The big banyan tree in the middle of the village is thick and tall. When the wind blows, it brings coolness. Children gather in the shade to play.
Shanwazi, who was squatting on the ground and throwing stones, looked up at the red marks left by the bamboo mat on Zhan Feiyu's face and laughed, "Xiaoyu, you slept until the sun was drying your butt."
Zhan Feiyu stuffed the last bite of the steamed bun into her mouth, her white and tender cheeks were bulging, and paired with her big black round eyes, she looked cute and delicate.
Wu Cuicui looked at Zhan Feiyu sideways, raised her slender eyebrows in disgust, and taunted in a high-pitched voice, "You are really lazy. I can't find someone like you in any village in ten miles."
The seven-year-old girl is neither too old nor too young. She helps the family feed the chickens, pulls out weeds in the vegetable field, is diligent in sweeping the floor, choosing vegetables and looking after her younger siblings, standing on a small stool.
Can cook rice and stir-fry vegetables.
"Wu Cuicui, what are you talking about?" Shan Wazi stood up and stood in front of Zhan Feiyu with his dark and strong body. He said dissatisfiedly, "Did the little fish drink your water? Eat your rice?"
"
Erniu glared even more, as fierce and savage as a calf, and scolded back fiercely, "Wu Cuicui, you are just a dog meddling in other people's business! You are jealous that the little fish is prettier and smarter than you!"
"You are all blind!" Sharp yells rang out, and Wu Cuicui's eyes were red with anger. She put one hand on her waist and pointed at Zhan Feiyu with the other and yelled, "She is lazy and fat, how can she be beautiful?"
Compared with Zhan Feiyu, who is shorter and fatter than a baby, Wu Cuicui is also seven years old, but she is tall and has a pretty face. Her black hair is braided with a bright red headband and a half-opened flower.
Magnolia.
"Wu Cuicui, you ugly monster!"
"Wu Cuicui, you're a curser!"
"Haha, the curser is crying..."
The two naughty and naughty two cows, Shan Wazi let out a victorious laugh, a group of naughty children with no sense of aesthetics. In their eyes, Zhan Feiyu is one of their own, and no one can bully them.
Being defended by his friends, Zhan Feiyu laughed and explained the purpose of his visit in a crisp voice, "Er Niu, I'm here to tell you that I won't go out to play for these ten days. My cousin wants to teach me, Erlang and Sanlang how to read.
Already."
"Xiaoyu, why are you studying?" Erniu's head was as big as a hemp. He would rather follow his father to work in the fields than study and learn to read.
Shanwazi also asked: "Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, my mother said that she will send me to a private school in September, and we will go together then."
Zhan Feiyu didn't hide anything, and quickly and succinctly told the story of the competition, ensuring that Shan Wazi and the others could accurately tell the whole story when they returned.
Shan Wazi's eyes lit up, he beat his chest loudly, and made a confident prediction: "Xiaoyu, you will definitely win!"
A group of friends nodded like chickens pecking at rice. Xiaoyu was the smartest kid in the village. If she recognized him as second, no one would dare to recognize him as first!
Wu Cuicui stared at Zhan Feiyu who was surrounded by her friends jealously, her eyes red with anger.
The old Wu family gave birth to three daughters, and Wu Cuicui was the youngest. The family doted on her, and because she had a pretty face, Wu’s father sent Wu Cuicui to a private school last year.
Father Wu is a butcher and has a meat stall in the county. He has studied for several years and is well-informed. He plans to teach Wu Cuicui how to read and find a good husband in the county in the future.
Among those who opened shops in the county, whose daughter-in-law didn't know a few words and was not only good at doing business but also checking accounts, Wu Cuicui came back crying after staying for a month and refused to go to private school.
"I'll go back and endorse it. When I win, I'll buy lotus root candy for you to eat, three for each person." Zhan Feiyu said goodbye to his friends and went home.
Walking on her short legs and looking at the potholed dirt road under her feet, Zhan Feiyu let out a long sigh, her fair and chubby little face showing an adult-like seriousness and heaviness. She didn't have the heart of a villain, but she had to guard against it.
Letting himself take part in the competition is just the second uncle's plan. He wants to silence his parents and convince the first house to let the second house study. If he wins in the end, the second uncle will definitely not give up. The family will only let Erlang or Sanlang
Go to private school.
Therefore, Zhan Feiyu could only make a fuss about the competition. When the time came, the Zhan family would have to hold their noses and admit it if they were worried about the Zhan family's face.
Whether it was Zhan Feiyu's "idol" effect or the naughty child's greed for lotus root candy, by the evening, every household knew about the competition between the three children of Lao Zhan's family.
Under the big banyan tree, the aunts and daughters-in-law were enjoying the cool air, waving cattail fans in their hands to drive away mosquitoes, and they talked about it all at once.
"Second sister-in-law, reading and writing are all for boys. Are you, Lao Zhan, really planning to let Xiaoyu go to a private school?"
Little Yao concealed the glint in his eyes, raised his brows and smiled kindly, "They are all poor. My second brother said that the girls in the county are all pampered, and all of them are literate. The eldest brother and sister-in-law
Just Xiaoyu is a child, and his parents also said he would like a bowl of water."
"Second Brother Zhan works in the county town to deliver goods. His vision is really different." The young daughter-in-law said a few words of flattery with a fawning smile on her face, "The older brother is smart, and the younger brother Sanlang will definitely be good."
"Sanlang can't compare to his brother. He only knows how to eat all day long." Little Yao shook his head modestly, but there was a bit of complacency in his eyes.
My men are much smarter than the men who only know how to dig food in the fields, especially since they have become brothers with Ma Baotou. People in the village have to come to their men to discuss anything they encounter.
Originally, the Zhan family's competition was only talked about by children like Erniu, but little Yao, who was enjoying the cool night last night, also admitted it. The men in charge of the village naturally knew about it, but they didn't take it seriously. In the end, this competition was nothing
Regarding the matter of Erlang and Sanlang of the Zhan family, Zhan Feiyu was just a make-up.
Shangsi County, inn.
"Seventh Master." A black figure appeared silently in the guest room, and whispered back to Yin Wuyan who was sitting by the window: "That little girl is the daughter of the Zhan family in Jinlin Village. She is seven years old this year..."
Yin Wuyan's gloomy gaze fell on the book in his hand. Under the dim light of the candle, his pale face looked extremely cold.
The young man couldn't help laughing when he thought about the investigation, "I thought that fat girl was only five years old, but I didn't expect that she was already seven years old. She has only grown more flesh but not a head."
Children from farm families don't have enough food or clothing, and are basically thin and small with a shriveled appearance. Zhan Feiyu is short, but she is fat.
When the young man thought of her plump face, big round black eyes, three-headed body, and short legs, she didn't look like she was short. She probably had all the fat on her face.
"Master Qi, you don't know how petty this girl is." The young man told Zhan Feiyu's little plan, and said with a loud smile: "Now the whole village knows about the Zhan family's competition.
, this fat girl wants to use public opinion to force the Zhan family to agree to let her study in a private school if she wins."
Just when the young man thought that his seventh master would ignore him, a rough voice sneered, "Fetching water from a bamboo basket."
The young man was stunned and stared at Yin Wuyan with a cold expression. After Qi Ye changed his voice, he couldn't speak a few words for a month, because that fat girl, Qi Ye actually spoke loudly last night and tonight.
Could it be that Master Qi also likes to listen to gossip? The young man took a few steps closer to the window excitedly and said excitedly: "Master Qi, that fat girl is only seven years old. She can be considered smart for thinking of this method, but she doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister.
"Compared with money and interests, fame, humanity, and family affection are nothing."
