Chapter 123 Can the child’s surname be Bai?

In the end, Bai Ruozhu hugged Deng Deng, who was full and asleep, and followed her parents, eldest brother and second brother to the old house. She was originally embarrassed to make such a big move, but the second brother said: "It's time for the whole family to go see grandpa. Grandma."

She thought about it, if only the second brother didn't go, the old man would definitely say that he was arrogant. She was afraid that if her mother didn't go, the old man would have to find something wrong, so it was better for the whole family to go.

Bai Zehao's idea was more direct, "We are going to get scolded anyway, so it will be fun if we all go together." His words made the whole family laugh.

Fang Guizhi and Zhou Deshun's wife took the opportunity to say goodbye. Lin Ping'er brought a lot of wedding eggs to them, saying that no one would be without them to help. After a while, the two of them gave in and left with the wedding eggs. .

Bai Ruozhu's family walked towards the old house, feeling quite like they were going to die. There were people watching the fun along the way, and they all said hello to Bai Yihong and Bai Zepei, and then praised the little Deng Deng for growing up well.

Bai Ruozhu secretly glanced at her eldest brother. Generally, the eldest son in the family is the most outstanding, and the eldest son also inherits the family business. However, there has been a change in her family. The eldest brother is the top among the young people in the village, so of course he is outstanding. But now that the second brother has passed the civil service examination, he has become a scholar at such a young age, and he is also the first in the child examination, which has suddenly eclipsed the eldest brother's glory.

Fortunately, the eldest brother is still working diligently and down-to-earth, and there is no change at all. Even though passers-by now exaggerate the efforts of the second brother, the eldest brother still has a proud smile on his face, without any embarrassment or dissatisfaction at all.

Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief. Look, this is called a good attitude. If everyone is like Bai Yibo, who's family can be harmonious?

But she also feels a little sorry for her eldest brother. In fact, in her memory, her eldest brother is not bad at studying. Maybe he is not as bad as his second brother. But as long as he persists in studying, even if he fails the quiz this year, he will definitely be fine in three years. No. Will be like Bai Yibo who has been taking exams for decades.

It’s just that before the family was separated, there was too much work in the fields. The family had to provide for Bai Yibo and the old man. It would be too difficult to support two more scholars. Besides, Bai Zehao was also studying hard. Who would do the work in the fields? What does the family eat?

In addition, the old lady was very stingy and didn't want Bai Zehao and Bai Zepei to continue studying. Bai Zehao gritted his teeth and said that he couldn't study any more and concentrated on working in the fields. He said that he was strong enough to do the work of two people and asked his brother to study hard. Bar.

The second brother has been keeping quiet, but he studies harder because of this. It seems that he is not studying just for himself, but also carries the dream of his eldest brother.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu felt a little wet in her eyes. It was not an easy journey for her two brothers. She really felt sorry for them.

"Brother, our family's life is getting better. Do you want to take the exam for a meritorious service?" While her father and second brother were chatting with the villagers, Bai Ruozhu approached her eldest brother and asked in a low voice.

Bai Zehao looked at his sister in surprise, and then smiled bitterly, "I have lost all these years, what else can I take an exam for?"

"Silly brother, you can study at any time, as long as you don't take the test of fame, it's better to have more knowledge around you. If you take the test of being a child student or a scholar, it will be easier to travel outside in the future." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

Bai Zehao was moved by his sister's words of "get more knowledge around you". In his opinion, the reason why his sister is so smart and capable is that she loves reading and using her brain more.

"Okay, brother, I will listen to you and study hard when you have time. Don't expect to take the exam for fame. It's better to learn more knowledge." Bai Zehao made up his mind and nodded heavily.

Bai Ruozhu felt that her eldest brother was calm and careful, and he might be able to become a child student in the next exam, so he encouraged Bai Zehao again.

The family continued to walk forward, but no one noticed that Bai Zehao's eyes were brighter. He seemed to see a better future, or he could finally redeem his past regrets and try his best.

Finally, the family arrived at the door of the old house and knocked on the door.

"Dad, Ruozhu has come to see you with Dengdeng." There were many people watching from behind. Bai Yihong was afraid that the old man would lose his temper, so he had to knock on the door and loudly explain his purpose.

Unexpectedly, after knocking on the door for a long time, no one in the yard answered, and no one came to open the door.

"What is this old man of the Bai family doing? Isn't he at home? Is there no one at home? His great-grandson came to see him. Is he out of his mind with joy?" Someone said jokingly, and many people laughed along with him. stand up.

Then some people's eyes moved to the "calligraphy treasures" near the old house that were painted in lighter colors or painted into black pimples. In fact, more people want to see what Bai Yibo's expression will be when he faces his second brother's family again.

Probably the old man heard people watching outside and shouted in the main room: "Doesn't anyone in the yard know how to open the door? I'm old and deaf, are you old too?"

A series of footsteps followed, and the door of the old house opened. It was Bai Ruolan who opened the door. She dryly called her second uncle and second aunt, and then trotted into the house, as if she was reluctant.

Bai Ruozhu secretly pouted, her cousin was too petty, with so many people watching at the door, she should be more generous even if she was pretending. Also, why are you running away? What you know is that she doesn’t like the second wife and her family, but those who don’t know think she did something wrong and ran away.

Bai Ruozhu cursed, her father and two brothers had already entered the door first, then strode to the door of the main room and saluted the old man.

Lin Ping'er pulled Bai Ruozhu and told her not to worry, and Bai Ruozhu gave her mother a relaxing smile.

"Why are you running? You don't know how to close the courtyard door? How old are you!" The old man yelled in a low voice. This sentence was directed at Bai Ruolan who ran away. Bai Ruolan felt that she was being scolded in public and started crying.

The old man became even more angry when he saw it. Wang hurriedly pushed Bai Ruolan and told her to close the door quickly so as not to make the old man even more unhappy. In the end, Bai Ruolan covered her face and cried, running to the door and closing the courtyard door under the surprised eyes of people outside.

Bai Ruozhu and her mother looked at each other and saw the speechlessness in the other's eyes. Is it necessary to be so sad? As if she wished the whole village knew how pitiful she was, she was so, so, so petty!

Bai Ruozhu retracted her thoughts, stepped forward with Deng Deng in her arms, blessed the old man, and said, "My granddaughter Ruozhu brought her son Bai Chengtai to pay homage to grandpa."

The old man lost his temper with Bai Yihong before and didn't even remember to ask Mr. Li what his name was for Deng Deng. After hearing what Bai Ruozhu said, he finally knew the child's name, but because of this, he felt even more uncomfortable.

But he couldn't fault the name, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Mr. Li. He couldn't afford to offend the county magistrate, and he heard that he might be promoted.

So, he thought for a while and asked, "Can this child be named Bai casually?"
