The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 37 The jealous Sun couple

Looking at the three government officials coming towards him, Old Zhaotou said excitedly: "Third brother, please quickly ask your mother to prepare three red envelopes. The person bringing the good news is here."

Not long after, three government officials riding tall horses walked to the front of the Zhao family yard beating gongs.

After getting off his horse, one of the cadres, who was somewhat fat and dark, stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, father-in-law, is this the home of Mr. Zhao Yunzheng and Mr. Zhao?"

Hearing his grandson's name accurately, Old Zhaotou clenched his hands in excitement.

"Yes, Zhao Yunzheng is my grandson."

Knowing that they had gone to the wrong place, the officials instantly showed official smiles.

He struck the gong and then said to Mr. Zhao, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhao. Congratulations to Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao Yunzheng won first place in the county examination."

The Yamen's words not only surprised the Zhao family, but also the villagers who came to join in the fun.

I thought I had passed the exam, but I didn't expect that I got first place.

It’s really not that simple! It seems that the old Zhao family is really going to prosper this time.

The villagers happily said congratulations to Lao Zhaotou.

Old Zhaotou was so happy that he didn't know why, and he thanked everyone.

I was about to ask the Yamen servant to come in to drink tea and take a rest.

He heard the sound of gongs being beaten not far away, and looked up to see three more government servants coming towards the direction of the Zhao family.

The team at the front who announced the good news were all stunned when they saw their approaching companions.

Why did two teams of people come to announce the good news?

Then whose reward belongs to it?
  The team coming from behind were also a little confused about the situation.

According to the regulations, he came forward and asked: "Is this the home of Mr. Zhao Yunsong and Mr. Zhao?"

Old Zhaotou's excitement became more and more obvious, and he said, "Yes, yes, Yun Song is my second grandson."

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao Yunsong ranked 20th in the county examination."

As soon as these words came out, the person who announced the good news in front understood. It turned out that there were two candidates in the family, and they both passed the exam.

He immediately raised a sincere smile and said, "I am so lucky! Both young masters have passed the exam."

The smiles on the faces of everyone in the Zhao family standing at the door became even brighter.

The villagers who followed also kept saying congratulations to Lao Zhao's house.

Looking at the government officials who were coming, Old Zhaotou quickly greeted him: "Thank you, government officials. The snow is melting in spring, and the country roads are rugged and difficult to walk.

Please come in and rest for a while. Please prepare some side dishes and wine at home. The adults had something to eat and warmed up before returning to the county town. "

After welcoming the people in, Zhao Youli led the horses to the backyard to feed fodder.

The Yang family, who took a step late, were enthusiastically blocked by the villagers and were unable to walk.

After finally squeezing out of the crowd, Yang said to everyone: "There is a happy event at home today and I am too busy. Let's invite everyone to dinner tomorrow to make it lively."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't stop him anymore. After all, there was still a messenger at home to announce the good news.

After listening to Yang's words, everyone walked back in twos and threes.

Looking at the leaving crowd, Zhao Yunxi, who had just been squeezed into the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief.

This group of people was really crazy. If she hadn't had experience squeezing buses and subways in her previous life, she would probably be squeezed in soon.

The villagers' discussions kept reaching Zhao Yunxi's ears.

They all praised the two brothers for their potential and said that the Zhao family was going to be prosperous.

Seeing the grandfather and cousin coming home, the brothers and sisters immediately greeted them.

"Just now someone from the village sent a letter saying that an official has come to announce the good news?"

Seeing everyone's excitement and concern, Zhao Yunxi hurriedly said: "That's right, grandpa. And both the eldest brother and the second brother have passed the exam. The eldest brother even ranked first in the exam."

"Okay, okay, these two children are good. After waiting for decades, we have finally waited for this day." Zhao Youde on the side saw his father looking at him, his face burning with panic. Quickly change the subject.

"Has the official who came to announce the good news already left?"

"No, Aweng invited them to eat and drink. I will have to ask my cousin to accompany them later."

"Looking at what you kid said, there is nothing wrong with the family."

As they said that, they walked towards the main room in three steps and two steps at a time.

At this time, Lezi's house was not far from Zhao's house. He just saw the official who came to announce the good news, and Lezi felt very depressed.

Unexpectedly, the Zhao family was so lucky that both of them passed the exam.

He returned home with a gloomy face, slapped the table hard and said: "What's the use of passing the Tongsheng exam? Didn't Lao Zhaotou also pass the Tongsheng exam? Didn't he also pass the Scholarship exam later on? I think these two boys are the same. "

When the leper's wife heard her man say that both boys from the Zhao family were admitted to Tongsheng, the jealousy on her face became more and more obvious.

She and Yang were both from Yangjiapu. When they were in Yangjiapu, people in the village always compared the two of them. Except that Yang Dani's family situation is better, there is not much difference between them.

In the end, they got married and the two of them went to the same village. Yang Dani married into the Zhao family. The family was harmonious and her parents-in-law did not treat her harshly.

She married into the Sun family, worked from dawn to dusk every day, even though she was scolded every day, she still didn't have enough to eat. When I can take charge of the family, I think how I can surpass the Yang family by doing a good job in the family.

As a result, the child failed to live up to his expectations, stopped doing business every day, and hung out with his friends. Thinking that Mrs. Yang had been oppressing her all her life, Mrs. Hu threw the clothes in her hands to the ground and looked at her daughter-in-law.

He said angrily: "Wash the clothes and go shopping for food that won't lay eggs."

Zhao's courtyard.

In the Zhao family hall, old brothers Zhao Tou and Zhao Youde were drinking tea and chatting with the government officials.

In the kitchen, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are busy preparing meals.

In order to entertain several government officials, Zhou killed two chickens in one go.

Half an hour later, the Zhao family brought steamed buns, rice and chicken cooked with wild mushrooms to the table.

The Yamen looked at the food on the table, feeling satisfied and surprised. Looking at this sumptuous meal, the smile on his face deepened.

Zhao's backyard.

Zhao Yunxi and others looked at the horses tied in the backyard with great fondness.

"You don't have to be envious. We will also buy them in two years. Then we will have one horse each."

Hearing Zhao Yunxi's words, Zhao Yuntong jumped up excitedly.

"Xiaojiu, are you telling the truth? You must keep your word."

"When I have money, I will buy them all for you."

After hearing Zhao Yunxi's words, the brothers and sisters were all excited.

Only Zhao Yunxuan whispered: "I don't want it anymore. I heard that a horse is very expensive."

Seeing the happy expressions of several people, Zhao Yunxi kindly did not break their assumptions.

In this era, horses were strategic materials, and families without fame were not allowed to purchase them at will.

The meal ended in a lively atmosphere.

When the government officials left, Mrs. Zhou gave each of the government officials who came to announce the good news a red envelope.

The Yachai thanked him, got on his horse, knocked the horse's belly lightly with his feet, and ran away with a clatter.

Zhao Yunbai looked at the Yamen riding away with envy in his eyes.

After returning to the main room, the Zhao family sat drinking tea and thinking about the future through drunkenness.

The government officials who left the village entrance. Stopped involuntarily. Everyone was a little surprised when they saw the amount of money inside the red envelope.

I didn’t expect that an ordinary farmer could be so generous.
