Those who practice martial arts have a faster foot journey than ordinary people. On the trail, Mr. Xiao Lu walked in front, and Qi Ye and Meng Yunsheng always kept a distance of half a mile from him.

As for where Mr. Xiao Lu is going? Qi Ye and Meng Yunsheng were silent, and they both knew it.

Soon, after Mr. Xiao Lu walked around a corner, there was a faint sound of a few children laughing. He heard him quicken his pace until he stopped in front of a small courtyard, gently pushed open the half-hidden wooden door, and walked in.

Qi Ye and Meng Yunsheng immediately followed, hid behind the wooden door, and got a glimpse of the scenery in the small courtyard.

Under the moonlight, above the courtyard gate, the wooden plaque has four black characters written "Lu's Private School".

There are several rows of wooden tables and chairs in the small courtyard, and stationery such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are placed. Because it was getting late, the lights on the candlesticks were lit. The schoolchildren who had not yet returned home took advantage of the fact that Mr. was away, so they spread their courage to play games around the table and chairs.

"Sir is here!"

Since Mr. Xiao Lu entered the courtyard, such a shout was heard among the playing schoolchildren, and they all obediently returned to their seats. Some lowered their heads to flip through the books, some pretended to pick up the pen and write, and some simply opened their eyes wide and looked at the person at the lectern with innocent expressions.

Mr. Xiao Lu's expression was extremely serious, and he walked down from the lectern with a ring ruler, "Have you done all the homework I left behind?"

No one dared to respond. After only a while, the wide-eyed, particularly clever schoolboy stood up from his seat and said to him, "Sir, we have finished all of it, and we can all memorize the "Thousand Character Text" we learned today. ”

"Is it?" Mr. Xiao Lu still did not smile, and the ring ruler in his hand slowly fell on the wooden table of the schoolboy, and he said, "In that case, then memorize a paragraph and listen to it." ”

The children who were writing and flipping books around all stopped and looked up. The schoolboy who stood up on his own initiative blinked his eyes wide, and there was no fear on his face. Seeing him scratch the top of his head with his hand, he cleared his throat and turned his back.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining. The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest is hidden in winter. Leap more than adulthood, Lu Lu tunes the yang ......"

In the crisp voice, one or two other schoolchildren stood up and recited alongside them.

"The clouds make rain, and the dew turns into frost. Jin Sheng Lishui, jade out of Kungang. The sword number is huge, and the pearl is called luminous. Fruit Zhen Li Ji, vegetable heavy mustard ginger ......"

More and more voices are joining the endorsement camp. Until all the schoolchildren in the courtyard stood up, facing their husband, their speech clear and fluent, and their faces were full of confidence.

"The sea is salty, the river is light, and the scales are flying and the feathers are flying. Dragon Master Fire Emperor, Bird Official Emperor. The original writing is the clothing. Push the position to give way to the country, and there is Yu Tao Tang. ”

Lang Lang's reading came to an abrupt end. The schoolchildren stood in place, looking at the silent Mr. Lu with a little expectation. Eventually, they saw the hands turned behind their backs, and the ruler hidden in the sleeves of their shirts.

"You-" A soft sigh sounded in the quiet courtyard, and the corners of Mr. Xiao Lu's mouth rose into a helpless smile.

"It's so nice to memorize. ”

Laughter erupted in the courtyard. The group of schoolchildren understood that their husband was not really angry, and they all relaxed and gathered towards him.

"Sir, sir!" said the same schoolboy who had started earlier, raised his little face at him, and pretended to be obedient, "Since we have all memorized the book, did the gentleman bring us back with peanut cakes to reward us?"

Facing the eager eyes of the children, Mr. Xiao Lu just smiled and said slowly: "Oh? It turns out that you obediently endorse the book to please me to eat peanut cakes? If I say no, will you not do your homework well next time?"

As soon as these words came out, the schoolchildren were anxious, and they all shook their heads to deny it. In particular, the schoolboy who hit the head blushed a little, scratched the top of his head in embarrassment, and said, "Of course not! Sir's peanut cake is the best in the world!"

Poof—

"Little glutton. ”

Mr. Xiao Lu in front of him finally laughed. He took out the oiled paper bag from his wide sleeve and opened it, broke some of it with a square scarf and left it for himself, handing the rest to the schoolchildren.

"Take it and divide it. ”

The children around him raised their arms and cheered. The one who took the oil paper bag in his hand and bowed to him, "Thank you, sir, sir is the best!"

"Thank you, sir—" The other schoolchildren bowed in thanks.

Mr. Xiao Lu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "After eating the peanut cake, you can pack up your things and go home for dinner." Don't be late for tomorrow's morning class. ”

"Got it, sir!"

The group of schoolchildren were eating sweet and delicious peanut cakes while happily cleaning up the stationery and books on their wooden tables. Mr. Xiao Lu looked at them, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and turned to tidy up the lectern above.

"Aunt Wu is right, although Mr. Xiao Lu looks cold, his heart is warm. Qi Ye, who was hiding behind the wooden door, bent his eyebrows when he saw all this, and whispered to Meng Yunsheng.

......

"Goodbye, sir!"

"Goodbye, see you tomorrow. ”

When the last schoolchild left the courtyard with a small bamboo basket on his back, Mr. Xiao Lu also cleaned up his bamboo basket and blew out all the candlesticks. He walked out of the private school, locked the courtyard door, and walked towards the moonlit field with the bamboo basket on his back.

Qi Ye and Meng Yunsheng came out of the darkness, only glanced at each other, and then followed lightly.

This time, the place where Mr. Xiao Lu is going is not far from Lu's private school. About a mile and a half away, he opened the wooden door of a house and shouted, "Daddy, daddy, I'm back." ”

Squeak –

The gray figure walked in and closed the wooden door tightly. Seeing this, the two green shadows that followed him flew down to the wall and looked down from above.

"Dad, I'm back. ”

There was a layer of moonlight in the courtyard, and a vague figure could be faintly seen. After a while, a little fire lit up. Mr. Xiao Lu took the candlestick and illuminated the old man who was sitting on the edge of the stone table.

"Dad, I've told you many times that you will light the menorah when it gets dark. Although it meant reproach, his tone was full of tenderness, and he placed the candlestick on the stone table and removed the bamboo basket from his body.

"Dad, Alu is talking to you, did Daddy hear me?"

The old man hunched his back and shook his head. He was holding a wine glass in his hand, his cheeks were red, his cloudy eyes were facing Mr. Xiao Lu, and he grinned "hehe".

"Bright, bright, wine! Alu, drink, you drink......"

"Dad, you're drinking again. ”

Mr. Xiao Lu snatched the wine glass from the old man's hand and sniffed it, and became quite helpless, "It's still rice wine." Dad, this rice wine is very strong, so you can't drink too much. ”

Xu saw that the wine glass in his hand was snatched away, and the old man was also anxious. He clenched a fist and put it to his mouth, and said vaguely: "Wine, Alu, drink, it's delicious......"

Mr. Xiao Lu seemed to know what he meant, shook his head more and more helplessly, and took away the wine jug on the table, "Dad, I don't drink." Don't drink it, Alu brought you peanut cake. You eat peanut cake. ”

"Cake!" the old man stroked his palms, and the joy replaced the anxiety on his face. He clapped his hands and nodded desperately, "Okay, cake, good!

Everything was expected by Mr. Xiao Lu. He took some bamboo baskets and wine jugs and went into the back room, and another voice came out, "Father, I'll bring it to you right away." If Dad still wants to eat in the future, he must obediently listen to Alu. The wine is no longer drinkable. ”

I don't know if the old man understood, just sat on the stone chair and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Good, cake, eat, cake ......"

The shadow of the tree at the head of the wall just obscured the light and dark blue. Qiye looked at the scene below, opened his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

A sigh fell between the shadows of the trees, "It's not easy to teach in a private school alone, but I didn't expect there to be such an idiot father at home." This Mr. Xiao Lu is much tougher than I thought. ”

Qiye turned his head to look at him, and was about to speak, when he heard another voice coming from the inner room below.

"Dad, the peanut cake is here!"
