MTL - Rise From the Humble-Chapter 4 Ping An Egg
Chapter 4 Ping An Egg
Closer to home, when the meal was almost finished, there was still one piece of scrambled egg left. Grandma habitually put the egg in Zhu Pingjun's bowl, but the egg was loose and half was caught on the chopsticks, and half fell on the table. The grandmother gave Zhu Pingjun half of the chopsticks, and the other half that fell on the table. When she was about to marry Zhu Pingjun, she saw that Zhu Pingjun seemed to dislike the eggs on the table. Maybe she was thinking of the scene before the meal. Well, it might be balance, so grandma put the small piece of egg that fell on the table into Zhu Pingan's bowl.
What a little flattering!
This is the first time grandma has picked up food for herself, even though it was dropped on the table.
"Thank you, grandma." Zhu Ping'an smiled at the old lady Zhu.
Her grandson is so sensible, which touched the eccentric grandmother a little bit, and of course it only passed away in a flash, because in her heart, her eldest son and younger son's family members are the heart and soul. Caring, the remaining two sons are married and forget their mothers, especially the second daughter-in-law is the most worry-free, the instigating second child almost forgets his mother.
This piece of egg, Zhu Pingan is not going to eat it by himself, not because this piece of egg fell on the table. You must know that since you have come to the farmhouse in this life, if you want to pay attention to hygiene like the previous life, you must wait until you are starved to death. The conditions are there. , Besides, the countryside is purely natural and pollution-free, just wash it with water if it falls on the ground.
The main reason is that the little girl next to her, Zhu Pingyu, **** her finger. This life is a patriarchal era. Although I am not favored by my grandparents, as a man, my grandmother cares more than Xiao Yuer.
Moreover, just before the meal, my mother quietly gave me an egg.
"Give it to my sister." Zhu Pingan put the egg into Xiao Yuer's small bowl with chopsticks in his little hands, and said in a warm voice.
This move by Zhu Pingan attracted the attention of everyone at the dinner table. Everyone was very curious. You must know that scrambled eggs are unusual in the farmhouse. They are usually sold for money, especially in Zhu’s family. Scrambled eggs are even rare dishes. , and even if there are, most of them are from the old lady Zhu to uncles and uncles, Zhu Ping'an and the others basically can't eat it, so now it is rare to have a piece of egg, Zhu Ping'an actually gave it to Xiao Yuer, which is much more difficult than Kong Rong's pear Well, pears were a common thing in Kong Rong's wealthy family at that time, unlike Zhu's family at this time, who didn't see a plate of scrambled eggs once in a month, and couldn't eat them after seeing them.
Zhu Ping'an's ability to give up the egg in his mouth to Xiao Yu'er, which immediately refreshed everyone's three views! This kid Zhu Ping'an is really sensible!
Xiao Yuer stared at the scrambled eggs with wide eyes, drooling.
But at this time, the third aunt Zhang put the eggs back into Zhu Ping'an's bowl, "Come on, Yu'er, thank you brother Xi'er, you are so good, but you should keep the eggs for yourself. The eggs are given to you by your grandmother." The pig, the pig eats it quickly and grows taller and grows up to be filial to grandma."
Although Xiao Yu'er was greedy for scrambled eggs, she still drooled and thanked Zhu Ping'an in a clever and sensible way, "Thank you, brother Yu'er, Yu'er, Yu'er doesn't eat scrambled eggs."
Xiao Zang said that he would not eat or eat, but his eyes were hooked on the scrambled eggs, and the saliva came out of his small mouth.
Little Lolita is so cute, a certain kid thought to himself, but forgot that he was also short-legged.
Zhu Ping'an picked up the egg again, raised his small arms and put it into Xiao Yu'er's mouth. He looked like a brother, and said, "I love watching my sister eat scrambled eggs."
Eggs are soft and greasy in the mouth. How can a child have the perseverance not to eat them? Besides, they have already been eaten, so they can be taken out for others to eat.
Just eating a small piece of scrambled eggs like a fingernail, Xiao Yuer showed a very happy expression, and she stuck out her tongue and licked her lips cutely, like a kitten drinking water.
"Is it delicious, sister Yu'er." Zhu Ping'an asked Xiao Yu'er with his mouth puffed up while eating the multigrain noodle cake in his hand.
"It's delicious, thank you, brother Xi'er." Xiao Yu'er bent her eyebrows and replied in a childish voice.
The scrambled eggs had already been eaten, and the third aunt had no choice but to accept it. The tiger-headed Zhu Pingan was more and more sensible and cute, especially compared with his elder brother, Zhu Pingjun, who could only eat alone and play with his temper.
The third aunt touched Zhu Ping'an's head enviously, turned her head and smiled and joked with Chen, "Second sister-in-law, I really envy you for having two good sons. I love my younger sister very much. You teach well and grow up. He must be a filial and good boy."
There is no mother who doesn't like others to praise her son, especially Mrs. Chen still has a little problem of showing off. Naturally, she is even more happy. She waved her hands repeatedly to say where and where, but the pride on her face couldn't be concealed. Joke endlessly.
cough cough
The eldest aunt on the other side was not happy. In her heart, his son was the best, but he was going to study and enter the exam to be a scholar. The hexagram master in the town had read that her son was a Wenqu star descending to earth.
Thinking of this, the eldest aunt Wu rubbed her husband with her leg, motioning for him to ask Mr. Zhu about letting Zhu Pingjun enter school.
The uncle lowered his head to eat and ignored his wife's signal, thinking that his wife was short-sighted. After the siblings made such a fuss today, it was obviously not a good time to talk about it. Moreover, he spent a lot of money on studying and taking exams. The younger brothers have already expressed their opinions. If the son If you want to go to school, it's not easy to say. You should discuss it with your parents when the younger brothers are away. After the established facts are established, it will be useless for the younger brothers' family members to have opinions.
The eldest aunt is a peasant woman, but she doesn't have the city of the uncle. Seeing that her husband didn't speak up and she still thought of her son as the number one scholar, she couldn't hold back and said, "Father and mother, look at Jun'er is seven years old. I'm getting older, so it's not a problem to keep shaking like this. I thought, the private school of Mr. Sun's scholar in Shanghe Village, our neighboring village, opened Mengxueli. Why don't we let our Jun'er go to Mengxue too, and it will be good for us in the future. The old Zhu's family raised their lintels."
Such words made Zhu Ping'an open his ears, to study, which is what he especially needs. On the one hand, you can learn the imperial examinations of the Four Books and Five Classics. On the other hand, it is also a kind of cover-up, covering up your experience and ideas that are hundreds of years ahead. After all, there is Yan Ruyu in the book. In this era, everyone highly respects scholars. The understanding and insights beyond ordinary people can be pushed to further studies.
Everything is inferior, only reading is high, which is an unbreakable truth in this age. Even a rich man with a lot of money would not dare to retaliate if he was pointed at the nose by a shy scholar in this era, and studying in this era is the most important and most effective way for children from poor families to advance.
So, Zhu Ping'an also raised his fat paw, "I want to learn too."
"You are so young, what are you learning? Besides, not everyone can enter school. You have to be a Wenqu star in the sky. Our Jun'er has been approved by the master, and it is Wenqu star who came down to earth." Auntie She was the first to speak out against Zhu Ping'an's admission to school. She also knew that the family's money was not enough for the two of them to be educated.
The aunt's words belittled Zhu Pingan and promoted Zhu Pingjun inside and out, which made Mrs. Chen very unhappy, but Mrs. Chen was more concerned about her uncle's family. The uncle was a scholar. It depends on the uncle, so Chen just frowned, thinking that even if he didn't speak, someone would. There is no need to offend the uncle's family.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Chen didn't speak, some people couldn't help it, and the fourth aunt immediately objected.
"Sister-in-law, our family is almost out of control, but we don't have any money left to support a scholar, right? In my opinion, we should wait for our family to save some money before letting Jun'er go to school." The fourth aunt said What he said was quite standard, and he also knew that Mrs. Zhu was recruited to be an ally, and she expressed her opposition to the Enrollment, but she did not firmly oppose it. There was still room for it. Now because the family can't get rid of the pot, Jun'er is not allowed to learn, and Jun'er is allowed to learn when the family has more money. As for when the family will have money, it is hard to say. Anyway, since the fourth aunt entered the Zhu family, the Zhu family has always There is no money left to be extravagant.
