Ah Hui came in third place and caused a huge commotion in Xia Manor.
Actually, the common people did not care about a student's examination. It was just that Ah Hui was naughty, mischievous, did not study hard, and did so well in the exams. The contrast was too great, so people paid special attention to her.
On the way back from school, Xia Yulan said to Kikuko,""I said that Ah Hui will definitely do well. See, I was right."
"Actually, I don't know about other people's situations. However, Teacher usually praises others a lot, so I thought that it must be good. Who knew that it wouldn't work when he was serious?”
"Actually, some people aren't smart. They're just honest and obedient. Teachers like honest and obedient students.”
At the dining table, or when they were idle, there were many discussions about Ah Hui's third place.
"That kid is really smart. Who would see him reading and writing all day long? You can ask him when the time comes and he'll remember everything. The difficult questions can't stump him."
"That kid just doesn't work hard. If he really works hard, he can use half of his strength and study without stopping. No one can compare to him.”
After school or school, when they walked on the street, those people who were leaning against the wall on the street saw Ah Hui and said,"Look at this kid, he didn't even take a schoolbag, dressed sloppily, and still got third place.”
"Thirdly, I've never read a book before. In the future, if we work hard, perhaps…"
"Come, come, come, tell me, how did you get third place?”The playful uncles chased after her, so Ah Hui could only run, afraid of being caught.
When Ah Hui returned home, his mother asked him to go to the roller track to see if there was any roller. Just then, Changjin and his mother were there smashing the roller. Changjin was pushing in front, while his mother was pushing with one hand and blocking the roller with the other. Seeing Ah Hui standing beside her, his mother said,"Tell Auntie, how did you get third place? How do you usually study?”Ah Hui said,"How did you get the exam? It was just a blind exam. I ran into it."”Auntie said,"That's not true. I can tell from your eyes that you have a sharp mind."”As she pushed the roller, she looked into Ah Hui's eyes as if she wanted to find some secret from his eyes.
The second house on the east end of the road was Zhang Fengshan's house. For the past few days, Zhang Fengshan had been very unhappy. If he didn't speak, he wouldn't speak in a good tone. Because Ah Hui was ranked third, her daughter, Zhang Suzhen, and niece, Zhang Suzhi, did not get a place. "Sigh, what's going on? When I was in school, I was also very smart. Why are they all so useless? I almost taught them step by step, but they still couldn't do it.”Zhang Fengshan thought gloomily. His family had dinner in the courtyard, which was very clean. A rectangular table was placed in the middle. His mother, Cui Shi, and three daughters sat around the table. Zhang Fengshan sat a little behind the table. He didn't smoke and just sat there in a daze. Sometimes, his eyes would stop on the face of his eldest daughter, Zhang Suzhen, who was sitting opposite him. He saw a pair of beautiful eyes on her fair face. She thought to herself," Daughter, you look like me, but why don't you look like me at all? I've taught you this way, but your grades can't go up. Why are you so stupid?”His wife, Mrs Liu, came out from the kitchen and carried the rice. She walked to the table with her small feet and put the rice bowl on the table and sat down. She looked at Zhang Fengshan's angry face and whispered,""Hurry up and eat." Zhang Fengshan moved forward and sat close to his third daughter. He began to eat. The noodles soup for dinner was bland and tasteless, which made him angry. He said in his heart,"It's up to you, all of you are so stupid."”She ate a bowl of porridge and went back to her room to lie down.
When he was at the table, no one spoke. Because when he was angry, no one knew what words made him lose his temper and get scolded, so no one said anything. After he left, the atmosphere at the table relaxed.
"You're angry again!" Zhang Suzhen spoke first. Her voice was very low, afraid that the people in the room would hear her.
"What's there to be angry about? He's just that kind of person.”Grandma Cui said.
" It must be because of the general examination. Daonan, my second uncle came in third. We…he must be angry."
"But that's true. Your Second Master and Second Mistress don't care about him. They just look at him like that. He doesn't look like anyone else at all. He reads and writes endlessly.”Cui Shi was an old woman in her sixties. She was of middle-class build, had a square face, and a pair of bright eyes under her light eyebrows. Her face was a combination of seriousness and kindness. Although she was old, she still had a shadow of her youth. She must have been a very beautiful girl when she was young. Zhang Fengshan and Zhang Suzhen's beauty and even personality were probably inherited from her. The Cui family was strict, but they spoiled Zhang Suzhen. Zhang Suzhen dared to say anything in front of her.
" Ah Hui, my second uncle, is not an ordinary person. He is Hirihada. He is just so-so. He doesn't take his studies or exams seriously. In the past, he learned little and simple things in the lower grades. Who wouldn't be obvious? Now that he has learned more and deepened things, his mind is obvious. I admire my second uncle. Look, in the future, no one in our Zhuang family will be able to compare to him.”
"Don't say that. Your father will get angry again.”Mrs. Cui slammed the table, signaling Zhang Suzhen to stop.
At this moment, the door on the street outside rang. Zhang Suzhen turned her eyes and saw Ah Hui at the door.
Cui Shi turned around and saw Ah Hui walking over. He was a 12-year-old boy. He did not have the handsomeness of a young man. He was childish, but he had broad shoulders, a high forehead, and a spirited aura. She liked him very much. He was smart and honest, but he was not from his family. She was a little jealous, and it was vaguely vague in her heart.
"Ah Hui, are your parents happy that you got third place?”Cui Shi said.
"I didn't see it. No one told them. They don't know. They wouldn't be happy even if they knew. They never cared about studying, taking exams, or getting a good grade. They never cared about me getting a good grade.”
"What do they care about you?"
"I'm in charge of food. I'll cook and wear clothes. The rest is my own business.”
"That's even better. It saves me a day of rushing.”Zhang Suzhen praised after hearing what Ah Hui said. She turned around and glanced around the room, afraid that her father, Zhang Fengshan, would hear her.
"Then how did you get into the top three?" Cui Shi really wanted to ask for some miraculous medicine from Ah Hui.
Ah Hui's face was a little red. It was hard to say because he was also confused by Ciri.
Zhang Fengshan's coughing could be heard from the room. Both Cui Shi and Zhang Suzhen knew that he might have heard something and was unhappy. After Madam Liu cleaned up the table, Zhang Suzhen and Grandma Cui entered the house.
The moon emerged from the clouds in the eastern sky. Ah Hui left Zhang Fengshan's courtyard. A gust of wind blew by the river. It was so cool! Only those who live by the river have this kind of enjoyment
