I go to the ancient imperial examinations
Chapter 64
Chapter 64
At night, every household has turned off the lights and slept, but Zhan's house is still bright.
Zhan Feiyu put down the book in his hand and looked at Boss Zhan who was standing at the door with a tired face, "Dad, is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay, Dad just came to see you, it's cold, you need to wear more clothes when reading at night." Boss Zhan said flattered.
During this period of time, Zhan Feiyu has been treated coldly by Zhan Feiyu. Boss Zhan is inevitably a little excited when she sees her face without alienation, but when he thinks of Yao's visit today, Boss Zhan's expression becomes heavy again.
"Xiaoyu." Boss Zhan looked at his daughter under the light. She was still familiar with the facial features, but there was a more calm atmosphere, which reminded Boss Zhan of Master Lin, maybe all scholars.
Zhan Feiyu didn't speak, but poured a glass of water for Boss Zhan and closed the door.
"Xiaoyu, you read well, what should you do about your second aunt?" Boss Zhan asked hesitantly.
Boss Zhan was helpless. After dinner, he went to the main house. Dad kept his head down and smoked a cigarette, and his mother's eyes were swollen from crying. As a son, Boss Zhan looked worried and uncomfortable.
After that, he went to the West Wing again, and looked at Zhan's second child lying in bed and lost his spirits, as if his spirit had been taken away, Zhan's first brother persuaded a few words, but when he thought that Xiao Yao was going to remarry, he brought Dalang Saburo with him. Remarried, Boss Zhan can't say anything.
"Father, then I'll say it." Zhan Feiyu sat down on the chair, and seeing Boss Zhan nodding straight, he said, "Father, although it is difficult for an honest official to break up housework, there are contradictions between the concubines of each family. , but it is fair to say that the source of our Zhan family's quarrel is because of the second aunt."
Li's temperament is kind and gentle, and Ma's from the third room seems to be strong and unwilling to suffer, but he has no brains, so he has a louder voice. Only Xiao Yao is a bit shrewd, calculating, and acting selfishly.
"Your second aunt, she..." As an uncle, Boss Zhan doesn't like to judge his younger siblings, but in his eyes, his parents and brothers are good, and it's naturally Xiao Yao Shi, an outsider who is not good.
Of course, this is also the reason why Zhan's second son usually hides behind and pushes Xiao Yao Shi as a knife messenger.
"So there's nothing wrong with the second aunt remarrying. The twisted melon is not sweet, and the second aunt doesn't want to stay and endure hardship." Zhan Feiyu glanced at the sullen boss Zhan and continued straightforwardly: "But Dalang Saburo can stay, and I can make money by copying books next year."
"Are you willing to keep Dalang and the others?" Boss Zhan looked at Zhan Feiyu in shock, with mixed feelings in his heart. He thought that Xiaoyu was cold-hearted and didn't care about blood kinship. He never thought that Xiaoyu could say these words. Come.
It seems that grandma and second uncle often slandered and slandered themselves in front of their father, Zhan Feiyu laughed at himself, "Father, I will take the county examination in the next year, once I can get a name, the Zeng family will not dare to embarrass us again, two Uncle can also come back, after all, the family has only had a little difficulty in the past two years."
When Boss Zhan left the main room, his worried hair turned white. When he thought of the separation of his wife and ion in the second room, Boss Zhan only hated himself, the eldest brother, who was incompetent and couldn't help his younger brother.
But after listening to Zhan Feiyu's words, Boss Zhan saw hope again, and patted Zhan Feiyu on the shoulder excitedly, "Good little fish, I can rest assured if you say this!"
The boss of Zhan is the old scalper of the Zhan family, who only works hard, and now Zhan Feiyu is his backbone.
"So Dad, you don't have to worry anymore, the second aunt wants to remarry, just let her go. The people who want to leave can't be kept, and the big boss and Saburo will stay. For the past two years, Dad, you have to work harder. After I pass the county test, the family's burden will be over. Leave it to me!" Zhan Feiyu made a promise.
Although Zhan Feiyu was only nine years old two years later, with her talent for reading and the attention given to her by the village clan, Boss Zhan completely believed, "Father is not afraid of hardship or fatigue, Xiaoyu, you should study hard. , Dad won't bother you anymore."
Zhan Feiyu looked at Boss Zhan who was walking away briskly, his originally peaceful and calm expression turned into indifference, hoping that his father would not disappoint himself or his mother.
It was frost, cold and wind in the morning, and the courtyard door of Zhan's house was tightly closed.
Boss Zhan, who has been waking up early all the time, is lying on the bed and hasn't woken up because he has put down his heavy burden. The whole Zhan family is still sleeping except Zhan Feiyu, who wakes up early to study.
Bang bang bang!The courtyard door was patted with a bang, and those who didn't know it thought that a robber had come to the door.
"Father, open the door!" Followed by panicked shouts, Zhan Saburo slammed the courtyard door with his red-hot hands, "Grandpa, grandma, I'm back, open the door..."
Zhan Dalang stood aside with a sullen face, his eyes were gloomy and frightening, and his expression twisted a bit when he looked at the closed courtyard door. He didn't look like a 12-year-old boy at all.
Just when Saburo felt desperate that Zhan's family didn't want him, the courtyard door creaked open from the inside, and Saburo, who slapped the door, almost fell in.
"Little fish?" Saburo looked up blankly at Zhan Feiyu who was supporting him.
The difference between the two is two months, and Zhan Feiyu also let him in on weekdays. When he saw Zhan Feiyu, Saburo burst into tears, "Xiaoyu..."
"Sanlang, brother lobby." Zhan Feiyu shouted.
Zhan Dalang stared at Zhan Feiyu with hatred eyes, old and new hatred flooded into his heart, causing him to clench his fists, but in the end he didn't dare to do anything, just pushed Saburo who was in the way, the big one. Step into it.
Being pushed and staggering, Zhan Saburo stared blankly at the eldest brother who was leaving, his once high-spirited face was only blank and at a loss.
"What are you doing stupidly, come in." Zhan Feiyu said with a smile, the kindness released made Saburo suddenly come back to his senses, then grinned and followed Zhan Feiyu into the door.
Saburo's cries just woke up the Zhan family, and the first ones to come out were the old man Zhan and the old lady Zhan.
"Master, grandma!" Saburo shouted, ran over excitedly, and hugged old Zhan's leg. Compared with his cousin Zhan Feiyu, the grandparents who have always loved him made Saburo feel more secure.
With a crunch, the door of the third room also opened, and the third Zhan walked out while putting on his clothes, "I said it was Saburo's voice, and the whole village can hear this stinky boy crying!"
"Third uncle, I didn't cry!" Zhan Saburo turned around and said, and hugged old man Zhan's leg again.
"Yes, you didn't cry." Third Zhan laughed, raised his hand and smeared his face, "What is this? Cat urine! I bah, why does it still smell like mud."
"You don't think it's dirty either!" Ma glared at the third Zhan angrily, and he didn't even look at Saburo's face, the black mud marks one after another, and his nose was covered with mucus.
Boss Zhan and Mrs. Li also got up.
"Dalang, why are you back?" Boss Zhan asked with concern.
It's early in the morning, and the sky is still bright. It takes at least half an hour to walk from Yao's house to Zhan's house. Could it be that Dalang and the others came back in the dark, thinking of this Boss Zhan's face is a bit ugly, if something goes wrong on the way Accident?
Zhan Dalang glanced at Boss Zhan angrily, and lowered his head again, but his face became cold and distorted. Mother said it was right, the uncle didn't want to come back with Saburo by himself, and planned to occupy their second room's property!
"Uncle, we came back secretly, and I fell when we couldn't see me on the road." Seeing familiar family members, Saburo regained his former cheerfulness, and stretched out his hand to Boss Zhan, with a scratch on his palm.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Old man Zhan touched Saburo's head distressedly. His son was going to be excommunicated, and his daughter-in-law was going to remarry. The two grandsons were the life of old man Zhan.
"Is the Yao family dead? They even let the two children come back on their own!" The third son of Zhan cursed in dissatisfaction, knowing that he had beaten the two brothers of the Yao family yesterday.
Ma Shi, who came out of the clothes, pouted, she didn't want to raise Dalang and Saburo.
Without Dalang, his own Erlang can go to a private school, and the elder brother and sister-in-law only have a daughter, and everything in Lao Zhan's family will belong to her Erlang.
Ma Shi looked at the angry third Zhan who seemed to be going to fight at Yao's house, raised his hand and twisted his waist, and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, Dalang Saburo is so big, his feet grow on them On the body, they sneaked away in the middle of the night, it's normal for the Yao family not to know."
"Mother, I'm not wrong, I really can't blame the Yao family." Ma's ingratiating smile, he just wanted to praise the Yao family and let Dalang Saburo be sent back.
Mrs. Zhan's face was ashen. How could she marry such a thing for the third child back then? It's not so stupid to marry a pig!
"I'm going to cook." Mrs. Li didn't want to get involved, she said and walked into the kitchen.
Zhan Feiyu went back to his room even though he had to study.
Not wanting to see Ma's stupid face, Mrs. Zhan took Dalang and Saburo to the West Wing bedroom to see the biological father of Zhan's second child.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw the second son of Zhan who was crawling up against the pain. Saburo hurriedly ran to the bedside and said, "Dad, my brother and I will stay at home, and I will not go anywhere!"
Saburo is playful. In Jinlin Village, there is Zhan Feiyu, the child king, and everyone takes care of Saburo.
But after going to Yaojia Village, the children in the village bullied him, and Saburo was a wild man. He fought several times, but he was only beaten.
"Dad, I also want to stay, I'll follow you wherever you go." Zhan Dalang said sternly. He is the grandson of Zhan's father and has always been the best in food and clothing. He went to a private school early to study, and he never suffered.
But what happened during this period made Zhan Dalang suddenly fall from heaven to hell. He just wanted to go back to the days when he had no worries about eating and drinking, so he instinctively wanted to stay with Zhan's second son.
The two children seemed to be frightened. Madam Zhan glanced at the moving Boss Zhan, and suddenly burst into tears, "My hard-working grandson!"
Old lady Zhan hugged Dalang, her crying voice trembled.
The old man Zhan also turned his face away in embarrassment. When such a thing happened to the Zhan family, it was the two children who suffered.
"Mother, don't cry, the province scared Saburo to tears again." The third Zhan is the most filial, but when I think of my mother's plan to let the eldest brother be excommunicated in place of the second brother, I will see the grief and cry of the old lady, Zhan The third child always feels a little uncomfortable.
"Yeah, mother, Dalang Saburo is the grandson of the Yao family, and the second sister-in-law is still alive, so the Yao family can still bully them." , Dalang can save more than ten taels of silver a year if he doesn't study!Saburo is also greedy, and always grabs food with Erlang.
Mrs. Zhan almost didn't take a breath, she endured and endured, but she couldn't hold back.
The old lady Zhan took off the cloth shoes on her feet and smashed them, "You black hearted man, you didn't see Dalang Saburo coming back in the dark. If something happens in the middle of the way, you will make your second brother die!"
After the scolding, the old lady Zhan hugged Dalang and cried again, crying that the two children were pitiful, crying that the second son Zhan was going to leave his hometown and was suffering, crying that half of her feet had stepped into the coffin, and she was still living an uneasy life.
Dalang Saburo is a child after all. After breakfast, the two of them went back to the house and went to sleep tired.
The second son of Zhan still had no appetite, and finally was forced by Mrs. Zhan to eat a bowl of porridge. In the bedroom, apart from the old couple, there were only three sons of the Zhan family.
"Boss, you are the eldest brother and the pillar of the family." Madam Zhan cried hard and looked at Boss Zhan with red eyes, "The third child is unreliable, and your second brother is like this now."
Mr. Zhan, who was sitting beside him, wanted to refute, but saw Mrs. Zhan, who had gray hair and was thin and tired, fell silent again.
Boss Zhan felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier for a moment, "Mother, don't worry, with me, the family can't be scattered."
Madam Zhan nodded straight when she heard the words, patted Boss Zhan's arm, and was extremely relieved, "I have given birth to a good son."
Old man Zhan also looked at Boss Zhan who expressed his opinion with admiration. Although the boss didn't talk much, he was never lazy in his work and was reliable. It's a pity he didn't have a son.
The old lady Zhan said a lot of things, talking about the difficulties when she first married the old man Zhan, the interesting stories after the birth of the three brothers, the juniors of the Zhan family, until now that the second son of Zhan is going to be excommunicated.
The originally harmonious atmosphere in the bedroom instantly turned heavy, and Mrs. Zhan didn't cry anymore, but the silent tears made the three brothers feel distressed.
"Mother, it's my son's unfilial piety. I've already recognized it." Second Zhan's face was still morbidly pale, and he looked at the eldest and third Zhan with red eyes.
"Big brother, in the future, your parents will take care of you. The third child is not too young. Keep your temper a little bit. Don't make trouble all day long to cause trouble to the big brother."
When the second son Zhan spoke of his grief, his voice became hoarse. He raised his head and forced back the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said to the old man Zhan: "Father, I've been thinking about it all night, so let the little Yao family remarry. Lang and Saburo also followed, my father is useless, at least I can't drag them down, and I can't burden the family!"
"Second brother, you're right, Dalang's study is too expensive, anyway, the man that the second sister-in-law wants to remarry has no son, and he will definitely provide Dalang to continue his studies. When Dalang is successful, he is afraid that he will not recognize you as a relative. Dad!" Ma, who was eavesdropping outside the window, said aloud in excitement.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what he said was right, Ma was lying on the window and continued to speak: "Second brother, don't worry, my parents are the most kind, and when you go to Majia Village, no one will bully you. Dalang and Saburo have a relationship. The second sister-in-law is here, so you don't have to worry about it!"
The sensational second Zhan's mouth twitched. For the first time, he felt that Mrs. Zhan had done something wrong. She should not have married such a daughter-in-law to the third child.
"Go to the vegetable field to help sister-in-law!" Third Zhan stood up, pushed Ma's head out, and closed the window with a snap.
Mrs. Zhan took a deep breath and decided not to care about Ma Shi, so as to save herself from anger.
Wiping away her tears, Mrs. Zhan said in a hoarse voice, "Second son, what you said just now was about using a knife to cut your mother's heart! Instead of talking about your daughter-in-law, just say Dalang Saburo, that's your son, you Would you mind calling them someone else's father?"
Hearing the questioning, the second son of Zhan turned his head and stubbornly didn't look at Mrs. Zhan, but looking at his tense face, he knew that he was enduring the pain.
"Don't talk about the two children, just talk about yourself!" Mrs. Zhan glanced at Mr. Zhan again, and then said to Mr. Zhan: "You took seven knives and almost died!"
The old lady Zhan's voice was full of fear and sadness, "The doctor said that you have hurt your heart and lungs, and you will not be able to do heavy work in the future, and it will cause a cough when the weather is cold. You must take good care of your sick body at home. I went outside, and I was alone with no one to take care of me. You want the white-haired mother to send the black-haired one!"
"Mother, you don't have to give birth to my son!" Zhan's second son closed his eyes and whispered in pain, "You don't have two grandchildren, Dalang Saburo! It's the son who is not filial. In the next life, I will be a cow and a horse to be filial to your second elder. !"
"Mother doesn't want you to be filial in your next life, you are filial to me by living a good life in this life!" Mrs. Zhan patted the second Zhan's arm, as if she was annoyed by his words, and turned to look at Boss Zhan, "Boss, what's wrong with this? Do it, what do you think the mother should do!"
If it was before, Boss Zhan must be at a loss, but Zhan Feiyu gave him a reassurance, and Boss Zhan supported the crying and trembling old lady Zhan.
"Mother, don't cry, the second brother and sister asked him to remarry, the second child, you write and leave the book, and I will send it to the Yao family in a while!" Boss Zhan said loudly, and there was still a bit of sympathy for Xiao Yao in his firm voice. do not like.
"As for Dalang and Saburo, my uncle is still alive, and I can't starve for two children!" Boss Zhan stood up straight and took on the burden of feeding the whole family, "The second child goes to Majia Village and waits a few years for the wind to die down. Come back again, when the time comes, big brother will marry you a new wife!"
Perfect!Another good son today!good brother!
The second child Zhan and the old lady Zhan dumbly looked at the boss Zhan who made a strong statement. Could the boss be possessed by Ma, why did he say "nonsense".
The old man Zhan and the third son of Zhan looked happy. Neither father and son had much responsibility. They would be relieved that the Boss Zhan would carry the heavy burden.
Zhan boss looked at Zhan's second son who didn't speak, and patted him on the shoulder hard, "Second, don't worry, don't work if you are not in good health, mother, take five taels of silver to the second child and let him The second child is taking care of himself in Majia Village."
Zhan's second son pulls goods and delivers goods at the dock, and earns [-] taels of silver a year. When he arrives in Majia Village, he is in a state where his family is full and not hungry.
, fifty taels of silver is enough for him to eat and drink.
"The boss is right. Five taels of silver a year is enough. When the second child rents a house, he will grow and order vegetables in the yard and raise a few chickens." Old man Zhan said with a smile, growing vegetables and raising chickens is the best way to The light work, the little girls in the village of six or seven years old can do it, and they will not be tired to the second child.
You can eat your own vegetables, use eggs to replenish your body, occasionally go fishing for a few fish for a tooth sacrifice, and send some meat to your home during the holidays. Even old man Zhan has thought about these comfortable little days.
"Third, come out and ask your elder brother to teach you to drive the ox cart, and then you will go to the wharf to pull the goods." Old man Zhan glanced at his younger son and decided to break his temper.
"Yes, the burden at home is heavy, the third child, you can't be lazy in the future." Boss Zhan twisted the third child's arm and dragged him out.
The father and son all thought that the second room had been solved perfectly, so they should find a way to earn more money to supplement the family.
In the bedroom, Mrs. Zhan and Mr. Zhan's second child were dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why Mr. Zhan behaved like this. Shouldn't he take the initiative to speak in place of the second child and be excommunicated?
"It's good for me to be the boss!" The old lady Zhan said grimly with a look of disgust on her face. If he really loves the second brother, he should go to Majia Village instead of the second one!
Second Zhan wiped his face and said with a wry smile: "Mother, forget it, Chu clan is not a joke, and the eldest brother may also consider Xiaoyu."
It's okay not to mention Zhan Feiyu, but when she mentioned it, Mrs. Zhan's face was completely cold, "Don't worry about this, I will let Dalang and Saburo talk, my nephew kneels and begs him, but I want to see if the boss's heart is not. Made of iron!"
……
After eating at noon, while the sun was just right and the weather was a little warmer, the eldest Zhan took hot water to scrub the second Zhan's body. Seeing that he was still in a low spirit, he comforted him: "Second, you don't have to worry about your home, There's a big brother here."
Zhan's boss didn't say it to death. He believed in Zhan Feiyu's intelligence. She said that she would take the county exam in two years, and she would let the second child come back when she achieved fame, but what if she didn't pass the first time?
Zhan Dalang took the test in February. A total of eight children went to the private school, but none of them passed the county test. The boss of Zhan was also a little worried, so he dared not say the exact time of two years, just waited for the time. Zhan Feiyu gave Zhan's second son a surprise after passing the county test.
"Big brother, I'm the one who dragged you down." Zhan's second son's expression was grateful, but his eyes were cold. Even if there was a dead girl like Xiaoyu, in the end, he was still selfish and unwilling to come forward!
Boss Zhan wrung out the towel, and then handed it to the second brother Zhan to wipe his body, "Brothers say what's not to be a drag."
A moment later, Boss Zhan just returned to the stove with a wooden basin, when Dalang Zhan and Saburo suddenly walked in, and the brothers slammed and knelt in front of Boss Zhan.
"Uncle, I kowtow to you!" Zhan Dalang endured the humiliation and kowtowed three times.
Although Saburo didn't know why, Dalang was the eldest brother. He did what Saburo said and kowtowed.
Boss Zhan was startled, and then moved to help the two children, "I'm your uncle, you should be raised, you don't need to kowtow to me, you and Saburo are fine."
Dalang and Saburo are both good children, thank you!Boss Zhan's dark and old-fashioned face couldn't help but smile, thinking of Zhan Feiyu who was still studying in a private school, his smile deepened a little, the children of Zhan's family are all good!
The uncle is pretending to be confused!With his head down, Zhan Dalang's eyes were even more hideous, but thinking of what Mrs. Zhan said before, Dalang could only endure hatred.
"Uncle." Dalang raised his head and looked pleadingly at Boss Zhan, who was still smiling. At this moment, he gritted his teeth in hatred, but when he thought of his previous life...
"Uncle, I will be 13 years old after the new year. I want to study and honor my ancestors. If my father is expelled, I will not be able to take the imperial examination!" Da Lang knelt on the ground and begged repeatedly, "In a few years I will It's time to get engaged too, uncle, there is a father who was expelled from the family, and a mother who remarried, no girl from any family is willing to marry me!"
Boss Zhan was stunned for a moment. He only wanted to raise two children and not let them starve and freeze. He really didn't think about the rest.
"My father's health is not good, he can't suffer any more, uncle, I beg you to help my father and go to Majia Village instead of him!" Finally, Zhan Dalang said more and more agilely.
"Xiaoyu belongs to a girl's family, and she has a talent for reading. In the future, people will want to marry her. Besides, uncle, you are strong, and the aunt will not be forced to remarry like my mother. If you don't agree to me and Saburo, uncle I will kneel before you."
Zhan Dalang glanced at the ignorant Saburo, and ordered sharply, "Sanlang, you kowtow to the uncle, let the uncle save the father, have pity on us! As long as the father is well, the mother will not remarry, and our family will not be separated. "
"Uncle?" Saburo was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed again.
Old Zhan's brain was a little confused. He didn't expect Dalang to say these words to replace the second child and be eliminated from the family?
"What nonsense you two are talking about, who would allow you to embarrass your uncle like this!" Suddenly, Madam Zhan's angry voice sounded, and she picked up the broom beside her and rushed into the kitchen.
"I killed you two ignorant people. Your uncle is willing to support you. Are you still not satisfied?" Madam Zhan scolded loudly, slamming the broom in her hand on the backs of the two of them. .
"If you want to complain, you'll blame your father for being unlucky. Even if your father died in Majia Village, that's his life!" Old lady Zhan burst into tears, but the broom in her hand was pumping harder, "If you can't read, you can When you come back to farm, do you still want your uncle to study for you? If you can’t get married, don’t marry, and when you get old, you will live with Saburo!”
"I don't!" Zhan Dalang suddenly shouted out of control, "I want to study, I am the grandson of Zhan's family, I want to study hard and honor my ancestors! I don't want my mother to remarry, I want to let my father live, milk, Even if you kill me today, I won't get up!"
"I want a mother too!" Saburo burst into tears with a wow, not knowing whether he was frightened or beaten.
Awakened by the crying, Boss Zhan grabbed the broom in Madam Zhan's hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother, stop beating."
"Boss, get out of the way, I'll kill these two little beasts today who don't know how to be grateful. Even if the second room is dead, there's still the third child, Erlang!" Madam Zhan wiped her tears, and the broom was taken away. He patted Zhan Dalang's back with his hands, it seemed that he really wanted to kill them.
"I want my father to live well, I don't want my mother to remarry, I want to study with Saburo, marry my own son and inherit the lineage, milk, I'm not wrong!" Zhan Dalang hugged Saburo, who was crying, and the brothers hugged their heads and cried.
Madam Zhan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly fell to the ground, hugged the two children and cried, "You are not wrong, the fault is the milk, the milk is useless, the milk can't keep your father, the milk has no money for you to study, you want to Hate me if you hate me! This is life..."
"Boss." The old man Zhan didn't know how long he had been listening at the door of the kitchen. He looked at the stunned boss Zhan, hesitated and said, "Boss, if you will replace the second child, the old Zhan family can't be in my hands. The incense is broken!"
Before, old man Zhan didn't think about it so much, but when he heard Da Lang's cry, old man Zhan had to think more. It's just that his two grandsons couldn't read.
Furthermore, if there is only Erlang in the Zhan family, who can guarantee that Erlang will have a son?
If the eldest son does not only have a daughter for Xiaoyu, and if Erlang does not have a son in the future, the entire Lao Zhan family will have no children and no grandchildren!The old man Zhan was frightened just thinking about it.
"Father?" Boss Zhan looked at Old Man Zhan blankly, and then glanced at Saburo, who was kneeling on the ground, and Madam Zhan, who was holding them. After a long time, a dry voice sounded, "I know what to do. ."
……
When Zhan Feiyu came back from the private school, he saw Boss Zhan sitting blankly in the hall.
The rest of the Zhan family were also there, but they were all silent with a sullen face, while Mrs. Li was sitting on the bench against the wall, not knowing what to think, and didn't notice that Zhan Feiyu was back.
The father and daughter looked at each other. At this moment, Zhan Feiyu's heart fell to the bottom, and the last scene that he didn't want to see appeared.
"Xiaoyu." Boss Zhan stood up with the edge of the table, some dared not look at Zhan Feiyu's black and penetrating eyes, and his lips trembled a few times, "Xiaoyu, Dad has something to tell you."
"Brother, you have decided to go to Majiacun instead of the second child, and you are talking nonsense!" The third Zhan couldn't hold back his anger.
If it wasn't for Zhan Feiyu's disclosure of the news before, the third child of Zhan might have the same thoughts as the old man and the elder Zhan. Although the two children of Dalang and Saburo used their knees to force their uncle, this is indeed the best choice.
But just because he knew in advance, the third Zhan looked at the pretentious old lady Zhan, and the second Zhan who was dragging his body to death and didn't agree, and only felt extremely mocking.
Old man Zhan glared at the troublesome young son, "Second brother, shut up for me!"
Ignoring the others, Zhan Feiyu looked at the guilty and restless Boss Zhan with his clear eyes, his tone was shockingly calm, "Dad, you don't need to say, the second uncle is not in good health and can't go out to suffer, and the second aunt is making trouble again. If you want to remarry, Dalang Saburo still has to study for the imperial examination, and you only have one daughter, it will not affect you if you are removed from the clan, you don’t need to say more, I understand.”
When old man Zhan heard this, he suddenly let go of his dangling heart, "Xiaoyu, you are really sensible."
You're a sensible ass, and she said that Xiaoyu is smart, I think she's stupid!Ma wanted to speak, but she was warned by Mrs. Zhan before, unless she wanted to be divorced from Zhan's house.
Boss Zhan looked at Zhan Feiyu blankly, not knowing why he had an ominous feeling. At this moment, it seemed that he was about to lose the most important thing.
Zhan Feiyu took a soothing glance at Mrs. Li, who returned to his senses, smiled at her, and then looked at the old man and Mrs. Zhan who were sitting in the main seat, "I agree that my father will be removed from the family in place of the second uncle, on the condition that There are two: one is to adopt me out, and the other is to separate my mother and my father."
Although there is no harmony, there is no difference between harmony and separation.
For the sake of Zhan Feiyu's future marriage, Mrs. Li must be unwilling to divorce her, but it would be boring to continue to entangle with Zhan's boss, so Zhan Feiyu proposed to separate from the production.
"Xiaoyu, as a junior, how dare you talk to your uncle like this, you read all the books in the dog's stomach?" Others didn't speak, but Zhan Dalang scolded angrily.
Zhan Dalang's eyes were full of revenge. If she adopted it, her uncle's excommunication wouldn't affect her, but how could Zhan Dalang agree!There can only be one scholar in the Zhan family, and that is himself!
Zhan Feiyu should always be trampled under his feet, unable to study, has a father who has been excommunicated, and finally can only marry an inferior husband. , I can only ask myself, the big brother in the lobby, to call the shots for her!
"Dalang is right, even if your father is excommunicated, you and your mother will stay at home." The old man Zhan looked at Zhan Feiyu with a little dissatisfaction. He had just praised Xiaoyu for being sensible, but she started talking nonsense. , It's not that the Zhan family can't afford to raise a girl. If you adopt it, you will be stabbed in the spine!
Mrs. Zhan disliked her eyelids and glanced at Zhan Feiyu, hiding her unhappiness in her eyes, and persuaded coldly: "Xiaoyu, your father also loves your second uncle, and your father will come back in a few years, so don't make a fool of yourself. "
Boss Zhan nodded and looked at his wife and daughter begging. He was healthy and suffered a little bit of hardship, so he thought he was going out to work for a long time, and he could be reunited with the Li family when he came back.
As for Xiaoyu... Boss Zhan feels very guilty and distressed, but Dalang is right, how many people have failed to pass the exam for more than ten or twenty years, and it doesn't matter for men.
But Xiaoyu is a girl's family, and by then she will be an old girl who can't marry, and her mother also said that she will continue to study for Xiaoyu, but she does not need to participate in the imperial examination.
"Grandma, if you don't agree to my conditions, do you think my father can replace the second uncle to be excommunicated? Will the clan in the village agree? Or will the Zeng family agree?" Zhan Feiyu couldn't help laughing when she saw that Mrs. Zhan wanted to refute Said: "Even if the Zeng family wants to agree, I have a way to make the Zeng family dare not nod!"
No matter how pungent and powerful the old lady Zhan is, she is just an ignorant old woman. Looking at the confident Zhan Feiyu, the old lady lost her face. She knew that Zhan Feiyu was telling the truth and she had the ability!
Why does such a smart granddaughter grow a back bone?At this moment, Mrs. Zhan's eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish, but she didn't know what to think. Mrs. Zhan said, "Okay, I promise you to adopt, the third, you go to the old patriarch and the village leader."
……
The day before going to Zeng's house, Zhan Feiyu had already dealt with the affairs of Zhan's house.
She was adopted, because she was worried that she would meet an unreliable father like Boss Zhan in the future, and the old patriarch adopted her under the name of a cousin of his early first cousin, so that Zhan Feiyu would not be dragged down by his parents.
And Li also moved out of Zhan's house.
The village is looking for the young people in the village, and it took two days to renovate a spare house, three brick houses, and a front and back yard. Zhan Feiyu and her daughter lived alone. It's much more spacious in Zhan's house.
After reading it inside and out, the villager said with a smile: "I'll have someone come back with some rocks from the mountain in a few days, and then build the fence again."
"Don't worry, there is Rhubarb." Zhan Feiyu said, Rhubarb immediately wagged his tail at her.
"Rhubarb is a good dog." The old patriarch took it and let Fuzheng help him into the main room. After sitting down, he came to the business, "Tomorrow you are going to Zeng's house, you have been adopted, Zeng The family will not necessarily agree.”
The eldest Zhan was expelled in place of the second child of Zhan. If he could drag down Zhan Feiyu, the Zeng family would definitely agree, but if she adopted it, the Zeng family could endure this bad breath and watch the real murderer of the second child of Zhan happy?
Zhan boss has no opinion, and he was expelled in place of Zhan's second son. In his opinion, the loss is the least.
The two children of Dalang knelt down and begged, and the father, the old man Zhan, also spoke, and the old mother was about to cry to death. The second son of Zhan was injured and sickly, and the little Yao family was arguing for remarriage, and the old man Zhan could only agree.
Of course, what he hurt was Li Shi and Zhan Feiyu, but he decided that Li Shi would not remarry, and Xiaoyu could still study, but he could not take the imperial examination. In comparison, he chose the lower one.
(End of this chapter)
At night, every household has turned off the lights and slept, but Zhan's house is still bright.
Zhan Feiyu put down the book in his hand and looked at Boss Zhan who was standing at the door with a tired face, "Dad, is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay, Dad just came to see you, it's cold, you need to wear more clothes when reading at night." Boss Zhan said flattered.
During this period of time, Zhan Feiyu has been treated coldly by Zhan Feiyu. Boss Zhan is inevitably a little excited when she sees her face without alienation, but when he thinks of Yao's visit today, Boss Zhan's expression becomes heavy again.
"Xiaoyu." Boss Zhan looked at his daughter under the light. She was still familiar with the facial features, but there was a more calm atmosphere, which reminded Boss Zhan of Master Lin, maybe all scholars.
Zhan Feiyu didn't speak, but poured a glass of water for Boss Zhan and closed the door.
"Xiaoyu, you read well, what should you do about your second aunt?" Boss Zhan asked hesitantly.
Boss Zhan was helpless. After dinner, he went to the main house. Dad kept his head down and smoked a cigarette, and his mother's eyes were swollen from crying. As a son, Boss Zhan looked worried and uncomfortable.
After that, he went to the West Wing again, and looked at Zhan's second child lying in bed and lost his spirits, as if his spirit had been taken away, Zhan's first brother persuaded a few words, but when he thought that Xiao Yao was going to remarry, he brought Dalang Saburo with him. Remarried, Boss Zhan can't say anything.
"Father, then I'll say it." Zhan Feiyu sat down on the chair, and seeing Boss Zhan nodding straight, he said, "Father, although it is difficult for an honest official to break up housework, there are contradictions between the concubines of each family. , but it is fair to say that the source of our Zhan family's quarrel is because of the second aunt."
Li's temperament is kind and gentle, and Ma's from the third room seems to be strong and unwilling to suffer, but he has no brains, so he has a louder voice. Only Xiao Yao is a bit shrewd, calculating, and acting selfishly.
"Your second aunt, she..." As an uncle, Boss Zhan doesn't like to judge his younger siblings, but in his eyes, his parents and brothers are good, and it's naturally Xiao Yao Shi, an outsider who is not good.
Of course, this is also the reason why Zhan's second son usually hides behind and pushes Xiao Yao Shi as a knife messenger.
"So there's nothing wrong with the second aunt remarrying. The twisted melon is not sweet, and the second aunt doesn't want to stay and endure hardship." Zhan Feiyu glanced at the sullen boss Zhan and continued straightforwardly: "But Dalang Saburo can stay, and I can make money by copying books next year."
"Are you willing to keep Dalang and the others?" Boss Zhan looked at Zhan Feiyu in shock, with mixed feelings in his heart. He thought that Xiaoyu was cold-hearted and didn't care about blood kinship. He never thought that Xiaoyu could say these words. Come.
It seems that grandma and second uncle often slandered and slandered themselves in front of their father, Zhan Feiyu laughed at himself, "Father, I will take the county examination in the next year, once I can get a name, the Zeng family will not dare to embarrass us again, two Uncle can also come back, after all, the family has only had a little difficulty in the past two years."
When Boss Zhan left the main room, his worried hair turned white. When he thought of the separation of his wife and ion in the second room, Boss Zhan only hated himself, the eldest brother, who was incompetent and couldn't help his younger brother.
But after listening to Zhan Feiyu's words, Boss Zhan saw hope again, and patted Zhan Feiyu on the shoulder excitedly, "Good little fish, I can rest assured if you say this!"
The boss of Zhan is the old scalper of the Zhan family, who only works hard, and now Zhan Feiyu is his backbone.
"So Dad, you don't have to worry anymore, the second aunt wants to remarry, just let her go. The people who want to leave can't be kept, and the big boss and Saburo will stay. For the past two years, Dad, you have to work harder. After I pass the county test, the family's burden will be over. Leave it to me!" Zhan Feiyu made a promise.
Although Zhan Feiyu was only nine years old two years later, with her talent for reading and the attention given to her by the village clan, Boss Zhan completely believed, "Father is not afraid of hardship or fatigue, Xiaoyu, you should study hard. , Dad won't bother you anymore."
Zhan Feiyu looked at Boss Zhan who was walking away briskly, his originally peaceful and calm expression turned into indifference, hoping that his father would not disappoint himself or his mother.
It was frost, cold and wind in the morning, and the courtyard door of Zhan's house was tightly closed.
Boss Zhan, who has been waking up early all the time, is lying on the bed and hasn't woken up because he has put down his heavy burden. The whole Zhan family is still sleeping except Zhan Feiyu, who wakes up early to study.
Bang bang bang!The courtyard door was patted with a bang, and those who didn't know it thought that a robber had come to the door.
"Father, open the door!" Followed by panicked shouts, Zhan Saburo slammed the courtyard door with his red-hot hands, "Grandpa, grandma, I'm back, open the door..."
Zhan Dalang stood aside with a sullen face, his eyes were gloomy and frightening, and his expression twisted a bit when he looked at the closed courtyard door. He didn't look like a 12-year-old boy at all.
Just when Saburo felt desperate that Zhan's family didn't want him, the courtyard door creaked open from the inside, and Saburo, who slapped the door, almost fell in.
"Little fish?" Saburo looked up blankly at Zhan Feiyu who was supporting him.
The difference between the two is two months, and Zhan Feiyu also let him in on weekdays. When he saw Zhan Feiyu, Saburo burst into tears, "Xiaoyu..."
"Sanlang, brother lobby." Zhan Feiyu shouted.
Zhan Dalang stared at Zhan Feiyu with hatred eyes, old and new hatred flooded into his heart, causing him to clench his fists, but in the end he didn't dare to do anything, just pushed Saburo who was in the way, the big one. Step into it.
Being pushed and staggering, Zhan Saburo stared blankly at the eldest brother who was leaving, his once high-spirited face was only blank and at a loss.
"What are you doing stupidly, come in." Zhan Feiyu said with a smile, the kindness released made Saburo suddenly come back to his senses, then grinned and followed Zhan Feiyu into the door.
Saburo's cries just woke up the Zhan family, and the first ones to come out were the old man Zhan and the old lady Zhan.
"Master, grandma!" Saburo shouted, ran over excitedly, and hugged old Zhan's leg. Compared with his cousin Zhan Feiyu, the grandparents who have always loved him made Saburo feel more secure.
With a crunch, the door of the third room also opened, and the third Zhan walked out while putting on his clothes, "I said it was Saburo's voice, and the whole village can hear this stinky boy crying!"
"Third uncle, I didn't cry!" Zhan Saburo turned around and said, and hugged old man Zhan's leg again.
"Yes, you didn't cry." Third Zhan laughed, raised his hand and smeared his face, "What is this? Cat urine! I bah, why does it still smell like mud."
"You don't think it's dirty either!" Ma glared at the third Zhan angrily, and he didn't even look at Saburo's face, the black mud marks one after another, and his nose was covered with mucus.
Boss Zhan and Mrs. Li also got up.
"Dalang, why are you back?" Boss Zhan asked with concern.
It's early in the morning, and the sky is still bright. It takes at least half an hour to walk from Yao's house to Zhan's house. Could it be that Dalang and the others came back in the dark, thinking of this Boss Zhan's face is a bit ugly, if something goes wrong on the way Accident?
Zhan Dalang glanced at Boss Zhan angrily, and lowered his head again, but his face became cold and distorted. Mother said it was right, the uncle didn't want to come back with Saburo by himself, and planned to occupy their second room's property!
"Uncle, we came back secretly, and I fell when we couldn't see me on the road." Seeing familiar family members, Saburo regained his former cheerfulness, and stretched out his hand to Boss Zhan, with a scratch on his palm.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Old man Zhan touched Saburo's head distressedly. His son was going to be excommunicated, and his daughter-in-law was going to remarry. The two grandsons were the life of old man Zhan.
"Is the Yao family dead? They even let the two children come back on their own!" The third son of Zhan cursed in dissatisfaction, knowing that he had beaten the two brothers of the Yao family yesterday.
Ma Shi, who came out of the clothes, pouted, she didn't want to raise Dalang and Saburo.
Without Dalang, his own Erlang can go to a private school, and the elder brother and sister-in-law only have a daughter, and everything in Lao Zhan's family will belong to her Erlang.
Ma Shi looked at the angry third Zhan who seemed to be going to fight at Yao's house, raised his hand and twisted his waist, and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, Dalang Saburo is so big, his feet grow on them On the body, they sneaked away in the middle of the night, it's normal for the Yao family not to know."
"Mother, I'm not wrong, I really can't blame the Yao family." Ma's ingratiating smile, he just wanted to praise the Yao family and let Dalang Saburo be sent back.
Mrs. Zhan's face was ashen. How could she marry such a thing for the third child back then? It's not so stupid to marry a pig!
"I'm going to cook." Mrs. Li didn't want to get involved, she said and walked into the kitchen.
Zhan Feiyu went back to his room even though he had to study.
Not wanting to see Ma's stupid face, Mrs. Zhan took Dalang and Saburo to the West Wing bedroom to see the biological father of Zhan's second child.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw the second son of Zhan who was crawling up against the pain. Saburo hurriedly ran to the bedside and said, "Dad, my brother and I will stay at home, and I will not go anywhere!"
Saburo is playful. In Jinlin Village, there is Zhan Feiyu, the child king, and everyone takes care of Saburo.
But after going to Yaojia Village, the children in the village bullied him, and Saburo was a wild man. He fought several times, but he was only beaten.
"Dad, I also want to stay, I'll follow you wherever you go." Zhan Dalang said sternly. He is the grandson of Zhan's father and has always been the best in food and clothing. He went to a private school early to study, and he never suffered.
But what happened during this period made Zhan Dalang suddenly fall from heaven to hell. He just wanted to go back to the days when he had no worries about eating and drinking, so he instinctively wanted to stay with Zhan's second son.
The two children seemed to be frightened. Madam Zhan glanced at the moving Boss Zhan, and suddenly burst into tears, "My hard-working grandson!"
Old lady Zhan hugged Dalang, her crying voice trembled.
The old man Zhan also turned his face away in embarrassment. When such a thing happened to the Zhan family, it was the two children who suffered.
"Mother, don't cry, the province scared Saburo to tears again." The third Zhan is the most filial, but when I think of my mother's plan to let the eldest brother be excommunicated in place of the second brother, I will see the grief and cry of the old lady, Zhan The third child always feels a little uncomfortable.
"Yeah, mother, Dalang Saburo is the grandson of the Yao family, and the second sister-in-law is still alive, so the Yao family can still bully them." , Dalang can save more than ten taels of silver a year if he doesn't study!Saburo is also greedy, and always grabs food with Erlang.
Mrs. Zhan almost didn't take a breath, she endured and endured, but she couldn't hold back.
The old lady Zhan took off the cloth shoes on her feet and smashed them, "You black hearted man, you didn't see Dalang Saburo coming back in the dark. If something happens in the middle of the way, you will make your second brother die!"
After the scolding, the old lady Zhan hugged Dalang and cried again, crying that the two children were pitiful, crying that the second son Zhan was going to leave his hometown and was suffering, crying that half of her feet had stepped into the coffin, and she was still living an uneasy life.
Dalang Saburo is a child after all. After breakfast, the two of them went back to the house and went to sleep tired.
The second son of Zhan still had no appetite, and finally was forced by Mrs. Zhan to eat a bowl of porridge. In the bedroom, apart from the old couple, there were only three sons of the Zhan family.
"Boss, you are the eldest brother and the pillar of the family." Madam Zhan cried hard and looked at Boss Zhan with red eyes, "The third child is unreliable, and your second brother is like this now."
Mr. Zhan, who was sitting beside him, wanted to refute, but saw Mrs. Zhan, who had gray hair and was thin and tired, fell silent again.
Boss Zhan felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier for a moment, "Mother, don't worry, with me, the family can't be scattered."
Madam Zhan nodded straight when she heard the words, patted Boss Zhan's arm, and was extremely relieved, "I have given birth to a good son."
Old man Zhan also looked at Boss Zhan who expressed his opinion with admiration. Although the boss didn't talk much, he was never lazy in his work and was reliable. It's a pity he didn't have a son.
The old lady Zhan said a lot of things, talking about the difficulties when she first married the old man Zhan, the interesting stories after the birth of the three brothers, the juniors of the Zhan family, until now that the second son of Zhan is going to be excommunicated.
The originally harmonious atmosphere in the bedroom instantly turned heavy, and Mrs. Zhan didn't cry anymore, but the silent tears made the three brothers feel distressed.
"Mother, it's my son's unfilial piety. I've already recognized it." Second Zhan's face was still morbidly pale, and he looked at the eldest and third Zhan with red eyes.
"Big brother, in the future, your parents will take care of you. The third child is not too young. Keep your temper a little bit. Don't make trouble all day long to cause trouble to the big brother."
When the second son Zhan spoke of his grief, his voice became hoarse. He raised his head and forced back the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said to the old man Zhan: "Father, I've been thinking about it all night, so let the little Yao family remarry. Lang and Saburo also followed, my father is useless, at least I can't drag them down, and I can't burden the family!"
"Second brother, you're right, Dalang's study is too expensive, anyway, the man that the second sister-in-law wants to remarry has no son, and he will definitely provide Dalang to continue his studies. When Dalang is successful, he is afraid that he will not recognize you as a relative. Dad!" Ma, who was eavesdropping outside the window, said aloud in excitement.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what he said was right, Ma was lying on the window and continued to speak: "Second brother, don't worry, my parents are the most kind, and when you go to Majia Village, no one will bully you. Dalang and Saburo have a relationship. The second sister-in-law is here, so you don't have to worry about it!"
The sensational second Zhan's mouth twitched. For the first time, he felt that Mrs. Zhan had done something wrong. She should not have married such a daughter-in-law to the third child.
"Go to the vegetable field to help sister-in-law!" Third Zhan stood up, pushed Ma's head out, and closed the window with a snap.
Mrs. Zhan took a deep breath and decided not to care about Ma Shi, so as to save herself from anger.
Wiping away her tears, Mrs. Zhan said in a hoarse voice, "Second son, what you said just now was about using a knife to cut your mother's heart! Instead of talking about your daughter-in-law, just say Dalang Saburo, that's your son, you Would you mind calling them someone else's father?"
Hearing the questioning, the second son of Zhan turned his head and stubbornly didn't look at Mrs. Zhan, but looking at his tense face, he knew that he was enduring the pain.
"Don't talk about the two children, just talk about yourself!" Mrs. Zhan glanced at Mr. Zhan again, and then said to Mr. Zhan: "You took seven knives and almost died!"
The old lady Zhan's voice was full of fear and sadness, "The doctor said that you have hurt your heart and lungs, and you will not be able to do heavy work in the future, and it will cause a cough when the weather is cold. You must take good care of your sick body at home. I went outside, and I was alone with no one to take care of me. You want the white-haired mother to send the black-haired one!"
"Mother, you don't have to give birth to my son!" Zhan's second son closed his eyes and whispered in pain, "You don't have two grandchildren, Dalang Saburo! It's the son who is not filial. In the next life, I will be a cow and a horse to be filial to your second elder. !"
"Mother doesn't want you to be filial in your next life, you are filial to me by living a good life in this life!" Mrs. Zhan patted the second Zhan's arm, as if she was annoyed by his words, and turned to look at Boss Zhan, "Boss, what's wrong with this? Do it, what do you think the mother should do!"
If it was before, Boss Zhan must be at a loss, but Zhan Feiyu gave him a reassurance, and Boss Zhan supported the crying and trembling old lady Zhan.
"Mother, don't cry, the second brother and sister asked him to remarry, the second child, you write and leave the book, and I will send it to the Yao family in a while!" Boss Zhan said loudly, and there was still a bit of sympathy for Xiao Yao in his firm voice. do not like.
"As for Dalang and Saburo, my uncle is still alive, and I can't starve for two children!" Boss Zhan stood up straight and took on the burden of feeding the whole family, "The second child goes to Majia Village and waits a few years for the wind to die down. Come back again, when the time comes, big brother will marry you a new wife!"
Perfect!Another good son today!good brother!
The second child Zhan and the old lady Zhan dumbly looked at the boss Zhan who made a strong statement. Could the boss be possessed by Ma, why did he say "nonsense".
The old man Zhan and the third son of Zhan looked happy. Neither father and son had much responsibility. They would be relieved that the Boss Zhan would carry the heavy burden.
Zhan boss looked at Zhan's second son who didn't speak, and patted him on the shoulder hard, "Second, don't worry, don't work if you are not in good health, mother, take five taels of silver to the second child and let him The second child is taking care of himself in Majia Village."
Zhan's second son pulls goods and delivers goods at the dock, and earns [-] taels of silver a year. When he arrives in Majia Village, he is in a state where his family is full and not hungry.
, fifty taels of silver is enough for him to eat and drink.
"The boss is right. Five taels of silver a year is enough. When the second child rents a house, he will grow and order vegetables in the yard and raise a few chickens." Old man Zhan said with a smile, growing vegetables and raising chickens is the best way to The light work, the little girls in the village of six or seven years old can do it, and they will not be tired to the second child.
You can eat your own vegetables, use eggs to replenish your body, occasionally go fishing for a few fish for a tooth sacrifice, and send some meat to your home during the holidays. Even old man Zhan has thought about these comfortable little days.
"Third, come out and ask your elder brother to teach you to drive the ox cart, and then you will go to the wharf to pull the goods." Old man Zhan glanced at his younger son and decided to break his temper.
"Yes, the burden at home is heavy, the third child, you can't be lazy in the future." Boss Zhan twisted the third child's arm and dragged him out.
The father and son all thought that the second room had been solved perfectly, so they should find a way to earn more money to supplement the family.
In the bedroom, Mrs. Zhan and Mr. Zhan's second child were dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why Mr. Zhan behaved like this. Shouldn't he take the initiative to speak in place of the second child and be excommunicated?
"It's good for me to be the boss!" The old lady Zhan said grimly with a look of disgust on her face. If he really loves the second brother, he should go to Majia Village instead of the second one!
Second Zhan wiped his face and said with a wry smile: "Mother, forget it, Chu clan is not a joke, and the eldest brother may also consider Xiaoyu."
It's okay not to mention Zhan Feiyu, but when she mentioned it, Mrs. Zhan's face was completely cold, "Don't worry about this, I will let Dalang and Saburo talk, my nephew kneels and begs him, but I want to see if the boss's heart is not. Made of iron!"
……
After eating at noon, while the sun was just right and the weather was a little warmer, the eldest Zhan took hot water to scrub the second Zhan's body. Seeing that he was still in a low spirit, he comforted him: "Second, you don't have to worry about your home, There's a big brother here."
Zhan's boss didn't say it to death. He believed in Zhan Feiyu's intelligence. She said that she would take the county exam in two years, and she would let the second child come back when she achieved fame, but what if she didn't pass the first time?
Zhan Dalang took the test in February. A total of eight children went to the private school, but none of them passed the county test. The boss of Zhan was also a little worried, so he dared not say the exact time of two years, just waited for the time. Zhan Feiyu gave Zhan's second son a surprise after passing the county test.
"Big brother, I'm the one who dragged you down." Zhan's second son's expression was grateful, but his eyes were cold. Even if there was a dead girl like Xiaoyu, in the end, he was still selfish and unwilling to come forward!
Boss Zhan wrung out the towel, and then handed it to the second brother Zhan to wipe his body, "Brothers say what's not to be a drag."
A moment later, Boss Zhan just returned to the stove with a wooden basin, when Dalang Zhan and Saburo suddenly walked in, and the brothers slammed and knelt in front of Boss Zhan.
"Uncle, I kowtow to you!" Zhan Dalang endured the humiliation and kowtowed three times.
Although Saburo didn't know why, Dalang was the eldest brother. He did what Saburo said and kowtowed.
Boss Zhan was startled, and then moved to help the two children, "I'm your uncle, you should be raised, you don't need to kowtow to me, you and Saburo are fine."
Dalang and Saburo are both good children, thank you!Boss Zhan's dark and old-fashioned face couldn't help but smile, thinking of Zhan Feiyu who was still studying in a private school, his smile deepened a little, the children of Zhan's family are all good!
The uncle is pretending to be confused!With his head down, Zhan Dalang's eyes were even more hideous, but thinking of what Mrs. Zhan said before, Dalang could only endure hatred.
"Uncle." Dalang raised his head and looked pleadingly at Boss Zhan, who was still smiling. At this moment, he gritted his teeth in hatred, but when he thought of his previous life...
"Uncle, I will be 13 years old after the new year. I want to study and honor my ancestors. If my father is expelled, I will not be able to take the imperial examination!" Da Lang knelt on the ground and begged repeatedly, "In a few years I will It's time to get engaged too, uncle, there is a father who was expelled from the family, and a mother who remarried, no girl from any family is willing to marry me!"
Boss Zhan was stunned for a moment. He only wanted to raise two children and not let them starve and freeze. He really didn't think about the rest.
"My father's health is not good, he can't suffer any more, uncle, I beg you to help my father and go to Majia Village instead of him!" Finally, Zhan Dalang said more and more agilely.
"Xiaoyu belongs to a girl's family, and she has a talent for reading. In the future, people will want to marry her. Besides, uncle, you are strong, and the aunt will not be forced to remarry like my mother. If you don't agree to me and Saburo, uncle I will kneel before you."
Zhan Dalang glanced at the ignorant Saburo, and ordered sharply, "Sanlang, you kowtow to the uncle, let the uncle save the father, have pity on us! As long as the father is well, the mother will not remarry, and our family will not be separated. "
"Uncle?" Saburo was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed again.
Old Zhan's brain was a little confused. He didn't expect Dalang to say these words to replace the second child and be eliminated from the family?
"What nonsense you two are talking about, who would allow you to embarrass your uncle like this!" Suddenly, Madam Zhan's angry voice sounded, and she picked up the broom beside her and rushed into the kitchen.
"I killed you two ignorant people. Your uncle is willing to support you. Are you still not satisfied?" Madam Zhan scolded loudly, slamming the broom in her hand on the backs of the two of them. .
"If you want to complain, you'll blame your father for being unlucky. Even if your father died in Majia Village, that's his life!" Old lady Zhan burst into tears, but the broom in her hand was pumping harder, "If you can't read, you can When you come back to farm, do you still want your uncle to study for you? If you can’t get married, don’t marry, and when you get old, you will live with Saburo!”
"I don't!" Zhan Dalang suddenly shouted out of control, "I want to study, I am the grandson of Zhan's family, I want to study hard and honor my ancestors! I don't want my mother to remarry, I want to let my father live, milk, Even if you kill me today, I won't get up!"
"I want a mother too!" Saburo burst into tears with a wow, not knowing whether he was frightened or beaten.
Awakened by the crying, Boss Zhan grabbed the broom in Madam Zhan's hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother, stop beating."
"Boss, get out of the way, I'll kill these two little beasts today who don't know how to be grateful. Even if the second room is dead, there's still the third child, Erlang!" Madam Zhan wiped her tears, and the broom was taken away. He patted Zhan Dalang's back with his hands, it seemed that he really wanted to kill them.
"I want my father to live well, I don't want my mother to remarry, I want to study with Saburo, marry my own son and inherit the lineage, milk, I'm not wrong!" Zhan Dalang hugged Saburo, who was crying, and the brothers hugged their heads and cried.
Madam Zhan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly fell to the ground, hugged the two children and cried, "You are not wrong, the fault is the milk, the milk is useless, the milk can't keep your father, the milk has no money for you to study, you want to Hate me if you hate me! This is life..."
"Boss." The old man Zhan didn't know how long he had been listening at the door of the kitchen. He looked at the stunned boss Zhan, hesitated and said, "Boss, if you will replace the second child, the old Zhan family can't be in my hands. The incense is broken!"
Before, old man Zhan didn't think about it so much, but when he heard Da Lang's cry, old man Zhan had to think more. It's just that his two grandsons couldn't read.
Furthermore, if there is only Erlang in the Zhan family, who can guarantee that Erlang will have a son?
If the eldest son does not only have a daughter for Xiaoyu, and if Erlang does not have a son in the future, the entire Lao Zhan family will have no children and no grandchildren!The old man Zhan was frightened just thinking about it.
"Father?" Boss Zhan looked at Old Man Zhan blankly, and then glanced at Saburo, who was kneeling on the ground, and Madam Zhan, who was holding them. After a long time, a dry voice sounded, "I know what to do. ."
……
When Zhan Feiyu came back from the private school, he saw Boss Zhan sitting blankly in the hall.
The rest of the Zhan family were also there, but they were all silent with a sullen face, while Mrs. Li was sitting on the bench against the wall, not knowing what to think, and didn't notice that Zhan Feiyu was back.
The father and daughter looked at each other. At this moment, Zhan Feiyu's heart fell to the bottom, and the last scene that he didn't want to see appeared.
"Xiaoyu." Boss Zhan stood up with the edge of the table, some dared not look at Zhan Feiyu's black and penetrating eyes, and his lips trembled a few times, "Xiaoyu, Dad has something to tell you."
"Brother, you have decided to go to Majiacun instead of the second child, and you are talking nonsense!" The third Zhan couldn't hold back his anger.
If it wasn't for Zhan Feiyu's disclosure of the news before, the third child of Zhan might have the same thoughts as the old man and the elder Zhan. Although the two children of Dalang and Saburo used their knees to force their uncle, this is indeed the best choice.
But just because he knew in advance, the third Zhan looked at the pretentious old lady Zhan, and the second Zhan who was dragging his body to death and didn't agree, and only felt extremely mocking.
Old man Zhan glared at the troublesome young son, "Second brother, shut up for me!"
Ignoring the others, Zhan Feiyu looked at the guilty and restless Boss Zhan with his clear eyes, his tone was shockingly calm, "Dad, you don't need to say, the second uncle is not in good health and can't go out to suffer, and the second aunt is making trouble again. If you want to remarry, Dalang Saburo still has to study for the imperial examination, and you only have one daughter, it will not affect you if you are removed from the clan, you don’t need to say more, I understand.”
When old man Zhan heard this, he suddenly let go of his dangling heart, "Xiaoyu, you are really sensible."
You're a sensible ass, and she said that Xiaoyu is smart, I think she's stupid!Ma wanted to speak, but she was warned by Mrs. Zhan before, unless she wanted to be divorced from Zhan's house.
Boss Zhan looked at Zhan Feiyu blankly, not knowing why he had an ominous feeling. At this moment, it seemed that he was about to lose the most important thing.
Zhan Feiyu took a soothing glance at Mrs. Li, who returned to his senses, smiled at her, and then looked at the old man and Mrs. Zhan who were sitting in the main seat, "I agree that my father will be removed from the family in place of the second uncle, on the condition that There are two: one is to adopt me out, and the other is to separate my mother and my father."
Although there is no harmony, there is no difference between harmony and separation.
For the sake of Zhan Feiyu's future marriage, Mrs. Li must be unwilling to divorce her, but it would be boring to continue to entangle with Zhan's boss, so Zhan Feiyu proposed to separate from the production.
"Xiaoyu, as a junior, how dare you talk to your uncle like this, you read all the books in the dog's stomach?" Others didn't speak, but Zhan Dalang scolded angrily.
Zhan Dalang's eyes were full of revenge. If she adopted it, her uncle's excommunication wouldn't affect her, but how could Zhan Dalang agree!There can only be one scholar in the Zhan family, and that is himself!
Zhan Feiyu should always be trampled under his feet, unable to study, has a father who has been excommunicated, and finally can only marry an inferior husband. , I can only ask myself, the big brother in the lobby, to call the shots for her!
"Dalang is right, even if your father is excommunicated, you and your mother will stay at home." The old man Zhan looked at Zhan Feiyu with a little dissatisfaction. He had just praised Xiaoyu for being sensible, but she started talking nonsense. , It's not that the Zhan family can't afford to raise a girl. If you adopt it, you will be stabbed in the spine!
Mrs. Zhan disliked her eyelids and glanced at Zhan Feiyu, hiding her unhappiness in her eyes, and persuaded coldly: "Xiaoyu, your father also loves your second uncle, and your father will come back in a few years, so don't make a fool of yourself. "
Boss Zhan nodded and looked at his wife and daughter begging. He was healthy and suffered a little bit of hardship, so he thought he was going out to work for a long time, and he could be reunited with the Li family when he came back.
As for Xiaoyu... Boss Zhan feels very guilty and distressed, but Dalang is right, how many people have failed to pass the exam for more than ten or twenty years, and it doesn't matter for men.
But Xiaoyu is a girl's family, and by then she will be an old girl who can't marry, and her mother also said that she will continue to study for Xiaoyu, but she does not need to participate in the imperial examination.
"Grandma, if you don't agree to my conditions, do you think my father can replace the second uncle to be excommunicated? Will the clan in the village agree? Or will the Zeng family agree?" Zhan Feiyu couldn't help laughing when she saw that Mrs. Zhan wanted to refute Said: "Even if the Zeng family wants to agree, I have a way to make the Zeng family dare not nod!"
No matter how pungent and powerful the old lady Zhan is, she is just an ignorant old woman. Looking at the confident Zhan Feiyu, the old lady lost her face. She knew that Zhan Feiyu was telling the truth and she had the ability!
Why does such a smart granddaughter grow a back bone?At this moment, Mrs. Zhan's eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish, but she didn't know what to think. Mrs. Zhan said, "Okay, I promise you to adopt, the third, you go to the old patriarch and the village leader."
……
The day before going to Zeng's house, Zhan Feiyu had already dealt with the affairs of Zhan's house.
She was adopted, because she was worried that she would meet an unreliable father like Boss Zhan in the future, and the old patriarch adopted her under the name of a cousin of his early first cousin, so that Zhan Feiyu would not be dragged down by his parents.
And Li also moved out of Zhan's house.
The village is looking for the young people in the village, and it took two days to renovate a spare house, three brick houses, and a front and back yard. Zhan Feiyu and her daughter lived alone. It's much more spacious in Zhan's house.
After reading it inside and out, the villager said with a smile: "I'll have someone come back with some rocks from the mountain in a few days, and then build the fence again."
"Don't worry, there is Rhubarb." Zhan Feiyu said, Rhubarb immediately wagged his tail at her.
"Rhubarb is a good dog." The old patriarch took it and let Fuzheng help him into the main room. After sitting down, he came to the business, "Tomorrow you are going to Zeng's house, you have been adopted, Zeng The family will not necessarily agree.”
The eldest Zhan was expelled in place of the second child of Zhan. If he could drag down Zhan Feiyu, the Zeng family would definitely agree, but if she adopted it, the Zeng family could endure this bad breath and watch the real murderer of the second child of Zhan happy?
Zhan boss has no opinion, and he was expelled in place of Zhan's second son. In his opinion, the loss is the least.
The two children of Dalang knelt down and begged, and the father, the old man Zhan, also spoke, and the old mother was about to cry to death. The second son of Zhan was injured and sickly, and the little Yao family was arguing for remarriage, and the old man Zhan could only agree.
Of course, what he hurt was Li Shi and Zhan Feiyu, but he decided that Li Shi would not remarry, and Xiaoyu could still study, but he could not take the imperial examination. In comparison, he chose the lower one.
