Chapter 523 Dean Zhou has a presumptuous request
Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng entered the courtyard and found themselves unable to walk.
There is no other reason. The yard is full of flowers, so beautiful that people can’t take their eyes away, and nails grow under their feet...
Out of the city, there is Broken Gold Beach almost not far away, and everyone in the Li family is not in a hurry to go back.
Li Laoer simply introduced the flowers and plants in the yard to these two, which aroused the children's curiosity and followed them to listen to the fun.
Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng even wanted to move the entire garden back to the academy!
Finally, after looking around for a while, Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng reluctantly entered the room to drink tea.
Seeing that their eyes were still staring at the door, Li Laoer was really proud and funny, so he said: "In seven or eight days, Baiyuan Garden will open its doors to welcome guests. At that time, the dean and Mr. are willing to come over to enjoy the flowers. They are welcome at any time. .
“There is also a greenhouse to be built in the east garden. In winter, it would be nice to invite the dean and my husband to bask in the sun, enjoy flowers and drink tea together in the greenhouse. That would be comfortable.”
Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng nodded repeatedly and smiled happily. Finally, when they saw the Jiaren brothers around, they remembered the business.
Dean Zhou didn't beat around the bush and asked straight to the point: "Uncle, I heard that our family has a fleet going to Quanzhou, and Jia'an and Jiaxi are also going on a study tour with the ship?"
Li Laoer nodded. The family didn't want to hide this matter, and they couldn't.
Because Jia'an and Jiaxi are away for two or three months, the academy has to ask for leave, and the reason for the leave must be made clear, otherwise the academy cannot let students go out at will.
I just don’t know what the dean has in mind when he asks this...
“What the dean said is that my eldest brother’s restaurant specializes in seafood, and my family always has to travel between Xindu and Quanzhou, so it is convenient to have a fleet of three or five small boats.
"Both boys Jia'an and Jiaxi are not of a quiet temperament. They are afraid that they will not have much future if they study alone, so they want to go out on the boat to gain their knowledge, in case they can find a profession that they like and can make a living for themselves. That’s the best!”
These words were true, and Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng both nodded.
Many people send their children to academies as if they have nothing to worry about. They wish that the child they send in is a young boy who will be a scholar after leaving the academy!
In fact, learning is not that easy. There is still a big difference between students and students.
For some people with high talents, the scientific examination is easy, as long as they are willing to put in 70% effort.
But he is a little inexperienced and playful, so he is really not the type to concentrate on studying. After four or five years in the academy, it would be good if he could barely pass the examination as a boy student.
The Li family is such a rare understanding person!
Don’t just rely on academies. You also understand children’s habits and know how to pave the way for them in advance.
Dean Zhou sighed inwardly, but he opened his mouth with a request, "To be honest, uncle, there are some students in our academy who have been studying for three to five years. Their knowledge is good, but their knowledge is very limited. I have always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to take them out for a walk. , but considering safety, it cannot be done.
“A few days ago, I received a letter from a good friend who is a teacher at Hanhai Academy in Quanzhou, inviting students from our academy to visit, exchange ideas, and enhance knowledge.
“By coincidence, I heard that your fleet is going to Quanzhou. I wonder if you can carry the gentlemen and students from our academy? Of course, our academy will bear all their food and accommodation expenses.”
Li Laoer had some vague guesses in his heart, and after hearing this, he felt a little embarrassed.
At first, the fleet does not belong to him, but to his elder brother, and he cannot make the decision.
Secondly, Jin Gui, a student of the academy, said that although the academy would send a gentleman to follow him, if there was a bump in the road, the Li family would be more or less responsible.
But Principal Zhou showed his face and made a request. If he refused, it would also hurt each other's face. In the future, several children in the family would still be studying in the academy, which would be somewhat embarrassing. He thought quickly in his mind and said, "Dean, it stands to reason that when college students want to study abroad, our family should try our best to support them. But this time I am afraid that the dean will be disappointed!"
The dean also knows that the main task of our family's small fleet is to transport fishing goods, and there is a deadline for the return trip. We are about to set off this time, and I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until the students have made arrangements.
Moreover, such fishing boats generally have a large bottom and only one or two cabins above. The smell is very fishy, and the boatmen are used to it. Our Li family also comes from a poor background, and our children are thick-skinned, so we are not afraid of anything, but students and gentlemen may not be able to bear it. ah. "
Dean Zhou was a little disappointed, but he also knew that what Li Laoer said made sense.
He received the letter suddenly, he was happy for the moment and did not think carefully.
I just thought I could get on the boat and leave, but in fact, food, accommodation and safety issues on the way really need to be carefully arranged.
"That's it, forget it. I'll think of another way!" Dean Zhou frowned, obviously not wanting to give up this opportunity, and the Li family couldn't help.
Li Laoer said with a smile, "The dean has not been walking on water for a long time, so he doesn't understand the difficulties involved, so it's understandable."
Dean Zhou nodded, cupped his hands and said thanks, "Okay, thank you uncle for reminding me, I'm really annoying today."
After sitting for a while, Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng stood up and left. After all, the Li family had to go back to Suijintan.
There are two talented people in the family, so we should celebrate it no matter what.
Li Laoer invited them to a banquet. Dean Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. When the two children pass the examination, it won't be too late to have a wedding banquet together!"
Everyone laughed and sent the two of them to the door.
Until the carriage from the academy had gone far away, the young and old of the Li family hurriedly got on the carriage and drove home.
Sure enough, not far out of the city, they met Liu Biaotou, who came out to meet them.
Liu Biaotou laughed and said, "You are back, everyone is waiting anxiously. The village has already started preparing for the banquet, including Mr. Wen, Mrs. Wen, and the five members of the Liu family.
“Li Zheng from Dahuaishu Village and Da and Xiaowangzhuang brought hundreds of people from the village with him. The village was so crowded!
“The village chief made the decision and killed two big fat pigs. Every family is scrambling to share the money and serve wine to celebrate the two talented men..."
The young and old of the Li family were even more happy after hearing this, and hurried to the village.
As soon as the carriage entered the village, it was surrounded by villagers. When Jiaren and Brother Li got off the carriage, the villagers cheered.
Even some young men lifted Jiaren and Brother Li and took them directly to the Li family yard.
Jiaren and Brother Li's faces turned red. They were worried that they would fall, so they had to bow their hands to the villagers.
The villagers were so excited about such a young scholar!
Still got two out of the exam at one time. Counting the whole Tianwu, I am afraid there are not many such double happiness!
The village chief and Uncle Zhao were chatting in the house with Mrs. Liu, Liu Zhiheng, Mr. Wen and others. When they heard the excitement outside, they all started laughing when they walked to the door.
Liu Zhiheng was filled with envy. He patted his two sons on the head and said, "Did you see that they all study hard for me? You can also strive for success like Jiaren and Brother Li."
As a result, before he could finish speaking, he was slapped by Mrs. Liu, "You have a stupid head and can't study well. Now you will blame the child!"
