The rise of the poor

Chapter 148 Waiting for you at last

At this time, the Zhu family's old house had just had breakfast. Mr. Zhu was sitting on a chair with a cigarette pouch in his hand. He was wearing a coarse blue shirt, frowning and looking at the clothes hanging on the ropes in the yard. The clothes he often wore a few days ago The most likely new blue cloth embroidered was washed yesterday by Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Liu, the third daughter-in-law, and it hasn't been dried yet.

"Old woman, who asked you to wash it? If someone comes, what do you tell me to wear." Mr. Zhu took a few puffs of dry cigarettes, but still couldn't hold back, he turned his head and complained to Mrs. Zhu who was touching the chicken's butt.

Mrs. Zhu's touch of the chicken's butt is not an unspeakable hobby, she is feeling to see how many eggs are in the belly of the hen.Mrs. Zhu is a veteran among them. As long as any hen is touched by her, she can know whether there are eggs in the belly of the hen, how many eggs are there, and whether it will lay eggs tomorrow.There is a lot of experience in this, which is all explored by Mrs. Zhu for decades.Mrs. Zhu's accuracy in handling eggs is basically as high as [-]%, and she has basically made no mistakes for decades.

Mrs. Zhu touched the eggs today mainly because the number of eggs laid by the hens in the past two days was wrong. Compared with usual, there were one or two fewer eggs every day.Mrs. Zhu suspected that some gluttonous daughter-in-law secretly picked up the eggs and ate them.Therefore, Mrs. Zhu touched it specially to see how many eggs she could lay tomorrow. If there were too few eggs and it was not right to count, she would try a few daughter-in-laws tomorrow.

"You've been wearing it for more than half a month, and you won't be able to tell the color of the clothes if you don't wash them. Besides, who is here? I haven't seen anyone for half a month. Aren't you going to the field today? Wearing such a formal dress What."

Mrs. Zhu was busy counting eggs, when she heard Mr. Zhu speak, she raised her head and said something.

"What's the matter, the eggs are missing again?" The fourth aunt came out of the room and saw Mrs. Zhu touching the chicken's butt, so she asked in a fuss, and then hurriedly cleared herself up, "Isn't it My mother, I can’t eat eggs when I get angry recently.”

"Oh, brother and sister, my mother didn't say it was you, why are you so nervous." Before the eldest aunt in the main room came out, the voice came out first.

"Ah, sister-in-law, you are nervous, I'm not nervous." The fourth aunt covered her mouth and smiled.

Just for a while.The yard was bustling with activity, and when Third Aunt Zhu Ping'an came out of her room, the yard was like a pot of porridge, boiling almost dry.

"Enough. How big is an egg? The fourth child's family, the fourth child, the third child has been in the field for a long time, why is the fourth child still not moving?" Mr. Zhu couldn't stand it, and put the smoke pot He knocked on the chair leg and glared at Mrs. Zhu. Really, this old woman can't even manage these daughters-in-law well.

"It's from the fourth son's family. I asked you to call the fourth son. Why is it taking so long?" The old lady Zhu was glared at by the old man Zhu, and she didn't dare to face the old man Zhu if she was angry, so she had to hold the fourth daughter-in-law to practice.

"Mother..." The fourth aunt blushed and stammered, "Shouxin...he wanted to lie down for a while after eating to recover his energy, and then he went down to the ground. He didn't want to kowtow to the end, and he might not be able to get off the ground... "

When Mr. Zhu heard this, his face darkened, he was useless as the fourth son, and he missed his second son.

"It's knocked to the head, is it serious, really, if you're so careless, let's rest." Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu's focus is completely different. Mrs. Zhu is very concerned about the baby and the fourth child.

"Kowtow, why didn't he..." Mr. Zhu's face was dark, and before he could say anything, he saw the door of his house being pushed open.

"Uncle Zhu. It's a good thing, a good thing. Hurry up and tidy up the yard. It's a good thing." The man who was scolded by the old farmer ran up first, out of breath and panting.But he looked excited, because he was the first to come to announce the good news, and he did it.

"What's the matter?" Mr. Zhu and the others asked quickly.

Before the man opened his mouth, he heard the voice of an old farmer coming from the door, and then he saw that old farmer coming panting.

"What's the matter, Brother Zhu, I didn't brag about it for you. I was the first to know this good news. Your boss..."

The old farmer didn't bother to thank him when he came in, and started talking out of breath.

But before he could say the key news, the words were picked up by the aunt who came in from behind the door.

"The eldest of your family has been admitted as a scholar."

"Still No.1."

"But I'm so arrogant. The officials in the county started crackling firecrackers before they entered the village. They didn't dare to ride horses. They insisted on walking around, and they couldn't hold back."

The seven aunts and eight aunts came in one after another, and they added in a hurry, with both voices and emotions, and the scene blended, as if they were there at that time.

"Really?" Mr. Zhu, who was angry with a black face, was overjoyed, and suddenly turned from anger to joy, and the chrysanthemum blossomed with a smile on his old face.

"It's true, the county officials who announced the good news set off firecrackers at the entrance of the village. Look, the good news will come as soon as it is sure." The people replied eagerly, not to be outdone.

After getting an affirmative answer, Mr. Zhu dropped the pipe that was regarded as a treasure in his hand at that time. He was so vigorous that he seemed to be more than 30 years younger. Holding the wet green cloth in his hands, he headed straight to the room...to change clothes.

It doesn't matter if it's eggs or not, my son is a scholar.

Mrs. Zhu didn't care about touching the chicken's butt anymore, she threw the old hen in her hand to the ground, and got up with a flushed face, as if the time went back to the moment when she was a girl and the matchmaker led Mr. Zhu, who was still a young guy, into the door... …

bingo?

The eldest aunt, who was arguing with the fourth aunt and third aunt, heard that she felt as if a god descended from the game, and her blood energy and spirit were full in an instant, and her combat power had increased by a hundred times. She looked at the two sisters-in-law His eyes are full of contempt: You two are scumbags with a combined combat power of only five, and you are not worthy of being my opponent...

"Ah, I almost forgot, Shouyi bumped his head yesterday, I boiled an egg for the fourth child to reduce the swelling, hehehe, I almost wronged my sister-in-law, damn it, hehehe... Really, my lord sister-in-law If there are a lot of them, let’s forgive my younger siblings. When my elder brother left, I had a dream, saying that a golden toad jumped up and down to your house. After a calculation, I said that my elder brother appointed me to go to high school. Sure enough. , Big Brother said it hit the mark."

At this moment, the fourth aunt covered her mouth and kept apologizing to her aunt. She even blamed herself for what she didn't do yesterday, and she rushed to do it, lest the third sister-in-law would take the lead. It's like an honorable thing.

"Congratulations, sister-in-law." The third aunt is not a flatterer, so she couldn't help but say a word of congratulations.

"That's right, congratulations, everyone. I thought you were a blessed person a long time ago."

"It's not a big deal. After all these years in our village, only one scholar, Shouren, came out of your family."

"Our village has just won your family, Shouren."

The villagers who rushed to Zhu's compound one after another, complimented the aunt in a hurry.

"Where is there, you sit down quickly, they are all from the village, ah, by the way, there is also a pig from the second family who took the exam with his father, did he also pass the exam?" The aunt smiled. From ear to ear, she asked everyone to find a place to sit, although there were only two stools in the yard... and at the end I didn't forget to mention Zhu Ping'an, even though she had heard that there was one in the village, but it was would like to mention.

"No, I just fell for your family's Shouren." The villagers said in a hurry, full of compliments.

As a result, the smile on the aunt's face became more ladylike, and the laughter became more heartfelt.

If it is modern, there should be music playing at this time: I finally waited for you, fortunately I did not give up...
