After sending Su Guoguo and his family away, Zhao Miaomiao spoke to Zhao's mother and started to leave.

Seeing that the donkey cart was already loaded with a lot of things, Mother Zhao turned around and took out another piece of white cotton cloth from the room. Zhao Miaomiao blushed, stretched out her hand to stop it, shook her head and said, "Mom..."

Zhao's mother rolled her eyes at her blocking hand, raised her hand and tapped her forehead, and said with caution, "You girl, what are you embarrassed about? Besides, I gave this to my grandson, why are you ashamed? "

After saying that, she tilted her head and smiled softly and said, "Ruirui, study hard and be a scholar when you grow up. This will help grandma gain face and support!"

Ruirui didn't seem to understand much about scholarly examinations, but she knew he was a powerful person. He nodded seriously at her with a straight face and said, "Ruirui must study hard. When he grows up, he will be admitted to scholarly examinations and protect his grandma, grandpa, father, mother, and younger brothers. Don’t let my cousin and the others bully my mother again!”

Don't let my cousin and the others bully my mother again!

Zhao Miaomiao was stunned.

Chen Shouxing smiled and reached out to touch his little head.

Mother Zhao laughed happily and said, "Ruirui, grandma and your mother are waiting for you!"

Chen Shouxing carried his son into the donkey cart, and Ruirui waved his little hands to say goodbye to Mother Zhao and the others.

When passing by the door of the second grandfather's house, I saw Zhao Yanyan and her family coming out one after another. It seemed that they were about to leave.

Zhao Miaomiao glanced at Yan Yan's silk dress, then looked at the simple ox cart, lowered her head and laughed so hard that tears almost came out, "It looks so weird, so funny!"

Chen Shouxing originally thought it looked weird, but when he heard the laughter in his ears, he found it funny for no reason and raised the corners of his mouth.

The people at the door also saw Zhao Miaomiao's family.

Zhao Yanyan was stunned for a moment when she saw the donkey cart. Then she thought of what Miao Miao had said before, that Miao Miao could save private money, and her eyes suddenly became hot. Her men pinched the waist of the person next to her.

Xu Er took a breath in pain, "What are you doing again..." Crazy!

Zhao Yanyan looked at him resentfully and muttered, "Wow! Look at Miaomiao saving her private money and buying a donkey cart. Why doesn't your mother learn from Miaomiao's mother-in-law and don't hold on to the money so tightly? If If I can keep the money from my embroidery work, we..."

Xu Er didn't understand why the Chen family was different from others. They let their daughter-in-law keep things private without dividing the family. He had to advise, "Isn't everyone like this? If the family is not separated, all the money will be handed over to the parents!"

Zhao Yanyan felt unhappy, so she didn't listen to his reasoning. She snorted angrily and murmured aggrievedly, "Miaomiao can openly save money for herself, but I have to do it secretly. I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will find out and I'll be scolded if I can't keep him. I'll be looked down upon by Xiangxiang if I marry you. Now I can't even live as well as Miaomiao..."

Xu Er frowned and said, "How can the Chen family not be as good as her? Can the Chen family eat meat every day like ours? Doesn't the daughter-in-law go to the fields? Don't just think about hoarding private money. When the family is separated, how many acres of land can she get? How many acres of land can she get? Money? Not to mention a house, what about us! We will definitely be allocated a room, and the land should be about ten acres. Money, even if my parents are more partial to the eldest brother, they won’t give it all to the eldest brother. I learned how to make steamed buns on my own. craft……"

Zhao Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief.

I watched the donkey cart and the ox cart go away.

He Zhihe was jealous that the things in the donkey cart were really cheap. Chen Shouxing was really cheap. She gritted her teeth and thought, he shouldn't have given up on Zhao Miaomiao so quickly. Aunt Zhao was the master of the family and had two children at her knees. How could she not worry about supporting her daughter!Zhao Xiangxiang felt very uncomfortable. The donkey cart was not expensive and could be bought for one or two taels, but this showed that Miaomiao was not lying. Mrs. Chen really asked Miaomiao to stock up for herself, and Miaomiao had a lot of money in her hands. She was willing to spend it to buy a donkey cart, but she didn't have a penny in her pocket, and even pawned the dowry. What would she do if her husband failed to pass the examination?
Zhao Xiangxiang's face turned pale, she grabbed He Zhihe's hand fiercely, looked at him firmly and said, "My lord, you will definitely pass the scholar examination, right?"

He Zhihe's wrist hurt, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "Of course, Xiangxiang, don't you believe me, my lord, when do I usually get up to read, and when do I rest? What Master said, don't you Did you hear that?”

Zhao Xiangxiang felt a little more at ease after thinking about how hard her husband had worked and what his wife said.

He Zhihe said with a confident look, "I just lacked a little luck before. Sooner or later, I will be selected as a scholar, and I will be a scholar. Xiangxiang, just wait to be my wife of a scholar and a scholar, wearing gold and silver. A great day to be served by maids and servants!”

Zhao Yanyan's eyes slowly lit up, as if she saw herself wearing gold and silver jewelry and silk and satin, with a maid behind her, and Yanyan and Miaomiao in front of her, lowering their waists to please her, and she chuckled. .

He Zhihe glanced at her contemptuously, what a fool he was, and when he saw her pale face and indifferent appearance, he felt even more disgusted.

the other side,
The donkey cart arrived at Li's house and picked up Chen Shoushan and his family.

Li Pangya looked at the brown sugar buns in his hand, then looked at the things on the donkey cart, his mouth opened wide, and his eyes were full of envy, "Wow! Miaomiao, your mother is so kind to you, there are sausages, date cakes, dried fish... "

Hearing her keep reading, Zhao Miaomiao blushed even more and shouted quickly, "Fourth sister-in-law! My dear fourth sister-in-law!"

Chen Shouxing touched his nose. In previous years, there was no donkey cart, and the mother-in-law could only carry a basket of things. This year, it felt like he and his wife were here to enjoy the autumn breeze!
He sighed again, the mother-in-law was afraid that Miaomiao would suffer along with him so she could support her daughter!
Chen Shouxing silently remembered the kindness of his in-laws and would be filial to him in the future. After all, he was indeed not as rich as his in-laws now. If he pretended to be fat, his mother-in-law and father-in-law would not be happy.

As soon as I left the village, I ran into an acquaintance - Li Jiaojiao, the old daughter of the village chief of Lijia Village.

Li Jiaojiao was the same age as Miao Miao, and like Xiangxiang, she was married to a boy named Lin Xudong. However, Village Chief Li loved his daughter very much and obviously had a long-term vision.

She knows that if her son-in-law passes the exam too early, it may not be a good thing for her daughter, and she also considers that if her son-in-law fails to pass the exam, her daughter will suffer a lot if she marries him.

So I persuaded Lin Xudong and Lin's father and mother to let Lin Xudong not only focus on studying, but also take time out to copy books to earn money and reduce the burden on the family.

As for how to persuade him, it may be that if Lin Xudong fails to pass the exam, the Lin brothers will be resentful!

Zhao Miaomiao stopped thinking and said hello to Li Jiaojiao.

Li Pangya also shouted carelessly, "Jiaojiao sister, you just left too!"

Li Jiaojiao's face showed a bit of surprise. She had not seen Miao Miao since she got married. She learned embroidery from Grandma Zhao back then, but she stayed with Miao Miao every day. She shouted with a smile, "Sister Fat Ya, Miao Miao, long time no see." !”

Zhao Miaomiao looked at Jiaojiao's dress, although it was not new, but her face was rosy, she was full of energy, and she was a little less delicate than before.

She smiled and nodded, lowered her eyes, grabbed her fat son's little paw and waved it, "Ruirui, little fat man, call me Aunt Jiaojiao, Uncle Lin!"
