Rise of the Poor

Chapter 47: Rest and Relaxation

Views:

While walking to the school, Zhu Pingan was thinking about the unscientific nature of the purple qi rising to the sky from the black-bellied little Lolita, and he was also thinking about one thing. This was the third time he had seen the luck, which was enough to prove that it was not an illusion. Was there anything in common between these three times? He couldn't be so passive, as this ability was useless.

The first time was when I was having dinner at home, the second time was when I was offering sacrifices to my ancestors, and the third time was when I wanted to teach the little Loli a lesson. There was nothing in common between the three times. And there was no pattern at all in the three days. Zhu Pingan shook his head and sighed. No, there was something in common. Zhu Pingan suddenly paused. Every time I saw the luck, it seemed to be related to my psychological activities.

"It seems that I have to work hard. Let's not talk about bringing honor to my family, but at least make life better for my family."

"Instead of worshipping our ancestors in such a tedious way, it is better to work hard to bring honor to our family."

"What's wrong with being a cowherd? Why can't a cowherd bring honor to the family..."

Could it be that if I want to "bring honor to my ancestors", I can see my luck if I have this thought in my mind? But why can't I see it now when I want to bring honor to my ancestors? Maybe it will take some time before it works

Forget it, let’s try again in two days. There’s no rush anyway.

Zhu Ping'an shook his head, threw away these thoughts, and walked quickly to the classroom.

The lectures in private schools are very casual and very different from modern teaching. The biggest difference is that private schools can truly teach students in accordance with their aptitude and individuality. There are more than 20 students in the private school, and Master Sun can let them read different books according to the different levels of mastery of each person. For example, after Master Sun found the textbook Three Character Classic copied by Zhu Ping'an, he felt that Zhu Ping'an's mastery was far superior to other children, so he began to give Zhu Ping'an additional teaching of "The Analects". For other children, Master Sun also consciously asked some children to recite 20 or 30 more sentences according to their actual conditions.

Although he had some verbal conflicts with the scheming little Lolita just now, Zhu Ping'an still went outside the bamboo forest during the break to tell the scheming little Lolita and her maidservant The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and took the old ox to drink some river water and eat some aquatic plants.

The scheming little Lolita had prepared delicious food early in the morning and had been waiting for Zhu Ping'an for a long time. She had bought quite a lot, and it seemed that he ate a lot more today than usual.

The chubby-haired little maidservant opposite, Hua'er, covered her mouth and shrugged her shoulders, obviously laughing.

Zhu Pingan continued to tell the story from yesterday, and the two little girls listened attentively, sometimes frowning and getting nervous, and sometimes clapping their hands and getting happy. When it came to the part where Ouyang Ke and Ouyang Feng went to Peach Blossom Island to ask Huang Yaoshi for marriage and compete with Guo Jing for Huang Rong, the two girls became indignant.

"Ouyang Ke is so shameless..."

"That's right, Ouyang Feng is not a good person either, he is just a stinky toad..."

As Zhu Ping'an continued to explain the three test questions to determine Huang Rong's fate, the two girls became more nervous.

"How could Guo Jing be so stupid? How could he admit defeat in the second round? Fortunately, he was stopped."

"But he can't play the flute either..."

"Hey, where are you from? I'll just sell you to Hua Mama."

"Miss... ... "

The two little girls chattered away, and clenched their fists nervously under the influence of the plot.

Zhu Pingan managed his time well, and stopped the story when Guo Jing knelt down and called him father-in-law. He didn't continue. He couldn't finish the story even if he continued for three days and three nights. He estimated that the class would be about to start. He had finished the food in the lunch box, and his stomach was full.

"Let's stop here for today. The school will be closed for two days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so we can't talk about The Legend of the Condor Heroes anymore." Zhu Ping'an stood up and spoke after eating the food box.

The teacher mentioned the rest day in the morning. Rest day was a rest system in ancient times. In ancient times, people worked for ten days and rested for two days. This was the working system of court officials. Similar systems were also implemented in private schools and other ancient official institutions. The teacher mentioned the arrangement of rest days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow in the morning. There were no classes in the private school, so Zhu Ping'an naturally couldn't attend the classes.

The black-bellied little girl looked unwilling, her face was long and she frowned, "What are you doing? I'm in the middle of talking. You don't need to take a day off. It's a good opportunity to herd cattle and talk all day."

The little maid's chubby face was squeezed into a chubby shape. She looked at Zhu Ping'an pitifully and nodded desperately to agree with the young lady's words.

"I have something else to do." Zhu Ping'an evaded.

"What can happen to you?" The sinister little loli Li Shu pouted.

I still have to find a way to generate income for my family. Dad and my eldest brother have been to the mountains these two days. Calculating the time, they should go to the mountains once during the two days of rest. Last time I found honeysuckle in the mountains and sold it for a lot of money. Although my brother Dachuan also went to pick honeysuckle and dry it these days, the honeysuckle blooms for only a few days, so I have to find new good things.

"Rest, sleep, play..." Zhu Ping'an counted on his fingers.

The scheming little girl looked at Zhu Ping'an with a frown and said contemptuously, "You are a pig."

No matter what you say, Zhu Ping'an led the old ox up the hill again, tied it up, walked through the bamboo forest, and returned to the school again. The time was just right, and the teacher was walking in from outside.

At the beginning of this class, the teacher tested the children's ability to master what they learned yesterday. Zhu Pingan naturally had no problem and was praised by the teacher. As for Zhu Pingjun, he was not so good and was hit by the teacher's ruler three times, which made him grit his teeth in pain. To Zhu Pingan's surprise, Wei Chen, the arrogant boy who had troubled him yesterday, also mastered it well and was also praised by the teacher. It seems that this guy is not completely a useless person.

After that, it was just like usual, teaching and practicing calligraphy. When Zhu Ping'an practiced calligraphy, he still used his black wooden board to write with water, which could save ink and paper.

When school was over, Mr. Sun officially announced the two-day holiday. The naughty kids in the classroom screamed with excitement, as if they could blow the roof off. It was just like the weekends of modern kids.

"What are we going to do on our day off? Let's go fishing together?" The fat boy Li Xiaobao came over and asked.

Zhu Pingjun next to him nodded and said yes, while Zhu Pingan said he would wait and see. The fat boy didn't care, and he and Zhu Pingjun chatted excitedly about where to dig earthworms and what kind of fishing rod to use. Both of them were very excited. The other children in the school were also discussing where to go to play in groups of three or five.
