094, Mr. Prediction
The day after the county exam, not many students in Class B returned to class.
Besides Lu Mingfei himself, Ye Zhuoran and Zhang Lingxuan also returned, and the other one was their senior brother. The rest did not return.
But this was also normal. The other few people had returned to their hometowns to take the exam. Even if their homes were near Gyeonggi Province, they would not be able to return to the city for classes until the next day or the day after tomorrow. As for why Cai Renjun, who was in the city, did not return to class, this was not something they needed to worry about.
On the first day of class at the private school, their teacher asked them to write down the answers to the exam papers they had taken a few days ago.
So during the two days after returning to class, they just wrote down the answers.
After looking at the dictation papers of the four of them, the teacher commented on their answers one by one.
According to their teacher's comments and predictions, the four of them had a high chance of passing the county exam. However, whether they would ultimately pass or not would depend on whether their names appeared on the list that was posted.
On the third day, Cai Renjun and four other classmates returned to the private school one after another. When they returned to class, they also wrote down the answers first.
The students who came back earlier were assigned to study in a different room. Their teachers would come to check on them from time to time. If they encountered any problems during their studies, they could ask their teachers for help.
There are still nine students in their Class B, but these nine people are divided into three factions.
Lu Mingfei, Ye Zhuoran, and Zhang Lingxuan played together. Cai Renjun hung out with four other classmates, not with them. Their senior brother was neutral, getting along well with both them and Cai Renjun.
However, Lu Mingfei didn't think their eldest brother was a fence-sitter. The main reason was that their eldest brother was their husband's son. Usually when their husband was busy with other things, it was their eldest brother who was responsible for supervising their studies. So if their eldest brother showed any bias towards one side, he might not be able to manage their group well.
Moreover, there are many private schools in Kyoto Prefecture, and the teachers who run these schools also rely on tuition fees from students to make a living. If their eldest brother offends Cai Renjun and his friends because of them, Cai Renjun and his friends may drop out of school and choose to study in other private schools. In this way, their teachers will lose a lot of students and their family's financial resources will also be reduced.
Therefore, Lu Mingfei would not ask their eldest brother to destroy his family's rice bowl. After all, only with students can their husband have income, and only then can their eldest brother and his wife's family have food to eat.
Although he and Ye Zhuoran disliked Cai Renjun, they never took the initiative to provoke others, and Cai Renjun's group didn't dare to provoke them easily. After all, Zhang Lingxuan, who stood with them, often had a cold face and looked very difficult to mess with. So they were not without support. Young Master Zhang was their big backer!
They didn't finish their county exams until mid-February, and the list of admitted students wouldn't be announced until early March. So for the next period of time, their teacher lectured as normal, but the content of his lectures was all related to the upcoming prefectural and academy exams.
During this period, Lu Mingfei was busy preparing for the upcoming exams, so he didn't help much with the housework. However, his father and mother didn't dare to ask him to help with anything. Even if he occasionally took his younger brothers to school, his father and mother were afraid that it would affect his study time.
However, Lu Mingfei didn't think it was a big deal. Even if he was studying, he didn't spend most of the day reading. He always had to do something else to relax his mind. When teaching the children at home, he found that Zhang Qi was particularly hardworking, but the other kids, perhaps because they were younger, were not as hardworking.
When he put these children together, he realized that his younger brother's IQ should be higher than the average child. This child is really smart. It's just that he is still young and has not yet established his potential. It seems that besides him being the only one who can study hard, there is also a second seedling in their family.
As for Lu Mingcong and Zhang Xiaobao, they are really stupid. These two guys have no talent for studying.
They say that a child's future can be seen from the age of three, and there is some truth to that.
Perhaps knowing he was busy with the upcoming exams, Zhao Lang had delivered something that day and hadn't appeared since. Or perhaps the young master was busy with something else, he thought.
***
Time flies and it is the tenth day of March, the day when the county examination results are posted.
Early that morning, just as the sky was getting light, Ye Zhuoran and Zhang Lingxuan came to his house to ask him to go and see the list. However, Lu Mingfei was still at home and hadn't even prepared to go out yet when these two people arrived.
He was just walking a little slower, but Ye Zhuoran urged him on: "Go on, go on, why are you so slow?"
"Don't worry, the list of those who passed or failed is out, we're just going to check it out." On the contrary, the closer the day got, the less anxious Lu Mingfei felt. Just as he said, if you passed, it would be on the list, and if you didn't, there was no point in worrying.
"Why aren't you in a hurry? Looking at the list is such an important matter, Lu Mingfei, your attitude is not good!" Ye Zhuoran grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand and led him out.
"Brother, take me there!" Lu Mingrui hugged his brother's legs with both hands. He also wanted to go out and play with his brother.
Lu Mingcong hugged his brother's other leg with both hands, he also wanted to go!
Zhang Qi followed behind with his younger brother Zhang Xiaobao. Zhang Qi was hesitating whether to go over and pull his two younger brothers apart and let their eldest brother go out to check the list.
In the end, Lu Mingfei had no choice but to take the two pendants on his legs and the two Zhang Qi brothers out of the door, and everyone got on the carriage of Ye Zhuoran and Zhang Lingxuan.
After getting in the car, Lu Mingfei discussed with Ye Zhuoran and Zhang Lingxuan: "Let's go to my adoptive father's restaurant for dinner first? I'll treat you to clay pot rice."
"No……"
"It's still early, and the list won't be posted that quickly. You're out so early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, right? We can check the list after you've had breakfast."
Seeing that Ye Zhuoran was about to refuse, Lu Mingfei blocked Ye Zhuoran's refusal with just one sentence.
"I've been wanting to invite you to our stall for a meal, but I never had the chance. Today, since I have some free time, I'll take you to my adoptive father's shop to eat clay pot rice." Mainly because Lu Mingfei felt it was still early and he didn't want to wait for the announcement so early, so he continued to persuade Ye Zhuoran to go to his adoptive father's shop. "You haven't had clay pot rice before, right? It's a layer of rice at the bottom, and a layer of Chinese sausage on top, then an egg, some vegetables, and sauce... The taste is just one word, delicious!"
"Then I'll go and have a try." In the end, Ye Zhuoran couldn't help swallowing his saliva after hearing what Lu Mingfei said about the clay pot rice.
When the carriage reached South Street, Lu Mingfei gave the driver directions and asked him to drive the carriage to the door of his adoptive father's shop. He got off the carriage first, and then took the three children off.
Zhang Qi was older, so he got off the carriage by himself without anyone helping him.
Later, Ye Zhuoran and Zhang Lingxuan also got off the carriage, and Lu Mingfei led everyone to the pancake shop owned by his adoptive father and mother.
The time they left was when the store was busiest, and there was no room left inside. After greeting his adoptive parents and ordering a clay pot rice, he brought Ye Zhuoran and Zhang Lingxuan to the backyard.
There are two tables here for their family and employees to eat.
After bringing Zhang Lingxuan and Ye Zhuoran over to sit down, Lu Mingfei said to them, "You sit here for a while. I'll go to our stall and get some food."
"I'll go with you." Ye Zhuoran couldn't sit still, so he stood up with Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei let Zhang Lingxuan stay here alone, and he took Ye Zhuoran out through the back door of the backyard.
As soon as you open the door, you will see their stall.
"Mom." When Lu Mingfei came out and saw his mother busy at the stall, he came over to greet her.
Seeing her eldest son and his classmates coming out from the back, Liu Sanniang asked in surprise, "Why did you come out from the back?"
"I brought Mingrui, Mingcong, Zhang Qi, Xiaobao and others out. They were playing in the yard, and Zhang Qi was watching them inside. I came here to get some food, and then I'll go over there with Zhuoran and Lingxuan to check the list." Lu Mingfei said to his mother.
"Hello, auntie." Ye Zhuoran came over to greet the elder.
Seeing so many people sitting here eating, Ye Zhuoran knew that the business of this small stall opened by Lu Mingfei's family was very good. As soon as he walked in here, he smelled a very fragrant smell, like the smell of meat?
"Okay." Liu Sanniang was no stranger to this young man who had been to their home several times. When she heard that her eldest son was coming to get food, she took a bowl to fill with braised food. She opened the large earthenware pot of cooking meat and asked her eldest son, "Would you like some braised meat?"
"Okay, have some. When you and Ling Xuan eat meat, do you prefer fatter or leaner ones?" Lu Mingfei turned around and asked Ye Zhuoran.
"Hmm, smells good!" Ye Zhuoran came over and smelled it, then he knew where the fragrant meat aroma came from. He saw that there was half a jar of meat in it and didn't want to eat it at first, but the smell was so fragrant that he said, "Just give us two pieces, lean ones." He and Zhang Lingxuan didn't like fatty meat.
"Okay. Do you think this piece is okay? It's very beautiful, with alternating fat and lean meat. It tastes neither bad nor greasy. The braised meat we make in our house is all made from good meat. I guarantee that you will want to eat it again after eating it once." Upon hearing this, Liu Sanniang picked up a few pieces of fat and lean pork belly with the chopsticks in her hand and put them into the bowl, filling the bowl up.
"Enough, enough, enough!" Ye Zhuoran said hurriedly. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading
