Chapter 117 Home

Along the way, fat rich businessmen and failed scholars were sent away one after another. Soon after arriving in Huaining County, Zhu Pingan was left alone in the carriage.

The closer he was to his home, the more excited Zhu Ping'an became.

The birds love the old forest, and the fish in the pond think about the old abyss. There is no place warmer than home, and no one warmer than family. It's beautiful outside, but I have to go home.

Arrived in Guashan Town, Zhu Ping'an said goodbye to the car dealership, carried his bags and walked around the town for a short distance to buy some small gifts for his family. I bought a silver earring for my mother, a small jar of ten-year-old wine for my father, and a bag of fine shredded tobacco for my grandfather...

Buying good things, carefully packing them in the bag, Zhu Pingan walked out of the town with the bag on his back.

There is a strange ox cart parked at the intersection out of Kaoshan Town. It is much longer and wider than ordinary ox carts. There are two rows of seats on it, and there is a roof made of clean linoleum on the top, which can shelter from rain and sun. In front of the car is a huge black bull with its tail twitching, and a big bell is hung around its neck.

There were already five people sitting in the carriage, and a bronze-colored and strong man in front of the **** cow was holding a water basin to feed the **** cow.

"Hey, Shouyi, look at that kid over there, is he your second youngest?" An old lady in the car saw Zhu Pingan walking towards him in the distance, she looked familiar, and couldn't help He opened his mouth and said to the man in front of him holding a water basin to feed the cows.

"Ma'am, you're here again. It's the third time this month alone." The bronze-colored and strong man said with a wry smile, and continued to feed the cattle salt water without looking up. When the third time. After the cow finished drinking, he still had to rush home. If he came home late, his mother should complain again.

Zhu Ping'an recognized his own ox cart at a glance, it was too conspicuous, so he walked towards the ox cart with his luggage on his back.

"Shouyi, Shouyi, it's really your second boy. People from the town beat gongs and drums at the door of your house a few days ago. It's not your second boy who just came back." The aunt sitting on the bullock cart Looking at Zhu Ping'an who was getting closer and closer, he believed in his eyes more and more, and couldn't help reaching out his hand excitedly to pat the cow-feeding man on the shoulder.

"Don't make trouble, ma'am. After Dahei finishes drinking the basin of water, I'll drive everyone home." The burly bronze man feeding the cow smiled wryly, as if he had been tricked by the aunt on the bullock cart.

The aunt was so excited that she couldn't help herself, she didn't know how to say it to convince the man feeding the cow, but the other people in the ox cart were not from Xiahe Village and didn't know Zhu Ping'an, which made the aunt don't know how to say it. The man who fed the cow believed it, but he just patted the man on the shoulder several times, and kept saying, "It's true, it's true..."

Although the aunt had never heard the story of the wolf coming, her mood was the same as that of the boy herding sheep in the story.

"Dad, I'm back."

When the **** cow was about to drink up a large basin of water, the man feeding the cow suddenly heard a familiar voice from above his head.

Familiar, this voice is so familiar that you can hear it even if you cover your ears.

The man feeding the cow became excited.

Regarding the excitement of the man feeding the cow, the **** cow has the most right to speak: I was drinking water well, um, the water is still a little salty, it is delicious, and I am about to finish drinking it, unexpectedly, Unexpectedly, the basin was pressed against my nose all of a sudden... tears came out...

The man who fed the cow was Zhu Ping'an's father, Zhu Shouyi. Excited, he pressed the basin in his hand to the nose of the **** cow, and then he didn't care about feeding the cow anymore. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Ping'an. There was a smile on his face, and then he pretended to be casual and said:

"Why are you back? A few days ago, someone from the town's yamen came to the house to announce the good news and said that you passed some test and got admitted to Tongsheng. They also said that you might continue to study there and then you will have to go to Yingtian to take the exam again."

Zhu Pingan put his bags on the ox cart, greeted the aunt and others on the ox cart, then took the water basin from Zhu Shouyi to help feed the cows, and explained to his father while feeding the cows: "You can get eight in the hospital examination. It takes more than a month to take the exam, and now it's only more than April, and the time is still early, and I can also study when I go home, besides, the food that mother cooks is more than a hundred times better than outside."

"It takes half a month to go back and forth, so it's better to stay there to study." Father Zhu rubbed his hands, then checked the ox cart rope buckle, looked at Zhu Pingan and said.

Before Zhu Ping'an could speak, the aunt in the car interrupted, "Hey, don't believe your father's words, you don't know why your father was so happy when the aunt teased your father for the first time that you were here." of."

"Ahem, ma'am, you're just talking nonsense..." Zhu's father felt a little embarrassed, but luckily his face was dark and he couldn't see any red.

After Zhu Ping'an got into the car, three more people came up one after another. There were nine people in the car. Father Zhu drove the **** bull out of town with a whip.

The car was also very lively. When they knew that the person sitting in the car was the youngest boy in the town, who was recently uploaded in the town, the passengers on the bullock cart either surrounded Zhu Ping'an asking this and that, or asked Father Zhu how to educate him. The child waited, for a while, it felt like a child with excellent grades after the modern college entrance examination was surrounded by parents and asked about his experience.

Zhu's father drove the bullock cart around this curved arc in an S shape and sent people from different villages on the bullock cart to their homes. After driving the bullock cart for so many years, Zhu's father could almost accurately send people with his eyes closed. delivered to their homes.

When we returned to Xiahe Village, the only passenger on the ox cart was an old lady. The aunt was a talkative person, and chatted with Zhu Pingan and Father Zhu all the way on the ox cart.

After entering Xiahe Village, I met villagers I knew one after another. The villagers all praised Zhu Pingan when they saw Zhu Ping'an. Knowing that Zhu Ping'an was admitted to Tongsheng, and he was the number one in the entire Anqing Mansion. You must know that the highest education in Xiahe Village is Tongsheng, and it was the uncle who took the exam for N years before the end of the crane. People in the village sent Zhu Pingan and others When people went to rush for the exam, no one expected that Zhu Ping'an would pass the Tongsheng exam. Now Zhu Ping'an not only passed the exam, but also ranked first in the entire Anqing Mansion, so when people see Zhu Ping'an, they can't wait to see Zhu Ping'an as a flower. , too strange.

Zhu Ping'an also greeted the neighbors one by one, which made the neighbors very happy and felt that they had face, which is what the villagers care about.

Because it took some time to talk to the neighbors, when I got home, my mother, Mrs. Chen, had already prepared the meals.

I heard the conversation between my eldest brother and my mother before entering the door.

"Mom, why did you cook another big table of dishes, chicken and fish, we can't finish it." This is the voice of the eldest brother.

"What do you know, what if the pig comes back, he is not as lucky as you outside, he can eat the meals I cook every day, and I don't know if the pig has lost weight again..." The mother's voice came next. come over.

"The restaurant outside is better..." the elder brother muttered in a low voice.

"What, Okawa, say it again, mother didn't hear clearly!" The mother's voice was three minutes higher.

"Ahem, cough, I said my mother is much more delicious than the ones made in restaurants outside..."

Under the authority of his mother Chen, the dull and honest elder brother was forced to say flattering words. It seems that the elder brother has been taught a lot for this two days.
