Chapter 104 Examination
???
What day?
Dadan and Erdan looked at each other in bewilderment.
Daya was the first to react. She turned around and met her uncle's gaze.
Li Baisong raised his eyebrows and gave Daya a smile as warm as the spring breeze.
"Grandma, what day is today?" Erdan asked nervously, feeling like something bad was going to happen.
"A month's time is up, and it's time for your quiz." Qin Fangci used the most loving tone to speak the coldest and cruelest words. "The last one will be fined ten cents and will have to stay at home. You can't enter the city this time."
"ah!!!"
The children collectively shouted.
Everyone was like ants on a hot pan, running around in circles.
"Grandma, do we have to take the test now?" Erdan thought quickly, "Can we wait a little longer?"
Dadaner nodded and said, "Yes, yes, wait a moment."
They are the ones who have the mentality of cramming at the last minute.
Qin Fangci was very easy to talk to. She waved her hand and said with a smile, "Go ahead. I'll give you half an hour. It will start in half an hour."
"Grandma is so nice." Dadan and Erdan cheered and ran to the corner.
The eldest, second and third girls, Li Yulan, also ran away quickly.
Seeing her older brother and sister running, Si Ya thought they were going to play some fun game again, so she followed them on her short legs. Li Bosong picked her up and said, "Can I play with you?"
"Okay." Si Ya also liked playing with her uncle. She clapped her hands and tilted her head to look at her uncle.
"I'll take you to make a bamboo dragonfly. You can fly into the sky with one spin. It's so much fun."
"Wow, fly!" Si Ya kicked and struggled in Li Bosong's arms, "Fly, Master!"
"It's not the kind of Feifei that Grandpa Pan played with you, it's another kind of Feifei." Li Baisong took Si Ya and called on Li Lao Da, Li Lao Er and Li Lao San for help.
The eldest and second Li Lao were both dejected and bored, but they didn't dare not go.
The remaining Yuan and Wang were a little nervous and looked at Du with envy.
Mrs. Du had rarely received such looks from her sisters-in-law before, and felt a little helpless. "Mom, I'm going to the backyard to check on the pigs and chickens."
It's okay since the duck is grown up, but the chicken has just hatched and I'm afraid it will be crushed to death by the hen.
"Go ahead." Qin Fangci nodded.
"Mother?" Yuan asked tentatively, "Can I go into the city tomorrow?"
"You all need to get up early tomorrow and go pick a couple of baskets of vegetables to sell in the city. Set up a stall over at the market. You and the second brother have been to the second brother's house before, so you and your third brother and sister-in-law will set up a stall together tomorrow."
Yuan's heart fell back into her stomach. She patted her chest and said cheerfully, "Don't worry, mother. I know that the price of vegetables won't go up these days. Mother, we don't need to tie too big a bunch. We can sell them for one penny a bunch."
This makes it easier to calculate money.
"Okay, you two can discuss it."
When Si Ya's bamboo dragonfly flew into the sky, half an hour was up.
I have never felt that time passes so quickly.
Everyone who was squatting in the corner and working hard was sweating.
"Grandma, I'll be fine soon."
"Mom, can you give us a little more time for tea?"
Qin Fangci looked at the sky and decisively refused, "If you don't come over, I will directly declare you all unqualified. Everyone stay at home."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people swarmed over.
There was a table in the yard. Li Baisong took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote the four words "天地玄黄" (The Mysterious World of Heaven and Earth) neatly.
"Big Egg, you write first."
"Ah, uncle, shouldn't we start with aunt?"
Aunt Li Yulan patted her careless nephew and said, "Your uncle is calling you, go quickly."
"Boys come first." Li Baisong explained lightly.
Dadan took a deep breath and walked to the table under the gaze of the whole family, imitating what Li Baisong had just said about picking up the pen and dipping it in ink.
The stroke was very good, not too much ink, and no black lumps were dripping.
His arm trembled slightly as he looked over and over again to check if his uncle's strokes were straight, and then he wrote a horizontal stroke crookedly.
Li Laoer and Yuan frowned.
"Why is it so ugly?" Yuan couldn't help muttering. She usually told this boy to practice well, but today he was still using his feet to gesture in the rice field, and it turned out like this?
That's ten cents.
Yuan felt distressed. It would be fine if she didn't go to the county town, but the fine was really a pain in the ass.
Earning little...
One horizontal stroke after another, one left stroke after another...
After writing these four words, Dadaner broke into a sweat again.
The moment I put down the pen, I felt like all my energy was drained away.
Dadaner looked towards his uncle, and Li Bosong said coldly, "Next, Erdaner."
After reading what his elder brother wrote, Erdan had an idea in his mind. He wrote better than his elder brother.
He picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, then wrote a horizontal stroke fluently, completing the word "天" in one go. Erdan dipped the pen in ink again and continued.
This is good.
The adults all nodded, the contrast obvious.
Dadan looked at his younger brother with his mouth open. Didn’t they practice together?
Why can my younger brother write so neatly?
Did he practice secretly?
The brotherhood was in crisis at this moment.
Erdaner put down his pen with satisfaction after finishing writing.
Next is Li Yulan.
Li Yulan was also very nervous. She seemed to have been slacking off recently.
How to say it, the enthusiasm for studying will naturally become full and slack and then encourage itself to become full and slack... She also has a headache, but she really can't always work as hard as her younger brother.
The first time it fell, it was as big as the big egg.
Dadan'er's eyes lit up, and he silently encouraged his aunt in his heart: You can't write well, you can't write well!
Li Yulan panicked for a moment, and still couldn't write the second stroke well. It was not until the third stroke that she calmed down and wrote properly.
ah!
Dadan exclaimed in his heart, and encouraged himself to write faster. He couldn’t write well, he couldn’t write well, he couldn’t write well!
After Li Yulan comes Daya.
Daya took a deep breath, her mind firmed up, and she followed the movements with her hands, picking up the pen and dipping it in ink, neither hurried nor slow. There was only paper and pen in her eyes, and only four words in her mind.
The writing was straight and even, better than anyone else's before it.
"Ah?!" Dadan exclaimed, "How can it be written so well?"
Mrs. Du was proud of it and looked at Daya with pride and satisfaction, her eyes red again.
Boss Li was also surprised for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "Why does a girl have to write so well?"
Qin Fangci glared at him, and Boss Li immediately covered his mouth and moved behind Du.
Daya put down her pen, there was no pride in her eyes. She was still far from being as good as her uncle.
After Da Ya came Er Ya. With her sister as a role model, Er Ya finished writing immersedly and handed the pen to San Ya.
San Ya is still young and her wrists don't have that much strength. She tried very hard but still accidentally wrote a dot of ink.
San Ya started crying after she finished writing.
Dadaner became happy, "It's Sanya, Sanya's writing is uglier than mine, hahaha, if Sanya stays at home, I won't be the last one."
San Ya originally wanted to hold back her tears, but when she heard what Dadan said, her tears started to flow down.
Daya and Erya hugged their sister together and patted her soothingly.
