Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 311 Shen Huairen was beaten

As Zhu Danian listened to them, he sighed in his heart and thought that it was better to hunt by himself. Although it was dangerous, it didn't involve so many twists and turns. He would work hard but still not get paid in the end.

At this time, Shen Shuzhuan came over slowly, leaning on a wooden stick: "I heard you talking in the house, so I came over to chat."

"Okay, you're bored staying in the room alone." Huang Guihua went back to the room and brought a bench over. "Sit here, it's cool in the shade. Where's Zhaodi? He's not at home."

He thanked me and sat down on the small stool: "I went up the mountain to collect firewood."

Ji Wenhe handed him a cucumber: "Uncle Zhuan, have one."

"Hey." Shen Shuzhuang took it with a smile, "There are quite a few good leaders in town who are looking for jobs, but you have to go there early after you finish your farm work at home. If you go too late, they won't want you anymore."

Shen Erniu agreed: "Yes, after finishing the farm work at home, we will go as early as possible. By the time Rongshan's house is built, it will probably be October."

"I don't think it will take that long, maybe the end of September." Zhu Danian looked down at his injured arm. If it were intact, he would be able to come and help.

After eating the cucumber, Ji Wenhe said hello and went to the mountain to help.

They were having a conversation and it was boring to just stay there.

Shen Rongshan heard footsteps behind him and looked back: "Wen He, why are you here again?"

"They are chatting over there. I am not very interested. Come and help you." He stretched out his hand, "Give me the axe, I will chop it."

"Then be careful."

"Do not worry."

He turned and walked up the mountain, carrying down the section of the tree.

The chopped off twigs and leaves were thrown into a pile, and the tree stumps were carried back for Shen Wenshan to deal with.

"sister in law."

Ji Wenhe raised his head and looked at the person in surprise: "Huairen, why did you come up the mountain?"

"I saw you coming up, and was curious about what you were doing, so I followed you."

"Is this something you can be curious about? The mountains are so dangerous. What if you don't keep up with me and get lost? If your parents knew, they would eat me."

Shen Huairen waved the branch in his hand: "My parents don't eat people. My mother doesn't know I went up the mountain."

She put one hand on her waist and said helplessly, "I think you really don't learn your lesson. You were almost caught by human traffickers last time. This time you dare to go up the mountain by yourself. If you encounter wild wolves and wild boars, you won't be able to run away with your weak arms and legs."

"I think I'll have to talk to your mother when I get home and have her catch you and give you a good beating, otherwise you won't learn your lesson."

Shen Rongshan came down from above and stared at him coldly: "Go home, and don't run to the mountains anymore."

"I, I'm going back now, sister-in-law, please don't tell my mother."

Shen Huairen was very afraid of him, so he turned around and ran down the mountain quickly.

"No, I have to talk to Aunt He later. It's so annoying. She doesn't listen at all. She always blames us when something goes wrong."

Ji Wenhe looked at the figure running down the mountain and was furious.

Sometimes he is very cute, and sometimes he is very annoying, leaving you helpless.

"I'll go talk to Aunt He and have him give me a good beating." Shen Rongshan walked over to her carrying the tree stump. "Wen He, come down the mountain with me. I'm afraid you'll get scared if I leave you here alone."

"Row."

He threw the axe to the ground, picked up a pile of chopped branches and walked ahead.

"Brother Shen, Aunt He told me before that the three children would not take the examination for Tongsheng because they were afraid that they would lose face if they failed."

"I think it's better to let the children try. How can they know if they won't pass if they don't try? Besides, is face so important?"

"Wen He, you don't know that Uncle Qingyang cares a lot about face. My father told me that when he passed the examination to become a scholar, everyone in the village said that he would be able to pass the imperial examination in the future."

"Later, I took the provincial examination, but failed. I came back devastated. My family tried to persuade me to take it again three years later, but unfortunately, I failed again."

"Some people started talking about him behind his back. He heard some unpleasant things and fainted from anger."

Ji Wenhe said: "So he didn't take the exam later. After he had a son, he taught him. He didn't expect that his son couldn't even pass the exam to become a scholar. He felt even more ashamed."

"But being able to pass the exam to become a scholar is very impressive. There are only a few farming families that can raise a scholar. I think those who talk about it behind your back are just jealous."

"If Uncle Qingyang hadn't been affected by these things and continued to prepare for the exam, he might have passed. He cares too much about what others think."

Shen Rongshan nodded: "At that time, his family members persuaded him to take the exam again, but he was not persuaded. It would be good if his three grandsons passed the exam. If they failed, he would be even more embarrassed. I am afraid he would stay at home and never go out again."

She said regretfully: "Even if I can't pass the exam to become a scholar, passing the exam to become a student is already very capable. It would be a pity not to take the exam after learning so much knowledge for so many years."

The students here have to take two examinations, the county examination and the prefectural examination.

Shen Qingyang was afraid that they wouldn't even be able to pass these two exams, and then some people would not only laugh at him, but would also laugh at their entire family.

Although farmers are simple, there are always some people who cannot stand others doing well and are too jealous.

"This is their family matter. We shouldn't interfere and you shouldn't say it in front of Aunt He." Shen Rongshan warned.

"Yeah, I know, I just asked about it before, but I didn't say it later."

The two men came to the foot of the mountain and heard a howling.

Looking in the direction of the voice, it was Shen Huairen.

Lying on the table in the yard, Shen Qingyang took a small wooden stick and hit him hard on the butt.

Very hard, otherwise he wouldn't have screamed so miserably.

He Yuxiang, Ma Shuangping, and his two brothers were standing nearby, and no one stepped forward to stop them.

"Ah! Grandpa, I won't dare to do that anymore. I won't run up the mountain again. I was wrong! Ah!"

Zhao Sanniang carried the child out of the house and stood at the door, looking behind her. She saw her coming over and said, "I was coaxing the child to sleep in the room when I suddenly heard a howl that scared us."

Fortunately, his son was not scared.

Ji Wenhe explained: "I just went to the mountain to help, and Shen Huairen followed me. I guess his family saw us, so when they came back, they caught him and beat him up."

"Tsk, this kid is really brave. If he doesn't keep up and gets lost in the mountains, where will his family find him? He deserves to be beaten!"

Shen Huairen was too naughty. He would do whatever he was told not to do. He was beaten by his mother every other day, but he just wouldn't listen.

She coaxed the child in her arms: "The mountain is too dangerous, don't run to the mountain, let them go, they are brave and not afraid of snakes."

"We're not deep in the mountains. We're just halfway up the mountain." Ji Wenhe teased the child, "Aunt Zhao, I'm going to go back and get busy."

"Hey." Zhao Sanniang nodded and carried the child into the house.

After working until the evening, Shen Yuanshan prepared dinner at home and called them back.

"Sister-in-law, we've finished a can of pickles."

"There are four more jars under the cupboard. Tell me when there's one left and I'm pickling it." He remembered something and said, "There's one with a bowl on top and no chili in it. I'll give it to Uncle Da Nian in a few days. Don't take the wrong one."
