Chapter 50: Apprenticeship

The Yuan family had already recognized Hua Jingjing in his heart, and when he saw that Hua Jingjing was so attentive to Li Tao, he was naturally happy in his heart. From time to time, she would call Hua Jingjing to her home for dinner, and Hua Jingjing somehow suddenly became extremely sweet, Mrs. Li was long and Mrs. Li was short, and she coaxed the Yuan family to be happy.

Hua Yunfeng and Cheng Dezhang are the initiators of this matter, and the results they have today are exactly what they want, how can they not like it?

Li Tao was even more overjoyed to have Hua Jingjing's favor. But at the same time, being followed by Hua Jingjing like a shadow every day made him suddenly feel a lot of constraints. Coupled with Hua Wenxuan, who is inseparable from Hua Jingjing, the duo of Li Tao and Fan Changfeng has become a foursome.

Since Tong'an came back, in order to make a good impression on Hua Jingjing, Li Tao honestly studied in a private school at the beginning. But within a few days, he couldn't stand Fan Changfeng's punch, and started his truancy career again. What Li Tao didn't expect was that Hua Jingjing and Hua Wenxuan also joined them without hesitation. Li Tao tried every means to dissuade them, but the two of them were unmoved. In desperation, Li Tao had no choice but to tremble and take them with him. In the second day, not only did Master Cheng not blame them, but it seemed that Hua Langzhong also pretended not to know. The four of them were overjoyed, and in just a few days, they almost traveled all over the surroundings of Jingfengli, and they had a lot of fun.

There is a large pond on the mountain of the Great Flail, and the pond is fed by the spring water of the mountain. In the summer, children like to go to the pond to play in the water. Li Tao doesn't usually go, because he can't swim! Speaking of which, Li Tao's crossing into the Tang Dynasty was related to this water, so he was quite taboo about it.

At this time, it was August, and the weather was particularly hot, and Li Tao, at the instigation of Fan Changfeng and Hua Wenxuan, also went with him on this day.

The coolness in the pond made Li Tao, who was standing by the pond, sweat. Seeing Fan Changfeng and Hua Wenxuan frolicking in the water, Li Tao was really envious.

Finally, Fan Changfeng and Hua Wenxuan had enough of playing and came ashore.

"Ah Tao, you also go and tread water, it is guaranteed to drive away the heat!" Fan Changfeng saw that Li Tao was sweating profusely, and persuaded him while getting dressed.

"Yes! Ah Tao, the water in this pond is very shallow, at most it reaches the abdomen! Besides, with me and Jiurou staring here, it's going to be fine, so you can go! "Hua Wenxuan moved faster and was already dressed.

"Okay then, you wait for me for a while, I'll go down and cool off for a while, and I'll come up right away!"

Li Tao finally couldn't resist the temptation of coolness, so he took off his essence in three or two and walked down the pond.

Just a few steps into the pond, Li Tao heard a terrifying voice in his ears: "Brother! You're all here! Is Tao there? It's easy for me to find! ”

Not good, Hua Jingjing is here! Li Tao hurriedly dived his lower body into the water, and his upper body was exposed.

"Huh? Tao, you're playing in the water! Hua Jingjing saw Li Tao in the water and asked with a smile.

"Hmmm! Well! Li Tao only nodded.

"Why don't you go down!" Hua Jingjing looked at Fan Changfeng and Hua Wenxuan, who were neatly dressed, and asked.

"Well, we just came up, and Atau's playfulness wants to stay in the water for a while!" Hua Wenxuan is a serious way.

"Exactly, believe it or not, our hair is still wet!" Fan Changfeng echoed.

"Atau! Why haven't you come up yet? Hua Jingjing stood by the pond and looked at Li Tao.

Li Tao said: "I haven't played enough! ”

"How long are you going to go?"

"Uh, Jingjing! You and your brother and Jiulang should go to my house first, A-Niang said, you will make delicious food for us today! I'll be right here! Li Tao persuaded Hua Jingjing.

Hua Jingjing looked at the sky, shook her head and said, "It's still early to eat, this will be fine!" Ah Tao, why don't you tell us the story of "Journey to the West" for a while! ”

After that, Hua Jingjing sat on the shore with a buttocks.

Li Tao suddenly felt bitter in his heart, and he looked at Fan Changfeng and Hua Wenxuan for help. But the two of them looked around as if they hadn't seen him.

"What kind of brothers did I befriend?" Li Tao couldn't help but wail in his heart.

Li Tao didn't know the attraction of storytelling to Fan Changfeng and Hua Wenxuan, and it seemed that the two of them would definitely not give up this great opportunity to rob while the fire was burning.

In desperation, Li Tao had no choice but to grit his teeth and tell the story. He spoke in the water for an hour, and the three of them were still unsatisfied.

If this continues, if you don't know that you will have to spend the night in the pond, Li Tao said angrily: "Jingjing! After listening to the story, A-Niang is making food for us, don't you know how to help? It's in vain that A-Niang loves you so much! ”

Hua Wenxuan nodded and said, "Jingjing, Ah Tao is right!" Let's go, let's go to Tao's house and wait for him first! ”

"Alright then, Tao, hurry up, let's go first!" Hua Jingjing finally compromised.

Fan Changfeng looked at Li Tao pitifully, and threw a few bud rice skins into the pond before leaving. Li Tao used these three budding rice skins to block his lower body with great difficulty, lifted his legs that were already numb, and went ashore with great difficulty step by step.

Finally getting dressed, Li Tao thought to himself: When you are naked in the future, you must think about what will happen later, and in the case of uncertainty, it is best to keep some cloth on your body!

When Li Tao walked into his courtyard, he saw Yuan, Pei Yue, Fan Changfeng, Hua Jingjing and Hua Wenxuan standing in a row in front of the house, looking at him with strange faces.

Li Tao felt strange when he saw this, didn't he just go to the pond once? As for making such a big show to welcome yourself?

"Are you waiting for me?" Li Tao asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Wait for me to eat?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Is that something?" Li Tao became more and more confused.

Hua Jingjing said: "There is something, but it's not us, it's him!" ”

With that, she pointed to the other side.

Li Tao fixed his eyes and saw that it was none other than the old acquaintance "Nie Shensuan" Nie Wushuang.

"'Nie Shensuan', I haven't seen you for a long time! It's better to be in time than to be in time, just in time, go into the house and eat together! Li Tao glanced at Fan Changfeng, and already knew Nie Wushuang's intention in his heart, but he pretended not to know and greeted him warmly.

"Li Xiaolang, I won't eat the meal, I have something to ask for today!" Nie Wushuang respectfully bowed to Li Tao.

"'Nie Shenshu' you are too polite, say, what's the matter with you?" Li Tao replied.

"I want to worship Li Xiaolang as a teacher, I hope you don't shirk!" Nie Wushuang finally said what he meant.

"Worship me as a teacher?" Nie Shensuan', you laughed, what can I teach you from a little child's family? Li Tao hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, Li Xiaolang, I'm serious, I want to learn the art of mental arithmetic from you as a teacher!" Nie Wushuang said solemnly.

"'Nie Shen Calculation', you don't have to, my mental arithmetic is all ingenious skills, and the small skills of carving insects are not elegant. However, the abacus of 'Nie Shensuan' can be described as a real kung fu, why do you need to worship me as a teacher and not turn it upside down? Li Tao politely refused.
