The dog's leg had healed by Tuesday, but he still limped a bit.
When this fellow heard that Xianjin was taking the exam on cultural subjects, he was only 1.7 or 1.8 meters tall. Despite his disability, he walked over by himself, looked at the paper circled in red pen, and laughed arrogantly, "He only wrote ten words, and there are eight typos! He's worse than me!"
Xianjin: You also know that you suck...
Xianjin wanted to retort, but when he looked at Wang Sansuo, who was standing behind Zhou Ergou and was worried about Zhou Ergou's lame leg, he held back and said, "...The test is not about how many words you can recognize and write, but about your emotional state when facing crises and difficulties."
Xianjin handed over the test paper of "Sauce Elbow" and said, "This one showed his intelligence."
He handed over another paper with only twenty or so words written on it, but he wrote the words slowly and steadily, trying to write every word. "This one shows peace."
He handed over another paper with about ten words written on it. The cover of the paper was average and the handwriting was average.
Zhou Ergou watched for a long time and was speechless. "What this guy showed was that he was easy-going and real?"
He tapped the name at the top of the paper with his knuckles: Zhang Wenqiang.
The dog didn't understand on Tuesday.
Xian Jinyun said calmly, "This is Bo'er's cousin who is five generations apart in Huai'an Prefecture. He was forced to come here to learn a craft. He is demonstrating his backdoor skills."
Tuesday Dog:...
Finally, the number of people who entered the training camp was controlled at twenty, including the nine people who jumped over from Hengji and Baiji. Xianjin rented three mule carts and took all twenty young men to the Jixi workshop.
The Jixi workshop was completed and renovated a month ago. Two rows of houses were built in the yard, with eight pools of different sizes in the shed and five walls.
Aunt Zhong glanced at Xianjin: She finally knew what the Jixi workshop was used for.
Before, in the Jixi workshop, Xianjin wanted to build rows of houses, and everyone was puzzled; he wanted to build seven or eight pools, and everyone was puzzled; he wanted to build two kitchens and four toilets, and everyone thought Xianjin was crazy - now, it seems that Xianjin's chess pieces are in the open and are also in the lead.
The Jixi workshop is a training camp, a training camp exclusively for the Chen family.
Twenty fat boys stayed in the Jixi workshop. Aunt Zhong was the undisputed leader of the training group, Zheng Er was the deputy leader of technical strength, Zhou Ergou was the deputy leader of indiscriminate attack and swearing, Zheng Da was the deputy leader of mental attack, Li Sanshun was a visiting professor, and Mother Zhang was a life counselor (mainly instructing the two temporarily hired women on how to feed the twenty boys quickly and well). The two players who graduated from the previous training session, one was the squad leader and the other was the deputy squad leader, who were mainly responsible for training.
One naughty kid is enough to make a lot of trouble, and twenty teenage boys getting together can really shorten one's lifespan.
On the day the training camp started, Xianjin went to see it. He went there calmly, but came back angry because of breast hyperplasia - twenty guys were too lazy to take a shower, and the smell was unforgettable.
Xianjin originally thought that since Aunt Zhong was difficult to manage and there were so many of them, he might not be able to control her. But after waiting for a few days, he never heard Aunt Zhong complain or file a complaint.
During this period, Xianjin went there once. He went there in the morning when it was just dawn.
Xianjin hid in the corner and watched two rows of people rushing out of the row houses in a whistle. Aunt Zhong was already standing on the steps in shorts with her arms folded across her chest. She looked back at the clock and cursed, "...Numbers 11 and 20 are dawdling. What's wrong? Do they need to choose clothes or comb their hair into a bun and choose a hairpin? You are the slowest! Two more rounds!"
Xianjin turned around and whispered to Zhou Ergou, "Adding two laps is not bad, right?"
Zhou Ergou looked at Xianjin in disbelief, "...It's running around Longchuan Creek twice, almost reaching the eastern suburbs! It's not running around our workshop twice!"
Xianjin arched his waist even lower, extremely afraid of being discovered by Aunt Zhong.
Another whistle sounded, and twenty boys set out from the workshop door in unison and ran towards the east towards the rising sun.
The one running in the front was Aunt Zhong, who was wearing shorts and cotton-padded boots.
After two rounds, Aunt Zhong fell from the first place in the running team to the third place, but she was still firmly in the first echelon.
After three rounds, Aunt Zhong was still in the first tier.
After four rounds, Aunt Zhong was overtaken and fell to fifth place, but she also opened up a huge gap with the second echelon.
After running ten times back and forth, it was already dawn. Aunt Zhong, sweating and flushed, followed the first group back to the entrance of Jixi workshop. With her left hand, she took a clean handkerchief from Zheng Er to wipe her sweat, and with her right hand, she took the whip from Zheng Da's hand and swung it on the ground. Without a moment's hesitation, she turned around and began to scold the young man who was lagging behind and dragging his feet.
"Coward! Even women can't outrun you!"
"Whoever is last will not be allowed to have breakfast!"
"Run faster! If you drag on, I'll spank your thighs!"
Xianjin was so frightened that he looked back at Zhou Ergou.
Zhou Ergou turned his expression away expressionlessly, swallowed his saliva, and said expressionlessly, “Do you know what these guys call Sister Zhong?”
Xianjin shook his head like a rattle.
"Zhong Kui." Zhou Ergou let out a strange laugh. "Qi Qiqi even drew a portrait of Sister Zhong and pasted it on the bedside, saying it can ward off evil spirits."
You know what, Aunt Zhong and Zhong Kui might have been from the same family five hundred years ago.
Xianjin wanted to laugh, but was afraid of being discovered by Aunt Zhong and becoming a cowardly ghost who died tragically under the whip.
Aunt Zhong relied on her own strong strength to suppress this group of energetic young men.
The training camp has come to an end, but Xianjin still has a lot of things to do.
The first is a gift to Master Qin - the results of the autumn examination are posted, and Master Qin is on the list, successfully advancing to the rank of Juren;
Among the scholars brought by Chen Jianfang, two were also on the list. They came with large and small bags to thank Chen Jianfang. They carried three large bags when they came and five large bags when they left. They were all sent by Madam Qu.
Secondly, there was the account of the mulberry paper workshop. Whenever Xianjin was about to start working on it, Qu Qiushi would always jump out and ask Xianjin to climb Jingting Mountain today, and to visit the Wanguo Temple tomorrow. Sometimes, he would even invite Xianjin out for lunch at noon.
The clinic has no business, which is actually quite good.
But Xianjin also didn’t understand why Qu Qiushi could be so idle?
Basically, Qu Qiushi made three appointments and Xianjin agreed once. This time he was late and left early. In between, he would take out a soft pen and a notebook to jot down some things, creating the impression that "Xianjin was very busy."
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the atmosphere in Xuancheng is very good, with yellow lanterns and lantern towers lined up one after another.
After Qu Qiushi and Xianjin had a family dinner on August 15th, they released lanterns by the stream.
Xianjin didn't want to agree at first. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "It's a good opportunity to go out. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be the Spring Festival."
Qu Qiushi didn't quite understand, but when he heard that Xianjin was willing to go out, he excitedly started preparing three or four days in advance.
