Chapter 52: Bending over for a bowl of braised vegetables
Mrs. Bao came back to the village two years ago, saying that she left home when she was young and went to a wealthy family in the capital to be a subordinate.
So Mrs. Bao and the people in the village are not very familiar.
But their old Zhou family has at least eaten roast whole sheep with Mrs. Bao twice, why didn't this old lady help her quarrel?
Mrs. Bao glanced at Aunt Wang with disgust and said, "Is it useful to quarrel?" What does the academy say? ”
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment and said, "The gentleman of the academy said that he should investigate and understand this matter, and if Yang Ershan is indeed misbehaved, he will be expelled!" ”
Mrs. Bao sighed and said, "Yes, he must really be misbehaved." ”
Aunt Wang didn't understand, and looked at her son and daughter-in-law.
Yang Mu instantly understood what Mrs. Bao meant, and said with a smile: "So, let the academy think that Yang Ershan is really misbehaving." Otherwise, the academy will not expel him. ”
Aunt Wang didn't understand very much, she had already told the gentleman about the matter, didn't the gentleman believe her?
Yang Mu explained: "There must be evidence for the academy to do things, and a scholar who just bleed a few words on the street will not be expelled." ”
Only then did Aunt Wang understand that the very serious thing in her heart, in fact, in terms of other academies, was just a scholar who was proud of himself, which was not a big mistake, let alone that Yang Ershan was a person of bad conduct.
Her decadent ass sits on a rock, so what is she going to do?
Sister-in-law Zhu saw that her mother-in-law had obtained it like this for herself, her eyes were red with emotion, and she persuaded: "Mother, I'm not angry, don't worry about it." ”
It is difficult for a powerless villager like them to shake the status of a scholar in the academy.
She has already figured out that no matter what outsiders say, she has to sell cakes.
One is to help Mu Meizi, and the other is to help this barren family.
My father-in-law couldn't see and his leg was injured, so he couldn't work.
All the burdens of the family are on the husband alone, he used to be tired and tired, and he only earned more than one or two silver a month.
Now that there is an opportunity for her to help her husband share the burden, she will never give up.
Aunt Wang looked at her daughter-in-law's red eyes, gritted her teeth angrily and said, "No! I'm going to get him expelled! ”
Yang Mu sighed, in fact, Yang Ershan complained about her, so he played humiliation on the street yesterday.
Sister-in-law Zhu just suffered from the unjustified disaster.
She can't just be a spectator.
"Aunt Wang, you don't have to worry about this matter, leave it to me."
Aunt Wang raised her head in surprise, thought of something, suddenly stood up, grabbed Yang Mu's wrist, and persuaded: "Mu girl, don't beat people!" ”
Yang Mu raised his eyebrows, am I such an impulsive image in your heart?
"Don't worry, auntie, I won't hit anyone."
Aunt Wang was still not at ease, what else did she have to persuade again, Aunt Bao said disgustedly: "You still persuade her?" ”
Aunt Wang choked, pulled up her daughter-in-law, and left with a pout.
Zhou Dazhuang scratched his head, laughed, and chased home.
Yang Mu looked at Mrs. Bao curiously, this old lady is a fake villager, right?
Mrs. Bao looked at her angrily and said, "Don't look at me, I don't have an idea." ”
Yang Mu looked at Mrs. Bao seriously, and said temptingly: "How about a bowl of braised vegetables?" ”
Mrs. Bao raised her eyes and looked at Yang Mu, and immediately bent her waist for a bowl of braised vegetables.
She said slowly: "If a scholar wants to earn fame through scientific examinations, in addition to his own reputation and conduct, the virtue of his relatives is also very important. ”
Yang Mu's eyes lit up, she didn't know this.
Originally, she was going to make a game and pit Yang Ershan, but since there is a better way, she naturally has to use a simple method.
After Mrs. Bao finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards her yard.
A phrase floated in the air.
"I'll eat at the end of the hour."
Yang Mu tilted his head, secretly guessing in his heart what the identity of this old lady Bao was.
Why are Li Zheng and the patriarch jealous of her, and why does she know how to study and be an official?
Back at home, Yang Mu was pleasantly surprised to find that the Chen family father and son had completed the houses in the front and back yards and had begun to dig wells in the backyard.
There is a river in the village, but it is a little far away from the ancestral house, and Yang Mu has to go back and forth many times each time to carry enough water for the day.
If there is a well, it will be much more convenient in the future.
Daddy Chen said that by tomorrow night, the well would be almost dug.
In other words, early the day after tomorrow, the Chen family father and son left.
Yang Mu was in a trance, during this time, she was used to how lively the family was, but she didn't expect the Chen family father and son to leave so soon.
In fact, the Chen family father and son worked overtime, shortening the original half-month construction period to ten days.
Yang Mu naturally knows these things, so the food in the last two days is even better.
In the evening, Yang Mu made braised vegetables and braised meat to eat.
The fragrance of braised vegetables and braised meat wafted out, and Yang Xiaohua next door grinned and cried.
But with what happened last time, the people of the old Yang family couldn't pull down their faces and went to Yang Mu to ask for food.
Yang Xiaohua cried so much that she didn't let her parents come forward to ask her for delicious food, and finally went to the next door with a bowl by herself.
The one who opened the door was Mu Dalang.
Yang Xiaohua was not happy when she saw Mu Dalang, she held the bowl and didn't say anything, hoping that Mu Dalang could take the initiative to eat delicious food for herself.
However, Mu Dalang glanced at Yang Xiaohua with disgust, and then stretched out his head to look at Lai's who was peeking next door, sneered, and closed the courtyard door with a "bang".
After that, no matter how Yang Xiaohua kicked the door, he didn't open it.
Yang Xiaohua took the empty bowl again and went home crying.
When Zhao heard about this, he was so angry that he threw his chopsticks and scolded loudly: "The one who killed a thousand knives has eaten my grain for ten years, and he is reluctant to give even a piece of meat to my granddaughter!" Sure enough, it's a white-eyed wolf who loses money and can't be raised. ”
Yang covered his head and cooked on Chinese New Year's Eve, ignoring his old wife.
How can Zhao let him eat peacefully? kicked him on the waist and eyes, and said angrily: "Something that has no interest, even your granddaughter can't handle it!" Your own granddaughter wants to eat meat, but she won't come! ”
She snatched Yang Chinese New Year's Eve's rice bowl and ordered: "You go!" Ask for more meat! Ershan also has to make up for it! ”
Yang Chinese New Year's Eve looked embarrassed.
Yang Mu, the granddaughter, has never said a few words to her since she was a child.
Before he came home from the county seat, his granddaughter greeted him and cooked food for himself.
But in the past month, the granddaughter has ignored herself.
Zhao pushed her husband all the way out of the door, closed the courtyard door with a "bang", and said loudly: "If you don't come back to meat, you don't have to come back!" ”
Yang Chinese New Year's Eve took the empty bowl, listened to the words of his old wife, sighed, and silently squatted at the door of the house to smoke dry smoke.
After a full quarter of an hour, Zhao wondered why her husband had not returned, and when she opened the courtyard door, she found her husband sitting on the threshold with an empty bowl and falling asleep.
She was so angry that she scolded: "Old goods! Useless stuff! Look at your little bit of interest! As he spoke, he came to pinch Yang's ears on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Yang was awakened by fright on Chinese New Year's Eve, a clever one, sitting on the ground with one ass.
Yang Xiaohua in the yard saw that her grandfather didn't ask for meat for herself, and continued to cry.
Lai's was startled by his daughter's cry and dropped a bowl.
Yang Nan was unhappy, and just took Lai's anger at her, saying that she was a loser and a waste snack.
The chickens and dogs of the old Yang family jumped for a while.
But the ancestral house is happy and lively.
