"Sister-in-law Huang?" Lan Xin didn't react for a while, when did there be such a person in this courtyard? It's just that her demeanor around her body is a little incompatible with this small courtyard, even if she is in a hurry, the steps under her feet are still not chaotic. There is still a calm and calm look on his face.

Lan Xin couldn't help but look at her a few more times, the pupils in her eyes shrank, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she smiled silently. No wonder I feel that this person is a little familiar, it turns out that she is Huang Heng's mother-in-law, and there are six or seven similarities on the faces of mother and son.

Sure enough, Dong Xiu explained in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Huang is the mother of the short Huang Heng." The mother and son lived in the depths of the alley. It was Mr. Pei who accidentally discovered Huang Heng, and he felt that he was a talented person, so he brought him into the school. ”

It turned out that Pei Jieming did not leave the room after a lecture, but paced to the window to enjoy the scenery outside. I found a teenager standing under the tree outside the window with a load of firewood, as if he was tired of walking and resting under the tree. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, just passed by. However, he found that the child could be seen for several days. It's not so much that he goes there every time he goes to rest, but that he listens to his lessons.

Pei Jieming couldn't help but look at the child a few more times, and found that the child's eyes were clear, and there was a steadiness and wisdom between his eyebrows that did not match his age. Looking at the patched clothes and shoes on his body, my heart was moved with compassion and pity.

Pei Jieming took advantage of Mu Xiu to sneak to the vicinity of the tree, hid in the dark, and secretly observed. Sure enough, when the hour came, the boy took his burden and came under the tree. He didn't hear the sound of reading in the past, and he was not in a hurry, so he put the firewood next to him and wrote and drew on the ground with a branch. I don't know how long it took, but he still didn't hear the sound of reading aloud, and his brow furrowed slightly, but there was no more impatience. pondered for a moment, lowered his head, and continued writing.

Benjamin Pei lightly paced behind the boy, looking at what he wrote on the ground, which was exactly what he explained a few days ago. A sudden shadow on the ground startled the child. Turning his head to look at Pei Jieming behind him, he hurriedly dropped the branch in his hand. He bowed to Pei Jieming, and called out respectfully in his voice: "Sir!"

"You're not my student, why do you call me sir?" Pei Jieming asked with a slight frown, puzzled.

The boy first raised his head in surprise, and after being stunned for a moment, he said with a frank and sincere face: "With the wisdom of Mr., how can I not understand the purpose of my daily firewood here?"

Pei Jieming raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes were full of appreciation. Pursing his lips, he tried to suppress the corners of his mouth, and asked casually, "Tell me, what is the purpose of your daily visit?"

The child's tense body couldn't help but tremble, and his face hung down in a daze, and his face turned red, even the roots of his ears were red. Lowering his head, he whispered, "Sir, forgive me!" The boy overheard Mr. giving a lecture and admired him very much. Therefore, I can't help but hide here every day in the name of resting with firewood, eavesdropping on my husband's lectures. Whether it is a beating or a punishment, the boy obeys the orders of Mr. He pursed his lips, trying his best not to tremble, a posture of openness.

Benjamin Pei was already impressed by this child. At this time, seeing him behave like this, my heart appreciated it even more. The cold expression couldn't hold back, and finally raised his hand and patted the child's shoulder, and said with a smile, "What a good child!" "What's your name?"

"Boy Huang Heng. After Huang Heng finished speaking, he stood quietly like that. Hanging his head and slumping his shoulders, he looked like he was fighting and resentful.

"Hehe!" Pei Jieming finally couldn't help laughing. He really wanted to accept this child, but this academy was a jade girl's. Therefore, he didn't dare to act rashly, make decisions in private, and take in one more person. After racking his brains, he came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

He looked at the load of firewood, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Where did you get this firewood? It looks very dry and very hot, so it is better for you to send a load of this firewood to our house at this hour every day." There is a stout banyan tree in our house, and there is a stone table and a stone bench under the banyan tree, where you can sit and sweat. ”

Huang Heng's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth wide in surprise, stuffing an egg with his feet. This was to tell him that he could go to the courtyard every day to listen at the cost of a load of firewood every day. "That'······ The ····· I ······ Sir, you······· Good ······· Good. His mouth trembled, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence. just bowed to Pei Jieming and thanked him.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay!" Pei Jieming held Huang Heng with a wry smile, "You kid, why are you so polite? It's just for you to follow and listen to it, whether you can understand it or not is not my responsibility." ”

Huang Heng said in a serious and firm tone: "Sir, don't worry, the kid will not live up to Mr.'s heart." The implication is that even if he is an observer, he will listen carefully and live up to Pei Jieming's hard work. The eyes that were clear and bright with joy were even brighter. His eyes rolled, he patted his chest and said, "If it is in the future, Mr. will be useful······"

"Okay, it's still too early to say this!" Pei Jieming raised his hand and touched Huang Heng's head, interrupting him, "Besides, in fact, you don't have to thank me today, I'm just teaching here." How exactly to operate, and where you go from here, only the girl can decide!"

Pei Jieming clearly noticed that the little guy's body instantly stiffened, and his bright eyes were full of tears. Looking at Pei Jieming with blank eyes, Pei Jieming turned his head a little weakly and said in a low voice: "Our girl is low-key and benevolent. I'll discuss this matter with the girl personally. ”

As soon as Huang Heng heard that things had taken a turn for the better, he couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed. After Huang Heng entered the school, Huang's sister-in-law was not worried that he would come here alone. At the same time, I don't want to always take advantage of others. So I volunteered to come here to help with chores, do laundry, and clean up the room for the children. First, you can replace the shackles, and by the way, you can also observe from the side, what the environment and people here are.
