On the way home, Zhou Gui was lame and refused to leave, and his father Zhou Fu walked in front of him with a red face and scolding, and stopped and scolded after taking a step.

"Shame!"

The exam, when the means of cheating are removed, the cruelty will be unobstructed, this pain is mental, will seriously affect your emotions, no matter how naïve people come out in front of everyone nakedly holding up the word "poor", the face will also be dull, and the bragging skin is punctured on the spot, no matter who will be angry.

"Dad, I hurt!" Zhou Gui replied miserably.

"Bear with it! Let Dad lose so much face in front of those people, and when I think about it, I can't help but beat you up! Zhou Fu scolded fiercely.

"Dad, I'm not the only one who has done the difference! Aren't they also the third baby! ”

"Turtle calves, don't learn from good babies, and compare with those stupid cubs every day! Dad told you, when the next test comes, if you get another bad test, be careful that your ass blooms! ”

Zhou Gui laughed and said, "No, Dad!" ”

Zhou Fu squinted his eyes and said, "I don't believe your turtle grandson anymore!" ”

Zhou Guidao: "Really dad, don't worry, I won't be bad again!" ”

Zhou Fu saw what he said, so he asked curiously, "Why?" ”

"Because today is the last day, Mr. Xiao will no longer hold classes in the future!"

At the same time, Qi Shu said this, since he got good results, he ran all the way out of the south city gate, kept running, tired and refused to stop, worried that the right palm with the word "excellent" written on it was washed away by sweat, so he ran all the way with a hard lift, and finally ran to Qi Village.

Two adobe houses are built of houses, with large holes exposed everywhere, and the kitchen for cooking, there is no smoke coming out of the cooking smoke until the next meal, listening to the sound of the loom clanging from the east house where he sleeps, Qi Shu excitedly pushed open the door of the house.

"Mother, look!"

With his left hand dragging his right hand, he held it high to show the woman in front of him who was wearing a patched cotton robe.

When the woman saw her son excitedly raising his hand for him to see, she smiled and put down the cotton spool in her hand and looked up.

"Good son, what is this about, why is it black?"

It's bad, didn't it get dirty when I just entered the door, and I felt a sigh in my heart, so I quickly retracted it and looked at it, and saw that the words were clearly written where there was a little bit of black.

knew that it was my mother who teased me again, so I said angrily: "Mother, you are here to tease me again!" ”

"Hahaha, silly son, my mother refused to put down when she saw that your arms were tired, so she teased you, who wrote the word 'excellent' for you? So important? ”

Qi Shu said happily: "It's Mr. Xiao!" ”

"I think so, my mother saw that you used to go until noon, why didn't you run away before noon today?"

Qi Shu squeezed in front of her with a smile, and was affectionately taken into her arms by her mother before replying: "Today is a test!" ”

"What is a test?"

"It's the assessment exam, today is the last day, Mr. Xiao is going to test us to see how much we have learned!"

The mother smiled and asked, "Then how did you do in the exam?" ”

"Don't you see the words on my hand! I've got an 'excellent'! Qi Shu replied excitedly.

"Son is awesome! Much better than your dead daddy! When he was dying, he couldn't even write his own name. ”

Qi Shu hurriedly jumped to the ground and said excitedly: "I will, I will" and used a small stick on the ground, wrote the word "Qi Saburo" in a boxy manner, and then wrote the word "Qi Shu" next to it.

"I didn't expect my son to really be able to write!"

Seeing that his mother was about to choke up and wipe her tears, Qi Shu hurriedly said: "I can not only write, but also do arithmetic!" ”

"Arithmetic?" The mother asked with a surprised face: "If you know arithmetic, then you can calculate the account book!" ”

Qi Shu shook his head and said: "No, I only learned half of it, Mr. said that there are still multiplication and division techniques that have not been taught, alas, I don't know when I will be able to learn it!" ”

The mother comforted: "Good son, you are so smart, you will study hard tomorrow" After finishing the words, I remembered that my son had just said that today was the last day, so I sighed and said: "I can't learn tomorrow!" ”

Seeing his mother sighing, Qi Shu hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, mother, Mr. Xiao said that if the class starts again in the future, he will call me to learn!" ”

"Mr. Xiao is really a good person, I taught you so many words for free, Xiao Shu, how much do you have to pay for the next class?"

Qi Shu said: "Mr. didn't tell me that he wanted to collect money!" ”

The mother smiled and said: "Learn some for free, and pay for the rest to learn, those who open private schools don't charge money, this primary school is smart after all." ”

Hearing his mother say this, Qi Shu said angrily: "Mother, I have told you many times, but you always can't remember, Mr. Xiao opened a tea shop, not a school starter!" Taking advantage of the closure of the business during the Chinese New Year, we made free space to teach us to learn literacy for free! ”

Seeing that her son was sulking, Qi's mother hurriedly coaxed: "Good tree, it's my mother's mistake in remembering, and I should be punished!" ”

Qi Shu laughed again and said: "Mr. Xiao is a great and kind person, I am the first to take the exam today, and I got an excellent one after the exam, and Mr. rewarded me with so much money as soon as he was happy!" ”

After speaking, he took out the red paper bag containing money from his arms, and when Qi Mu saw this, she took it with a sigh, poured it out and counted five copper coins.

Then he looked up at Qi Shu and asked, "Good son, Mr. rewarded you with money, have you thanked him well?" ”

Qi Shu said proudly: "Of course thank you, Mr. said in front of many people to let me buy some delicious food!" ”

Qi Mu smiled and said: "Since Mr. said that you should buy delicious food, then you can put it away, and wait for the market day in two days, go buy some delicious food!" ”

Qi Shu shook his head and said: "No, I want to save money to buy a brush, and when I have a brush, I can go to the market to write letters to them to earn money, and when I earn money, I can go to the real school to know more words, and when I learn more words, I can find a good job and earn a lot of money to support my mother!" ”

Looking at the baby who was only a few years old in front of him, trying to stand upright, and talking about earning money to support himself, he looked like a little adult, and the tears in his eyes flowed out uncontrollably.

I thought it would take two hours at most, but I didn't expect that it would be dark and no one finished the exam, and when I looked up, I saw the figure of Zhao Zhutou at the door turning in again, the dog coughed, pointed to the remaining four babies and said, "Let's go together!" ”

The four babies hurriedly arched their hands, and walked up with the sand table, and waited for a long time under the hall, back and forth are these five questions, except for the last one, which is more difficult, and the remaining four questions, even if you are learning now, you will already know.

Without waiting for the dog to speak, the four of them had already finished writing the first four questions, and the dog nodded at a glance, and said to a few people: "Dasha bought cooking cakes, six in the morning, noon and evening, and there were only two left, asking how many cooking cakes did you eat in total?" ”

A few babies, some of them broke their fingers, and some of them bowed their heads and drew on the ground.

The dog said: "Calculate it and write it on the sand table, don't let it be seen left and right." ”

The four of them hurriedly covered the sand table, chose a direction in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and wrote carefully, and after writing, they were afraid that people on both sides would see it, so they covered it with one hand and stared at the left and right to prevent anyone from looking.

Nervous, the people in the hall laughed.

The dog pouted, this is a hundred taels of gold, it really doesn't look at the occasion, people's parents are about to stare out their eyes, and they are also pulling people to point and look at it.

The four babies also learned the movements of the people in front of them, proudly raised their palms and walked out, and the four adults in the east hall glared at Jin Bailiang and chased them out with a smile on their faces.

Looking at the embarrassed Jin Yuanwai, the dog coughed and said: "Brother Jin, the kid has already colored you, and you are still dragging other people's parents to see jokes, and you should be damaged by others!" ”

Jin Yuanwai wiped the saliva on his face, blushed and said, "I thought you handed me a look to let me hurry up and watch the joke!" ”

The dog was about to say more, but Zhao Zhutou, who couldn't wait, grabbed the dog and said, "There's no time, let's go quickly!" ”

The dog only had time to say hello to the gold clerk and was dragged away by him.

Out of the shed, the two of them hurriedly walked into the yamen for a while, along the way the dog asked him and didn't care, just left, and saw the yamen, the dog found an opportunity and said: "Brother Zhao, slow down some boys' shoes are gone." ”

After putting on his shoes, the dog said, "Brother Zhao, why are you in such a hurry?" I can't even take care of eating! ”

Zhao Zhutou saw that he had put on his shoes, grabbed him and dragged him into the yamen in stride, and said as he walked: "What to eat, Liu County Lieutenant has been waiting for a long time in the lobby, and after a while, I will finish my errand, and my brother will invite you to eat steamed buns!" ”

"What? County Lieutenant Liu? What is he waiting for? Aren't you just talking to a few brothers? ”

As soon as he heard that such a big official as the county lieutenant wanted to see him, a layer of fine sweat had already formed in his nervous palms.

Went into the yamen, and dragged the dog through the instrument gate, the lobby courtyard hurried through the left and right six rooms and then went to the platform, did not enter the lobby, just turned left to bypass the supervision and arrest hall, and greeted the door of the door, and the dog was examined and entered the second hall, the county lieutenant hall, just west of the second hall.

Along the way, looking at the large and small houses, as well as the officials who were busy running on the road, and the majestic Minzhuang officials who were on duty with big guns and waist knives, the dog's heart was beating all the time.

As soon as the sky was dark, it was also the time to go on a business trip, and groups of public servants wearing various costumes walked towards the outside of the yamen in groups of three or five.

Greetings, teasing and laughing, still obsessed with work and talking loudly about things, yelling, and a few people who covered their buttocks and barked one after another, walked in front of the dogs, and the dogs who watched the fresh scenes were intent.

Zhao Zhutou on the side also stopped from time to time to salute the people who came to greet him, and it took a while for the two of them to walk into the county lieutenant's hall.

It was not as dim as the front office, it had already been lit by a dozen lanterns, five or six large braziers, and in front of the duty room at the door, a dozen public servants gathered and talked loudly.

In front of the platform, two stout soldiers in cowhide armor and red tasseled felt hats stood straight on both sides of the door, and their eyes shivered as if they had been blown by a cold knife in the wind.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhutou threw his dog's hand, hugged his fists and said to the two people: "This is my nephew, he was summoned by Liu County Lieutenant for something, and he has some face for the first time, and I hope the two brothers will take care of it." ”

The man on the left nodded and said, "Go in!" ”

Zhao Zhutou hurriedly thanked him, and led the dog in.
