Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ning Anhui wasn’t sleepy at all when it came to gossip. “It’s said that at that time, the girls in the village despised Uncle Zhao for having no parents or fields. He didn’t live a stable life and had a scary scar on his face. No one was willing to marry him. In order to get a wife, Uncle Zhao Hu worked hard to hunt and sell game meat to save money. He couldn’t bear to buy or eat anything. He just hoped that a girl would give birth to a son for him for the sake of money in the future.”
He chuckled and said, “He saved Auntie Zhao from the mountains when he was hunting. She said that she was sold by her stepmother and escaped. At that time, she was covered in injuries. It was very scary.”
Rong Yan asked, “What happened next?”
Ning An replied, “Later on, that broker came looking for Auntie Zhao and wanted to take her away. It was Uncle Zhao Hu who redeemed her. Sigh, let me tell you. That scene was circulated in our Fortune Village for a long time.”
“It’s said that as soon as Uncle Zhao Hu received the indenture, he immediately returned it to Auntie Zhao. Then, the young Auntie Zhao took the indenture and asked Uncle Zhao Hu, ‘Did you spend all the money you need to get a wife?’ Uncle Zhao Hu foolishly said yes, and Auntie Zhao stuffed the indenture back to Uncle Zhao Hu with a smile. She even said, ‘Then I’ll compensate you with a wife.’ Later on, the two of them tore up the indenture in front of the human broker and the village chief and became engaged the next day.”
After saying that, he sighed. “It’s a pity that they haven’t been able to have any children all these years. Gossips like our step-grandmother talk nonsense about them.”
Before Rong Yan could reply, he stuck his head out of the carriage. “Why don’t we get Doctor Gongsun to take a look at Uncle Zhao Hu and Auntie?” He was a genius doctor. He might be able to cure their infertility.
Just as he arrived at the entrance of the academy, Shen Tianci, who was yawning, came over. He skillfully took out his snack box from the carriage and put back the empty box from yesterday. Then, he happily invited Xiaoxiao and the rest to the Shen Residence for dinner tonight.
Xiaoxiao was thinking about the genius doctor, Gongsun, who lived in the Shen Family. Rong Yan had something important to do, and the Ning Family brothers were too embarrassed to reject him. Everyone was very happy.
With this joy, he could not hide his smile in class. The teachers had long expected better from Shen Tianci, who had entered through the back door. Instantly, he was selected to speak in every class, making this happy little fatty dispirited into a depressed white steamed bun.
As usual, Ning Ansheng and Rong Yan had to attend Chen Yong’s class. After copying books for a few days, Ning Ansheng benefited greatly. The daily teacher-student questions and answers made him feel enlightened. Little did he know that Chen Yong was also very surprised. Other than discussing important matters with Rong Yan, he did not forget to give this rare intelligent student a lesson.
Xiaoxiao often saw her brother’s tired look when he came back. She thought that he was being bullied, but after hearing what he said, she slapped the table and made a box of biscuits for Chen Yong. She got her brother to bring it to him.
Ning Ansheng felt that this was not good, but it was even worse for him to reject his sister’s good intentions. Hence, he could only brace himself and take out the snack box in today’s class.
At this moment, he was really glad that he and Rong Yan were the only ones in Teacher Chen’s class. Hence, he was not afraid of being too awkward. At most, he would be rejected and take it back to eat it himself.
Chen Yong did not intend to accept it at first. As a teacher, it was his duty to teach and educate others. Moreover, this student caught his eye.
Seeing that he was going to give gifts today, he frowned and thought that Ning Ansheng had finally been infected by the messy bad habits of those rich children in the academy. However, when he saw him open the snack box, the fragrance immediately assailed his nose.
He thought, Oh, so its not those tacky gold and silver things, but snacks. This is a token of his sincerity. I shouldn’t let him down, so Hl eat one.
With his teeth chattering, he finally knew what was going on with the “scent that permeated between classes” that the other teachers had been complaining about some time ago.
Chen Yong, who was a little unsatisfied, vaguely felt that he had forgotten something. As he thought about it, he picked up another piece. Crunch. Yo, it was quite crispy.
Xiaoxiao’s box of snacks for Chen Yong was very sincere. She gave him more than what her brother and Little Big Brother usually had. She thought that the biscuits would last for two to three days and it would not be a problem for him to eat them. Who knew that Chen Yong would skip lunch?
When school ended in the afternoon, Chen Yong still felt a little bloated. He did not have many hobbies in his life. He was just spoiled by the various snacks his junior brother brought from time to time. However, his junior brother had been at odds with the Teacher for many years. He had actually self-reflected and suppressed it.
What happened today was an accident. Chen Yong felt that he had lost control of his self-control by chance. Tomorrow, he would still be the calm and composed Lord Chen and Teacher Chen.
Thinking of this, he heaved a sigh of relief. How fragrant it was.
Not only did the Shen Family invite Xiaoxiao and the others to dinner, but
Dean Lu and Chen Yong were also invited. Xiaoxiao was happy to see it happen. Wasn’t it a good thing for students to get familiar with the teachers?
Oh, that was not what Shen Tianci thought. He was not willing to see his teacher’s face when he returned home. However, seeing that Brother Ning and Rong Yan were so natural, he was too embarrassed to show too much resistance.
He was much better than County Magistrate Shen and his wife had expected. They had thought that this kid would find an excuse to leave before dinner.
There were many rules for big families to eat. It was impossible for everyone to sit at the table and wait for the dishes as soon as they arrived, so it was customary for them to drink tea and chat. Xiaoxiao was pulled by Mrs. Shen to see the growth of the green onions brought from the Ning Family, so the men gathered in the courtyard to study.
Shen Tianci stuttered with a bitter expression. Hearing Rong Yan and Ning Ansheng’s smooth answers, he was envious and could not help but have the thought of working hard.
As a heavyweight, Dean Lu was the last to appear. As soon as he entered, he sniffed and stopped in front of Chen Yong accurately. “What did you eat? Give me a serving.”
Chen Yong suddenly remembered that he was fed because of Teacher. Teacher’s obsession with “eating” was even greater than his uncontrollable state.
Simply put, Teacher was even more gluttonous than him!
Realizing this, Chen Yong realized at the same time—he was in trouble!
He said that he seemed to have forgotten something. It turned out that he had forgotten to leave a portion for Teacher!
As the former clerk for the chamberlain of law enforcement, Lord Chen, who was praised for being smart, calm, and rational, had no change in his expression. A huge storm was already surging in his heart—what could he do to smooth things over?
He was different from Shen Congjun. This kid could still use the excuse of his office to hide back in the government office after causing trouble. He had to face Teacher in the academy every day! He did not want to be taught a lesson in front of other teachers at his age. That would be too embarrassing!
Just as his heart was in turmoil, Ning Ansheng and Rong Yan stood up at the same time and took out the gift that they had prepared. It was a full set of Xiaoxiao’s special snacks.
“Greetings, Dean. This is the first time we’re officially meeting. I brought some snacks. I hope you don’t mind.”
Dean Lu nodded. Although he had long lost interest in such snacks bought outside, he still pretended to take the gift box. As soon as he touched it, he realized that this box was a little unfamiliar. It was different from the one Chen Yong, the useless clerk for the chamberlain of law enforcement had bought for him previously. Curious, he quietly cracked open the food box.. Eh, it smells so good! “It’s the pastry I ate previously!”
