Full of food and color

Chapter 103
While talking, Chen Tiegui left the house with a serious face. He had heard voices coming from the yard a long time ago, and immediately got up excitedly. Now that he was out of the house, he saw Mrs. Wang talking with Runze from the corner of his eye. While talking, he hummed a few times, stretched his waist, and muttered, "This woman, how long has it been, and the stove hasn't started the fire yet?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and took Runze's burden and went into the house, "Why are you in a hurry? There is something delicious for you. My baby was selected as a scholar, and I just released the list yesterday, and now I am rushing back to report! This is not a big deal. Hurry up and let the old house know that this big happy event has to be done once every two days!"

Chen Tiegui muttered something in the yard, and there was a smile on his face.

Runze stepped forward and stared at him, "Father, I'm back."

Chen Tiegui hummed, set up the ox cart and went out, turned his head and shouted into the house, "Just do it today! I'll tell my relatives to give Runsheng some money to buy meat and fish."

Mrs. Wang came out of the house and smiled at Runze, "Look at your father's eagerness, he can't wait after talking about it for a few days!" Full of joy, "Mother, go to your aunt's house next door to borrow tables and chairs, and you can rest by yourself first."

She smiled and muttered as she walked: "Your grandma's house has one table, and your grandma's house must have one table. Those neighbors who are close to each other must also have two tables."

Runze laughed and said, "Mom, don't waste your money."

Mrs. Wang waved her hands and stared at him with rounded eyes, "Huh? You can't say that in front of your relatives later. If you are a scholar, why should we have money to organize a show in our house! This money can't be saved! "She laughed loudly, "Besides, mother is also very happy!" Looking up at the sky, she yelled into the room, "It's still early, and the relatives don't arrive until noon. After cutting the meat, go to the town in the morning to buy some melon seed candy, and then buy two stalls of wine."

"Understood, mother." Runsheng came from the house fully dressed, stepped forward to put Runze on the shoulder, "Brother, you are a master scholar now, it's still early, go to the house to rest, I'll go Cut off the meat!"

Runze looked at him with a stern face, "When did your mouth become so slippery?"

Runsheng scratched his head and smirked, "Brother will be biased, if the orb is in the room, it must be more slippery than me!"

Runze smiled, ignored him, just stood in the yard and looked around, he hadn't returned to the house for a year, everything in the house was no longer the same, there were more than a dozen chickens in the chicken coop, and there was an hour next to him. There are two little piglets in the pigsty, and the cowshed is also newly built with bricks and tiles.

With Baozhu's energy, the house will be built with bricks and tiles after a while, he thought.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang came back from the outside, and several neighbors who came together helped put the tables and chairs in the yard. After working for a while, Mrs. Wang happily talked to them.When Runze was selected as a scholar, others had to ask questions for a while, congratulating and congratulating her. She was very happy, so she stood in the yard and chatted with them, mostly about Runze's study.

It wasn't long, there was a lot of noise outside, Mrs. Wang greeted her at the door, only to see Lizheng coming in person, and Cuifen followed behind and smiled at her, "Congratulations, sister-in-law, I originally said to come back at noon, dad insisted on going first." Come say hello."

How could Mrs. Wang think that they came early? Lizheng is so embarrassing in the village. You can't invite people for ordinary things. When you meet a scholar in Runze, they come to support you in person. There is no reason to be unhappy. .

Mrs. Wang rubbed her clothes, smiled and led him into the main room, served good tea, greeted him for a while, and ordered Runze to greet him nicely, listening to the yelling of Mrs. Chen Liu's profile picture outside , Busy and went outside to greet them.

Since Cuifen got married and went to Li Zheng's family, she has given birth to another baby before, and she has become more and more handsome. She sat there for a long time without even moving her buttocks. Wang thought that she was lazier than before she got married. But he didn't expect her to help after all.

Mrs. Chen Liu was talking to her neighbors in the yard. After all, Runze is different from Jide. The elder grandson is selected as a scholar. He was full of complacency, and talked with a smile on everyone he met.Mrs. Wang was very happy, and saw that she was much more pleasing to the eye than usual, and greeted them affectionately, "Dad and mother are here, please sit down and rest."

Chen Liushi was chatting happily, and waved her hands to say that she was not busy, and asked Wang Shi to go and do her own work first, and she greeted outside.

She said it was a greeting, but she was trying her best to show off to others. How could she have time to socialize at the door? The new guest was confused and couldn't see the owner's face. Shi saw it through the window, sighed and ran to the yard to entertain people. While receiving their congratulations, he politely explained that he was too busy today and was not considerate.

Runsheng went to the town, and Wa's father went outside to inform relatives. Runze was still talking with Li inside, and Chen Liu's mother and daughter couldn't count on her. When there were too many people, she became a little busy. But when she came here, she sighed in her heart that it was better when her daughter was in the house, the work on the stove was always done in an orderly manner, no matter how many people there were, she never panicked, and when her daughter went out, she felt a little powerless.

Not long after, Wang's wife and family all entered the courtyard. When Li saw the chaos in the courtyard, and there was no one to entertain her, her face turned dark. Fang went to help Mrs. Wang, and Baozhu's two uncles stood outside to welcome the guests to their seats. When Mrs. Wang's family came, Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief and took some time to chat with her mother.

For such a big happy event for the eldest grandson, his grandma didn't know how to say hello, so she sat on a chair and chatted very comfortably. When Li thought of this, she became angry, "Isn't this ruining people? No one else can come, yes Give you the face of the Chen family, how can there be a woman who just sits there and doesn't care about things?" He said angrily: "Your father-in-law is also a stunned head, and he sat there without making a sound!"

Wang smiled and said, "Mother, don't be angry. I feel at ease in my heart because I have become a scholar. How can I have the time to anger her?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Li sighed, and patted Mrs. Wang on the shoulder, "You and Tiegui have suffered a lot these past few years!" She handed Mrs. Wang two hundred coins, "Here, I The one who is the grandma will help the baby to go to the provincial capital."

Knowing her mother's temperament, Wang took the money and said with a smile: "Seeing that Baozhu is very ambitious, she said that the business will get better and better in the future, and she will take me and his father to the county. When the time comes Father and mother will live in the county with us, at your age, you should enjoy a few years of blessings."

Mrs. Li scolded her, "No matter how good my daughter is, she will get married, and she can support you for the rest of her life?" Then she whispered to Mrs. Wang, "Looking at the current situation of Runze, in the future, the business of Baozhu will always be taken over by Mrs. Yes, I think Runsheng is too honest, and you often tell him that when you have free time, go to the county to see how Baozhuwa'er is doing business."

Mrs. Wang had never thought about such a thing, but when she heard her mother say it now, she felt a little hesitant. The daughter opened a shop to do business, and the Chen family didn't pay a penny of the money, and she earned a penny. A lot of it was given to the house, and we will talk about the future, even if the daughter doesn't mind, she can't tell her daughter's hard work to her brother and just give it to her brother.

Mrs. Li smiled, "You don't have to worry about it. I see that Baozhu is very generous, and she has a good relationship with her two brothers. When she gets married in the future, don't you have to worry about the house? That shop just won't be reserved for her brother. Now, I have to take care of your mother, otherwise, have you been loving her all these years? You have always been capable, and you will not have to worry about living a good life in the house in the future. "

Mrs. Wang shook her head, "In the future, I will let the children decide on their own. Even if Baozhu wants to bring the shop with her husband's house, her father and I are not unhappy at all. It turns out that Baozhu's children are capable, and they can fight for it by themselves." here."

Mrs. Li shook her head and stared at her, "You, you just take your daughter too seriously!"

Mrs. Wang sighed, "Anyway, I can't lose the treasure. I was thinking about recruiting a son-in-law at home in the future. What does mother think?"

Mrs. Li took a deep breath, frowned and thought about it for a while, "Now that you have become a scholar, it's not impossible to do this." He patted Mrs. Wang's hand again, "Let's take a step at a time. Now that we talk about this matter, The baby is still young, wait another two years."

There are quite a few people here today, including the Chen family's old home, and Wang's natal family. There are not a few relatives and friends, plus Youli is supporting the party, and the banquet was held in a lively manner. .

In the evening when everyone dispersed, the family sat in the room and chatted. Runze rested in the room for ten days this time, and ten days later he would go to the provincial capital to study Confucianism.

Chen Tiegui drank less today, and now the chatter is in full swing, he praised Runze for the first time, saying that he finally won the house, won the scholar, and the house will be more relaxed in the future.He is a farmer, and he has never had any contact with scholars. He only thinks that the money his son spent on studying for a year is really staggering. It almost equals the annual expenses of a peasant family, and he is only studying abroad alone. money.

Runze smiled and said that he was trying to get into Zengsheng, and when the moon came, he would bring it back to his parents every month, and he would gradually pay back the money from the flower house for studying earlier.

Run Ze’s newly recruited scholars of Confucianism in the provincial capital are called "fusheng". Confucianism in the provincial capital has an examination every year to select talents, and the number of places is extremely rare. They are "lin students", because Confucianism is an academy run by the state, and the tuition is free, and they only pay for their own food and lodging.

Hearing what he said, Chen Tiegui reprimanded him with a stern face, saying that he became more serious when he was awarded a scholar, and if he really wanted to pay back, he would never want to pay back the kindness of his upbringing from childhood to adulthood!
Runze's kindness was misunderstood by his father, no matter how he explained it, he would not listen to it, and he did not dare to argue with his father, and looked at his mother helplessly.

Wang smiled and watched the father and father bickering, and felt that she had lived most of her life, except for her daughter, who comforted her, and this time there was one more thing. How could she have dared to think that a peasant woman could raise a scholar?This matter is almost enough for her to be happy for a year or so. If her son is so upbeat, no matter where she and Wa'er's father go in the future, this face will be bright.
