By the afternoon when Chen Xi came back from school, his house was basically cleaned up. Dingdian,...

Zhou used the money from Chenxi to sell paintings to buy new bed sheets and bedding, but prepared them for Daier. In addition to the bed sheets and bedding, there were also small pillows, which were now hung in the yard.

The air in Fujian and Zhejiang is humid, and things at home are very prone to moisture. Therefore, Zhou took advantage of the sun and took out the old sheets and bedding to dry them, filling the patio with colorful colors.

"Where is Mom?"

I searched for several houses in Chenxi, but I didn't see Zhou. I couldn't help but ask Lin Dai, who was sitting in front of the door, holding her cheeks in a daze.

Lin Dai came to her senses, her pretty face showed a cute smile, and the sun shone brightly, she pointed to the yard on both sides: "My mother has gone to visit her, saying she is visiting neighbors, and it's time to come back soon."

In a new place, you naturally have to establish a good relationship with your neighbors.

Chen Xi thought to himself that I am so smart. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If there is anything wrong with you, you can’t count on relatives who live far away. It’s still neighbors who can help you.

"You wait at home, I'll be back after going out for a while."

Chen Xiyi ran out of the house, and he was thinking about returning to the old yard to transfer the things over.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the old yard, I saw Wang Lingzhi sitting on the threshold where the door was opened, drawing something on the ground with a stone in a depressed manner.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Xi walked up and asked.

When Wang Lingzhi heard Chen Xi's voice, he raised his head in surprise: "Senior Brother, I've seen you. I'm worried that you will move away silently, I don't know where to find you!"

Chen Xi didn't expect that this kid was thinking about him.

Originally, he just used Wang Lingzhi to get some pen, ink, paper and inkstone to make paintings. Who would have thought that after spending a long time, he became a good friend unknowingly. Now that he doesn't see him, he's so anxious that he's thinking about it.

"Aren't I back now? Go in and get some things for me, and I'll take you to the recognition door later."

"Senior brother's business is mine."

Wang Lingzhi was quite loyal and got up and went into the yard to help Chen Xi carry things. At this time, Butler Liu happened to come to collect the room and saw two little guys getting up a little strange.

"Young Master, what are you doing?" Butler Liu couldn't help asking curiously as he watched his young master talk intimately with the son of the long-term worker, holding a lot of things in his hand.

"Oh, Butler Liu, I'll come to my friend to practice calligraphy. If there is nothing to do, we'll leave first."

Wang Lingzhi didn't want to talk to Butler Liu, so he just said perfunctoryly, so he picked up a cloth bag containing rice paper and pen and ink, and followed Shen Xi and left the yard.

The two of them came to the intersection of the street where the pharmacy was. Chen Xi suddenly worried that my mother would go home, so she was not easy to explain the origin of these things at hand, so she thought about finding a place to hide them.

"Junior brother, I thought about it. It's not appropriate to move things to my new home. Do you have a good place to hide?" Chen Xi looked at Wang Lingzhi who was running out of breath.

Wang Lingzhi thought for a while and said, "Why do you want to take it to my house?"

Seeing Chen Xi shook her head, Wang Lingzhi suddenly smiled, "I remembered a good place. There are two dilapidated houses behind my ancestral hall. My father said that it used to be a pig house, but later it was abandoned without anyone managing it. It was dirty and no one went there. Otherwise, what if we put things there?"

Chen Xi gave a thumbs up: "Junior brother, you are getting smarter and smarter, let's hide your things there."

Wang Lingzhi was praised by Chen Xi for a few words and suddenly became fluttering.

After helping Chen Xi hide the things, Wang Lingzhi followed Chen Xi to Chen Xi's new home. At this time, Zhou happened to come out of his neighbor's house and scolded Chen Xi:

"You damn boy, don't go home after school, where did you go?" Suddenly, seeing a boy of the same age behind Chen Xi, Zhou immediately changed into a smile, "Silly, whose child is this?"

"Mom, this is my classmate, and I will come to my house to play in the future."

Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, okay, get close to classmates and have good children. Come here often in the future and just think that this is your own home."

Wang Lingzhi was not very adapted to Zhou's enthusiasm, so he leaned into Chen Xi's ear and whispered: "Your mother is so fierce, forget it. When your mother is not at home next time, I will come to teach martial arts with my senior brother."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

When Zhou entered the yard, he asked strangely: "Why did the child leave when he saw me and didn't come in to sit?"

Chen Xi smiled and pulled Zhou's skirt: "Mom, you scolded me so fiercely, scared my classmate away."

Zhou suddenly realized, but his face was full of disdain: "It's natural for my mother to scold my son. Why don't I let me scold you? Even if you really have a promising future and win the top scorer, I will still scold you."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "If I win the top scholar, then my mother will be the wife of the imperial decree. I will be able to scold me no matter how much I scold you."

"Every family still understands the wife of the imperial decree. Do you think it's a performance on the stage?"

Zhou was unforgivable, but he felt happy in his heart and longed for: "If there was really that genius. Go in, go in and worship the old man, pray to the Bodhisattva to bless him, and bless you, a kid, will be promising in the future without illness or disaster."

There is a wooden tablet in the main hall of the house, with no words on it. Chen Xi pointed at the tablet and looked at Zhou: "Mom, it's empty."

"Mom is illiterate, how do you write? When you have a future, when you see the old man knowing his name again, you can write it yourself. What should I see! Hurry up and don't let you stand, kowtow quickly, three times, every day when you come back from school, the first thing you do is to worship the old man. If you don't worship one day, let me see how I deal with you!"

Chen Xi felt awkward in his heart. It was so difficult to kowtow to someone who never existed and not leave him every day in the future.

In the evening, Zhou went to the Wang family because Shen Mingjun didn't know where the new family was, so she had to lead the way.

In the evening, the family gathered together and happily posed for the first meal after moving to the new home. The food was just on the table, and Hui Niang and her daughter came to visit with gifts.

Hui Niang's little daughter is named Xier. She is cute, but she is so cute that she is ignorant. She always stares at Chen Xi with her big eyes when eating.

After dinner, Hui Niang and her daughter were sent away, and the family was ready to go to bed.

Chen Xi and Lin Dai were sleeping in a room, but now the conditions at home are getting better, Zhou asked his future daughter-in-law to live in a room alone, but only separated from Chen Xi's room by a door.

"Go to bed early. Every day, I hear that those promising children have to get up early to read loudly. You can't be lazy, do you know?"

Chen Xi stuck out his tongue.

Lin Dai felt very wronged. Zhou originally said that Chen Xi would learn to write and teach her, but recently there were many things at home. Zhou took her to learn needlework every day and never mentioned the things about teaching her to read.

When Zhou took the oil lamp back to the room, Chen Xi stood behind the curtain at the door, looking at Lin Dai who was cleaning up the bed under the moonlight, and smiled and said, "Dai'er, I heard from the teacher tell some stories, would you please tell me?"

Lin Dai looked back, nodded quickly, and came to Chenxi's room wearing wooden clogs and slippers.

The two sat down beside the bed, and Chen Xi smiled and said, "My story is so exciting."

"What kind of story, I don't believe it sounds so good."

Chen Xi showed a smug smile on his face, but he told his story seriously: "I'm telling the story of a scholar taking the exam."

"A scholar is a scholar. His ability to go to Beijing to take the exam means that he has obtained the qualification of a student and has passed the provincial examination. One night, he walked to the wilderness and saw many graves in front of him. Do you know what graves are?"

Lin Dai's face had become a little pale, her body trembled slightly, but she was still stubborn: "The grave pile is just a place where people are buried. What's so strange about it?"

"Yes, it's not surprising that it's just a place where people are buried. It's already late, and there's a dilapidated temple next to the tomb, and there's a forest behind the temple."

"The scholar had no place to stay, so he lived in the temple. He was alone. The wind was blowing at night, and the treetops made a whimpering sound, which made people get goose bumps all over his body. The scholar was focused, lit the candlestick, ate some dry food and studied hard. In the middle of the night, someone suddenly knocked on the door."

"Dong, dun, dun."

Chen Xi knocked on the bed three times as if he was badly absent, and Lin Dai shouted "Wow" loudly.
