Adults and children squeezed into the kang, Li Fu returned to the village before dawn, thinking about the goods, Chen Wei asked Xunzi to get the report card: "There is still rice in the store, and the stew pot that I promised others can't do it." There is no one, and the opportunity to perform is left to you.”

Xunzi was a bit reluctant to put on his clothes while muttering: "Let's go together, we have to do our own things." Seeing that people want to get on their feet, they immediately changed their words: "Then you should be tired first, and I'll go find you when I'm done."

Chen Lao Er was probably terribly cold last night, and he slept soundly this time. After the children were divided into two groups, he was still snoring beautifully on the kang. The time back to school was short and the stove was not lit. Xunzi sat on the seat He stomped his legs straight up, half frozen and half a little nervous. He would have to be separated from Wei Zi if he failed the grade. He didn't want to do this. Looking at the report card, Xunzi trembled at the thin sheet of paper. The left side of the folded A4 was marked with the results of each subject, the teacher's comments on the upper right side, and the ranking on the lower side.Teacher Shen’s approach was different from that of the previous head teacher. He called by name to collect the report card. Xunzi didn’t dare to open it face-to-face after taking it from the two of them. Instead, he turned it upside down on a corner of the table and revealed it bit by bit. The movement was slow enough, and the teacher’s comments on the right After reading everything, Teacher Shen spoke: "I will announce the top three in the class, No.1 Chen Wei, and Zhang Xun who is tied..."

Hearing his name Xunzi was like a pinned puppet, Teacher Shen held back a smile and waved to him: "Zhang Xun, come to receive your and Chen Wei's prizes." Still hit.

It was still an iron pencil case, as if it was tailor-made for two poor students. Xunzi first observed Teacher Fan’s expression carefully before asking, “Am I positive or negative?”

Teacher Shen pointed to the prize held in his arms: "How can the countdown be counted down after all the prizes are taken?"

Xunzi proudly hugged the report card to his chest. If he wasn't afraid of being blown away by the wind, he would have wanted to put it on his head. It was too difficult. He and Weizi used to be behind the door. He patted the report card on the counter, Chen Wei picked it up, glanced at it, and handed it to his uncle. Li Fu had been thinking about it, and Xunzi's straight body softened: "Why don't you praise me?" ?”

"Isn't it normal for you to take the first place in the exam? Don't you dare to help me? I'm too busy." Chen Wei came to the store early in the morning. Before the curtain was opened, Li Fu came over with a pole, and he never had time to help. Selling rice sew bags and stewing pots are all set at a time to be taken away, and the pots in the store are not big so they can only be stewed in batches according to the time. He swallowed the words again, and when he returned home, the neighbor yelled from afar: "The eldest son of your elder brother's family, took several bags of your rice antis, and sold them for [-] cents a catty. The house is also taken up." He wanted to ask why it was so expensive, but seeing that Li Fuzai was embarrassed to ask, if the other party didn't dare to make such a fuss, wouldn't it be a provocation?Chen Wei also asked his second uncle about it. It is obviously abnormal to keep so much rice at home. He doesn't think that his second uncle deliberately let the store help sell it. He rented the store himself, and his second uncle hid far away.

Although Xunzi didn't win Chen Weikua, but he got Li Fu and the people who came to buy goods praised him, his little neck was raised high, and Li Fu was holding the report cards of the two dolls to laugh with Chen Laoer, There were enough people in the shop, Chen Wei left early, and opened up to his grandpa when he arrived at his house, but the old man just didn't nod, and he was so stubborn that he was speechless. He thought he could finish it with a few rolls, but this time Dazed for nothing, he finally spread his hands together: "Forget it, this business is over."

Li Fu was surprised: "Someone ordered four cups today. If you don't want to make a living with such money, then don't you want it?"

"I don't have time or energy, and I have to focus on studying. Even if I don't care, you want to exhaust my mother to death." Chen Wei didn't believe that they could be cruel.

They all know their children's temper, so maybe it's time to break it. Li Fu looked at his father, and Grandpa Li finally nodded: "Then let your uncle do it. There's nothing wrong with you. I'll talk to you later. Together, my parents will tell my eldest grandson a daughter-in-law."

Chen Wei clapped his hands proudly: "Then I will pass it on to my younger brother as the New Year's money."

The matter was decided in this way, the couple will be able to get home today, Li Fu sent Chen Wei to the carriage, Da Fengtian stood behind and looked far away, when Chen's father and Chen mother entered the house, Chen Wei was talking to his second uncle about selling rice As for the matter, Chen Wei asked about the stored rice at home, but Chen's second son hesitated and didn't say anything.

Chen Laoer announced the good news first: "Brother, our Xiaowei took the first place in the exam again."

"Really?" Dad Chen said with a happy smile on his face, "Bring it to Dad to have a look."

Xunzi jumped up and begged for praise: "Uncle, I also came first in the exam, aren't you arrogant?"

Father Chen pursed his lips: "You can take the first place in the exam, it seems that your study is not difficult?"

"Uncle," Xunzi rushed towards the person angrily, "Why are you so silent on me?"

"Hahaha, uncle is teasing you, don't get too close, the cold will rush to you."

Chen Wei glanced back and forth between Father Chen and Uncle Chen. The two of them were not very natural at the moment. Mother Chen said hello and went back to the east room to lie down—the sequelae of motion sickness, and the two children followed. Chen's mother is really uncomfortable because she has to pay for the kang, she can't go out for a long time all year round, and the car is closed in the cold, and when she goes there, she spends the whole afternoon lying on the ground. She squeezed her arms together: "It's too much trouble not to go out again in the future, and I can't worry about you little ones."

When Chen Wei went to the outhouse to fetch hot water for Chen's mother, he heard a few conversations between the two brothers. Chen's father asked, "What do you want to do?"

Uncle Chen replied: "I just don't want to spend time with her."

Chen Wei has understood the truth, it seems that this time the embarrassment is really thrown to his hometown.

Xunzi showed off at Chen's house for a while, then put on his shoes and ran home. After showing off at this house, he had to go back to his own house to be dignified. The old lady was still lighting the kang at home, Xunzi stood in front of his grandma , said triumphantly: "Grandma, we have to have a meeting when we come in." Cengba Cengba got on the kang, and felt that the kang was too ice to pull a pillow and sit directly on it, holding his arms, and twisting his waist towards Mr. Zhang: "Grandpa, dig out."

The old man was still resting on the kang when he got home, and he became curious when he saw his grandson's smiling face, rubbed his cold hands, and then took out the schoolbag leaning on his grandson: "What did you ask me to take out? God will tell me what to do." He took out a new pencil case first, and sighed: "Isn't the money I earned these days almost a disaster?"

Xunzi pursed her lips and shook her head: "Dig again."

"What is the whole scene?" The old man continued to dig out. The old lady sat on the edge of the kang and watched the interaction between the old and the young. She didn't understand what happened to her grandson. He was so mysterious. The old man took out the book in a while After a while, Xunzi took out a notebook, and Xunzi became impatient, so he emptied his schoolbag and stuffed the money for selling rice wrapped in old schoolbags to the old man: "Hahaha, take a look at the count, I will take the rice you saved. They are all sold, twenty cents a catty, you have to learn how to dare to kill like me, Wei Zi can be the master of his grandfather's family, and I will be the master of our family in the future."

The old man opened the paper bag, the thick money was deposited, and the old couple sighed secretly for the little rice savings. Unexpectedly, the grandson found out and returned it. They really grew up.

"Oh," the old lady held Xunzi's head and kissed her hard: "My eldest grandson is so helpless."

Xunzi stretched out the left half of her face to the old lady: "One more mouthful of milk will still be good."

The old lady kissed her cheek again, and Xunzi took out the report card. After handing it over, she covered her face with a pillow and felt a little embarrassed. The old lady didn't know many words, but the words 100 and 1 He could still read and understand. He put the report card on his lap and ran it over and over again. With red eyes, he said, "Your dad should study early. At that time, the family could not afford to pay 100 in the general exam. I didn't expect my grandson More than his dad."

The room was silent until a hoarse voice came from behind the pillow: "Grandpa, I will give you the first place in the exam." The whole family was happy that Xunzi did well in the exam. Grandma Zhang asked her grandson what he wanted to eat, and Xunzi was in a bad mood. Not high, he was infected by the longing for his grandparents, and he didn't want to waste the old man's kindness and forced a smile and said: "Sauerkraut stew."

Chen's father and Chen's second uncle were chattering endlessly in the west room, and Chen's mother in the east room was all overwhelmed. Chen Wei and Chen's brothers discussed: "Go down to the kang and find something to eat. I'll ask my grandma to come over and have a bite. God is so It's too cold to save them from doing it." The second uncle of Grandpa Chen's family knows about the rice sale, so he has to explain it, and besides, the rice accounts of the neighbor's house and Ershuan's house are not right today, and each family has nothing to say. , he was thinking that if he had the heart to help, he wouldn't do anything with the ink.

The second brother Chen did nothing when he got home, and after hearing what the neighbor said, he turned around and ran into the store. The old man was burning the kang of the old house, and the old lady was just about to enter the new house with a piece of wood, when Chen Wei stopped her and put the old house on fire. Throw the pieces of wood next to the pot, and light the dougai (in vernacular: the remaining poles after harvesting soybeans, the firewood commonly used to light the stove and kang) on ​​the bottom of the stove pit with a match. Put a few pieces of wood on top, and add more Putting in two coal shovels, he didn't care if the stove door was closed, so he dragged the old lady to the old house. He heard the humming and chirping of the second aunt, and his toothache, if it wasn't for helping him He didn't wait to go any further, and went out the door and called again: "Xiaoyang, go to my brother's house for dinner." Chen Yang was supposed to be fine, so he had to be reprimanded by him: "You said what are you doing in a circle when you go out? Let’s freeze and be honest now, right.”

Let grandpa and grandma go to their own house first, Chen Wei went to Zhang's to ask for the account book, entered the house, the old lady was busy, Xunzi fell asleep on the kang, the old man looked at his grandson with a smile on his face, and Chen Wei said Ya: "Master, Xunzi is too old to be coaxed to sleep."

The old man sat up and waved to Chen Wei: "Eat here tonight, your milk is stewed with meat."

"No, sir, I was thinking about asking you to come to my house to deal with it. I didn't expect your house to do it first. My grandma won't come to eat when my grandma passes by. I will get the account book and reconcile the accounts with the other two. Your family is right with Xunzi himself, he remembers it himself." Leaving the house with the account book in between, he was quite greedy when he smelled the sour smell of meat, and after walking two steps, he went back and opened the door and said to Grandma Zhang: " Grandma, or you can leave me a basin, and I will come over to eat tomorrow."

"It's not fresh to eat tomorrow, let Xunzi get up and deliver it to you later."

"Farewell, what are you doing tormenting him? Then I'll come over and get a pot later?"

"Chengcheng."

When he arrived at Ershuan's house, Chen Wei was not in a hurry to check the accounts. There was a large bowl of cabbage slices and potatoes on the vegetable table. It used to be the same at his house. Chinese cabbage and potatoes were common dishes on the table. Pick it up and whisper: "Go and play with my Xiaoqing in a while, my stew."

Er Shuan turned his head to look at his mother, and said quietly, "I won't let you go."

"It's okay, I won't eat the black rice, brother will take you away."

Shuanzi's family really didn't have anyone who could read and write. Chen Wei read the bookkeeping verbally, but Dashuan just nodded, and Xiaowa didn't have the nerve to scratch his fingers. Just a few words, Chen Wei gave the money to him. After getting Dashuan’s daughter-in-law, the bill will be settled today: "Uncle, is it enough for you to keep a sack for your family? Now the price of rice is still the same. If you don’t confuse me, put the rest in bags and go on tomorrow." Sell."

The money didn't reach Dashuan's hand, and it looked quite thick, so he thought for a while and said, "Why don't you keep it, and I'll buy cheap ones then?"

"Let's pull it down, this year will be like this, let's make preparations for the next year, it doesn't matter if you don't eat, we still have two bolts at home."

Dashuan's daughter-in-law stuffed the money under the pillow and climbed down the kang: "Auntie will cook potatoes for you and stay home for dinner."

"No, I still have guests at home, I'll come to eat again tomorrow." Standing up, I put on the cotton hat and put on the cotton shoes, "You guys eat, I'll take Shuan to change. "
