A car accident, our family of three crossed

After watching the dragon boat race in the county town, considering that Hang Shuheng and Mr. Liu were together, Song Ning went next door to greet them and asked Uncle Chai to stay and wait for them, while she and Sister Liu took the kids to go shopping first.

After shopping, I took the children to Zuixiangju for a big meal, and finally returned to the village feeling satisfied.

Hang Shuheng and Master Liu did not return to the village until the afternoon. They said that after having lunch and saying goodbye to Xie Yuxi, they went to Wanjuan Book House and stayed for a while before leaving.

As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival was over, Wanjuan Bookstore announced that the long-awaited third volume of "Hulu Ji" would be released soon.

When this news came out, book fans were overjoyed and rushed to inquire about the specific date.

The kids from the county town came to the primary school early in the morning and excitedly told their friends the good news. They promised that they would ask their fathers to buy it and bring it to everyone to see.

The children in the village were very happy to hear the promise. Except for class time, a large group of children would surround them at other times.

Soon it was the day when the third volume of "The Calabash Brothers" would be released. The kids in the county town would rather be late and be spanked by the teacher than miss the opportunity to buy the third volume of "The Calabash Brothers", so they asked their fathers to queue up early in the morning.

Fortunately, Shopkeeper Lu recognized them and knew that their fathers and sons were all in the primary school in Shangtang Village, so he gave them a favor.

After buying the third volume of "The Gourd" as they wished, several pairs of fathers and sons hurried to Shangtang Village. Although they hurried, they were still a quarter of an hour late.

Song Ning looked at the kids standing in rows outside the door with a smile, and could probably guess why they were late.

These days, the children have been gathering together to discuss the third volume of "The Calabash Brothers". She has heard a lot of it and feels that these kids are quite loyal.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you come in quickly? Are you standing outside the door like a door god?"

After getting the teacher's permission, the kids got rid of their guilty looks, walked into the classroom with smiles on their faces and sat in their seats.

It was great that the teacher didn't punish them for being late.

As soon as the first class was over, the kids from the city called their friends to gather together, and then each of them took out a booklet.

"Dang, look what this is?"

"Wow! It's The Gourd Story. It's really the third volume of The Gourd Story."

When the friends saw the long-awaited third volume of "The Gourd", the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and everyone praised the friends in the city.

"Du Zimo, Mo Enbo, Zhao Kaizhi, Chen Ting, you are really good friends and very loyal."

"Of course, we have promised you, so of course we will keep our promise."

They were all born in merchant families and were instilled with the idea of ​​honesty and integrity in their conduct, work and business from an early age. Even though they are still very young, it seems that this idea has been ingrained in their bones.

"Everyone come together and take a look first, otherwise the class will start again later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gong for class rang. A group of children immediately booed and returned to their seats in despair.

"It's okay, it's okay, we can just watch it in the next class."

This class was taught by Master Liu. Nowadays, most of Master Liu's classes were taught by Li Chengan and others. He seldom taught the classes himself. He only taught the children in person the day before each holiday and checked on the children's learning progress.

In the classroom, after all the children were seated, Master Liu walked in with a pile of books.

The children were a little surprised! Why was Mr. Liu here to teach?

Every time Master Liu came to class, he would randomly check the children's homework. Whoever did not learn well would be spanked on the hand.

Therefore, every time they attended Master Liu's class, they were very scared, for fear that they would be randomly checked and asked questions that they did not know the answers to.

Master Liu looked at the group of little kids sitting upright with a half-smile on his face. He was silent for a long while and did not start the class.

The children who were sitting quietly below lowered their heads and kept their mouths shut; no one dared to speak.

Even He Jinbao, who was usually disobedient, had been punished so many times that he became much more obedient. He looked left and right, and seeing that no one dared to speak, he did not dare to be the first to speak out.

After a while, Master Liu cleared his throat and said slowly, "I heard that Du Zimo, Mo Enbo, Zhao Kaizhi, and Chen Ting, the four of you are all late?"

The four kids who were called lowered their heads even lower, wondering in their hearts, are they going to be punished?

Being late would result in being punished by standing. Master Song did not punish them and everyone thought everything was fine. But they did not expect that Master Liu was waiting here!

The four kids thought, since they were going to be punished anyway, they might as well let everyone know the reason why they were late!

So, Du Zimo, who was sitting closer to the front, stood up and explained stutteringly, "Master, we are late for a reason."

Master Liu certainly knew the reason why they were late, but he still wanted to hear what they had to say, "Really? Tell me your reasons."

"Because, because, we went to buy "The Calabash Brothers."

Du Zimo spoke with a guilty conscience at first, but when he thought that they were late just to buy "The Calabash Brothers" to read with their friends, he suddenly felt justified.

"We promised everyone that once the third volume of The Gourd Story is out, we will buy it for everyone to read together."

"My grandfather has always told me since I was a child that we must keep our word and fulfill our promises. So, Master, can you please not punish us?"

Master Liu listened to the child's words in silence, and couldn't help laughing and said, "It sounds like your lateness is excusable. In that case, I won't punish you today."

The four kids were a little bit incredulous when they heard this.

"Really?"

"Why, you're not used to not being punished, right?"

"No, no, no." The four of them shook their heads like rattles at the same time.

"Then hurry up and sit down."

Master Liu's smile disappeared, his face suddenly turned stern and he shouted softly. The kids didn't dare to get carried away and quickly sat down obediently.
