353 , examination book
There are few people in Xiaoxiao’s generation who know what happened back then. Even their parents rarely talk about the past.
In other words, those fathers did not understand the reason for the real decline of the Chu family.
In Youqing's words, "It disappeared little by little. One autumn, when my mother sent someone to buy autumn brocade in the silk shop, she realized that she could not see a autumn brocade in the entire Kyoto."
But the brocade in Xiaoxiao's hand looks like a new cloth on the bottom of the box. Even if you have never used it, it is always covered with an old atmosphere.
"Where did you buy this brocade?" Youqing said, "I'll go back and tell my mother to go and go to the shop to buy a few clothes for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out why she was lying: "It was my eldest aunt who sent it here. She has always come to Shandong and Shanxi to run around. Who knows where she bought it?"
Youqing stopped asking, but just smiled and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Could it be that the mountain leader still want to keep us in the village for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"I promised to go back to Mid-Autumn Festival, and school will start on August 16th," Ruicai said.
"Today is the seventh day of the lunar month. It's only eight days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is no instruction in the school. Youqing looked at the Ni Festival where he was busy. "Many students are busy. It is said that some young people in the village have already followed the carriages of some students to Kyoto."
What to do in Kyoto? It’s just to be an apprentice and a mate in those shops. Although it’s also a way to make money, if every family does this, the end of Dawangzhuang is to become an empty village, with only left-behind elderly people and left-behind children left in the village.
Youqing looked at it and smiled: "The small baskets that Yingyuan made are so beautiful. Could it be that they want to take the villagers out to sell the baskets? Those exquisite gadgets are also easy to sell in Kyoto."
Xiaoxiao shook her head: "These rural things will definitely not be popular when they are sold in Kyoto, and I am afraid that no one will recognize the goods."
"Will you sell it in the town?" Youqing asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Xiaoxiao didn't like Youqing's way of asking questions.
Several girls were talking about these things, and the school sent a teacher into the yard to issue new instructions.
This news is undoubtedly explosive: after the tenth day of August, free activities will not be allowed, so students are asked to hurry up in the past few days to do everything they want, and all activities such as communicating with their homes and sending things will be stopped.
Youqing looked at the strange gentleman in front of him timidly: "Mr. Shanzhu is thinking..." As he said that, he looked at Nijie, hoping that some information would be found at this time of helping the school.
But Ni Jie just asked, "Can't students communicate with each other?"
The gentleman nodded affirmatively: "It will not be possible to get together like you at that time."
"Is this... going to take the exam?" Youqing finally couldn't help asking.
"It's almost the same... It's the right thing to do when I've been warming my books over the past few days." The gentleman left this sentence and left.
The remaining four people looked at each other in the room, and Ruicai said first: "Closing everyone in the yard and not letting them come out for five days can really be comparable to Qiu Xian."
"So many days, what are the directors going to take exams for us? "Youqing was the most anxious.
Xiaoxiao disagreed: "I hope it's a basket test~"
Ni Jie couldn't help but smile: "Take martial arts book~"
"I still want to stay in the fields on the mountain for a few more days," Ruicai pouted, "Besides, I haven't read the textbooks throughout the summer. If I take the knowledge in the school, I will definitely lose the blame!"
When Youqing heard this, she was extremely anxious: "Textbook exam?! That's true. In summer, the mountain leader said that this year is hot, and a word made everyone take a vacation in advance, even the exam was exempted... The relationship is to settle the score after the autumn."
Xiaoxiao was also confused by the few people. Chief Tong Shanshan was too unreliable. Is this a game of luring the tiger away from the mountain with everyone? I remembered the textbook that had been abandoned for two or three months, and I gave up and said, "Anyway, I have forgotten it all. Even now I can't read anyway. I have to hurry up and finish what I want to do! There are only three days left!"
As the few people were talking, two female students from other yards came over to inquire: "Have you heard about it? The exam will be in three days! Who of you brings the textbook?!"
"Who brings that thing..." the four people spoke in unison.
When I first lied to everyone out, I clearly said that I was here to attend the summer camp... After a few days of purgatory rural life, I suddenly said that the theme of ours is actually to take the exam without the textbook and not read for three months. What I can remember is the unforgettable stuff...
Youqing suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered something, I have to go back to my residence, you guys will talk first." Then he lifted the curtain and went.
A senior sister from an outer school responded quickly: "Those senior sisters who opened the school must have brought books! They can learn and love to learn on weekdays, and they often keep their textbooks. Let's borrow books from them!"
Needless to say, Youqing must have gone to the school to borrow books from his senior sister.
The original three people were left in the room, and Ruicai was the first to break the silence: "What are we doing in these three days?"
"I don't have time to go to read books. There are many things about Dawangzhuang that have not been done yet, so I can't calm down to read books." Xiaoxiao looked at the Dan Qiuwenjin on the table, and couldn't help but feel anxious. He simply walked around the house: "I will reply to my mother tonight, plus Baoshan's affairs, the third grandfather's affairs, the Thirteenth aunt's affairs, and the Xiaowangzhuang family made old pottery jars, and the Du Yu's family planted sweet apples... Three days are far from enough!"
Ni Jie looked at it and smiled for a while, rubbed her eyes: "I made you dizzy."
Xiaoxiao was not dizzy and picked up his notebook and charcoal pen from the table: "I have to rush to Xiaowangzhuang now! Many experiments have not been done yet, and many things have not been explained! You two should rest first, there is tea on the table, and there is a little fun in the kitchen..."
Ruicai: "Go and go, don't worry..."
Nishi:...
Ruicai looked at Xiaoxiao who was hurriedly walking out of the yard through the window: "Yingyuan is crazy... If I really want to take the exam, I have to find a way to warm up my books. My foundation is not good."
Ni Jie put the martial arts script in her hand aside: "Thinking of this, I have not done some things yet, so it's better to take advantage of these three days to deal with them clearly."
"I'll send a message to my family to send a book tomorrow," Ruicai stood up and prepared to leave the house. "By the way, I bought big fish at the market today. I plan to pack big fish at night. I'll cut some fresh autumn leeks from the vegetable garden to make fillings. You and Yingyuan both come to eat it in the evening."
"It's hard for you to be very heart-wrenching." Ni Jie has always liked to eat foods like wontons.
"Anyway, there are no books at hand, so what's the point of worrying about it now," Ruicai smiled. "If you want to be so angry, it's our Yingyuan. She doesn't even bother to let her books be delivered at home."
Ni Jie didn't feel a smile: "Let's go, I'll go back with you to pack it?? I went to the market to buy some fresh mushrooms, and let's pack some mushroom stuffing."
"Wow, I'm helping with schools and buying vegetables in the market..."
"Everyone has to eat and all have to live."
...
The big fish is very delicious, with a thin skin and a big filling, and it floats chubbyly in the delicious soup. Xiaoxiao ate a big bowl in one breath.
"Rui Cai, when did you learn this filling mixing technique? It's so delicious, it's better than what is made in a big Kyoto restaurant~" Xiaoxiao didn't eat enough, and then scooped one out of the pot to eat. It was big, and one was comparable to a small bun. The girl's house was full after eating five or six.
Aunt Jin, the "headmaster" in Ruicai yard, brought out a large bowl of freshly cooked ones: "Try this again! The mushroom-fried chicken stuffing!"
Ruicai smiled and blinked: "How could I have such superb skills? These two things are made by Aunt Jin, and I and the student assistant just helped me to pack them."
"Aunt Jin's skills can open a restaurant in Kyoto." Ni Jie said sincerely. Today's... is very suitable for her appetite.
"Kyoto?" Aunt Jin was unconscious, "Why did I go there from a long distance? The golden nest and silver nest are not as good as the grass nest at home, so I will guard my grass nest."
"Why don't Aunt Jin go to the market to sell it?" Xiaoxiao also asked.
"Oh, it's a long time to say it," Aunt Jin sat down, but she was not idle, using a bridle to heat up everyone's bowls. "A few years ago, my family sold it and couldn't make a lot of money, but they just made a living. In that year, when the price of meat increased, ours could only rise. If we cut corners, we were afraid that we would not be able to make the original taste..."
Aunt Jin didn't say it anymore, but everyone understood it. It must be that Aunt Jin's family either raised the price or insisted on losing money to gain publicity in order to stick to the original taste. Naturally, the business was squeezed out by other merchants.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Xiaoxiao smiled and changed the topic: "Aunt Jin must be able to make other delicious foods, right?"
Aunt Jin smiled and said, "I haven't learned to cook, but I can cook some country food. I'll give you a salty green onion tomorrow. Not to mention the distance, no one in this Dawangzhuang is better than me!"
No. 9 Courtyard also used to make salty food. At that time, Dantai Furong was still there. Unfortunately, the salty food was made unevenly thin and slightly sticky, and the taste was very average.
Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly: "Then I will come to Aunt Jin to eat salty food tomorrow!"
Ruicai took a sip of the soup: "Your heart is so big."
"What?" Xiaoxiao bit off the mushroom chicken in front of her, and felt that the fragrance was coming, and the taste was not inferior to that big fish at all.
Ruicai said seriously: "Anyway, I will review the book tomorrow."
"Where is helping with students, I need to review my books?" Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that in the important study sessions, Nijie had made a lot of martial arts scripts, and they were selling them while reading, which was so free and easy.
"I'll go to Fengqiu tomorrow." Ni Jie said.
"Where is Fengqiu?" Ruicai didn't know.
Xiaoxiao knew: "Fengqiu is at the southernmost end, and it is another town. Unfortunately, I still have a lot of things to do these days, otherwise I will definitely go with the school aid."
