Chapter 645: Qingming Festival



"Understood, Master."

The students answered weakly.

But what I thought in my heart was completely different.

Master Wang was also helpless. Since they didn't listen to his advice, no matter how much he said, it would be useless. He was just a teacher. He just had to do his job well. He couldn't care less about other things.

When the bell rang, everyone became restless, but they were intimidated by Master Wang's majesty and did not dare to act rashly.

"Okay, today's class ends here. After you go back, each of you should write an essay titled 'A Gentleman Values ​​His Completeness' and hand it in tomorrow."

Hearing the wailing behind him, Master Wang felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Pei Fei and Zhou Da immediately surrounded Gu Xueting and said, "Gu Jiu, I'll leave the homework that the teacher assigned to you. Don't let me down!"

Pei Fei patted Gu Xueting on the shoulder.

Zhou Da was much more honest than him. "Gu Jiu, come on, I'll treat you to some braised food. After you finish eating, I'll leave my brother's homework to you."

Zhou Da's mother was from the Gu family. In terms of seniority, she was Gu Xueting's aunt, so the two were cousins.

Zhou Da calls himself the brother, but he is not taking advantage of Gu Xueting.

Xiao Shunzi had received Zhou Da's instructions and was waiting in an open space at the back of the classroom.

There is a huge cloud pine planted here, with a stone table and stone benches underneath, where a small group of three people often gather.

Due to the identities of the three of them, no one else dared to come here. Over time, this place became their exclusive territory.

After sitting down, Zhou Da opened the oil paper bag, and immediately, the fragrance filled the air.

He directly picked up a large piece of bone and started chewing it, enjoying it very much.

Seeing this, Gu Xueting and Pei Fei also took the ones they were interested in and tried them.

After trying it, the result is predictable.

The taste buds were instantly captured.

"Hey, why are you eating so fast? Leave some for me."

Zhou Da couldn't help feeling a little regretful and hurriedly protected an oil-paper bag and refused to let go.

Gu Xueting and Pei Fei looked at each other, and together they scratched his armpits and successfully snatched the oil paper bag away.

The three of them were enjoying their meal, and Shen Yizi, who had returned home and was counting his money, was also very happy.

She was originally worried that the braised food would not sell well——

Although the taste of homemade braised food is indeed excellent, good things may not necessarily sell well.

But now it seems that she was worrying too much.

In just one morning, the two large pots of braised food on Shen Xing's shoulder pole were sold out!

The customers who didn’t buy the item were quite disappointed and told them to come back tomorrow.

In the main room, Shen Xing held the rope for Shen Yizhi and watched her string the copper coins on one by one.

A string of coins was worth one hundred coins, and there were already seven or eight strings piled up nearby.

In the end, there were still some scattered copper coins left, and Shen Yizi didn't care about them.

"The total is 2 taels, 3 cents and 58 coins! After deducting the 2 taels cost, we made a total of 358 coins!"

Wow! Shen Xing was surprised and delighted, "Really? That's great! We won't have to go hungry anymore!"

In the past, he worked as a runner for people in the hotel. If he was lucky, he could earn more than ten or twenty cents a day. If he was unlucky, he might not get a single penny and could only take home some leftovers.

But now, not only do they live in a big house, my sister has found a great master, and my mother has started taking medicine, and she hasn't coughed in the past few days!

They also made so much money with their skills!

If they continue like this, they might be able to have their own house in the future, and he can save up a generous dowry for Zhizhi!

The more Shen Xing thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but grinning foolishly.

Shen felt amused and sad when she saw this. She patted his head and said, "Xiaoxing, you've been busy all morning. Are you hungry? I cooked a few eggs on the stove. Eat them to fill your stomach. And Zhizhi, you got up so early this morning. Are you sleepy? Eat the eggs and go to sleep for a while. I'll wake you up at noon."

After eating the eggs, the brother and sister were sent back to their respective rooms by Shen to rest.

She continued to do embroidery in the corridor.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed and the Shen family's braised food stall had become famous. Every day when the stall opened, customers flocked to it and bought up all the braised food in a blink of an eye. There was no need to shout at all.

The brother and sister made a lot of money and they were happy counting the money every day.

One day, when closing the stall, Shen Xing said to the customers: "Dear uncles, aunts, uncles, sisters-in-law, we will not be setting up the stall tomorrow."

"Ah? Why?"

"Hey, do you even need to ask this? Tomorrow is Qingming Festival, who doesn't have some deceased relatives who need to be commemorated?"

Shen Xing nodded: "Yes, tomorrow our family will go to the outskirts of the city to sweep the graves."

It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and the pedestrians on the road are heartbroken.

However, the actual situation is not at all as described in the poem. Today the weather is very good and it is a sunny day.

The sun was warm and comfortable. There were many people out for a walk on the road, and children were flying kites, kicking shuttlecocks, and playing Cuju. In Shen Yizhi's opinion, the Qingming Festival here is not only a festival to commemorate ancestors, but also a day for the living to relax and have fun.

Shen Yizi was looking at the map along the way and did find a few small treasures, but unfortunately they were either in public or in other people's graves. She couldn't dig them and had to give up.

This caused her to feel a little depressed when she returned.

Shen also seemed to be worried and didn't notice it for a while.

But Shen Xing, a boy, was not so delicate and sensitive. He was quite happy along the way. He pulled branches from a willow tree on the roadside to make a ring and put it on Shen Yizhizi's head.

At this moment, a horse rushed over from behind like crazy, and the man on the horse shouted, "Get out of the way!"

He himself could not control the horse and could only try his best to get pedestrians out of the way.

Shen Xing reacted quickly and immediately pushed Shen and Shen Yizhi aside.

When Crazy Horse passed by, Shen Xing recognized that the person on the horse was Mr. Gu who had helped him.

At that moment, he followed his inner thoughts, rushed forward and punched the horse's head with all his strength.

In the past month, he had eaten well and slept well every day. He had grown taller and stronger. He didn't know to what extent he could control the mad horse, but Master Gu had helped him before. Now he was in trouble, and he couldn't just sit back and watch! So, he took action!

At that moment, time seemed to slow down. The crazy horse's head was hit and dented, and it tilted heavily to the side. It continued to run forward for a while, and then fell to the ground with a bang. Gu Xueting, who was on the horse, took the opportunity to jump off. Apart from being a little frightened, he was not injured.
