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

"No one, I bumped into it accidentally," Liu Shuisheng replied with his head tilted to the side, covering his face with his hands, not wanting anyone to see.

But Jinbao was a tactless person and insisted on circling around to look at him, which annoyed Liu Shuisheng so much that he put down his hand in anger and raised his head and shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? I'll show you enough!"

"Jinbao, what are you doing? Go your own way and don't hang around others," Jinbao's grandfather hurriedly pulled Jinbao to his side. This silly kid, didn't he see that the kids in his class were getting angry and embarrassed, and he even stuck to them. Oh! What will happen to this silly kid in the future!

Jin Bao was a little confused and said innocently: "What's wrong with you? I didn't ask you to do that. You can't even look at me. You're not the bride!"

"You!..." Liu Shui was angry.

"Alright, stop being so arrogant and talk to your classmates nicely." Brother Liu ruffled his brother's hair with his big hands, then turned to Jinbao and said softly, "Jinbao, he looks like this, don't worry about him, he was punished by my eldest brother!"

Jin Bao tilted his head in confusion: "Then why did Brother Liu want to beat him up?"

"Uh..." Liu Erge scratched his hair and said awkwardly, "Haha, it's actually not a big deal. My eldest brother came back from the capital and found out that he only got a B on the monthly test and that he was busy fishing every day. He couldn't stand him, so he beat him up."

Jinbao was puzzled: "But I only got a C on the monthly test. I did even worse, but my grandparents didn't beat me. My mom even praised me for my ability to memorize and rewarded me with a chicken leg!"

Liu Shuisheng could no longer contain his resentment and complained, "That's right! And my brother only got a C grade when he was studying. I'm much better than him. Why did he beat me?!"

Liu Erge's expression changed immediately. He was not in a good mood towards his own brother. He said coldly, "If you want to beat me, then beat me. What? We can't beat me?"

"Hmph, you just like to bully me," Liu Shuisheng said, turned around and ran into the private school yard.

"Wait for me!" Jinbao shouted and ran away.

"Grandpa Jinbao, we'll go in first. You can go back slowly. Let my second sister bring lunch over." Zhang Ping'an greeted Grandpa Jinbao and ran into the yard with Liu Shengyuan.

"Run slower!" Grandpa Jinbao shouted, and smiled at the backs of the group of lively children who looked like little chicks. He really hoped that such ordinary and happy days could continue forever.

After seeing that all the children had entered the private school, he left with his hands behind his back.

"Luo Fuan, Luo Fugui, good morning!" Jinbao walked into the classroom and greeted them warmly.

Liu Shuisheng had already entered the classroom and sat down, but he was probably still embarrassed, so he supported his face with his hands and read with his back to the others.

"Well, good morning," Luo Fuan was still eating a fried cake. This was baked by his aunt early in the morning. It was so delicious!

"Wow, it smells so good!" Jinbao sniffed and exclaimed.

"Delicious, right? This was baked by my aunt early in the morning. I put scrambled eggs and diced radish in it. It's delicious," Luo Fuan said proudly.

This made Jinbao hungry. Hmm, I want to eat some...

"Jinbao, do you want to eat it? Fugui's hasn't been touched yet. How about I give it to you?" Luo Fuan said generously.

"This...this is not good, right?!" He said this, but his eyes were already glued to the fried pancake.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Fugui doesn't want to eat it," Luo Fuan said as he went to take the fried cake from his cousin's table.

Luo Fugui didn't react either. He just laid his head on the table, obviously a little depressed.

Jinbao took it and took a big bite. Hmm, it was indeed delicious!

When Zhang Pingan and Liu Shengyuan walked into the classroom, they saw two foodies and two silent people. For a moment, the classroom was very quiet except for the sound of chewing.

"What's wrong with Fugui?" Liu Shengyuan asked in confusion.

"I don't know either. He's been like this for the past few days. He won't tell me when I ask him. He even refused to eat the pancakes my aunt made especially for him this morning." Luo Fuan said carelessly. He really didn't know what this cousin was up to.

Zhang Ping'an heard Jinbao talk about what happened in the classroom two days ago, but Luo Fugui was just an average-looking child, a little more careful than the average child. If too much new knowledge was forced upon him, he would not be able to absorb it, which would not be a good thing for him.

However, it would be best for the teacher to talk about this matter. They are all classmates, so it would be difficult to speak up, and even if he did, it would not be convincing.

I have to find a chance to mention this to the teacher after class today. Sometimes the correct guidance a good teacher gives to students can even change a child's life. Zhang Pingan, who lived in the era of information explosion in his previous life, knows this truth very well.

Today, since there was no donkey cart to take them there, and two of them were in a bad mood, it was time for class just after they finished reviewing.

As soon as class starts, everyone sits up straight and they have adapted to the current way of teaching.

Mr. Luo came in as usual and continued to teach the Three Character Classic. While teaching, he would connect the knowledge with small things that happened in life to make it easier for the students to understand and remember. His speech speed was neither fast nor slow, and he told the story in a leisurely manner. Even Zhang Pingan did not find it boring.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to go home from school in the afternoon. Luo Fugui was obviously even more depressed. He lowered his head, put on his school bag, and walked slowly home.

Luo Fuan hadn't finished packing yet, and called out in confusion from behind: "Fugui, why are you going home so soon? Let's play for a while before going back."

Luo Fugui didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear it.

Luo Fuan had to quickly pack up his things and catch up with him, complaining: "Wait for me, what's wrong with you, are you crazy?"

Brother Liu was already waiting at the door. Liu Shuisheng quickly took his things and went out, saying happily, "Ayuan, Ping'an, Jinbao, I'm leaving!"

Zhang Ping'an and Liu Shengyuan looked at each other and smiled. They were also ready to go find Mr. Luo to continue the class.

Before leaving, Zhang Pingan said worriedly, "Jinbao, read your book by yourself. We are going to find the teacher for class. If you need anything, go to the study and call us."

"Well! Go ahead!" Jinbao nodded, waved his hand nonchalantly, and then lowered his head to read.

The afterglow of the setting sun hit the window lattice of the study, making it look like it was coated with a layer of gold. There were a few bamboos in the vase in the study, looking at the vibrant and green bamboos. Mr. Luo continued his last teaching content.

Although he didn't show anything on his face, he was very surprised at the two children's learning and comprehension abilities. They were much better than his own son's when he was studying, and his own son was already the best student he had ever taught.

To prevent the two from becoming proud, Mr. Luo refrained from praising them, maintaining a calm exterior. There were too many examples of people who were brilliant when they were young, but not necessarily brilliant when they grew up. He had to take good care of these two promising youngsters.

At the same time, I am preparing to make a new teaching plan for the two children!

An hour later, Master Luo stroked his beard with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Okay, that's all for today's class. You can go home quickly!"

"Master, I have something else I want to ask you," Zhang Ping'an stood up and bowed.
