Su Chong, Su Hua and Zhou Heng all stood up and thanked them in unison.
Su Sanlang smiled gently, nodded and handed out fortune packages to everyone.
Now that his family is wealthy, Su Sanlang puts two taels of silver in every red envelope.
The heavy money bags made everyone smile.
New Year's Eve dinner is as always.
Su Chong is already eighteen years old, and Su Hua is seventeen years old. Because their family is wealthy, some people have begun to want to inquire about their marriage. Even the thirteen-year-old Su Xiaoling has begun to ask questions.
Regarding this, both Su Sanlang and Zhao rejected it.
Although Su Sanlang and Zhao both said that children should focus on reading, some people still said that their views were too high after many times.
Therefore, Su Chong, Su Hua and others were under great pressure before the exam.
He was admitted as a scholar and blocked the mouth of Youyou.
If you fail the exam, there will be a wave of ridicule.
at night.
Ms. Zhao sighed softly and said, "Dad, if you fail the exam, won't the children be able to bear it?"
Will he be severely hit and unable to recover?
Ms. Zhao was very worried. Ms. Zhao had treated Zhou Heng as her own son when she was around him these past few years.
The people in the village also agreed that Zhou Heng was Su Sanlang's godson, and they always gossiped together.
In recent years, life has become better for the people in the village. Many families send their children to school for enlightenment, and many of them cannot even pass the child examination.
There are also students who have studied for several years before becoming a child student.
The imperial examination is a scholar's dream, but it is not something that can be easily achieved.
Many students have given up on the road to enlightenment.
Even Su Qing and Su Shun of the Su family were given an ultimatum this year. If they could no longer become a child by the end of the year, they would no longer be able to attend school.
There are so many people who can't learn something, and there are three students in my family. Naturally, everyone in the village will watch. Some people don't care, and some are naturally jealous.
There were several people in the village who wanted to tell their relatives' girls to Su Chong and Su Hua. After being rejected, they felt resentful and waited for them to fail the exam.
Mrs. Zhao felt uncomfortable thinking about it.
"My dear, don't think so much. Although we don't know what they have learned, but every time Master Lin talks to me, he says that they have learned a lot, which makes me feel at ease. I think there must be no problem.
.”
Su Sanlang also thought deeply about Zhao's worries. He was not afraid of being embarrassed if he failed to pass the exam.
He didn't care about this. He was also worried that several children would be discouraged because they failed to pass the exam.
But at this time, he definitely couldn't say that he was worried, he had to comfort Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao was already worried, and if he was worried like this, it would only make things worse for the two of them.
Su Sanlang stretched out his arms and hugged Mrs. Zhao tightly, smiled and said, "My dear mother, we are worried about this, why not guess whether the child in your sister's belly is a boy or a girl. If you guess correctly, how about I give you a gold bracelet?"
Qian is pregnant with her fourth child, who is now three months old.
When Su Sanlang said this, Zhao's attention was diverted.
She thought about how tired Qian was during pregnancy and how many spots appeared on her face. She smiled and said, "Looking at the fetal appearance, my brother and sister are brothers."
Thinking about Qian's pregnancy, Mrs. Zhao felt that she was most likely right. Thinking that Su Sanlang was going to give her a gold bracelet, Ms. Zhao felt a little hopeful.
But before the child was born, no one knew whether it was a boy or a girl.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but said: "Dad, what if I guess wrong?"
Su Sanlang smiled and said: "If you guess wrong, I will be rewarded with a gold bracelet. It is inconvenient for me to wear it, so I have to give it to you."
So whether she is a boy or a girl, Mrs. Zhao can get a gold bracelet.
Mrs. Zhao's heart was filled with joy and sweetness.
"It's getting late, go to bed quickly."
Su Sanlang said gently, and he kissed Zhao's forehead with pity.
Mrs. Zhao stopped worrying about anything and soon fell asleep.
On the first day of the new year, all the family members rested at home.
So together we decided to eat together at night.
Since the morning, Su Xiaozhi and Mrs. Cao have been coming here with their children.
Chen Hu and Qian's family also came over.
Qian was pregnant, so Zhao and Su Xiaozhi asked her to rest. In the kitchen, there were Zhao and Su Xiaozhi, Cao, Su Xiaoling, Hu Shuangshuang, Chen Danniu and Chen Erniu.
Chen Hu, Su Sanlang and Hu Changshou went to deal with the chickens and ducks.
The younger children all learned calligraphy from Su Hua and Zhou Heng.
Su Xiaolu and Su Chong practice martial arts while standing on a pile.
In the evening, the three families had dinner together in the courtyard, which was very lively.
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Su Xiaozhi, come out here."
Mrs. Wang came to see Su Xiaozhi. When she heard the laughter and laughter in the yard, her eyes turned sinister. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, calling Su Xiaozhi loudly and coldly.
This sudden sound made everyone pause.
Su Xiaozhi looked guilty and did not dare to look at Su Sanlang and the others. She stood up and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'll go out for a while."
After Su Xiaozhi went out, she pulled Wang towards home. She said with an embarrassed look: "Mom, please keep your voice down. What do you want from me?"
Mrs. Wang pinched Su Xiaozhi's waist angrily, and said coldly: "I can't come to you if nothing happens? You are my daughter, do I have to look at your schedule to find you?"
Su Xiaozhi hissed lightly and stopped arguing with Wang.
…
As for Su Sanlang's house, the atmosphere became much colder after Su Xiaozhi left.
Chen Hu and Qian both frowned. They didn't know when Su Xiaozhi had contact with the Su family. This feeling was very bad.
I will never forget how the Su family treated Su Sanlang and Zhao.
The Su family and the Chen family are two families that Su Sanlang and Chen Hu will never pay attention to again.
After Su Xiaozhi joined, no one said anything, but Chen Hu and Qian felt that if Su Xiaozhi was close to them, he would not be close to that Su family.
But today when Mrs. Wang came to see her, Su Xiaozhi looked flustered. It was obvious that she had private contact with the Su family but was just hiding it from them.
No one said anything because no one felt comfortable.
After a while, Su Sanlang reluctantly smiled and said: "It's okay, eat more vegetables and meat."
Even though he felt uncomfortable, Su Sanlang endured it.
Su Xiaozhi has not severed ties with Mr. Su and the Wang family. It is appropriate for them to keep in touch.
Mrs. Cao looked guilty, stood up and explained: "Sanlang, Huzi, I'm really sorry for you. I feel guilty on my old face, but after all, they are Xiaozhi's parents. Xiaozhi is kind, and her mother cried so hard that her heart broke.
, she couldn't bear it anymore, and I can't say anything to her, but I can swear to you that our family will never do anything detrimental to you, and neither will Xiaozhi."
This matter is inherently embarrassing and difficult to talk about, so I haven't said it yet.
But from the time when the two parties contacted each other, Ms. Cao had openly told Su Xiaozhi that it was okay to have contact, but if the Su family was jealous of the business and asked Su Xiaozhi to do things that were detrimental to the business, she would never do it. If Su Xiaozhi dared
If she did, she would break off the relationship with Su Xiaozhi and return to Xiaohu Village with her grandchildren.
