The next day, Yan Yu began to give her father special training before the exam.
Still unable to live peacefully at home, on the road, in the village, in the charcoal field, at the repair sites of various broken houses...
The main focus is hard study and training.
First, go through the basic original questions in the arithmetic book, then do it again after making slight changes, and repeat the wrong questions three times... The classic original questions will be silent...
Then there is the recitation that Yan Laoer is familiar with. He strives to be able to pronounce the previous sentence and think of the next sentence, to be able to silently pronounce the previous sentence when there is a second sentence, know the source, and write difficult words well...
Yan Yu is a person who has a horizontal contrast with his own level.
For example, her eldest brother, such as Liang Tongsheng.
Liang Tongsheng is better than her in reading more, whether it is words or articles, writing is definitely better than her, but in terms of in-depth understanding, logical arrangement and keeping the main point of the whole text...I am afraid she is even better.
Yan Xiangheng is a little worse than Liang Tongsheng. This is an advantage due to age, which can only be equalized with time.
This gap will be difficult to make up for at least two to three years.
My uncle once said that my eldest brother is no problem as a scholar. So from comparison, we can see that her level is almost equal to that of a scholar?
Therefore, Yan Yu asked herself whether she could tutor her father, a poor student with pre-exam syndrome.
If he really let him go to Mr. Cheng's place, she would not be at ease.
Every one of the adults I have come into contact with is not simple.
Think about it, they are all elites who fought hard in the imperial examination field with thousands of troops, and they have served as officials for many years. Which one is free?
Mr. Cheng is just a prankster. He likes to spread gossip with his master and is well aware of all the happenings in Yongning City. How can her father keep it a secret?
If you really get in front of Mr. Cheng, you'll see something out of nowhere.
Her godfather had to let them know, and he would not be allowed to talk about it to anyone until he died.
It's not that it's serious if anyone knows about it, but it's her godfather who got the news from the King of England.
What is a confidant?
A confidant is one who can be trusted.
From the perspective of the superior, you can do some things secretly, and he doesn't care.
But if you do things with your mouth, it will not be so reassuring.
Yan Yu also considered whether to send a message to her elder brother.
Then I thought about it, with her elder brother's level... she really didn't need it.
The uncle attaches great importance to teaching them practical matters, so the eldest brother is good at both arts and sciences and is not lame.
"Xiao Er, the method you mentioned really works. Look, this is what we froze yesterday!" Xiao Xiaozi said excitedly.
How could Yan Yu not think of the problem that Yan Laoer thought of about the difficulty of getting ice?
In this season when dripping water turns into ice, what can be done faster than using molds to freeze ice!
As long as they have the corresponding mold and only need two or three hours, they can freeze the shape they want.
Yan Yu and the others used ice cubes from local materials. It took them a lot of work to dig out these two large ice troughs. They put soil and hay clippings in them for insulation. The ice removal went smoothly, except for a few spots.
If there are adhesions, just use a file to repair them.
After the inspection, Yan Yu said: "It seems that the ice mold is not working. The adhesion is too strong. Since we want to save trouble, it is best to pour it in and shape it immediately. I will move the square wooden box from home to try it. If it works, I will
Remember you have some at home too, bring them all."
Square wooden boxes became popular for a while, because the Yan family was using them, and the village followed suit and made some. The shape is simple and the materials are easy to obtain. You can also make them with crude boards made at home. Of course, the effect of filling water is good or bad. Later, everyone
I still feel that the round barrel is useful, and the square box is not used anymore.
I used it for a while while pressing the fodder, and then left it alone.
Look now, huh? It can still be used?
The children did not wait for Yan Yu to finish the experiment, but pulled their own sledges and rushed home.
That's right, the children in Xiao'an Village are so good at traveling.
If there is no dog at home, they are not afraid. They can pull it by themselves and run not much slower than the dog...
Yan Yu was about to calculate the amount of ice when he slapped his forehead.
What a ready-made arithmetic problem!
"Dad! Come and help me with the math!" Yan Yu shouted.
Yan Laoer was sitting in the igloo built by the children on the river, studying questions. Not to mention, this igloo looked cold, but it was really okay to stay there.
Light a fire, and the light from the fire will make the ice cubes glow red, which is beautiful and warm.
"Come on, come on!" Yan Laoer walked out and immediately felt the severe cold outside, shrinking his neck.
"What the hell?"
"Calculate the amount of ice cubes used in this igloo." Yan Yu said.
"It's still a matter of calculation. Just ask a child to count." Yan Laoer said subconsciously.
"Dad! This is a real problem that needs to be solved by arithmetic in life!" Yan Yu said with a sullen face: "If you have to count for everything, what else do people need to study arithmetic? Just count!"
"You're right, I guess!" Yan Laoer didn't argue with his daughter, mainly because he couldn't argue...
Yan Yu was still standing by: "Any solution can be used, easy or difficult, all for solving problems. Except for the a few original questions in the arithmetic examination, which require good steps to be written down, you can do whatever you want.
The key to performance is right or wrong. This is much better than when I took the exam. We were not allowed to make a mistake in any step. If you use an over-the-top solution, you may not be awarded points. It is common to solve a question that fills a paper.
Any larger characters must be written on the back..."
"My dear girl! It takes so much trouble to make your igloo. Even if you use a mold to remove the ice, it's still laborious. In fact, an igloo can be made. Look at the thick snow on the ground. Building an igloo is much faster than building an igloo."
Yan Laoer couldn't help but said.
"Dad, you are too careless to observe. Didn't you realize that there are only a small number of people here? Most of them are building snow bags in the village!" Yan Yu rolled his eyes.
They take their Boy Scouts too seriously.
Her father didn't notice such a big project!
Snow houses are naturally faster and easier to make than igloos.
However, considering its durability and her idea of an ice cover, Yan Yu decided to experiment with the igloo.
In other words, the kids here all belong to the R&D group.
Yan Laoer turned off his microphone.
Go back to the igloo to do the questions.
Not long after, the children came back with the wooden box.
There are quite a few.
It's much easier to freeze ice in a wooden box. Just dig a hole in the river and pour water directly into it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! While scooping water, you can also catch fish, killing two birds with one stone. The children were very happy.
When it was almost noon, Master Lu came over.
"Boy, I've seen the snow bag you piled up. It's not too big. The weather is cold and the snow can hold up. But if the sun comes out, the top will collapse easily. It's best to find something to hold it up from the inside...
"
Master Lu made several suggestions based on his many years of experience in building houses.
Yan Yu couldn't help but nod, and the children gathered in a circle. You and I said something that was either childish or feasible.
Master Lu was too busy, so he left after saying a few words.
When the meal was approaching, everyone was hungry and began to rummage around the stove and pot they had brought. They fetched water from the hole in the ice and boiled it. Then they cleaned up the fish they caught, cut them into pieces of different sizes and threw them into the pot.
The water is boiling and the fish is cooked.
Add a little salt, and the salty smell wafts out. The children's stomachs growl one after another. You look at me and I look at you, laughing so hard.
Let’s not eat the fish for now. Let’s have some fish soup to warm our stomachs.
Add more water and throw in the dried vegetables.
When the dried vegetables slowly unfolded, the fish meat was already stewed and melted into the soup.
The children took out pancakes and skillfully rolled them with a small amount of fish.
Yan Yu neatly rolled one for her father.
Then it's your own.
The hot vegetables and hot soup have softened the dry and hard pancakes just now. Take a bite and follow it with a sip of fresh fish soup. Not to mention how delicious it is!
"Xiaoer! Yan Xiaoer! Is that you!" Someone shouted from the other side of the river.
Yan Yu sounded familiar and looked in that direction.
I saw a carriage parked on the other side of the river, with a little fat man standing on the carriage...
Who is the fat little guy from Magistrate Pang’s family?
"Xiao Pang...young master?"
"It's really you! Yan Xiaoer! Hahahaha! I found it!" The little fat man happily jumped off the carriage and trotted all the way.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a round dumpling rolling towards Yan Yu.
Since his identity was there, Yan Yu was embarrassed to stand still and wait, so he took the initiative to greet him.
"Young Master Pang, are you... specially looking for me?" Yan Yu asked.
They had the friendship of playing together in the Prince's Palace. Before the Chinese New Year, she gave New Year's gifts to the little sisters who played tug-of-war with her and the little fat man who always stood up and cheered her up.
Every family has a gift in return. It's hard for the little girls to go out, but the little fat guy doesn't get in the way. A few years ago, he even went out to play with Yan Yu.
The two chubby boys wandered around the streets together, went to the shop to pick out gifts for their family, went to restaurants to eat, and even went outside the city to set off firecrackers brought by Young Master Pang...
It was quite enjoyable to play.
"Didn't I say that you call me Xiao Pang and I call you Xiao Er? No matter how big or small we are, we are good brothers!" Pang Xiaopang corrected him seriously.
"It's my fault, why don't I apologize to you? Then, Xiao Pang, do you have something to do with me?" Yan Yu asked.
Pang Xiaopang stopped and took a breath, and said: "I went to your house to find you and said that you had returned to the village. I remember you said that your village is next to the big stone bridge, so I came out to try my luck. Haha, you really asked me.
Found it!"
"Is there anything I need to see you for? It's a big deal, a very important matter, otherwise I wouldn't want to come out in such a cold weather." The little fat man said seriously.
Although you can hear his tone of voice being solemn, it's really hard to be serious when you look at this chubby face.
Yan Yu's face was tight and she took good care of her brother's mood: "Xiao Pang, please speak!"
"Xiaoer, your father and your eldest brother are going to take the county examination, right?" the little fat man asked very reservedly.
As soon as he started, Yan Yu guessed what he was going to say.
Should I say it or not? This little fat guy can do it. If anything happens, he will come and notify me!
"Yes, in February."
The little fat man said mysteriously: "I heard that the exam time will be moved forward, and the results will be released in the next few days. The news is accurate. If you believe me, let your father and elder brother prepare quickly."
Yan Yu:……
She showed her consistent acting skills and showed an expression of three parts surprise, three parts touch, three parts excitement and one part hesitation.
"This... is true!!! We are good brothers. If you came out to tell me in the cold weather, Xiaopang, I believe you! This news is so useful! I don't even know how to thank you..."
The little fat man smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "We are good brothers, of course I have to take care of you!"
Yan Yu: "Have you eaten? Do you want to drink the soup made from the fresh fish just fished out of the river?"
It's okay if she doesn't introduce him. Once introduced, the little fat man has a picture in his mind.
The lively fish jumps into the pot with its tail swung, and makes itself a pot of milky-white soup...suck!
"I've been out for a while, and my stomach is a bit empty." The little fat man answered honestly.
"Then let's eat something together?"
"Alas!" Pang Xiaopang nodded heavily.
…
"Mom, you don't even know that Xiaoer's village is so fun!" Pang Xiaopang excitedly gestured with his two chubby hands: "There is a river next to their village. If you dig a hole in the ice, the fish will come up stupidly.
Blow the bubbles, then use a net to catch them, kill them and eat them now, it’s so fresh!
By the way, Mom, I have to have someone help me keep the fish I brought back. Don’t freeze to death. When dad comes back from the office, cook them fresh for him to eat. Really, they will make dad’s tongue taste fresh!”
"Okay! Okay!" Mrs. Pang agreed with a smile: "My son is filial, and I will also let your father taste this rare river delicacy in winter."
She covered her mouth and smiled: "Let's wait and see if your father's tongue can still be saved..."
"What can't be guaranteed?" Pang Pangren listened for a while, but couldn't hear clearly. He stepped in and asked aloud.
"The master is back!" Mrs. Pang stood up and helped him change and wash himself.
The girl next to her was giving Mrs. Pang a hand.
The little fat man winked and sent him away, and he brought the basin over.
"father."
The big man glanced at him, and the boy's face turned red.
He couldn't help but touch his forehead.
Hmm...it's okay, it's not hot.
Mrs. Pang guessed his thoughts and chuckled.
"He's not hot, he's happy. He's been bothering me for a long time today, insisting on going out to play with the Yan family's children. I couldn't resist him, so I agreed. No, I went to the small school where the Yan family is located.
In Ancun, everything looked fresh. People were cutting ice to catch fish in winter. He also caught up. He ate it himself and didn’t forget to bring a few fish back to the master. They were all alive after being trapped by water. I have already ordered the cooks to
The master will kill the fish as soon as he comes in, and after waiting for a while, we can also try the fish soup in Ah Fu's mouth that will be so fresh on the tongue."
Ah Fu is Pang Xiaopang’s nickname.
"Not only that! I haven't finished talking yet. Xiao Er and his village also built Boss's igloo and snow houses! Each one looks like a big snowdrift, but in fact it's empty inside and people can live in it."
He was afraid that his parents wouldn't believe it, so he hurriedly gave an example: "Dad, don't believe it, mom. It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. Xiao Er's father was in the igloo, endorsing the book. If there is light, it can shine through. If it's not dark, light the fire."
It’s not cold at all, and the waiter even put tables and benches inside for her father, as well as pens, ink, paper and inkstones..."
"Ice house? Is it all made of ice?" Mrs. Pang was surprised.
"Studying hard in an igloo? But a cantilever-like cone stabbing method?" Pang Pangren also became interested.
Pang Xiaopang was so happy to see his parents waiting for him to continue.
He continued: "The waiter and the others are still trying to build a bigger igloo, saying they want to cover the damaged house."
He racked his brains to recall the words of those children from Xiaoan Village.
"The children in that village said that if it works, they will not be afraid of the snow no matter how heavy it is. The snowflakes will fall on the igloo. The igloo is round. They can pull it with a broom and the snow will slide down the igloo..."
