When Wang Shijing came back, the four children were chatting and laughing in the room. Shao Yunan and Zhao He were preparing dinner in the kitchen. Shao Yunan said that Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan were at home. Brother Yuande and Yuan Qing were coming to eat in the evening. Wang Shijing As a shortcut, it would be better to invite Wang Shuping and his wife to come too. Shao Yunan called Wang Yan out, and asked him to go back and call his parents to come over for dinner, bring his sister, and bring back some cooked glutinous rice cakes.
Eating rice cakes and drinking chrysanthemum tea with Wang Qing, Wang Ni, and Zhao Congbo in the room, Wang Yan let go a lot. Carrying a pack of hot bean paste glutinous rice cakes, Wang Yan ran all the way home. In the afternoon, Zhao Congbo came, dragged Wang Yan and muttered a few words, and took Wang Yan away without saying anything. It was going to be dark soon, and Wang Yan didn't come back, so Aunt Wang Shen asked Wang Shuping to go to Lizheng's house to look for it. Just as Wang Shuping was about to go out, he bumped into his son who ran in when he opened the door. Wang Shuping helped his son to teach him a lesson: "What are you doing in a panic?"
Wang Yan was sweating, and said with a smile: "Father, Uncle Shijing wants me to come and ask you and mother to have dinner, and said to hug my sister." As he said, he stuffed a bag of hot things into the stunned father's arms Rishige, "This is the bean paste glutinous rice cake made by Uncle An. I want to take it back for my grandparents to eat."
Wang Shuping asked in surprise, "You've been at Uncle Shijing's house all afternoon?"
"Ah, Dean Cen of the county school gave Brother Qing several books that he couldn't buy in the county, and wrote annotations. Uncle An agreed that Cong Bo and I would go to copy the books every afternoon, and asked us to save Brother Qing by the way. My son can read, and Uncle An said that he would make delicious food for us. Uncle An made glutinous rice cakes in the afternoon, and I ate a lot there, and I gave these to my grandparents."
"Brother Yan, really?" Wang Chenshi was extremely surprised.
Wang Yan nodded: "Really, I still don't believe that Cong Bo came to see me. After I went there, Uncle An treated me well. He made me chrysanthemum tea and fried glutinous rice cakes for me. When Uncle Shijing came back to see that I was there, he called I came back and asked my parents and sister to go over for dinner. Where are father, mother and sister, let's go there quickly."
Wang Chenshi hastily pushed her son: "Shu Ping, call Shang Su Su and Yu Ting over quickly."
Wang Shuping came back to his senses, and handed the paper bag to his mother: "I'll go and tell my father. Brother Yan, your mother and younger sister are in the backyard, you go and call them."
"Why!"
Hearing that Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an called their son and son to go over for dinner, and that their grandson would go over to copy books every afternoon from tomorrow, Wang Wenhe was also stunned. When he came back to his senses, he didn't stop his son, but just told his son not to mention the family business after he passed, and to eat well.
Wang Shuping carried a jar of homemade pickles, and took his wife, son and daughter to Wang Shijing’s house as guests. Shao Yun’an liked to eat pickles made by the villagers, but he didn’t know how to cook them himself. suitable.
When they arrived at Wang Shijing's house, both Zhao Yuande and Zhao Yuanqing had already arrived. Zhao He and Shao Yunan were busy in the kitchen. Li Caijuan was a woman, so she couldn't help in the kitchen, so she washed vegetables in the yard. Shao Yunan specially boiled a pot of hot water for her. Zhao Yuande, Zhao Yuanqing and Wang Shijing were talking in the room. When Wang Shuping and his wife came, Li Caijuan had found a companion. Wang Shuping was dragged into the house by Zhao Yuan, and Wang Shijing made him a cup of red dates, wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea. It was cold, and drinking chrysanthemum tea alone was a bit cold. Wang Yuting was taken to Wang Qing's side by her brother. Wang Yuting was one year older than the woolen girl. The two girls each took a piece of glutinous rice cake and sat quietly beside her brother.
Wang Shijing was very generous, so Wang Shuping let go. Zhao Yuanqing pushed the plate of glutinous rice cakes in front of Wang Shuping, and said, "Sister-in-law made it, it's delicious, Brother Shuping, if you come a little later, it will be gone."
Wang Shuping picked up one, took a bite, and nodded, "It's delicious."
Before Wang Shuping came, Zhao Yuande and Zhao Yuanqing were discussing the jam business with Wang Shijing. When he came, the two stopped talking, and Zhao Yuande asked Wang Shijing instead: "Dean Cen is willing to write notes for Qing Geer himself?" Book, is it possible for Brother Qing to go to Baiyue Academy?"
Wang Shijing shook his head: "Yun'an has this plan, but Baiyue Academy is not so easy to get into. Dean Cen is willing to give the book because he thinks highly of us. It would be bad if we make this request. If you want me, Qing As long as my brother has a book to read, he can do it anywhere."
Wang Shuping said: "If you can intercede with the county magistrate, it's better to go to Baiyue Academy."
Wang Shijing said: "You can't go to an adult for this kind of thing, it depends on Brother Qing's own ability. Yun'an wants to find a violinist for Nizi to learn the piano. He said that it is a skill for a girl to learn the piano, and he also let Nizi learn the piano. Brother Kanqing read characters together, saying that female dolls cannot read, but they must be polite, and Nizi also likes to learn."
Wang Shuping said with emotion: "Yun'an has an idea, you're right to listen to him more."
Zhao Yuande and Zhao Yuanqing echoed: "Yes, you are right to listen to him." Zhao Yuande also teased: "You really picked up a treasure."
Wang Shijing nodded shamelessly: "Well, Yun'an is a treasure, luckily I picked it up."
"You shameless..." The other three were speechless. In fact, Wang Shuping was very happy that Wang Shijing treated him so casually.
A scent wafted in from outside the house, and the four men couldn't sit still. After waiting anxiously for a while, I finally heard Zhao He's "Sound of Nature".
"It's time to eat, the people in the house should close the table quickly."
The four men immediately moved the big tables, and those who cleared the tea bowls cleared the tea bowls, and the children rushed over from the next door to wait for the meal.
In the cold weather, Shao Yunan cooked boiled pork slices, yellow braised chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, radish rib soup, steamed pumpkin, fried pork slices with sauerkraut, stir-fried mushrooms and Wang Qing, Nizi’s favorite vinegar potato shreds, a total of seven dishes a soup. When the dishes were served in pots and pots, everyone's saliva started to splash.
Shao Yunan divided the dishes into two portions. The five children sat around a small table, and the adults sat around a large table. Li Caijuan and Qian Susu felt uncomfortable at the man's table, and ran to the table with the children.
Wang Shuping, Zhao Yuande and Zhao Yuanqing praised Shao Yunan's delicious cooking, Zhao He clamored to learn cooking from Shao Yunan, Li Caijuan and Qian Susu couldn't help but want to follow suit. Shao Yun'an didn't care, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, to grab a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach." Brother He Zi, sister-in-law and younger siblings must learn from it, and if their men are dishonest, their rations will be cut off. "
"Haha... That's a good idea! Yun'an still has an idea!" The daughter-in-laws laughed, and the husbands were all embarrassed.
A meal shortened the distance between each other, and when everyone left after the meal, Shao Yun'an wrapped glutinous rice cakes for them and took them home. Wang Shijing sent them out, but he walked beside Wang Shuping. Seeing this, Zhao Yuande pulled his younger brother to take a step ahead. Wang Shuping deliberately lagged behind his wife, and asked in a low voice, "Shijing, what's the matter?"
Wang Shijing replied in a low voice: "Brother Shuping, Yun'an and I both hope that you can be the patriarch, and we also think that only you are qualified to be the patriarch. It's not that Yun'an and I don't care about the clan, it's just that the clan is too chaotic now. If you If I have the heart, I will go tell Father Wang."
Wang Shuping was very moved, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I understand the concerns of you and Yun'an. I won't hide it from you. I do have this thought. It's because of my age that I'm afraid I won't be convinced. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. Where I need you, brother will not be polite to you."
"Um."
Patting Wang Shijing on the shoulder, Wang Shuping said, "Go back and have a good time with Yun'an."
"I will."
Wang Shuping walked quickly to catch up with his wife and children, and Wang Shijing turned and went home.
==================================================== ================================ Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan come to copy books every afternoon, and tutor Wang Qing by the way, they also treat it as a Re-learn aside. Regardless of the books given by Dean Cen, the annotations on the enlightenment books given by Master Guan and Chen gave them a new understanding. The best masters in Yongxiu County either study in the county or in Baiyue Academy. Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan study in ordinary private schools in the county, so they will naturally have different harvests.
Shao Yunan would still rescue Wang Qing and Nizi in his own way every morning. The idiom stories and some allusions he told the two children attracted Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan's great interest, and the arithmetic and multiplication formulas made them even more novel. Every afternoon, when the two children came, they would first ask Uncle Wang Qingan what he said today. Wang Qing would repeat it, Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan would write it down, and asked Wang Qing to teach them again. Wang Qing could not write many words, and Shao Yunan could not It was written so that not only Wang Qing and Wang Ni could review it, but also Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan could learn from it.
Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan felt that although Uncle An didn't know many words, he seemed to be more powerful than Master. Zhao Yuande and Wang Shuping didn't expect their children to have such a harvest, and the two families were even more grateful to Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an.
Shao Yunan tasted the jujube ginger sauce and hawthorn sauce that Zhao He made, and Shao Yunan gave some comments. After Zhao He followed suit and improved, he found that the taste was indeed much better than what they made before. The Zhao family began to prepare for the large batch of jams from years ago. Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan go to study at Wang Shijing's house every day, and sometimes have dinner there by the way, and have snacks in the afternoon. The two children don't want to go to their own home. Put more energy into the busyness of years ago and the busyness of your own family.
On November 18th, bursts of firecrackers added a lot of excitement to the peaceful Xiushui Village. Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan's new house is finally going to be erected. Raising the beam is a major event, and a good day and auspicious day must be chosen. This day is a suitable day for going to the beam. Wang Qing and Wang Ni are happily running around watching their new house. Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan, who are already familiar with the two, look at them so that they will not be bullied again. Yes, there is no gunpowder at this time, only bamboo is lit, but even so, it is very lively.
On the day of Shangliang, Wang Shijing set up five large pots at the door of the new house. In each large pot, a large pot of meat and vegetables such as rabbit meat, pheasant, pork, dried mushrooms, and fungus were stewed. Wang Shijing didn't set up a special table, and the villagers brought their bowls and chopsticks to pick up whatever they wanted to eat, and there were enough steamed buns. The whole village, old and young, was in a state of excitement, rushing to Wang Shijing's new house with their bowls and chopsticks.
Wang Wenhe also came, but not to eat, but to see the new house of Wang Shijing's family, with a lot of smiles on his face. Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an's acceptance and kindness towards his grandson made him feel much better. In addition, his grandson did learn a lot here, especially those novel things, and he also had a different understanding of Shao Yun'an. But Wang Wenhe, who had been disappointed with Wang Zhisong, seemed to see hope again, and this hope was his own grandson. Coupled with Wang Shuping's constant enlightenment, Wang Wenhe had already thought about it a lot, and he also moved to let go of the patriarch. The mind of the job, the candidate is his son Wang Shuping.
Wang Wenhe didn't take the bowl. When Shao Yunan saw it, he stuffed a pair of bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and called Wang Qing to scoop up a big bowl of meat for him. Wang Wenhe didn't push, and was called by Li Zheng to eat together. Only Wang Benlu and Wang Dafu's family did not show up, and no one called them. The former probably had no face and courage to come over to eat; the latter was probably stopped by Wang Zhisong. I heard that Mrs. Wang is already able to go to the field. With her temperament that loves to take advantage, she didn't show up today. Obviously, someone didn't let her come.
Why doesn't Mrs. Wang want to come? Not only does she want to come, Wang Chunxiu also wants to come, but Wang Zhisong firmly stops them at home. Wang Zhisong is really scared now. His identity as Tong Shenglang has been preserved, but the county school told him that it will be spring Then go back to study in February. Wang Zhisong remembered that Shao Yun'an said at the time that there would be no more contact between the two families. He was afraid that if his mother and Juanjuan showed up and angered Shao Yun'an, he would be in danger again, so he refused to let his mother and sister go.
At home, Mrs. Wang scolded Wang Shijing for being unfilial, scolded Shao Yun'an for being a funeral star, and came here to punish their family. She even scolded Wang Dali for being incompetent. Well, he, the Patriarch, didn't even dare to fart.
Wang Chunxiu persuaded from the side, but she had her own ideas in her heart. She could see clearly that her eldest brother and his wife really fell into the eyes of the county magistrate. I heard that the county magistrate is not yet married, if she can restore her relationship with her eldest brother's family, then her marriage is not...
The more Wang Chunxiu thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. She went into her brother's room and whispered to him, although she wanted to stop her mother from going there in the future, but they are all brothers and sisters of the elder brother, they apologized to the elder brother a few times, no matter what, they are all brothers, breaking the bones. It's a muscle. If the eldest brother forgives them, then Shao Yun'an is nothing to be afraid of. With Wang Zhisong's fame in the future, is she afraid that her marriage will not be settled? Wang Chunxiu also hinted that the county magistrate Wang Zhisong has not yet married a wife, even if he cannot be a wife, being a concubine is still a matter of face. Wang Chunxiu's appearance is indeed not ugly. If you look closely, she still has some similarities with Wang Shijing.
Wang Zhisong was a little moved by what he said, but he was also afraid. He was really afraid of being beaten this time. After these incidents, Wang Zhisong knew that no one in his family could be trusted. On the other hand, the eldest brother, not to mention the money, was close to the county magistrate. I heard that even the dean of the county school, Cen, sent books to Wang Qing. I can really forgive him. Is he afraid that his future future will not come to fruition? Wang Zhisong is now eager to find a strong backer for himself, and that backer is currently only his elder brother.
Wang Chunxiu encouraged them from the side, saying that they should just go over and have a look, since there are so many people there, they are not considered to be alone. In the past, if I said a few auspicious words, my eldest brother and sister-in-law could still drive them away. Wang Zhisong thought about it for a long time, and nodded in agreement. The two teamed up to persuade Mrs. Wang, promising to bring her back a big bowl of meat, and they managed to keep Mrs. Wang from following.
Shao Yun'an was talking to Zhao He, when Tang Genshu trotted over and shouted, "Uncle An, I see Wang Zhisong and Wang Chunxiu are coming this way."
Shao Yun'an immediately turned cold: "How thick-skinned you are, you can come to my house again, I can speak so badly." That family is like flies on the dish to him, and it's disgusting. It is considered a talent to be able to disgust this man to such an extent.
Zhao He hurriedly comforted him: "If Daomen knew what face is, he wouldn't be able to do those things. Now that you and Ishii are rich and have friendship with the county magistrate, it would be strange if Daomen didn't come to please you." Zhao He After whispering a few words to Tang Genshu, Tang Genshu nodded and ran away.
Shao Yunan had doubts on his face. Zhao He said: "They are Ishii's younger siblings. No matter how much Ishii hates them, he can't push them away when there are so many people around today. This is what they can rely on again and again. Everyone in the village knows that your family is like the master. If you don't show up, Ishii can handle it easily, just wait."
Shao Yun'an was extremely disgusted: "I know what it means to be a Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death."
"... what do you mean?"
"Xiaoqiang is also known as cockroach."
"... puchi"
Zhao He burst out laughing, thinking that the Wang family, who always had their eyes high above their heads, was compared to that dirty bug by Shao Yunan, he suddenly felt a little sympathetic to that family. Zhao He shook his head in his heart, that Tong Shenglang...
