His nephew has always been taciturn and can't beat a fart with three sticks. He just figured out the two bedrooms. It’s only because of my petty temper that I acted like this.
But after all, he lived older than Xue Tingyan, so naturally he would not forget to do superficial things.
He sighed: "The talented boy was spoiled by his mother, and it's because I, the uncle, have failed to discipline him well. I'm here to help you."
Xue Tingyan hurriedly got out of the way and said: "Uncle, please don't say that. Ting'er is a junior and can't bear it."
"Ting'er? I didn't expect you to give yourself a name." Xue Qingshan laughed, but also wanted to point out that Xue Tingyan's name was incorrect and he was not as sensible and polite as he appeared.
Generally, names are given by elders, and should not be chosen randomly by the younger generation. If they are ordinary villagers, that's fine. But Xue Tingyan is a scholar. Scholars should know etiquette and observe etiquette. If they don't observe etiquette, this is The book was read in vain.
Xue Tingyan's heart was extremely clear and he understood what the uncle meant. He chuckled and said: "When my father was still alive, he asked me and my uncle to help me choose a name. The uncle refused because he had a cheap name so that he could make a living. . Now that Ting'er is fourteen, she can't keep using her nickname, so she picked one at random."
As soon as these words came out, Xue Qingshan's face became a little ugly. Xue Tingyan was obviously saying that he, an uncle, was unwilling to give him a name, which was deliberately demeaning. After all, since you are already educated, you should never be without a name.
He smiled reluctantly and explained: "Uncle, seeing that your health is not good, he wants to wait until you are an adult before naming you. You can't understand this painstaking effort, what if I don't choose one for you now?"
With that said, he didn't wait for Xue Tingyan's answer, he sighed and looked melancholy, and said: "You have been weak since you were born. When your father was alive, he hoped that you would be blessed and live longer, so your uncle named you Fushou. What do you think?"
The name was chosen so casually, and it is not at all worthy of the name of Xue Qingshan, the only child in Yuqing Village.
Xue Tingyan hesitated for a moment and then refused: "I still can't be uncle. Ting'er's name has been decided. I went to the grave to inform my parents before, so there is no way to change it."
This remark also clarified why he went to the cemetery every year. Ever since Xue Tingyan saw that Xue Qingshan had invited so many people and caused such a scene, she knew that the other party must have something up his sleeve.
No matter what his plans are, he just blocks all the ways that may be used by the other party to make a fuss, and waits and sees what happens.
Sure enough, the face of Patriarch Xue next to him softened a little.
Before, he had always thought that this kid Erfang did it deliberately, just to compete with Juncai for the opportunity to study at Qinghe Academy. This time I came to see this young man who is gentle and polite, neither humble nor arrogant. Although Patriarch Xue has no fame, he still knows a few words. He has been the patriarch for many years, so he naturally has a good eye for people.
He was very surprised, because he had seen Gouzi before, but he was not deeply impressed by him. His only impression was that he was an inconspicuous young man. Now it seems that this child has grown up somewhat unexpectedly.
No matter how unexpected it was, Patriarch Xue did not forget what he was doing here.
Just a favorable impression was not enough to make him shake the decision he had already made. He had asked someone to test Juncai, and he was much more knowledgeable than his two grandsons. If the next child in Yuqing Village could be named, Patriarch Xue felt that Xue Juncai was the most likely candidate.
Maybe he is not just a child, but a scholar.
With two future talents and a young boy who still doesn’t know how to deal with it, Patriarch Xue naturally knows how to answer this multiple-choice question.
However, the previous idea of helping out was abandoned. If Xue Qingshan couldn't even handle a child, it wouldn't be worth his attention.
How could Xue Qingshan not see what Patriarch Xue was thinking. In his eyes, this old man is just a master who never sees rabbits but doesn't let go of hawks. He receives the benefits he brings to the clan, but never knows how to do him any favors.
If any clan has an ethnology, the clan will not subsidize one or two of them. On the contrary, he worked all day long. Every time a certain family in the clan would randomly bring some food, the clan leader would call him over and ask him to accept it.
Being generous to others, wasting other people’s wealth, being ruthless to others, is meaningless to oneself!
Xue Qingshan sneered in his heart, but with a respectful expression on his face, he invited clan leader Zheng Lizheng and others into the house.
Clan Chief Xue and Zheng Li were sitting cross-legged on the kang, one on the left and one on the right, while the others were sitting on stools below. Yang and Zhou were busy pouring tea, and even Xue Taoer was sent to ask Mr. Xue to come home quickly.
Both Patriarch Xue and Zheng Lizheng had the habit of smoking cigarettes, so they took out their cigarette bags when they sat down.
Xue Qingshan hurriedly took a bag of tobacco leaves from his mother, Mrs. Zhao, and while offering the two cigarettes, he said: "My father grew this by himself. It is usually very precious. My cousin and Uncle Li Zheng will taste it." Taste."
"The tobacco your father grew is good, but there is too little." After lighting it, Zheng Lizheng took a deep breath and said with a smile.
Xue Qingshan replied: "If Uncle Li Zheng likes it, I will pretend to be a little bit with you when I leave later. Just don't dislike it."
These are all polite words, and everyone knows what they are talking about. Zheng Lizheng smiled and nodded, and then went straight to the topic: "Shanzi invited us old guys over this time. What are you planning to do?"
Looking at Zheng Lizheng's smiling face, Xue Qingshan cursed the old fox in his heart.
He would never believe that things would turn out like this. If the man surnamed Zheng did nothing inside, he would never believe it. But it was precisely because of this that he even invited Zheng Lizheng here today. After all, he was Lizheng from Yuqing Village and his surname was Zheng, so he could avoid being said to be covering up.
Including several villagers present today, Xue Qingshan was thinking about inviting them. There were some with the surname Zheng, some with the surname Xue, and two others with mixed surnames in the village, but they were all popular in the village.
"Is there something that needs some elders to make the decision? Should I wait for my dad? He is in the fields and will be back soon."
While talking about Mr.
"I feel ashamed to say this. Some things in my family recently made everyone laugh."
Hearing the beginning of these words, except for Patriarch Xue and Zheng Lizheng, everyone here could not help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, this is someone else’s family matter. Although this family matter has been brought to the public, it can be discussed in private and obtained. On the table, it's two different things.
"Actually, to put it bluntly, it's all caused by poverty. If our family's previous situation was like this, we wouldn't be like this. We gave one baby as a gift but not the other."
An old man named Xue Lianhe, also named Xue and a contemporary of Mr. Xue, sighed: "Lian Xing, don't say that, your family is in trouble too."
Mr. It will become a problem."
With trembling hands, he took out the dry pipe from his waist, lit it and took a puff, and then said: "The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. It makes me feel bad to lose any of them. In fact, this matter was discussed last year, and I have been I put it off because I was afraid that the baby would feel uncomfortable. It is not easy for a family like ours to provide for a scholar. It was not easy for the family to provide Shanzi. Although he did not live up to expectations and failed to pass the exam several times, in the end he still wanted to be a scholar. The village has done something for all of us.
"Everyone has noticed our family's behavior in the village over the years. We won't mention it even if it is far away, just talk about the private school in Shanzi. As long as you are from the village and your family is not well-off, you may even be late for repairs." Less, our family never mentions it. Why? It’s because we country people have a hard time making a living. We face the loess and our backs to the sky. If God doesn’t show mercy, the whole family will suffer from famine. After being tired all year round, some of us can’t even pay taxes. .
"Actually, I'm not afraid of the laughter of a few brothers and sisters. I worked hard to support Shanzi's education. I just thought that if I could pass the exam, I would be able to exempt my family from some taxes."
These words were just to the point. They seemed to be spoken lightly for a few words and then went no further, but they made everyone feel mixed.
Mr.
Finally someone stood up and spoke out about the previous incident, "Brother Lianxing, please stop talking. We still can't trust your character? When someone in the village spread rumors, we told all the children at home, even Brother Xing is not that kind of person. There are some grandfathers who don’t care about their grandchildren."
"Yes, yes, everyone can understand it. It's not difficult for anyone."
Seeing that everyone was echoing what Mr. Xue was saying, only the man named Zheng remained silent. Zheng Lizheng's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Everyone in the village is watching Shanzi's contribution to our village. They all know Shanzi's benevolence and righteousness." , People have to think about everyone. I just have one sentence, I don’t know if I, as an elder, should say it."
"Uncle Li Zheng, you are the Li Zheng of our village, there is nothing inappropriate to say."
Zheng Lizheng nodded: "Logically speaking, this is your family's business, and I, an outsider, shouldn't interfere. But Lian Xing also said it before, the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh." He sighed suddenly, speaking seriously. Said: "Shan Zi, don't forget why your second child is missing. We all here can understand. It's because we have lived for decades and have never seen anything ups and downs in our lives. We are afraid that outsiders cannot understand."
These words made Xue Qingshan look ugly on the spot, but since he could arrange this situation, it was not that he had no countermeasures.
