The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-law

Zhulan brought all the things, and it was up to the county to decide whether to take the four or five county exams, so Zhou Shuren had to stay at least five nights. He had to bring thick quilts, at least three sets of clothes, and thick shoes.

The northern exams are really pitiful. The weather in February of the lunar calendar is still terribly cold. The county’s special exam room is not indoors. Although there is no pigeon cage pit for the rural exam, it is not much better. It sits in the south and faces the north. The mansion in the back is waiting for the name to be called, the middle is the aisle, the examiner is in the west, the east is taking the call, and the north is simple side-by-side seats, the simple examination shed, this is the seat for the candidates.

So the ventilation is very good, and it is necessary to keep the surface of the paper clean and the writing neat and tidy. It is really not easy. The advantages of the south come out. Since it is not as cold as the north, I can feel at ease in the exam.

Zhulan really learned a lot of knowledge, and secretly prayed that it would not be windy these few days!

After breakfast, Zhulan checked the luggage again, and Zhou Shuren checked the pen, ink, paper and inkstone by herself, and finally confirmed that the purse and money had been brought. Zhou Shuren and the other patriarch's ox cart arrived, and finally shook Zhulan's hand, "Wait for my good news."

When Zhulan came to the exam, she felt at ease, "Don't be harsh on yourself, go out to eat whatever you want, I brought you twenty taels, don't be reluctant to spend."

Zhou Shuren, "Well, I'm not at home, you should go to bed earlier too."

When the sons of the Zhou family saw the patriarch's grandson's wide-eyed appearance, they thought that it was rare and strange. No one in the village knew how much father cared about mother.

Zhulan didn't follow him to the county. There was not only Zhou Shuren himself in the oxcart, but also two other candidates. The oxcart seemed to be crowded. When the people left, Zhulan went back to the house.

Zhou Lao Er tugged off his wife's sleeve, Zhao shi nodded clearly, turned back to the house and carried his son into the main room.

Boss Zhou can clearly see that he was educated by his father's beating style, and he is no longer a person who only looks at the surface. Although he can't listen to all directions, he can also pay attention to the details. I didn't expect it, in my impression. The cowardly younger siblings who can only cry are also smart people, and they are suddenly heartbroken. They are the least intelligent in the entire Zhou family!

Zhulan saw that Mrs. Zhao came with the baby, so she picked it up. The youngest grandson, Mingrui, was more than two months old. Mrs. Zhao's milk was good. The baby's arms were like lotus root joints. , teased the child, and said to Mrs. Zhao, who was making needles and needles: "Seeing that it's going to be a hundred days, my father and I can't do it anymore."

Zhou Shuren will also tell Changyi about this, it doesn't matter if she and Zhao shi talk about it or not, but she is a woman who knows women better, so it is better to say it in person, so as not to have trouble in her heart.

The needle and thread in Zhao's hand almost pierced her hand. The third father-in-law was not at home, only the grandmother came. The full moon and the Chinese New Year were the coldest time. My parents-in-law didn't seem to like their family, and I thought that other poor people in the village seldom did it except for the three full moons, but I still didn't feel good about it, and the family was not a difficult family, and Mingyun and Mingteng both did it, low. Nodding, "Listen to mother."

Zhulan raised her eyebrows and knew that it would be like this, seeing the unwilling tone, she explained: "The child does not do it for 100 days, it is indeed wronged Mingrui, but catching up with your father's house is not suitable for a high-profile test, we mean the family has a meal It's a good home, so when the children are one year old, they will catch a big event at Zhou Da."

The Zhao family was excited. The two of them had confidence in their father-in-law's examination of the show. When the father-in-law became a scholar, more people would come, and it was the first grandson of the father-in-law after he became a scholar. Mingrui could also get more attention. Catching a good moral object will definitely deepen the position of the son in the mother-in-law's heart, "Mother, Mingrui is not wronged, and we have no opinion."

She doesn't have to think about it. The two boys in the eldest brother's family are big, and the in-laws like them very much. The age difference between her own and the two elders is too much. The son's age is small, and she doesn't think that his son is the youngest grandson, Chang Lian and Chang. Chi didn't even get married, she just hoped that her son could be liked by her in-laws like her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Li went out for a walk and came back, extremely excited, "Mother, dirty water has been splashed on the door of Wang Lao Si's house."
