Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Bai Shan and the others stayed for lunch and drank a cup of tea with their husband before taking their leave.

Today is New Year's Eve, dinner must be served early, even if there is no need for them to be busy at home, it is not easy for them to come back late, so Mr. Zhuang did not keep them, he sent people to the door to watch them leave, and then turned around.

In a few days, the grandchildren got acquainted with Mr. Zhuang again, and there was nothing to do during the New Year's Eve, so they nestled together in the study to accompany their grandfather.

In fact, Mr. Zhuang didn't bother them even if he was playing by himself. He took a book and sat on a chair to fall asleep.

Zhuang Dalang came in, found an excuse to pay the three children out, and then lifted the teapot from the stove to make tea for his father.

Mr. Zhuang squinted for a while and was awakened by the scent of tea. He raised his head and glanced at his son. After he sat down, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhuang Dalang hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth, "Father, Ji An is old enough to say kiss."

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "It's not too young, it's time to prepare."

Zhuang Dalang opened his mouth, and it was easy to say the next thing. He sat down at the bottom, looked at his father and said, "What do you think of Zhou Man?"

Mr. Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Man Bao is naturally excellent, but they are not suitable."

Zhuang Dalang frowned slightly, Mr. Zhuang said: "Her marriage has already been settled, it should not be long before it will be settled."

Zhuang Dalang was a little disappointed when he heard the words, but he still asked with a smile: "Who is so blessed?"

Mr. Zhuang said: "It's her junior brother Bai Shan."

Zhuang Dalang was slightly surprised, the family backgrounds of the two families were quite different, how could the Bai family be willing?

He looked at his father, "Is it father's matchmaker?"

Mr. Zhuang said with a slight smile: "If the two families are interested, I can be the matchmaker. This will become a good story."

Zhuang Dalang understood that this was the intention of the two families and they discussed it by themselves.

Mr. Zhuang took a sip from his teacup, lowered his eyes and said, "I've read it. Although Ji An's studies are average, it's not bad to study for a few more years and take the mathematics test."

After finishing the math department, you can go directly to the county government office to do errands. If you do well, you can be promoted to the master book, which is much better than being an accountant.

The Zhang family where Zhuang Dalang is now is the master Zhang's family.

Zhuang Dalang said: "Luojiang County has been headed by the Zhang family for twenty years. Dad, there is no one behind our family. The benefits of Ji An's entry into the officialdom will not fall on him, but the disadvantages may all fall on him."

That's not the way to say it. People always have some ambitions. How can they hesitate because of something that hasn't happened?

But Mr. Zhuang opened his mouth, but he still didn't say the truth. When Zhuang Ji'an was just born, before he picked up Master Bai to start a school in Qili Village, the father and son had a lot of quarrels because of this.

He mentioned this truth a lot when he was young, but Zhuang Dalang obviously has his own understanding.

Just as Zhuang Dalang couldn't understand him, he also couldn't understand his son's thoughts for a while.

But then the old wife told him that everyone is different, he can't force his son to be like him, if he can't be persuaded, then he has to learn to let him go.

Days are lived by themselves.

Mr. Zhuang knows that he has experienced a lot since he was a child, and stability is his greatest pursuit.

When Mr. Zhuang's place was taken by Chen Fulin, Zhuang Dalang was still too young, only more than three years old. Even if he remembered things early, he didn't remember much. He only knew that he was very happy every day. His mother liked to lead him out of the alley. , When I came back, I met a candied haws seller in the alley and bought him a bunch.

That should be the most stable period of time in his memory.

In the new year, Mr. Zhuang was expelled from the government school. The children who used to play with him in the alley didn't like to play with him anymore, and even stretched out their hands to push him and beat him.

However, such days were very short. They returned to their hometown soon, but they did not have a stable life for a long time. Mr. Zhuang was very confident in himself, so he sold the remaining land of the family and took his wife and children to Beijing to take the exam.

That time, they went with the idea of ​​staying in the capital.

Mr. Zhuang told his wife at the time that even if he really failed the exam, he would find a job in the capital and stay.

At that time, the whole family was very confident, including Zhuang Dalang, who was a little more sensible, and he was also very happy, thinking that his father would definitely be able to do it.

As a result, they left the capital in a more embarrassing posture.

Mr. Zhuang didn't take them back to his hometown. Chen Fulin's foundation was too close to Mianzhou, and they would be voluntarily falling into the urn if they went back.

But their family's savings were almost spent in the capital. Mr. Zhuang was hit one after another, and fell ill on the way out of grief and anger.

Not to mention Zhuang Dalang, even Mr. Zhuang will never forget that difficult time in his life. He always felt that the reason why his wife died of illness early had a lot to do with that period of time.

Obviously, Zhuang Dalang thought so too.

At that time, Zhuang Dalang was just over five years old. Mr. Zhuang fell ill, and the family of three couldn't even rent a house, so they had to temporarily settle down in a ruined temple.

Zhuang's mother went out to pick up the laundry every day, and the money she earned was not only to feed the family of three, but also to buy medicine for Mr. Zhuang.

After the family survived the most difficult period, Mr. Zhuang was so thin that his clothes could hardly hang, and then he went to work as an accountant.

Life gradually got better, and after two years of stability, Mr. Zhuang thought about making a comeback, so he quit his job as a cashier.

He was already like that at the time, and it was very difficult for him to continue to take the exams or to be an official. He could only serve as an aide to an official. In the future, he might be recommended by someone to be an official.

It is impossible to say that Mr. Zhuang has no resentment in his heart for being wronged for nothing.

But it’s okay for him not to be an official, but once he got into an official job, his luck seemed to be very bad. He worked as an assistant to two officials, and at the last one, he even helped him from Sima to the position of governor , As a result, there was a disagreement in the halfway, and he was expelled again.

The life of the dealer is sad again.

In Zhuang Dalang's memory, from the time he remembered to the age of fourteen, his life was not stable. Even when his father was a staff member, which seemed to be valued, he was always excluded in private. .

Especially after his father's past was publicized by someone.

In the school, the eldest son of Mr. Du, whom his father was loyal to, had been looking at him with a disdainful attitude. He didn't betray anyone at all, and said to his classmates directly in front of him, "His father was expelled from the school because of his misconduct. I heard that when I was in the capital, I even copied the poems of my classmates, if someone hadn’t recommended them, my father would never have hired such a person, but it’s just doing odd jobs and giving them a bowl of food.”

Zhuang Dalang didn't tell his parents about these things, but within half a month, he had a conflict with the other party in the school, and Mr. Zhuang still knew about it.

After he resigned, he took his wife and children and left again. After that time, Mr. Zhuang no longer thought about being a staff member, but returned to his hometown with his wife and children, and began to take on some work as an accountant and husband.

Looking back on his entire childhood and adolescence, Zhuang Dalang felt that apart from the inconspicuous time in his childhood, only the two years when his father was the accountant lived the most stable and happy life.

So after returning to his hometown, he rejected his father's suggestion to take the exam and insisted on working as a bookkeeper.

He felt that if there is no foundation, then don't touch the officialdom.

A little rich is safe, and life can be done like this.

Originally, the extra episode should be written after the ending, but everyone seems to have a lot of controversy over Zhuang Dalang, so I released it in advance

Next update around 6pm

Although I know that everyone may be uncomfortable at this time, and I am also uncomfortable, I still ask for some monthly tickets for my poor Mr. Zhuang.
