Let's say that during the period when Qi Yu left home, life at home had been very peaceful.
Liu Quan is busy at home and outside, sending her daughter to school in the morning and evening.
Yes, she was very worried about Xiaotong going to school alone. What if she met a child thief?
As for Mrs. Zhou, all her thoughts were devoted to her grandson, with no other distractions. When dawn broke, the old lady got up early, prepared fresh goat milk for Qi Xiao, and took good care of him.
During this period of time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law developed a common hobby, which was to kowtow and burn incense to the Lord Buddha.
Yes, the mainstay of the family has gone out to take the exam, and it seems that this is the only thing the family can do.
Generally speaking, life at home is very peaceful, with sunrise and sunset every day, plain and fulfilling.
Although nothing big happened, there were small worries.
No, Mr. Peng from the private school said that Xiaotong skipped class yesterday and did not study. I heard that she stole someone else's walnuts.
Steal something?
Liu Quan gritted her teeth and was so angry that when she got home, she closed the door and had a harsh relationship with her husband and goddaughter.
"Kneel down!"
"Mother..."
"Kneel down!"
Seeing her mother's stern look, Xiaotong knelt on the ground timidly, not daring to raise her head.
"Mom has read very little, but she also knows the truth about what to do and what not to do. Especially as a woman, you must understand moral conduct and etiquette. Your father is a scholar, and he cannot carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands.
Only through diligent study did he get to where he is today. He is running around taking exams. Do you know how hard it is?"
"Let's talk about your study. He spent twice as much effort as others to find a good husband for you. What's the purpose? Isn't he just hoping that you will become a talented person? Alas... I didn't expect you to be so disappointing.
Don’t learn well!” After saying this, Liu Quan burst into tears.
Seeing her mother sad, Xiaotong felt even more guilty and cried: "Mom, I will never steal again, never again..."
Seeing that she acknowledged her mistake, Liu Quan softened her tone and said, "If you want to eat walnuts, my mother can buy them for you, so why would you steal them?"
Xiaotong said: "I'm not greedy for walnuts at all. I stole them because I wanted to give them to my father."
"Huh? Since when did your father like to eat walnuts?" Liu Quan was startled and asked curiously.
Xiaotong raised her head and said while crying: "Mr. Peng said that eating chicken heads cannot replenish the brain, so it is better to eat more walnuts... So I wrote it down."
So that’s it!
Unexpectedly, her daughter's move was actually out of filial piety. After hearing this, Liu Quan immediately softened her heart and said softly: "Get up..."
"Um……"
Xiaotong's legs were a little numb because she had been kneeling for too long. When she stood up, she subconsciously supported the ground with her hands, but did not dare to exert force, which seemed a little scrupulous.
Liu Quan's sharp eyes noticed it at a glance, and when he looked closer, he saw that the palms of her little hands were red, swollen and bruised.
This is...an injury!
Who did it?
Liu Quan looked distressed, hugged her, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with this hand? Tell me quickly!"
Xiaotong gritted her teeth but did not complain of pain. After struggling for a while, she said: "Well... Mr. Peng beat me with a ruler. He hoped that I would take a warning and not steal again..."
How can someone else spank your own child?
Liu Quan became angry when he heard this and said, "Who is this sir? He is too cruel, isn't he? No, no, I have to go over and argue with him tomorrow."
Xiaotong immediately broke down in tears and laughed. With her mother supporting her, her husband would definitely give him thin noodles.
Hee hee, no more beatings!
…
The husband and goddaughter were silent in the room. Mrs. Zhou didn't pay attention or hear.
At this time, she was squeezing the goat's milk with a smile on her face and kept mumbling. Her eldest grandson's urine was half a foot away. It seemed that the baby's body was getting stronger and stronger.
Qi Xiao was born prematurely and had insufficient natural endowments. Now after receiving nourishment, he is finally as strong as an ordinary child.
Boom boom boom...
Suddenly there was a burst of excitement in the street, the roar of gongs and drums, and the buzz of onlookers.
Could it be...that something happy happened to someone's family?
who cares!
Mrs. Zhou glanced outside indifferently, "What's so interesting about the excitement? How could it be more important than her own grandson?"
dont see!
…
You don’t look at it, but someone wants you to look at it.
No, as soon as Zhou turned around, the door was knocked.
"Who is it?"
"Open the door! Open the door!"
With a creak, the door opened.
Zhou was stunned when she saw two government officials standing outside the door. One of them was playing a drum, the other was beating a gong, and they had a big red cloth tied around their waists.
What kind of battle is this?
"I asked, what are you doing? Did you go to the wrong door?" Before anyone could say anything, Mrs. Zhou showed off her guests.
The first officer looked up at the door number and said with a smile: "My aunt is joking, how could I go to the wrong door?"
The aunt's house has the meaning of her mother's family, which seems close to her.
What's the point of talking nonsense?
Mrs. Zhou was a little impatient and said: "Hurry up, what's the matter? I'm still waiting to feed my grandson!"
The yamen official looked embarrassed, but he still cleared his throat, and then sang loudly: "The good news is that I am proud of the sixth place in the high school provincial examination!"
Yakui?
What is this?
Have not heard!
Zhou shook her head blankly and said, "Can you talk properly? And you're singing like this?"
Well……
The officer blushed in embarrassment and had no choice but to bow and explain: "Auntie, your son Qi Yu has graduated from high school and has been elected!"
Oh...I understand this time.
What? Ah Hao got passed the exam?
"Oh, tsk, tsk, it's so good, so good!" Ms. Zhou clapped her hands, with an expression that was just as I expected, and then said: "I'm just saying, after eating so many first-class champion chickens, it would be weird if I didn't win.
Woolen cloth!"
Can you win the lottery by eating chicken?
All the onlookers, including the government officials, were shocked by these words.
Mrs. Zhou waved her hands and said, "Okay, I know about this, you can go back!"
Um?
The two cadres shrugged when they heard this, looking stunned.
Is this it? No sign at all?
The atmosphere became awkward.
At this time, Liu Quan led Xiaotong out and took a look at the battle, and he suddenly understood.
Well, my husband must have been lucky!
I think this is because Fucheng got the news in advance, and the official came over to announce the good news first!
My husband, you are so awesome!
At this moment, Liu Quan felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. Yes, her husband had become famous. What could be more joyful than this?
After thinking about the bright future for a while, Liu Quan hurriedly took out some reward money and gave it to the two officials.
"Take it."
"Thank you madam for the reward!"
"..."
lady?
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment...
That's right, if my husband is elected as a master, wouldn't he be called his wife?
At first, Ms. Zhou thought her daughter-in-law gave her too much money, but when she heard the word "Madam," she really came to her senses!
Yes, the Qi family is now a distinguished family!
Overjoyed, she quickly took out a handful of small coins from her arms and threw them out to the crowd outside the door.
"Everyone is so happy that our Ah Man has become the master of the nation..."
"Thank you, aunt, for the reward. Well, please give me more."
"Auntie? That's a good call! Then I'll spread it some more!"
…
Suddenly, Mrs. Zhou was startled: Damn it, I am so happy just patronizing this place, but my grandson is still hungry!
