In fact, listening to the fat dad shouting at the fat boy to turn over, I felt inexplicably funny.
In response to Fat Dad's praise, Zhu Ping'an had a silly smile on his face and repeatedly bowed to Fat Dad, saying that he didn't deserve it.
Afterwards, Fatty expressed his emotion about how much effort he had put into educating Fatty. He talked for a long time and was very pleased that Fatty had won the first place in the case.
The fat man in the corner heard his father talking about how much effort he put into educating him. He covered his buttocks that were beaten to pieces with one hand and said quietly, "I didn't see how much effort you put in..."
In fact, the fat man had another thing in his heart that he didn't dare to say out loud, which was that I didn't see how much effort you put in for me, but you beat and scolded me all day long. I didn't have the ability to pass the exam, so I gave birth to a child and pinned my hopes on the next generation... ...
As soon as the fat man finished speaking, the fat father was furious, gasping for breath, pointing at the fat man and scolding him, "You rebellious son, I took half a month off to teach you a lesson and come back to beat you!"
The fat mother came over quickly to help the fat father calm down, and winked at the fat man to make him admit his mistake quickly.
The fat man admitted his mistake reluctantly.
"Ping An, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. Even though he failed the exam, his good friend got the first place, which is also something worth celebrating. He is really a promising young man. Let's go and find a restaurant to celebrate for you." Although Fat Dad looks serious, he is actually a very easy-to-talk to person.
But how could this be possible? The fat guy was already feeling depressed because he failed the exam, and this would just be rubbing salt into his wounds.
"Thank you for your kindness, uncle. But Ping'an has already made an appointment with my uncle and several villagers. I'm afraid I will have to let you down this time." Zhu Ping'an bowed and politely declined Fat Dad's invitation.
"What's the point of celebrating with them? Let's go. Even though I failed the exam, I can still donate money to become a student. We can take the provincial exam together then." The fat man was only disappointed for a moment, then he started to celebrate again without any care in his heart.
"Donate. I told you to donate!" Fatty got angry again when he heard that, and grasped the thick stick to make the fat guy understand in a minute.
"Why not donate? If you don't pay, I will. This damn exam has made my son hungry and thin." The fat mother protected the fat boy behind her and glared at the fat father.
"A loving mother often spoils her child!" Fat Dad was very dissatisfied with Fat Mom's behavior, "Look at Ping An Lang."
"You donated it all." The fat man poked his head out from behind the fat lady and said in a low voice.
When you hit someone, you hit their face. When you expose someone, you expose their weaknesses. Fatty's words directly hit Fatty Dad's weak spot, causing Fatty Dad's serious face to turn red and his breathing to become even heavier. The veins on his hand holding the stick were exposed, as if he was about to kill his relatives for the sake of justice.
Donating to a prison was very popular at that time.
The boy's exam is full of hurdles. For people like Fatty Fatty who failed the exam, are there other ways to enter the government? In fact, candidates who have never taken the boy's exam or the imperial examination can also participate in the provincial exam. The method is to participate in the so-called "paying grain to enter the academy". This system began in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Paying grain to enter the academy means donating silver to become a student and obtaining the qualification to enter the provincial exam (more often, people who have money but don't study don't enter the exam after donating), and it is not necessary to study in the Imperial Academy. This is commonly known as donating to become a student, also known as regular student or donating to become a student. "Ming History. Election Records": "Routine students began in the sixth year of Jingtai (1455) because of the extremely difficult border affairs, and those who paid grain and horses throughout the country were ordered to enter the academy to study." It's just that this method is always looked down upon.
Fatty tried hard for a long time. Fatty's father just didn't agree to donate a prison to Fatty, and it was useless no matter what Fatty's mother said.
But with the Fatty's behavior, it would be useless to take the test again.
"Uncle, logically speaking, Ping'an should not butt in on your family affairs. But Ping'an has a few things in his mind that he has to say. The college examination is different from the provincial examination. It pays less attention to policy essays and more attention to the four books and eight-legged essay. Different people are good at different policy essays and the four books and eight-legged essay. Although the way of donating money to study for a master's degree is sometimes looked down upon, there are always exceptions. For example, Luo Gui of our Ming Dynasty failed the boy's examination seven times when he took the examination, but after donating money to study for a master's degree, he won the first place in the provincial examination and the metropolitan examination. I think that although brother Xue is not good at the four books and eight-legged essay, he is very good at policy essays. Therefore, uncle, you may give brother Xue a chance. No one can say that brother Xue will not be the next Luo Gui." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands, presented facts and evidence, and his tone was extremely inflammatory.
After hearing this, Fatty was stunned for a long time, but finally nodded and said, "Ping An Lang is so convincing, he really has a good heart. Well, then give this rebellious son of mine a chance."
Hearing this, the fat man jumped up high with a roar, and his fat face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.
"Brother Zhu, you are truly my second parent." The fat man was so excited that his speech was incoherent.
Reborn parents?!
When Fat Dad heard this, his face darkened and he involuntarily tightened the stick.
... ...
What a chaotic day.
Zhu Ping'an was dragged by Fatty's family to the restaurant that Fatty's father had booked to celebrate. Fatty got his father's nod to donate money to the prison, and he was happier than if he had won the first prize. He ate a lot and drank a lot, and soon he was drunk and fell under the table. Fatty's father's face turned black at that time. If Zhu Ping'an hadn't been there, Fatty would have beaten Fatty up.
Zhu Ping'an was also a little drunk, so Fatty asked a strong servant to take Zhu Ping'an back to the inn where he was staying.
Zhu Ping'an returned to the inn, took a hot bath, and washed his face with cold water. Only then did his mind become a little clearer.
Alas, I can't drink like this anymore, it's bad for my health. Teenagers are in the growth and development period, drinking has a serious impact on their normal physiological functions and development, leading to memory loss and even the normal function of friction friction will decline.
Therefore, for the sake of your future happiness, you should take this as a warning.
Zhu Ping'an shook his slightly dizzy head, sat down at the desk, spread out a piece of rice paper, and wrote two big words "quit drinking" on it.
At this time, the sun had just set. Zhu Pingan sat at the table and watched the sun gradually sink into the west mountain. He couldn't help but think of his parents who were far away in Xiahe Village. In a few days, his parents should also receive the good news from the county. His father himself didn't know, but his mother Chen would definitely show off to everyone. It seemed that everyone could imagine the scene at that time. No matter what they talked about, his mother Chen would definitely talk about my son's first place in the case, hehe... ...
However, I do feel a little sad for my grandparents. They had high hopes for my uncle. When he came for the college entrance examination, my grandfather said at the door that my uncle would have no problem this time and asked him to work harder. It's a pity that my uncle failed again. How disappointed my grandfather must have been when he heard the news.
Moreover, in order to protect the face of my uncle, my grandfather put the blame of loan sharking on my father and was also divided from the family. Now the son he protected once again failed the exam, while the son of the son who took the blame and was divided from the family was the top scorer in the high school exam.
I wonder how my grandparents will feel when they find out the news.
Every family has its own problems. (To be continued)
