Xu Wenwu said, "Grandpa, I've made up my mind. I'll go to the academy and ask the dean to write the letter of appointment for me."
The old man said, "That's right. The three books and six betrothal gifts are equally important. I think this idea is appropriate. It is the dean and the teacher of the academy who have nurtured you to become a talent. They are grateful to you for your talent. This is a major event in your life. Tell them. This is the reason!"
Xu Wenwu nodded.
Things have been discussed almost completely, and the family is relieved.
Qibao has been busy these past two days. She noticed that many tourists brought their children to play. Shouldn’t the village make more things suitable for children to play with?
Thinking of the slides, seesaws, and building blocks in my previous life, these things don’t exist in this world, but as long as I know the structure of these toys, can I make them?
He got down to work right away, took a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil, and drew the diagrams of the slide and the seesaw.
After finishing the drawing, he checked it carefully again to make sure there were no mistakes, then took the drawing to find his grandfather.
When the old man saw the drawing for the first time, he didn’t know what it was. Qibao Zhihao explained it to him in detail.
The old man's eyes lit up and he said, "I've never seen this kind of gameplay before, but it's not easy to do!"
Qibao said, "Yes, so I'd like to ask Grandpa to see if we can get the uncles and aunts in the village who are carpenters to research it. It can also be considered as an additional source of income."
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Okay! I have nothing to do right now, so I'll go find everyone and discuss it."
Qibao said, "Grandpa, this must be made sturdy, otherwise it might hurt someone."
The old man said, "I know, Qibao, don't worry!"
After the old man finished speaking, he took the blueprint and walked out with his hands behind his back.
It was not until the afternoon that Xu Wenwu returned from town, and his brothers also returned home with him.
"Sister, we have a day off tomorrow, why don't we go into the mountains for a picnic?" Xiaowu said excitedly.
Qibao nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Tomorrow we just need to bring some water and seasonings, and we can catch food from the mountains."
Su Chenyu said, "I'll go too. Count me in. Are you going, cousin?"
Jingchen nodded and agreed.
"Wenwu, has the engagement letter been written?" asked the old man.
Xu Wenwu nodded and said, "Grandpa, it's already written!" Then he took out a red booklet from his arms.
The old man took it, opened it carefully and looked at it, then said happily, "Great! The dean's handwriting is really beautiful!"
Xiao Wu said, "The dean even specially used the ink that big brother gave him last time to write this. Grandpa, you don't know that the dean usually doesn't want to use it himself, but he used it for big brother without hesitation."
The old man nodded and said, "The dean already treats you as his own grandchildren. You must remember that no matter what happens in the future, you must maintain a respectful heart towards the dean. Do you understand?"
"Grandpa, we know!"
"Grandpa, I have something to discuss with you." said the second brother Xu Zhiyong.
The old man said, "Just tell me what's going on, and I'll give you some advice."
Xu Zhiyong said, "Grandpa, I've made up my mind. I plan to go out with Uncle Qian. The hot pot restaurant is in need of people right now. I think I've learned enough. I want to go out and see the world."
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa supports you. Your eldest brother is already engaged. You are the same age as your eldest brother, so you are considered an adult. Since you have chosen this path, Grandpa also knows that this day will come sooner or later."
Xu Zhiyong said, "Thank you so much, Grandpa, for your help. I swear I will make a name for myself."
The old man said, "I'm very pleased that you have such great ambitions, but your health is the most important thing. You should discuss it with your parents and decide when to leave."
Xu Zhiyong nodded in agreement.
"Second brother, have you made up your mind? Big brother supports you, but you have to be more careful in everything you do outside. People's hearts are unpredictable, especially when doing business and dealing with people." Xu Wenwu said.
"Brother, I know. Once I get familiar with the outside environment, I want to run an industry that I created myself, and then expand it across the entire country!" Xu Zhiyong said with a longing look on his face.
"Second brother, come on, can I enjoy the best food and drinks with you in the future?" Qibao asked with a smile.
Xu Zhiyong patted Qibao's head lovingly and said, "When my second brother makes enough money, I'll buy you the best!"
Qibao nodded and said, "Well, I'll remember what Second Brother said. You have to buy me whatever I want when the time comes!"
Xu Zhiyong nodded heavily.
It's rare that all the Xu family members are here today, and there's a large table of people in the evening, so it's very lively.
After hearing her second son's idea, Uncle Xu's brother Zhang had already anticipated this day and did not object. In the end, they decided to go to Qingshan City together on the day of the engagement.
The next day, Qibao got up early because they were going to have a picnic in Daqingshan.
Wang prepared everything they needed and put it all in a basket. She didn't bring anyone with her because it would be inconvenient to have too many people.
There were only the six siblings of the Xu family, Jingchen, Su Chenyu, Qian Xuedong, and a little boy named Xiaoba. Xiaoliu didn't come because he had to go to school today.
Nine people and one dog set off towards Daqing Mountain in a mighty procession.
Generally, patrol teams do not allow tourists to enter the mountains. Because of the white wolves, a few wolf cubs appear from time to time on the outskirts, and they are afraid that they will scare tourists. At most, they are allowed to take a walk around the foot of the mountain.
