Yang hugged Huo Nian, who rushed towards him, and felt infinite joy.
It's not like they haven't been separated in the past. Nian'er often lives with Huo Xi and Yang Fu in the city. Sometimes they haven't seen each other for several days, and they don't miss them as much as today.
It's like what scholars say: "One day is like three autumns."
Yang stroked him up and down, touched his little face, his head, and his belly: "Are you full after lunch? Are you hungry?"
Huo Nianhou was on Yang's body, looking up at her and shaking his head.
"I was full at lunch. The husband said not to waste it, but if you don't have enough, you can add more. Nian'er ate two big bowls and was full! I'm not stupid, my parents spent money to send it to me. I won't go hungry."
Yang laughed heartily after hearing this, "That's right, my parents spent a lot of money to send you there, and we paid a lot for lunch. You should eat and drink, how can you be hungry? What can you do if you are hungry all night? study."
Pi Xiaozi nodded: "That's right, I won't go hungry. I'll be full after eating! There are many people who are picky eaters, but I'm not picky."
"That's great. We Nian'er can't be picky eaters. Whatever we want to eat, our parents will buy it for us when we come out. We can't go hungry in there."
"Um."
Mrs. Yang touched him and looked at his adorable appearance. She wished she could hold him in her hands and feel pain all over her body. It was as if she couldn't get enough of him.
Huo Nian was held by her and looked around: "Where is my sister, and where is my father?"
"Your father is guarding the boat. Your sister and your uncle are in the shop. How about mother take Nian'er to find them?"
Huo Nian wanted to nod, but was worried that her sister would come looking for her, so she shook her head: "We'd better go back to the boat and wait for them. I miss my dad."
"Okay, mother will take you to the ferry to find your father."
When Huo Xi and Yang Fu came over, the school was closed. They bought some of the things that the little boy usually likes to eat and walked to the ferry.
As soon as I walked to the ferry, I saw Pi Xiaozi sitting on Huo Erhuai's back on the deck of his boat, eating something and feeding it into Huo Erhuai's mouth.
Seeing Huo Xi and Yang Fu coming back with a bunch of things, Yang was dumbfounded.
"When I picked him up, he said he was hungry, so I took him to eat something along the way and bought him some more. He didn't stop talking after we got on the boat. You guys bought so many more. You don't even need this dinner. have eaten."
Huo Nian happily came up to see what her sister and uncle had bought.
Yang's words echoed in his mouth: "Mom, I won't eat at night. I will take it to school tomorrow to eat. They all bring snacks and sweet drinks, so they have something to eat when they are hungry in the afternoon. I will also take it to school tomorrow and exchange with them." Let’s eat.”
Yang nodded after hearing this: "Okay, bring whatever you want to eat."
Then he said to Huo Xi and Yang Fu: "I was watching outside today. There were many children whose homes had sent them meals and snacks. When I saw the old man guarding the gate, I thought he was just sitting there all day long. Poor him, I didn't expect that he collected a lot of copper coins as a reward in one day."
Huo Xi smiled: "Mom, did you also give Nian'er some snacks?"
"No. It's only his first day in school. I was afraid it wouldn't work well and it would damage the teacher's impression of him, so I didn't send him away."
Huo Xi asked Pi Xiaozi: "Do all the classmates in the school give snacks to eat?"
"Some people gave it to me. Some people felt that the food in the book school was not delicious, so their families brought it to them, and they also gave me snacks in the afternoon. But I had a full meal in the book school, and there was tea in the book school, so I could do whatever I wanted. drink."
Huo Xi thought for a while: "Since the school provides food and drinks, we won't give them to you. You go in to study, not to enjoy."
Yang hesitated: "Since others can give it to me, let's give it to Nian'er. If we don't have time, let you, Grandpa Zou, and Grandma Zou do it."
Huo Xi glanced at the boy and saw that he was blinking at her, so she asked him: "Is the food in the school delicious? Can you eat enough?"
Huo Nian nodded: "It's delicious and can fill you up."
"Then I won't send it. Just bring some snacks from home in the morning. You can eat them when you are hungry. You don't want your mother to keep an eye on you outside. We can just pick you up after school. If the family is not free, let Zou A
Grandpa and grandma will pick you up."
Pi Xiaozi nodded: "Mom, you don't have to watch over Nian'er. Nian'er will be a good boy. There are teachers in the school who won't let us quarrel or fight."
Huo Xi was very happy to see that he was sensible. She asked him again: "Then do you like going to school?"
Huo Nian nodded: "I like it. In addition to reading and writing, there is a large space in the school for everyone to play together. I also made several friends! They even gave me snacks sent by their family.
"
Pi Xiaozi has been on the boat all his life and has few friends of the same age. There are two or three fishermen who are about the same age as him, but they are rare to see. Only at night when everyone stops at the ferry, they can hang out for a while, or talk to each other.
Talk and play with water.
This time in school, there are so many people of the same age to play with, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt.
As for Zhang Fu, when he returned to the house, he thought of the child he saw in the school. He came out of the school happily. He must be eager to learn. Then he thought of the two sons at home.
I strolled to the private school set up in the side courtyard. After looking outside for a while, I saw that my daughters were all there, as were several nieces and nephews, but my two sons were not there.
I called someone to ask, and they said that Master Xie was not feeling well today and had not gone to school, and that Master Mao was still young and had not entered school yet.
Hearing that Zhang Jie was not feeling well, Zhang Fu planned to go and see him.
Before he entered the courtyard gate, he heard Zhang Jie's voice shouting and yelling, very angry. Zhang Fu frowned.
When I looked into the courtyard, I fell back in anger.
I saw the boy riding on a servant like a horse, holding a whip and "driving" in his mouth, and kept urging the servant to run faster.
Zhang Fu was so angry that his scalp almost exploded: "Zhang Jie!" he shouted sternly.
Zhang Jie was so frightened that he almost fell off his servant.
In the hall of the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Zhang Jie stood in the middle, his head hanging down and sobbing softly.
Zhang Fu sat in the upper seat and scolded him with a straight face.
Mrs. Wu looked up frequently and saw her son crying, his face red, and her heart ached. When Zhang Fu stopped talking, she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Zhang Jie in her arms.
"Master Hou, Xie'er is still young. He was really uncomfortable this morning. He felt better this afternoon. He left the room to relax for a while. The servant also wanted to make him happy and gave him a ride. He has been worshiped since he was a child.
You, a father who mounts a horse to kill the enemy, is too young to ride a horse. Now... you see you frightened Jie'er."
Zhang Fu frowned: "I feel better this afternoon, so I should go to a private school to study, and yet I am hiding in the courtyard hanging out with my servants! What a shame!"
"Master Marquis, Xie'er is still less than six years old. What's the big deal if I'm delayed for a day and a half? Besides, he will be a nobleman in the future, and he doesn't need to take the imperial examination..."
Zhang Fu slammed his hand on the table.
"Ignorant woman. He is only a few years old and she talks to him all day long about attacking the prince! I am not only his son, but also have many nephews. There is no shortage of people who want to attack the prince. If I don't go to the private school tomorrow, I will stay blind in the courtyard.
Playing means not hitting your palms, but breaking your legs!"
Zhang Jie flinched for a while and did not dare to look at him. He just hid in Wu's arms.
Mrs. Wu curled her lips when she saw Zhang Fu was so angry that he was stroking his sleeves and leaving. You have many sons and nephews, so you are willing to let the title fall into their hands? You have more than one son, Jie'er, but that one is sick and a bastard.
There is a legitimate son, but his bones have turned to ashes now.
He whispered to soothe the frightened Zhang Jie: "Don't cry. I'm going to the private school tomorrow. Study hard, study hard, and show your father what you're capable of."
