"What's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? Lin Piao looked him up and down.

"Not really." Ergou was a little embarrassed to pick up the robe on the side and quickly put it on himself, he had actually not had a very good time in Ludong Academy during this time, he was basically living in isolation, he didn't care about others, and others didn't care about him.

Without Shen Hong by his side, Ergou completely realized that he still lacked too much heat, originally everyone in Ludong Academy had their eyes above the top, and when Shen Hong was there, others looked at Shen Hong's face, Ergou didn't think too much, after Shen Hong left, he knew what it meant to have a difficult life.

Before, he wanted to earn a little pocket money, so when he was idle, he went to Tongxi Building to help run errands, helped line up in advance to occupy a seat, and used this method to change hands to get some small money, but he encountered a cautious temper, grabbed him and beat him.

After this beating, the people in the Ludong Academy knew that he had been beaten and that he had done something under the mountain, so they despised him, so Ergou did not want to have more places with them, and usually either studied or slept, and finally was admitted to Xiucai, but those people did not look down on him because of this, but counted him more and more.

Naturally, he didn't tell his sister-in-law about this, but hurriedly put on his clothes and sat on the edge of the bed: "What? Shen Hongzhong understands Yuan?! ”

Ergou was so excited that he didn't know how to let his hands go, and he rubbed his hands happily: "I know that a smart person like Shen Hong can be a simple middle-sized person!" If he doesn't win the championship, who will win the championship? ”

"What??! The second pillar is also hit! Oh my God, how can his exam luck be better than mine, this kid hasn't passed the exam before, and now he has become a lifter, but I'm going to give him a moment of pride! ”

Lin Piao looked at him in shock and incoherent thoughts: "I came here this time because I have something to tell you, you shouldn't have returned to the hometown after winning the show, right?" ”

"I wrote a letter back, thinking that Shen Hongzhong would definitely return to his hometown, and we could go back together when the time came, so I waited for it."

Lin Piao nodded: "Shen Hong and Erzhu are too busy in the state capital to come over, so they haven't come back for the time being, my second aunt and I will go back to the township for them first, and Xiaoyue and Juan'er will also go back. ”

Ergou said: "Little sister-in-law, I will go down with you today, otherwise it will be troublesome to go up and down." ”

Lin Piao thought about it and nodded, after all, now that the Wen family and the Han family are no longer in the county government, there are not so many carriages in the academy that can be called by Ergou.

"But there is one day in between, do you want to take a leave of absence?"

"On that day, I don't usually take much off, so let me take a break on this day."

"Okay, let's go back together, you go to take a leave of absence first, see if there is anything to clean up, don't go back to the dormitory, take a leave of absence, go directly to the outside of the academy, I'll wait for you outside the academy."

Ergou nodded: "I don't have anything to bring, there are ready-made ones at home, and my sister-in-law will take me away." Ergou packed up his instrument and walked out quickly, Lin Piao also stood up, closed the door for him in the back, and went to the outside of the academy, sitting outside the carriage and waiting.

After waiting for a while, Ergou hurried out and looked at the two officials next to the carriage: "Little sister-in-law, who are these two?" ”

"The official in the state capital, who escorted us back this time, will go back to the county government with us later, you can call the eldest brother."

Ergou called the two eldest brothers good, and then drilled into the carriage like a monkey, Ergou spoke lively, and the two officials were not people with a very high tone, and they chatted very happily together, especially the two dogs introduced them to the delicious and fun in the county government, and where to go shopping and eat once, it was just like a number of treasures, the two officials were originally on a business trip at public expense, and every time they came out to help do something, they could get another thank-you gift, and when Lin Piao and they returned to the countryside, they didn't follow, and this idle day was just to look around and have fun, find some fun, this together, it can be said that the chat is very happy.

After going down the mountain, the part-time job of the official was completed today, and the two of them planned to go to Tongxi Building to eat two side dishes and drink a cup of food, while Lin Piao and Ergou went home first.

Back at home, a few large boxes under the eaves were open, and there were all kinds of things in them filled with half a box, and they were still accumulating. All the boxes were dragged out? ”

"Go home, pack up some things and take them back, you can rest tomorrow, and see what you want to pack up, and bring it back to your parents' relatives."

"This ......" Ergou shook for a moment, it was nothing more than eating and drinking, and when they bought a few packs of pastries on the street, they would bring a lot of things back when they went home, but they were nothing more than two big burdens, which were enough to carry by hand or on their shoulders.

Ergou thought about it, thinking that Shen Hong and Erzhu had not returned, and that the sister-in-law and aunt would definitely not be able to stay in the county government for long before going to the state capital again, and the state capital would be the place where they would stay in the future, and the county government would no longer be a long-term foothold.

The little sister-in-law may want to take them out too, and when Ergou thought of this, he thought to himself No wonder Xiaoyue and Juan'er had to prepare so many things.

Lin Piao took advantage of this gap and asked Ergou to accompany him to send out the small gifts he had prepared from door to door.

The second dog carried things as a little attendant, and his heart was a little up and down.

Will the sister-in-law take him?

He also wanted to go with his sister-in-law......

But Xiaoyue and Juan'er are girls, and it is convenient to take them with them, even if they are raised by two little maids, they can clean up the bed for their sister-in-law and take care of the house.

He, a man who should not even go into his sister-in-law's house, will continue to study in the future, and he will not be able to stay at home and take care of the affairs of the house and outside the house like Da Zhuang, and he will not be able to do much for the family after the family has to continue to worry about him.

Ergou thought about it, and felt that he was the most likely to be left behind in the family, and his mood became very nervous, but Shen Hong and his sister-in-law both had ideas in their hearts, and if they made a choice, it would be useless for them to want to stay.

He followed behind his sister-in-law until he finished giving the gifts, and he had already calculated in his heart that he liked such days, if he was left alone in the county government, he would read all day long, read before going to bed, and die all day reading, so he would not do it, he planned to talk to the second aunt to see if he could go through the second aunt's way.

He made a plan, so he went to the street to buy things, and he also put together a box full of calculations, his father's autumn clothes to winter clothes, hand warmers, food, and bought his mother a silver hairpin, not thick or thin, with plum blossom pattern engraved on it.

They had all their things ready, and they had all the things to be dealt with, and this time they would need at least three wagons to go back, and they could fit into one wagon, and the rest of the things to be brought would be loaded into at least two wagons.

The night before going out, the second aunt also reminded Lin Piao: "When the time comes, I will go to the grave, what kind of incense and paper, it is difficult to find a place to buy it when I go to the village, and I have bought everything in the county government, so I don't need to go back to prepare anything. ”

"Is that to bring that...... Is that the meat? Lin Piao remembered that every time he burned paper, he had to have two large pieces of boxy boiled meat.

The second aunt nodded again and again: "Oh yes! I can't forget the knife head, and the tofu poop, and I don't know if I can buy it now, so I went to the Tongxi Building to find two pieces, and we cooked them overnight, and put them in two bowls, so that I don't need to use the stove when I go back, and I will save a lot of trouble. ”

The second aunt went to find meat, and Uncle Qiu went to prepare tofu and poop, so that each family had one more thing to bring.

Hu Ci was playing in the yard, watching them busy coming in and out, and when he was hungry, he walked to the table by himself, stood on tiptoe and went to eat the things on the table.

Lin Piao went to greet the neighbor in advance and sent him something, saying that their family had something to go out tomorrow and asked him to take care of Hu Ci tomorrow. ”

Waiting until the next morning, Lin Piao first sent Hu Ci, who had just eaten breakfast, to the neighbor's house, and when they set off from the yard, they were still urgently collecting things, and the second aunt urgently recalled: "There are also two silver bracelets?" I'm going to take it to my aunt and aunt. ”

"Hurry up, go back to the house and get it, what have you forgotten?" Lin Piao looked at everyone, and Uncle Qiu immediately said: "My hairpin, I want to change it to a wooden hairpin, and I pinned this silver hairpin on my head again, so I quickly went to change it." ”

Xiaoyue jumped out of the carriage: "I still have a silk scarf, I thought about it last night and embroidered two more stitches!" resting on the edge of the bed. ”

After Lin Piao stared at them for a while, he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage: "Wait for me, I didn't take the snack box!" ”

Lin Piao ran into the yard, and saw a round food box placed in a corner of the food preparation table, opened it and confirmed it, it was the snack box he prepared yesterday, which was full of all kinds of small jars, each small jar was stuffed with all kinds of snacks, oil-soaked jerky, pork jerky, fried small fish, chopped small pieces of roast chicken and roast duck, they had no place to eat lunch on the way, and they had to bring something to pass the stomach in the car.

They took all sorts of things, hurried back to the carriage, and finally set off again.

The carriage in front was Lin Piao and his second aunt Qiu Shu Xiaoyue Juan'er sitting together, and the carriage in the back was Ergou and Da Zhuang staying with Xing Li, and the last carriage was full of Xing Li and a coachman.

The carriage walked towards the familiar road, swaying along the way, Lin Piao looked at the dirt road that had not been walked for a long time, the surrounding scenery was very familiar and desolate, the road they had walked countless times before, now it seemed so narrow, it was able to walk the road of two ox carts, how could it become so narrow all of a sudden.

Lin Piao observed for a while: "Isn't it that this mountain road is a bit landslided, and it looks like the road is much narrower." ”

The second aunt said with a smile: "It's the road in the county capital and the state capital that is too wide, I never thought it before, but now when I look at it, I also think that this road is very narrow." ”

They chatted in the carriage all the way, and when they were hungry, they would eat something prepared in advance, and the most talked about in the carriage was the problems of Xiaoyue and Juan'er.

"You go back to your family and say, there is a question that must be said, that is, if you go to a big place, you can get better opportunities for your life's events, and you may have a completely different life, you know?"

In this era, the most important thing is the issue of marriage, so we must talk about it on the grounds of marriage.

Children go out too far, hoping to marry as close as possible, this problem is not to mention in this era, even in modern times, there are parents who still bless this kind of thinking, and they are not willing to let their children go, so they must draw cakes on the points they care about.

For example, there will be better development, better marriage, and all the focus will be on a point that will bring a better life to the family.

It would be more effective to start with their pre-existing ideas and loosen their ideas with their own ideas.

Xiaoyue and Juan'er nodded again and again, in fact, they were also very panicked, they were not like Da Zhuang, and Uncle Qiu was going to follow together, so there was no problem at all, there was no concern at all, but they were going to leave their hometown and leave their parents to go out, which was a difficult thing for them to feel in their hearts at present.

But they want to go out, and there is no one in the family who doesn't want to go out, and they all know that the outside is better, and they all know that if they continue to live together, they can live faster.

Xiao Yue and Juan'er had this kind of thought in their hearts, especially because they felt that they were sorry for their parents who could not live at home, and they bought almost all the money they had saved to give to their families, and they also gave their mothers a set of silver jewelry, silver hairpins, silver bracelets, and silver earrings.

Xiaoyue and Juan'er also discussed, planning to discuss with the family first, if they are willing to go to the county government to live, they will exchange all the things they have for money, and find a yard for the family to settle in the county government, so that they can also live in the county government, so that they can go to the state capital, and the family can come to the county government, which can be regarded as a promising life.

The carriage swayed, the curtains were lifted to both sides, Lin Piao was afraid of motion sickness, he kept looking at the scenery and the road outside, and the scenery in front of him became more and more familiar, and he was about to arrive at a glance.

After walking a little further, you can see the village in the distance from the carriage.

The idlers of the village were wandering about after lunch, and wanted to talk to the widow at the head of the village, and their hearts were itching, and they did not want to leave without saying anything, so they spun around the neighborhood, like a dog on a leash, and could not go anywhere else.

While he was pondering what to do to help the widow with the carpenter, he looked up and saw a carriage approaching the village, and when he entered some of them, he was even more stunned.

He hurriedly shouted, "Come out and see!" Come out and see! Here came three carriages! Here comes the rich man! ”

As soon as he called, the people in the nearby courtyard leaned out to see the excitement, squinting and looking out: "Who is this?" So magnificent? Can we still have this kind of person in our village? Don't be the county here, right? ”

"Who is being accused? The county has come to arrest people? ”

Everyone looked left and right, and they all said that it could not be themselves, and after thinking about it, their eyes were fixed on the idler: "Are you stealing again?" ”

The idler was taken aback: "What! Don't talk nonsense! When have I ever stolen something! ”

The three carriages got closer and closer, until they stopped at the gate of the village, Lin Piao and the others jumped out of the car, and the people in the village looked at them dumbfounded.

"This ...... This is Lin Piao and his second sister-in-law Zheng Qiu, right? ”

"Yes! It's them! Oh my God, this is really magnificent, this dress is brand new, just look at the material, it's still a set. ”

Lin Piao and his second aunt, Uncle Qiu, got out of the carriage first, and they knew a lot of people along the way, so they all had to say hello, so they had to sit in the carriage all the time, and let the coachman park the carriage at the door of their yard first, and then send the things they brought to their respective homes.

A few of the children did not get out of the car, and planned to go home first, to unload their things, and then to meet the people who should be visited, but when they came up, they did not know when they would be able to get home, especially these things, and they also knew in their hearts that if there were more people who came up, they saw that they had brought so many things back, and this one wanted a little, and the other said that they wanted something, and they were thin-skinned and could not refuse, and they were afraid that they would suffer a great loss.

The three carriages continued to move forward, and Lin Piao and the second aunt Zheng Qiu slowly greeted acquaintances on the road and walked.

"Why did you come back all of a sudden? Isn't this a New Year's holiday? Is something wrong? The people on the side asked curiously.

Lin Piao was not happy when he heard this, and waved his hand: "What's the matter, that is, Shen Hong has been lifted and Erzhu has also been lifted, and they are busy outside and cannot come back for the time being. ”

The effect of this sentence was no different from the effect of a □□ thrown into the water, and the people around him were so shocked that they could not speak, and they were full of uproar and envy.

"Oh my God...... God...... This...... This. ”

"Erzhu? Is it the second pillar of the second sister-in-law's family? ”

"Hit? This is the case, and it seems that it hasn't been long since I went out. ”

"It's not been long there, it's been three years! Shen Hong is also seventeen years old. ”

Lin Piao smiled: "It's really seventeen, it's almost a month, and it's seventeen years old as soon as the year passes, plus the virtual age, it's going to be twenty people, how can you not read some grades." ”

The second aunt also smiled with the people around her: "Which other two pillars, that is, the second pillar of my family, I expected him to study well, but unfortunately it is not a reading material, and later I saw that he loves to practice martial arts, and he couldn't stop it, so he let him practice, who knows that he walked very well on this road, and he passed the test all the way, I didn't expect it, this blink of an eye will become a martial arts person, where is the thing I dare to think!" ”

The people on the side saw the three of them walking together, and their eyes looked at Zheng Qiu: "Zheng Qiu, what did you get into the big strong test?" Why didn't I hear you mention it? ”

Zheng Qiu lowered his head and smiled: "There is nothing to say, he is not a person who can take the test, so he simply won't let him read, he can read a few words, just read a book at home, and now he is learning to make a living, earn some money by himself, and make enough to make a living, and his life is relaxed." ”

The people on the side saw that Da Zhuang had not been admitted to anything, and their hearts were much more balanced, but when they heard him say that Da Zhuang was learning to make a living, and that he could make a living with the money he earned, he thought that Da Zhuang could earn money to support his family at such a young age, and his heart was full of pantothenic acid.

On the contrary, they didn't dare to sour Lin Piao, Shen Hong was originally a promising child, their whole village knew about this, Lin Piao was also a powerful person, he had big ideas in his eyes, and he usually went for money, and at the beginning they could secretly ridicule people like Lin Piao, who only knew how to stare at money, and only knew how to stare at the people above.

But after a long time, seeing Lin Piao getting better and better, they scolded him for being snobbish, and felt that it was normal for snobbery to come out, but after a long time, he had nothing to say, especially Lin Piao's personality was erratic, there were soft knives and hard knives, and the villagers except for praising Shen Hong's promising, where did they dare to sour anything, for fear that he would really settle accounts with them.

But Zheng Qiu is different, Zheng Qiu has always been a good bully, in the village is the worst life, regardless of the male or female or brother, when he sees Zheng Qiu, he wants to say pity in his heart, but this only promise, who has always been inferior to them, is actually so glamorous? Like Lin Piao, he was wearing new clothes, and his skin was much whiter than before, and he didn't know how much smoother, and a clear-eyed person could see at a glance that he had lived a good life in the county government!

They asked Zheng Qiu about his man, openly and secretly ordered him, told him to be careful of being beaten and not to be arrogant, and asked him if his man had come to the door when he was in the county government and if he had been beaten again, and then looked at Zheng Qiu with his eyes to see if Zheng Qiu had an embarrassed expression on his face.

However, Zheng Qiu is no longer the same as Zheng Qiu of the past, and he has never seen any kind of people outside, and he can still see the thoughts of these people that cannot be concealed, nor does he respond, but only says that life in the county government is okay, and he knows a lot about food and clothing, and he talks about things that no one around him has ever heard of, which makes them even more uncomfortable to hear.

When they arrived at the gate of their own courtyard, the students inside heard the sound and ran out to see the excitement, all of them stood outside, and when they saw Lin Piao, they called their sister-in-law, some of them knew Lin Piao, some came late, they didn't know Lin Piao at all, they were just screaming.

Lin Piao raised his eyes and looked over, and saw Dasheng standing in the front, Dasheng looked not as dark as before, he had grown a lot taller, he looked mature and steady, and when he walked in front of him, he respectfully saluted Lin Piao: "Little sister-in-law." ”

"Don't be so strict, just go in and sit."

Before Lin Piao entered the door, he was mentally prepared for the dilapidated and ruined house, after all, after all these years, there were still so many students inside, and he didn't know what would happen when he made a fuss.

As soon as Lin Piao walked in, he was very surprised to see the scenery inside, the yard was very clean and tidy, and there was basically no difference when they left here, the students' desks were placed in the courtyard and the hall, but the doors and windows of the surrounding rooms were closed.
