strong> Chapter 53. Gifts are not given casually

After checking all the students' dictation, Yuan Anping looked at the sky, and it was time to leave school. So he said to the children, "Take three days off, and you will have to do your homework." For three days, you have to teach yourself five words, and write all the words silently for your study representative to check. Most of his students are from the village, and more than a dozen of them are from the county seat, and he selects a student who usually studies well as a study representative in each place to check the vacation homework of the students under his control. For example, the student representative in their village is Li Zi, and other children in the same village have to go to him to check their homework. Whether it's dictation or memorization, or assignment of new words to learn, you can also find a learning representative, or they get together to learn. After all, we don't have any paper, so we can't write it down and bring it back for him to check. In doing so, it saves them money, encourages them to learn, and deepens their relationship.

As for the study representative, it is naturally not a lifelong system, and after each big exam, choose the one with the best grades to serve, so, if you want to have this honor, then study hard. Imagine, during the holidays, some students want to let themselves check their homework, and in the eyes of parents, their children are simply too promising! Whether it's a sense of honor or vanity, if you use it in the right direction anyway, it can also become a motivation for learning.

After assigning his homework, Yuan Anping said goodbye to the students, and when the students were finished, he stretched his waist and walked slowly to the hall. Professionally, it's good to be a teacher, and there are holidays.

After entering the hall, Huo Xiaohan brought him hot water: "Wash your hands." ”

Yuan Anping washed off the dust on his hands and thought of tomorrow's day: "Xiaohan, tomorrow is your birthday, have you figured out how to spend it?" ”

Huo Xiaohan was stunned for a moment, and reacted that tomorrow would indeed be his birthday, and hurriedly said, "Don't make anything special, don't bother." ”

People in the village don't pay attention to birthdays, and generally older people will be valued on their birthdays, and it would be good for the favored children to be able to boil an egg on their birthday. Yuan Anping thought about it, not to mention this, what he saw and heard when he was a child, children's birthdays are not very important, some people are in their twenties, and they only start to celebrate their birthdays. It's just that later, everyone's economic conditions improved, and adults paid more attention to children's birthdays.

Yuan Anping thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat oil cakes before?" Why don't you make oil cakes tomorrow morning? As for the evening, you cook a few dishes, and let's take advantage of your birthday to have a good meal. I'm a little hungry and want to eat braised pork, and of course, fish has to be there. ”

Zhong Sun Rui smiled and said, "Brother Anping, we eat meat every day, why are you still greedy." He studied with the children in the village, made friends, and had a much more cheerful personality.

"What you eat meat every day, it's just to add a little shredded meat when you stir-fry at noon, it's just to add flavor, not enough for each person to clip a chopstick. I've decided to have a good meal tomorrow. Xiao Han's birthday, no matter how you say it, you should celebrate. The next time you celebrate your birthday, we'll celebrate it too. ”

"Oh yes!" Zhong Sun Rui was happy, and then he was a little disappointed when he thought of something: "However, I don't know what my birthday is." ”

Zhongsun Rui is a child picked up by Zhongsun Lianjue, so he doesn't know when he was born, and of course he doesn't know who his biological parents are. Yuan Anping saw that he was lost, and rubbed his head with a smile: "Look at you stupidly, I don't know when I won't let your grandfather pick one for you, let him check the yellow calendar and pick an auspicious day for you, how good." ”

Huo Xiaohan also comforted him and said: "Yes, it doesn't matter what day your birthday is, no matter what day it is, we will celebrate it for you." ”

Zhongsun Lianjue said with a smile: "Anping's idea is good, I'll check the yellow calendar for you later, and let you pick a good day by yourself." ”

Zhong Sun Rui is not disappointed, he has a grandfather who loves him, and there are people who are willing to celebrate his birthday, he is very happy: "Well, grandpa, I'll go get you the yellow calendar." ”

Looking at his grandson who ran out happily, Zhong Sunrui said to Yuan Anping: "Boy, I have to thank you. ”

"What is there to be thankful for, even if it is celebrated, I will eat with it." Then he said to Xiao Han: "Tomorrow is your birthday, I have to express it." However, I'm not good at cooking, so I'll boil you two eggs? ”

Huo Xiaohan was a little embarrassed, and felt that he didn't have to worry too much about his birthday: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll make oil cakes tomorrow morning." Of course, he also felt that he didn't have to cook a sumptuous dinner, but what Yuan Anping said seemed to be that he particularly wanted to eat, and Huo Xiaohan naturally couldn't refuse.

"That's not good, you have to make us food for your birthday, we have to mean anything. That's it, I'll boil you two eggs tomorrow and bring them over. ”

Because he didn't have to go to class the next day, Zhongsun Lian Jue kindly didn't give him an endorsement task, Yuan Anping went to bed early, and got up earlier than usual the next day.

After getting up, he boiled water to wash, and boiled the eggs for Huo Xiaohan by the way.

Yuan Anping warmed his hands with two eggs in his hand, and walked towards Huo Xiaohan. At this time, most of the people in the village had already eaten breakfast, and they, because Yuan Anping believed that winter was the most suitable season for lazy sleep, so it was strongly recommended that the breakfast time be postponed and everyone should sleep more, so their breakfast time was later than others.

Greeted the people he met warmly along the way, Yuan Anping came to Huo Xiaohan's door, saw that the door was open, and knew that they had all risen.

Yuan Anping went directly to the kitchen, Huo Xiaohan must be there at this time.

Seeing Huo Xiaohan, who was busy working, Yuan Anping smiled and took out two eggs: "Here you go, happy birthday." ”

Huo Xiaohan happily took it, he had grown so big, it was the first time that someone had the opportunity to give him eggs on his birthday.

"Brother Anping, thank you." He was really happy.

"Don't be so polite, it's just two eggs, and you can't compare with those who put on a big feast. You have to be so easily satisfied, I will only give you two eggs in the future. ”

Huo Xiaohan took the hot egg and said very seriously: "The egg is very good." ”

"It's really easy to satisfy." As he spoke, he looked at the long strips of noodles on the board, "The oil cake you made is an oil roll, right?" ”

"It's a pancake."

Yuan Anping knew that the name was different, but the method was the same, all of them were to roll out a large sheet of dough, sprinkle it with oil and salt, then roll it up, and then flatten it with a rolling pin. The oil and salt are enough, and it is actually quite delicious.

"Do you need to add some chopped green onions or something?"

Huo Xiaohan shook his head: "That's good." ”

"Is that enough? Do you want to start a fire now? ”

"I'll make two more, and now I'll do the fire."

As soon as Yuan Anping lit the fire, Zhong Sunrui ran over: "Brother Anping is here." Then he took out a piece of paper, "Brother Xiaohan, happy birthday." This is my gift to you. He was a little embarrassed, "I didn't have the money to buy you anything, so I drew a picture for you." ”

Huo Xiaohan happily took it, opened it and looked at it, looking at the plum blossoms that looked like paintings, he praised: "Xiaorui's painting is really beautiful, I like it very much, thank you." ”

Yuan Anping also rubbed over and looked at it: "Yo, the painting is good." ”

Zhong Sunrui was a little shy when he was praised: "No...... Not so good. In fact, grandpa's paintings are beautiful. ”

After Zhongsun Lianjue came, Huo Xiaohan naturally received another gift, Yuan Anping looked at the calligraphy and everyone seemed to have a pair of words, and said in his heart, he deserved to be a person with a "small talent", and this handwriting was better than many people.

After receiving the gifts they sent, Huo Xiaohan carefully put them away, he was very happy, and he kept a smile on his face.

When the oil cake came out of the pot, Yuan Anping first sandwiched a piece for him: "You are today's little birthday star, you eat first." ”

"This is not good, it should be given to Mr. Zhongsun first." Huo Xiaohan felt that the elders should come first.

Zhongsun Lianjue smiled and said: "Today you are the birthday star, you are the biggest, eat." ”

"Brother Xiaohan, you are the biggest today."

Yuan Anping said with a smile: "You're welcome, you can eat quickly, after you eat, we will rob it." My stomach was already rumbling. ”

Huo Xiaohan smiled and took a bite.

"How? Is it tasty? ”

Huo Xiaohan smiled with a smile in his eyes: "It's delicious!" ”

Yuan Anping smiled and helped him peel the eggs and put them into his porridge bowl: "I have eaten oil cakes and eggs, and I will continue to eat a big meal tonight." The birthday is once a year, and it's like the New Year, so you have to be extravagant. ”

Zhongsun Lianjue smiled and nodded: "Reasonable." ”

"Thank you." Huo Xiaohan bit the cake, and the warmth surging in his heart made him want to cry.

Yuan Anping saw that he was smiling with tears, and sighed in his heart, poor baby: "Bear it, don't shed tears, how can you cry on your birthday." ”

"Hmm...... I don't cry. ”

Looking at his appearance, Yuan Anping couldn't help laughing: "You must have held back." Then he took oil cakes for Zhongsun Lianjue and Zhongsun Rui, "Let's eat too, starve to death." ”

On this day, Huo Xiaohan was very happy, and he kept a smile on his face.

In the evening, Yuan Anping had a few drinks with Zhongsun Lianjue, and let Huo Xiaohan drink half a cup together. After drinking and eating, talk to them for a while, and Yuan Anping will get up and go back.

The moonlight tonight is beautiful, and the earth seems to be covered with a white veil, even at night, it does not make people feel dark.

Huo Xiaohan sent people outside the door and was about to go back, when Yuan Anping called out to him.

He took out the jade pendant from his arms, "This is a warm jade, it is said that wearing it is good for the body." To you, to your birthday. ”

Huo Xiaohan looked at the jade pendant in his hand and didn't take it: "This is very expensive, right?" ”

Yuan Anping had a smile on his face: "It's not expensive, take it." ”

Huo Xiaohan was a little stunned: "Didn't you already give me two eggs?" ”

Yuan Anping laughed: "How can anyone really give eggs as gifts." ”

Huo Xiaohan said in a low voice: "...... Eggs are just fine. Yu Pei, I'm not suitable. ”

Yuan Anping looked at Huo Xiaohan, who hung his head in front of him, glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, and then raised it in front of him: "I know the meaning of giving a jade pendant, are you willing to accept it?" ”

Huo Xiaohan raised his head and looked at Yuan Anping, with a surprised expression: "You ......"

"Would you like to take it?" Yuan Anping's expression was serious.

Seeing that he was serious, Huo Xiaohan was confused: "I, it's not suitable." ”

Yuan Anping said: "Whether it is suitable or not, isn't it up to me to decide?" ”

Huo Xiaohan looked at Yuan Anping and said seriously: "Brother Anping, I don't care about those rumors in the village, you don't have to ......"

Yuan Anping didn't answer him: "You said that you are not suitable, but I think it is appropriate." Placing the jade pendant in his hand in front of him, "Would you like to ask for it?" ”

Huo Xiaohan lowered his head and didn't look at the jade pendant: "Brother Anping, you are suitable for better." ”

Holding the jade pendant in his hand, he did not do it on the spur of the moment: "What do you think, what is better?" Is it family background, knowledge or appearance? ”

“…… It's better than me. After speaking, Huo Xiaohan was leaving.

Yuan Anping grabbed him and asked him to face himself: "Huo Xiaohan, no matter what you think of me, but in fact I am very selfish. You're doing me well, but it's just because what you do doesn't do me any harm. Yuan Anping asked him to look at himself, "Whether it is food, medicine or taking in Mr. Zhongsun and their grandchildren, these expenses are only a drop in the bucket for me." It can be said that if I had been as poor as the people in the village, I would not have been willing to give you white flour steamed buns. ”

Huo Xiaohan didn't understand why he said this.

Yuan Anping looked at him: "So, I'm not a saint, and I'm not as noble as you think." ”

Huo Xiaohan didn't think so: "But there are many people who are also rich, but they are not willing to help anyone." You also rescued Mr. Zhongsun, if it weren't for Master Zhang who happened to pass by, you might have been beaten. You also saved my life, and I know you didn't save me because you wanted to do anything to me. ”

Yuan Anping was speechless: "You don't have to prove that I'm a good person like this." ”

Huo Xiaohan said very seriously: "You are a good person." ”

"Being given a good person card generally doesn't end well."

"No, good people have good rewards."

Yuan Anping felt a little off-topic, and didn't plan to argue about whether he was a good person or not: "What I want to say is that you think too well, what better talent is suitable for me." I'm just a very ordinary person, what I'm pursuing is not love, love you, I have to love you, I have to love you, I live and die. What I want to live is a stable life, eating and drinking well every day, even if the days are as plain as water, that is a blessing. ”

"What do you mean?" Huo Xiaohan didn't understand.

Yuan Anping felt that he should be more straightforward: "I think you are very good, you cook deliciously, you can also make clothes, and you don't have so much to do." It should be quite comfortable for the two of us to live together. Now the village is also spreading the same word about us, so let's just live together in the future. "Free love in this world is all, let him marry a fifteen-sixteen-year-old who doesn't know his appearance and personality, he is not happy. For Huo Xiaohan, he can be sure that the two of them will live well. As for the gender issue, there are still two years to go, and I can always get used to it.

Huo Xiaohan blushed a little: "That...... Cooking and making clothes, they can do it, and they are better than me. ”

Yuan Anping stuffed the jade pei into his hand: "Take it." I don't know what about other people, and I don't want to know. I thought about it very carefully, and I thought it would be good to live with you. You take the jade pendant first, two years after getting married, I can't help it if there is a filial piety period. ”

"......"

Yuan Anping didn't give him a chance to refuse at all: "This matter is so decided, it's not too early, I'll go back." You also go to bed early. After saying that, he left in style.

Huo Xiaohan took the jade pendant and looked at the back of Yuan Anping leaving, very entangled. 166 Reading Network
