Chapter 1355

Bai Shan stayed for lunch and drank a cup of tea with his husband before leaving.

Today is the new year's Eve. The evening food must have been used early, that is, there was no need for them to be busy at home, and they didn't come back late, so Mr. Zhuang didn't keep them much. He took people to the door to see them leave and turned back.

In a few days, the grandchildren became familiar with Mr. Zhuang again. They had nothing to do under the new year's festival, so they nestled together in the study with their grandfather.

In fact, Mr. Zhuang didn't bother them even if he played by himself. He took a book and sat in a chair drowsy.

Zhuang Dalang came in, found an excuse to send out the three children, and then lifted the teapot from the stove to make tea for his father.

Mr. Zhuang narrowed for a while and was awakened by the smell of tea. He looked up at his son, sat down and asked, "what's the matter?"

Zhuang Dalang hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth, "Dad, Ji'an is old and wants to kiss."

Mr. Zhuang nodded. "It's not small. You can prepare."

Zhuang Dalang opened his mouth, and the next words were easy to say. He sat down at the next head, looked at his father and said, "what do you think of Zhou man?"

Mr. Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "man Bao is naturally excellent, but they are not suitable."

Zhuang Dalang frowned slightly. Mr. Zhuang said, "her marriage has been settled. It should be settled soon."

Zhuang Dalang felt some loss at the bottom of his heart when he heard the speech, but he smiled and asked, "whose family has such a blessing?"

Mr. Zhuang said, "it's her younger martial brother Bai Shan."

Zhuang Dalang was slightly surprised. The family background of the two families was a little poor. How could the Bai family be willing?

He looked at his father. "Did his father do it?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "if the two families are interested, I can be the matchmaker. This has become a good story."

Zhuang Dalang understood that the two families intended to talk about it by themselves.

Mr. Zhuang took a drink from his tea cup and said, "I've seen it. Ji'an's study is average, but it's good to study for a few more years. It's also good to take the math test."

If you do well, you can be promoted to the master book, which is much better than being an accountant.

Now Zhuang Dalang's Zhangjia is the home of Master Zhang's book.

Zhuang Dalang said: "Luojiang county's master book for 20 years is from Zhangjia. Dad, there is no one behind us. Ji An's entry into officialdom can't lose him, but the disadvantages may all fall on him."

That's not what I said. People always have some wild hopes. How can they hesitate because of what hasn't happened?

But Mr. Zhuang opened his mouth and still didn't tell the truth. When Zhuang Ji'an was just born, he had not received master Bai to open a school in Qili Village at that time, so his father and son had a lot of quarrels.

When he was a teenager, he did not mention this truth, but Zhuang Dalang obviously had his own understanding.

Just as Zhuang Dalang couldn't understand him, he couldn't understand his son's thoughts for a time.

But then his old wife told him that everyone is different. He can't force his son to be the same as him. If he can't convince him, he should learn to let him go.

I live my life by myself.

Mr. Zhuang knows that he has experienced a lot from urination, and stability is his biggest pursuit.

When Mr. Zhuang's quota was occupied by Chen Fulin, Zhuang Dalang was too young to be more than three years old. Even if he remembered early, he didn't remember much. He only knew that he was very happy every day. His mother liked to lead him out of the alley. When he came back, he would buy him a bunch of candied haws at the entrance of the alley.

That should be the most stable period in his memory.

It was the Chinese New Year that Mr. Zhuang was expelled from the government school. The children who used to play with him in the alley didn't like to play with him anymore, so they reached out to push him and beat him.

However, such a day was also very short. They returned home soon, but they were not stable for long. Mr. Zhuang was very confident in himself, so he sold off the rest of his family's land and took his wife and children to Beijing for an examination.

That time, they went with the idea of staying in the capital.

Mr. Zhuang told his wife at that time that even if he really failed the exam, he would find a job in the capital and stay.

At that time, the family were very confident, including Zhuang Dalang, who was already a little sensible, and felt that his father would be able.

As a result, they left the capital in a more embarrassed attitude.

Mr. Zhuang didn't take them home. Chen Fulin's foundation was too close to mianzhou. Their return was tantamount to entering the urn automatically.

But their family's savings were almost spent in the capital. Mr. Zhuang was hit one after another and fell ill on the road.

During those difficult days, let alone Zhuang Dalang, Mr. Zhuang will never forget. He always felt that the reason why his wife died early had a lot to do with that time.

Obviously, Zhuang Dalang thinks so.

At that time, Zhuang Dalang was only over five years old. Mr. Zhuang fell ill. The three members of the family couldn't afford to rent a house. They had to settle down temporarily in the broken temple.

Zhuang's mother went out to pick up the laundry every day. The money she earned was not only to maintain the food of the family of three, but also to buy medicine for Mr. Zhuang.

After the family survived the most difficult days, Mr. Zhuang was too thin to hang his clothes, and then went to make an accounting room for people.

Life was getting better and better. After two years of stability, Mr. Zhuang wanted to make a comeback, so he quit his job as an accountant.

He was like that at that time. It was very difficult to continue the examination or the examiner. He could only be an aide to officials. In the future, someone might recommend him to an official, even if he did not enter an official, he could wash away his grievances.

It is impossible to say that Mr. Zhuang has no resentment in his heart.

But it's good that he didn't get involved with officials. Once he got involved with officials, his luck seemed to be very poor. He worked as an aide to two officials. At the last, he even helped people from the county magistrate to the position of Sima. As a result, his ideas were at odds halfway, and he was expelled again.

The dealer's life is sad again.

In Zhuang Dalang's memory, his life was unstable from the time he remembered to the age of 14. Even when his father seemed to be highly valued as an aide, he was always excluded in private.

Especially after his father's past was publicized by no one.

In school, the eldest son of the boy whose father was loyal looked at him with arrogance. He didn't betray others at all. He directly said to his classmates in front of him, "his father was expelled from the government school because of his bad conduct. It is said that he also copied the poems of his classmates in the capital. If someone hadn't recommended him, my father would never use such a person, but he was just doing chores, Just give them a bowl of rice. "

Zhuang Dalang didn't tell his parents about these things, but within half a month, Mr. Zhuang still knew.

After his resignation, he left again with his wife and children. After that time, Mr. Zhuang no longer wanted to be an aide, but returned home with his wife and children and began to take some jobs as a gentleman.

Looking back on his whole childhood and adolescence, Zhuang Dalang felt that except for the less obvious time in his childhood, he had the most stable and happy two years when his father worked as an accountant.

So after returning home, he refused his father's proposal to study and insisted on making an accounting room for people.

He felt that if there is no foundation, don't touch officialdom.

A small fortune is safe. It's OK to live like this.
