It was so hot that walking in the sun was like walking by a hearth.When the wind blows, waves of heat rush towards people.

Ankang hid under the pine tree in the yard with peace.He lay on the recliner, played the fan, and fell asleep staggeringly.

Ping An chased after Huahua, running around the pine tree flower bed in circles.

Huzi sat on a small bench with his chin in his hands, and gradually fell asleep amidst the chirping of cicadas.

Tired from running, Ping An walked to his brother's reclining chair and climbed up by grabbing the armrest. He wanted to sleep with his brother.

Ankang opened his eyes uncomfortably, and hugged Ping An to the reclining chair, and the two brothers rocked on the reclining chair together, rocking and falling asleep.

Huahua lay on the ground and slowly closed her eyes.

Falling asleep, Ankang rolled into his brother's arms. After a while, Ankang felt that the clothes in his arms were wet.He opened his eyes suddenly, his head was a little confused just after waking up, Ankang couldn't help laughing when he saw Ping'an sweating profusely in his arms.

Picking up Ping An and putting it on the rocking chair, Ankang stretched himself, took two sips of tea from the small table beside him.After waking Huzi up, the master and servant hurried out of the yard.

Huahua opened her eyes and glanced at the backs of the two hurriedly leaving, then raised her head to look at the little master sleeping soundly on the rocking chair, and he lay down quietly again.

Today is the day when Chen Ziche and Qiu Yuan go to Beijing to rush for the exam.

Needless to say, Ankang and Pang Youde gave up the imperial examination long ago.

Qiu Yuan, Chen Ziche and Zhao Qin passed the examination of scholar last year.

Zhao Qin knew that he was disabled, even if he took the imperial examination, he would not be able to go far in the officialdom, so he gave up the imperial examination.

Only Chen Ziche and Qiu Yuan persisted.

When Ankang and Huzi rushed to the magazine office with their bags, Chen Ziche and Qiu Yuan were sitting and talking together, Zhao Qin was listening quietly, and there were two piles of luggage at the door of the room.

"It's really hot this year." After running for a few steps, Ankang felt that his underwear was soaked.

Before waiting for the people in the house to answer, Ankang asked immediately, "When will the car come?"

"About half an hour." Chen Ziche replied.

Ankang opened the package he brought, which contained a lot of candied fruit. "It's hot, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat, so I went to Wufangzhai to buy jujube preserves. Eat more sour appetizers. The hawthorn slices can also be soaked in water to drink."

"Both of you bring some."

Ankang divided the two parcels, one for Chen Ziche and the other for Qiu Yuan.Just as I was about to say a few more words to Chen Ziche and Qiu Yuan, the voice of the driver sounded from outside the yard, "The car is here, the car is here. Get in the car for the exam."

Chen Ziche and Qiu Yuan hurriedly picked up the bags on the ground, while Ankang and Zhao Qin helped put the things on the car.

There were two other students sitting in the car with packages beside them. It seemed that they were also going to Beijing to rush for the exam.

The county government of Yuyang County dispatched a car in a unified way, and sent those from Yuyang County who were going to Beijing to take the exam together to the capital, and then picked them up together.And don't have to pay a little fare yourself.Because of this, An Zhonghua was widely praised by scholars in Yuyang County.

Students from wealthy families with spare money are fine, and they don’t have to suffer too much on the way to the exam.

Those whose family conditions are not good, some take a car for a day or two, and have to walk for half a day by themselves.Changing and renting a car back and forth also takes a lot of time.

"Don't be frugal, both of you. Take good care of yourself outside." Ankang stuffed a bank note into Chen Ziche's package, and said, "Don't save me, come back with a champion, let me follow the glory .In the future, I will have a champion friend, so it will save me a lot of face if I tell it.”

The other two people in the carriage stared dumbfoundedly at Ankang stuffing the bank notes, envious in their hearts, where can they find such a friend?

Qiu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hand at Ankang, "Understood. We will take care of ourselves."

Chen Ziche waved his hand at Ankang with a look of reluctance, "Don't give it away. Ankang, you have to take good care of yourself."

Ankang nodded vigorously, and watched the ox cart swayingly carried Chen Ziche and Qiu Yuan away from the alley.

After a long while, Ankang felt something, and said in a low voice, "The two of them went far away, why do I still feel empty in my heart?"

Zhao Qin patted him on the shoulder, didn't he, he also felt a little empty.We have experienced too much together, and walked through life and death many times with our arms.In the face of parting, no one can easily let go.

After sending away two good friends, Ankang felt uncomfortable.He wandered the street with his tiger and unknowingly walked to the gate of the county government office.

Just as he was seeing off the guests, Master Hu turned his head and saw Ankang.He trotted over with a big smile on his face. "Young master, it's rare, rare, go to the yamen?"

The county government office in Yuyang County is an old county government office with a history of a hundred years. The paint on the plaque at the door has faded, and it looks dilapidated.

"Master, the signboard of our Yuyang county government office is not good. Look at the lacquer. Those who don't know at first glance think how poor our Yuyang county is. The plaques of the county government office are all lacquered."

"Huzi, take my account, pay some money to the master, and clean up the county government, and make new ones. We can't lose face for our Yuyang County University Hall."

The corners of Master Hu's mouth became even wider, and a series of thanks were mixed with some flattering words.I heard people say that the eldest young master of An's family is a golden baby, but looking at it now, it is indeed so.

When An Zhonghua walked out of the yamen, he heard his son speak loudly, contracting the paint water for the entire yamen.My son is old enough to spend some money.Besides, he can make money himself.Besides, painting the yamen, wouldn't it be a pity for him, a father, to work in this half-old place?

Thinking of this, An Zhonghua involuntarily brought a smile on his face, "Let's go see the University Hall together?"

Ankang was in a bad mood at first, and spent some money carelessly. He just felt better when he heard his father's voice.And his father didn't say that he spent money recklessly, which is rare.

Ankang put away his idle look, stood up obediently, and replied respectfully, "Okay."

Beginning this year, under Ankang's suggestion, An Zhonghua discussed with Master Hu and decided to carry out literacy activities in Yuyang County.So there was the slogan that Song Shitou saw when he first entered Yuyang County: strive for literacy, don't be illiterate.

The construction of a college was also proposed by Ankang, written by Chen Ziche, and published three consecutive issues in the magazine office calling for the construction of a free school.It is necessary to build a school that allows all people in Yuyang County to study for free for two years.

Ankang and others took the lead in donating money.All donation details are also recorded in detail in each issue of the magazine.

The magazine office donated 300 taels.

Wei's firm donated 1000 taels.

Yuyang County Restaurant donated 200 taels.

Zhongwei Fur Shop donated 100 taels.

Wufangzhai donated 100 taels.

An Zhonghua, magistrate of Yuyang County, and the owner of the county government donated 50 taels.

With the first six donations, Ankang approached An Zhonghua to approve a piece of land, buy materials, find workers, and started building a university in a hurry.The magazine office has received a lot of donations one after another, and the source and use of each donation are recorded in detail in the magazine.

From this day on, people who can read read Dao magazines to learn about the construction progress of the university hall.If you can't read, ask someone who can.It can be said that everyone in Yuyang County has witnessed the construction process of the school in Yuyang County.

Mr. Ma was sitting in front of the table, and there was a magazine spread out on the table. The page he read said that the university hall was built.Cut the ribbon on a good day after choosing ten days.

"This Ankang has done so many things with so little knowledge." They are all good deeds that people applaud and can be passed down through the ages.Originally thought that Ankang was no different from those dandies in the past, and I also concluded that Ankang would definitely achieve nothing in the future.Now it seems that everything is wrong.Some people are gold, they will shine in everything.

Master Ma shook his head, sighed, and felt ashamed of his previous judgment.He thought that the knowledge he had learned in his life would also be of some use.Tomorrow, I will go to the magazine office to sign up and be a free lecturer in the university hall.

The author has something to say:

Sisters, I'm back.I have another one on file.

Ankang is really getting better and better.To build a university, to lead everyone to make a fortune.
