Chapter 84 Be a good father to the children
Mr. Wang glanced at Linger, "The child talks late and has a long eye."
"Anything else?"
"There is such a saying in the world's customs, but it may not be completely correct."
"It's better to have more eyes, so as not to be calculated by others in the future."
Qiao Mai peeled a crab for the old man, another crab for Yuan Jiaqi, and finally peeled one for the children.
The Yuan family couldn't stand it anymore, "You eat it too, they know how to do it, let them peel it by themselves."
"You are not at home, I always eat alone, you only eat once a month, eat it, don't worry about me."
The children said, "Mom, we peel it ourselves, and we will too."
For a meal, Qiao Mai took care of Mr. Wang and the children, but he didn't have much to eat.
Now that the old man was satisfied, he sat down and drank hot tea after the meal, and everyone started talking.
Qiao Mai thought of one thing, so he asked, "Sir, when does our Emperor Ming take the scientific research every year?"
"Every spring, everything recovers. The scientific examination is held on March 26. Tongsheng is the county examination, scholar is the government examination, and Juren and Jinshi are the Beijing examination. The higher the fame, the most prestigious examination room, the bachelor is in the side hall of the Palace of Political Affairs. .”
"March 26th, isn't it coming soon?"
"Yes, I plan to let Jiaqi take the children's test next year, laying a foundation for a year. Besides, he is very smart, can understand a little bit, can draw inferences from one example, can grasp the main points, and has a clear mind. He is a good seed."
"Where are the three of them?"
“Let’s talk about it in five years”
"Oh, that's fine too, let Xianggong take the exam first, and if he gets the honor, my land can be hung under his name."
Mr. Wang gave her a blank look, "Is that all you care about?"
"Otherwise? You don't know how poor the peasants are. Let's not talk about me doing business, rain or snow, but just talk about them. In a disaster year, the imperial court can take care of them? Regardless of whether the harvest is good or the production is reduced, they have to pay for it." Those taxes, when the court is fighting, have to increase the tax, and it’s hard to provide for a scholar, why can’t you not pay the tax?”
Mr. Wang was speechless because he knew the suffering of the people.
This, he can't quibble.
Finding an excuse, he went back to his room to rest.
The hut is not big, but it is very clean and warmly furnished. Mr. Wang really likes it from the bottom of his heart.
The Yuan family went back to the house and lay on the warm kang, feeling warm in their hearts. Mrs. Qiao has done a lot for them. In this life, as long as Mrs. Qiao doesn't let him go, he will be in Qiao's house peacefully. Good husband.
Be a good father to the children, and if you become an official in the future, you must protect them for the rest of your life.
In the evening, Qiao Mai cooked a pot of vegetable porridge, spread out more than 20 vegetarian pancakes, and prepared four cold dishes.
The big meal at noon is very tasty to eat at night. Mr. Wang ate a lot.
The family strolled around the house to digest food, the old man pursed his lips.
"Look at the place, it's so small that you can't walk even when you're digesting food."
"The outside is spacious, go for a walk outside."
"I'm not going."
"You can move to a new house in August, and then you will live in my house. If you can, bring your aunt and grandma together. It's just a change of place, and it will be fresh for a while."
Mr. Wang quickly waved his hands, "She can't, she will not be able to rest well for a long time after changing places, and she will still get sick, let her stay at home, last time you brought me those things, she didn't eat less , and it’s a good compliment.”
"Go back this time, I will give you another car."
"Hey, you girl is really good at trouble, if you are a man, you will be extraordinary."
Qiao Mai smiled and said nothing. Before going to bed at night, the children pestered her to tell a story before going back to sleep.
As the moonlight faded to the west, it was quiet outside. Qiao Mai looked at the sleeping Linger, and an idea moved her to the space.
Wearing black night clothes, she put it on calmly, covered her head and face, quietly opened the door and stepped out.
Regardless of whether the thief that night was instigated by Tian Yaozu, he repeatedly found trouble for himself, and this revenge must be avenged.
Regardless of whether he is a student or not, she will stop him from studying. If such a person becomes an official, he will definitely harm others in the future.
Although he is in the school in the town, he doesn't live in the town. He comes every morning and goes back at night, which has been like this for several years.
By moonlight, she ran in the fields and wheat fields. Although she had no internal strength, her running speed was not slow.
From Tianshui Town to Taohua Village, it takes half an hour by bullock cart, but it took her just over half an hour to get there.
Standing at the entrance of the village, looking at the familiar village, she took a long breath without making a sound.
When he came to Tian's house, he jumped vertically, grabbed the top of the wall, and then rolled over to enter the inside.
Tian’s family doesn’t have a dog, and the whole family sleeps soundly.
She came to Tian Yaozu's door, took out a pipe from the space, pierced the window paper, and blew in the smoke.
After waiting in front of the door for a while, he opened the door latch with a tool, and walked in with his hands and feet.
Looking at Tian Yaozu with only one head exposed under the quilt, when he was sleeping, he was just a child who didn't grow up.
This is the kind of person who is full of calculations all day long. If that's the case, then don't blame her for attacking him.
Let's see what the Laotian family will do to him after he is abolished? Will he still feel invincible? Will he count her again?
Thinking about it, she took out a handkerchief, poured ether on it, and covered his nose. After a while, this guy was completely anesthetized.
Flipping her hands, a shiny hammer appeared, and she took his two arms out of the bed without hesitation, and hit his wrists one by one.
With just these two strokes, both of his wrists were completely useless. Even if he was rescued by an expert and he recovered, he would not be able to hold a brush and write.
After finishing all this, she checked it, put the crime tools into the space, wiped off the footprints on the ground, stepped back, and locked the door for him.
In the courtyard, all traces on the wall were checked, and after making sure that there were no clues left, they returned home before dawn.
Take off the black clothes and throw into the space, move Linger out of the space, and lie down next to her.
The roosters outside were all crowing, she closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
The Yuan family woke up before dawn, got up early, began to clean the yard, added some firewood to the kang stove, and began to get busy in the kitchen, knowing nothing about Qiao Mai's going out last night.
In the early morning, he steamed a big bowl of custard for each person with eggs and warmed it on the fire. He slipped on the buns over a low fire and went to the warehouse to have a look.
Learning from Qiao Mai, there are a few small dishes.
The children woke up at dawn, first brushed their teeth and washed their faces, then ran and punched, and nothing was left behind.
Mr. Wang looked at the family through the window and nodded.
The living habits are really good, and the children are taught really well. He likes this family very much, and the granddaughter is really good for him.
In just over a month, he regarded these children as his family members and Yuan Jiaqi as his disciples.
Although he didn’t say any words of intimacy, he taught very seriously and was very strict. He is the kind of knife-mouthed bean curd, as long as his eyes are closed, he will treat others well.
At this time, Taohua Village, Tianjia.
Some were cleaning, some were cooking. Tian Li knew that his eldest grandson was reviewing the book last night, so he specifically told no one to speak loudly today.
Tian Yaozu is going to the examination room this year, and his family is looking forward to it, even the teachers in the school say he is a good seedling.
Everyone thought he would pass the exam, but not long after he got up, a scream came from Tian Yaozu's room.
Tian’s family panicked, and hurriedly pushed the door open to get in, but there was a door inside, and it took them a long time to remove the door before they could get in.
Tian Yaozu's two hands were clasped on the quilt, and he himself screamed like killing a pig.
"Grandson, son, what's the matter?"
"It hurts, it hurts"
"Where does it hurt?"
"I can't move my wrist."
"Get up quickly, mother will dress you, let's go to the hospital."
Everyone rushed to help him up, and when the clothes touched his hands, he kept screaming.
