Proof of Longevity

One day ended in Zhang Shiyang's teaching. Seeing that the sky was almost over, Zhang Shiyang waved the ruler in his hand: "Okay, that's it for today's course. Please review it after you get home, especially you guys." . After speaking, he glanced at the children who were preparing to learn martial arts: "After going home, copy the book quickly. If the copy is not good within ten days, how will I punish you?" The necks of the children were like chickens pecking rice: "Teacher, rest assured, we will complete the task within the prescribed time." Zhang Shiyang waved his hand: "Well, everyone, let's go home."

A group of children broke up in a rush, and not long after they went away cleanly. Zhang Shiyang got up and slowly followed the children and walked towards Ma Hao's house. After reaching the place, he knocked on the door and a beautiful voice came from inside: "Who?" "It's me, Zhang Shiyang, the teacher at the head of the village, is Ma Hao home?". Then Zhang Shiyang heard a sound of footsteps from far and near, and the door creaked and opened a gap, revealing a face covered by a veil. His big eyes glanced at Zhang Shiyang, and then the door was completely closed. Open: "It turns out that it is Mr. who is in the humble house, please come in quickly".

Zhang Shiyang arched his hands and said, "I'm disturbing." Then stepped into the house, and after taking a seat, Widow Horse poured water on Zhang Shiyang. At this time, Ma Hao rushed to hear the sound and saw Zhang Shiyang immediately salute: "It turned out that it was the husband who came, and I met the husband." Zhang Shiyang nodded and glanced at Ma Hao: "This is not a classroom, no need to be polite." After Ma Hao bowed and sat aside, Zhang Shiyang looked at Widow Ma: "I don't know how to call it?"

Widow Ma replied: "The slave family's real name is Wang, Jiaojiao, my husband can call me Mrs. Ma or Mrs. Wang. I haven't asked Mr. What can I do in the humble house this time? Is it because Haoer made a mistake in the school? ?".

Zhang Shiyang shook his head when he heard the words, "That's not true. Ma Hao is the most talented disciple in my school. I took the liberty to visit my wife this time, but he wanted to make plans for Ma Hao's future?" "Oh" Ma The wife was surprised when she heard the words: "Mr. Please advise." Zhang Shiyang nodded and said, "Needless to say, Ma Hao's talent, presumably his wife also knows it, and Ma Hao studies hard. In my opinion, he may not be the champion in the future. After taking the exam, you can take the examination for scholars in the next year after you are admitted to the children’s students, and you can take the examinations for talents within three years. There are a lot of them, and Ma Hao might not fail to be the top pick in high school."

Madam Ma asked excitedly after hearing the words: "Does my son really have this talent?". Zhang Shiyang nodded: "Sentences are true." Madam Ma turned her head to look at Ma Hao: "Is my son confident?" Ma Hao nodded when he heard the words: "I have confidence, my mother can rest assured, my child will definitely be high school in the future." Zhang Shiyang looked at Madam Ma and said, "Ma'am, Ma Hao will be admitted as a child student in the future. After being a talented student, he must go to the county school and the prefecture to study. Then I think he will need to spend a lot of money." Madam Ma's smile faded gradually, her expression gloomy.

Zhang Shiyang went on to say: "I also know the situation in your family. Originally, I directly took out the silver to help Ma Hao, but the influence of rumors will not be good at that time." Madam Ma lowered her head and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Ma to help me find a way." Zhang Shiyang said: "Presumably Ma Hao had told you about the job I made to make money for you yesterday, but the wife was unwilling. Presumably the wife was afraid that it would have a bad influence on him. But the wife, think about it, those big families. I didn't hire a few women to do housework, sewing and mending, and Ma Hao would need a lot of money in order to become a talent in the future. Why not think about it?"

Where did Mrs. Ma look down? Yesterday when Ma Hao mentioned it, Mrs. Ma’s first reaction was that Zhang Shiyang saw his face when he was seriously ill last time, and put his hand into his quilt. God knows if he has taken advantage of him, and this kind of pie in the sky actually falls on him. Madam Ma’s first thought was that Zhang Shiyang wanted to catch her attention, so she refused. Although she lived poorly, she was not the kind of person who pleased people with sex. Seeing Zhang Shiyang here in person today, looking at his eyes, clear, without the slightest desire, it makes people feel comfortable watching. Madam Ma can't help but believe it, and her son does need a lot of silver in the future. Reading, with my family background, can't support such a large expenditure anyway. So nodding is a sign of agreement.

Zhang Shiyang nodded and stood up: "If this is the case, then I won't bother Madam Xia, let me say goodbye." After he walked out of the yard, Madam Ma and Ma Hao got up and saw Zhang Shiyang's back gradually away. Madam Ma retracted her gaze and touched Ma Hao's head: "Haoer, you must study hard in the future, and have a fight in the future. Fame is not in vain of the painstaking efforts of Mr. and Mother." Ma Hao nodded obediently after hearing the words: "Mother don't worry, the child must study hard, and the child will not disappoint the mother and the husband." Madam Ma nodded with satisfaction and led Ma Hao into the house.

When Zhang Shiyang walked home, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, calming Mrs. Ma. Afterwards, Ma Hao's money for the study journey was indeed less troublesome, and he could have a reason to help Ma Hao in the future.

When I got home, I first fed the green cow, rabbits, birds, and parrots. Recently, Zhang Shiyang's pill has been used to gradually develop some spiritual wisdom. With the surname of Ling, I have learned a few words every time I see you. When Zhang Shiyang arrives, he will say hello. After feeding these little animals, Zhang Shiyang started cooking. This time he fried a few side dishes, such as scrambled eggs with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and scrambled eggs with cucumbers. Alas, they are all eggs. It.

Just after eating, the two black dogs didn’t know where they came out. With the recent pill, the two dogs have grown almost like a calf. Even the missing lone wolf on the mountain saw this. Both dogs should stay far away. This time the two dogs brought back a goat and a deer, Zhang Shiyang couldn't help but sighed secretly, is this still a dog? Two dogs were rewarded with a pill, and then he turned off the lights and went to sleep. The next day Zhang Shiyang got up early, prepared two cauldrons, stewed the deer and goats, and then waited for the students to come home and call their parents. Come to eat meat, the meat in Zhang Shiyang's house really can't put it down, there is a cart of dried meat. These meats are given to the people in the village, which can be regarded as thanking them for their previous help.

Soon there was a lively noise in the village, "Sir, please eat meat." The wind spread throughout the village, and people rushed towards Zhang Shiyang's house. A long way away, everyone shouted: "Sir, sir, I don't know if the meat is cooked through, I brought some coriander." "I brought some peppers," "I brought some garlic," "I brought,,," people brought some ingredients one after another.

Everyone knows that Zhang Shiyang does not have vegetables, and some people even hold a large bag of green vegetables: "Sir, it is better to wash the vegetables and put them in the pot. Then everyone will have a good meal and eat more. There are a lot of them in the village. People, the meat in these two cauldrons is not enough." Zhang Shiyang nodded when he heard the words, and people began to get busy, washing vegetables, chopping wood, and even some people brought rice. It was lively now, and some people brought their own wine, but there were many people and power, and after a short while, they were actually busy.

A pot of fragrant meat was picked up and chopped into pieces by Qing Zhuang with a machete. Then everyone drank soup and wine on the vegetables, feeling so happy. These people don’t eat meat a few times throughout the year. This time they have Zhang Shiyang’s goats and deer, but everyone is relieved. Now it’s almost winter. Everyone has nothing to do. They are all busy at home and sometimes go up to the mountain to fight. Hunting, paying homage to the belly, of course, everyone is ordinary villagers, unable to catch some big prey, can only fight some small animals such as rabbits, spores, pheasants, and it is quite difficult to fight, it depends on luck . When Zhang Shiyang thought of this, he had an idea in his mind.
