When Song Yuehua returned to the counter, she heard a burst of laughter. She looked up and saw that it was Yu Duocai and his three companions.
Zhao Xiaofu whispered, "They just came here these few days. I heard that Master Yu passed the examination and became a Tongsheng."
"Tongsheng?" Song Yuehua said with a smile, "That's very good."
Zhao Xiaofu smiled and said, "Master Yu's family background is not as good as the other three, but his academic performance is the best. Now that he has passed the exam, the depression on his forehead has dissipated a little."
"You are quite observant." Song Yuehua said with a smile.
How can one not be proud of passing the imperial examination at a young age?
Xiang Chen played chess with Dao Xiaoyi for three days, and his hair turned a few gray from playing so hard.
"Does Xiaoyi have a talent for playing chess?" Song Yuehua asked him.
Xiang Chen hesitated and said, "Boss, can you give me some more time..."
If you can’t learn it in three days, there’s no point in talking about talent.
In fact, Song Yuehua was not that disappointed. She just thought at the time that she already had a chess club, so it would be a waste not to give it a try.
After stopping playing chess, Song Yuehua brought Dao Xiaoyi to Zhou Xiaohu and asked her to learn how to cook.
I originally thought it would take three or four days to learn.
Unexpectedly, Dao Xiaoyi chopped up three of Zhou Xiaohu's chopping boards that day.
Before the day was up, Zhou Xiaohu returned the goods on site.
Song Yuehua advised, "Maybe he's just not suitable for cutting vegetables. With this strength, he must be good at kneading dough."
"Forget it," Zhou Xiaohu said, "She's too careless. If I really let her knead the dough, she might just use up the whole bag of it. If I let her cook a dish, it'll be too salty!"
Song Yuehua, "..."
Dao Xiaoyi felt embarrassed seeing that his boss was so worried about him.
"Girl, if you want to know my strengths, why not ask me directly."
"Then tell me about it." Song Yuehua said.
Dao Xiaoyi clenched his fist and said, "I'm very strong. If the girls let me carry the bags, I can definitely do the job of two people."
"You carry bags now, but can you carry bags for the rest of your life?" Song Yuehua said angrily.
Since he can't learn anything, he can only be sent back home to work.
However, it's rare for Dao Xiaoyi to come to the county town, so I can take her around the county town tomorrow morning and go back in the afternoon.
The next morning, when the two arrived at the chess hall, they saw Xiang Xiaoyu looking like she was about to cry.
"What's wrong with you?" Song Yuehua asked.
Xiang Xiaoyu seemed to want to say something but stopped herself when she saw Song Yuehua.
Zhao Xiaofu next to him said, "Xiaoyu, it's better to tell the boss about this."
"I……"
Song Yuehua said in a heavy voice, "What's going on!"
"It's my brother..." Xiang Xiaoyu said while wiping her tears.
"He lost to Confucius a few days ago, and he hasn't taught Miss Xiaoyi a lesson in the past few days. He was upset, so he drank a pot of wine when he got home. This morning, he hit his head when he got up, and asked the kid next door to buy him some wine. He also asked me to ask for leave from his employer on his behalf. He..."
"Okay, I understand," Song Yuehua didn't expect that Xiang Chen would be so incapable of handling things.
If you want to open a business now, it’s definitely not okay to have a sullen face.
Song Yuehua said to Xiang Xiaoyu, "Don't cry. The chess club still needs to do business. I'll go to your house to see Xiang Chen."
"Boss..."
Xiang Xiaoyu grabbed Song Yuehua's sleeve and begged, "Boss, please don't be angry. My brother is also upset and can't get over it right away."
"Okay, I get it." Song Yuehua said.
As soon as he went out, Dao Xiaoyi followed him, "Boss, let me go with you."
Song Yuehua didn't say anything, just nodded.
The Xiang brothers and sisters lived in a terraced house, and the gate was not closed. Song Yuehua pushed the gate open and went straight in.
The door to the room inside was closed tightly and I knocked for a long time but no one opened it.
Just when Song Yuehua was wondering whether to kick the door open, Dao Xiaoyi turned around from the side.
"Boss, wait a minute, I'll go inside and open it for you."
"ah?"
Dao Xiaoyi walked to the crack in the wall next to him, jumped up, grabbed the window sill, and rushed in, sliding in like a loach.
Song Yuehua thought things were going smoothly, but suddenly, she heard Xiang Chen and Dao Xiaoyi shouting from inside.
"Dao Xiaoyi!"
Song Yuehua was about to kick the door when Dao Xiaoyi quickly shouted, "I'm fine!"
"What's wrong with you?" Song Yuehua shouted.
There was a sound of something falling to the ground from inside, and Dao Xiaoyi shouted again, "It's okay, I'll open the door for you."
After waiting at the door for a while, the door inside opened and Dao Xiaoyi looked unhappy.
"Boss, the man inside is sick, he doesn't wear pants."
“Nonsense!”
Xiang Chen ran out with his face flushed, holding his pants, "I'm changing clothes...you, you looked at me and said I was sick...you...you..."
Seeing Xiang Chen looking angry and bad, Song Yuehua roughly knew what was going on. "Are you feeling unwell? How about I call a doctor for you?"
"No, no need." Xiang Chen's voice became weaker again.
Song Yuehua said, "I heard that you lost to Confucius. Are you upset about that?"
"Not really..." Xiang Chen fell silent as he spoke.
Song Yuehua was most afraid of this. Just as she was about to ask, Dao Xiaoyi got angry and said, "Why are you so hesitant when you speak, as a grown man? If it's yes, then it's no. Why is it so difficult to just say something?"
"I...I..." Xiang Chen was so anxious that he couldn't speak.
Song Yuehua covered Dao Xiaoyi's mouth with one hand and said to Xiang Chen, "Don't worry, put on your pants first."
Just like that, Song Yuehua and Dao Xiaoyi sat down in the yard. Xiang Chen came out after he had packed everything up. "Boss..."
"I'm very worried about you when you look like this!" Song Yuehua said, raising her head.
Xiang Chen immediately took a step back and said, "Boss, I just changed my clothes and was going to the chess hall. I, I don't want to rest."
"It's not about rest, it's about your mentality,"
Song Yuehua asked seriously, "Why can't your chess skills improve to a higher level? Do you know why?"
Xiang Chen said in disbelief, "Boss, do you know?"
"Of course I know," Song Yuehua said, "Your mentality is too bad and your will is weak. You will not succeed in doing this."
After a moment of silence, Xiang Chen nodded vigorously and said, "Boss, rest assured, I will be firm."
Song Yuehua, "..."
"Xiaoyu said that you hit your head. Is the injury serious?" Song Yuehua asked.
"It's okay," Xiang Chen touched his forehead, "The bleeding has stopped."
I don’t know if I touched it too hard, but a thin black mark mixed with medicine powder appeared on my face.
Dao Xiaoyi threw a handkerchief to him and said, "You are such a grown-up, but you are so stupid all day long, you can't speak clearly, and you can't even put on your pants..."
"Who can't put on pants?" Xiang Chen said anxiously, "If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I... you scared me."
Dao Xiaoyi let out a click of his tongue, took the handkerchief and stuffed it into his arms.
"Wait a minute." Xiang Chen whispered, "I'll wash it and give it back to you."
Dao Xiaoyi handed him the handkerchief and said, "This one is for you. I have another one at home."
Xiang Chen, "..."
