The journey of the only child of a peasant family to take the imperial examination

In the end, Ma was the only one who washed the clothes. Zhang didn't even allow them to eat. It was dark when they finished. When Zhang Laosan woke up, he wanted to ask his mother for mercy, but after knowing the reason, he said nothing. If he did, he might get beaten by his mother. In the end, Ma was wrong in this matter.

The next day, Zhang Ping'an went to school as usual. He had specially asked for leave from his teacher yesterday. Jinbao also wanted to ask for leave, but his grandparents, who were always obedient to him, refused it outright. No matter how much he cried, he just wouldn't agree. In the eyes of the older generation, reading and teachers are very respected, so how could he ask for leave casually?

"Ping'an, Ping'an, I'm here, hehe", Jinbao couldn't wait to shout when he saw Zhang Ping'an standing at the door waiting for him from afar. He was so disappointed because he went to school alone yesterday.

When he got closer, Zhang Ping'an handed over a bag of candy and said, "Here, I saved this especially for you. This is the wedding candy for my sister's wedding yesterday."

Jin Baoxi's eyebrows curved, and he took the candy and said, "Ping An, how can you be so nice!"

Zhang Pingan shook off his goosebumps and said speechlessly, "Hurry up and get in the car. We have to get to the private school early to review!"

"Yeah!" Jinbao responded and climbed into the car nimbly and sat down. Maybe it was because studying was too hard, but Jinbao had become visibly thinner in the past two months. His parents and grandparents were so distressed that they tried to find ways to make delicious food for him.

After seeing the two of them sitting down, Zhang Laoer started the donkey cart with a "bang" and headed towards the private school in a good mood. Things were getting better and better at home, so Zhang Laoer's face didn't look so miserable anymore, and his expression showed a bit of ease and liveliness.

The two villages were close together, and they arrived in less than a quarter of an hour. Zhang Laoer, in a familiar tone, said, "Stay in class and don't run around, okay?"

Zhang Ping'an replied helplessly, "Dad, I know!" Although he had told him many times that he would not run around, Zhang Laoer would still remind him as usual every time he sent him to the private school gate. Now Zhang Ping'an was no longer able to refute and just agreed.

When they walked into the classroom, the other students had already arrived. Their Class C was probably the first class to arrive. Zhang Ping'an put down his schoolbag and distributed a handful of wedding candy to each student. He had specifically asked Xu for this this morning. When Xu heard that it was for classmates to share in the good luck, she was very happy and grabbed a handful. She also told the students to get along well with their classmates.

"Here, this is the wedding candy from my sister's wedding yesterday. I'm sharing it with you so you can share in the good luck," Zhang Ping'an said with a smile.

Liu Shuisheng pinched one and ate it, then asked curiously, "How was it, Ping'an? Was your sister's wedding yesterday fun? It was so lively when my eldest brother got married!"

"Of course it's fun, it's so lively and grand, my brother-in-law's family even rented a sedan chair."

Luo Fuan, eating candy, turned around and asked, "Did I give you a red envelope? What a pity, my sister is still young, and I should be the first one in my family to get married in the future."

"Of course I will. Mine is the thickest!" Zhang Ping'an said proudly, but in the end he gave them all to Xu.

Liu Shengyuan was very envious and said, "How great it is, it's so lively and bustling. I'm the only child in my family, and my father is sometimes not at home. It's usually very quiet"!

Jinbao supported this very much and nodded frantically, "That's right, I'm the only child in my family. My sister and my parents are in town and it's so boring. I want to go to town with them, but my grandma won't let me. She says that working in a store in town is very hard and it's not as comfortable as home. Alas!" After saying that, he supported his chin and sighed!

Luo Fugui said softly, "It's true. Your grandma is right. It's very hard work in the store, and it's also very hard work in my oil mill. Sometimes when I go to pick up my dad, I can't breathe after standing inside for a while. It's stuffy, hot, and noisy. It's not comfortable at all!"

Seeing that the topic was about to go off track, Zhang Pingan took out a book and said, "Why don't we start reviewing now, according to the old rules!"

"Okay!" The others responded in unison.

Then everyone started to review together, asking each other questions, deepening their memory, and filling in the gaps. The sound of reading aloud filled the classroom!

In the first monthly test last month, Zhang Pingan, Liu Shengyuan and Luo Fugui all got A, Liu Shuisheng and Luo Fuan got B, and Jinbao got C. The two people who wanted to be the boss the most did not get A, so naturally the matter of being the boss was shelved. They all agreed to see the results of the next test, so now the enthusiasm for learning in the class is very high.

Luo Fuan, in particular, no longer sleeps in. He struggles to get up every morning when his family calls him, and does his homework seriously when he goes home at night. His mother is very surprised and says that he has made the right decision to study hard, because as a mother, she knows her son's character best.

I heard from my nephew Fugui that the classmates in the class were very nice. When they took Fuan to study, they specially made a big bowl of fried meatballs for Luo Fuan to take to school and share with his classmates.

The relationship between the few of them has been getting better and better in the past two months. Now everyone has developed the habit of reviewing on their own in the morning. Seeing this, Mr. Luo was secretly satisfied and sped up the teaching progress a lot.

As the time of schooling got longer, Zhang Pingan became more serious and hardworking in his studies. He once naively thought that since he had the thinking of his previous life and the learning foundation, it should not be difficult to get a degree, and he even had an advantage over other students in the class.

But gradually, he discovered that some people are just born with talent, such as Liu Shengyuan. Liu Shengyuan's memory and logical ability are particularly strong, far beyond ordinary people. Although he has not learned the multiplication and division table, under his father's teaching, he is already familiar with numbers within one thousand, can draw inferences about other situations by analogy, and can memorize things quickly. In time, as he learns more and more, he will definitely open up a huge gap with other people in the class.

Although Mr. Luo often praised the two of them, saying that he and Liu Shengyuan were the most talented in the class, Zhang Pingan knew that he was actually only temporarily taking advantage of the thinking advantage of adulthood. Liu Shengyuan was a real academic genius, while he was a fake academic master.

Invisibly, he also felt tremendous pressure from Liu Shengyuan.

After a while, Uncle Liu came in to bring in Mr. Luo's teapot and teacups, indicating that class was about to start, and the students sped up their review.

Mr. Luo continued to teach the Three Character Classic this morning. According to the normal teaching plan, this Three Character Classic would take at least one semester. Children who are just starting out have poor comprehension ability, poor self-awareness, and cannot sit still. They start from scratch, so they learn very slowly.

But the students he accepted this year were very different, especially Liu Shengyuan and Zhang Pingan, who were very talented and self-disciplined, which surprised him. He also didn't want to delay the children, so the teaching progress was gradually deepening and accelerating.

No teacher wants to meet a good seedling. I just hope that these two can really go further as I expected!
