Mr. Xiao sat on the main seat and kept looking at Xiao Chu in the living room. Regarding this grandson, he felt that he had not paid much attention to him since he was a child. After all, he was not his biological grandson. He would inevitably be biased in dealing with things.
It's just that what Mr. Xiao didn't expect was that this little guy could show such great potential?
Even Master Chen, who was highly respected in Dingyuan County, bowed down to invite me? And it was still on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Why did he go to such trouble?
Mr. Xiao thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the meaning, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Changan again, but he saw Xiao Changan's eyes constantly looking at Xiao Chu. Although everything was normal, there was a feeling in his heart that said no.
What happened was strange. Although Mr. Xiao tried hard to find clues, it was still to no avail.
Xiao Changan looked at Master Chen with a respectful look on his face, then saluted Master Chen and said respectfully, "Sir, don't worry, my father and son will be on time for the appointment tomorrow."
Mr. Chen was quite satisfied and nodded towards Xiao Changan and his son. Then he turned his eyes to Mr. Xiao and saluted, "Mr. Xiao, I hope you'll forgive me for causing such trouble!"
Mr. Xiao was quite proud to see Mr. Chen's respectful and polite look, but he was even more surprised. Although Mr. Chen said he was polite when he came to the house before, he was not so respectful. Why did he suddenly change now?
What's the reason for this? Mr. Xiao couldn't figure it out. He felt depressed for a while and couldn't understand everything that happened today.
Then Mr. Xiao shook his head and said quickly, "Mr. Chen is my son's mentor. He has taken good care of my son Chang'an for many years. Why bother? Mr. Chen is serious!"
Faced with Mr. Chen's courtesy, Mr. Xiao said that he was very helpful, but he did not dare to rely on him. Mr. Chen not only taught Xiao Changan for a long time, but was now Xiao Cheng's teacher. He even asked for help after the New Year.
Taking Xiao Chu under his wing and reducing his tuition fees by half was a great kindness to the Xiao family.
"In this case, Chen will not disturb you anymore. The invitation has been delivered and I am going back." Old Master Chen stood up, said goodbye to Mr. Xiao, and then walked out.
"Mr. Chen, why are you in such a hurry? How about we stay and have a glass of wine together?" When Mr. Xiao saw Mr. Chen was about to leave after speaking, he naturally wanted to stay for a while.
Chen Changxue smiled faintly when he heard this, and then said, "Mr. Xiao, you're welcome. I still have some things to deal with after I go back, so I won't stay here any longer!"
After saying this, Chen Changxue walked straight out the door.
Seeing Master Chen's resolute attitude, everyone did not try to persuade him to stay and hurriedly escorted Master Chen to the door.
"Everyone, farewell!" Chen Changxue bowed his hands to everyone in the Xiao family, then turned his eyes to Xiao Chu, looked back and forth at Xiao Chu, then turned to Xiao Chang'an and said, "Chang'an, remember not to forget your appointment tomorrow!
"
Xiao Changan and Xiao Chu nodded solemnly.
Seeing this, Chen Changxue was very satisfied and left Zhengjiacun directly.
After Chen Changxue left, Xiao Chu couldn't help but be a little curious. What on earth did Mr. Chen want to find him for? Is it really that important? He even warned him again before leaving. It seems that these three gentlemen should be concerned about this.
This matter was taken very seriously, otherwise Mr. Chen would not have come to send invitations to him in person! However, Xiao Chu thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was.
Mr. Xiao was even more puzzled. He watched Mr. Chen's back gradually disappearing, and immediately turned his head to focus on Xiao Changan and Xiao Chu's father and son. He looked at them straightly, as if
It was as if he wanted to see through these two people.
Everyone in the Xiao family returned to the hall. Ms. Liu had already heard about Mr. Chen's visit to the house. When she learned that Mr. Chen made a special trip to invite Xiao Changan and Xiao Chu and his son, they looked excited. Mr. Chen was in Dingyuan.
She knew the reputation of the county, but even Mrs. Chen came to invite the two of them in person. What did this mean? Mrs. Liu thought in her heart, and hurried to the living room, looking at Xiao Changan and his son, with excitement on her face
The color is more prosperous.
Returning to the living room, Mr. Xiao sat back on the main seat and once again cast his scrutinizing gaze on Xiao Changan and Xiao Chu and his son. He didn't know what he was thinking.
There was silence in the living room for a long time, and then Mr. Xiao was heard to say, "Chang'an, do you know why Mr. Chen asked you to go?"
Hearing this, Xiao Changan couldn't help but become nervous. If the affairs of the literary exchange meeting were exposed, he would be in trouble.
"Father, I don't know!" Xiao Changan said truthfully, not because he wanted to hide anything, but because he really didn't know what Mr. Chen was doing by inviting the father and son. Until now, he was still wondering.
I don’t know if there is any urgent matter, but Mr. Chen can actually send the invitation in person?
Mr. Xiao frowned. This was obviously not the answer he wanted. After all, it could be seen from Mr. Chen's words and deeds that Mr. Chen seemed to attach great importance to this matter, otherwise he would not have delivered the invitation on the first day of the new year.
, he even sent it in person.
Immediately, Mr. Xiao set his sights on Xiao Chu again, and related the matter of Mr. Chen's tuition fee reduction and acceptance of Xiao Chu. Mr. Xiao felt that this matter would have a lot to do with Xiao Chu.
relationship, and then asked Xiao Chu, "Xiao Chu, do you know what Mr. Chen wants to do with you two?"
When Xiao Chu saw Mr. Xiao looking at him with a scrutinizing look, he felt uncomfortable. Didn't this bad old man just accept an invitation? As for interrogating us like prisoners? He is indeed very bad. Xiao Chu is here
I couldn't help but despise Mr. Xiao countless times.
"Reporting to grandpa, my grandson doesn't know what happened." Although Xiao Chu was a little cold to this old man, he was his grandfather in name after all, so he had to meet the proper etiquette.
Mr. Xiao's face hardened, and his facial expression began to tighten involuntarily. Mr. Chen bowed to invite him. It was really strange that the father and son didn't know what was going on.
Seeing the serious and scrutinizing look on Mr. Xiao's face, Xiao Changan's body movements began to become unnatural. It is estimated that if Mr. Xiao presses further, Xiao Changan will most likely reveal all his secrets.
Mr. Xiao seemed to have noticed the serious expression on his third son's face, and couldn't help but feel more curious. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the living room began to become dull, and the entire living room gradually fell into embarrassment.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chu felt helpless for a while, then he looked thoughtful, and hurriedly said to Mr. Xiao, "Oh, by the way, Grandpa, Mr. Chen just gave us an invitation. What do you want to know? Look.
Just look at the invitation."
After Xiao Chu finished speaking, everyone in the living room turned their attention to the invitation in Xiao Changan's hand. Yes, you will know just by looking at the invitation. Xiao Changan and Mr. Xiao were ashamed for a while, but they did not expect that they were worse than the other two.
A child reacts flexibly.
"Father, the invitation is here, please take a look." Xiao Changan heard Xiao Chu's words and did not dare to neglect, and quickly presented the invitation to Mr. Xiao.
After opening the invitation, Mr. Xiao looked a little relieved, nodded immediately, and then said, "So that's it."
After a while, Mr. Xiao looked at Xiao Changan and Xiao Chu inexplicably, because he saw on the invitation that it turned out that Mr. Chen invited Xiao Changan and his son mainly to discuss the matter of Xiao Chumeng's education. Mr. Chen, only
It's just a matter of elementary education, so why bother to mobilize so many people?
Mr. Xiao was helpless for a while, but then he looked calm and thought: Mr. Chen's reaction also happened to confirm from the side how much he attaches importance to the little guy Xiao Chu. To allow the highly respected Mr. Chen to do this, this Xiao Chu
How big is its potential? Is it really like what Master Chen said five years ago, to be granted the title of marquis and prime minister?
Mr. Xiao didn't dare to think about it any further. The three generations of his Xiao family were poor, and things like becoming a marquis and becoming a prime minister were something he had never dreamed of. How could Mr. Chen change Mr. Xiao's mind with just one word?
, Mr. Xiao immediately thought of Xiao Chu's life experience again. This little guy is not a member of his family, is it?
Maybe it’s even possible!
"Father, what is written on it?" Xiao Changan also became interested in the content of the invitation when he saw that Mr. Xiao's expression was uncertain and changing frequently.
"Oh, this invitation asks you and Xiao Chu to go to Ming Yuexuan in the county tomorrow to discuss Xiao Chumeng's studies." The little grandpa frowned. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he had already read the content of the invitation.
After arriving, he still nodded and said to Xiao Changan.
Xiao Chu was a little surprised when he heard this. Discussing the matter of Mengxue? What is there to discuss? Besides, the so-called Mengxue means sending oneself to a private school to be taught by a teacher. Does this matter still need to be discussed? Xiao Chu
I had deep doubts in my heart, but I didn't express my opinion.
The last time Xiao Chengmeng was studying, I went there myself. I think Xiao Cheng also staged a naughty farce in the private school at that time. But if this matter is put on his own head, there will definitely be no problem, isn't it?
It’s a kindergarten, what’s so difficult about it?
"Chu'er, you must listen to your teacher carefully when you go to private school in the future." Mr. Xiao smiled faintly, and then gave Xiao Chu a gentle warning.
"Chu'er remember, grandpa." Xiao Chu pretended to be a good boy and said to Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao nodded, looked at Xiao Chu with a smile, then turned to look at Mrs. Liu, and said to Mrs. Liu, "By the way, from the third family, Xiao Chu is about to learn, and I will have to work hard for you in the future.
, Xiao Chu needs you to do more needlework to pay for school fees."
"Father, don't worry, I will do it." Mrs. Liu responded quickly. Regarding the five taels of silver, Mrs. Liu did not say anything because Xiao Chu had already told Mrs. Liu not to let other people in the family know.
To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
When Xiao Chu heard what Mr. Xiao said, he couldn't help but frown. The meaning of Mr. Xiao's words was very obvious, indicating his position. In other words, he agreed with what Xiao Chumeng learned, but the second half of the words showed that
The meaning of "" doesn't sound very pleasant to Xiao Chu's ears. The meaning is very obvious. That is to say, although I support Xiao Chu's schooling, you still have to figure out the money matters yourself. If you want to support your son's schooling, you have to pay more.
Let's do some needlework.
Xiao Chu curled his lips, quite dissatisfied with this old man Xiao.
However, as a junior, it was hard for Xiao Chu to say anything. Anyway, he already had enough money for schooling, so his mother did not need to work hard to raise it.
In fact, Xiao Chu's concealment of the fifteen taels of silver was mainly to cover up his victory over many talented people in the literary society. After all, he had to keep a low profile. Otherwise, he would actually have given the money to Mr. Xiao.
That's okay, but now Xiao Chu has changed his mind. He will not give any scholarships he receives in the future to them. After all, there is still an idea in his mind that has not been realized.
Mrs. Liu was also very surprised by Mr. Chen's sudden visit. However, when she thought about the last time she took Xiao Chu to the market, Xiao Chu was able to remain calm and talk eloquently in front of many strangers.
I am even more certain that Xiao Chu will definitely not be ordinary in the future. Even if he cannot be granted the title of marquis or prime minister, it should be no problem to come back with a meritorious examination.
Thinking that Xiao Chu was going to go to elementary school soon, Ms. Liu felt excited. After all, sending Xiao Chu to school had been her long-cherished wish, but she had little ability and could only do so much. But now Mr. Chen in the county is willing to waive the exemption.
He was excited for several days after accepting Xiao Chu's tuition, thinking that Chu'er would definitely be very successful in the future.
When Xiao Chu saw Mrs. Liu's relaxed expression, he breathed a sigh of relief. In the five years since he came to the Xiao family, Mrs. Liu's concern for him has been remembered bit by bit in his heart. In terms of dealing with things,
Mrs. Liu even prefers Xiao Chu. For things that are delicious and fun, Mrs. Liu will always ask Xiao Cheng to give way to his younger brother.
When Xiao Chu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia, and he felt like he had taken root. Originally, he was a stranger to everything in this world, but God took pity on him and first allowed him to have Mrs. Jiang, and then he had Mrs. Jiang.
Mr. Liu, these two mothers took good care of themselves, calmed down their gradually throbbing hearts, and calmly faced the life after time travel.
It can be said that as a modern person, Xiao Chu's life after time travel is boring. Although he can see different novel things every day, after all, the lifestyle and environment here are different from his previous life. However, there are
After seeing these two mothers, my anxious heart gradually calmed down and I slowly adapted to the boring life here.
Even, in some aspects, Xiao Chu's feelings for his adoptive mother Liu are deeper than his biological mother Jiang.
Xiao Chu felt moved in his heart, his eyes turned red, and he immediately hugged Mr. Liu and said with tears on his face, "Mom, don't worry, I will study hard in the future, and when I come back with a top score, I will build a big house.
Find a lot of maids to serve you!"
Hearing this, Ms. Liu couldn't help but giggle. How old is this little guy? Where did he get so many ideas? But seeing the red eyes of Xiao Chu, he didn't say much and patted her gently.
He patted Xiao Chu on the back and said, "Chu'er is the best. Mom believes in you. When Chu'er becomes successful in the future, mom will look forward to living in a big house!"
Everyone in the living room laughed when they saw Xiao Chu's impish appearance, but Xiao Changan was not like that. His eyes when he looked at Xiao Chu were full of solemnity, and even a little bit of hope was revealed. From Xiao Chu's literary career
Judging from the performance above, if you want to come back as top pick, I'm afraid it's really possible!
