the muscles and bones, it is really the only magic weapon for passing on the family and educating the back!
Ergou knew that he must not be able to move Old Man Chen, so he didn't speak, his little face turned to look at Wang Su, his eyes were full of pleading, pitiful, like a puppy.
It's really not wrong to call it Ergou.
Wang Su is funny, you stinky little devil can't do anything, do I have something to do?
Your grandfather is determined to send you to the study to study, you, you should follow.
Ergou seemed to read his schadenfreude from Wang Su's eyes, so he glared at Wang Su fiercely and lowered his little head as if resigned.
Wang Su said with added fuel and vinegar on the side: "Yes, Uncle Chen, let me tell you, if the second dog is disobedient at that time, you will directly confiscate his bamboo sword, so as to ensure that he does not dare to make trouble again." ”
Old Man Chen's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't I think of this solution?
Immediately, he looked at Wang Su with an approving gaze, or Xiao Wang's brain was smart, and he came up with a good solution after thinking about it.
Wang Su smiled secretly in his heart, Ergou, your Uncle Wang and I can only help you get here, if you study to high school one day in the future, don't forget to send an invitation to invite me to drink!
Ergou was held down by Old Man Chen's head, unable to move, and could only look at Uncle Wang with extremely resentful eyes.
I thought that you, surnamed Wang, were in the same group as me, but I didn't expect that such a thick-eyed guy as you would actually rebel.
It's really my life.
Everything is over, and Ergou has no other way but to reluctantly accept his fate of going to the cold study to study.
God, as long as I can stop studying, no matter what! Open your eyes!
Ergou wailed in his heart......
The entire courtyard of the Chen family was filled with a happy atmosphere.
-------------------------------------
"Idiot!"
In the cold study, an old scholar casually picked up a book on the desk and threw it at the person in front of him.
This person shrank his head, this room is so big, not to mention that the other party is still his brother-in-law, he can't hide, he can't hide, he can only stay next to each other first.
He shouted again and again: "Brother-in-law, stop fighting!" Stop it! ”
The old scholar has a mustache, some horizontal flesh on his face, and his body is relatively fat, and he is the last teacher in Han Shuzhai, surnamed Zhou.
Mr. Zhou looked at his brother-in-law with a lazy look, and the anger that had just disappeared rose again, and he rolled up his sleeves and punched him, making his brother-in-law scream.
Mr. Zhou scolded angrily: "You idiot, why did you come to tell me about such a big thing now? His grandmother's, you bastard who has more than enough to do. ”
The brother-in-law squatted on the ground with his head in his hands after Mr. Zhou's punch, and Mr. Zhou punched him and was still angry, so he made up for two more kicks.
The brother-in-law hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law! Stop it! If you fight again, you'll kill me! For my sister's sake, you can spare me this time. ”
Mr. Zhou is an old scholar after all, although he is short-tempered, but he starts like that, he doesn't have any strength, and he kicks so many times, but he tires himself.
After all, after so many years of eating and dressing well, I have long been less hard-working than when I was studying when I was young.
"Do you know your sister?" Mr. Zhou was angry, and said angrily, "If it wasn't for your sister to explain it to your sister, Lao Tzu would have handed over the store to you when he was blind, you loser." ”
Mr. Zhou was obviously angry, and he didn't pay attention to maintaining the decency of a scholar when he spoke, and he swore a lot.
Seeing that Mr. Zhou was no longer fighting, the brother-in-law dared to raise his head and speak, and he said aggrievedly: "Brother-in-law, you really can't blame me this time." All the thieves on that street have been emptied, and I didn't recruit the thieves, so how can you blame me? ”
"Do you still have the face to explain? Yes? Mr. Zhou pointed at his brother-in-law's nose and scolded, "His grandmother's, haven't you inquired about it as Lao Tzu?" The cloth shop on one street has suffered the most damage and the most theft in our family. What virtues do you not know? Wherever you are every day, you don't sell goods, you will be lazy and sleep. ”
The weather was hot, Mr. Zhou was angry, or scolded too much, his mouth was a little dry, he picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip, and then continued: "Lao Tzu has worked hard to make such a money-making business, and his grandmother's is all lost for you at one time." Our family all rely on this to eat, now it's okay, then the whole family will go to drink the northwest wind! ”
The brother-in-law muttered, "Aren't you still calling books?" ”
When Mr. Zhou heard this, he became even more angry, and he was about to fight again, so frightened that his brother-in-law hurriedly saved his leg and begged for mercy.
Mr. Zhou flicked his sleeves and scolded: "Teaching? Lao Tzu's book to teach a fart? How much money can you make from teaching? You idiot eats well and dresses well all day long, and those copper plates that Lao Tzu teaches are not enough for you to have breakfast! Hum! If it weren't for the fear that your sister would be sad, Lao Tzu would really want to kill you. ”
The brother-in-law still hugged Mr. Zhou's leg and begged for mercy, but he didn't care in his heart, and said with contempt in his heart: You are not ashamed and have the face to say that I am, don't you also run into the Qinglou twice in three days?
If Lao Tzu hadn't hidden it from you, hmph, see if my sister didn't settle accounts with you?
