When they got ashore, they said goodbye, and the old man took the child and left briskly.
Watching the old man walk away, Xu Dajun touched his head, turned and muttered to Xu Yinyin: "I don't look like a young genius when I look like this, right? This old man is probably a teacher at Honglu Academy. Could it be that he is introducing students to participate?"
Can he get a commission for the admission exam?"
Xu Yinyin:......
"Do you think this old gentleman is someone who would do this kind of thing?"
Xu Dajun thought for a while and said, "It's not like that. With such a magnanimous attitude, you can tell that you are a knowledgeable person. How can you make such small profits? Scholars cherish their own feathers the most."
"But why?" He couldn't figure it out.
Xu Yinyin glanced at him and said, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. It depends on whether you can pass the Tongsheng Examination next year. Let's talk about it. If you pass it, you will know when the time comes. If you don't, it's all in vain."
Xu Dajun listened and felt that it made sense, so he stopped thinking about it.
A few people carrying big seabass joined Old Man Xu and others and went into the first restaurant for dinner.
The sea bass I brought was not enough for so many of them, so I ordered two more, three portions of steamed sea bass, and some other specialties.
The dishes were served quickly, and the first dish was the steamed seabass.
Xu Yinyin couldn't wait to pick up the meat from the belly of the fish with her chopsticks, put it into her mouth, and served a delicious dish.
Well, it's so delicious, it's so delicious that it's almost as good as heaven.
Because the sea bass was so delicious, Xu Yinyin even changed her planned itinerary and went on a boat trip for three days, eating at several restaurants along the river.
The reputation of Mingyuejiang is far-reaching, and it cannot be overshadowed by the fact that every fish is steamed to be authentic and delicious, and the main thing is the original and delicious fish.
During this period, a small episode also occurred.
While taking a boat trip on the river, we met a girl on a large boat who fell into the water. By chance, she was very close to them.
In July, Xu Yinyin just jumped into the water to save a girl. Although it was later known that it was a bit disgusting to soak in the water with the corpse, but in the end, a life was saved. The girl, mother and daughter were very serious later.
He also came to the door specially to offer his help.
Nowadays, I am still a regular customer of their sanitary ware shop and pig's trotter rice shop.
Now someone else fell into the water in front of me, and it was another girl.
Xu Yinyin hesitated.
You can't save it, it's a human life, but you can save it. They are also from outside. Who knows what happened to this girl who fell into the water? They don't look like ordinary people on that big boat.
Don't be displeased by saving people, but offend them and make them remember you.
As Xu Yinyin hesitated with these few thoughts, the girl splashing in the water sank completely.
Not long after, a few men jumped out of the big boat and fished out the body.
When I heard about it later through Xu Dajun, Xu Yinyin was thankful that she was not saved.
Damn it, that boat was full of noble men who were just playing around with the world and didn't take the lives of ordinary people as their fate.
If she had been saved just now, she would be in big trouble today.
Xu Yinyin couldn't help but sigh, and whispered to Xu Dajun privately: "Look, either you are hard, or your thighs are thick. If you are hard, you must have thick thighs. Our thighs must be held tightly, for no other reason.
Just so that one day, when one of us is bullied, our lives are still precious."
And so that one day, when I want to save someone, I don’t have to worry about what’s behind me.
In the next two days, they went to Wangyue Tower to climb up and have a distant view, and also went to Changchun Garden, which is only open to the public once a month, and even went to the famous Jingyuanchun in the city to listen to an opera.
Naturally, I also visited several famous markets in Zhoucheng. I bought a lot of things and also bought gifts for my family members who were not here.
It's been almost half a month since I left this trip, and it's time to go back.
When we came here, apart from the people in the car, they only brought a change of clothes and other things. This time, it was amazing. There was a car specially set aside to carry things. If it wasn't enough, it was just a small white carriage. There were dark things in the corners of the car.
The cabinets and so on are all packed.
At dawn, they checked out of their rooms and set out. When they got to the city gate, they were at the front of the queue. When the city gate opened, they were among the first to leave the city.
When we arrived at Xiangzhou Pier, it was better to go to the food stall and eat breakfast first.
Xu Yinyin asked Du Bayi to take two meat buns and eat them while going to the dock to see if Boss Na Ding, who was on his boat when he came here, was there. If he was, let him know immediately. He had already made a reservation for today, otherwise the other party was not there.
When I saw them coming, I chartered the boat to someone else.
Looking at the people coming all the way to Xiangzhou Pier, there are quite a lot of people taking the boat today. It will be slow later, and I wonder if I can take the boat.
As soon as we had finished eating here, Du Bayi came running back, "Girl, look at Boss Ding! You are really prepared. Fortunately, I went there in time. Otherwise, Boss Ding didn't see us."
Go, I almost chartered the boat to someone else."
This trip was full of fun and enough, but what followed was exhaustion and an eagerness to go home. Mr. Xu and the others were eager to get home as soon as they got there, for fear that they would not be able to get on the boat today and would end up eating in a hurry.
After breakfast, we quickly took the car to the pier.
There were so many people today that the carriage was stuck in traffic for a long time before it squeezed forward and successfully approached Boss Ding's boat.
Hurry, people get on the boat first, then the carriage.
As soon as Xu Yinyin got off the carriage, Boss Ding came up with a few people and said, "Miss Xu."
He first called Xu Yinyin, and then greeted the people leading the boat: "This is Miss Xu who chartered the boat. You'd better talk to her. I can't settle it."
Xu Yinyin was just curious when Mrs. Xu who came up behind her saw Cheng Hong opposite and exclaimed, "Isn't this the young man who bumped into us that day?"
Listening to this sentence, Cheng's father was curious that his son had bumped into each other? Why did he bump into him? Is this still possible?
He looked at Xu Yinyin and said: "Miss Xu, my surname is Cheng. This time I am going back to my hometown of Jiangyang County with my family. There are too many people taking the boat today. We have a lot of luggage and a carriage, so we can't take it."
There are no more passenger ships or ships that can be chartered.
I heard from Boss Ding that you are also going to Jiangkou Town, and our family is also on the way. I wonder if it would be convenient for our family to take a boat and go with you? Don’t worry, we will pay for the boat fare, and we won’t give it to you either.
Cause trouble."
Only then did Xu Yinyin realize that it was this family that had almost chartered the boat mentioned earlier to someone else.
She first tilted her head and asked in a low voice what Mrs. Xu said about the collision. After listening to what Mrs. Xu said about what happened that day, she realized that the Cheng family was only a family of four, and there were not many people.
It's just one more car, so it's not a big problem.
After thinking about it, I agreed.
Since they are from Jiangyang County, they are also fellow villagers. There is no harm in raising a hand to do a favor as a favor.
When they got on the ship, there were only six rooms. Now there were four more members of the Cheng family. Xu Yinyin asked Du Bayi and Huang Daping to go downstairs to squeeze in with the people on the ship, and then asked Wuya and Xixin to come to their room.
Sleeping, freeing up two rooms for the Cheng family of four.
Cheng's father was very grateful. Before he got off the ship, he took the initiative to pay Xu Yinyin thirty taels of silver for the ship's fare.
Boss Ding still charged them sixty-five taels for the return trip, as had been agreed a long time ago. This was equivalent to almost half of the money paid by only four members of the Cheng family.
Xu Yinyin thought that if she wanted to accept a favor, she couldn't be so unkind, so she only accepted twenty taels.
The boat started to set off and left the pier. The high-altitude sun shone on the vast river, and the sound of the boat rowing across the river was accompanied by the river breeze, sending the homesick people home.
