Bu Fan didn't know what happened to Tiedan and the others in the capital.
At this moment, the weather was nice and sunny, and Dani's second sister's family came over to visit her.
Since the room was a little stuffy, Bu Fan and Dani invited the couple to drink tea under the peach tree.
Dani's second brother-in-law's surname is Xu, and her husband's name is Xu Nian. They have twin siblings, an elder sister named Huanhuan, and a younger brother named Xixi.
This shows the expectations that Erni and his wife have for these two children.
at this time.
The two cute twin siblings were trying to catch the tails of the big ox and the little white donkey in the yard.
The big ox and the little white donkey swung their tails around without raising their eyes.
The two twins chased each other back and forth, giggling.
"Happy, come to Auntie's side, there are mung bean cakes to eat."
Dani placed a plate of mung bean cake on the table, looked at the twin siblings playing around and smiled.
"Auntie, we don't want to eat!"
The two cute twins said in unison, still chasing their two tails.
"Sister, please ignore them. These two troublemakers will come over and eat themselves when they are hungry!"
The speaker was Erni, Dani's second sister.
Er Ni has a delicate appearance, and her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Dani's.
In fact, Dani's four sisters are all good-looking. It should be said that they all take after his mother-in-law, Li Zhang.
"Be careful, don't get stepped on!"
Erni was not worried that the big ox and the little white donkey would step on the two children.
After all, she knew that the little white donkey raised by the village chief was very smart, but she still had to warn him.
"Mom, we know it!" the two twins said in unison.
"Second sister, why do you have time to bring Huan Huanxi over to play today?" Dani asked with a smile.
"We came here to see our parents, so we stopped by to see you! Where is little Lu Ren?" Erni asked curiously.
"He is reading in the house!" Dani replied.
"That's it, then don't bother him. Brother-in-law, I heard that everyone in your academy passed the imperial examination?"
Erni originally wanted Xiao Luren to take her two children to play, but when she heard that Xiao Luren was in trouble, she stopped disturbing him.
"Absolutely. The situation of Tiedan and the others is not clear yet?" Bu Fan shook his head.
"It's definitely not bad. If Tiedan and the others come back as the number one scholar, then our village will be the number one village!"
Erni looked a little excited. The better her natal village was, and the faces of these married girls would also look bright.
"Then I'll lend you your good words!" Bu Fan said with a smile: "Second brother-in-law, I heard that you are also a scholar?"
Erni's husband, Xu Nianguo, whose face is also named "Xu Nianguo", sat there and didn't say much, giving people a calm and honest feeling.
At this moment, when he saw Bu Fan asking, he immediately sat up straight and said, "Village Chief, I have only attended a private school for three or four years and barely know a few words. I am not considered a scholar!!"
Bu Fan was startled for a moment.
Then, somewhat dumbfounded, he said, "Second brother-in-law, you don't need to call me village chief, just call me by my name, or do like Erni and call me brother-in-law!!"
"Yeah, my brother-in-law doesn't know how to eat people, why are you nervous?"
Erni's tone seemed to be lecturing Xu Nian, but her eyes were full of tenderness and smile.
"I am a little nervous when I see my brother-in-law, just like my previous wife!"
Xu Nian scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
Bu Fan and Dani looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh at Xu Nian's words.
This brother-in-law is really a wonderful person.
…
After exchanging pleasantries, they got down to business.
In fact, the purpose of Erni's family coming here is to inquire about the college's enrollment.
After all, who in Shili Village today doesn't know that as long as you enter the extraordinary academy in Nouo Village, you will undoubtedly be a child student, a scholar, and a scholar.
Therefore, Erni and Xu Nian both want Huanhuanxi to come to Bufan Academy to study.
"There may be nothing we can do this year. There are not enough classrooms in the academy and there is no way to recruit more students. We can only wait until the academy is expanded again next year before enrolling again!!"
Bu Fan explained.
"When will next year be?" Erni and Xu Nian asked anxiously.
"October! It happens to be the end of the autumn harvest, so the children can concentrate on studying." Bu Fan replied.
"That's it, then next year we will ask Huan Huanxi to come to the academy to take the exam!"
Er Ni and Xu Nian had a look of pity on their faces.
Nowadays, Bufan Academy is not responsible for the enlightenment of children.
Therefore, those who come to Bufan Academy to study are either children who have completed their enlightenment or young people who have studied in private schools for several years.
Bu Fan didn't expect that Erni and his wife would want Huanhuanxi to take the exam and enter the academy to study.
After all, given the relationship between their two families, it would be really difficult for him if Erni's family really trusted him.
You must know that when the private school was first built, it was purely for the purpose of educating and literacy for the children in the village.
Later, as the private school became more and more famous, in order to politely refuse others, he could only say that the private school only taught children from the village.
Until there were too many people studying.
He refused even if it was not good.
I can only say that everyone else who wants to enter the academy must take the exam.
If you make an exception and accept Huan Huanxi, it will undoubtedly break the rules.
Although Erni and he are related, everyone in this small village is more or less related to each other.
There are also many girls like Erni who have married outside.
Once you make an exception and accept Huan Huanxi's words, it will be difficult to explain.
However, from this approach, we can also see the character of Erni and his wife.
…
After dinner and chatting about some family matters, Erni and his family got up to say goodbye.
Huan Huanxi looked at the big ox and the little white donkey with some reluctance, but it was Dani who said she would come back to play another day, so the twins were willing to leave.
Looking at the family leaving happily, Bu Fan said with a smile: "Don't worry now, Erni is marrying well! She and her husband have a very good relationship."
"Um!"
Dani nodded, feeling much relieved.
"Actually, my mother-in-law is very discerning when choosing her son-in-law!" Bu Fan said with a smile.
At first, Dani worshiped at Xuantianmen.
It can be said that this is the most prosperous time for Dani's family.
There are countless people who want to marry Er Ni and San Ni, and each of them has a high status.
They were either wealthy businessmen in the town, landlords, or even officials.
But his mother-in-law didn't choose any of these people.
Instead, he chose the Xu family, which has a simple population and a fairly good family background.
Compared with those other families before, the Xu family is really inconspicuous.
But in the end, judging from the relationship between Erni and his wife, his mother-in-law made the right choice.
"Brother Bu Fan, why do I think you are bragging?" Dani suddenly covered her mouth and smiled.
"Yes?" Bu Fan smiled.
Under the setting sun, the two held hands and watched Erni and her family leave.
"Brother Bu Fan, do you like boys or girls?" Suddenly, Dani asked.
"Actually, I like both boys and girls!"
Bu Fan didn't expect Dani to ask this.
However, he still knew their situation.
I can only say it's random.
"Really? I think boys are better!" Dani said.
"It's too naughty, but I think girls are nice, caring little cotton-padded jackets, as pretty as you!"
But it doesn’t matter to the boy, just prepare a few more bamboo sticks." Bu Fan said with a smile.
