Huo Nianzheng was playing games with his little girl in the yard. When he saw her, he turned around and ran into the house, slamming the door.
Yang and Huo Erhuai met at the side, shaking their heads and sighing. The couple stayed with Huo Nian for a long time before coaxing him to get better. Looking at it, they obviously felt aggrieved and did not want to talk to their sister.
Huo Xi watched his little body running into the house and closing the door, and was stunned.
Seeing Mrs. Yang getting up and walking towards her, she said, "Mom, go and see Nian'er. I'll discuss something with my uncle."
Yang and Huo Erhuai wanted to say a few words to her, but seeing that she didn't want to say anything, they had no choice but to go into the room to coax Huo Nian.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu discussed what they wanted to exchange with Wu Youcai for most of the night.
Huo Nian waited in the house all night, but his sister didn't even come to coax him.
The next day, when his parents took him to the private school, his sister didn't come to see him off. He turned around and glanced at his sister's room. He saw that the door was closed, and he looked a little lonely. He lowered his head and walked to the private school with his parents.
.
Walking on the road, I saw a carriage parked at the door of a house. A good-looking aunt came out holding someone else's hand. When she got on the carriage, a man was kneeling on the ground, and the aunt actually stepped on his back.
carriage.
Huo Nian was stunned.
I turned around and glanced several times.
When we arrived at the door of the school, many classmates had a day off and had returned to class today. From a distance, I saw many classmates coming in carriages and stopping at the door.
Huo Nian saw the little fat man Gu Yu being carried out of the carriage, and his servants were almost kneeling on the ground to tidy up his clothes. Huo Nian took notice again.
"You have to be good in the school and listen to your teacher, you know? You have to remember your sister's words and don't conflict with others. Do you remember that?"
Huo Nian nodded towards Yang and Huo Erhuai, and was pulled into the book school by Gu Yu who rushed towards him.
Yang watched his little figure walk into the school, feeling a little distressed: "This child is only over five years old. I don't know if he remembers what we told him."
"Don't worry, Nian'er is a smart child. There is no particularly high-status child in his school, and there is a teacher watching over him." Huo Erhuai comforted her.
Huo Nian was still digesting the two scenes he saw this morning, and was a little distracted while crouching on horseback.
I was slapped twice on the palm by Mr. Wu.
During the break, two friends, Fang Qi and Gu Yu, gathered around him and held his hand to see: "Does it hurt?"
Huo Nian nodded reluctantly: "It hurts a little."
Fang Qi grabbed his hand and blew on it: "You were distracted today. What's wrong with you? Can't you rest well?"
"Were you too tired from hiking yesterday?" The little fat man also asked him. Huo Nian usually takes martial arts classes seriously and never loses focus.
"By the way, did you all go to Meihua Mountain yesterday? Did you see them and climb the mountain together?" Gu Yu couldn't persuade his grandparents to go to Meihua Mountain, and he felt a little regretful.
Fang Qi shook his head: "No, I didn't even find Huo Nian. I even left a place for him when we were eating fast at the top of the mountain. I also asked my servants to look for him, but I didn't see him."
Turning around, he asked Huo Nian: "Did you go to Meihua Mountain yesterday?"
Huo Nian nodded, feeling listless and without the energy of the past.
Two good friends were very worried: "Are you tired from hiking? Didn't you sleep well?"
Huo Nian looked at Gu Yu: "Why do your servants kneel down to tidy up your clothes?"
Gu Yu tilted his head: "Did he kneel down? Just kneel down."
Huo Nian blinked at him, and Gu Yu and Fang Qi also blinked and looked back at him.
"I saw a man stepping on someone else's back to get into the carriage." Huo Nian said again.
"I have a horse stool at home." Fang Qi said.
"I have a servant who hugs me." Gu Yu said.
He added: "My cousin sometimes steps on people's backs and rides carriages. He is too big now and can't be hugged by others. Hehe." I feel that I am still small and can still be hugged, which makes me happy.
"Why do you step on other people's backs?" Huo Nian looked at them.
"Can't you step on it?" Gu Yu also looked at Huo Nian. Fang Qi looked at Gu Yu and then at Huo Nian.
Huo Nian's little face wrinkled, not thinking about it, and asked Gu Yu: "Are your family members officials?"
Gu Yu nodded and shook his head: "My great-grandfather used to be an official. I heard he was a very big official, but he is no longer an official."
Huo Nian looked at Fang Qi again, and Fang Qi shook his head: "No one in my family is an official, but my mother said that when my father passes the Jinshi examination, he can become an official. My father is now a candidate!" The little face was a little proud.
Huo Nian lowered his head again.
I was listless all day. After school, I carefully observed the pedestrians on the road and found that the masters and servants of many families were different from their own.
After dinner, I sat in the courtyard for a long time, looking at the courtyard door frequently. I didn't wait for my sister to come back. I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, so I was carried into the room by Mrs. Yang and fell asleep.
"Nian'er has been waiting for you for a long time and refused to sleep with his eyes open."
Yang said to Huo Xi, who came home late, and added: "He is still young, so you should tell him slowly. There are some things that he will naturally understand when he grows up."
"I understand. Mom, go to bed. You are still pregnant. Don't stay up late. Let's go back to Zhuangzi with dad tomorrow."
"Mom, I will stay with you for a few more days."
"Mom, please go back to Zhuangzi to raise the baby. There are a lot of things going on there. Go back and help keep an eye on it with dad. The autumn harvest will be here in a few days, so you can keep an eye on them planting winter wheat. Dad also has to go to the countryside to collect rent.
Our other three hectares of land will also be planted with winter wheat this year. Let's put down the money for wheat planting first. I told my father. I think he will be very busy next time. I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of things in the village. Mom will just go back and keep an eye on it.
Put some on."
Yang was worried about Nian'er and wanted to help her keep an eye on Zhuangzi. She glanced at her belly and felt that the child had arrived at a bad time.
Huo Xi followed her gaze and looked at her belly, comforting: "Mom, don't worry about Nian'er, uncle and I are here."
Huo Xi pushed her back to her room.
"I heard from Shopkeeper Shen that in that village in Tangquan Town, chrysanthemums were sold for more than 200 taels of silver during the Double Ninth Festival. It seems that raising flowers is also an income. There are few servants there, and I don't know if Zhao Zhutou has found a suitable servant.
If mom is in good health, my father and I can help keep an eye on her. I'm afraid my uncle and I won't be able to take care of that at this time."
As soon as he heard Huo Xi talking about business, Yang nodded in agreement: "Put it down, my parents don't know anything else. They still know a little about things in the fields. My mother is in good health. My parents are responsible for the affairs of Zhuangzi. You
You and your uncle can just go about your business."
"Okay." Watching Yang go to sleep, Huo Xi helped her blow out the lamp, then closed the door and came out.
When I walked to Huo Nian's house, I put my hand on the door and wanted to open the door and go in, but stopped again and turned around and went back to the house.
Huo Nian couldn't wait for his sister to coax him for several days, and his mood became more and more depressed.
Today he jumped into a pit, which was only knee high. He jumped up, but failed to stand firm on the edge of the pit. He fell backward and fell back again.
Zhang Fu came over, stretched out his hand to pull him out, and took him to a corner of the school field.
"Are you angry with uncle?"
Huo Nian shook his head.
"I heard that you have been absent-minded these past few days, but was it because of what happened on the mountain that day?"
Huo Nian looked up at him: "Uncle, are you a very big official?"
