Chapter 126: The eldest or the second
After hearing what Prefect Xia and Magistrate Zheng said, Old Man Su was both surprised and delighted.
If my son can enter the civil service, he will become an official in the future.
What's more, he was an official who was specifically nominated and approved by the prefect.
Even the county magistrate would not easily embarrass his son.
The eldest Su and the second Su looked at each other, and both brothers were excited.
Su Xiaoliu was so happy that he almost jumped up.
However, he also knew that it would definitely not be his turn.
After all, he is still young.
Magistrate Xia looked at Old Man Su and asked, "What do you think, Old Man Su?"
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency the Prefect!" Old Man Su hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Old Man Su felt a little uneasy because the prefect kept calling him "Brother Su".
Little Tangbao looked at his eldest brother and then at his second brother, wondering which brother would become a yamen runner.
By the way, being a yamen runner is also dangerous.
Is this a good thing?
**
The news that the Su family had a government official spread throughout the Daliushu Village like a gust of wind.
"Brother Su, no, haha...Brother Su! Congratulations!"
The village chief Wang Zhengyi came to the Su family at full speed, and as soon as he saw old man Su, he began to congratulate him.
"Haha...congratulations!" Old man Su's face was flushed.
Old Master Wang also walked into the Su family's yard holding his pipe.
He said with a smile: "Old Su, from now on our Daliushu Village will also have connections in the government."
Mr. Wang's words really expressed the thoughts of many people in the village.
Since ancient times, the people have never fought against officials, and the common people have an innate awe of the government.
Now, people from my village have become officials in the government.
From now on, if anything happens at home, there will be someone to take care of you, right?
As a result, all the people in the village were happy and came to congratulate them.
"Brother Su, this is a great joy!"
"Yes, yes! This should be celebrated!"
“That’s right…”
For a moment, the Su family's yard was bustling with activity and laughter.
Qian Yuemei seized the opportunity and dragged Su Laoer into the house.
"What are you doing? There are so many people outside. I have to help Dad greet them." Su Laoer said impatiently.
Qian Yuemei revealed a mysterious expression and whispered, "His father, there's only one spot available. Who's going, you or his uncle?"
"Of course, eldest brother will go." Su Laoer said as if it was a matter of course.
Qian Yuemei glared at Su Laoer with a look of disappointment.
"Why should his uncle go? You are also a son of the Su family! Why can't you go?!"
Qian Yuemei's voice became a little sharp.
"Because big brother is my big brother!" Su Laoer slammed the hammer to the ground.
Qian Yuemei, “…”
I was so angry that I almost vomited blood.
"I'm telling you, you're not allowed to do anything weird again!" Su Laoer warned.
Qian Yuemei, “…”
I really want to punch Su Laoer a few times.
Isn't she thinking about him?
For the sake of this family?
After Su Laoer finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Qian Yuemei and turned to leave.
Qian Yuemei was so angry that she was gasping for breath.
"Sister-in-law, are you in the room? Mom asked us to prepare some dishes and said she wanted to invite Uncle Wang and the others to have dinner." Zhao Chunhua shouted from outside the door.
"I have a headache!"
Qian Yuemei shouted through the door.
I just lay down on the kang and didn't go out.
As for work, whoever wants to do it can do it.
It’s not her man who is going to be an official!
Zhao Chunhua heard the anger in Qian Yuemei's tone and was slightly surprised. She didn't understand what was wrong with this sister-in-law.
At this time, Boss Su walked over to Zhao Chunhua and said, "His mother, come here for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
Zhao Chunhua looked confused and went back to her room with Boss Su.
In the courtyard, the village chief suddenly asked, "Brother Su, should we let the eldest son go, or the second son?"
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, everyone in the yard looked at Old Man Su.
Qian Yuemei was lying on the kang, but she couldn't help but listen to the noise in the yard.
At this time, after hearing what the village chief said, although he knew the result, he still couldn't help but lean sideways and prick up his ears.
Old Man Su was stunned.
He really hadn't thought about this question.
However, according to the order of seniority, it is more reasonable to give this task to the eldest son.
"Let the boss go..."
"Dad, let my second brother go." Boss Su walked out of the house and said.
Behind Boss Su, there was also Zhao Chunhua.
However, Zhao Chunhua's expression was a little gloomy and a little aggrieved.
"Boss, you..."
Old Man Su looked at his eldest son and then at his eldest daughter-in-law.
I know in my heart that the couple must have discussed it before.
However, the eldest daughter-in-law seemed unhappy.
Su Lao Er shouted loudly: "Brother, this is a good thing. You are the eldest brother, so you should go!"
After hearing what his second son said, Old Man Su thought of his eldest son, who had always been honest and loyal, and his eldest daughter-in-law was also very filial and obedient.
Therefore, we must not let this couple suffer any loss!
So, he said in an agreeing tone, "Second brother is right, eldest brother, you are the eldest brother. Over the years, you and your wife have been filial to me and your mother, and have been taking care of your younger brothers and sisters. Now that there is such a good job, you should go!"
After all, once you work in the government office, you become a salaried employee.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is absolutely awe-inspiring.
Wherever he goes, he is superior to others and is sought after and flattered.
Zhao Chunhua's eyes turned red after hearing her father-in-law's affirmative words.
The grievance in my heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
Boss Su felt warm in his heart when his father praised him in public.
"Dad, listen to me. I am the eldest son. I should stay by your side and be filial to you."
"Brother, what you said is true. I am also my father's son. I can also be filial to my parents."
Su Laoer retorted.
"Second brother, don't talk first, listen to me."
Boss Su acted like the big brother.
After saying that, he looked at Old Man Su again.
"Besides, I'm not as smart as the second one. He's more suitable for handling affairs in the government office."
As soon as Boss Su finished speaking, not only Old Man Su was unable to refute, but even the village chief and others nodded.
Everyone felt that what Boss Su said made sense.
Old Mrs. Su looked at her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Old man, what do you mean?"
Zhao Chunhua was stunned, as if she had not expected her mother-in-law to ask her suddenly.
"Mom, I..." Zhao Chunhua hesitated.
Mrs. Su said, "Don't worry about what the eldest brother says. Just say what you think. I'll make the decision for you!"
The meaning of his words was clear: Zhao Chunhua should be the one to decide on this matter.
As long as Zhao Chunhua wants Boss Su to work in the county government, then Old Lady Su will let Boss Su go!
Outsiders may not want to know, but Zhao Chunhua knows how important her mother-in-law's say is in the Su family.
Since my mother-in-law said so, she will definitely do it.
It has to be said that what Old Lady Su said gave enough face to Zhao Chunhua, the eldest daughter-in-law.
The remaining grievances in Zhao Chunhua's heart disappeared in an instant.
Since her mother-in-law supports her so much, she can't help but return the favor, right?
"Mom, what Dahu means is what I mean. We are the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and we should be filial to you and dad." Zhao Chunhua said readily.
He regained his neat and tidy appearance.
