Full of food and color

Chapter 64
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Mrs. Wang waited restlessly for her husband and son to return all day long. It was not until evening that she heard the sound of a cart coming from the yard. Mrs. Wang put down her work and ran into the yard. She saw her husband standing in the yard. Li smiled at her, his heart finally settled down, he hurriedly gathered the whole family to have dinner, and asked about the situation of Runze's exam with a smile.

Runze put down the orb in his bosom, helped to set up the bench, hesitated for a while, and touched his nose, "The answers to the scriptures are the best, try posting scriptures and rhymes, I have never seen many questions, I am stumped for a while, I don't know what to do , and then added it indiscriminately.”

When Wang heard this, she reckoned that she hadn't passed the exam this year, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She was more or less prepared in advance, and now she was a little depressed seeing her baby.I thought that was fine, even though I didn't understand those poems, I always knew that my baby was in a difficult situation this time, and I would know where to use my energy in the future.

Chen Tiegui smiled, and greeted the children, "Okay, I've been tired all day, let's all sit down and eat."

Runze looked a little tired, "I guess I won't pass the exam this year."

Chen Tiegui took a sip of his wine, smacked his lips, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Not to mention, today I was waiting for my baby outside the examination room, and I met some fellow villagers who knew better, and they all said that composing poetry is difficult. It hasn't been a few years. I can't learn kung fu, I thought that we, Runze, don't have many books on hand, and when we save some money, we have to go to the county to buy some books for our baby."

Baozhu also had the same thought in her heart. Eldest brother Runze is smart, but he is only ten years old after all. It is indeed difficult for a ten-year-old child to compose poems. Although Runze studies hard, he only has a few books at hand. If he has the opportunity to read After seeing some wonderful poems and songs, and reading them steadily for a few more years, the county test will definitely not be a problem.

Mrs. Wang sighed, picked up a chopstick of cold cabbage for Runze, and comforted him: "Master said our baby is smart, if he fails the exam this year, he will take the exam next year."

Runze's shoulders trembled, and he clenched his fists, "Mom, why don't I stop studying and help my parents farm the land at home, and my younger siblings still need me to take care of them..."

Chen Tiegui put down his chopsticks with a "snap", "What are you talking about? Didn't your mother tell you earlier? As long as you have the desire to read, your mother and I will sell everything for you to read!"

Mrs. Wang also advised Runze not to be discouraged because of the unsatisfactory exams in the first year. He said that he had always hoped that there would be a scholar in his family.
After all, Runze is still sensible. He felt that he failed the exam and was ashamed of his parents. He was afraid that his parents would not like him to study again, so he took the initiative to propose the idea of ​​not studying. When he saw his parents, he still supported him as always. On the contrary, she comforted Mrs. Wang, saying that she should study hard in the next year. In the past, she was always somewhat proud of her master's praise. This time, she took part in the county examination, and only then did she know how much she weighed. Scholars are not so easy to take the exam, and I still have a lot of books to read, let Mrs. Wang not worry about the exam, set a goal for herself, study for another two years at most, and pass the county exam.

The newly allocated two mu of land had just loosened the soil a few days ago, and it was vacant recently. It was supposed to be planted in February. After Runze finished the test, Mrs. Wang was in the mood to discuss this matter with Chen Tiegui.Said that there should be no further delay, Mrs. Wang thought about planting a crop of sweet potatoes first, and then planting corn after the sweet potatoes are ripe. These two are the most practical crops for the Chen family. Sweet potatoes can be dried into sweet potatoes for easy preservation. The staple food of the family is naturally indispensable, and the four acres of land allocated earlier are still planted with wheat.

During the day, Baozhu went to Wei Yuan's house to read and write with Wei Sipei. Dr. Wei's family lived in poverty, but they often bought paper and ink for reading. Baozhu is only two years and nine months old now, and it is still difficult to hold a pen However, Baozhu was quite satisfied, and after all, someone taught her, and what she learned was justifiable.

Seeing that Baozhu didn't go fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, Wei Yuan seemed to really like reading, and even Si Pei worked a lot. At first, he was a little bit unmotivated. Great progress every day.Seeing the two children studying together every day makes them smile a lot.

In the evening, after Runze finished school, sometimes Baozhu would ask some poems half-understood. Runze only thought that his younger sister was curious, and did not explain in detail, but only taught Baozhu to read some simple poems.

In the blink of an eye, Qingming passed, and the sky turned hot. That evening, Mrs. Wang was cooking in the kitchen, and when she heard someone calling sister-in-law in the yard, Mrs. Wang could tell that the voice was Tie Fu, neither cold nor cold. He responded enthusiastically, but did not go out immediately, scooped up a bowl of water, washed his hands, dried them leisurely, and then slowly came out of the stove, knowingly asked: "Hey, this is Er Brother, I don’t see you once every day, what gust of wind brought the second brother here today?”

Chen Tiefu sneered a few times, and asked, "Brother isn't in the house?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Tian'er, "When is this? How can your elder brother have such leisure? He can't be idle for a day in the field, and he's still in the field right now! What's the matter with your brother, the second brother? Just say it."

Chen Tiefu looked around in the yard, sat on the steps, and smiled shyly, "It's not a big deal, just ask my sister-in-law if I can borrow that old cow in the house for two days."

Mrs. Wang put a smile on her face, and replied calmly: "I'm afraid it won't work. As you know, our family has divided another two acres of land this year. It's the time to use cattle recently, and it's no more labor-intensive than your house. Now it’s me and your brother going to the fields, we must have livestock.”

When Chen Tiefu heard Wang's words, he turned his legs upside down, "Then I'd better wait for the elder brother to come back and ask the elder brother. This cow is also given to the elder brother by the mother, and it is up to the elder brother to decide whether to give it or not."

Seeing Chen Tiefu's rascal appearance, Mrs. Wang laughed angrily, "Even if your brother agrees, but I don't agree, you won't be able to pull that cow away today."

Chen Tiefu snorted, and looked Wang up and down, "Sister-in-law's words are really amazing. She has only been separated for a few years? It seems that she doesn't recognize my brother."

Mrs. Wang curled her lips and entered the kitchen, "Just wait, I'll cook for the children, I don't have time to chat with you!" As soon as the words fell, a basin of vegetable washing water was brought out from the kitchen. , along the porch and splashed down the steps, Chen Tiefu got up hurriedly, still splashing the sewage all over his face.

Chen Tiefu snorted bitterly, and wiped his chin vigorously, "What the hell?! Thanks to our friendship with Hongyu all these years, if you don't borrow it, you won't borrow it. I, Chen Tiefu, can't starve to death without your cattle? "

With one hand on her waist, Wang snorted, "That's kind, I really don't want nephew Liang Dong to starve!"

When Chen Tiegui came back in the evening, after listening to Wang's rambling, he was a little unhappy because of this matter. He felt that what Wang had done was a bit too much, so he just borrowed it for a few days. Isn't it on the ruby ​​face?

The couple stumbled a few words because of this matter, Chen Tiegui felt irritable, and simply went out, leaving Mrs. Wang sitting on the edge of the kang and wiping tears.

Baozhu reckoned that her father would be at Dr. Wei's house, seeing her mother crying all the time made her feel uncomfortable. It is said that father has reasons for father and mother has reasons for mother, but Baozhu's heart is still towards her mother.

First of all, Chen Tiefu has always been unreasonable in his mouth, and maybe he will not repay after borrowing for a few days. This is the direct reason why Wang is afraid to borrow at ease.Next, if the family is separated, it is considered separated. If you borrow a cow or a chicken twice in three days, even if it is just a pair of chopsticks and a bowl, which daughter-in-law would be happy?Let alone livestock.Considering that his father is not very old, his back is already hunched, her mother probably still feels sorry for his father's hard work, and there are many cows in the family, so he can share a lot of farm work, can't he?
His father has a straight temper, and he won't turn his head when he encounters something he can't figure out. He scolded her mother about it for a long time, saying that her mother didn't have the guts to be a sister-in-law, so what he said was true. It was heavier, and Baozhu knew that Wang was holding her breath, so she simply took off her shoes and got on the kang, holding Wang's arm with one hand, leaning her head on Wang's shoulder, and silently accompanied Wang.

I have to get on the train tomorrow, but I can't get a sleeper ticket. I have to sit for 26 hours, and I can't get home until the day after tomorrow.

The holiday of more than ten days is really short, and it passed in the blink of an eye. Just now, I packed my luggage, and my husband went to the living room to talk to my parents for a while. These days, I haven’t had a good chat with my parents. Chatting time is so precious. .

Mom was in the kitchen chopping dumpling fillings, cooking eggs, preparing our last meal before leaving tomorrow morning, while Dad was silently smoking a cigarette.

Feeling a little heavy. .

Hope tomorrow goes well.
