The journey of the only child of a peasant family to take the imperial examination

Zhang Ping'an is the protagonist today. Xu took good care of the child, washed him clean, and put on a blue cloth dress, which set off his fair skin. He looked so cute.

"My dear, my dear, I am your second aunt, do you know that?" Xu Erniang liked the child as soon as she saw him, and could not help but reach out and pick him up.

"You know what, this child is really fair and tender, with black and bright eyes. He looks smart," said Xu Er Niang.

"That's right. My son is very well behaved. He usually cries only when he has pooped or peed. He doesn't cry easily and is very easy to take care of," said Mrs. Xu proudly.

"The one next to her is Liu Ya, right?" Xu Erniang raised her chin and pointed at the baby next to Zhang Ping'an.

"Yes, it's Liuya. Liuya is the elder sister, and Ping'an was born later," said Xu.

"Your life is finally over after all the hardships," Xu Erniang said with emotion. Her three sisters, the eldest and the youngest, had not lived happily in recent years, and she could only worry about them. Now the good days are coming for the youngest sister.

"Yes, I don't want to think about anything now. I just want to wait for Ping An to grow up. His father also said that he would send the child to school in the future," Xu said with a smile.

"Studying is good, and it will lead to a promising future. The Zhang family has the conditions. Your brother-in-law is a skilled craftsman and is hardworking. He will only work harder for his son in the future. You can rest assured," Xu Erniang joked, and then teased the child, "Oh~oh~is that so? Our little Ping'an will enjoy a happy life in the future!"

As he spoke, he took out the silver locket he brought and put it on the child's neck. He nodded and said with satisfaction: "My nephew is so handsome!"

"Second sister, you're spending too much," Xu scolded, "The silver is not cheap!"

"Don't worry about it, I'm giving it to my nephew!" Xu Er Niang said domineeringly.

"Okay, let's go out. We have to bring the child to meet our relatives," Xu said helplessly, changing the subject.

"Okay, then you hold Ping'an and I'll help you hold Liu Ya," Xu Erniang replied.

"Just leave Liu Ya in the room. There's no need to take her out," said Xu as she took her son. She had basically never even looked at this daughter. Besides, except for Daya, no other girl in the family had a full-moon banquet. There was no need to break this rule.

Zhang Ping'an had been listening to the two people talking with his ears perked up. This strange woman should be his aunt. When he heard that Xu did not allow the sister who was born with him to go out to hold a full moon banquet, Zhang Ping'an became a little anxious. He felt that this was too unfair to his sixth sister.

Then he stretched out his little arms towards the cradle, leaned his body outward, and made a few "ahhh" sounds, trying to express that he wanted his sixth sister to go out with him.

But he was too small and no one could understand what he said. Xu simply picked him up, pressed him into her arms, and then took him out.

Little people have no human rights...

After leaving the west wing, he saw a lot of people in the yard. They should all be relatives of the family. It was the first time that Zhang Pingan saw so many people in his house after being in this world for a month.

When Xu came out with the child, the relatives in the yard had already started to arrange seats and were ready to have the meal. Zhang Laoer saw Xu coming out with the child and stepped forward and said, "I was just about to look for you. We have to take the child to each table first so that the relatives can see the child."

People feel cheerful when they are happy. Today, Zhang Laoer looks radiant and speaks in a loud voice.

The first table was filled with the Zhang family's direct relatives, cousins, uncles, and uncles. Everyone had to praise the child after seeing him, and then give a red envelope and put it in the child's swaddling clothes. That was why Xu had tied the swaddling clothes a little loosely just now.

The second table was occupied by Zhang Ping'an's grandparents. The full-moon gift they gave was the most generous. Not only was there a red envelope, but his grandmother Yu also put a small silver bracelet on Zhang Ping'an's left hand with three small bells on it. The bells jingled when he moved his hand. Zhang Ping'an waved his hand and liked it very much. He thought it was quite interesting.

There are always discordant voices. My aunt-in-law Shen said a little sourly, "This is really a gold nugget. The in-laws have to give a silver bracelet as a full-moon gift."

"No way, my nephew is so cute, he deserves to wear a silver bracelet," Xu Youcai pulled Shen's sleeve and said with a smile to smooth things over. Why does this woman always speak without paying attention to the occasion?

"This is a gift from us, our grandparents. This is our own retirement money. We can give it to whoever we want. This is the least I can do," said Xu's mother Yu angrily with a stern face. This second son's wife is really a troublemaker.

"No, mother, this is really too valuable. You can take it back and give it to the children of my eldest and second brothers," Zhang Laoer and Xu also declined.

Although this silver bracelet is small, it is of very good quality and is estimated to be worth more than one or two taels. For an ordinary family, this gift is indeed very expensive. They had never given such expensive gifts to the children of Brother Xu and Brother Xu before, so it would be difficult to repay the favor.

"This is not for you, but for the child. Take it and don't refuse it," Old Man Xu made the decision. The reason he gave the silver bracelet was to give his little daughter a face so that she would have more confidence in her husband's family in the future. After all, she was the only child he had with great difficulty.

The rest were all relatives within the fifth degree of mourning in the village. They were just relatives there to show their respect. After a quick visit, she came back and received some red envelopes. Then Xu took Zhang Ping'an inside. There was a lot of noise outside and she was afraid that the child would be frightened.

"I brought two sets of clothes for the children. I'll go in with you and try them on for them," said Old Lady Xu, who got up from the table early and walked over with a small package.

"Our Ping'an is so well-behaved. He hasn't cried or made a fuss for such a long time," Old Lady Xu said lovingly. She took out a small package and handed it to Xu, "This is the clothes I made for the children. They are made of cotton, breathable and comfortable to wear. One set for each child."

"Well, this can be changed into by Ping'an. It feels comfortable to the touch. Thank you for your hard work, mother. You took the trouble," said Xu as she opened the bundle and touched the clothes.

"This is what I gave to Ping'an and Liu Ya. They each have one. They are both your children. You can't be too partial to them," said Old Lady Xu.

"Tsk, she's just a little girl. Her sisters have plenty of old clothes, enough for her to wear," Xu said without caring.

"Child, your father and I are not so biased towards boys. Ping'an is the one you have been waiting for with great difficulty. I can understand that you favor him a little more, but the rest of the children are also your flesh and blood. No matter what you think, you still have to be careful with your words. Ping'an is still young. It will take more than ten years for him to grow up. By then, you and your son-in-law will be older. You may have to rely on your daughter and son-in-law for help in the future. You can't offend your daughters too much. If you treat them badly when they are at your parents' home, how can they remember you as a mother when they go out?" Seeing that her daughter's thoughts were becoming more and more biased, Yu couldn't help but hold her daughter's hand and lecture her carefully. This was the experience of the older generation.

"Okay, I understand, mother," Xu said thoughtfully after hearing this.

"I'm glad you understand. Live a good life in the future. There are so many people outside and they are gossipy. After the banquet, you will have to help see the guests off and clean the table. You will definitely be busy. I took this time to come here and remind you. If you have anything else, please ask someone to tell us." After saying this, Old Lady Xu teased the child twice and went out.

Little did she know that today's conversation had touched the heart of Xu. After all, in ancient times, she and Zhang Laoer were not young at this age. They could be said to have had a son in middle age. When their son grew up, they would be old too. What her mother said was right. She had to let her daughter stick to her parents' side, and then find a few capable sons-in-law to help her son.

The six sisters were brainwashed into becoming brother-supporting demons and their careers began from then on!
