Mingjun and Mingjia had lunch and rested for a while before bringing things to visit their neighbors. Mingjun took his sister directly to the home of his childhood playmate Huzi. He was still thinking about Huzi.

The tiger girl was weeding the vegetables in the vegetable garden when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. When she looked up, she saw two elegantly dressed young men. Hu Zi Niang immediately realized that it was the Xiao family brother and sister coming over.

Huzi Niang quickly stood up and called Mingjun and Mingjia to come in and sit down. She walked around the house but found nothing good to entertain them. Mingjun and Mingjia quickly told Hu Ziniang not to be polite, and they could just drink a bowl of water.

Mingjun waited for Hu Zi Niang to sit down and asked Hu Zi what he was doing now. Hu Zi Niang was a little reserved at first, but when she mentioned her son, she instantly relaxed a lot. "Huzi's father found some connections and sent Huzi to a blacksmith shop in the county to be an apprentice!"

Hu Zi Niang's tone was full of pride. Her son was now very popular with his master and had taught Hu Zi a lot of real skills. Huzi came back and said that in a few years, he would be able to successfully start his apprenticeship, and by then Huzi would be able to open his own blacksmith shop.

Mingjun kept smiling while listening to Huzi's mother talk about Huzi. Although Mingjun didn't see Huzi, he felt that Huzi's life should be good after hearing this. Mingjia sat next to her brother very quietly, observing his expression.

Mingjia knows that his brother has different feelings for his playmates in Tianjiacun, but after returning this time, his mentality will probably change again.

Many things will be different when you grow up. Mingjia hopes that her brother can face it calmly.

Hu Ziniang talked a lot in succession, and then suddenly realized that she seemed to have talked too much, and she became more reserved for a while. Mingjun suddenly comforted him, "I have always missed Huzi in Qu County. I am very happy to hear my aunt say that Huzi is doing so well now."

Mingjun and Mingjia brought many gifts to Huzi's family, and Huzi's mother was also the first to deliver food to Xiao's family. When Hu Zi Niang saw what Aman and Mrs. Yan put down, she quickly stood up to stop it. It was too expensive and his family couldn't afford to be polite.

Mingjun knew Hu Zi Niang's worries, so he simply made a small request: "I have eaten a lot of fried noodle flags made by my aunt when I was a child. When can my aunt have time to fry some more for me?"

As soon as Hu Zi Niang heard Ming Jun's words, she immediately agreed. Huzi Niang sent Mingjun and Mingjia outside the gate before reluctantly going home.

On the way home, Ming Jia looked at her brother and asked, "Brother, do you have any regrets about not seeing Brother Hu Zi?" Ming Jun shook his head and said, "I know that I will no longer be the same as before, so It’s not bad not to see him.”

Mingjia wanted to say something to comfort his brother, but Mingjun reached out and patted Mingjia's little head, "Don't think about it, let's seize the time to deal with these things this afternoon, and go to the village chief's uncle's house for dinner together in the evening. .”

Ming Jun pulled Ming Jia to speed up the pace, and said as he walked: "Tomorrow morning, I will ask Granny Yan to wake you up early. Let's go up the mountain together to worship Uncle Li's wife!"

Mingjia thought for a while and said yes, she had basically recovered in the past two days. She can completely resume her previous routine. She has already planned to resume getting up early to practice martial arts. Mingjia has recently been very interested in playing marksmanship with Shi Shi.

When Mingjun and Mingjia went to the village chief's house for dinner, they saw the village chief's eldest son supporting the old village chief standing on the roadside waiting for them before they arrived.

When Mingjun saw it, he hurriedly ran over to hold the old village chief's other arm, "Why do you keep coming out and waiting? This will let my father know that it's my fault!"

"Hehe! He won't do it. You are a good boy. Go home and have dinner!" The old village chief was very happy to see Mingjun, and then ignored Mingjia. Pulling Mingjun, he turned around and walked home. Mingjun looked at his sister from the background and motioned for her to follow.

Mingjia... to be honest, she almost wanted to turn around and go home now.

The village chief's family has a large population, so they always eat at separate tables. There is a table for the men in the family, and a table for the women and children. The only exception is the village chief's eldest grandson, who is young but always eats with the village chief.

Mingjun was arranged to sit next to the village chief. Mingjun subconsciously looked for his sister Mingjia. When he turned around, he saw his sister being pulled by the village chief's wife to sit on the table next to her.

Mingjun stood up and wanted to go find his sister, but was stopped by the village chief. "Mingjun, sit here!"

Mingjia looked back at her brother and shook her head slightly. These were small things and there was no need to worry about them. After this meal, they showed respect to each other, and from now on, the Xiao family closed their doors and lived their own lives.

Mingjun frowned and didn't like this arrangement, but this was at the village chief's house after all. Mingjun glanced at the table over there and found that the dishes were not much different from the ones he had here. He was silent for a while before turning around and sitting down. Went back.

During the whole banquet, the old village chief and the village chief were inquiring about Xiao Qingshan’s current official position. They were still instilling in Mingjun the importance of fellow villagers. They just asked Mingjun directly to take a few more juniors from the village with him when he left. .

"Mingjun! You have to have peace of mind when you are away from home. We have all gone through hardships together, and we know the root cause!" the old village chief kept saying to Mingjun over and over again.

Mingjun only took a few bites of the food and then put down his chopsticks. "Old village chief, my father is going to Dianzhou next time. I heard that there are many poisonous insects and poisonous miasma there. My father's master is unwilling to go with him. He is worried that there will be no one!"

The old village chief said half of what he said, but he didn't directly state the request because he was young and didn't want to fall behind in front of the younger generation. Mingjun also kept half of what he said. If you dare to open your mouth, I will ask for someone.

Mingjia turned her back to her brother's table and listened silently to the mediation between her brother and the old village chief. "Haha, my brother can't have fun in the capital, can he still have fun when he returns to Tianjiacun?"

Mingjia was so happy with the meal that even the eldest daughter of the village chief asked Mingjia why she was wearing men's clothing. Mingjia rarely replied in a pleasant manner: "It's convenient for practicing martial arts!"

The conversation between Mingjun and the old village chief came to nothing in the end, but the chat with the village chief's uncle was still very effective because Mingjun informed him directly.

"Uncle the village chief, I visited all the neighbors that I should leave today, and I will study behind closed doors from tomorrow on. Mingjun doesn't want anyone to disturb me, and I hope the uncle of the village chief can help me tell the neighbors in the village."

Mingjun didn't want to have people come to his door to give gifts from time to time when he was studying at home, in order to send someone from his family to his father as an errand.

When the village chief heard that Mingjun wanted to study behind closed doors, he naturally supported it strongly. Although Xiao Qingshan has no relatives in the village, he came from Tianjia Village after all. As the village chief, it is much more convenient for him to go to the county to do things than other village chiefs.

The village chief fantasized that there would be another official in the village who passed the imperial examination, and then Tianjia Village would have a lot of conveniences.
