Hua Guang's family was surprised when Dong Kaishan came to their door shortly after they arrived.
Dong Kaishan pointed to Liu Laosan, who had followed him over, and said, "Uncle Hua, this is our Accountant Liu's son. The exam papers that Auntie had previously exchanged were with his family."
I came here to ask if they still have any exam papers at home; they'd like to exchange some more.
Dong Kaishan was an honest man who never beat around the bush, so he directly stated his purpose.
After saying that, he looked at the two elders with a guilty expression. He had brought the person home and caused trouble for Uncle and Aunt Hua.
Liu Laosan smiled and said, "Grandpa Hua, Grandma Hua, I'm also taking the college entrance exam this year. The test papers you brought to the village today were very useful to me, and I learned a lot from them. If you have any test papers like these, you can exchange them with me. Even if it's just for fun, we'll do it."
Liu Laosan came with plenty of money in his pocket this time, and he would try his best to meet any requests made by the other party.
You know how precious learning materials are these days, so he definitely wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.
Hua Guangzong was surprised that the waste paper his granddaughter was about to throw away was actually so valuable, but with people coming and going, he couldn't say anything and could only invite the person into the house first.
“These things belong to my grandson and granddaughter. Please sit here for a moment while I go ask them about it.”
Out of respect for Dong Kaishan, he couldn't simply turn them away. Besides, Zhi'an and the others had to write so many papers every day, so it should be possible.
Not understanding why Uncle Hua was heading towards the door, Dong Kaishan didn't ask any further questions. He placed the vegetables he had brought from home on the table and said, "Auntie, you came in a hurry, so I just picked some vegetables. If you like them, I'll bring you more next time."
Tian Guihua poured them a bowl of water. "These dishes look like they were prepared with great care, so I shamelessly accepted them."
Tian Guihua was already thinking about what gift to give him in return. Maybe she could bring him a piece of cured meat or cured fish, since there was a new mother in his family, and it would be good for her to nourish her body.
With so many people in the village and the place so noisy, she hadn't even asked clearly, "I was so focused on finding someone to exchange things that I didn't even know if the baby was a girl or a boy?"
Dong Kaishan's face was all smiles. "He's just a boy. After his mother has recovered a bit, I'll bring him over for you to see."
Both families were interested in getting to know each other. Dong Kaishan also wanted to introduce his child to two influential relatives in the city, not necessarily for future favors, but just to make things more respectable.
"I seem to remember that your eldest son is also a boy, right? The brothers can help each other out in the future." Tian Guihua praised him a few times, "You'll have many children and grandchildren in the future, you'll be very lucky."
Dong Kaishan was grateful for the peace charm that Uncle Hua had given him earlier, but in this occasion, with outsiders present, it was not appropriate to express his gratitude. "That will have to wait a long time."
"Before long, the child will grow taller with the wind..."
Liu Laosan stood quietly to the side, his eyes occasionally glancing at the gate. He didn't know where the Hua family's children went to school, and he was curious, but he didn't dare to ask.
The county school has opened several classes, and they've heard about it in the countryside, but the distance is far, it's inconvenient to travel back and forth, and they can't get a spot. Otherwise, they would have come here long ago.
I imagine the Hua family's children are probably at school too.
However, with such an independent courtyard in the city, the Hua family must be quite well-off. It seems that Uncle Kaishan should cultivate a good relationship with such a person in the future.
While they were chatting, Hua Guangzong entered the Jiang family home. Seeing the children engrossed in their studies, he quietly called out his eldest grandson, "Are those test papers you did before still useful?"
Hua Zhiping: "Those are people who have already mastered the knowledge points, and someone has come to you for help?"
They usually keep a low profile, so probably no one would want to find this place. After all, they are just a few students, not comparable to the school's teachers.
I heard that the teachers at the school give them a test paper every day and have them copy it and solve the problems themselves.
They had been curious and wanted to borrow the books to copy them, but these people had ulterior motives and were afraid of competing with them, so they politely refused.
Hua Zhian was still a bit annoyed and holding a grudge. He tried his best to borrow a question, but they had already done that kind of question before. So he let it go and stopped thinking about it.
"These aren't the exam papers you threw home before. We went to the villages down there and asked people to exchange them for some vegetables. They came to us begging for them." Hua Guangzong had originally thought of making use of the waste materials to see if he could exchange them for some vegetables.
He didn't expect it to cause trouble for his family, but he couldn't ignore Dong Kaishan's feelings, so he came over to ask.
Hua Xiangyun then came out with a cup in her hand. "There's a bunch over there in the corner, Grandpa, you can choose one yourself."
These test papers were collected from various places earlier, and now they have all been completed and explained, so keeping them or not makes little difference.
Now that someone recognizes its value and is interested in it, Hua Xiangyun doesn't mind helping them out.
Those students in the county town who attend school would probably look down on them.
Hua Xiangyun admitted that she was a little vengeful, but wasn't it them who rejected her first?
Hua Guangzong looked at Hua Xiangyun with a loving expression, "If it were anyone else coming to ask for help, Grandpa would definitely turn them away directly. But since it was your Uncle Dong who asked, we have to give him this much face."
Hua Xiangyun immediately remembered that this was her savior. "Aunt Dong should have given birth by now, right? I'll prepare a gift for Grandpa to give to her later."
Hua Guangzong would never let his granddaughter worry about these things at such a crucial time. "Don't worry about these things, your grandmother and I will take care of them."
We didn't know about today's trip to She'er Village beforehand, and we didn't prepare in advance. I'll make a special trip with your grandma another day.
"I can't give you all these test papers, there are too many. I'll just pick a few."
Hua Guangzong didn't understand, so he didn't look at it and picked out four or five sheets. "For the sake of your Uncle Dong, give these to him. The other party is the village accountant's family. If they can take better care of him in the village, your Uncle Dong and his family will have an easier time."
Hua Xiangyun: "I'll do whatever Grandpa says."
When it comes to interpersonal relationships, the old man is better at it than they are; they'd better not meddle.
Hua Guangzong didn't want to bother the children any longer, so he folded the test paper in half and put it in his pocket, told them to remember to come home when it was time to eat, and then turned and left.
Hua Zhiping had just come out to refresh his mind after encountering a problem he couldn't solve, so he went back in to try again.
...
Hua Guangzong returned empty-handed, and Liu Laosan was somewhat disappointed. Had he failed to find the person?
At this moment, Hua Guangzong took out a few scrolls from his pocket, and Liu Laosan changed his expression in front of everyone, his face exaggerated, and suddenly he looked pleasantly surprised.
