The Record of Righteousness

In early autumn, the rain and fog are intermittent.

The grass and trees after the autumn rain are emerald green.

They are dripping with tender juice like emeralds.

The chirping of birds can be heard from the rain and fog in the woods.

The path in the field is slightly muddy, and the air is very fresh.

The two children each carry their mothers' mending schoolbags.

They chatted with each other in the mud.

The round-faced and slightly shorter child grinned and asked:

"Wang Qing, I heard from my father that your brother is going to get married in the next few days?"

The child walking in front turned around.

His eyes rolled around, and he joked in confusion:

"Hey, you, why do you want to know everything? Do you want to drink?"

Niu Er laughed foolishly.

He took two quick steps and hooked Wang Qing's shoulder, saying:

"How old am I? I don't want to drink. That wine is not good. I just want to eat something good..."

After a pause, he showed a lewd smile again and said:

"Take a look at the beauty of the bride, hehe..."

Niu Er had heard that Wang Qing's sister-in-law was a beauty.

How could he let go of such a good opportunity to see her more.

Wang Qing immediately frowned when he heard it.

A surge of anger rose in his heart.

He grabbed Niu Er, who was still smiling, and raised his fist in front of Niu Er coldly.

He said in a deep voice:

"Niu Er, this is the first and last time. If you tease my sister-in-law again, I will beat you into a pig's head."

Niu Er's smile froze. He wanted to get angry, but he just looked at Wang Qing's gloomy face.

Maybe he was really angry and couldn't joke anymore, so he immediately apologized with a smile:

"You, you are like this just because I made a joke, can we still be brothers?"

Wang Qing heard this and let go of his hand, letting Niu Er straighten his wrinkled clothes.

Looking at him patting his clothes, he said seriously:

"You joked too much.

My sister-in-law lost her parents when she was young, and her life was miserable.

She was raised by my parents, so she is still my sister.

And she is my brother's wife.

Aren't you hitting my mother by saying this?"

Niu Er resumed his playful smile and put his hand on Wang Qing's shoulder:

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I will never mention it again, but don't forget to invite my family to the wedding on your brother's wedding day."

Wang Qing punched him lightly on the chest and laughed and scolded:

"You bastard, you still say you don't drink."

Niu Er defended:

"I really don't drink, just eat something else, let me see the world, I will have experience when I get married in the future."

"Hahaha, don't worry, let alone our friendship, just talk about the friendship between your father and my father, you have to invite your family to the wedding, right?"

...

Three earthen houses surrounded a small earthen wall courtyard with a fence in the middle.

Pushing open the small fence door, there is a big locust tree in the middle of the courtyard.

The simple small courtyard is a little shabby but clean.

In Wang Qing's eyes, it is still so harmonious.

Wang Laoshi is taking care of the family's surplus food in the west room.

Looking at these golden wheats with tempting fragrance.

When he thought about handing over most of it, his heart was like bleeding.

Their family is the tenant of Li Yuanwai, a wealthy family in Qingping County, Li Dashanren.

Only 60% of the annual harvest was paid.

Compared with other landlords, Mr. Li was particularly generous.

Although most of the grain had to be paid, the remaining grain plus the two acres of thin land at home were enough to make a living.

The remaining grain could be taken to the county to exchange for some property and firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Holding the wheat over and over again, Wang Laoshi sucked its fragrance.

In the end, he could only sigh.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Wang Laoshi gently put down the wheat in his hand, went out of the house and asked:

"How is your study in the private school in recent days?"

Hearing this, Wang Qing put down the bag on his shoulder and said:

"Same as usual."

Since going to the private school, his father would ask about his studies every two days, and Wang Qing had long been accustomed to it.

"What do you mean by same as usual?"

Wang Laoshi asked.

"Please rest assured, my family can afford to send me to a private school. I will study hard and will not play around and miss out on learning. Besides, I can read and write now."

"Very good, very good, I can read and write now.

Your father can't read a single word.

Your life will be a tenant farmer.

My child is more promising than me. He should study hard and pass the imperial examination in the future to make my Wang family proud!"

Wang Laoshi praised repeatedly.

"In the future, my Wang family will have a number one scholar!"

Wang Laoshi once asked Liu Banxian at the east end of the village to tell his fortune.

At that time, Liu Banxian was silent for a long time before he spoke.

This child is destined to be rich and powerful, second to none. If he can have the opportunity to read and write, he will win the championship in the future.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't say it, but Wang Laoshi was shocked when he said it.

Second to none? !

Oh my god, the Wang family's grave is really full of smoke.

It's really the ancestors who made such a person appear in my Wang family!

Wang Laoshi was so happy that he was overwhelmed and smiled all day long.

He looked at his second son and liked him so much that he wanted Wang Qing to go to a private school.

For a tenant family, the cost of studying in a private school is not low.

The family didn't have enough money, so Wang Laoshi went to all the relatives.

But those relatives were all tenants, and he couldn't borrow a penny.

In the end, I don’t know where the money came from, but I paid all the money to Mr. Cui in the private school in one go.
