The Chang family in Quyuan Village.

Chang Pingning was quite embarrassed when her mother and sister-in-law looked at her belly. After all, what she and Guo Bomo did in their own house was not easy to bring to light.

Seeing his daughter's shy look, He Guangfen said understandingly: "Okay, okay, that's what Mom asked me. She's been married for a few months, and she's still so embarrassed?" After a pause, "Is your period coming? "

"Mom!" Chang Pingning called He Guangfen with some dissatisfaction, wanting her to stop talking, "Not so fast. Bomo often goes to sea..."

After saying it, Chang Pingning vaguely felt that he seemed to blame Guo Bomo for the matter?

But Guo Bomo in the yard wasn't doing much better.

His eldest uncle Chang Ping'an was very dissatisfied with his frequent trips to sea. He felt that Guo Bomo did not need to go to sea and taking over Chang Pingning's stall at the port was enough for them to live.

Moreover, Chang Pingan has recently heard about some ways to make money in Guojia Village. Every household in the village can get a certain amount of money.He even advised Guo Bomo not to take such a big risk by going overseas, as he could still make money by staying.

"If you plan to come back and stay, I will roast the oysters in another place. It will be the same if you take over your Guo's stall." Chang Ping'an patted Guo Bomo on the shoulder and said.

Guo Bomo knew that his uncle's words were well-intentioned, but he had his own setbacks in his heart: "Thank you for your understanding, uncle. But the stall at the port belongs to Ningning, and my second brother is just a helper there.

"The money our village makes depends on Ning Ning and the Liu family. Under such circumstances, it is really inappropriate for me to stay in the village and take advantage of Ning Ning." Guo Bomo said, lowering his head in embarrassment.

After Chang Pingan knew Guo Bomo's thoughts, he felt that the brother-in-law in front of him was much more reliable. He patted Guo Bomo's shoulder with approval and pulled his brother-in-law into the house to warm up.

The topic in the room shifted from whether Chang Pingning was healthy to Chang Pingyan.

He Guangfen looked at He Jiaojiao in the room. The eldest son's family was about to have a child; the second daughter could make money now, and the Guo family's son-in-law seemed to be a considerate person; now only the third daughter was left, and she would be old in a few years. It's okay to meet earlier, so that the marriage of the younger daughter can be settled as soon as possible.

"You just said Sister Ning, why did it involve me again?" Chang Pingyan was young and probably knew that getting married was something that would make girls shy. She made a face at them and turned away, unwilling to follow them. Speech.

He Jiaojiao looked at her amused mother-in-law and Chang Pingning, and suggested, "Mom, find someone like my second brother-in-law who is considerate and can make money."

After hearing this, He Guangfen was so happy that he couldn't help but say, "Your demands are not low. It would be great if some of Ningning's blessings could be given to Yanyan."

The villagers in Yuan Village make a living by farming, and few do business.Chang Pingning's fortune in making money after marrying to Guojiacun was not something Chang's mother could have known from the beginning.

Faced with the compliments from her mother and sister-in-law, Chang Pingning kept saying "no".

"You are trying to flatter me." Chang Pingning smiled. She knew in her heart that she could make money thanks to the Liu family.

Otherwise, how could a stall at the port and the enclosure of land on the beach by Guojiacun, these two profitable sources of income, be safe and sound without any trouble from the government officials?However, telling these worries to your parents-in-law has no other effect besides making them worry.

Chang Pingning looked at her younger sister: "Yan, don't listen to these two people's nonsense. Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, you'd better find a scholar in the future. If one day he reaches high school and you become the first lady, we will all depend on you. ." "Humph, it's better for me to take the top exam!" Chang Pingyan raised his head and didn't care.

Chang Pingyan was very interested in reading when she was young. By relying on her own listening, she won the favor of the teacher at Quyuan Village School. She was able to recognize words for a few more years than other girls in the village, and could even memorize a few articles. article.

During the same period, she made much better progress than the brat in the village who was forced to go to school.Therefore, Chang Pingyan felt a little disdainful of the scholars in the village, feeling that they had wasted the opportunity to study at home.

In addition, Chang Pingyan saw with her own eyes that Dong Xiuyuan, a scholar whom her sister had a crush on before, was so fussy over a few straw knitted baubles that she even asked her to knit something exactly the same and return it.

After that, Chang Pingyan felt that the scholars in the village were ridiculously pedantic, even inferior to herself.

Although Chang Pingning could see that the younger sister disliked scholars, he thought it was just the childish nature of the younger sister.After all, her sister, when she went to the school to eavesdrop on her studies a few years ago, she was praised by the school teacher, and she felt frustrated that she could not continue studying.

I also asked her as an elder sister, "Why can't female children take the merit examination?" However, I don't seem to have heard Chang Pingyan ask this question in the past few years.

Chang Pingning took his sister's guess and changed it to a more euphemistic way: "If you don't like the scholars in the village, ask your mother to find a matchmaker to show you the ones in other villages." Then he thought of something and quickly added.

"But the family should carefully examine that person's knowledge, so as not to be tricked." Chang Pingning reminded seriously, "There is a school in Guojiacun. In order to study, he went to be a son-in-law, but ended up studying for a lifetime. What? None of them have passed the exam. Our family, Yanyan, must not be deceived by this kind of 'fake scholar'."

Chang Pingning was worried that Chang Pingyan would meet a scholar like "Mr. You".

He Guangfen was stunned when he heard that a son-in-law who wanted to recruit a son-in-law, in addition to leaving his family name, also had to be a labor force and the backbone of the family.Ning Ning said that this scholar, who has been studying all his life, probably avoided many places that needed his efforts, and the money he spent on studying might have been the money of the family he married into.

After He Jiaojiao heard this, she felt that such a scholar wasted the support of her family. She gently touched her belly with her hand and prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that her son could learn to read so that she and Chang Ping'an would have less to worry about.

Only Chang Pingyan was a little curious after hearing her sister talk about the school in Guojiacun: "Sister Ningning, does the school in your village recently accept students without having to submit to the school? And girls can also go?"

Chang Pingning was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Meng Xia's reputation for not restraining herself would spread to her natal family.But Meng Xia is just teaching everyone how to read. If Chang Pingyan wanted to go, he might not learn anything useful.

Thinking of this, Chang Pingning smiled at Chang Pingyan: "There is a gentleman who doesn't practice discipline, but he doesn't teach everything..."

"Ning Ning, is it a female gentleman who cultivates without restraint?" He Guangfen's tone suddenly became cold.

Chang Pingning didn't react for a while, and nodded to her mother with a smile: "That's right, mother. Her name is Meng Xia, she..."

"Okay, don't mention that school." He Guangfen looked solemn.

"Mom." Chang Pingyan expressed her dissatisfaction by acting coquettishly.

"Yanyan, please stop asking." He Guangfen looked unwilling to discuss this topic. (End of chapter)
