Tian Chengcheng snorted coldly.
Fu Xinhan thought for a moment and said, "I promise I won't run around anymore."
Seeing that he admitted his mistake, Tian Chengcheng said nothing more.
Fu Xinhan was relieved, and the three of them continued on their journey.
Along the way, Tian Hengyuan told the two some interesting things that happened during school.
Fu Xinhan's eyes sparkled.
You can see that he is eager to go to school.
"Uncle, can you teach us some knowledge? Can you teach us the ancient poem you just mentioned?" Fu Xinhan asked.
"Okay, I'll teach you two to recite ancient poems. It's a long walk anyway, and it's boring. If you can learn one, recite one. If you can learn two, recite two. It doesn't matter if you can't. You two are still young, so learn slowly."
Tian Hengyuan said with a smile that he didn't have too many requirements for the two of them.
"Okay, uncle, I will study hard." Fu Xinhan promised.
Tian Hengyuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's start by reciting a simple ancient poem, 'Ode to the Goose'. You two must listen carefully."
"Okay." Tian Chengcheng nodded.
Classical poetry is not a problem for her, after all, she started learning it at the age of three.
"Geese, geese, geese, they sing with their necks curved toward the sky, their white feathers floating on the green water, their red feet paddling the clear waves."
Tian Hengyuan spoke slowly, word by word, and gave a brief introduction before reading it again and asking the two, "Do you remember it?"
"Remember, uncle, I'll try to recite it first." Fu Xinhan said and recited it directly.
He recited ancient poems with clear pronunciation and was very serious.
Tian Hengyuan was stunned for a moment. "You remembered it so quickly? Have you learned it before?"
"No." Fu Xinhan shook his head. "Uncle said it was easy, so I remembered it."
"Yes, you are a good student. Fubao, do you remember it?" Tian Hengyuan asked Tian Chengcheng again.
Tian Chengcheng was a little hesitant. Did she remember it or not?
She was just a little worried that if a real genius and a "fake genius" got together, would it cause a blow to Tian Hengyuan?
After all, Tian Hengyuan achieved success through ten years of hard study.
However, there is no need to talk about the two of them.
As for Fu Xinhan, he is the academic master in the book. He is known to have a photographic memory and a first-class business mind. It is a sure thing for him to surpass Tian Hengyuan.
"Fubao, I'll teach you." Fu Xinhan saw that Tian Chengcheng didn't say anything, thinking that she didn't remember it, so he hurriedly said.
"I remember." Tian Chengcheng made the decision instantly.
She could keep a low profile, but she didn't want to lag behind and waste time, so Tian Chengcheng also recited "Ode to the Goose" in a serious manner, and her pronunciation was better than Fu Xinhan's.
"...You two are so smart. You remembered it after just one explanation?" Tian Hengyuan was shocked.
"My uncle spoke well. I found it interesting and remembered it immediately." Tian Chengcheng did not forget to give the credit to Tian Hengyuan.
Tian Hengyuan was very happy to see that the two of them really remembered it, so he taught them another song "Quiet Night Thoughts". He still only said it once, and Fu Xinhan and Tian Chengcheng both remembered it.
So, during the nearly two-hour journey, Tian Chengcheng and Fu Xinhan learned more than fifty ancient poems. Tian Hengyuan was shocked and his mind was blank.
"You two are simply child prodigies. It's a shame that you don't go to school. After you sell the bracelets, you two should go to school. You two will definitely have a brighter future than your uncle." Tian Hengyuan said.
He has been an excellent student since he was young, but he is hardworking and definitely cannot learn as fast as the other two of them.
He was really... envious.
"My uncle is a college student, he must have a bright future. Uncle, we are still young, so we don't need to go to school. You can teach us when you have time. When you work and make money, we can go to school later."
Tian Chengcheng found a reasonable reason to refuse.
She is a college graduate. It would be a waste of time for her to start learning pinyin again. She might as well make more money.
"That won't do. We only have a few years to study here, so we must seize the opportunity. Besides, students who study well can get tuition waivers and scholarships. You two are so smart, you will definitely get a scholarship." Tian Hengyuan became happier the more he thought about it.
It's like the scholarship has already been obtained.
Tian Chengcheng is not interested in the scholarship, after all, she is not a real child.
That little bit of sweetness couldn't attract her.
Fu Xinhan was different. He seemed to see hope. "Uncle, is this true? Not only is school free, but we even give money?"
"Yes, our country attaches great importance to the cultivation of talents. You two are so smart, you will definitely have a bright future." Tian Hengyuan was very excited. "After you exchange the gold bracelets, I will save the money and send you to school in the fall. Hanhan, if you don't have money, you can borrow from Fubao first. When you have a promising future, you can pay her back."
"Okay." Fu Xinhan replied.
Tian Chengcheng's mouth twitched.
It seems that she didn't agree.
But she didn't bother to refute because she was almost exhausted.
She overestimated herself. After walking for two hours, her legs were no longer her own legs.
But she was too embarrassed to ask Tian Hengyuan to carry her, because he had to carry her for half of the journey.
Looking at the bus whizzing past her, she swore that she would take the bus no matter what when she returned.
I can’t stand it anymore!
Finally, the three of them stood outside a pawn shop.
It was Tian Hengyuan's first time in such a place and he was very nervous.
Tian Chengcheng really wanted to teach him not to be nervous, because the people in the pawnshop were very cunning and would bully newcomers.
However, she couldn't speak because of her position.
"Let's go in." Tian Hengyuan pulled the two of them into the house.
The floor is paved with tiles, and the display cabinets are filled with neatly arranged items, and it is spotlessly clean.
Seeing this scene, Tian Hengyuan became even more nervous, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Hello, comrade, what can I do for you?" A man in his thirties came up to me with a smile on his face.
Tian Chengcheng knew that this person was not simple.
"These are old things passed down from my family. I wanted to exchange them for money, but the harvest is not good this year and I really can't make it any longer." Tian Hengyuan said what the old lady taught him.
"We accept everything here. The older the item, the more valuable it is. Don't worry, we are a conscientious shop and we don't cheat anyone. As long as the item is good, the price will be fair. My name is Li Yuanhai, and I'm the owner of this pawnshop. You can just call me Brother Li."
"Brother Li." Tian Hengyuan called out stiffly.
"You've walked quite a long way. Whether the deal is successful or not is another matter. Drink some water to moisten your throat first, sit down and rest, and take a look at something if it's convenient." Li Yuanhai said.
"Uncle, I'm thirsty." Tian Chengcheng said immediately.
Tian Hengyuan had no choice but to ask Li Yuanhai for water.
Li Yuanhai immediately asked the shop assistant to pour three glasses of boiled water, sat down with Tian Hengyuan, and asked him to look at something.
Tian Chengcheng took advantage of her small size and Li Yuanhai ignored her. She pretended to be curious, looking here and there, and casually asked about the prices of things. When she arrived at the gold area, she looked at the price of gold, which was clearly marked: 83 per gram.
Selling it for 83 per gram, he would only get 75 at most.
After having a rough idea of the price in mind, Tian Chengcheng returned to Tian Hengyuan.
