Cheng Miaomiao can tell this story to people a hundred times.

She moved her feet, came close to Mrs. Yu, raised her head, her eyes flickered, and said sincerely: "Do you know the story of waiting for a rabbit? My mother said that you are a scholar, you must know it, right?"

After saying that, before she could respond, he said with a small mouth: "I just found out today! After we found out, we found a tree stump on the mountain and squatted down. Unexpectedly, a rabbit actually bumped into it. It was true what the book said

It’s all true.”

Cheng Miaomiao sighed sincerely: "Although this rabbit is stupid, it tastes good. You must try it!"

Madam Yu: “…”

I have never seen a child so eloquent.

She hadn't said a single word yet, but the child started talking so much that she couldn't even speak. No matter how unkind she was, she couldn't be cold to such a half-year-old child.

.

The Zheng family has a very strict family tradition. Even though Mrs. Yu and Zheng Tongsheng are the only ones left in the family now, they still abide by the rules.

Under this kind of teaching, Zheng Tongsheng has been steady and reserved since he was a child. Children from relatives at home also find their home dull and dare not speak when they come here. When they see such a lively dumpling, they both pause slightly.

Zheng Tongsheng thought the little girl in front of him was very interesting.

Madam Yu only thought she was noisy.

"Thank you, grandma, for me. You don't have to give it to us anymore. We won't be able to finish it. You can just keep it for yourself."

After saying that, she poured the rabbit meat from the bowl onto the plate.

He got up and went to the room next to him to get a red apple and handed it to her. Cheng Miaomiao was holding the bowl in one hand and the apple in the other.

He raised his face and looked at her with his clear black and white eyes. Although this aunt always looked serious and fierce with a stern face, she was actually very kind and not what she seemed at all.

Cheng Miaomiao said happily: "Thank you, aunt! You and your brother must eat meat, it's really delicious!"

He seemed to be a very well-behaved child. Madam Yu felt relieved and said the words that elders all over the world would say to younger ones. She politely said: "You can come over to play again next time."

Even if Ji Huai is standing here, he will know that these words are just casual remarks.

These are just polite words for adults.

But the one staying here now is Cheng Miaomiao. When she heard Madam Yu's enthusiastic invitation, her eyes instantly lit up.

This, this is the first time someone has invited her to play at home!

She is an honest child, and since someone invites you warmly, she will never take the words as polite words.

Cheng Miaomiao glanced at the sky outside and said happily: "I'll come tomorrow!"

Madam Yu: “…”

Madam Yu frowned, she didn't really want to come, did she?

·

After returning home, Cheng Miaomiao happily announced the news to her parents.

——She is going to visit Aunt Yu’s house tomorrow!

Ye Ning was stunned for a while after hearing this. She had relatively little contact with Madam Yu, but she also knew that she was a difficult person to get along with. When she first moved here, she came to say hello, but she ignored her.

How come you turn into a good person with a cold face and a warm heart when you come to your daughter?

She looked at Cheng Lin, wanting to confirm the authenticity of Miaomiao's words from him.

Cheng Lin also didn't expect that Mrs. Yu's image in his daughter's eyes would be like this.

In his early years, when he was still young, Mrs. Yu was not as serious as she is now. People in the village praised her for being a scholar, gentle and polite.

But ever since Zheng Xiucai died of drowning on the way to take the exam, Mrs. Yu began to become gloomy and unkind.

After that, she devoted all her attention to her son Zheng Bai and treated him very harshly. She did not let him play with the children in the village since he was a child. She only let him stay at home to study and practice calligraphy, so that he could become a scholar like his father.

Gradually, people in the village did not like to associate with Mrs. Yu.

Some children even called her an old witch behind her back.

Cheng Lin thought for a while, racked his brains and said: "Sister-in-law Yu is actually quite a nice person. I have never seen her beat or scold a child in these years."

Because all the children unilaterally avoided her.

As he said that, he lowered his head and looked at Cheng Miaomiao, and saw that her eyes were sparkling, her expectation was written on the left side of her face, and she wanted to go to her on the right side. She was so well-behaved that it was impossible to refuse her.

"It's not impossible to go, but you can't disturb your brother from studying."

Zheng Tongsheng should take the exam this year.

Cheng Lin pulled the matter out of his mind and emphasized: "Brother is going to take the scholar exam this year, so don't bother others when you go to play."

Cheng Miaomiao immediately promised: "I'm super good!"

After hearing this, Ye Ning had no choice but to put away her worries and said, "I happened to pick some peaches today. You can bring a few over tomorrow as a thank you for the apples."

Human feelings come from time to time.

Ye Ning still believed in the common vision between father and daughter, so she said nothing more.

Cheng Miaomiao was extremely happy. When she woke up the next day, she went to Zeng's house to read for a while and then completed the spot check. Then she talked about the invitation she was invited to play. Zeng Ziji was deeply impressed by Mrs. Yu's dark face.

Refuse to follow.

In the end, only Ji Huai was willing to go with her.

Cheng Miaomiao held a few washed peaches in her hands, and soon arrived in front of Zheng's house with a whistling breeze as she walked.

At a glance, he saw Zheng Bai chopping firewood in the yard.

Even if he had passed the examination as a Tongsheng, there would be no way to change the current situation of poverty in his family for the time being. When his father had just passed the examination as a Scholar, the family's situation was getting better, but it returned to the original state as soon as he died.

The academy only has one holiday per month, which only lasts for three days in total, so the round trip is already very time-consuming.

So he saves two or three months of leave and uses it together so that he can help the family with more work when he comes back.

Cheng Miaomiao stood at the door and waved hello: "Brother Zheng, we are here to play!"

She jumped into the yard and opened her mouth to boast: "It was dark yesterday and I couldn't see clearly. Now I see that your yard is so clean and tidy!"

Zheng Bai: “??”

Looking at the two half-year-old children in front of him, Zheng Bai was still a little dazed.

My first reaction was, is there such a good-looking child in the village?

Then I thought, did she really come to play?

By the time he reacted, there were already many peaches stuffed into his hand. Cheng Miaomiao looked around and saw no one, then said: "Brother, where is Aunt Yu?"

Zheng Bai didn't expect that she actually came to find his mother.

His mood was a little complicated and he said, "Mom, she went to pick vegetables in the vegetable field. You guys go inside and sit for a while."

Cheng Miaomiao nodded after hearing what he said and followed him into the house.

The main hall of the Zheng family is no different from ordinary houses in the village, except that there are three tablets placed in the niche directly above the middle, which are the tablets of Zheng Xiucai and his parents.

Zheng Bai invited them to sit down and poured each of them a glass of water.

Ji Huai thanked him lightly.

When Cheng Miaomiao saw him, she remembered that her mother-in-law had said that his father was a scholar. He blinked and asked curiously: "Brother, is it easy for a young student to take the exam? Is it easy for a scholar to take the exam? Why can't I take the exam?"
