Chapter 18 The Great Devil Xiaoshanzhang

The six people didn't even have the interest to roll their eyes when they heard her say this.

How could she have the nerve to say such things? She had no idea what she had done to them during this period of time.

Who could see them reciting? They were clearly cursing, saying that Xiao Shan had a tooth stuck when drinking water and didn't bring toilet paper when going to the toilet...

Forget it! The six men remembered in time that they were men and decided not to argue with the hill chief.

An Xin discovered that there were two guys with deep ambitions among them. They had been intensively taught knowledge points by him during this period, and their handsome faces turned pale from exhaustion.

This shows how miserable the other students were.

An Xin, feeling guilty, left a final sentence: "I won't give you any homework tonight. Go back and have a good sleep. I'll start teaching the Five Classics tomorrow."

"ah--"

"The big devil is not a human being. She won't leave us any chance to survive!" There were howls and sounds of venting, and An Xin walked towards the backyard with brisk steps.

When she met some new students aged twelve or thirteen on the road, they all bowed to her and greeted her.

"Hello, Headmaster!"

"Yes!" An Xin responded, "No family is here to pick you up, so be careful when you get home from school."

"Okay, Headmaster."

The six young men who had just walked out of the school building couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw the woman treating the new student with a friendly face.

They must have dug up the ancestral graves of Xiaoshanchang's family, otherwise she would not be so kind to others, but only to them, with fatal discipline.

An Rui was not one of those who had this idea, because the ancestral graves of his two cousins ​​were in the same place, and he was embarrassed to dig them with the others.

The main reason was that An Rui was afraid that his ancestors would invite him to chat in the evening.

*With the arrival of hot summer, Lin'an County is located in the south.

The classroom was not well ventilated and lacked modern electric fans and air conditioners. An Xin found that everyone was sweating profusely during class.

She looked into the yard and saw Da Zhuang and Uncle Yong, the gatekeeper, trying to drive the cicadas away with long bamboo poles because they were afraid that the cicadas would disturb the students.

"Take your books and go to the pavilion to study. It's not far from the pond, so it should be cooler there."

After saying this, An Xin put her hands behind her back and walked towards the backyard. She was feeling hot and thirsty. She remembered that yesterday when Aunt Gu and Da Zhuang came back from buying vegetables, they said that someone in the county town was already selling winter melons.

I asked her if she wanted to buy some to cool off in such a hot day.

As An Xin was not short of money, he of course agreed to the two people's proposal.

After buying it, An Xin discovered that the flower-skinned melon, which people here call the cold melon, is the modern watermelon, but it is much smaller than the melons cultivated nowadays.

The largest one is only as big as a small ball.

When An Xin bought them in the morning, he asked them to put them in a basket and then put it in the well to cool. It should be just right to cut them and eat them now.

Qingfeng, who is always steady in his work, saw An Xin coming back with sweat all over her head, so he fetched a basin of water for her to wash.

"Go and fetch three watermelons that were placed in the well this morning. One for you, Mingyue, Aunt Gu from the kitchen, and one for Dazhuang and Uncle Yong.

I sent one to my second uncle, who distributed it to the students. I cut the other melon into pieces and took it away later.

There is only one left. My second aunt will come back from the embroidery shop tonight and send it to their family."

After An Xin washed her face with clean water, she felt refreshed and turned around to give instructions.

"Yes!" Qingfeng bowed and went down to do as he was told.

An Xin sat by the window and drank a cup of tea. Mingyue came in with a tray of sliced ​​watermelons. "Master, this is the winter melon you asked for."

"Where's Qingfeng?"

"Today is the day for the kitchen to reconcile accounts, and Aunt Gu called her away."

An Xin nodded and took Mingyue to the front yard.

Mingyue pursed her lips and said, "Master, this melon is not cheap~"

An Xin saw Mingyue's distressed expression and knew what she wanted to say, "Occasionally, your master can still afford it."

Mingyue finally felt relieved. They had followed the young lady since they were young. Only when the young lady was well could they, the servants, live well.

Although the young lady said that she wanted to set up her own household in the future after she woke up that time, and that calling her young lady was too weak in terms of prestige, she asked everyone to call her master instead.

After that, I became less weak and more independent.

This made these slaves find their backbone again.

The two walked along the corridor and came to the front yard.

An Xin saw the lotus pond from afar. The blooming lotus flowers were swaying gracefully, and a gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it bursts of fragrance.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

In the pavilion, apart from Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai who were leaning against the pillars and reading a book, the other four had completely let themselves go without anyone supervising them.

The golden abacus that Zhu Shijing always carried with him made a comeback, and his slender fingers were happily fiddling with it.

This kid must have learned to count the abacus beads as soon as he learned to walk, otherwise he wouldn't be so good at using the abacus.

Jiang Zhou was sitting on a stone bench next to him. He was lying on the stone table and snoring softly, as if he was trying to make up for the sleep he had missed recently.

This kid is also competitive.

The two kids who were originally at the bottom of the class, after An Xin gave them tea that could clear their minds, gradually fell behind him in their studies.

Not only is he not as smart and talented in studying as the other three, but he can also be surpassed by the naive An Rui and the talkative little fat boy Liu Boxing.

How could Jiang Zhou, who was both aloof and sharp-tongued, accept this?

As a result, he doesn't need An Xin to urge him much these days. He just competes with himself and his enthusiasm for learning is extremely high.

An Rui and Liu Boxing huddled together, one of them chattering non-stop while the other listened foolishly, and when they talked about something interesting, the two of them would smile ambiguously, capturing the characters of the chatterbox and the naive and innocent person perfectly.

An Xin turned away without looking at them, and asked Mingyue to pass the tray to him. "It's so hot, you should go back and eat the cold melon with Qingfeng and the others."

"Yes!" Mingyue bowed and retreated.

Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai heard the noise and looked over. When they saw the watermelon on the tray in An Xin's hand, their eyes lit up.

They all knew that this kind of cold melon was very good at cooling off. As for the high price, the others in the pavilion, except Leng Xiangbai, really didn't care.

An Xin placed the tray on one of the few empty spots on the stone table. "Whoever wants to eat can take it. As for the person who is sleeping, we will help him eat."

Jiang Zhou was dozing off, but he was not fast asleep. He woke up when he heard the noise, opened his handsome eyes and glanced at An Xin.

Turning on the venomous tongue function, "Haha, when did the headmaster become so nice to us? He won't give us more homework after we finish eating, will he?!"

An Xin blinked at him, pinched her throat, and prepared to disgust him, "Yes! If you are afraid, don't eat it."

"Ugh!!!" Jiang Zhou made a disgusted expression, turned around and saw the other people all picked up the winter melon and started eating it. They stopped arguing with An Xin and started fighting for the melon.

No matter whether there is more homework or not, just eat it first.

In such hot weather, if you have such a good cold melon to cool off, you would be a fool not to eat it.
