Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Chapter 146 New Year's Eve

"The patriarch joked, but I didn't suffer any grievances." Chu Zhuang smiled and said lightly.

The wronged person was long gone, and it was obviously too late for Chu Xiande to say these things at this time.

As for the members of the Chu family, Chu Zhuang has no interest in dealing with them in the future.

Seeing Chu Zhuang's appearance, Chu Xiande's heart sank slightly, but he pursed his lips tightly considering Chu Zhuang's identity, and did not continue to say anything.

Chu Zhuang took the younger generation into the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Chu family.

Chu Xiande and Chu Chang stood outside looking at Chu Zhuang's tall and straight back.

"It's a pity!" Chu Xiande sighed slightly, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

I failed to lend a helping hand when the other party needed help, so that it is too late to make friends with the other party now! "Father, what's the pity?" Chu Chang looked at Chu Xiande and asked.

Chu Xiande glanced at Chu Chang, and said angrily: "What can be a pity, it's not a pity for Chu Zhuang. He is already a scholar at this age, and he might become a high-ranking official like his father in the future!"

"It's a pity that I couldn't win him over!" Chu Xiande shook his head, unwilling to say any more, and the joy of getting the position of patriarch was also diluted a little.

Chu Chang didn't take it seriously, he glanced at Chu Xiande and said: "Father, you think too far, right? I don't think there is anything to regret."

"What do you mean?" Chu Xiande looked at Chu Chang and asked.

"This Chu Zhuang doesn't deserve his father's attention, plus he has a powerful stepmother, I don't think Chu Zhuang can go far, and he might be a lifetime scholar in the future!" Chu Chang said with a cold snort .

Chu Xiande frowned, glanced at Chu Chang, slapped him on the head, and said with a cold snort: "Even if you are a scholar, you are pretty good. You are so old, why haven't you seen you come back from the exam?" ?”

"Father, I'm so old, you still hit me?!" Chu Chang covered his head and looked at Chu Xiande with some dissatisfaction.

"You are my son no matter how old you are, why can't I beat you anymore?!"

Chu Xiande knocked Chu Chang on the head a few more times until Chu Chang didn't dare to resist, so he took his hand back angrily.

Chu Zhuang didn't know what the father and son were muttering about him behind his back, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Sacrifice is a tedious and tedious task, Chu Zhuang didn't want to talk about it, so he suppressed his temper and cooperated one by one.

Originally, Chu Zhuang thought it would only take half a day to finish, but he was still naive. After the whole process was over, the sky was already getting dark.

Chu Zhuang was worried about Yunmengxi, and left in a hurry as soon as it was over.

Originally, there were still some people in the Chu family who wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Chu Zhuang, but seeing Chu Zhuang leave now, they could only secretly say that it was a pity.

As soon as Chu Zhuang came to the gate of Chu Xianren's house, he saw that everyone had almost left. Yun Mengxi was sitting alone under a big tree in the yard, holding the "Chu Zhuang" that he hadn't finished making yet. , squeezed intently.

"Chu Zhuang's nose is not that big, it should be smaller!"

As Yunmengxi said that, he took off the nose on the doll, pinched it a little smaller and glued it back on, looked at it seriously, and then showed an annoyed expression.

"It's still ugly!"

Yunmengxi had a bitter face. Seeing that Chuzhuang was so relaxed before, he thought it was very easy!

But I didn't expect it to be easy at all!

It's just that Yunmengxi was not discouraged, he was ready to make persistent efforts, he must create a cute and handsome Chu Zhuang!

Seeing Yunmengxi immersed in his own world, Chu Zhuang's anxious heart gradually calmed down. He walked over step by step and stood in front of Yunmengxi.

Yunmengxi felt a pair of familiar shoes in front of her, raised her head in surprise, looked at Chu Zhuang and said, "Chu Zhuang, you are here

! ”

"En." Chu Zhuang nodded, stretched out his right hand and put it in front of Yunmengxi.

Yunmengxi smiled and rolled her eyes, ignoring the plasticine doll in her hand, she casually put it into the purse hanging on her waist, and put her hand on Chu Zhuang's.

Now that there are real people, the dolls are immediately forgotten by Yunmengxi.

With a little force, Chu Zhuang pulled him up from the ground, patted his upturned buttocks lightly, and asked, "Would you like to sit on the ground?"

chilly? "

"It's not cold!" Yunmengxi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she grinned foolishly at Chu Zhuang.

It seemed that as long as he saw Chu Zhuang, it would be the happiest thing in the whole world for him.

"Little fool." Seeing Yunmengxi like this, Chu Zhuang felt a little sour in his heart, he clenched his hand tightly, and he was slightly relieved after confirming that his palm was warm.

"Let's go, let's go back." Chu Zhuang said, holding Yunmengxi's hand tightly.

"En!" Yunmengxi nodded vigorously, and immediately agreed.

"Cuckoo"

As soon as he returned to the room, Chu Zhuang heard Yunmengxi's stomach growling.

"Did you eat nothing today?" Chu Zhuang asked Yunmengxi in surprise.

Shouldn't there be a banquet for everyone to eat together at noon?

Yunmengxi scratched her head, and said with some embarrassment: "I, I can't grab them!"

The banquets in this village were swept away as soon as the dishes were served, Yunmengxi was no match for them at all, just eating a few mouthfuls of rice, of course, was not enough for him!

"Didn't I bring you pastries? Didn't you eat them?" Chu Zhuang asked distressedly.

"I, I'll give it to someone else." As soon as Yunmengxi took out the pastry, a group of children surrounded him and looked at him eagerly.Yunmengxi is a person who is easy to soften his heart, and when he is facing a child, he gives out the pastries when he feels soft-hearted.Chu Zhuang sighed helplessly, knocked Yunmengxi on the head and said: "In the future, when encountering such a situation, you must first fill your stomach, you know? I will feel sorry for starving you! "

Chu Zhuang didn't want Yunmengxi to be the kind of person who sacrificed himself to help others. No matter what the situation was, he hoped that Yunmengxi could protect himself first, and then take care of others.

Those kids are just looking for pastries, they don't really need that bite.

But if Yunmengxi didn't eat it, he would be hungry!

"I see." Yun Mengxi shook his head and Chu Zhuang's hand acted like a baby, "I'm so hungry, Chu Zhuang, don't talk about me." Chu Zhuang sighed, his eyes were full of distress, and he touched His cheek said: "Eat a few pastry pads first, and I'll make something delicious for you right now!"

"Yeah!" Yunmengxi was a little aggrieved at first, but when he heard what Chu Zhuang said, he immediately became happy.

Chu Zhuang took some ingredients from the kitchen, then went back to the room and brought Yunmengxi into the space.

Yunmengxi ate a piece of pastry with one hand, and followed Chu Zhuang like a little tail.

When Chu Zhuang went to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden outside, he followed him to the vegetable garden. Chu Zhuang was cooking in the kitchen, so he followed in the kitchen, wishing to make a humanoid pendant and hang it directly on Chu Zhuang's body.

Although Yunmengxi was clingy in the past, she was not as strong as today.

Apparently, he missed Chu Zhuang too much because of the day's time apart.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and the New Year's Eve dinner was supposed to be eaten by the Chu family.

But no one took the initiative to mention Chu Zhuang, as if as long as they didn't mention it, this person would not exist in this family.

They will still put on a show in front of the outside world, but after closing the door, they don't want to hide anymore.

"Let's have dinner."

Chu Fengmao said with a heavy heart, seeing that there was no joy on the faces of the crowd.

Everyone in the Chu family picked up their chopsticks and started eating without saying a word. Compared with the lively scene in previous years, this year not only was there fewer people, but it was also quite deserted.

Different from the dinner table at the Chu family, Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi sweetly prepared the New Year's Eve dinner in the space.

"Mengxi, stand a little farther away."

Chu Zhuang was about to croquette, afraid that the oil would splash on Yunmengxi, so he reminded him.

Yun Mengxi took a small step back, looked at Chu Zhuang and asked, "Chu Zhuang, is it far enough?"

Chu Zhuang looked at the distance Yunmengxi retreated, shook his head, freed his hand and pulled the person behind him, and then started to fry the balls

"Try one and see if it tastes good."

After Chu Zhuang fried it, he took one and let it cool before feeding it to Yunmengxi.

"It's delicious!" Yunmengxi stuffed the whole meatball into his mouth in one gulp, and said while exhaling.After the meatballs are fried, a fish is added at the end, and the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner are complete.

Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi brought out the dishes together and sat at the table.

"Let's have dinner!" Chu Zhuang smiled and poured a glass of Coke for Yunmengxi.

"P Gui! There are so many delicious foods!" Yunmengxi looked at the table full of delicious foods, showing a surprised expression.

Although he was always by his side when Chu Zhuang was cooking, his attention was all on Chu Zhuang at that time, so it was rare that he didn't pay much attention to his food.

"Taste and see if it's delicious." Chu Zhuang's cooking skills are not good, but only average. After all, he is not a person who is very particular about appetite.

It's just because Yunmengxi likes to eat, so he is also willing to study the recipes.

Today is the first New Year's Eve they spend together, which is very meaningful, so Chu Zhuang wants to make it richer and commemorate it. "Ah! By the way, don't rush to eat!"

Chu Zhuang suddenly remembered something, stood up from his seat, and walked into the room.

Yunmengxi blinked, and looked at Chu Zhuang with some doubts.

Chu Zhuang came out with a point-and-shoot camera in his hand, walked up to Yunmengxi, hugged him into his arms, and took a photo.

"What is this?" Yun Mengxi looked at the fool camera in Chu Zhuang's hand and curiously stretched out his hand to poke it.

"Take a photo to commemorate the first New Year's Eve we spent together." Chu Zhuang took out the photo and put it in Yunmengxi's hand.

After a while, figures gradually appeared on the white photo, and the figures of Chu Zhuang and Yunmengxi appeared on it.
