Suddenly, Qi Ning's somewhat excited voice was heard in my ear, "It's Grandpa and Daddy."

Xu Si and his companions looked towards the river and saw that, sure enough, on the second boat closer to them, there were two people with red spots on their waists.

One was at the bow, and the other at the stern. The person at the bow looked taller and stronger, and several people guessed that it was Shen Anyi.

Following the competition command, everyone started to sprint.

Xu Si and the others stared at the boat, secretly cheering for the two people in their hearts.

"What is the second person doing on the second boat?" someone in the crowd asked.

"Looks like he's wiping his face?"

"Wipe your face in such a tense situation? Not trying hard at all." Someone criticized.

"Wait, it doesn't seem like that. It was the first person who paddled too hard and the water splashed on his face." The person who spoke squinted his eyes, trying his best to identify.

"It's true. It's so funny."

Xu Si and others also saw this scene and listened quietly to what everyone said. However, when they saw that Shen Anyi and their boat was in the front, they all had smiles on their faces.

At the same time, the two people on the boat were not having an easy time. They worked together, one in front and one behind, to press the boat down, keeping it moving steadily, and they paddled hard.

Shen Anyi vaguely heard someone behind him saying something intermittently, but he didn't have time to listen carefully. The race was already halfway done, so the two of them calmed down and paddled at their own pace.

The person in the middle felt like he was just paddling, and couldn't help but sigh that these two people were working too hard.

But when I thought about my family watching me on the shore, I tried my best to behave so as not to embarrass them.

When the boat was the first to reach the destination, everyone on the boat finally relaxed.

Shen Anyi and the other person came for the win, the second person came for the chance to finally stop getting splashed with river water, and the others came for the prize money.

When the referee came over to distribute the prize money to them, there was mockery in his eyes.

Especially when he saw Shen Anyi and the second person, his eyes looked back and forth between them and his smile became even bigger.

Shen Anyi was confused, but the second person understood a little and had a helpless look on his face.

Shen Jingchuan heard what others were saying, but he didn't pay much attention at first, when he suddenly caught the words of the first person.

After he finished listening, his expression was very complicated. He hurried to Shen Anyi and whispered something.

This time it was Shen Anyi's turn to feel embarrassed and he turned around quickly.

"Brother, I'm so sorry. I didn't know I would pour it all over your face."

The man waved his hands, "It's okay, you didn't do it on purpose, it was all for the sake of winning."

Even after Shen Anyi took back the 400 coins they had won, he still felt a little embarrassed, as he always felt that others were talking about him.

“Grandpa, you guys are so awesome!” Qi Ning was the first to rush over, his eyes shining.

"Haha, just do your best." Shen Anyi said modestly.

When the people around heard this, they sighed and thought, "Just try your best." They also tried their best, so why didn't they win?

"Dad, brother, come and have a cup of sour plum soup to relax," Xu Si handed them to the two of them. The two cups were served a while ago and were not so cold anymore.

For people who have just done strenuous exercise, the blood vessels are in a state of expansion. If they drink cold drinks immediately, it can easily cause vasoconstriction and spasm, which can induce myocardial infarction.

After Shen Anyi and the other person took it, they found a place next to the wooden cart to sit down and rest.

While drinking the delicious sour plum soup, I watched the next round of the game through the gap.

Occasionally someone came to return a cup or buy a cold drink. Before the game was completely over, Xu Si and his friends had already sold out their sour plum soup.

The further we looked back, the smaller the crowd became.

"Or let's go back. It's too hot." Xu Si felt that his nose was oily from the sun, his hair was wet and stuck to his face, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

"Okay, I feel hot too." Lou Yuexin wiped the sweat from her head.

After everyone packed up their things, Shen Anyi took the initiative to push the cart home.

"Xin'er, this is the prize money you won today." Shen Anyi took out 400 coins and was about to give it to Lou Yuexin.

"Wait, hold it here first. I'll calculate the profit of today's sour plum soup." Lou Yuexin took out an abacus and started fiddling with it.

"A total of 366 cups were sold, and each cup cost 2 wen, which is 732 wen.

The cost of 8 cups is 10 cents, and the cost of 366 cups is 457 and a half cents.

So, in total, we earned…”

"Two hundred and seventy-four cents and a half."

While Lou Yuexin was still calculating, Xu Si gave the answer, and Lou Yuexin also finished her calculation at the same time.

"Asi's calculation is correct."

"I didn't expect Ah Si to be so good at math." Shen Anyi praised.

"It's okay," Xu Si scratched his head embarrassedly.

After studying for so many years, I can only remember very little knowledge, and even less that I can use in my life.

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are the most practical.

Considering that Xu Si had no one to teach him when he was young, but now he has such strong math skills, I wonder who he learned from.

Everyone was very curious and asked.

Xu Si was silent for a moment and began to make up a story.

"Well, it's a long story. When I was a child, the servants often withheld my food. I was so hungry that I crawled out of the dog hole in the mansion to find something to eat."

"This is too much. I didn't expect the general's wife to be so lax in her rule. How could a servant deduct the master's food?"

Xu Si hadn't finished speaking yet. As soon as he said this, Lou Yuexin slammed the table and said angrily, looking at Xu Si with more and more heartache.

This child has a very hard life.

Xu Si felt inexplicably sad, perhaps it was the remnant of the original owner's emotions.

She wasn't completely lying. The original owner was indeed often hungry when she was a child. It was just that she was discovered by the servants just as she was about to climb through the dog hole.

When reporting this to the mistress, the servant exaggerated the matter, saying that she was naughty and disobedient.

The mistress had no feelings for her at first, so she casually said to lock her up in the woodshed for one night as a punishment.

"And then?" Shen Yanchen got very curious after hearing half of what she said. He was not good at math and wanted to hear how she learned it.

Xu Si put away his emotions, "Then I met an old man with a white beard, and we begged together. He saw that I was very smart, so he taught me a very powerful arithmetic method."

"what way?"

"One is called the multiplication table, and the other is called addition, subtraction, multiplication and division." Xu Si's voice was very serious.

"These two sound very powerful." Shen Yanchen exclaimed.

"This old man is probably some rare master of arithmetic." Shen Anyi thought about it seriously and felt that this idea was very reliable.

"Master also begs?" Shen Yanchen was a little unbelievable.

"Of course, some masters have this special hobby. Maybe he is not begging, but just looking for people with the right destiny through this method to impart knowledge." Shen Anyi guessed confidently.

“It’s really admirable.”

"Yes, Asi is lucky to meet such a master." Lou Yuexin said with emotion.

Xu Si was a little dumbfounded as he watched everyone use their imaginations to automatically complete the story and make even more outrageous guesses.
