Downriver Village, the sun hangs high in the middle, warm sunshine sprinkled down, adding a ray of warmth to the deep winter downriver village.
Outside the village on the avenue, a figure shaking his head slowly walked, lightly stepped into the lower river village, seems to be in the silent recitation of poetry, but also seems to be sleeping at night sleep pillow, shaking the neck to soothe the ……
Nearer.
The visitor is a fair faced middle-aged man, wearing a four-sided pingding scarf on his head, wearing a brand new jade-coloured silk student uniform, long sleeves fluttering between walks, quite a bit of suave and elegant feeling, it is Zhu Pingan’s eldest uncle, Zhu Shouren.
“His eldest uncle came back …….”
After Zhu Shouren entered the village, the village people sunbathing at the entrance of the village laughed and waved their hands to greet Zhu Shouren.
Nowadays, when the village people greeted the Zhu family, they all used Zhu Pingan as the default value, for example, for Zhu father, the village people addressed him as his father; for Zhu mother, the village people addressed him as his mother; for the Zhu family’s old man, the village people addressed him as his grandfather. Therefore, for Zhu Shouren, the village people called him uncle.
In the past, when the village people addressed the Zhu family, they used Zhu Shouren as the default value.
Regarding this change, Zhu Shouren had slowly become accustomed to it from his initial resistance and loss.
“Well, of course. A certain person in the county to study and prepare for the examination do not know when, this morning suddenly remembered that for a long time has not been in front of their parents to do filial piety, the inner fear, special home a trip to do filial piety at the knees of their parents, and then return to the county to continue to study on another day.”
Zhu Shouren back hands, high head glanced diagonally at the village people sunbathing, with the arrogance of the reader dropped two sentences of the bag.
After speaking, just like an immortal crane, he proudly walked through a group of earth chickens and ducks.
After Zhu Shouren walked away, the people sunbathing at the entrance of the village couldn’t help but talk around the topic of Zhu Shouren.
“His eldest uncle thinks of himself too much as a character, he doesn’t even look at us with a straight face.”A villager said in dissatisfaction.
“That’s right. Look at Ping’an, after he won the Scholarship, he still has a long uncle and a short uncle, and has never put up a fight. His eldest uncle is still only a student, he’s not even a Xiucai, so he’s not making such a big deal out of it.”
The village people disdainfully said.
“To say a word to drop the bag, listen to me as if I understand, but also as if I do not understand, just now he said that a bunch of what does it mean?”A village people some seem to understand, confused, asked the person next to him.
“The general idea is to go to the county to study for a long time, want to parents, come back to do filial piety, and then go back.”
The next person skimmed his mouth and said.
“What? Went to the county to study for a long time? Didn’t he just go to the county three days ago? What makes it a long time?!”
“Doing his filial duty? His uncle is so focused on studying for the imperial examinations that he doesn’t do any farming, housework, or heavy lifting, so how can he do his filial duty?”
“People Ping’an, when he was a child, herding cows and working in the field, everything is not down, not still won the Scholarship, he is good, nothing to do, just study, but now is still a boy, not even a Xiu Cai.”
The village people not without ridicule.
At the time when the village people were talking, Zhu Shouren had already walked into the Zhu family’s old mansion.
“Huh? Why are you back?”
Wu, the great aunt who was nailing the soles of her shoes under the sun in the courtyard, could not help but be surprised when she saw that Zhu Shouren had returned.
Knowing that only three days ago, she had sent Zhu Shouren away from home to go to the county to warm up his books and prepare for the exams, how did he come home so quickly.
“Cough cough, I suddenly remembered this morning that I haven’t done my filial piety in front of my parents for a long time, and felt ashamed, so I came back, and did my filial piety in front of my parents for two days before going back to prepare for the exam properly.”Zhu Shouren coughed and said.
Wu looked at Zhu Shouren suspiciously.
“The boss is back, well, in the outside food is not good right, the old big family, go to the chicken nest to touch two eggs, later fried a small onion eggs, good for the boss to make up. This scholar, it takes the most brains.”
Zhu old lady Liu heard the sound and came out from the house, her hair was even thinner, after seeing Zhu Shouren, she was full of wistful joy and heartache, she instructed Wu to fry two eggs at noon to Zhu Shouren to make up for his body.
“Boss, you don’t study properly in the county to prepare for the exam, why did you come back?”Elder Zhu came in from outside smoking a dry cigarette at this time, questioning with a displeased face.
He was walking outside, heard the village people say Zhu Shouren came back, he is still some disbelief, after all, Zhu Shouren only three days ago to go to the county to warm up the book preparation for the examination, how can it be so fast back, naturally do not believe it, but several village people said, Zhu old man is also a little unsure, come back to see what the hell, did not expect to enter the door of the house just to see the yard mortar and pestle of Zhu Shouren, suddenly heart unhappy up.
“Cough cough, father, when I was reading this morning, I suddenly remembered that I haven’t done my filial piety in front of my parents for a long time, and I felt ashamed, so I came back to do my filial piety in front of my parents for two days before going back to prepare for the exams properly.”
Zhu Shouren coughed and repeated it again.
When Master Zhu heard this, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of phlegm, forcefully knocked the pot of eye bags in his hand to the sole of his shoe, and said with an angry face, “I bah! You come back to do what filial piety? Usually I don’t see you doing your filial piety! If you study hard and become a scholar, that’s the best way to fulfil your filial piety!”
Seeing Elder Zhu losing his temper, Old Madam Zhu stepped forward and said, “Old man, what are you talking about? It’s easy for our eldest son to study, just come back for two days and then go back again, it’s worth your temper.”
“Loving mothers often fail their children! It’s all your fault! You can’t just fish for three days and then put the net out of the water for two days! Look at how the swine’s son reads, in the morning before dawn, before the chickens have crowed, he gets up, reads and practices; at night, in the middle of the night, when everyone is asleep, the swine’s son is still reading and practising his calligraphy by the oil lamp. It was because he studied so hard that he was able to win the Scholarship! You, as an elder uncle, can’t you learn from this, study hard, and take the examination for a scholar as soon as possible!”
Elder Zhu glared at Elder Mrs Zhu and disliked her twice, then glared at Zhu Shouren, foaming at the mouth as he lectured.
“My family’s good eldest son also works very hard ……”Hearing Elder Zhu compare Zhu Shouren with Zhu Pingan, Elder Mrs Zhu’s tone couldn’t help but weaken by three points, knowing a child is not like a mother, after all, the fact is, Zhu Shouren’s degree of diligence is far less than Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Shouren resentfully shrunk his head.
“Hurry up, your mother and I can’t die in a short time! You’ve seen it all, hurry back and study hard!”
Elder Zhu glared and scolded.
“Old man you hypnotise the soul, what’s the hurry ah, reading is not urgent this moment, wait for the boss to finish eating before leaving is not too late.”
Zhu old lady escorted.
“Alas.”Zhu old man deeply sighed, fiercely glared at Zhu Shouren, no good mood, “After dinner grabbed back to study!”
“Alas, son obeys. Son will leave after eating.”Zhu Shouren nodded repeatedly.
