Upon hearing what his mother-in-law said, Uncle Gong Jian's arrogance diminished a lot. Perhaps it was because he had the same fantasy in his heart. Uncle Gong Jian snorted coldly, sat on a chair, and said in a low voice: "Okay,
I'm just waiting for him to give me this surprise."
As the days passed, the day when the results of the children's examinations were announced soon came.
Originally, in the small mountain village, since Uncle Gong Jian and his wife had not gone out for the past few days, they were hiding from the villagers who were talking about the children's examination. So the topic slowly cooled down, but I don't know who was the gossip.
Villagers in the village once again told the story about the announcement of the results of the children's examination, which triggered a lively discussion.
Since he and his wife were laughed at by other people in the village a while ago because of their ignorance, Uncle Gong Jian went to ask a respected old man in the village for advice.
Only then did he realize that his son had not made it clear to him before about the specific matters of the scholar's examination for merit and fame, and the ideas he had always instilled in them contained obvious errors, so in the consciousness of the couple, there was no difference at all.
If you don’t have scholars, you still need to take exams.
The two of them had always felt that if their son studied in a private school for a long time, if he performed well and was favored by his husband or a senior official, he would naturally become an official.
Now they know that if a scholar wants to become an official, he must pass a series of examinations. If he cannot pass the examination, it will be useless no matter how long he studies.
Uncle Gong Jian and his mother-in-law were angry at their youngest son's concealment, and at the same time felt that they had lived such a long life in vain, and they had never considered asking about these issues. They had obviously been working hard to cultivate scholars, but they could not even
There is no basic common sense.
This cannot be blamed on the couple. Originally, the Gong family has been farmers digging for food in the soil since their ancestors, and there has never been a scholar. Although generations of people have been hard-working and hard-working, it can be said that Grandpa Gong Jian
After a generation, their family situation improved.
Originally, Grandpa Gong Jian thought that his family was well off. Although his sons had not caught up, there was still no problem for his grandchildren to go to school. But he did not expect that he died too early, and after his death, most of the family
All the property was taken by the eldest son as his own.
In Uncle Gong Jian's opinion, he can be considered worthy of his ancestors by supporting two scholars. He takes it for granted that his family occupies most of the property. After all, his family has two scholars. But he doesn't.
What reminded him was that it was this scholar in his family that made him unable to hold his head high in front of other people in the village.
Uncle Gong Jian had inquired last time and knew that today was the day when the results of the children's examination were announced. So early in the morning, he was waiting at home. He still had some fantasies, hoping that his youngest son could be like him.
As my mother said, I can give myself a surprise.
If it was really like that, not only the young son who brought him a surprise, but also the aunt who announced the good news in advance, he would have to thank him deeply. He waited to go home to announce the good news to his young son, but he didn't wait until sunset
, and no one came to Uncle Gong Jian’s house.
Uncle Gong Jian had accumulated a lot of anger during this day. He didn't even eat dinner, so he angrily yelled at his mother-in-law: "Tomorrow, find someone immediately and let Yaozu go home. I want to ask
Ask him what happened, did the boy take the exam, and what did he do?"
Looking at his appearance at this time, his mother-in-law could only agree. At this time, she was extremely anxious in her heart.
You know, the reason why Aunt Gong Jian is looking for her younger son is not just because of the child exam. In her opinion, this matter is not urgent. After all, it is a certainty that her son can study, and sooner or later, the younger son will
She is getting ahead. What she is more anxious about now is the title deed to the three acres of paddy field that her youngest son took away last time.
At that time, the younger son clearly said that after rescuing his husband, he would naturally return the money to him, and then he would redeem the land deed. This matter could have passed without anyone noticing.
.
But several months have passed, and there is no news from her youngest son. Auntie Gong Jian can't help but become more and more worried about this matter.
Now, while her husband was anxious, she called her youngest son back to ask about Tong Sheng's exam. Aunt Gong Jian wanted to ask her younger son about the land deed, but they coincided with each other. Early the next morning, she
She asked people from the village to go to the town and bring a message to her youngest son, asking him to go home.
The person Gong Jian was looking for was someone whose younger son had once brought a message to him, and he was also an idle man in the village. Gong Jian also asked her youngest son how she could let such a guy bring him a message.
You know, this man's reputation in the village is not very good.
The idle man has nothing to say all day long, and he always likes to hang out with girls and young wives. When people in the village talk about him, they shake their heads. But such a person often brings back information about his youngest son.
Aunt Gong Jian didn’t even remember what her youngest son told her. In short, at that time, she felt that everything her son said was right. For him to choose such an idle man, she wanted to bring him some message. Aunt Gong Jian
I don't think there is any problem anymore.
Now that Auntie Gong Jian wanted him to bring a message to her youngest son, she was still a little worried, so she had to tell her repeatedly that Gong Yaozu must come back as quickly as possible.
Looking at Aunt Gong Jian who was still nagging in front of her, the idle man waved his hand indifferently and waddled towards the town.
Uncle Gong Jian's heart was even more excited. For such an unreliable person, could he accurately deliver the message to Yaozu? Now she feels a little regretful. She should have gone earlier if she had known.
He went to a private school in town and went directly to find his younger son.
But a few years ago, her son seemed to have told her that the private school in the town had moved. It was definitely not the same address where they sent their son to the private school.
At that time, Aunt Gong Jian didn't ask carefully about the new address of the private school, so even if she ran to the town now, she probably wouldn't be able to find the private school, let alone her youngest son. She had no choice but to rely on
I had to rely on such a reliable person to deliver the news.
But Mrs. Gong Jian's worries were unnecessary. The idle men in the village were not as unreliable as he seemed. Soon he went to the town and met a few gangsters who usually liked him.
Where I was staying, I found Gong Yaozu, who was walking arm in arm with the gangsters. (To be continued)
