Things like this happen every day at Jinyang Academy.
But the protagonist changes every day. Today it may be Xia Hongwei, tomorrow it may be Xia Hongji, the day after tomorrow it may be Xia Lingxuan, and the day after tomorrow it may be Zhao Yingyi.
The only thing that remains unchanged is Xia Hongda who never tires of doing things.
"Hey, look, look, that nerdy Xia Hongda has been subdued by his idiot brother again."
After the man finished speaking, he found that everyone was looking at him.
"What's wrong? What are you all looking at me for?"
"Are you going to die? How dare you talk about Xia Hongda?"
"What a joke! Don't you know he's a nerd? His personality is even worse than Xia Hongwei's."
Everyone around him had an expression of sympathy for him.
Someone patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are still young."
"Xia Hongda is a more terrifying person than anyone else in the Xia family."
"Do you know why I am punished to copy every day?"
"Do you know why the teacher calls me daddy and mommy?"
"Do you know why I didn't do well on the test?"
Hmm? My poor test results have nothing to do with Xia Hongda, right?
The person who had just spoken so arrogantly immediately felt a little regretful.
"Is Xia Hongda really that scary?"
"Yeah, it's scary and urgent. Because this guy... he's very sinister, so you better take care of yourself..."
A few days later, the man was assigned to sweep toilets for ten days, and he finally believed it.
In Jinyang Academy, you can mess with the Overlord, you can mess with the rich young master, but you can't mess with Xia Hongda, the academy teacher's beloved child!
"Our last exam is an essay. After you finish and hand in your answer sheet, you can help clean up. Three days later, take your answer sheet home and let your parents take a good look at it."
"ah……"
"Master..."
"Is this still a New Year's Eve?"
"Master, can I apply not to go home?"
"Now you remember to call your father and mother, what were you doing before? Where are your skills in teasing chickens and catching birds? Remember, you have to get your father to sign this test paper and bring it back."
After the Master finished speaking, there was another round of complaints from the audience.
Even a good student like Xia Hongda couldn't help but get nervous.
…
The teacher naturally ignored them and just asked his disciples to hand out the test papers.
Three days later, everyone went home with their test papers marked by the teacher.
On the way, the four sons of the Xia family and Zhao Yingyi and their companions all looked like eggplants hit by frost.
Xia Hongwei saw that the Haozailai Restaurant was just across the street, so he stopped immediately.
Xia Hongda looked at him and asked, "Second Brother, why don't you leave?"
Xia Hongwei swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother, how about we run away?"
Xia Hongji also said, "That's right, big brother. Second brother is right. Taking this back will definitely make mother angry."
Xia Lingxuan said calmly, "Maybe the old illness will relapse."
Zhao Yingyi also hurriedly said: "Si Ni'er said that Auntie's old illness will relapse. Why don't we burn all the papers?"
After they finished speaking, they all looked at Xia Hongda, as if they would throw away the test papers immediately if he gave the order.
But Xia Hongda didn't play by the rules. He just smiled and said, "In that case, give me all your test papers and I'll keep them."
None of the children reacted yet. After all, they just thought that as long as it was not in their hands, it would be fine.
Xia Hongda put away the test papers and said to them, "Uncle Jin said a long time ago that Mom's illness won't put her life in danger. On the contrary, if she knew that you lied to her and hid the truth from her, it would really make her sad."
After saying that, he pulled the second brother away. Among them, the second brother had the highest fighting power.
As long as the second brother is controlled and doesn't cause trouble, the rest will definitely listen to the eldest brother Xia Hongda.
The third brother, Xia Hongji, sensed something was wrong and turned to leave.
"Where are you going, Xia family's third son?"
Xia Hongji looked up and saw that this was Mrs. Zheng who often appeared in their noodle shop.
The one covering her mouth and laughing next to them was Sister Xiaotao, the sister they had met on the way to escape the famine.
The boss Xia Hongda heard the sound and turned around.
"Madam, Sister Xiaotao."
"Hongda, are you on annual leave? Come on, I'm going to go find your mother and the others."
So Mrs. Zheng hugged the third child, Xiao Tao took Si Ni'er and Zhao Yingyi, and the group hurried back to the restaurant.
Today is the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, and the academy will not open until the 16th day after the New Year.
It was just after noon, and most of the diners in the restaurant had already eaten their fill.
Now is the time for Xia Manni and the guys to have dinner.
"Hey, what brings you all here?"
Xia Hongda reminded: "Mom, today is the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, our day off."
Xiao Tao also reminded with a smile: "Sister Xia, isn't our wife here to discuss the New Year's Eve dinner with you today?"
It turns out that Xia Manni has specially launched a New Year’s Eve dinner service because of the Chinese New Year.
You can ask the chef from the restaurant to cook for you at your house.
But Mrs. Zheng did not arrange it for herself, but for the family of Prefect Zheng.
Later, Xia Manni found out that Zheng Yingyan and Madam Zheng were cousins who had been blessed with many fortunes.
However, because the two families had always lived in Jin'an, Zheng Yingyan had only one grandmother to raise her since she was a child.
Therefore, as Zheng Yingyan's aunt, she took on the responsibility of taking care of Zheng Yingyan's daily life.
Madam Zheng joked, "I've been here eight times this month, and I've never seen you idle."
Xia Manni smiled and replied, "Mrs. Zheng, look at what you said. I'm so happy that you're taking care of my business."
Mrs. Zheng is really supportive. She brought her old man today and her sisters tomorrow.
Sometimes I will introduce you to a few shop owners.
She didn't come just to eat, but more often she came to talk to Xia Manni to relieve her boredom.
Xia Manni speaks frankly, works efficiently, and often has clever ideas that they can't imagine.
When she heard that Xia Manni was going to open a branch, Mrs. Zheng said she wanted to add a shareholder.
Gradually, the two of them became close friends regardless of age difference.
Xia Manni felt that Mrs. Zheng's ideas were still very avant-garde in this dynasty.
She has two children, a son and a daughter, and she has never believed that a woman should take care of her husband and children.
Even after they became familiar with each other, he said many "outrageous" words to her.
Mrs. Zheng also said to her: "I am only saying these things to you, but you can't let my old man and my stupid son know about it."
Sometimes Xia Manni even wondered if Madam Zheng had traveled through time like her.
Xia Manni heard from Mrs. Zheng that their family used to be in business, but they stopped after their son joined the army.
Only Zheng Yingyan's family has been officials for generations.
Mrs. Zheng laughed and said, "Haha, stop joking. You haven't seen the children for a month. Come on, get some time together."
Mrs. Zheng said this while winking at Xia Manni.
Xia Manni nodded imperceptibly.
Xia Hongda: ...
