The whole family was having dinner happily, and it could be seen from the smiles on everyone's faces that they were in a good mood.
Because tomorrow is the first day of June, Yuelaiju will reopen.
According to the agreement, Xiao Changfu will work in Yuelai, which means that the livelihood problem that has always troubled the Xiao family has been solved. Xiao Changfu will no longer have to live a fishing life in the future, and the family will have a lot of life.
improve.
At the same time, when Xiao Chu returned home tonight, he also brought back good news that Yuelaiju wanted to order the amount of mutton that sheep had.
This is a great thing for the Xiao family, because every time they sell a sheep, they can make a lot of money.
Xiao Chu was quite happy about the smiles on the whole family's faces. Although he knew his life experience, the Xiao family raised him after all, and he always wanted to repay some kindness. Xiao Chu had already thought about it.
, when you find a suitable opportunity in the future, you will give the restaurant to the Xiao family, so that the whole family can do something.
According to Xiao Chu's estimate, judging from the popularity of Xinjiang Dashang, the mutton in the store might be in short supply tomorrow, so he asked Xiao Changfu to send a sheep tomorrow.
During the meal, Mr. Xiao, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Chu'er, thanks to you, my Xiao family can have today!" Old Master Xiao said slowly with a little excited expression on his face.
Xiao Chu was not too surprised at Mr. Xiao’s reaction and said, “Grandpa, why are you talking about these things? I’m always from the Xiao family, right?”
Mr. Xiao nodded repeatedly. If he had a grudge against Xiao Chu because of his identity, but after this period of incident, Mr. Xiao truly accepted Xiao Chu's identity and regarded him as himself.
The grandson is here to see him. After all, Xiao Chu is calling out to his grandfather, and he has made such a great contribution to the Xiao family, so of course he is very pleased to call Mr. Xiao.
After a while, Xiao Chu wanted to tell Xiao Changan about the Huaiyuan Provincial Poetry Competition, but suddenly a sound of a carriage and horse came into Xiao Chu's ears, and he heard the movements of the sound, as if he was really heading towards the Xiao family.
Comes from the direction.
Still, the others in the Xiao family yard did not hear it because their hearing was far less sensitive than Xiao Chu.
The development of the matter was indeed as Xiao Chu expected, and the members of the Xiao family heard the knocking sound.
This made everyone a little strange. It was already a time when the weather was declining. Will someone visit him at this time?
Xiao Changfu walked to the gate and opened the door and saw three familiar faces. The three of them were the three gentlemen in Dingyuan County, Gu Changqing, Li Zhiyuan and Chen Changxue. Looking back, he saw two more.
Zhang Mo's familiar face.
Although it was a bit depressed that they were coming to the door so late, Xiao Changfu respectfully invited several people in.
Mr. Xiao was sitting in the main seat. When he saw the three gentlemen coming, he was not too surprised and quickly stood up to greet him. You know, these three gentlemen have such an important position in Dingyuan County. Now the three of them are in person.
Visiting, this is a big deal!
"Three gentlemen, don't be fine!"
"Mr. Xiao, can you come in?"
Everyone has met several times in the past, so they didn't have too much greetings and got to the point.
"Mr. Xiao, I will introduce two people to you."
After speaking, Li Zhiyuan pointed his finger to the two behind and said, "This is Mr. Yu Xiaozhi from Huaiyuan Provincial Academy, and this is Mr. Ye Jinyu from Chongming Prefecture Academy. Today I made a special trip to visit you!"
Mr. Xiao’s face was full of smiles. Although he did not know the important position of the school, he still knew about Chongming Prefecture and Huaiyuan Province. I think that those who could be treated as such a courtesy by the three gentlemen in Dingyuan County would definitely not be able to be.
Will be average.
Mr. Xiao could even guess something in his heart. The arrival of these two people is not related to Xiao Chu.
Then Mr. Xiao greeted each other and chatted for a few casual words, which was considered to be acquaintance.
After a moment, Li Zhiyuan got to the point and turned his head to Xiao Chang'an and said, "Chang'an, you have studied poetry and books hard for many years. I wonder if you are interested in the Huaiyuan Provincial Poetry Competition?"
After the words came, Xiao Changan was a little confused. Mr. Ji came here specifically today, not to look for Chu'er? Their target was actually him?
This is strange, this is the first time in more than ten years.
Mr. Xiao was also a little confused. He was very proud of his identity as a very gentleman, but they actually came to invite Xiao Chang'an in person? What does this mean? It is obvious that Xiao Chang'an has a value worthy of their hard work!
"My Xiao family is hopeful for revitalization!" Old Master Xiao sighed.
"Huai...Huaiyuan Provincial Poetry Competition?" Xiao Changan was a little confused and said intermittently.
"Yes, it's Huaiyuan Provincial Poetry Competition. In the past, one person was selected from the top team of Chongming Prefecture Literature Competition to participate in the Huaiyuan Provincial Poetry Competition. This year, our Dingyuan County won the top team, and you are a player of the team.
, so naturally I am qualified to participate." Li Zhiyuan explained to Xiao Changan.
So that's it.
After hearing this, Xiao Chang'an's expression began to be excited. You know, being able to participate in a provincial poetry competition is an opportunity that scholars in Dingyuan County and even Chongming Prefecture dream of!
As long as you can get some ranking in the poetry competition, it will be of great benefit to your development.
However, when he thought that Xiao Changan's face became a little darker, he still knew how much he tried. If he went there rashly and didn't get any ranking, he would be very embarrassed!
Then Xiao Changan bowed and bowed to the gentlemen and said slowly: "Report to me, I know that I am not talented and knowledgeable, so I should leave this opportunity to others."
Hearing this, the faces of the gentlemen were thrilling. Why are the father and son both like this?
Sure enough, Xiao Chu's humility must have been taught by Xiao Chang'an. Thinking of this, the two gentlemen Yu and Ye looked at Xiao Chang'an even more satisfied.
If Xiao Changan knew what they were thinking, he would definitely feel ashamed. This is my true words. What is the humble word?
Notice the look of the gentlemen looking at him, Xiao Changan continued, "Several gentlemen, Xiao Chu, are quite talented. He is also a contestant who participated in the Chongming Mansion Literature Competition. If you want the children to participate, you must be
Better than me.”
Xiao Changan still knew about Xiao Chu's talent. After all, he saw everything Xiao Chu did.
"Chang'an, don't be humble. Xiao Chu has already explained to us how to teach him to study step by step. We know that you love your son and want to leave this opportunity to your son, but you can't
It delays your development!" Chen Changxue said slowly.
"Xiao Chu explained your affairs to us. He personally recommended you to us. Don't refuse. You should come down for the Huaiyuan Provincial Games quota." Gu Changqing also said to Xiao Chang'an.
After hearing this, Xiao Changan felt helpless. He didn't know what Xiao Chu was doing, and he couldn't understand why Xiao Chu did such a "scammer" move.
Then Xiao Changan looked at Xiao Chu, and saw Xiao Chu looking at him with a smile on his face, looking very interested.
