Chapter 20 After the Exam

Yuan Anping looked at Huo Xigui and Zhou Jiafu who were crying in front of him, and he had also seen that these two children were playful and didn't like to learn. He had spoken to the two children and had often spot-checked them, but it had apparently had little effect. He looked at the two of them with some disappointment and said, "First of all, you don't have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, Huo Fugui told you, I won't let you drop out of school, you really believe it." Secondly, you are too playful and do not cherish the mood of learning words. I hope this incident has taught you a lesson that many hard-won opportunities may never come back after you miss them. After speaking, he looked at the two parents who had been pleading, "I know your feelings, but I also want you to understand that when I received them, I had already expressed the consequences of not doing well in the exam, and they obviously didn't take it to heart." Moreover, learning words is not a fun thing in the first place, and it requires children to work hard and seriously. The so-called hardships are the best way to become masters, just let them learn a few more words is too tired, it is obvious that they are not suitable for learning words. As for you, if you really want your children to continue learning calligraphy, you can go to the children who stay and learn from them, I won't teach them anymore. With that, he turned around and walked over to the children who had stayed behind because they had done well in the exams.

Yuan Anping smiled and looked at the children left: "I am very happy with your efforts, and I also see your diligence." I know that you are studying hard every day, and even if your hands are stiff, you are still working hard. Such diligence and hard work have given you the opportunity to stay, and this is what I often tell you, the emperor pays off. We will learn more and more in the future, and I hope you can continue to work hard and do not slacken. ”

The children all said seriously, "We will continue to work hard!"

Yuan Anping smiled and nodded, "Then I will announce a news, because the day after tomorrow is the winter solstice." There will be no classes tomorrow, so you can go home and rest for two days, so that students from other villages can also go home for the holidays. Okay, you're going to have a good time for two days. ”

The children were very happy to hear this, and they all had smiles on their faces. After Yuan Anping announced that they would go back, they happily talked together about how they were going to spend the past two days. They used to have the opportunity to play, but now they spend most of their time studying every day, and they don't dare to play casually because of the pressure of exams, but now that they have put their burdens down, they feel very happy to be able to play for two days off. As soon as he went out and saw his family waiting outside, he happily ran to his parents. Then the chattering father and mother told how they were ...... during the exam.

And Huo Xigui and Zhou Jiafu's parents also saw that there was no room for turnaround, so they could only sigh and go home and beat their children, thinking about whose children they could find to teach their sons.

And here, Huo Fugui ran home angrily. Angry, he saw Huo Qingqing playing at the door, went up and pushed the person to it, stretched out his foot and was about to kick Huo Qingqing's body. When Yuan saw it, he hurriedly ran to protect the child in his arms, and he couldn't reprimand the other party, so he could only ask in a gentle voice: "Fugui, who provoked you?"

Huo Fugui scolded in a bad tone: "Get out of the way." Although Yuan's is his aunt, he doesn't like his grandmother, so he dares to be so unreasonable to Yuan's. Huo Fugui looked at them and became even more annoyed, stretched out his foot and kicked Yuan's family, and then returned to the house in a huff.

The Yuan family didn't care about Huo Fugui's attitude, she didn't have much status in the family, she knew. Seeing Huo Fugui coming back angrily, something must have happened. The Yuan clan hurriedly asked Qingqing to hide in the house, and advised: "You come into the house quickly, don't come out, lest your grandmother be angry with you." ”

Huo Qingqing nodded in fear, every time Huo Fugui was angry that their mother and daughter and uncle had suffered, so they obediently went into the house to hide.

After a while, Han came back, ignored Yuan, and went directly to the house to comfort his son.

Liu Shi also carried things into the courtyard gate with his hind feet, and when he saw Yuan's, he scolded with a smile: "Lazy woman, I don't know how to pick it up!" Yuan's dared to pause slightly, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the things, and stood aside with low eyebrows to help carry it.

When Liu saw this daughter-in-law, he was upset and frustrated, and said with a calm face in a very bad mood: "I'll go see my eldest grandson, you go and send things to my house." I have a number of things, dare to take them privately, be careful of your skin!" After the Yuan family said that he didn't dare, he ran to the eldest son's house.

As soon as Liu entered the house, she heard her grandson scolding Yuan Anping constantly, and she was also angry that Yuan Anping didn't give her grandson face so much, and she really returned her wealth and wealth, and she also raised her voice to accompany her eldest grandson to scold Yuan Anping.

As soon as Huo Xiangxiang entered the yard with the embroidery basket, she heard her mother's scolding voice, listened carefully, and found that the scolding was actually Yuan Anping, who everyone had been talking about recently. She entered the house with some curiosity, and saw that her sister-in-law and Fugui were angry. Looking at her angry mother again, Huo Xiangxiang hurriedly said with a smile on her face: "Mother, don't be angry, be careful, if you are angry, I will feel distressed." ”

Liu listened to the ironing in his heart, and took his daughter's little hand with fine skin and tender meat, "It's still my daughter who feels sorry for me." It's all to blame for Yuan Anping's kid! He even said that he was not rich and noble, and he was unwilling to accept my eldest grandson. Tell me, isn't wealth just a bit of fun, but he's smart! If you can't finish learning today, you'll learn it tomorrow, and you'll be able to finish it soon, so how can you be so light-hearted, you won't accept him! Yuan Anping's kid is so not a thing, he won't take people seriously because he can write! Look at me and find an opportunity to talk about him. She meant to spread the bad words of Yuan Anping.

Huo Xiangxiang heard and knew the reason, her mind turned, and she hurriedly said softly to Huo Fugui, who was rolling under the quilt on the bed: "Fugui, don't be angry with your aunt." You're so smart, who are you learning from? He Yuan Anping doesn't accept you, he always teaches other children, you find someone to play with you and let him teach you, and then learn better than him. When the time comes, let everyone see, it's not that you are rich and noble, it's that Yuan Anping won't teach. She said so, but she knew too much about the rich and noble temperament, she was greedy and fun-loving, and she didn't want to work hard at all. On this cold day, he was writing with a wooden stick, and his hands were so cold, how could he endure that bitterness.

Huo Fugui felt that what Huo Xiangxiang said was reasonable, and his mood was much better, "Aunt, you're right." What's so great! I'll look for Zhang Youliang to learn from in the future. When the spring is warm, I won't be happy to go to the courtyard of the frozen man in Yuan'anping!"

Han saw that his son was no longer making trouble, and said to him with a smile: "Son, I listen to you, and it is the same in the morning and evening." Then he said to his sister-in-law, "You still have an idea, Xiangxiang, and you can coax Fugui with such a sentence." ”

Huo Xiangxiang smiled and said modestly: "This is because Fugui is obedient and sensible, and when he grows up, he will definitely be able to make a big difference, and he will marry a girl from the city as a daughter-in-law for your sister-in-law!"

Han Shi was happy to hear this, "Oh, look at what you said, it's really okay to think about it." Fugui, your sister-in-law is so good to you, you have to be filial to your sister-in-law in the future!" she thought that with Huo Xiangxiang's handsome appearance, she would definitely be able to find a good family in the future, so that Fugui would never suffer a loss if she was close to her.

Yuan, who was listening outside, snorted coldly in his heart, thinking: "Even if Fugui's lazy appearance can still be promising, unless the sun hits the west and comes out!"

After the family gathered, they were very angry when they heard that Yuan Anping didn't leave Huo Fugui, but after listening to Huo Xiangxiang's idea, he felt that as long as he didn't delay learning words, he would save things. Anyway, now there are more literate children in the village, and they can find someone to teach, and they are still rich and young, so as long as they learn the words before they grow up, it is not too late.

Huo Xiasheng ate half of the egg that his mother left for him into his mouth, if it wasn't for Huo Fugui getting angry and saying that he wanted to eat eggs, and Anping returned the things again, his mother would definitely be reluctant to boil eggs. Naturally, he couldn't eat either. Thinking of the things returned, he smiled and said to Liu: "Mother, since the things have been returned again, there is no need to buy white noodles on the winter solstice, so buy more meat." As he spoke, he gave his sister Huo Xiangxiang a look.

Huo Xiangxiang was also a little greedy, so she smiled and said to her mother: "Mother, what the third brother said is right, the money prepared to buy white noodles can be used to buy meat." I want to eat it. ”

As soon as Huo Xiasheng heard his sister speak, he knew that this was going to happen. Sure enough, Liu listened to his youngest daughter's words, and although he wanted to save a few big bucks, he finally agreed. Because the Liu family plans to buy more meat on the winter solstice, everyone is very happy, and the family is also considered to be happy, of course, if it weren't for the mention of Yuan Anping's name, everyone would be in a better mood.

Huo Xiaohan came back with firewood on his back, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Huo Fugui scolding Yuan Anping, and wondered what had happened. Hurriedly inquired with the Yuan family, and only after listening to the Yuan family did he know the reason, Huo Xiaohan didn't feel too surprised. He can often see children writing in the open space, but several times he saw Huo Fugui playing and not studying at all, he once said a word to Huo Fugui, but was scolded by the other party, and then he didn't mention it again. It is reasonable that Huo Fugui was not left behind.

Yuan pulled Huo Xiaohan aside and asked in a low voice, "Xiaohan, can you receive it today?"

Huo Xiaohan paused, "I don't know, just wait and see." ”

Yuanshi nodded, sighed and said, "I don't know if I can receive the sweet one this time, Qingqing was very happy to eat the sweet cake before." Today she was beaten by Fugui, if only she could eat something good to make her happy. It's also because my mother is incompetent, so I can't protect her, so I make her suffer. As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel sad.

After hearing this, Huo Xiaohan hurriedly asked with concern: "Qingqing has been beaten!"

Yuan Shi shook his head, "I didn't get beaten much while protecting her, but I was so scared that I cried for a while." ”

Huo Xiaohan put his mind at ease, he felt very sorry for Qingqing, feeling that she was as pitiful as himself, but she was luckier than herself, she had a mother who protected her. And his own suffering is all from his mother.

Speaking of which, the Huo family is also a granddaughter of Huo Qingqing, and she shouldn't have been so disliked, but the Liu family dislikes the Yuan family, and the Yuan family has not given birth to Huo Qingqing for several years after giving birth to her, and Huo Qingqing has been affected by the way.
