Chapter 375 Selecting Lanterns
Xiaolong always gets angry for no reason.
Maner could see that Xiaolong was angry again this time.
She didn't know why Xiaolong was angry. Could it be that he was angry because he didn't pick the lantern first?
Maner decided to talk him down after returning home.
But he is quite pitiful as he has no parents. Thinking of this, Maner stepped forward and took out a golden dragon lantern and handed it to Xiaolong.
"This one is for you. Look, there are patterns on the golden dragon." Maner said.
Xiaolong snorted and took the lantern.
There are three lanterns left, one is a peony, one is a magpie, and the other is a tiger.
Maner took the peony and Yaozu took the tiger.
Originally, Yaozu felt that if he was not allowed to choose first, the good ones would be taken away by others.
Fortunately, no one picked the tiger he liked.
"There is one left for Huaer." Master Su handed the magpie lantern to Tong Pandi.
Tong Pandi said in surprise: "Hua'er is only two months old and can't even carry a lantern yet."
Master Su said, "Then wait until she is able to choose."
Tong Pandi took the lantern and was touched by Master Su's attentiveness.
Several children got lanterns and gathered together to admire each other's lanterns.
Every child is very happy.
Especially for Duoer and Chunni, this was the first time they received lanterns.
In the past, Chunni envied the children who carried lanterns on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month. Her grandmother Luo would buy lanterns for Chunwang every year, and she could only watch helplessly.
Thinking of Chunwang, Chunni thought she had to hide the lantern in the pigsty. If she took it home, the lantern would no longer be hers.
Master Su was very pleased to see the children's happy smiling faces, especially Duo'er's smiling face.
If Duoer is happy, Tong Pandi will be happy.
Master Su didn't come to look for Gu Jingzhe at all. When he saw the beautiful lanterns in the town, he thought of Tong Pandi's two lovely children, so he couldn't help but buy two and held them in his hands.
He thought it would not be nice to give the lanterns only to Tong Pandi's two daughters, as it would seem like he had some ulterior motive, so he simply bought one for every child he knew, and then headed straight for Qinghe Bay.
Tong Pandi laughed happily, and Master Su's mood unconsciously brightened.
Next he has something to give to Duoer and Chunni.
Master Su opened the wooden box, took out the tracing book and the brush and said, "This is for Duo'er. I see Duo'er is learning to read with Man'er, and this tracing book "Youxue Qionglin" is suitable for Duo'er to learn to read. I specially selected this brush, which is suitable for children who are just beginning to learn."
Tong Pandi was so surprised that he almost cried.
On New Year's Eve, Master Su saw Duo'er following Man'er in writing Chinese characters and he actually remembered it in his heart.
I specially bought Duoer a tracing book and a brush suitable for her early childhood education.
After Tong Pandi received it, he kept pulling Duoer to thank Master Su.
"This set is for Chunni." Master Su's words made Chunni's envious eyes turn into shock.
Cao was also shocked that there was Chunni's.
Mr. Su was deeply impressed by Chunni.
The last time he came to Qinghewan, he saw this little girl writing on the ground with stones by the river. Although her handwriting was not good, it was obvious that she put a lot of effort into it.
Master Su asked her who she learned calligraphy from, and Chunni said she learned it when she passed by the private school.
As a teacher who teaches, educates and answers questions, Master Su likes students who work hard and strive to improve themselves the most.
Whether male or female.
Therefore, this time he gave Duoer a tracing book and writing brushes and ink, and also brought a set for Chunni.
Chunni took the tracing book and the pen and ink, and her throat choked.
I can't even say thank you.
Cao said thank you and her eyes turned red.
She thought it would be great if Chunni was a boy. Chunni was so smart that she could learn a word that Chunwang didn't know just by listening to it once when she passed by the private school.
If he was a boy, he could study in a private school and become a child prodigy praised by everyone like Gu Jingzhe.
"Master Su, it's almost noon and you haven't gone to your aunt's house yet. Let's go together." Tong Pandi said happily.
Master Su helped her feed the pigs and brought Duoer a lantern and a tracing book, which gave Tong Pandi, whose mood was ruined by Tong Zhaodi, hope for life again.
Master Su was naturally willing to go to Tong Huaqiong's house for dinner with Tong Pandyi. He held Hua'er in his left hand and Man'er in his right hand. Man'er held Xiaolong in her hand, and they followed Tong Pandyi to Gu's house like a chain.
Gu Jingzhe had just finished reading a book and looked out into the distance. He saw Master Su and thought that the master had come to urge him to do his homework.
"Master, why are you here? I've been reviewing and just came out of the house to relax."
Gu Jingzhe was worried that the teacher would say that he was not working hard, so he first defended himself.
Master Su said with a straight face, "You stood at the door as soon as I arrived. If I hadn't come, I don't know what you would have been doing. Before the private school starts, I will come to supervise you every day."
Gu Jingzhe: “…”
Tong Pandi smiled and said to Gu Jingzhe, "Cousin, Master Su's jacket is too thin. Please find a thicker coat for Master Su."
Gu Jingzhe agreed and went.
There was a sound of "huhe huhe" coming from the yard. It turned out that Nie Xiaofeng was practicing martial arts with Su Chengmin.
Nie Xiaofeng had learned a few moves of Kung Fu from Su Chengmin since he came to Gu's house in the second year of junior high school, and he insisted on becoming Su Chengmin's disciple.
He had long forgotten the oath he made to be irreconcilable with the Gu family.
In the past, he treated Tong Huaqiong, Gu Taohua, Gu Jingzhe and others with a cold brow. But now, in order to follow Su Chengmin to become his disciple, he broke into the Gu family's door and refused to leave. He called Tong Huaqiong "grandma" very affectionately, and called Gu Taohua and Gu Jingzhe "aunt" and "uncle" even more actively.
The weather in the first month of the lunar year was still very cold, with a howling wind and icicles all over the eaves. In such frigid weather where water would turn into ice when poured, Nie Xiaofeng was only wearing a single layer of clothing. He was sweating profusely during training, and his rolled-up sleeves revealed hunks of tendon meat that gleamed in the sun.
Nie Xiaofeng is most afraid of Master Su.
When he saw Master Su, he immediately shrank his head like a quail.
He didn't even look at the homework assigned by the teacher.
"Master." Nie Xiaofeng bowed obediently to Master Su.
"Practicing martial arts?" asked Master Su.
Nie Xiaofeng nodded obediently.
“Good practice.”
Nie Xiaofeng was just feeling happy when Master Su continued, "Since you don't have the brains to study, don't waste your time going to a private school. You won't be able to learn anyway. It's enough for you to know enough words to understand military books."
Tong Pandi's mouth twitched and he went into the upper room to visit Naihuaer. This Master Su looked kind, but he was actually very sharp-tongued towards his own students.
Nie Xiaofeng's eyes lit up and he said, "Master, if my mother hadn't forced me, I wouldn't want to go to the private school. Otherwise, I won't go when school starts the day after tomorrow. You can just say you've expelled me, otherwise my mother will have to force me to go."
Master Su simply said, "Okay."
Nie Xiaofeng thought about it, then suddenly grinned and said, "Master, you just said that it's OK if I can read military books. Do you mean I can join the army?"
Otherwise, why would he read military books?
Nie Xiaofeng became excited and made a further request to Master Su: "Master, can you please talk to my mother and let me join the army?"
Nie Xiaofeng always wanted to join the army, but Gu Baishuang opposed it.
Gu Baishuang was worried that he died on the battlefield, so the mother and son could not bring up this topic. Gu Baishuang would feel sad when she mentioned it, as if he was really dead.
Seeing Master Su's speechless face, Nie Xiaofeng said optimistically: "I think I can do it. My grandma said that I have the potential to be a general."
Tong Huaqiong's casual words were taken seriously by Nie Xiaofeng.
