Shaoyin teased with her son, but didn't visit Gu Tingyuan.

It wasn't until he became anxious and his fair face flushed anxiously that she looked up and said indifferently, "I am not being bullied. I pretend to be a man, and no one sees me through. And my winnings are not that much. , They didn't embarrass me."

Being "bully" is a very serious matter.

In an open social environment, the lethality is huge, let alone such an environment. She knew that Gu Tingyuan didn't mean that at first, but in order to let him not associate it in the future, she was still "angry".

"I won't go again." Finally, she said.

After saying this, she bowed her head to tease her son, scratched his nose, and scratched his armpits.

Seeing his wife's indifferent appearance, Gu Tingyuan felt annoyed and regretted in his heart, why couldn't he think about it? Obviously he didn't mean that, he was just worried that she would suffer. But even if "bullying" was changed to "suffering", I'm afraid she would still misunderstand his intentions.

She had treated him a lot colder, but now, Gu Tingyuan didn't know how to save her heart.

"You earned the money. Take it." He handed over the three hundred taels of silver bills and added: "In our house, you have always been in charge of the money."

Shao Yin looked up, glanced at him, smiled, and took the bank note: "Okay, then."

Seeing her taking the bank note, Gu Tingyuan felt relieved. Seeing her with a smile on her face again, she didn't seem to be very angry, and she became more courageous: "What you said before, about building a house and buying a maid, I thought about it, and I can rent a house in the county town."

He felt that if nothing unexpected happened, he would be on the list this time. In this case, after returning home, you can consider opening a private school to collect students.

He wants to open a private school in the county seat, so that it is easier to communicate with classmates and husbands. As for buying a little girl, if she buys a girl in the village, she will definitely be talked about by the villagers.

There is no need to repair or expand the home in the home. There will be a local examination in the autumn of the next year, and he will definitely end. Once he is promoted, he will really embark on a road to the blue sky. In the spring of the following year, I will go to Beijing to take the Chunwei exam again...

If it's hit, it won't go back to the country again. If he fails, he will not go back to the country, but will teach and study in the county town to prepare for the exam.

"Listen to you." Shaoyin hesitated, then nodded in response.

She originally wanted to repair a house in the country, because country life is still very interesting, and there are children playing with her when she stays in the country. But she thought about it again, An'er was four years old during the Chinese New Year, and he was more intelligent, so he could start reading.

Gu Tingyuan has been enlightening him, no matter how busy or tired he is, he has never stopped, making time to teach him every night. Although the countryside is fun, I can't continue to indulge in it.

This is why Shaoyin uses food and play to coax the children in the village to play with An'er. They won't become best friends for life, but just playmates when they were young. They don't have to pursue any sincerity or not. It's enough to have fun together.

The two sat at the table, talking about their future plans. An'er couldn't understand, she lay in her mother's arms for a while, sat on his father's lap for a while, and then ran away to eat snacks and get toys, enjoying herself.

Gu Tingyuan was happier as he spoke. His wife planned the future together with him, indicating that she did not intend to leave him!

That's it! This is very good!

As time goes by, he will always coax her to change her mind, be close to him, and live affectionately. At that time, she neither loves to quarrel with him, but also considers and loves him, it is simply a fairy day.

There is light in the scholar's eyes, both the light of hope for the future and the light of happiness.

With plans for the future, Gu Tingyuan understood the importance of money even more. He would copy books, write poems, and paint every day, and then sell them.

Waiting for the list of fellow villagers to invite him to drink, he often declined, every day either to make money or to accompany his wife and children. Occasionally bumped into by a fellow countryman, he said with a pity on his face: "You have suffered."

Gu Tingyuan said: "You are not a fish, you know the joy of fish."

Although the scratches on his face healed, some traces could still be seen. The fellow villager took a few glances, felt that his mouth was stiff, and stopped talking. It's just that "the child is not a fish, the joy of knowing the fish" has spread among the same towns and has a new interpretation.

"It's okay for you to gather with them." After Shaoyin knew about it, he persuaded him: "Among these people, there are always some promising people, and they will be more or less helpful in the future."

When she said this, she was in the backyard of the inn. Gu Tingyuan was sitting by the well, scrubbing clothes.

The family came to Fucheng and each prepared a set of clothes. Some time ago, Gu Tingyuan wanted to read, so Shaoyin washed it. Now that he has finished the exam, he has taken over chores.

Hearing this, he shook his head: "Not in a hurry."

Many people like to make friends before the other person is promising. This is to get acquainted with Weihan, and the friendship is more noble and deeper.

Gu Tingyuan felt that if the other party is a high-level person, it will not be too late to make friends. And if the other party is a small belly chicken intestine, a utilitarian person, it will be useless to make friends any time.

This is related to his life experience. His parents died early, and they supported themselves when they were very young. Many of the relatives and neighbors who used to have a lot of contacts and close contacts have changed their faces. And some people who haven't dealt with him very much, see him in difficulty, but will reach out to help.

"A gentleman's friendship is as pale as water, so you don't have to deliberately greet you." He said.

Shaoyin did not persuade.

In a blink of an eye, the day to put the list has arrived.

A family of three went early to guard the list. Gu Tingyuan was worried that there would be more people crowding his wife and children, so he asked them to wait in the herbal tea pavilion not far away. He himself waited in front.

"Okay." Shao Yin nodded, picked up his son and left.

Finally, the noise suddenly became loud, and it turned out that the list was posted. Shao Yin felt a little sure in her heart, but at this time she was still a little nervous, and looked towards Zhang Bang for the first time.

Not long after, Gu Tingyuan, who couldn't hide his joy, hurried over: "I passed the exam!"

He was so happy, he hugged his wife and children: "I passed the exam!"

After looking forward to it for many years, and after two heavy blows, he finally got his wish!

Gu Tingyuan was so happy that he didn't know what to do, so he could only pick up his son and kiss his tender little face fiercely!

An'er giggled as she was kissed, and turned her head to dodge.

Gu Tingyuan looked at his wife with fiery eyes. In the public, it was hard to do anything. He held his son in one hand and his wife's hand in the other: "Let's go back."

The hand held by him experienced kneading, rubbing, rubbing the palms of the palms, and clasping five fingers along the way, and repeated cycles.

The man's heart is like a sea, and he really does not know how to pour out. Shao Yin was happy for him, so he didn't withdraw his hand.

The family of three returned to the inn, packed their luggage and checked out.

The daily accommodation fee is one hundred and twenty-five essays. Now that the grades come out, it is better to go back home immediately and save some money.

The rented carriage had drove far out of the city gate. Gu Tingyuan lowered the curtain, looked back, hugged his son, and kissed him.

The city is prosperous and lively. These days, Gu Tingyuan has seen the happiness of his wife and children in his eyes, and vowed in his heart to stand out so that his wife and children can live a prosperous and happy life in the future.

An'er does not have his sadness. He has a big baggage at hand, which contains more than twenty kinds of toys that he bought for him these days. He opened the count from time to time, touched them one by one, and said happily: "This is for Brother Zhuzi to play."

"This is for Sister Xiaohua to play."

"I will play this myself."

Back in the village, it was already the end of July.

The weather was a bit cold, and the adults and children in the village added clothes.

I saw a carriage stopped at the entrance of the village from a distance. The adults and children all looked over, and soon saw familiar faces stepping out of the carriage. I don't know who shouted: "Gu Tingyuan is back!"

The adults were not doing well, but the children hurried over with a shout, and greeted them from a distance: "An'er!"

"An An!"

"Xiao An!"

The sandbags were already broken by playing. The adults in the family didn't sew them. Xiao Hua sewed them with a clumsy craftsmanship. Although they were sewn, they were very ugly. The children quickly stopped playing.

If Aunt Gu is here, there must be other fun. The children have been talking for a long time, greedy for food, and greedy for play. Now that the man finally came back, he was so excited.

When they entered the village, the adults also asked, "Are you back?"

"Have you passed the exam?"

"Is the palace big?"

Gu Tingyuan replied: "Si Ye, I am back."

"Lucky to be on the list."

"Yo! I passed the exam!"

"After that, don't you want to call it a master of scholarship?"

The village exploded suddenly.

Gu Tingyuan couldn't take it off and was surrounded by men, women and children.

Shaoyin was also surrounded by several women, who pulled her to ask about what happened in Fucheng.

Soon, An'er was also surrounded. Because he held his favorite Jiu Lianhuan in his hand, not willing to be left out, he pointed to the big baggage his father was carrying and said, "There are all my toys in there!"

The children admired.

The children are crazy.

"let me see!"

"Let me play!"

"An'er, good An'er, shall we go to your house?"

After a lot of excitement, the family of three finally got out.

There were also many villagers behind him, both men and women, both old and young. The men talked around Gu Tingyuan and the women talked around Shaoyin. Of course, the children surrounded An'er in the middle.

After entering the yard, Shaoyin took out the key from the baggage and opened the door. I haven’t lived for a long time, and the house is dusty, but no one cares anymore. Even An'er doesn’t care, and jumps up and down anxiously, asking his father to put the burden on the bed. He wants to open it to his brothers and sisters. Let's see!

Shaoyin rolled up his sleeves and cleaned. Several women enthusiastically helped, and it didn't take long to clean the house.

The room is not big enough to squeeze a lot of people, even if the children have already taken off their shoes and went to bed, they still can't stand up.

As a result, the children were called down and asked to go home and move stools. After running back and forth several times, the women sat in the house and the men sat in the yard, talking.

Shaoyin also boils water and makes tea to entertain everyone. Gu Tingyuan has won the talents, and they should be more decent if they have such a bright face. Not only that, but a banquet will be held in a few days, and the whole village will be invited to have a banquet.

They came back at noon, and the house gradually calmed down until the evening.

In the afternoon, Shaoyin boiled water several times, and Gu Tingyuan couldn't get out of his body, and there was nothing he could do to help. At this moment, the neighbors had all sent it away, so they rolled up their sleeves and started to clean up the dinner.

An'er is counting the toys.

He sent out a few items, but the remaining amount was not up to date, and it was two less.

He has a very good memory, and he clearly remembers which ones were sent out and which ones were missing.

"Maybe someone likes it too much. Let's play for a few days." Shaoyin comforted his pouting son.

An'er was upset, grabbing the remaining toys, and said unhappily, "It's not about taking it, it's about stealing it."

Gu Tingyuan often tells it stories and teaches him the basic concepts of life. He is very clear about the concept of "steal".

"Taking without asking is for stealing!"

He didn't know who stole it, but he was very angry. Shaoyin touched his head and said, "I will tell you about this, and take good care of your own things."

An'er lowered her head and said nothing.

There are so many people and toys this afternoon. Where can he come to see it?

He didn't speak, but Shaoyin knew he remembered it in his heart, so he didn't say more. Soon, Gu Tingyuan made dinner.

He made gnocchi, heated the steamed buns he bought on Hot Road, and fried a plate of eggs.

After the family had dinner, they blew the lights and rested.

After a few days of hard work, and half a day to deal with the villagers, the family of three was very tired. Even the unhappy An'er fell asleep quickly.

A family of three lay on the big bed at home, no longer as crowded as in the inn, but except for An'er, who slept freely in it with open arms and legs, neither Shaoyin nor Gu Tingyuan straightened their arms and legs.

The main reason is that Gu Tingyuan hugs his wife to sleep every night and is used to it. When he got into bed, he hugged her from behind and trapped her in his arms. Kiss her neck and then kiss her ears.

I usually fell asleep after a few kisses, but today Xu was too happy, and perhaps he was at ease when he returned home. The man was a little bit contemplative.
