Chapter 166: Hot and Cold
On a seemingly ordinary evening in the spring, Shu Xianming followed Shu Santie back home.
When Shu Ling saw him, he was very happy and jumped over to greet him.
"Brother, is your school on vacation?"
"Yes, my brother has a few days off."
"Okay, my brother has a good holiday."
Shu Santie listened to the conversation between their brother and sister, and said to Shu Ling: "When your brother is at home, don't go and quarrel with your brother to study, he has to take the exam in a few days." ”
Shu Ling looked at Shu Santie, and then said to Shu Xianming: "I know, my brother has to take a very important exam." ”
Shu Xianming looked at her and nodded with a smile: "When my brother finishes the exam, my brother will accompany you up the mountain." ”
Shu Ling didn't dare to accept Shu Xianming's going up the mountain, she smiled brightly at him: "I listen to my father's arrangement." ”
All the people in the Shu family knew at this time that Shu Xianming was going to take the children's exam, and suddenly the atmosphere in the family came up.
The next day, the old lady of the Shu family and the Yang family took the two Bao'er to play under the old banyan tree, and when Zhou Damei was busy working in the front yard, her steps were much lighter.
Gao Xiaorui behaved very calmly, but in fact, her heart had become a mess of porridge, and at such a time, she must show her usual appearance.
Shu Ling and Liu Hao went up the mountain again and again, and she and Liu Hao whispered: "In the past few days, my brother is at home, so let's talk outside the courtyard gate." ”
They didn't actually have so much to say together, and when the two came back to deal with things, Shu Ling directly carried water and washed it outside.
Liu turned around and went back to tell the family the news, her second cousin thought about it carefully, and said to the family: "Brother Ming next door is about to take a major exam, and in the past few days, our family should not talk loudly." ”
Liu Lao looked at his second son: "The Shu family didn't say the news outside?" ”
"Their family has never been a flamboyant family, and if it happens, it probably won't be publicized in the town."
Mr. Liu agreed with the second son's statement, since the eldest son followed Mr. Liu out of the house, the second son was obviously more affordable than before.
A few days later, Shu Santie accompanied Shu Xianming into the city, and he told his family that he had set up an inn in the city, and he would not go home to sleep in the next few days.
Gao Xiaorui prepared a lot of food, and was worried that they would not sleep well.
Shu Santie said to her: "Ming'er has passed this level, I don't know how many levels I have to pass later, you can't hold your heart now, how will you live in the future?" ”
Gao Xiaorui suddenly cheered up: "My son is promising, and I, a mother, will naturally have a lot of courage." ”
On the days when Shu Xianming was not at home, everyone's mood was still a little worried, looking forward to their father and son returning home early, and looking forward to their father and son returning home a few days later.
Shu Ling also figured out at this time that Shu Xianming had passed the first level of the exam this time, and then took the second level of the exam, and then had to take the three exams in a row to know whether this student was eligible to participate in the government exam.
Although Shu Santie is accompanying his son in the city, he is also on an errand in the government during the day, as long as he accompanies his son to live in the inn at night.
Shu Xianming's first attempt was on the list, which was expected for both father and son.
Shu Xianming was on the list in the second test, Shu Xianming had a certain confidence in his heart, and Shu Santie didn't dare to show a happy look outside.
When the third trial list was released, Shu Santie happened to be on vacation, and their father and son went to see the list together.
Shu Santie saw his son's name on the list, and tears of excitement and joy rolled in his eyes.
Shu Xianming understood his father's excitement, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he finally had a good explanation for his family.
Their father and son went home early, and the Shu family soon learned the good news.
Shu Xianming said to his family: "I will take the government exam in a month, and I will go back to the school to study seriously with my master in a while." ”
Their father and son just came back to say the good news first, and then Shu Santie sent Shu Xianming back to the school, and he wanted to go into the city to prepare some gifts to send to the school, thanking the masters for their kindness to Shu Xianming's teaching.
Shu Ling came back from the mountain, and when he heard such good news, he happily wrapped Da Bao'er and kissed him several times: "Da Bao'er, you will be as smart and capable as your fourth uncle in the future." ”
Wang Zhi was also full of joy on the side, the Shu family had a child, what a happy event, but the old lady of the Shu family ordered to go down, and this matter should not be publicized for the time being.
Shu Ling asked him, "Grandfather, I'm just going to talk to you, okay?" ”
The old lady of the Shu family thought about it, this was also a great joy for his family, and he nodded.
Wang Zhi saw that the old lady of the Shu family agreed to Shu Ling's request, and said boldly: "Grandfather, I will quietly tell Da Bao'er's grandmother about this good news?" ”
The old lady of the Shu family glanced at the expressions on the faces of the family, thought about it and nodded: "Okay, you explain to Da Bao'er's grandmother that Ming'er still has to take the exam in a month, so for the time being, I won't invite my in-laws to come over and have a good time." ”
Gao Xiaorui heard the words of the old lady of the Shu family, and after the old lady of the Shu family went out with a happy face, she said to the Yang family: "Grandmother, I will also go back to my mother's house tomorrow, such a happy event, I want to go and talk to my mother's family." ”
Yang nodded happily: "You also heard your father's words, you told your mother's family, it's not that our family doesn't want to invite in-laws to come over and have a good time, it's just that the future of the child is the most important thing right now." ”
Gao Xiaorui nodded happily and wiped the corners of her eyes casually, because of Shu Xianming's reading over the years, she has been carefully behaved at home.
Now that the child has finally had a little bit of respite, she is also relieved in her heart.
Just thinking of Shu Santie's words, she looked at Yang and Zhou Damei and said with a smile: "Ming'er can have today, it is a big and small credit, he is a sensible child, and he will definitely remember the good of his family." ”
Yang shook his hand, and Zhou Damei said with a smile: "Third brother and sister, it's serious." Your own children, no matter what, must raise people.
He is so promising, and he has worked his own. ”
Zhou Damei didn't think that Shu Xianming would be a white-eyed wolf, and she didn't want to put any pressure on Shu Xianming.
Shu Datie told her that whether the children in the family can have a big future depends on Shu Xianming, the child.
Shu Xianming has been able to get to this point, which is not an easy task for him and the Shu family.
She remembered that Gao Xiaorui would go to Gao's house to report the good news, and hurriedly reminded: "Third brother and sister, at Ming'er's age, he is so self-motivated, his family affairs must be cautious." ”
Gao Xiaorui nodded, and Shu Santie also said that the Shu family doesn't need to be close to the Gao family anymore, the two families are close enough.
In fact, over the years, the Gao family's attitude towards the Shu family has been cold and hot, which has made Gao Xiaorui a little cold.
