Chapter 239: Meet Zhou Lan Again
A smile tugged at the corner of his lips, and his voice grew lower and lower, until he finally landed on the table.
After helping him to the guest room and placing him, Wu Fanghe was silent and silent throughout the night, and he was not even willing to be alone with his father, and persuaded him for a long time before he reluctantly accepted.
In the end, the two sat in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness. Ye Xiaoying's hands were not idle, and she mended their clothes in the faint light.
Li Tiezhu was deeply puzzled after Wu Sanshui was drunk, glanced at the sleeping room at this time, and said suspiciously: "Why do you say he is?" Don't spend the money you covet? Now it seems like a dream, but it is never tired. ”
"Do you sympathize with him?"
Li Tiezhu shook his head: "I pity him for taking money too seriously, so he turns a blind eye to his son's merits." This time it was not only him who was ruined, but also Wu Fanghe's future. ”
Ye Xiaoying is difficult to explain this, "Maybe I was too poor when I was a child, and after being poor, I naturally regarded silver as bigger than the sky, but I didn't know how to really use it." ”
Ye Xiaoying made Li Tiezhu not have to think about it, and at the same time was deeply puzzled, "A long time has passed in the blink of an eye, isn't there an exam in the academy?" ”
"Exams?" Li Tiezhu's face was nervous, and his eyes showed a little annoyance, "Master said that the exam will be extremely strict!" ”
Ye Xiaoying made Li Tiezhu not have to think about it, everything was based on his studies.
In the daytime, after Wu Sanshui woke up, he indiscriminately stepped forward to hold his sleeping son, ready to throw him into the car, this movement was quite loud, Wu Fanghe suddenly woke up and kept struggling.
Wu Sanshui coaxed him on the side, "Because you lost, your mother is crying every day, good boy, go home!" ”
Wu Fanghe was stunned first, and Xu thought of his mother, so he was still reluctant on his face. His son was obedient, he breathed a sigh of relief, took his son's hand and thanked Li Tiezhu and Ye Xiaoying, but a little alienation flashed in his eyes.
"Although you have taken care of Wu Fanghe these days, I will not be grateful to you, as for the reason in between, I think you know."
They didn't do all this for each other's gratitude.
Ye Xiaoying gave him a few more buns when he left, the buns were fragrant, and Wu Fanghe gratefully took them and took a bite of the aroma, which made him even more nostalgic.
Choked up and said to Li Tiezhu: "I still want to worship you as a teacher with you and let you teach me kung fu!" Teach everything the Master taught you! ”
Li Tiezhu raised his arm and hung down weakly, his heart was moved, and he squatted down and admonished: "Usually listen to what your parents say!" Wu Fanghe couldn't stop nodding, waved at the two, got into the car and gradually walked away.
Ye Xiaoying held his hand tightly, leaned on his side, and said abruptly: "If you take a wrong step, you will lose every step!" He handed the bun to Li Tiezhu and urged him to hurry up and go to school.
When he turned around, the carriage had already gone away, and Li Tiezhu came to the school, listening to the students talking to each other, and their faces were solemn.
When asked, the exam time in a month was suddenly advanced, and he said that he wanted to test what he had learned in the recent period.
Let's take the test, Li Tiezhu is not completely sure, but he is confident that he can win against the little children here. His face was full of indifference, but the fat face of the fat fish sitting in front of him almost turned into a bitter gourd face.
"The master also said that if you can't get through, you need to roll up the books and leave, my father and mother finally got the money together before they came, if they were driven away, they would definitely beat them up!" Put on a long face.
Li Tiezhu, who had a soothing expression and was relaxed, couldn't help but get nervous after hearing this, "What is the master going to do?" ”
When the master came in, he only felt that he was not smiling today, and his face had a gloomy color.
Li Tiezhu only heard the master say to everyone: "Today, each of you will make a poem, and the last two people will leave the school!" "Classes will start only after the requirements are met, and the exam is limited to two days.
It is not difficult to make poems, but the difficulty is whether he can satisfy the master, Li Tiezhu figured out the master's thoughts, but he never revealed his preferences when he explained.
In the past two days, it was rare to have quiet in the school, everyone was attentive and meticulous in learning, and Li Tiezhu was the same, but seeing that the time was approaching little by little, he had no clue.
In desperation, I had to come and ask Ye Xiaoying.
Ye Xiaoying didn't feel it after hearing this, "Of course, it's difficult for you to write if you worry too much, take it easy and try not to take the exam, just take it as an ordinary exercise!" ”
After some advice, Ye Xiaoying took advantage of Li Tiezhu's home to go out to purchase the shortage of medicines, and Li Tiezhu reviewed at home with peace of mind, but there was movement outside the door, could it be that Ye Xiaoying returned and did not bring the key, so she couldn't enter?
Li Tiezhu walked out and opened the door, and suddenly saw a figure that startled him.
His face was pale, and his two big hollow eyes looked straight at him, and when he looked at it, it was Zhou Lan.
Zhou Lan, who was accustomed to seeing glamorous and wealthy, suddenly saw her wearing a rag shirt, Li Tiezhu was stunned, until Zhou Lan covered her face and turned to leave, she came to her senses and immediately grabbed her: "Where are you going?" ”
Zhou Lan lowered her head in shame, her eyes dodging, "It's none of your business!" ”
Li Tiezhu ignored the dejected words in her mouth, dragged her into the house, and poured her a glass of water.
When asked, it turned out that Zhou Lan was almost reduced to a beggar. Shi Yukuan was weak, and as soon as he died a few months ago, his wife brought people to drive Zhou Lan away.
They brought all her belongings back, didn't even give her a change of clothes, and drove her away from the streets.
Hungry and full of meals, Zhou Lan unconsciously came to Li Tiezhu's door, and was ashamed when he found him. Li Tiezhu personally cooked a meal for her.
I saw her gobbling up, eating quickly and urgently, shaking her head, looking helpless.
When I came to the courtyard, the sound of familiar footsteps sounded outside the door.
Ye Xiaoying opened the door and said to Li Tiezhu with a smile: "You are diligent today, and you have prepared a meal early!" ”
But she was stunned when she saw the woman sitting inside, Li Tiezhu stepped forward to bring the medicinal herbs into the house, and pulled her to the eaves to explain slowly.
The original smile condensed on her face, Ye Xiaoying's chest rose and fell, and she heard Zhou Lan's miserable situation gradually calmed down her anger, and looked complicated when she looked at her, but Zhou Lan completely ignored Ye Xiaoying's gaze, even if she had eaten her chopsticks, she still stretched out to the vegetable bowl.
How can there be the slightest exquisiteness and wealth before?
It's just that Ye Xiaoying thinks that she has been fighting with her for many years, and every time it is an unbearable memory.
Her eyes showed a little disdain, and she said coldly: "There is indeed something wrong with the Shi Mansion, but she can't stay in our house. ”
Although Li Tiezhu agreed, he still had compassion and begged her, "Since she took refuge in us when she was desperate, let her live here for two days." ”
