Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 157 Unfortunately

  After returning home, Zhu Ping'an mentioned his grandfather's idea, but his mother, Mrs. Chen, was the first to agree, and she agreed very much. Mother agrees, but Zhu's father naturally has no objection.

Eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan also supported it with both hands. Since the news of his younger brother's admission to the scholar reached Juan'er's house, the future father-in-law looked at him many times more pleasing to his eyes. After being admitted as a scholar, I stayed with Juan'er, and my father-in-law turned a blind eye.

  The dinner was extraordinarily sumptuous, and my mother, Mrs. Chen, was afraid that Zhu Ping'an would be hungry, so she put all the delicious food into Zhu Ping's bowl. As long as I eat a little slower, my mother Chen will ask, why doesn't my son eat it, is it because my mother's cooking is not delicious. His mother, Mrs. Chen, was like this, so Zhu Ping'an could only shake off his cheeks and eat it all. Chen Shi, the mother who had eaten, narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

   The consequence of this is that Zhu Pingan can only lie on his back when he sleeps at night, and other postures cannot hold the full belly of maternal love.

At night, Zhu Pingan was lying on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window. The moonlight was as dim as a fairy wearing a blue wedding dress. The gentle evening wind brought in the unique earth fragrance of the village. The toad croaked, and occasionally there were a few dog barks. Watching, smelling, listening, slowly, Zhu Pingan dozed off unconsciously lying on the bed, and fell into a sweet dreamland.

   Mornings in the country are different.

The big roosters at the head of each family crowed and flew up the low wall, standing on the wall and competing to announce the dawn. One by one, not to be outdone, compared their voices, and slowly the village woke up from sleep. Get up one after another and start your day.

  The main room of the Zhu family opened the door, and his mother, Mrs. Chen, came out of the room with a washbasin. As soon as she opened the door, Mrs. Chen saw Zhu Pingan sitting by the well in the courtyard practicing calligraphy.

   "Why are you admitted to the scholar. Why do you get up so early. I just went home and didn't have a good rest." Mother Chen looked at Zhu Pingan who was dipping in the well water near the stone and practicing calligraphy. I still don't know when my second son got up, so I can't help feeling distressed.

   "I'm used to mother." Zhu Pingan raised his head and said with a naive smile.

"Isn't it all a habit? Don't get up so early tomorrow." Chen's heart ached, she wanted her son to sleep a little longer, because other people's children can't scream no matter what, she This son is good, he never asked himself to wake up, and every time he got up earlier than himself.

   "Yes. Good mother." Zhu Pingan nodded in agreement.

   "Just fool your mother, you promise well every time, but every time you get up early." Chen blamed.

   "Second brother is hard work."

  Father Zhu got up too, and walked out of the room carrying Yexiang. Hearing Chen's reproach, he couldn't help curling his lips.

  It’s a good thing that my loving mother is so hard-working.

  Father Zhu thinks very simply, men should work harder and sweat more. It's useless to be spoiled.

   "No matter how hard you work, your body doesn't matter." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen glared at Father Zhu.

  Father Zhu was stared at by Mrs. Chen, so he didn't dare to say anything, but only expressed his support for Zhu Ping'an with his eyes.

   One after another, the entire Xiahe Village got up, and the smoke from the kitchen was rising. Going to the field, visiting and chatting, the day's life begins again.

   While Zhu Ping'an's family was eating breakfast. Grandfather came to the door, and came to discuss with Zhu's father about holding a water banquet. It was very positive, and the final time was set in three days. In Daming. Perhaps this is still the case in rural areas today. If you are admitted to a good university, the whole village will have a lively celebration. What's more, with his grandfather being so active and his mother, Mrs. Chen being so supportive, Zhu Ping'an was arranged by his elders.

  After breakfast, Zhu Pingan left the house with his schoolbag slung across his shoulders and headed for Shanghe Village. I am admitted to the scholar to thank my mentor for his teaching, so I should tell my mentor about the water banquet at home and invite my mentor to go. In addition, I have to thank the rich man Li's family in Shanghe Village. Thanks to the rich man Li's family's collection of books, I have sufficient knowledge reserves in the imperial examination, and the yellow flower question last time was also thanks to that black belly Young girl, even though she also unintentionally inserted Liu Liu Chengyin.

  Going to Shanghe Village, Zhu Ping'an first went to the teacher's house. The teacher's house is usually open at night, but today it closed the door, which is a bit strange. I pushed it, but it couldn't move, I looked down and saw a piece of paper, which must have been pasted on the door, but it fell to the ground due to the wind and sun. Zhu Pingan picked it up and wrote four words on it, going out to visit friends. This paper is most likely reserved for myself. It seems that the teacher's wife also went together, otherwise it would be impossible for there to be no one. I didn't expect the teacher to be quite romantic.

  Since the mentor is not here, let's go to Li's house and borrow another book to read.

  Li’s house is not far from the mentor’s house. It’s a high-rise compound. The yard seems to have just been painted, and it looks strange.

  Zhu Ping'an stepped up and knocked on the door between the two stone lions.

   dong dong dong

  After knocking twice, I heard Uncle Li's familiar impatient voice again.

   Soon, the door opened, and Uncle Li poked his head out of it impatiently.

"Oh, it turned out that Master Zhu is here, fast forward, no, no, when I open the door, how can Master Zhu come in?" Uncle Li, the concierge, will be so courteous as a dog's leg. What impatience, the face is full of enthusiasm.

   "Uncle Li, don't call me that, your life will be shortened, I'll just enter through the door." Zhu Pingan smiled wryly.

"How could it be? Mr. Zhu is a person who is blessed by the stars and has a long life. How can we go through the door? Mr. Zhu is a talented master, how can he go through the door." The uncle concierge shook his head, and then opened the door in a hurry , please come in Zhu Pingan.

  The concierge, Uncle Li, is really playing around with the wind, but Zhu Ping'an's enthusiasm makes Zhu Pingan a little dumbfounded.

   "Uncle Li, you should stop calling me Master Zhu." Zhu Ping'an entered the gate, turned his head to discuss with the concierge Uncle Li solemnly, "I sound weird, so I can call you what you usually call me.

   "It's good for Master Zhu to get used to it, and scholars are called masters." Uncle Li, the concierge, did not have the usual negligent attitude, not to mention how good it is.

  Uh, Zhu Ping'an was a little speechless. With the attitude of Uncle Li, the porter, I couldn't make him change his words in the short term.

   "Is Master Li at home? In the past, Master Li generously took care of me and allowed me to borrow books. Ping An is proud to have passed the hospital examination. Ping An is very grateful. Three days later, there will be a water banquet at home, and I hope to invite Master Li to show respect."

  Zhu Pingan paused for a moment, and then explained his purpose.

  The concierge, Uncle Li, shook his head slightly, "My master hasn't come back yet."

   Then forget it.

  Zhu Pingan thanked the concierge, Uncle Li, and walked to the study with ease, ready to borrow books.

   Thank you very much for your support, thank you for your monthly pass, the next chapter will be updated at about three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
