Chapter 152 Boss
Seeing her tough attitude, the old man took out a wooden sign from his arms and said:

"Thank you, little lady, for your help. A small object is not worth much. I just carve it myself and give it to my children. I hope you don't dislike it."

Cheng Xuejian was just a small wooden plaque engraved with the shape of an eagle, which was very ordinary.He thanked him and took it with both hands.

"Old people, remember not to go alone, and don't be too tired."

After exhorting, he put his arms around Li Heng's shoulders and left without looking back.

The little episode was ignored, and the couple walked around Fucheng again, then went to the main street to buy some suet and pork belly, and headed home.

I thought the prices here would be high, but in fact they were lower than those in Pingyang County and Shushan Town. At least the price of meat was eight cents cheaper.

When they got home, Cheng Xue didn't go to work as usual, but lay down on the kang with Li Heng to rest for a while.

It took too long to walk, and my heels hurt. I haven't walked like this since spring plowing.

"Mom, what shall we have for dinner tonight?"

"Boiled scallion pancakes? Then use the oil shuttle to stew the beans, less stewing, just one meal."

Li Heng got up when he heard this, went to the outhouse to pick beans, lit a fire, and boiled water.Cheng Xue then got up, cleaned the two rooms on the left and right, and started refining oil in the west room.

Li Heng went out to pour water with a bucket. Who would have thought that he would run into the old man his mother had rescued at the entrance of the alley.

"Hello grandpa."

The old man was slightly startled, then remembered, and said in disbelief:

"Your family lives here? Why did you move here?"

"My family doesn't live here. This is a house rented by my mother. My father will come to take the provincial examination in a few days." Li Heng replied.

He didn't expect to meet an old man here, and when he goes back to tell his mother later, his mother will probably be surprised too.

The old man lamented how small the world is, pointed to the innermost house and said:

"My house is there, come to play when I have time. My granddaughter is younger than you, five years old. How old are you?"

"Seven years old. My younger sister is four years old. When she comes, I can play with your younger sister." Li Heng was quite talkative.

Suddenly recalling what his mother told him earlier, he said again:

"Grandpa, you are not in good health, why are you leaving alone? Where is your boy?"

"It's just me, my wife, and my granddaughter here. I'm fine, so don't worry. Can I go to your house and have a look?"

"Please." Li Heng led the way.

He wouldn't be able to talk so well with another person, that is, he met him before and knew him well.

"Mom, here's a visitor."

When Cheng Xue, who was adding water to the pot, heard this, her hands stopped, and the water ladle was almost lost.

Visitors?

They didn't know anyone in Fucheng, where did they come from.Could it be someone from the Lian family?

Add water, put on the lid of the pot, and when you come out and see someone coming, petrify in situ.

Good guy, you've found a home for being so capable?
The old man smiled and stepped forward, saying:
"Young lady, I didn't expect that we are neighbors. My family lives in the innermost alley."

Uh……

Cheng Xue frowned slightly and said in disbelief:

"It turns out that Uncle and I are neighbors. Fucheng is really small."

"No. When I came back, I happened to meet your son pouring water. A moment earlier or a moment later, neither of us could touch it. Do you think it is fate?"

"Yes, yes, it's really fate." Cheng Xue said while moving a bench.

One of the best things about this house is that the walls of the courtyard are all red brick walls that are one person high, so the privacy is very good.

After the old man sat down, he said:

"I heard from your son that your man is going to take the college exam? Did he take the exam this year?"

Cheng Xue told Li Heng to go to the outer room to watch the fire, nodded and replied:
"We are from Wanghe Village, Pingyang County. My husband is the teacher of the school in the village, and he is a student in the college examination this year."

"Being a teacher and taking scientific examinations? Not bad, promising."

Once many scholars enter the academy and become masters, they will stay in their ways and stop taking scientific examinations.

There is no other reason. With a profitable business and a status, there is no need to study hard.As long as you deal with the annual exams, everything will be fine.

Cheng Xue understood what he meant, waved her hands hastily, and said:
"The husband is also forced by the three sons in the family, so he has to fight. I still have two daughters."

Yo, there are so many students.

"No matter what the reason is, it's good for your man to be able to fight. My surname is Pang, and I am the master of Tengfei Academy. You saved my life today. In order to repay the favor, your man can ask for advice at any time when I am at home in the future. Don't be shy. build."

"No old man, you have already given me a wooden sign." Cheng Xue shook her head quickly.

Although it is not easy to meet a wife, but she is really worried about this unknown.

Mr. Pang didn't expect to be rejected, so he frowned and said:
"There is no need to doubt my knowledge. This year, I will participate in the test questions at the Spring Academy. I won't lie to you. I still have two talents. You can rest assured that you will let your man come."

God knows if someone saw the famous Pang Lao praising himself for the first time in order to convince the village women of his strength, his jaw would drop in shock.

He is the treasure of the town of Liaodong Prefecture. In the past, he would ask questions in Beijing, and he had to send a car to take him to the capital. In recent years, he has not been in good health, and he can't travel by car, so he gave up.

Cheng Xue hurriedly shook her head and said:
"Mr. Pang misunderstood, the little lady didn't suspect you, but the little lady just... just didn't want to trouble you."

"It's not troublesome, it's settled like this. When your man comes, ask him to find me, and I'll wait for her at home."

After Mr. Pang finished speaking, he stood up, followed by Cheng Xue, thanking him and saluting.

After sending the old man away, Cheng Xue squeezed her arm lightly.

It hurts, it's not a dream, the conversation just now is real.

Good guy, what kind of experience is it like to go shopping and save a big guy?
Cheng Xue couldn't believe it in Fucheng, and Li Hui in Wanghe Village was also scratching his head.

It's okay when I'm teaching, I'm concentrating and I don't think about it.But once the get out of class is over, I feel restless.I was always worried that something would happen in Fucheng, and if he wasn't in front of me, my wife might not be able to handle it.

After class in the afternoon, according to his past habits, he would go to the study to practice calligraphy or read a book.But he can't be here today. The three children in the family are at home, so he has to go back quickly.

"Brother Hui Zi, go back?"

"Ah, your sister-in-law went to Fucheng to tidy up the house, and I have to go back to take care of the children. Brother Xin's place is over, let him go home directly. Also, I won't go to Mrs. Liu's place these two nights, please tell me."

Seeing Zhou Fei nodding his head in response, he strode home. From a long distance away, he saw his youngest daughter and youngest son playing under the willow tree at the head of the village.

It is estimated that the two children did not expect their father to come back so early, and they rubbed their eyes with their hands to make sure that they were not dazzled.

Li Hui walked up to the two of them in a few steps, and each of them patted the back of his hand.

"With your hands covered like that and your eyes wiped, aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

"father--"

After Li Huai shouted excitedly, he climbed directly onto him.

Li Hui bent down, hugged one in each hand, and said with a tiger face:

"Don't rub your eyes from now on, you'll get sick, you know?"

Li Tian nodded obediently, while Li Huai kissed him obediently, but responded.

For the two cubs, he really loves him, he hugs them whenever he has time, and he is not afraid of being watched.Walking home with his arms in his arms, he met villagers along the way, but he didn't put the child down, so he just carried him home...
