Chapter 9 Medium Lift 1
At the end of July, Jiang Wenyuan packed his luggage and prepared to go to Fucheng to participate in the Autumn Festival.
The autumn season starts on the ninth day of August, and the exams are held on August 9, 12 and 15 for three consecutive days.
Qingzhou County takes four days to get to the capital of Lingzhou.
Jiang Wenyuan and several classmates who were taking the exam, led by the head of the county school and a student politician, set off on the second day of August to take the exam.
Lingzhou Prefecture is located in the south of Great Xia, and the climate is warm and humid.
Although August has entered autumn, the autumn tiger is still vicious.
Jiang Yuqing felt that on such a hot day, one exam took three days and three exams in a row. Eating and drinking Lazar are all in a palm-sized room, which is really inhumane.
Exams are like fighting a war, and the logistics of going to the battlefield can't keep up. She had to figure out a way to prepare something for Daddy.
Jiang Yuqing's consciousness sneaked into the spiritual realm, picking and choosing, and finally scooped out a bag of things that she thought she could use.
A mosquito repellent sachet of pure Chinese medicine, valid for one month. With this, there is no fear of mosquito infestation.
Two boxes of cooling oil, this thing not only relieves itching, applies a dot on the temples, but also reminds the mind, which is absolutely essential.
In view of the fact that there is no fire in the room, and only boiling water is provided in the examination room, a box of instant noodles of various flavors will be prepared for eating, and then accompanied by mustard ham sausage and braised eggs, which is fast, simple and delicious.
Regardless of whether nutrition is nutritious or not, at least you can eat something hot.
When you enter the examination room, you have to go through a strict body search, and the things you can bring are limited, these things are good enough, and any more will be eye-catching.
Jiang Yuqing did not remove the outer packaging of the food.
Her current small body is only more than five months old, and it is still too early to speak.
The package is printed with instructions, although it is simplified, but with the cleverness of Jiang Wenyuan and Lu, even guessing with Meng can read eight or nine.
Sure enough, Jiang Wenyuan and his wife saw this pile of things, and then according to the font and pictures on the packaging, they successfully guessed the purpose of these things.
While feeling the magic of this fairy thing, he hugged his baby daughter and kissed him.
Then, Jiang. Milk packs. Yuqing was forced to accept a baptism of love from his parents and even his grandparents.
Alas, what a sweet burden!
After being surprised, the couple removed the packaging of the food, wrapped it in dried lotus leaves, and wrapped it in a layer of oiled paper.
Even the cool oil was dug out and carefully packed in a pocket bamboo box. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
In terms of protecting their daughter, the couple did not leak. In other words, the elders of the Jiang family will subconsciously hide the child's strangeness.
On the second day of the eighth lunar month, Jiang Wenyuan, in the ardent anticipation of the whole family, embarked on the road to Fucheng with several classmates.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, because Jiang Wenyuan was in the examination room. Faced with the table full of good dishes, in addition to the fragrant food of the children, the adults of the Jiang family were a little absent-minded.
Old man Jiang took a sip of soju and suddenly sighed: "I don't know how the third child is?" ”
Jiang Wenkang put down his chopsticks and said, "Calculate the time, today is just the third test." When the list is released, it will be at least the beginning of next month. ”
"Hmm!" Old man Jiang didn't speak again, bowed his head and ate the vegetables. Jiang Yuqing saw that the atmosphere was a little sluggish, and wanted to liven up the atmosphere, so he stretched his little arm at Old Man Jiang and asked him to hug him: "Ahhhh "Grandpa hug.
Seeing this, the old man Jiang happily hugged his granddaughter: "Ouch, grandpa's good baby, come and hug grandpa!" ”
Xiao Tuanzi's fat arms hugged Old Man Jiang's neck, and a pair of small meat hands gently patted Grandpa's shoulders to show comfort: "Ahhhh "Grandpa, don't worry, it's okay.
Daddy is so experienced, he will definitely be able to pass the exam.
Old man Jiang was immediately comforted. is still a baby granddaughter intimate, so little old to know how to comfort him, unlike those stinky boys, they know to bury their heads in cooking.
Hum! It's really unproductive.
In the anxiety of the Jiang family, the time came to the beginning of September.
The sweet grapefruit in the yard had turned yellow, and the branches had been bent thickly.
Although this fruit is not as big as the day Jiang Yuqing was born, it is much better than in previous years.
Afraid that the fruit would crush the branches, Lao Hu also asked his sons to cut the forks of the tree and were stunned one by one.
These days, the children in the family always look up a few times from time to time.
Lao Hu felt that he could pick it, and the greedy boys in the province couldn't resist the temptation.
Poking the grapefruit is a small matter, and Huo Huo is a big thing about the grapefruit tree.
This old pomelo tree has been raised for more than 30 years, and now it can produce hundreds of large pomelos every year, and the taste is good, and it can be sold for a lot of money, even if it hurts a branch, she is distressed.
At dinner, Lao Hu announced the news.
Listening to the explanation, the children of the Jiang family were excited to pick grapefruit after school.
The next day, the third day of the new year. Balmy autumn day. Early in the morning, magpies sing in the grapefruit trees.
After breakfast, the boys of the Jiang family went out to school as usual.
Old man Jiang took his two sons to the field to weed.
The rice had been harvested, and the vacated fields had been planted with peas, broad beans, turnips, cabbage, and some vegetables that could survive in winter. Now, the vegetables have grown, and the grass has grown taller.
Lao Hu brought a pot of chicken food to feed the chickens in the backyard, and the three daughters-in-law of the Jiang family brought a small bench to make female celebrities under the grapefruit tree.
It will be cold in another month, and the winter clothes and shoes that should be made must be made quickly.
In previous years, the money at home was tight, and the cotton clothes and quilts were not changed for many years, and they were not warm for a long time.
This year, thanks to the blessing of the little good baby in the family, Lao Hu has money in his hands and decides to make a new cotton coat for everyone.
Jiang Yuqing lay in her exclusive baby cradle, listening to the shortcomings of her beautiful mothers and aunts, while looking at the carvings on the cradle boredly.
The cradle was specially given to her by the second uncle, and the guardrail was carved with exquisite flowers, birds and beasts, wide and large.
The bottom of the bassinet is also equipped with wheels, which are more like small cribs than rocking blue.
Two small white spots finally popped up on her jaw a few days ago.
Because of her teeth, she always felt itchy gums, and she wanted to bite anything she saw, but this time she wanted to bite her fingers again.
Although I felt a little embarrassed, I struggled a few times and didn't resist the baby's instinct.
As soon as the little meat hand was stuffed into her mouth, she immediately felt satisfied, what a weird heart.
Forget it, destroy it! Completely rotten! Shame on face, no one will laugh at her anyway.
"The fruit of this tree grows so well!" Suddenly, a voice said. Jiang Yuqing listened carefully, it was a magpie talking.
"It's good, but it's a pity that the skin is too thick for us to peck open." There was some regret in his tone. This is another magpie.
Jiang Yuqing was instantly overjoyed, her ability to communicate with birds and beasts in her previous life was really still there.
"Ahhhh Hi birds, hello!
The two birds were startled when they suddenly heard someone talking to them.
After looking at it again, he held it to Jiang Yuqing who was lying in the crib. They found that the scent of this human baby was very good, and it made them feel very comfortable, like the breath of Mother Earth.
But she's obviously a human being.
A black-feathered long-tailed magpie hesitated, but finally couldn't resist the temptation to fly down from the grapefruit tree and stop on the railing of the crib.
Black bean-like eyes looked at Jiang Yuqing in the crib in surprise.
"Chirp." Are you calling me? You can understand us.
"Ahhhh Yes, not surprised, not surprised.
"Chirp." You are beautiful, and your breath smells good, like the breath of life of Mother Earth.
"Ahhhh That is, I'm the best-looking kid in Nishitsudu. Jiang Yuqing said very stinky fart. "Ahhhhh Can we be friends, I like you.
"Chirp." Will you hurt me?
"Ahhhhh Of course not. We're friends, aren't we? ”
"Chirp." Alright then, I'm willing to be your friend. And, I like you too.
"Ahhhhh My name is Jiang Yuqing, my family likes to call me good baby, you can also call me Qingqing.
"Chirp." Then I'll call you Qingqing, but I don't have a name. The magpie was a little sad.
"Ahhhhh Shall I give you a name?
"Chirp" Okay, thank you.
"Ahhhhh Your race is magpies, so do you like it?
"Chirp." Happy? I love the name! From now on, I'll call you Xixi, you're so good.
It's not like some human cubs who always like to chase us and fight. Many of my friends have been injured by them.
"Ahhhhh That's really sad stuff.
But I promise you that in the future, the people of our family will never hurt you.
You and your friends should also be careful in the wild, and if you encounter a bear child with a slingshot in the future, move away from it.
Then they will not be able to hurt you. Alternatively, you can bring your other friends to my house to play with me.
"Chirp!" Well, I remembered.
It's a little noisy outside, it seems that a lot of people are coming to your house, beating gongs and drums, I'm a little scared, I have to go.
"Ahhhhh Okay, be careful yourself and don't get caught by the bad guys.
If you can't find food and are hungry, come to my house and I'll give you food.
"Chirp!" Good. Thank you Qingqing, I'm leaving. I'll come to you often.
Xixi chirped a few times, flapped her wings and flew away.
The women of the Jiang family saw the children in the blue with pity, dancing and talking to a bird.
The two sides chatted happily.
How do you look at it, how do you think this scene is inexplicably funny, but inexplicably cute and warm.
Until the magpie flew away, no one made a sound to disturb them.
For a moment, Lu even doubted that his daughter could understand bird language. But this is too much to talk about, but considering the strangeness of her daughter, knowing bird language doesn't seem to be a big deal.
At this moment, a faint sound of gongs came from outside. Lin said: "There seems to be a gong!" ”
Zhu said: "Which family is Xu doing a happy event!" ”
As he spoke, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
Two strong men of the same clan who were sweating profusely rushed into the courtyard of the Jiang family and shouted, "A few aunts, a great joy." Our Uncle Wen Yuan was hit, and he was lifted.
The messenger of the good news is almost at the entrance of the village. Rizheng told me to run back and report the news. ”
"Is this true?" Although he was prepared in his heart, when this moment came, Lu couldn't help but have a blank mind, thinking that he was dreaming. Her two sisters-in-law were stupid.
"It's true. It's going to be at the door right away. Li is asking you to hurry up and get ready for happy money! ”
"Okay, I got it!" Lu took a deep breath and reluctantly settled his mind.
The young man who came to report the news said: "Huazi, your seventh grandfather and your two uncles are hoeing grass at the head of the arch bridge, and you are bothered to run and tell them to come back quickly."
Find another quick foot to go to the Silk Bay School, and tell my dad and the boys in my family. ”
Huazi said excitedly: "Brain Shell is going to call me Seventh Grandpa, I'll go to Xiushuiwan." ”
"Good boy, when your uncle comes back, let him invite you to drink."
Hua Zile said: "That feeling is good! Auntie, I'm leaving! With that, he turned around and ran out, but there was no trace for a moment.
The Lu clan said to another stout young man: "Yucai, you go and invite the patriarch and a few clan elders to come over." Another quick guy to help my family fight the artillery battle! ”
"Okay, auntie, I'll go. I'll fight the cannonball, I love it! ”
"Okay, here you go!"
After the two young men left, Lao Hu also came out of the backyard when he heard the movement.
I heard that my son was lifted, and the official messenger who reported the good news was about to arrive at the door, so I was so happy that I didn't know where to put my hands and feet.
