In the Gu family residence in the county town, Gu Wenxuan got up very early before dawn. He held a lamp in the dark, wiped his face as usual, and then went to the courtyard to practice morning exercises.
The sky became gray and bright.
Zhou Yujiang, Zhou Changping, Gu Wenyu, who rushed back from Jingshan Academy and arrived at the county town at noon yesterday, and Zhou Yuli, who returned from vacation early.
The four of them were either jogging in the morning or carrying books. At this time, they arrived one after another at the courtyard where Gu Wenxuan and his wife lived.
There is no doubt that the first one to arrive must be Dajiang. As soon as Gu Wenxuan closed his fist and slowly exhaled, he saw his brother-in-law walking slowly towards him.
"How many laps?"
Ojiang raised two fingers.
Good boy, now I can run two laps in the morning without being out of breath! Gu Wenxuan gave a thumbs up and quickly asked Da Jiang to take a hot bath first.
Because Zhou Banxia was not here, the courtyard where Dajiang originally lived was given to Zhou Changping, his son, and Gu Wenyu to move in. Dajiang lived here directly.
Since Gu Wenxuan only needs to wash up after practicing morning exercises at home every day, there is no shortage of hot water, and even Dajiang's medicinal bath has been prepared this morning.
As Gu Wenxuan said here, he also wanted to go back to his room and take a hot bath to relax and recharge his batteries to prepare for the first test of today's annual exam. Gu Wenyu was about to arrive.
He saw the pair of uncles and uncles sweating profusely, which made him happy. When they couldn't exercise in the morning, they had to do it early in the morning on the first day of the annual exam.
The annual exams will start soon.
Students don't pay much attention to the annual examination. Even if they are already junior students, whether they can enjoy the exemptions and exemptions for junior students next year depends on the results of this annual examination.
He didn't dare to underestimate Gu Wenxuan, his cousin, but Dajiang looked confident. It seemed that he had made great progress while not in county school.
Gu Wenyu waved to Zhou Yujiang and told him to just go to the east wing to take a medicinal bath. Then he and Gu Wenxuan went to the upper room. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help it anymore.
Although we often exchange letters, it is always inconvenient. At this time, he couldn't help but asked quietly - where did Dajiang rank in the last month's exam?
Gu Wenxuan made a gesture.
fifth?
Gu Wenyu was surprised, "Is it the monthly exam at the beginning of November?"
"No." Gu Wenxuan knew what he meant and simply added a few words, "The test was taken not long ago, in the few days at the end of November, which is almost equivalent to the monthly test in early December.
At that time, except for the six of you who had not had time to come back, all the students enrolled in our county school here participated in this three-day test. ”
Awesome!
Among the six people including him, there are only two junior students. It is expected that these two junior students can be ranked in the top five, and Ojiang is at least ranked in the top ten.
I just don’t know whether the last question was difficult or not. When I arrived yesterday, I shouldn’t have taken them to the county school in the afternoon. It was better to discuss it privately together first.
Just as Gu Wenyu was wondering if the questions were the same ones asked by the county students as in the past, he heard the laughter of Zhou Changping and Li Geer.
These two men are here.
It’s inappropriate to say anything more.
This morning we had breakfast in the main hall of the courtyard here. Everyone is so familiar with it.
When he heard that Gu Wenxuan wanted to go into the house to wash up and change his clothes, and invited his father and son and Gu Wenyu to sit in the hall, Zhou Changping was not polite to him.
After climbing the steps and entering the main hall, he quickly asked Gu Wenxuan to go into the house without delay and do some work. At the same time, Zhi Ming also brought his mother-in-law to bring breakfast meals, which were placed on the table one by one. The table was full of dry food and soup, which was very rich.
Hearing Gu Wenxuan in the back room yelling not to wait for him and Dajiang, let them eat first, and he and Dajiang wanted to take their time before eating, the three of them looked at each other.
Although it was still more than half an hour before the exam started this morning, and the county school was very close, it would be better to arrive early. Zhou Changping picked up the chopsticks without hesitation.
Mainly including himself, the three people here were the elder one. If he didn't pick up the chopsticks first and move them, Gu Wenyu wouldn't be able to pick up the chopsticks and start eating.
No, he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a small and exquisite flower scroll. Even Li Geer, who did not have to leave the school today to take the annual exam, also picked up the bowl with both hands.
"It's delicious, and the taste is still the same. Dad, isn't the original Aunt Fang (the cook) here, so why does the porridge still taste the same?"
As an idler today who did not need to take the annual exam, Zhou Yuli took a sip of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. He calmly put down the blue and white porcelain bowl in his hand and asked.
That’s a great question.
Don't tell me, Zhou Changping really knew. Just like this set of blue and white porcelain tableware, his niece Sanya purchased it through Zhao Sanye Trading Company.
According to his wife, "The cook here is the assistant cook under the original cook, almost the apprentice she brought out by herself."
As for the technology now?
It is said that he is quite good at making pasta, snacks, soup and porridge, but the dishes are bland, so he is temporarily transferred to the kitchen here.
Just because the three of them had stayed in this house like yesterday, Rokuro and Ojiang only lived and ate at the county school on weekdays, and rarely came here to eat.
On the other hand, I was worried that Rokuro and Oe would not be able to eat well, such as pasta, snacks, soups and porridge, so there would be bookboys in the house here who would often send some to the county school.
Furthermore, if Xiu Mu could not return to the village, or if he entertained them like last night, no matter how mediocre the dishes were, there would still be Yun Ke coming to deliver food boxes.
In terms of diet, Sanya is very particular about it. It doesn't have to be delicacies from the mountains and seas, but eating well is the inevitable first priority.
And the effect is very significant.
Regardless of others, Dajiang's original small body alone has played a big role in this year. In addition to morning exercises, morning jogs, and occasional medicinal baths, diet has also played a big role.
My complexion has improved, my stature has improved, and I am getting stronger day by day. It is said that since the beginning of spring this year, I have not had any heat stroke or cold cough.
The bones in the body, which have been weak since childhood, should be almost healed, just like the eldest brother (Zhou Changshun)'s old cold legs, which are no longer stiff, red or swollen since the beginning of winter.
It still hurts a little, but it’s not that painful anymore without being exposed to the cold or carrying heavy objects. At least since the beginning of winter this year, my eldest brother can walk much faster.
Even Dr. Dong said that it would be impossible for Lao Han Leg to be completely cured of the disease, but after Sanya spent a lot of money to recuperate her internally and externally, the eldest brother was blessed.
Gu Wenxuan was not slow. He finished washing up faster than his brother-in-law who took a medicinal bath. He changed into a county school "uniform" and came out of the inner room and returned to the hall.
At this time, Zhou Yuli hadn't even finished a bowl of porridge, let alone Zhou Pingan, who was chatting with his son and chewing slowly while waiting for Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Yujiang to come out.
Even Gu Wenyu thought he was not slow to eat, and wanted to finish eating early so that he could look through the "notes" made by Gu Wenxuan again. As Gu Wenxuan appeared, Zhou Yujiang also came in.
"You all lit more incense. Is it time to count?" (End of Chapter)
