Once the snow starts falling, it never stops.
While sweeping the snow, Xie Wenwu sighed, "Master, I'm afraid I'll have to spend the New Year here with you."
"Old Xie, don't you really want to go home?" Zhang Rushan asked puzzledly while standing with a broom.
"How could that be?"
Xie Wenwu quickly denied it, "The road is blocked by heavy snow, there is nothing I can do."
Zhang Rushan chuckled and said, "Before you say that, close your grinning mouth."
There are only a dozen days left until the Chinese New Year, and the Xie family has not come to pick them up. Song Yuehua suspects that the Xie family will not forget these two siblings.
Song Yuehua looked at the three people playing snowball fights outside, silently put down the broom, turned around and went into the house.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu each wore a set of pink cotton coats.
During this period, the two of them gained a lot of weight, and their skin became white and tender. Wearing a pink dress and a flower in the head, they looked extremely beautiful.
"Sister, does it look good?" Xiaoyu asked quickly with a happy face.
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "They look beautiful, just like two little princesses."
Xie Yu was standing aside, a little shy, "Xiaoyu, are you really going to give me this dress?"
"certainly!"
Xiaoyu took her hand and said with a smile, "Brother Wenwu also has one, Uncle Xie, Uncle Xie, and Aunt Yu also have one. You saved my sister last time, so I can only show my gratitude. Xiaoyu, please don't despise me!"
"With Xiaoyu's craftsmanship, if anyone still despises it, it would be too unfair!" Xie Yu said seriously. After that, she pulled Xiaoyu and said, "Come on, let's go get a basin of water and take a look."
The cotton coats for Song Yuehua, Dabao and Xiaobao were made early.
Song Yuehua wore a set of indigo-colored clothes, for no other reason than that it was resistant to getting dirty. Dabao and Xiaobao each wore a set of goose yellow clothes.
Dabao is more active, tossing and turning in her yellow cotton coat like a newly hatched duckling. Xiaobao, on the other hand, is the opposite, she doesn’t like to move, seems to have no motivation, and has a laziness that is inconsistent with her age.
Maybe little girls are just more quiet, Song Yuehua comforted herself.
I glanced outside the door and thought that I should go to the clinic as soon as possible.
After sweeping the snow, Xie Yu began to teach Xiaoyu and Ruchu to recognize words, while Zhang Rushan was alone looking at the handouts given by Xie An.
Zhang Rushan learns quickly. If it was just learning to read, Xie Yu could still teach him, but every time he asked about the meaning, Xie Yu couldn't help asking.
Zhou Xiaohu is also a half-baked person, not to mention Xie Wenwu.
Although Song Yuehua recognized him and roughly understood what he meant, she didn't say anything in order not to mislead the young people.
In the end, Xie Wenwu couldn't bear it anymore, so he took Zhang Rushan back home in the freezing cold to seek help from his third uncle.
Xie An asked a few questions casually, nodded and said, "It is better than the one in my house. If I have the chance to study hard in the academy, I might be able to achieve something."
Then he stood up, took out a few books from the bookshelf and placed them in front of Zhang Rushan.
"These books have my explanations. Read them carefully. Even if you memorize them by rote, you will have a chance of passing the examination."
Given the weight of these books, Zhang Rushan didn't dare to accept it.
He said in fear, "Rushan only hopes that Uncle San can answer some of my questions. I dare not accept such a valuable book."
Xie An leaned back in his chair and rocked twice, chuckling, "I didn't say I was giving it to you. Remember to return it to me after reading it. It was originally intended to benefit the younger generation, but the younger generation is as stupid as an ox, so it's appropriate for you to use it."
The value of these books is immeasurable to Zhang Rushan now.
Zhang Rushan knelt down before Xie An and said solemnly, "I thank you for lending me the book. I will treasure it and live up to your efforts."
Xie An waved his hand and said, "Go back. If you have any questions, ask me again."
After expressing his gratitude, Zhang Rushan stood up and left the study.
In the study, Xie An rocked his chair and said to himself, "This silly boy is a bit lucky."
When Zhang Rushan went out, he saw Xie Wenwu squatting at the door.
As a result, Xie Wenwu asked seriously as soon as he opened his mouth, "Old Zhang, did your uncle hit you?"
Zhang Rushan, "..."
"Third Uncle is well-educated, but he has a strange temper. If he really wants to beat you, don't take it seriously. I only know one educated person like him. If there is another person, I will not bring you here..."
Before Xie Wenwu finished speaking, Zhang Rushan bowed deeply to him.
Well!
What's going on? Xie Wenwu was confused.
Zhang Rushan came up to hug him, choking with sobs, and said, "Old Xie, I will remember your kindness forever. If your mother were a woman, I would marry you and worship you like a Buddha!"
Xie Wenwu was so scared that he quickly pushed Zhang Rushan away and said angrily, "Why should I be a woman and you be a woman? I will marry you and worship you like a Buddha. Do you want to do it?"
Suddenly, the feeling of being touched disappeared.
The two were about to leave, and Xie Wenwu said hello to his family, "Dad and Mom, we are going home first and will be back later."
Thank you.
On the way back, the two naturally talked about Uncle Xie. When they learned that he was still a white-collar worker, they couldn't help but feel curious.
How could someone who can say that he has a good chance of passing the examination and become a Tongsheng, yet he himself has not passed it?
Xie Wenwu said, "We have to wait until next year. My uncle said that a 14-year-old boy is okay. He is not too eye-catching. This age is just right."
Zhang Rushan was puzzled, "What's wrong with becoming famous at a young age?"
"I don't really understand either." Xie Wenwu frowned and said, "If Uncle San says it's not good, then it must be not good."
Although the Xie family's financial situation was not particularly good, they had no worries about food and clothing, so Xie An did have the confidence to do whatever he wanted.
