18 Chapter XVIII
Cui Yaoguang's eyes lit up, he rubbed the oiled paper bag under the pillow, raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth indiscriminately, propped up the edge of the bed and moved his butt to get out of bed, standing staggering like a crab with trembling strands, shouting at the top of his voice: "Auntie, Auntie!" ”
Cheng Zi'an was inexplicable and asked, "What are you calling your second aunt for?" ”
Cui Yaoguang squeezed his eyes from Cheng Zi'an, and was busy looking out of the door. Soon, Fang's hurried footsteps came along with the sound of speaking: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
"Auntie, I'm hungry, I'm in pain!" Cui Yaoguang saw Fang enter the room and immediately lay on the bed, his shoulders twitching and crying.
Fang's heart was so distressed that he didn't know what to do, he stepped forward with his hands, picked up Cui Yaoguang's shirt and was about to check: "What's the injury, your father is too, it's too heavy, let A-Niang take a look." ”
Cui Yaoguang pressed his clothes tightly, twisted like a caterpillar, and hissed: "Auntie, I'm in pain, I'm ashamed to see people!" Auntie, I'm hungry! ”
Fang Shi couldn't move, so he was anxious to comfort him: "What my son wants to eat, I will order someone to make it for you." ”
Cui Yaoguang continued to howl: "I want to go out to eat soup and rice by myself, Auntie, you give me money." ”
Fang Shi was stunned for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "Your father said it, let you reflect on it at home....." Cui Yaoguang instantly raised her voice, and she immediately changed her words: "Okay, how can you be hungry, you just buy some food in the alley, and you will come back immediately!" ”
Cui Yaoguang sobbed and said It's better to be a Niang, got up and spread his hand towards the Fang family, and the lion opened his mouth and said, "A Niang give me a tael of silver." ”
Fang slapped his hand in disgust and said, "Just eat a bowl of soup and rice at the tea shop in the alley, how can you get a tael of silver, and carefully your father will beat you again." ”
Cui Yaoguang replied and urged: "Auntie, go and get me money, I'm so hungry that I can't stand." ”
Fang Shi said okay, turned around and walked out quickly.
Cheng Zi'an was dumbfounded, Cui Wu was not there, Cui Yaoguang really took the Fang family to death, no wonder Cui Wu's stick was useless.
This trick can be learned, but I don't know if it can be used on Cui Suniang.
Cui Yaoguang raised his chin proudly at him, and said majestically: "Go!" ”
It's just that Cui Yaoguang's buttocks hurt, and he walked like a swaying duck, rushing his momentum away without a trace, Cheng Zi'an followed behind him, looking at his back and laughing with a sore belly.
Fang took fifty big coins and handed them to Cui Yaoguang, and he didn't worry about telling him: "You should be careful...... I'll ask Aunt Xia to buy it for you...... Okay, okay, you go by yourself, you go by yourself, come back early after eating, don't take Zi'an to be naughty...... Zi Anduo looks at your third brother, don't let him go out and make trouble......"
Cui Yaoguang responded impatiently, took the money and walked out of the door, muttering and complaining: "A-Niang is really verbose!" ”
Cheng Zi'an looked at Cui Yaoguang, he had eaten a lot of pig's head meat before, and he was definitely not hungry, and asked, "Third brother, where are we going?" ”
Cui Yaoguang put the money in the money bag and said mysteriously: "Let's go to the Xiang family's candied fruit and dried fruit shop, and the eldest brother is probably also there at this time." The eldest brother has to go to see Xiang Sanniang several times a day to buy some candied dried fruits. The Xiang family's shop is mostly covered by the eldest brother, and the idlers and gangsters dare not disturb. ”
Cheng Zi'an hesitated, grabbed Cui Yaoguang and said, "Let's not go, what if the eldest brother gets angry?" ”
Cui Yaoguang patted his chest and said, "I'm afraid, so let's go buy candied fruits and dried fruits." Also, Xiang Boming is still a student of your school, so you just say that you can just go and play with your classmates. ”
There are more students in Fuxue, Cheng Zi'an doesn't know what Xiang Boming is, and he is afraid that Cui Yaoguang will be beaten by Cui Wu and then by Cui Yaozu.
Cui Yaoguang's face fell, and he said indignantly: "That Xiang Boming is a good student, and the neighbors say that he has a good future, and he will definitely be able to go to high school in the future." A-Niang often counts me down, but she can't wait for Xiang Boming to be her biological son. ”
Cheng Zi'an saw Cui Yaoguang's resentment soaring into the sky, and couldn't help but want to laugh. It seems that the Xiang family's orphans and widows' shops can be safe and sound, not all because of Cui Yaoguang's identity as a fast catcher, and the majesty of Xiang Boming's good study.
The two came to the vicinity of the Xiang family's shop, Cui Yaozu was not there, a petite and feminine girl in a cloth shirt, pulling a young man in a silk shirt who was half a head taller than her, was talking anxiously.
The young man's face was full of fear, he raised his hand to shake off the girl, snatched the purse from the girl's other hand, and ran away with the hem of the robe.
The girl was so anxious that she chased a few steps, and when she saw that the boy had turned around the corner of the alley and disappeared, she slowly stopped, bit her lip and looked at it for a while, and then turned and walked towards the shop. The girl was carrying someone on her back, and Cheng Zi'an didn't see it clearly, whether she was wiping her tears or sweat when she raised her hand.
Cui Yaoguang poked Cheng Zi'an's arm and said, "That's Xiang Sanniang, you are good-looking, but the eldest brother is dizzy." Hehe, no matter how the eldest aunt scolds, the eldest brother will not let go. ”
Cheng Zi'an sighed, frowned slightly, and asked, "The young man before was Xiang Boming?" ”
Cui Yaoguang pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "It's that kid." He must have taken money from the shop again and went to play with his friends who didn't make it. He lowered his head and pulled the half-worn muslin shirt on his body, and the corners of his mouth almost fell to the ground, "You look at the clothes on his body, I don't know him, and I think he is the young master of a rich and noble family." ”
can be considered by Cui Yaoguang, who is not successful, and it is estimated that Xiang Boming's friends are all genuine. Cheng Zi was relieved, Xiang Boming is the only male in the Xiang family, he is good at reading, and he must be a big baby in the palm of his hand in the Xiang family, and he will give whatever he wants.
However, Cheng Zi'an asked: "Xiang Boming is so good at studying, why didn't the eldest aunt agree to marry Xiang Sanniang?" ”
Cui Yaoguang said: "I overheard the eldest aunt and A-Niang crying, saying that Bo Ming didn't even pass the exam, who knows if he can be admitted to Chunqiu in the future." The money that Xiang Sanniang made by showing up outside was all provided for Xiang Boming to study. In the future, if the eldest brother marries Xiang Sanniang, the Cui family will not be allowed to become the Xiang family. ”
Helping his younger brother, Cheng Zi'an understood Xu's worries.
I didn't see Cui Yaozu, it was too hot outside, so the two ate an ice bowl and went home together.
When Cui Wu came back in the evening, he saw Cui Yaoguang obediently staying in the house, reprimanded him a few words, and let him out for dinner with great mercy and compassion.
didn't take a nap at noon, Cheng Zi'an fell asleep after dinner. In a daze, as if hearing a quarrel, he rolled over and went back to sleep.
The next time, Zhen and Cui Suniang entered the city to pick up Cheng Zi'an and go home. He hadn't played enough, he didn't want to go, and he was blinded by Cheng Zhen and slipped into the donkey cart.
After a while, Cui Suniang's eyes were red, and Cheng Zi'an couldn't help asking, "A-Niang, what's wrong?" ”
Cui Suniang sighed and said, "I'm fine." ”
Cheng Zhen furrowed his eyebrows, glared at him and said, "Adults, don't worry so much about children." ”
Cheng Zi'an rolled his eyes secretly, Cheng Zhen looked like everything was as usual, it was definitely not his own family's trouble. Before leaving, Cui Suniang and Xu entered the house and talked for a while, remembering the quarrel they heard last night, and it was estimated that something had happened to the Cui family.
When he got home, Cheng Zhen asked Cheng Zi'an to go back to the house to review his homework, and then pulled Cui Suniang aside to comfort him.
Cheng Zi'an rolled his eyes, quietly slipped out of the door, and squatted under the window lattice of the east house to eavesdrop.
Cheng Zhen's voice was so gentle that he almost wanted to drip, and said, "You, you just worry too much." Yaozu is old, it is a good thing to have his own ideas, and sooner or later, he will be able to understand the hard work of his parents. ”
Cui Suniang quenched her mouth and said, "I'm worrying too much!" ”
Cheng Zhen hurriedly made amends, and said yes even after saying yes, the lady reprimanded correctly, and Cheng Zi'an's teeth were sore when he heard it.
Cui Suniang laughed and said quietly: "My sister-in-law pulled me to cry, saying that she couldn't resist Yaozu, so she asked someone to go to Xiang's house to find out." If the Xiang family is interested, the sister-in-law will grit her teeth and agree to this family business. Who knew that the Mao family actually pushed back, and praised her son out of flowers, under the pretext that Xiang Sanniang was still young, and she wanted to stay at home for a while longer, and discuss it until the next year. Xiang Sanniang is half a year older than Yaozu, even if she is reluctant to have her daughter and wants to stay at home for a few more years, it doesn't hurt to make a decision in advance. The sister-in-law said that Mao's didn't say anything to death, it depends on the situation of you and your brother-in-law's spring list, if you all pass the exam, this family business will be successful. If you don't pass the exam, Mao's heart is very high, and this family business will be yellow. Yaozu was willing to wait, but the sister-in-law was angry, and quarreled with her again last night. The eldest brother said that it was a matter of the children's relatives, but the children did not agree, and it would not be good in the future, so he persuaded the sister-in-law to take care of it. ”
Cheng Zi'an snickered when he heard it, and Cheng Zhen's head added another layer of responsibility.
Cui Yaozu's happiness in the future depends on him.
One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, no wonder Fan Jinzhong can go crazy.
Cheng Zi'an looked at the sunny sky, and rarely folded his hands and prayed sincerely that Cheng Zhen could pass the exam.
After all, his future life as a gentleman will also depend on Cheng Zhen.
Suddenly, Cheng Zhen's angry shout sounded above his head: "What are you doing here?" ”
Cheng Zi'an raised his head and smiled innocently: "Daddy, I'm looking for insects to play on the ground." ”
Cheng Zhen blackened his face and scolded: "Such a big person, still playing with insects, go back to the house and study!" If you don't do well in the exam after the holiday, see if I don't clean you up. ”
Cheng Zi'an responded obediently, but took Cheng Zhen's threat as the wind in his ears, and went back to the house to sleep.
The vacation passed quickly, and Cheng Zi'an returned to his bitter student career.
In the exam after the holiday, Cheng Zi'an lived up to expectations, in addition to arithmetic, the words no longer lacked arms and legs.
In several other courses, he once again sent the year with Zhang Qixin and competed for the throne of the last three.
Cheng Zhen came to pick up Cheng Zi'an home, he greeted Mr. Zhou and them as usual, and Cheng Zi'an couldn't see whether he was in a good or bad mood.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and in the evening it is still hot. Cheng Zi'an pinched a cold sweat, followed the silent Cheng Zhen nervously, and kept looking at his back.
Cheng Zhen seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and he didn't look back and said calmly: "I won't beat you again, and I won't care about you anymore." Whether you are good or bad in the future, I will go with you. ”
Cheng Zi'an was stunned, is this giving up on him?
