Chapter 125: Su Shen returns
Time has come to the end of February in a blink of an eye, and on the last day of February, Su Shen, who has not returned home, returned to the Meng family's house after a long absence.
This was the first time they had been separated from Su Shen for so long, and seeing this handsome young man again, Meng Zhen and Meng Qi were all uncontrollably excited.
Xiao Meng Qi couldn't take care of his sister at this time, he hugged Su Shen's neck tightly with a pair of little fat hands, "Brother Su, you can be regarded as coming home, I have missed you many times." ”
Meng Hao shook her head helplessly, "Then you coax him to play first, and I'll prepare tea and snacks for you." ”
Su Shen actually wanted to help Meng Hao, but who let him hang a little koala on his body, so his "want" to help really could only think about it in his heart.
After a while, Meng Hao carried a large tray into the main house of the Meng family as soon as he entered the courtyard, at this time Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun had also come back from outside, and the two were sitting in the main house, grabbing Su Shen and asking this and that.
Meng Hao put the tea and snacks on the table, and then took out an eight-treasure box full of dried fruits, nuts, and preserved fruits, "You eat some to cushion your stomach first, and I'll go prepare lunch later." ”
Su Shen was in a hurry to go down the mountain, he really didn't eat much in the morning, and after rushing for almost half an hour, he really felt a little hungry.
Su Shen smiled and pinched an oat walnut bun and ate it in small bites, "It's still good at home, the things that can be eaten in the academy taste really hard to describe." ”
In fact, Su Shen was completely because his mouth was raised by Meng Hao, but he didn't know that those students from poor families all thought that the food in the academy was very good.
After all, they are at home, but no one can eat dry rice or fine grains for every meal.
In the academy, they can eat at least two full meals a day, and occasionally they can even dip some meat and eat egg tofu, which is already a happy life for them.
"By the way, these are the ones I bought for you, they are not worth much, so they should be fresh."
After eating a walnut bun and two almond cakes, Su Shen immediately took out some small gifts he had brought back.
"This is the little wooden horse, swallow kite, rock sugar gourd, five-color candy and eight kinds of brocade that I bought for Ah Qi."
"These are the two fine white cotton cloths I picked for Uncle Yan and Aunt Yun, which are most suitable for children."
"This is a bag of seeds that I bought by chance, which is said to have been passed down from Fanbang and given to Zhen Zhen."
Meng Zhen was overjoyed, "Quick, show me." ”
The others were also very happy, although the gifts prepared by Su Shen were not valuable, they were all delivered to their hearts.
"I bought it with the prize money given by the White Deer Academy, because the sixth place is only two taels of silver, so the things I bought are not worth much."
Su Shen was a little embarrassed, but when he saw everyone smiling, he couldn't help but feel extra warm in his heart.
"People still have thousands of miles to send goose feathers, this one of yours is valuable enough." Yan Zhenwu patted Su Shen on the shoulder as he spoke, "I took the sixth place in the first monthly exam, good boy, promising." ”
"Yes, Ah Shen, you are really amazing."
With Meng Hao's praise, Su Shen only felt that his hard work of getting up early and studying late every day had all been rewarded, and he thought a little smoky that he would still have to redouble his efforts in the future, and strive to be praised by Meng Hao every time he went home.
Her eyes were bright, and she looked adoring and delighted, which made him feel the joy and meaning of life more than anything else.
"Your academy is quite rich, and if you are rewarded with silver money for every monthly exam, this expense is not small in the long run." After praising Su Shen, Meng Hao instinctively wondered about the cost of White Deer Academy.
"Don't you know? Bailu Academy has almost 100 acres of land in the entire Liaodong, in addition to them, they also have dozens of large and small study rooms and dozens of high-end or low-grade pen and ink shops for different groups of people. Coupled with the various gifts given to Bailu Academy by those students who have left school, Bailu Academy is indeed not short of silver. ”
Su Shen's words completely shocked Meng Zhen and the others, who had not inquired about the financial situation of Bailu Academy in detail, and they thought that Bailu Academy, a place where teaching and educating people was the main business, should not be very financially well-off.
"It seems that your White Deer Academy is even more powerful than I already know."
Meng Zhen is completely convinced, looking at other people's skills, not only do students teach well, but also earn a good amount of money, which is really envious + admiration.
Although Su Shen has only been studying in Bailu Academy for a short time, he already has something called "collective honor" for Bailu Academy.
"By the way, the dried meat and preserved meat sauce you brought me before, can I buy more of them this time?"
Thinking of his two roommates, Su Shen said this to Meng Hao.
"Yes, I've done a lot, you can decide how much you want."
Although Meng Hao now lives in the county seat, she should not go into the mountains to hunt frequently in the future, but she doesn't go by herself, Guo Yang, Guo Song and others will still take advantage of the rest to go into the mountains together.
And once they hit any prey, they will never lose Meng Hao's share.
So even if they settled in Ninghai County, Meng Zhen and they never lacked meat to eat.
Common ones such as pheasants and hares, and uncommon ones such as wild boars, roe deer, and hazel chickens, as long as Guo Yang hunted them, they would pick the good ones and send them to Meng Zhen first.
In addition, it is very convenient to buy everything in the county, so the Meng family has never lacked poultry, livestock, and fresh seafood.
"Then I'll bring some more tomorrow." Although Su Shen knew that Meng Hao's meat was basically specially prepared for her, before taking it away, Su Shen felt that it was still necessary for him to inform their true owners.
Meng Hao bowed slightly, "I also made caviar and dried shrimp, you can also take them to the academy together." ”
Su Shen raised his eyebrows, "Shen Feng has a blessing now." ”
Meng Hao was very surprised, "You want more meat sauce or something, all of them were brought to him?" ”
"Not really." Su Shen rubbed his eyebrows, "I brought it to my two roommates." But don't you know Shen Feng? As long as I go out tomorrow with something, he will definitely not let me out of his sight easily. ”
Meng Hao couldn't help but laugh, Shen Feng's gluttony really left a shadow on Su Shen.
She comforted Su Shen, "Then you can bring more and prepare his share." ”
"That's all there is to it." Su Shen sighed helplessly, after all, he sat in Shen Feng's carriage every time, and it was not good for him to take advantage of it at all.
"Are your two roommates students living in the same school building as you?"
Hearing Hao Mengyun ask, Su Shen immediately bowed slightly at her, "Yes, our school building is a four-person room, but now there are only three of us." ”
