MTL - Poor Family-Chapter 42 turn over
Chapter 42 The big weapon turned over
Today is a day off, and a grand celebration ceremony was held in the school of Lushan Township. The news that Li Yanqing and the others won the top spot in the boys' meeting spread to the town yesterday, and the town was full of excitement. This is the first time in decades that Xiaohe Township won To be number one in the county is even more exciting than when Li Jiaer Erlang was awarded a Jinshi.
Li Jiaer Er Lang Zhong Jinshi only represents him personally, but Lushan Town Xuetang's winning the head of Tangyin County represents the whole township, and it is the honor of the whole township. Everyone feels honored.
The four big country gentry immediately decided to hold a grand celebration ceremony in the school. Basically, all the countrymen with a little face were invited. All the benches in the school were lifted out, and the small playground of the school was full Hundreds of guests.
More than a dozen students from the university room acted as temporary hosts, and borrowed hundreds of large coarse porcelain bowls from the tavern.
Li Daqi was also invited. His son won the first place in the county. He was very proud, but he didn't dare to show it. Instead, he hid among a group of Li clan members. He was afraid that others would point to Qing'er and say, 'look! That is the son of Li Zhuodao. '
He was very proud of his son, but at the same time he felt extremely guilty for causing him trouble.
"Great weapon!"
Someone behind him was calling him, and when he turned around, it was Li Wenyou, the patriarch, who hurried forward to salute, Li Wenyou smiled and said: "I heard from friends in the county that we won the championship this time mainly because of Qing'er's outstanding performance. The face of the family! Daqi, it’s because of your good education.”
Li Daqi said shamelessly: "It is the ancestors who have spirits under the spring, protecting Qing'er."
"Yes! Yes! That's true."
Li Wenyou appreciated this sentence very much, and he himself felt it deeply. He looked at both sides, and then said in a low voice: "This is for you and me to talk about, but please don't spread it. It will not be good for Qing'er!"
"I understand, please rest assured the patriarch."
At this time, someone called Li Wenyou from a distance, and Li Wenyou shook his head and smiled wryly: "You can find me for everything, and your legs are going to run thin."
"Those who can do more work, the patriarch can go to work! I can just stay by myself."
Li Wenyou asked other clansmen to greet Li Daqi, but he hurried away by himself.
Li Daqi had just sat down, but when he turned his head, he found that Du Baozheng Li Wengui was sitting next to him.
Li Wengui kept a straight face, as if he didn't know Li Daqi. He and his brother almost fell out because of Li Yanqing, first because of Liu Chenghong, and then his grandson was replaced by Li Yanqing, but Li Yanqing still performed well. Slapping Li Wengui in the face.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was also in charge of Baozheng, he wouldn’t have the interest to attend any celebration party. Li Wengui glanced at Li Daqi coldly, snorted, got up and sat elsewhere.
Li Daqi was really embarrassed. At this moment, there was a burst of firecrackers from the gate, and someone shouted: "Come here! Come!"
Li Daqi didn't care about any embarrassment, he quickly stood up and looked towards the gate. The head in front of him blocked his sight. He simply stood on the wooden bench, stretched his neck, and finally saw his son.
I saw my son Li Yanqing and the other three were carried into the gate by dozens of young people, each with big red flowers on their bodies, and walked to the front amidst applause and cheers.
Li Daqi's tears flowed down unsatisfactorily. He wiped his tears and looked around. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone whispering behind him: "That person is Brother Qing's father!"
"Teaching your son well! Birth such a vigorous son."
Li Daqi's heart was beating wildly, but he didn't dare to turn his head, but his ears were pierced, and he could hear every word of the person behind him clearly.
"I heard that he used to be a juren, but later he offended the county magistrate and was punished miserably. Now that his son is up to the challenge again, I think my father educated him well since he was a child!"
"That's right, if I educate my son like him, maybe my son can also win the first place in the county."
Li Daqi's back slowly straightened up. For the first time in so many years, he heard someone praising him behind his back instead of poking his back and scolding Li Zhuodao. This made him feel emotional and excited.
. . . . . . .
The celebration ceremony didn't end until noon, and the crowd gradually dispersed. Li Daqi was called forward by the patriarch, who introduced him to two other great gentry from the village, Wang Wanhao and Tang Lian.
In fact, they have known each other for a long time, but it is not easy to mention the past, so everyone pretended to meet for the first time. Wang Wanhao and Tang Lian repeatedly praised Li Yanqing for being smart and Li Daqi for teaching his son well, and warmly invited their father and son when they were free Go to the house as a guest.
Finally everyone went home, Li Daqi saw his son leading a donkey waiting for him at the gate of the school, his heart felt hot, and he walked up quickly.
"Daddy, how about this donkey?" Li Yanqing patted the strong donkey beside him and smiled.
This donkey is his prize, not only the donkey, but also a reward of 20 coins per person, which is quite a reward.
Li Daqi patted his son's head, looked at the donkey again and said with a smile: "This donkey is not bad. It is a Texas Sanfen donkey. It is tall and strong. It should sell for at least 15 yuan in the Luoma market."
"This donkey will be used by Daddy in the future."
Li Daqi quickly waved his hand, "I don't need it, it's just right for you to ride to school!"
"It's only three miles from me to the school. Li Er and Li San are walking and playing on the road. Besides, the school doesn't have a place to tie a donkey. It's best for Dad to ride it to the county."
Seeing his son's filial piety, Li Daqi happily agreed. He led the donkey and said with a smile, "Let's go to the town to buy food first, and then go home!"
"Daddy, how is Dahei?"
"Of course Dahei is good. I caught another weasel with a big belly yesterday. Mrs. Hu is very happy, so I rewarded it with a big bun."
"What about our house? It should be repaired!"
"It has been repaired, and there is an extra room than the original one. Dad left it for you. You will have your own room in the future, and you have bought furniture..."
The father and son walked while talking, leading the donkey to the town.
. . . . . .
Li Daqi and his son had just returned to the entrance of the village when the sound of firecrackers sounded again. Baozheng and Li Zhen came out with the whole village. Li Yanqing was surprised and moved. He hurried forward to thank everyone.
Neighbor Uncle Hu took him with a dozen youngsters and directly carried him up. The whole village cheered and applauded together. Li Zhen gave Li Daqi a thumbs up and said, "Brother Qing is giving our village face this time!"
Aunt Gu rushed to the side and said: "Yes! I went shopping in the town today, and the storekeeper heard that I was from Li Wencun, and they praised me repeatedly, and they sold it to me at a cheap price. Brother Qing won us glory , Daqi! In the past, my sister-in-law was sorry for you and said some nasty things, so I apologize to you!"
Li Daqi quickly waved his hand, "No! No! Everyone treats me very well."
Seeing the enthusiastic faces, Li Daqi raised his hands high and cupped his fists and said, "Thank you folks. Qinger has been taken care of by everyone. Daqi is very grateful. If Qinger achieves something in the future, he will definitely repay the village. Everyone, please go to the humble house and sit down!"
All the villagers applauded and surrounded Li Yanqing and his son and walked towards their new home. As soon as Li Yanqing reached the door of the house, Dahei rushed up wagging his tail, threw the little master down at once, and was so excited that he slapped him on the face. Licking, everyone laughed and followed Li Daqi into the courtyard, which was immediately packed to the brim.
Mrs. Hu brought her daughter-in-law to help, and made tea and water for everyone. Li Yanqing also opened the package, and distributed the candies and snacks, pine nuts, and melon seeds bought in the county to everyone. For the children, everyone laughed and laughed, and even the two families competed to get married with Li Daqi, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.
After a commotion for an hour, the talents in the village gradually dispersed. Hu Sheng patted Li Daqi's shoulder heavily and said with a smile, "Having such a son is really something to be proud of!"
Li Daqi's eyes were red, and he wiped away his tears and said, "If Yunniang is still here, she would be so happy."
Aunt Hu clapped her hands next to her, "Daqi, you reminded me. Your father-in-law came this morning, but you were not there. He asked you to take Qing'er to his place sometime. They want Qing'er!"
Li Daqi's face was a bit gloomy. He still remembers how his father-in-law treated his father and son at the beginning. Now that Qing'er has become a little promising, he thinks of his grandson.
Hu Sheng persuaded him: "After all, they are also a big family. It is very rare for them to take the initiative to bow their heads. Besides, Qing'er should also sweep his mother's grave, right? It is for Qing'er's mother's sake that enemies should be resolved rather than knotted." , don’t take things from the past to heart.”
Li Daqi nodded, "You're right, they are Qing'er's grandfather after all, I'll send a message later, and I'll take Qing'er to pay them New Year's greetings on the second day of the new year."
