Liu Hongchang obviously knew that Hou Xinrou wasn't bragging.
He said that on purpose.
The reason why he provoked Hou Xinrou was to use this opportunity to reveal a Chinese essay topic for next year's high school entrance exam.
He had accidentally seen the title of next year's essay,"Painted Eggs."
The general idea was that the world-famous painter, Daffenqi, had been focusing on drawing an egg when he was young.
While everyone else is practicing something new,
He was still drawing eggs, day after day.
In the end, he became a world-famous painter.
This was mainly to tell people that they had to persevere when doing things.
Only perseverance can lead to success.
Of course, Liu Hongchang couldn't reveal the exam questions so blatantly.
If anything happened, he didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Therefore, he planned to use the story of Li Bai grinding an iron pestle into a needle to hint to Hou Xinrou,
The educational significance of the two was actually the same.
"Since you said you weren't bragging, do you dare to let me test you?”
Hou Xinrou said confidently,
"Come on, who's afraid of who?"
"Then let's see your language skills. You can write an essay based on Li Bai's story of grinding an iron pestle into a needle."
Hou Xinrou said confidently,
"This is too simple,"
While Hou Xinrou was writing her essay, Liu Hongchang looked at the books on her bookshelf.
Then, he saw a set of books.
Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry Self-Study Series
This set of books was published by Shanghai Press at that time. There were a total of 17 volumes, covering many advanced knowledge points.
If I can fully understand what's on it,
Getting into a university was definitely not a problem.
That was why there was an old saying,"If you learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry well, you won't be afraid to travel the world."
However, there was a drawback.
These seventeen volumes were published separately at irregular intervals.
It was possible that the same volume was published several times in a row, but another volume was not published at all.
It was very difficult to gather all of them.
Liu Hongchang was still very surprised to see the 17 volumes neatly arranged in Hou Xinrou's house.
He picked up a random book and looked at it. There were many traces of sketching on it.
It looked a little old. It seemed that Hou Xinrou had seen it often.
Just as he was focused on reading his revision materials, Hou Xinrou's voice rang out in his ear,
"The things in these books are too easy for me. I've learned them all,"
Liu Hongchang put down the book in his hand and asked,"
"Have you finished writing?"
"Here, take a look."
Liu Hongchang took it and looked at it. He sighed in his heart. Hou Xinrou was right.
The eighty-nine marks on the Chinese test was completely due to a mistake.
Her essay was beautifully worded, closely related to the theme, and her handwriting was delicate.
If Liu Hongchang were to judge the points, even if he did not get full marks, he would at most deduct two or three points.
"Not bad, looks like you really weren't bragging."
"Of course, I never boast."
"By the way, did you just say that you've learned all the knowledge on this?”Liu Hongchang waved the revision materials in his hand.
"Yeah,"
"Then can you lend me this set of materials for a period of time? I have a friend who wants to take the high school entrance examination. I want her to take a look too."
"Friends? Is it a man or a woman?" Hou Xinrou blurted out,
However, he immediately realized that it was inappropriate for him to say this.
It seemed too intimate.
Her face flushed red.
In order to hide her embarrassment, she hurriedly said,
"If you want it, take it."
"Alright, then I'll thank you on behalf of my friend."
With Hou Xinrou's previous actions, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became awkward.
Liu Hongchang also felt uncomfortable.
He said,
"I'll go out and see if Bureau Chief Hou and the others want to add more dishes."
"Alright,"
After Liu Hongchang's figure disappeared from the study, Hou Xinrou shyly stomped her feet on the ground,
She covered her burning face with her hand, and an infinite sense of shame rose in her heart.
She could not help but blame herself in her heart.
What was going on?
Liu Hongchang was just an ordinary friend.
Besides, the other party was clearly married.
How could he say such a thing?
It was really embarrassing.
It was too awkward.
......
Liu Hongchang didn't know Hou Xinrou's reaction after he left.
When he arrived at the living room, he saw an astonishing scene.
Two men in their forties were hugging each other.
Or rather, Factory Manager Xu was crying in Bureau Chief Hou's arms.
Liu Hongchang felt that he had appeared at the wrong time. He turned around and was about to leave.
Bureau Chief Hou stopped him.
"Mr. Liu, it's getting late. We're done here. I'll get the driver to send you back."
" Okay." Liu Hongchang nodded.
Bureau Chief Hou hesitated for a moment before saying,"
"Old Xu's life isn't good. He hasn't had a child after being married for so many years. When he saw that my son was already married, he was reminded of the scene and drank a little more."
Afraid that Liu Hongchang would misunderstand, he took the initiative to explain,
Liu Hongchang, who was about to walk out, stopped and asked,"
"Chief Hou, I'm going to say something. Is it his wife's problem that Factory Manager Xu doesn't have a child?”
"Yes, but he and his wife have a very good relationship. He can't bear to get a divorce, so..."
If it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, Liu Hongchang would have clapped his hands and cheered.
The opportunity for Factory Manager Xu to owe him a favor had arrived.
He asked for a pen and paper. After writing the prescription, he handed it to Chief Hou and said,
"Chief Hou, this is a folk prescription that I came across by chance. It's said to be very effective in giving birth. You can let Factory Manager Xu try it."
Bureau Chief Hou didn't have much hope and said,"
"Alright, I'll give it to Old Xu when he wakes up."
