Juan'er nodded: "It's a little drowsy." ”

The two of them returned home without saying a word, had a big lunch meal, and then began to bake and eat snacks around the stove, and in the afternoon Lin Piao and Juan'er went to the shop, and Xiaoyue finally rested on the counter.

One of the most joyful things during the Chinese New Year this winter is that the dean has finally returned from Beijing.

Lin Piao suspected that he had known the news before Shen Hong, because the dean had not yet gone up the mountain, and when he passed by at noon, the carriage stopped at the Tongxi Building, and the dean and the people who served beside him entered the Tongxi Building and had a meal at the Tongxi Building first.

The second aunt happened to see it, so she sent a message to Lin Piao, who was in the shop at the time, so she hurriedly ran over.

As soon as he saw the dean, Lin Piao almost burst into tears: "Dean! ”

When the dean turned around, he saw that it was Lin Piao, and said with a smile: "Come on, it's noon, sit down and eat something." "I didn't ask him why he was here.

Lin Piao looked at the dean: "Dean, you don't know how much we miss you in the days when you are not there." ”

In fact, he was worried, worried that this little old man would be scolded in Shangjing.

But it doesn't sound nice to say.

When Lin Piao saw the dean, it was like seeing a relative, and only when the dean appeared did it mean that the matter had really passed, everything had subsided, and Shen Hong's backer had finally returned.

Shen Hong didn't know if the problem of the second prince could be solved by the appearance of the dean, but as soon as this thick thigh appeared, it made people feel a lot more relieved.

Lin Piao sat down, didn't move his chopsticks, and drank some tea, but the dean was very casual and said with a smile.

"After eating the food in Beijing for so long, I felt like I had returned to the county government after eating this meal."

Lin Piao smiled and nodded repeatedly, his heart was really delicious, and in just one or two years, he replaced the original dishes of the county government for decades and became the representative of the county government in the dean's heart.

After the dean finished eating, they put the dean in the carriage and watched his carriage disappear into the street, and the second aunt held her waist in her hand and looked at the direction in which the dean's carriage disappeared: "Okay, now it's okay, it's all back, this year will definitely be a good year, and everything will go smoothly next year." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "It will definitely go well." ”

If you pass the examination next year, you will really have entered the official career, and you will be able to settle down on this single-plank bridge that thousands of troops and horses cannot cross.

Shen Hong is smart enough, so he is not particularly tossed, but after participating in a county examination, he won the show, according to the real process, from the county examination to the government examination, in order to get a child, and then the hospital examination, after the hospital examination is the show talent, and then the township examination, the meeting examination, the palace examination, each layer is a strict screening, but each layer is equivalent to the current class of carp jumping over the dragon gate.

The thought of Shen Hong's qualifications is very likely to be high school, but the thought of these is not only excitement, but also the trembling of being swept into a new world, and the slightest worry in the bottom of my heart always exists at the same time.

If Lin Piao wants to take the test and manage these by himself, whether it is success or failure, he will not be so nervous, anyway, he knows the ups and downs in his heart, but the person who goes through this is Shen Hong, Lin Piao is just a companion, and many times even a bystander, Lin Piao is not in the middle of many things, and the ups and downs are not counted in his heart.

But what's the use of worrying, he can't bear anything for Shen Hong, he just hopes that Shen Hong won't hold back by himself, and can talk to him about what is in his heart and share a little pressure, after all, he is still too young.

Lin Piao thought about it and planned to hold a big event for this year's Chinese New Year and Shen Hong's birthday, to be lively and lively, to make a big noise, to blow up firecrackers into a mushroom cloud, and to set up a feast to invite the neighbors in the alley to eat together.

In the early hours of the morning, when the firecrackers were set off to drive away the beasts, and when the 10 firecrackers were set off, even the two pillars, which were thick-skinned and thick-skinned, hid in the house.

Lin Piao bought a batch of rice paper and dyed it red, made Kong Ming lanterns, and lit them in this new year.

They held the lantern, cautiously as if holding the future, and watched with great anticipation as the Kong Ming lantern rose into the sky.

"Shen Hong!" Lin Piao let go of his own and turned his head to find Shen Hong.

Shen Hong was standing under the eaves and looking at them, he was holding the Kong Ming lantern that belonged to him in his hand, and none of their names were written on the lamp, for fear that if they drifted away to other places and would be picked up by someone with a heart, he just drew a small mark, and his Kong Ming lantern was painted with a very small Fei Hong in the corner, with two simple strokes, as if it was drawn by his sister-in-law herself.

"Come and put yours !" The sister-in-law beckoned to him.

Shen Hong walked down, Lin Piao took out the fire fold and blew it and handed it to him: "You take it." Then he reached out and held his Kong Ming lantern.

"You order."

Lin Piao held the bottom of the lantern and dragged the edge of the lantern to prevent it from collapsing and being ignited by the fire.

Shen Hong poked the fire fold into it and lit the candle contained in the paper tray.

The candle flame was shining, and the light was melting, reflecting on Lin Piao's hands and face.

Lin Piao looked intently at the Kong Ming lantern and watched it puff up the rice paper little by little in the heat.

Shen Hong was looking at Lin Piao, the firelight swaying slightly, and the warmth shone brightly, reflecting on his soft cheeks.

"You take it, you take it, it's time to take off." Lin Piao urged him, moved his fingers, and gave him the other half's place.

Shen Hong stretched out his hand and gently held the edge of the Kong Ming lantern, and they held the same Kong Ming lantern like this, and the warmth was leaking outward.

Ergou kept his Kong Ming lantern on the side, because he was so excited all day today that he couldn't stop shouting: "I'm going to fly, I'm going to fly, look at me, my Kong Ming lantern is going to fly." ”

The second pillar on the side shouted more than him, looking at his Kong Ming lantern and shouting.

Da Zhuang's reaction was much calmer.

Xiaoyue and Juan'er were the quietest, they looked up at the Kong Ming lantern, full of prayer as they watched the Kong Ming lantern rise into the sky.

The second aunt and Uncle Qiu seriously folded their hands and made a wish, and they didn't know what they had made at this moment.

Ergou released the Kong Ming lantern, everyone was cheering, he was also cheering, and in the cheering, he looked at everyone and his eyes fluttered.

The sister-in-law was laughing, and Shen Hong was laughing.

The sister-in-law was looking at Kong Ming's lantern.

Shen Hong was looking at his sister-in-law.

He looked at Shen Hong's eyes and chuckled in his heart.

But seeing that the people around him didn't react, and then looked over, the sister-in-law also looked at Shen Hong, and the two of them smiled and said ten, very harmonious.

It's probably a coincidence......

Maybe it was just that Shen Hong happened to look at his sister-in-law at that moment.

Not long after the Chinese New Year, it was Shen Hong's birthday, and it was still a big event, inviting the neighbors to dinner without receiving gift money, and many little girls and brothers in the neighborhood came to the table, so Lin Piao called Shen Hong out and asked him to help the elders add tea, so that everyone could better watch this handsome man who could read.

Some of the people who came to eat were more particular, saying that they would give some gift money or give Shen Hong a red envelope for everything, but Lin Piao refused again and again: "Shen Hong is still young, he just wants to be lively, he really can't accept gift money, he is still young, he can't hold back, isn't this a blessing for him." ”

Lin Piao persuaded all the people who gave the gift money to go back.

This year was a very important year, Lin Piao had nothing to say to Shen Hong, after eating, the banquet dispersed, and they sat around the courtyard to rest.

"Shen Hong." Lin Piao took out a small box and put it on the table: "Birthday gift." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Shen Hong opened the box, and there was a white jade lying in the box, on which was engraved a team of wild geese, flying over thousands of mountains, carved extremely delicately, the white jade was clear and soft and glutinous, and the tentacles were warm.

He didn't expect such a valuable gift.

Shen Hong looked at Lin Piao.

"Look at what I'm doing, put it on quickly, and say that jade can keep people safe, you have to keep it well."

Shen Hong's fingertips gently rubbed the jade carving, the warm touch, came back to his senses, and nodded with a smile: "Okay." ”

Shen Hong bowed his head slightly, put the red brocade braided rope around his neck, and the jade hung down in front of his chest and leaned on the placket.

"It seems to be a bit ostentatious to wear it like this, and it doesn't go well with clothes, so you usually stuff him in the placket."

Shen Hong responded, pinched the jade, stuffed it into the placket of his clothes, and felt it fall against his skin, like a drop of dew falling into his heart, just like that.

Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong: "As for you, don't you need to worry about it like others in the family, I don't have anything to say, I just want you to be safe and happy, and you have something to tell your family, not by yourself." ”

Ergou and Erzhu immediately cast puzzled eyes: "Little sister-in-law, do we need to worry about it?" ”

It's okay not to ask, but as soon as he asked, Lin Piao immediately locked his eyes on Erzhu: "You are embarrassed to ask, if you don't read the military book, there will be an exam in a few months." ”

"Don't look, little sister-in-law! There's really nothing nice about it, what are those things that are written, things that take off their pants and fart, and only fools look at that kind of thing. ”

"You're talking crazy, aren't you? So what do you say is boring? ”

"Let's just say that Wei Wei saved Zhao, do you still need to read books to learn? Usually when my mother scolds me, she just wants me to mumble a few words about the two dogs, doesn't my mother just scold me? ”

Ergou looked at him angrily: "What? How do you usually surround Wei to save Zhao like this? ”

"You have to learn the mountain, the terrain, and the use of soldiers, right?"

"Little sister-in-law, you have to go to the battlefield to know the mountain situation, or if you look at the map, you have to look at the situation of your own soldiers, what the situation of the other party's soldiers is, and the things written in the book are not all things that everyone will know if you think about it, if you can win a big battle by reading the war book, all the generals must have seen it, but why do they still lose one?"

Lin Piao opened his mouth.

When the child is older, not only has it become difficult to say about one of them, but it is also difficult to say about the second pillar now.

Moreover, Erzhu is quite reasonable, he belongs to the empirical and observational schools, not the thin theoretical schools, and if his ideas are denied in this way, it will not necessarily be a good thing for his development.

Lin Piao said a lot in his heart, and found that there was only one final reason, that is, you have to take an exam......

But this reason is too much of an educational style, and Lin Piao himself used to hate this sentence, and it was even more difficult to say it to others.

Shen Hong tapped the table with his knuckles, and with two rhythmic taps, the person at the table looked at him, and he looked at the second pillar: "It is better to believe that a book is not than no book, and a book is not a teaching. ”

"Yes." Lin Piao felt that Shen Hong's debate line of thought was very open: "You just said that observation and practice are very important, but a person's time and experience are limited, and the reason why a military book is a military book does not require you to fight a war like theirs, but that you can gain the experience of your predecessors by reading a military book, and you have not been on a battlefield once, but if you read the military book, it is equivalent to watching dozens of important battles." ”

Lin Piao just felt that Erzhu's brain had suddenly changed for the better, but now he realized that he was still dead-headed, and he didn't like to read military books because as soon as he read them, he felt that the things in the books were restricting his thoughts, and he was teaching him what methods he had to use in what situations, and there was no standard answer when he was immersed in reality, and Erzhu didn't like to read them because he was bound by books.

He had the instincts of a beast, and he sensed that this way of reading was not good for him, so he firmly refused to read the military book.

Lin Piao patted Erzhu on the shoulder: "Don't be brainless, you think that books are very good, and you have to listen to them after learning those truths, you should watch and play,"

Erzhu seemed to understand a little, he had always known that books were very expensive and inexpensive, and that such things as military books either did not appear, and once they appeared, they would be regarded as supreme treasures, as if he could immediately raze the Quartet as long as he got them, causing him to be very careful when he looked at these things.

But the first time someone told him that he was just watching and playing, he was a little enlightened.

Chapter 107

In the subtle persuasion of the family, Erzhu slowly accepted the matter of reading, after all, after they provided ideas, Erzhu no longer drilled the horns, and only watched it as an excerpt, but watched it with relish.

Every time he came back, he had to talk about what he had seen in the book today.

"Little sister-in-law, there are so many smart people's eyes."

"Then you just have more eyes on your heart."

Erzhu shook his head: "But not all smart people have many eyes, for example, like Ergou, although he can read, but his heart and eyes are just like that, I can see through it at a glance." ”

Lin Piao: "......"

You're really seeing through it at best.

These cubs in the family, as they grow up, only the second pillar is still like a big white paper, and the others have begun to have their own worlds, and Lin Piao can only understand their expressions and expressions better than others on the premise of knowing enough.

Shen Hong recently sent several books on the art of war to Erzhu to see, and each time he would ask someone to send down a box of freshly baked dim sum, with a piece of paper attached to it, on which was written what the dim sum in the box was in order, and the pen was written with a slight twist, jujube mud cake, chestnut cake, beef tongue cake, and sesame shortbread.

Since he had two quarrels with Shen Hong when he lived in the mountains, Shen Hong has become extremely obedient and obedient, even more intimate than before, always with a gentle expression, a faint smile on his lips, very patient, will listen to him and help him solve problems.

Lin Piao had a feeling.
