Farmer’s Blessed Girl

When Zhuang Dalang came back and saw Bai Shan and the others, he smiled and took money to Zhuang Ji'an, asking him to buy some fresh meat.

"Hurry up, today is the New Year's Eve, and the booth will close early."

Zhuang Ji'an took the money and ran out. Their house was not very far from the meat stall, so they came back not long after.

Zhuang Dalang and Bai Dalang are still familiar, but they don't talk much, they talk more about daily life.

But this time he paid special attention to the date of their departure in the next year. Apparently, Mr. Zhuang had told him that he would still go to Beijing with them after the year.

Zhuang Dalang emphatically asked Bai Shan and the other three to take care of Mr. Zhuang. He knew that the three of Bai Shan and Bai Dalang were different from Bai Dalang.

The three of Bai Shan agreed seriously, and then the two sides had nothing to say.

It happened that Zhuang Ji'an came back, and Zhuang Dalang smiled and got up to help in the kitchen. Mr. Zhuang suddenly raised his head and asked Zhuang Ji'an, "Jian, would you like to go to the capital with your grandfather?"

Zhuang Dalang stopped in his tracks, frowned and turned around, "Father, I will take Ji An by my side to practice after the new year. Master Zhang also said that Ji An can take my place in the future. The capital is too far away."

Mr. Zhuang ignored Zhuang Dalang and only looked at Zhuang Ji'an.

Zhuang Ji'an hesitated for a moment, and after glancing at his father, he still refused, "Grandfather, I want to stay at home."

Mr. Zhuang felt a little disappointed in his heart. After a long time, he sighed and nodded, "Okay."

With slightly shaking hands, he took a piece of snack from the paper bag and gave it to his grandson Zhuang Jiran who was sitting beside him.

Zhuang Jiran took it happily. Zhuang Dalang saw it, paused for a moment and said, "Ji Ran, go to the kitchen and light the fire for your mother."

Zhuang Jiran stuffed a piece of snack into his mouth, and ran away.

In an instant, there was only one little grandson left beside Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang reached out and touched his head, and smiled and handed him a piece of snack.

For some reason, Man Bao and Bai Shan Bai Erlang suddenly felt that Mr. Zhuang was sad, and even Bai Dalang felt that the atmosphere was not right. The four of them looked at each other, and immediately found a topic to divert Mr. Zhuang's attention.

Man Bao said: "Sir, my fourth brother wants to buy some tea in the county, do you know where there is tea?"

Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and said, "Luojiang County only has some loose tea, and there are no big tea mountains. If you want to buy tea, you have to go to Suizhou, right?"

Mr. Zhuang began to wonder if he knew any friends who were close to Suizhou. Thinking about it this way, there were really two.

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "After the third year of junior high school, let your fourth brother go to the city when he has time. I will introduce two friends to him."

Man Bao just asked casually, but she didn't expect it to be true. She was pleasantly surprised and immediately responded.

Zhuang Jisi, who was still young, looked up at Man Bao, then at his grandfather, and asked, "Grandfather, do you want to go out to eat delicious food?"

Mr. Zhuang laughed, nodded and asked, "Are you going?"

Zhuang Jisi immediately nodded, "I want to go."

"Then grandfather will take you there."

Man Bao thought he was cute, so he picked up a snack for him, but Mr. Zhuang stopped him and said with a smile: "We will have lunch soon, but we can't eat any more."

Zhuang Jisi watched eagerly.

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "Grandfather will keep it for you. You can eat two more yuan at night, and keep the rest to eat slowly."

Only then did Zhuang Jisi cheer up.

Children couldn't sit still, and so could Zhuang Jisi, not to mention that he still couldn't understand what his grandfather and his brothers and sisters said, so he moved his little buttocks and wanted to run outside after eating snacks.

Mr. Zhuang didn't bother him, patted his little head and said, "Let's go out and play."

Zhuang Jisi ran away.

After he left, Bai Shan asked: "Do you want to take Ji An to the capital, sir?"

Mr. Zhuang said with a slight smile, "His parents are reluctant to part with him, forget it."

He looked at Bai Dalang, and said with a smile: "At first, I thought maybe he would like to study in the county school, and then asked Dalang's classmates who are still in the county school to take care of him."

Bai Dalang was surprised when he heard the words, "Since Ji An can be admitted to the county school, why doesn't Senior Brother Zhuang want him to continue studying, but wants to take him with him instead?"

Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said, "He is not good at reading, so he won't pass the exam, but I know a few friends, and with some money, I can still attend the county school."

It's just that this kind of auditor who buys in may be excluded by the students in the county school, so he wants to entrust Bai Dalang to take care of it.

After all, he knew the gentleman, but the gentleman often didn't care about the affairs between the students.

Bai Erlang muttered in a low voice: "Sir, your knowledge is no worse than those gentlemen in the county school..."

Mr. Zhuang let out a long sigh and didn't speak for a long time.

He looked outside the door, from which he could just see the opposite kitchen, and after a long time he said softly: "Everyone has his own ambition, as long as the children and grandchildren are safe."

Even so, he was still a little disappointed.

Originally, he had already given up, and he never thought about letting the children of the family take the path of officialdom. After all, he had paid too much for it in the first half of his life, and Da Lang was unwilling.

But after walking to the capital again, he felt that he didn't seem to be that bad, so he thought about cultivating the younger generation again.

But Zhuang Dalang is unwilling, knowing a son is like a father, and similarly, knowing a father is like a son, he knows both his son and his father.

In his opinion, his father was smart enough and powerful enough, but once he was framed, he lived his life like that.

How miserable his life was when he was a child, and he didn't want his descendants to live like that again.

He is not as smart as his father, and neither is his son, and he knows that none of them can bear the hardship of studying.

Then it's better to be honest, in this Luojiang County, although they are not rich, they still have enough food and clothing, and they are safe and at ease. In his opinion, this is enough.

Mrs. Zhuang also doesn't want her child to go with her father-in-law. The child is so young, so she is no longer in front of her parents. What can I do?

Seeing her husband enter the kitchen with a sulky face, she glanced out and asked in a low voice: "Why, father-in-law brought up the matter of letting Ji An go to the capital again?"

Zhuang Dalang responded.

Mrs. Zhuang said: "I have agreed in advance that I don't agree to Ji An's going to the capital, he is still young."

Zhuang Dalang nodded, "Understood, I didn't agree."

Mrs. Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, looked out while chopping the meat, and said in a low voice, "I just saw it, and the gifts from the Zhou family this year are much more expensive, and the colors on the silk and satin are very beautiful. It's much better than what the Bai family gave you."

Zhuang Dalang said: "Then put it away, and later you can cut some to make new clothes for the girl and you."

Mrs. Zhuang replied happily, and said in a low voice, "We haven't seen each other for half a year, and Zhou Man's appearance is getting better and better. Our Ji An's age is also up, what do you think of her?"

Zhuang Dalang frowned, "It's not good, I'm not a senior."

Mrs. Zhuang didn't care, "What kind of seniority is this? Then Ji An was educated by his father-in-law when he was a child, isn't he a student of his father-in-law? If their family pays attention to this, then let Ji An also worship his father-in-law as a teacher. "

Zhuang Dalang didn't speak, scholars really don't care about this, father and son are brothers and sisters everywhere, but...

Zhuang Dalang frowned and said, "I'll talk to Dad in the afternoon."

He also thinks that Zhou Man is good, mainly because she is literate and polite.

See you tomorrow
