4 Chapter IV
Simingshan Mansion School is more than ten miles away from Fucheng, less than two miles away from Cheng Zi'an's home Qingtan Village, he walks to school in the morning and evening, and arrives in less than half an hour.
After descending the mountain, you will go around the foot of the mountain and you will find an open flat area. The villages are staggered, and the golden waves of wheat in the fields dance with the wind. Green rice, nodding in response.
Ninety percent of the wheat and rice that grow well belong to the Cheng family.
Grass houses and green tile houses, fence courtyard walls and tall blue brick courtyard walls are mixed, both poor and rich.
In the gap in the fence courtyard wall, the brilliant roses stretched out diagonally, and on the blue brick courtyard wall, the sharp broken porcelain pieces shimmered with cold light in the afterglow.
Cheng's family is in the east of the village, with seven wide blue brick houses, which are among the best in the village.
After entering the village, the villagers who returned home from the fields stopped from time to time, smiled with restraint and awe, and greeted Cheng Zhen.
Although they are all tenants of the Cheng family, Cheng Zhen is still extremely polite, smiling and greeting one by one. Cheng Zi'an could only laugh along, and he was in a nervous mood, but he laughed all the way to the front of the house, his face was numb with laughter, and his mood became calmer.
The old servant Lao Zhang walked to the cowshed and the donkey pen with the forage, and Cheng Zhen's little servant Qingchuan was Lao Zhang's son, so he tucked the hem of his shirt to his waist and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
On the chimney of the roof, cooking smoke curls. Lao Zhang's wife, Aunt Qin, was busy in front of the stove, and greeted the maid Yunduo who was burning the fire in a loud voice: "Add more firewood to make the fire." ”
The clouds replied with a good grin, and then it was lively, and the smell of rice wine was stimulated, and the aroma was tangy.
Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the eel is the fattest, and it seems that there is Cheng Zi'an's favorite oil eel silk for dinner.
Cheng Zhen didn't say anything along the way, which was unpredictable.
"Let's fight again when you're done." Cheng Zi'an had no other thoughts, and secretly poked and looked forward to it.
Cui Suniang walked out of the main house, saw Cheng Zhen was also stunned, a smile appeared on her gentle and beautiful face, hurriedly went down the steps, stepped forward and asked, "Why did his father come back?" ”
Cheng Zhen and Cui Suniang grew up as childhood sweethearts, Cheng Zi'an's maternal grandfather was also a lifter, but unfortunately he lacked luck and has not been able to enter the Jinshi, and later became a teacher, and Cheng Zhen was enlightened in his hands.
The relationship between the two is very good, and the Cheng population is withering, and it has been passed down for several generations. Cui Suniang was injured when she gave birth to Cheng Zi'an and could not regenerate.
At that time, Cheng's mother was still there, and Cheng Zhen was promising, so he secretly persuaded him to accept another concubine to open up branches for the Cheng family, but he politely refused.
"It didn't matter much, so I went home early and went to the house to study." Cheng Zhen replied with a smile, then his face changed, and he said to Cheng Zi'an in a deep voice: "Don't go down and wash yet!" ”
Cui Suniang took a closer look at Cheng Zi'an and smiled.
Cheng Zi'an's clothes were crumpled, and they were covered with stains. The bag on the head is on the right. The hands were dark, and the rounded jaw was also dipped in ink.
I clean up and go out in the morning, and when I come home in the evening, I am always dirty. Cui Suniang was angry and funny, pulled him to the stove room, and said angrily: "Naughty in the school again, made your father angry?" ”
Cheng Zhen frowned, stopped Cui Suniang and said, "It's so big, let him wash it himself." ”
The Cheng family is a typical strict father and mother's home, Cheng Zhen is no more than two years older than Cheng Zi'an in his previous life, and he is strict, Cheng Zi'an subconsciously resists and is not close to him.
Cui Suniang is different, her mother's natural warmth, who can refuse. Although it was a short time, Cheng Zi'an still couldn't help but rely on her, and when he heard the words, he hugged Cui Suniang's arm as if he was provocative.
Seeing this, Cheng Zhen raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to reprimand.
Cui Su Niang's phoenix eyes were waved, and she looked at Cheng Zhen Yingying. Cheng Zhen's words were blocked in his throat, and he could only snort.
The ink is not easy to wash, Cheng Zi'an was rubbed and grinned, there was still a faint ink mark on his chin, and the little fat hands with nests on the back of his hands were even more mottled with ink marks.
The main house had already been lit, Cheng Zi'an changed his clothes and came out, and saw that Cheng Zhen had also changed into half-worn regular clothes, holding a book and reading.
Aunt Qin and Yun Duo were busy setting up the food, the lights in the house were flickering, and the food was fragrant.
If Cheng Zhen looked at him better, he would be happy right now.
Cheng Zhen disliked Cheng Zi'an, put down the book and came to the desk, ready to eat.
Cui Suniang doted on Cheng Zi'an and kept holding him eel. Cheng Zi'an left Cheng Zhen's attitude behind him, and buried his head in eating sweetly.
After eating, Cheng Zhen was accustomed to taking Cheng Zi'an for a walk with Cui Suniang to eat. At night, the village is lively and peaceful, with frogs chirping and insects chirping, and occasionally a few dogs barking.
The Cheng family is relatively wealthy, unlike other rural families who grow vegetables in the yard, Cui Suniang likes flowers and plants, so Cheng Zhen made the vacant land into a garden. Iris, peony, gardenia, impatiens, begonias in all seasons, compete with each other, and the fragrance is fragrant.
Cheng Zhen pulled up the hem of his shirt, picked the impatiens and put them inside, and smiled at Cui Suniang: "Wait a minute, I'll dye your nails for you." ”
Cui Suniang pursed her lips and smiled.
Cheng Zi'an put his hands on his sleeves and looked indifferently at the bright stars in the sky.
They were sprinkling dog food, leaving him uneasy.
Cheng Zhen must have done it on purpose.
The two whispered for a while, and Cui Suniang suddenly asked, "I heard that there is an exam in the school today, how did you do in the exam?" ”
came and came, and when he finally mentioned himself, Cheng Zi'an immediately tensed his nerves.
Cheng Zhen squinted at Cheng Zi'an, and said coldly: "It's stubborn, and your homework is a mess." ”
No way!
Cheng Zi'an's eyes widened and he stared at Cheng Zhen in disbelief.
He's obviously improved!
Although Cui Suniang is loving, she never interferes with Cheng Zhen and Cheng Zi'an's learning. Hearing this, she just sighed slightly, and then fell silent.
Cheng Zi'an had no helper, he suddenly became anxious, and said loudly: "I obviously did better than before, and Mr. Zhou said that I have made great progress!" ”
Cheng Zhen grimaced and said sternly: "You dare to quibble!" You can call it progress, the big characters are a mess, the pen is missing and the stroke is missing, this is also your progress? ”
Cheng Zi'an's mouth opened, his arrogance lowered, and he was annoyed.
Mr. Zhou, they will open the net, but Cheng Zhen will not.
Cheng Zhen continued: "You take the lead in making noise in the classroom, this is also your progress? ”
Cheng Zi'an had nothing to love, confessed Xin Jinian, and retorted: "Xin Jinian made the most trouble, Fang Yin's clothes were ripped off by him, and he beat people with his fists. Before Mr. could ask, Daddy came. ”
Cui Suniang sighed worriedly, and hurriedly asked, "Fang Yin was bullied?" ”
Cheng Zi'an said yes loudly, and said indignantly: "It's not the first time that Xin Jinian has bullied Fang Yin, just ask and you can find out." Fang Yin was very pitiful, and no one helped him. When I left, he was still kept by my husband. His home is far away from the school, and it is dark at night, what should he do if he falls down the mountain? ”
Cheng Zhen saw Fang Yin's condition and never said a word from beginning to end.
Cheng Zi'an didn't want to talk back, he wanted to test Cheng Zhen's attitude towards this.
Cheng Zhen was expressionless, handed the impatiens in his shirt to Cui Suniang, and said, "You take it back." ”
Cui Suniang glanced at the father and son, took the flowers and went back to the house.
Cheng Zhen looked solemn, casually broke a begonia branch, and scolded coldly: "Stretch out your hand!" ”
Cheng Zi'an cried and chirped, looking up to the sky and wailing.
No way?
And beat him up?
By no means is the reason for the exam.
But why did you hit him?
