When a family of three gets together, the child is always the protagonist.
No, as soon as Cui Zhiduan finished kissing his mother, his father took the opportunity to examine his homework.
Cui Zhiduan is smart and alert. He has been doing well under Mrs. Zhou so far. Not only can he complete his homework on time every day, but he still has enough time to study the extra homework assigned by Cui Weizhen. He can be said to be quite powerful.
But as long as they are students, there is no one who is not afraid of having their homework tested, even a top student like Cui Zhiduan is no exception, especially because his father deliberately made the test a little harder in order to frustrate his raised little tail, even if he is as smart as Cui Zhiduan
, and cannot answer knowledge that has not been learned.
It is obvious that the child Cui Zhiduan failed the test.
It was not only Cui Zhiduan's child who was confused, but also the chestnuts in the stove.
When she smelled the strong burnt smell coming from the stove, Ye Zhenzhen realized that something was wrong. She didn't bother to comfort her dejected son, so she quickly picked up the tongs and pulled out the chestnuts. However, when all the chestnuts were rescued, she fell silent.
.
The white jade plate was filled with a bunch of jet-black chestnuts. The appearance had been charred and exuded a strong burnt smell. There was also a faint aroma of chestnuts. The two mixed together and the taste was very strange.
Cui Zhiduan poked his head out and saw that sadness was written on his wrinkled face.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at the culprit and gestured with her eyes: Look at the good thing you did!
Cui Weizhen: "..."
He tried to save his reputation: "I was busy inspecting Wangzi's homework just now, and I didn't have time to take care of it at the moment." He looked back at Ye Zhenzhen with his eyes, meaning you have nothing to do, why don't you watch a little bit?
Ye Zhenzhen refused to take the blame and said righteously: "You are the examiner, I am just a theatergoer."
Ye Zhenzhen thought about the pun and couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up.
Cui Weizhen: "...Watching a play? Aren't you the deputy examiner?" When she was just examining her son, she also asked questions!
"No, you overestimate me. I'm really just a passerby watching the show!"
…
The father and mother started pecking at each other. Cui Zhiduan's worry at the beginning gradually turned into helplessness. He sighed deeply, feeling that the family burden on his shoulders had increased again.
"Father, mother, our sons are not good at learning. Don't be angry."
He followed his father's usual appearance, with a rosy little face, his eyes fell on the burnt chestnuts, and he said without giving up: "Although the chestnuts are burnt, maybe the pulp inside is still edible. Mother said
There is a lot of bad things on the outside, but there is gold and jade on the inside. We can’t judge people by their appearance!”
Cui Weizhen: "...It's gold and jade on the outside, but rotten on the inside."
"It's not important, it's almost enough."
As a foodie, Ye Zhenzhen shared the same obsession with her son and nodded in agreement: "Wangzi is right, let's give it a try."
I just had trouble getting started. How to peel the chestnuts that are all black?
Ye Zhenzhen and Cui Zhiduan unanimously set their eyes on Cui Weizhen, and the implication was very obvious.
Cui Weizhen's mouth twitched: "I refuse."
"You baked it." Ye Zhenzhen hit the nail on the head.
Cui Weizhen felt wrong. Even so, letting him grab the dark chestnuts was simply more uncomfortable than killing him, so he turned his attention to the servant who was serving him.
Yu Xiu and Qiu Wu have been waiting by the side. They have long wanted to help their master roast chestnuts and peel them. However, his master did not speak. As servants, they did not dare to spoil their master's interest. Until now, they received Lang Jun's gaze.
, they dare to take action.
"Madam, sir, let the slaves do the rough work."
The chestnuts placed on the white jade plate have cooled down slightly, and the flickering charcoal fire has also extinguished. However, this thing is completely black and there is no crack to burst. If you want to pinch a chestnut with your bare hands, for Yu Xiu and Qiu Wu,
For the maids who never do menial work, it is really difficult for them.
Ye Zhenzhen saw that Yuxiu and Qiu Wu were so depressed that they couldn't help but feel pity and said: "Go and get my little hammer for eating walnuts."
Qiu Wu felt like he was being pardoned, so he quickly went to get the small hammer, showing his solid eyes, and continued to compete with Li Zi.
The little maid who had been watching at the entrance of the courtyard walked up slowly and whispered to Yuxiu: "Sister Yuxiu, let me do it. I have been strong since I was a child, so I can definitely open chestnuts for Madam!"
Yuxiu really had no energy left, so she handed the chestnut to the little maid suspiciously. The little maid took a deep breath, puffed up her face, and squeezed the chestnut in her hand hard, and there was a "pop" sound.
Yuxiu competed with the chestnuts, which had not seen any movement for a long time, finally opened!
However, before the little maid could cheer, the opened chestnut flesh, as if it had eyes, flew out of the shell and hit Cui Weizhen on the forehead impartially.
At this moment, the whole world fell silent.
Cui Weizhen put away the chestnut meat that had fallen on his clothes with an expressionless expression, and finally turned his attention to the little maid. After a closer look, she looked very familiar.
He chuckled: "What's your name?"
"To my husband, my maid, my maid's name is Yupan." Yupan was so frightened that she almost cried, but she still remembered Sister Qiuwu's admonishment and held back her cry.
Don't cry! Be steady! She also has to be a maid for Madam!
The maid Yupan was lively and lovable. Although she occasionally made a fuss, she was full of energy and liked Ye Zhenzhen very much. Seeing that the little girl was very frightened, she quickly poked Cui Weizhen next to her: "Take it easy.
Come on, don't scare people, she's only a ten-year-old girl."
Cui Weizhen finally understood where this maid got such courage. It turned out that she was spoiled by Zhen'er. He couldn't help but snorted, feeling a little unhappy: "I didn't say anything yet, but you protected me."
Isn't it right? You even want to be jealous of a little maid?
Ye Zhenzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly stroked his hair: "Where are you protecting her? You want to think too much. The pulp is stuck on your face, you must be uncomfortable, I will help you wash your face and change your clothes first
Come down."
Cui Weizhen's face brightened a little, and he stopped arguing with the little maid and went down to change clothes.
Yupan felt like she was being pardoned and breathed a sigh of relief. However, she felt uneasy. She pulled Yuxiu's sleeve and asked, "Sister Yuxiu, have you forgiven me?"
Yuxiu couldn't answer for a while.
Cui Zhiduan was very willing to protect his father's reputation and said categorically: "Sister Yupan, don't be afraid. My father is the most generous. He will definitely not blame you."
Yupan was very convinced of Xiao Langjun, and a smile appeared on her face again: "Great, Xiao Langjun, do you want to eat chestnuts? I will peel the chestnuts for you."
"Okay, okay! Sister Yupan, you are so strong!"
"Of course, my mother said that I have nothing but strength."
…
Yuxiu looked at the heartless duo and sighed deeply. These days, ignorance is indeed the happiest thing.
