Chapter 57 Du Xiucai passed the exam
When an official comes to the village, it's a big deal.
After a while, the village chief heard the news and ran over without even thinking about going to the ground.
"Master, are you here to collect local taxes?"
Now the crops are ready to be harvested, but everyone in the village is working on sweet potatoes, so they haven’t had time to harvest yet. Of course, the most important thing is that there are not many grains of millet on the rice stalks, and most of them are empty husks.
"The local tax will be due for a few days. The main purpose of coming here this time is to report good news." The official continued to beat the gong a few times and said, "Someone in your village has won the election."
Someone got hit?
Everyone was startled and pricked up their ears.
The third daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhang, was secretly eating melon seeds when she suddenly heard that someone had been hit. She immediately beamed, turned around and ran up to the property as a matter of course.
"Dad, mother, my eldest uncle is hit, hit."
Little Zhang's fat body jolted and rolled as she ran to the upper house, where she stood on the ridge and panted.
"Hit? Is it really true?" Mrs. Mei and Old Man Mei were shocked at the same time, their cloudy eyes sparkling with dazzling light.
"Let's go home." Old Man Mei threw away the sickle, called Mrs. Mei and hurried home.
Mrs. Mei usually doesn't go to the fields, but now that the family has been separated, she has to go to the fields with her during the autumn harvest. Mrs. Mei cuts the rice, and she follows behind to pick up the ears.
"Dad, Mom, I just saw the official entering the village, and I heard with my own ears that my eldest uncle was hit." Little Zhang gestured happily, as if he had made a fortune.
"Sister-in-law, where else are you going? My eldest brother has passed the exam. Let's go and congratulate him."
The three of them walked for a while, and when they saw Mrs. Ji walking towards the fields with a radish on her back, Mrs. Zhang quickly stepped forward to pull her, as if they were very close.
Ji avoided her hand and looked at Old Man Mei, "Dad, is your husband really hit?"
"Then there's still a day off. I haven't seen all the official officials entering the village. Why don't you go back and prepare the money for the wedding?"
Before Old Man Mei could speak, Old Mrs. Mei had already taken over the topic.
It's a big deal if the boss wins the election. Who else in the village will dare to look down on her in the future.
Mrs. Mei feels that her waist is straighter than before.
When the time comes, she must take care of that dead girl Sanya, who was left in agony in bed for a month.
The four of them hurried back in a hurry, and found that the elder Mei and the third Mei were already standing in the yard with a new look. Even the children were neatly packed. It seemed that they had received the news early.
Mrs. Mei and others also hurried back to the house and changed into new clothes, then came out and waited in the yard.
"Where are the second, fourth, and Qi Ying?" Mrs. Mei changed her clothes and came out, turned around and looked around, "There are also three losers from the second family. Where did they die after such a big thing?"
"Mom, my second uncle must have been messing around in the fields again. As for my fourth brother and sister-in-law, they must have been ordered to work by Sanya, the money-losing guy. He even injured his legs." Little Zhang said.
Stand aside and fan the flames.
She calls several brothers and sisters in her family, and sometimes calls them after the children.
"Ms. Li, this bitch, gave birth to a litter of losers and harmed my family, the Mei family. Now she has run away, leaving behind three disasters. She really married the wrong family and ruined the roots of nine generations."
When Mrs. Mei thinks of Mrs. Li, her teeth itch with hatred.
"Mom, stop talking, the official is here."
Listening to the sound of gongs and drums getting closer, Mrs. Mei frowned and stopped Mrs. Mei from cursing.
For this moment, he had worked hard for many years and spent a lot of money.
It’s finally happening!
Boss Mei was so excited that he wished he could laugh three times and go for a walk in the village to make those who had laughed at him crawl under his feet.
The official officer gradually approached and arrived in front of the Mei family. When everyone in the Mei family was about to greet him, they found that the official did not even stop, he passed directly in front of the door, and then... left.
Everyone in the Mei family "..."
Melome followed a group of people to watch the fun, and followed them all the way to the neighbor Wang's house.
Aunt Wang's family name is not Wang, but Du. The reason why she is always called Aunt Wang instead of Aunt Du is because of her own request. People in the village are also accustomed to calling her Aunt Wang.
"Excuse me, are Du Lanfeng and Du Xiucai here?" The official stopped in front of Aunt Wang's house and greeted her respectfully.
"Here, here, we are here."
Aunt Wang heard the sound and ran out in a hurry, holding a handful of sweet potato vines in her hand.
Du Lanfeng followed Aunt Wang out, with a sweet potato leaf stuck to her sleeve.
Official: "Who is Du Lanfeng?"
"Lord, I'm here."
Du Lanfeng patted his sleeves, brushed off the sweet potato leaves, and then bowed with his hands.
"Congratulations to Du Xiucai, who ranked 38th in the provincial examination, and congratulations on becoming a candidate." The official took out the document and handed it to Du Lanfeng, "Work hard and keep up the good work. I hope to see you again next time."
Du Lanfeng raised the corners of his lips, smiled gently, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cha."
Seeing this, Aunt Wang immediately took out two money bags from her body and stuffed them into the official's hands, "It's such a small thing, the official is lucky to have suffered."
After a while of shirk, the two finally took the money bag and left happily.
As soon as the official left, the group of people who had just followed to see the fun immediately swarmed up and squeezed into the courtyard of the Du family. They spoke endlessly of congratulations and never repeated them, which made Melomei look stunned.
I wanted to go up and congratulate him, but looking at my small body, I thought about it and decided not to.
Come back another day!
Melome turned around and walked back to her own field, and saw that the sweet potato vines had already been planted in the ground. She checked and found that they were all planted according to her own method, and she felt relieved.
This cheap dad is quite reliable in farm work!
"Dad, how much of our land is left unplanted?"
"Come on, just plant this little bit and that's it. Tomorrow we can harvest the millet first and then plant the potatoes you mentioned."
Mei Laoer dug a hole, Mei Luoxing quickly threw a sweet potato vine into it, and Mei Luotao poured manure water behind it.
"Third sister, if you have nothing to do, come and plant the seedlings. I'll go behind and cover them with soil, otherwise the manure and water will dry up in a while." Mero Xing finished putting down the sweet potato vines in her hands and shouted to Mero Mei.
It's hot, so it's best to cover it with soil quickly.
"There really isn't much going on today, but we may go to Madam Wang's house to congratulate her later."
Melo Mei ran and hugged a bundle of cut sweet potato vines, then ran over and followed Mei Laoer. He dug a hole and she threw a sweet potato vine.
"What's wrong, that guy Du Lanfeng passed the exam?"
Mei Qihai was sitting on the field cutting sweet potato vines. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked.
Mei Luoxing held up a hoe to cover the pit, and covered each hole with one hoe. Hearing this, she said: "Uncle, why don't you guess that the uncle has passed the exam?"
Mei Qihai: "Tch, your uncle, and only a few big fools in the family believe him. Come on, I'm going to win early, so I have to wait until now."
Several people: "..." It's hard to answer the question.
Mei Luotao paused while scooping up the feces, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Third sister, Brother Du is really hit?"
The land their family was assigned was relatively remote, so they never heard the sound of gongs and drums.
"Then there's still a day off. Officials have entered the village, and I just followed him to his house."
After Melomei threw away the seedlings in her hand, she went to Mei Qihai and picked up some more. When she was about to continue working, Mei Qiying came over with a kettle.
"The water is here, drink some water first and then do it."
