Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, Yi Xuexi was woken up by Aunt Yi.
According to tradition, today was the day to visit. Yi Xuexi had something to do today.
After putting on his clothes, Yi Xuexi went to take a look at his small metal box. It was specially made by Yi Zhonghai for him. Although it was not big, Yi Zhonghai had the skills of a Level 8 fitter, so it was considered exquisite. This small metal box was also where Yi Xuexi put his money.
The old lady had given him one yuan last night, and with the five yuan that Mrs. One had given him, the six yuan was now lying quietly in the small metal box.
In the past, because Yi Xuexi was young, Aunt Yi would only have one or two yuan at most during the New Year. However, because Yi Xuexi did not have enough money to buy books, Aunt Yi also felt that it was time to give Yi Xuexi more pocket money.
Anyway, with his easy-to-learn personality, Aunt One did not have to worry that he would spend the money recklessly.
Seeing that the six yuan was still there, Yi Xuexi heaved a sigh of relief. This was the most money Aunt Yi had ever given him, and he cherished it very much.
Speaking of which, before he transmigrated, his monthly income could add up to 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. But now, he was actually worried about six yuan.
Seeing Yi Xuexi's actions, Aunt Yi was also amused by him.
Yi Zhonghai said solemnly while they were eating.
"Study. After this meal, you'll be seven years old. In the future…"
Yi Zhonghai suddenly had no words to say. He wanted to say the same thing as other parents, which was to study hard. However, Yi Xuexi was different from other children. At least, Yi Xuexi did not have to worry about his studies.
"In short, you have to read more books and study more, understand?”
After thinking for a long time, Yi Zhonghai could only think of these two points.
"Got it, Dad."
Yi Xuexi replied casually and continued to blow air into the dumplings in the bowl.
The dumplings had just been fished out and were still a little too hot for Yi Xuexi.
After Yi Xuexi finished the small bowl of dumplings, he changed into his coat and went to visit Yi Zhonghai. As for Aunt Yi, she wanted to stay at home and wait for others to visit.
There were many places they had to visit today. In addition to the old lady's and Liu Haizhong's home, they also had to visit the few houses in front of them. There was also Bao Guangfu's house in the courtyard next door. They had to go and take a look today.
As for Silly Zhu and Qin Huiru's house, Yi Zhonghai did not even greet Silly Zhu, so there was no need for him to go. As for Qin Huiru's house, ever since Grandma Stick scolded Yi Zhonghai for not providing for them, Yi Zhonghai did not join in the fun anymore.
Smelling the faint smell of gunpowder in the air and stepping on the red paper on the ground, the father and son left the house.
Although they had dinner together last night, the old lady was still very happy to see Yi Zhonghai and his son. She praised Yi Xuexue for being sensible. She had seen many people asking Yi Xuexue to write couplets yesterday.
In her heart, although Silly Zhu was a good person, passionate and filial, Yi Xuexue was a proper skill. Now that Yi Xuexue could write couplets for everyone, his future achievements would be amazing.
Moreover, when she was at the Yi family's house yesterday, those who came to ask Yi Xuexi to write couplets also accompanied the old lady to compliment her. This made her like Yi Xuexi more and more.
Yi Zhonghai was happier to hear the old lady praise Yi Xuexi. After all, Yi Xuexi was his own son. No matter how capable his son was, he had to be taught by his father. Therefore, in Yi Zhonghai's ears, the old lady was praising him for teaching him well.
After chatting for a while, Yi Zhonghai brought Yi Xuexi to Liu Haizhong's house.
Speaking of which, although Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong lived in the same compound and both worked in the rolling mill, the relationship between the two families was not close. Liu Haizhong had long wanted to be the first boss in the compound, and Yi Zhonghai could not stand Liu Haizhong's work, which was at most a level six skill, but he was paid as a level seven fitter.
However, the two of them had not fallen out yet, so he still had to go to the Liu family. Otherwise, Liu Haizhong would gossip in the factory again.
After entering the Liu family, Liu Haizhong also brought the two children to visit. Only Second Aunt was looking after the house.
Yi Zhonghai also knew about the Liu family's situation. The eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Guangqi, had gotten married and gone to work in another city, so Yi Zhonghai specifically asked about Liu Guangqi's situation.
Just like before at the old lady's house, Second Aunt also praised Yi Xuexue for being sensible. Before she left, she even grabbed melon seeds and stuffed them into Yi Xuexue's pocket.
After leaving the Liu family, the two of them went to the front yard. They happened to see Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng coming out of their own home with a few children. After greeting each other, the father and son of the Yan family went to the backyard to visit. As for Yi Zhonghai and Yi Xuexi, they went to the Yan family in front.
When they arrived at the Yan family's house, Aunt San and Yu Li were naturally very welcoming. Especially Yu Li, who took out five yuan from her pocket to give Yi Xuexi as red pocket money. Seeing Yu Li's actions, Aunt San was a little anxious. Last night, Yu Li only gave six yuan to free the three children, but Yi Xuexi alone had five yuan.
Fortunately, Yi Xuexi knew that he couldn't get the money himself, so he said that he didn't want it no matter what. In the end, Yu Li could only take the money back. She knew that the Yi family didn't lack her five yuan.
However, looking at Yi Xuexi, who said that he didn't want money no matter what, and then thinking about Yan Jiefang and the others who fought over two or three yuan last night.
Yu Li could only sigh at Yi Zhonghai's ability to teach children. Just look at the few kids from the Yan family. They were all taught badly by Yan Bugui.
After Yi Zhonghai and his son left, Yu Li couldn't help but mention this matter to Aunt San. Aunt San looked at the sensible Yi Xuexi and was very envious. Among the few children in her field of vision, the youngest, Yan Jiedi, was already in the fifth grade. However, she still didn't look like an adult. She couldn't be compared to Yi Xuexi at all.
The two of them discussed for a while and both felt that Yan Bugui was to blame for this matter. In the future, they could not let Yan Bugui take care of the children.
While Yan Bugui was unaware of this, his authority in the Yan Family had been greatly reduced.
The other two in the front yard were also workers at the rolling mill, but they were all in the office building, so Yi Zhonghai did not have a deep relationship with them before. At most, they were just acquaintances.
However, after Li Baocai became the deputy director of the working group, the two of them began to treat Yi Zhonghai more warmly.
After the two families talked for a while, Yi Zhonghai brought Yi Xuexi to Bao Guangfu's house in the neighboring courtyard.
Bao Guangfu's wife was also the only one in Bao Guangfu's house. As for Bao Guangfu and the Bao brothers, they naturally went to visit like the others.
Seeing Yi Xuexi come over, the Bao brothers 'mother was extremely enthusiastic. She even took out some mutton jerky and raisins, which were rare in Beijing, for Yi Xuexi to eat.
Yi Xuexi looked at Yi Zhonghai. After Yi Zhonghai nodded, Yi Xuexi picked up a little bit of the raisin and tasted it. It was not the modern era. Raisins were something that ordinary people could not afford. Even Bao Kangmei and Bao Yuanchao had to eat them sparingly.
Yi Zhonghai could also tell that Bao Guangfu's wife really valued Yi Xuexi, and that was why she took it out, not because of him.
While Yi Xuexue was eating the raisins, Bao Guangfu's wife also thanked Yi Zhonghai.
This time, Bao Kangmei and Bao Yuanchao were able to score full marks, which was beyond Bao Guangfu and the other two's expectations. They originally thought that it would be good if the two children could score 80 points, but the result was good. The two children actually each got a certificate of 'learning paceset'.
This was especially true for Bao Kangmei, who was in the fifth grade. When he was in school, he had never received a certificate from his family. However, he had scored full marks this year. How could the couple not be happy?
These few days, everyone who came to the Bao family had to be pulled by Bao Guangfu to take a good look at the two awards, as if he was afraid that others would not know about this.
Looking at the present and thinking back to the past, Bao Guangfu and his wife had already decided to let the Bao brothers learn from Yi before the exams. This way, their two children would definitely be successful in the future.
Speaking of which, the reason why Bao Guangfu looked at school so much was because he could come to the capital back then because he could read.
Back when Bao Guangfu's hometown was just liberated, he didn't want to go to school. However, the soldiers forced him to attend two days of classes. During these two days, Bao Guangfu learned how to write his name, and he also learned simple addition, multiplication, and division.
Later, because he learned things quickly, Bao Guangfu was transferred to Beijing when the rolling mill was just established. He became the first batch of employees in the rolling mill, and the Bao family settled down in Beijing.
It could be said that the reason why Bao Guangfu didn't have to herd cows and sheep in his hometown was because Bao Guangfu could study.
It was also because of this matter that Bao Guangfu still hoped that his two sons could study hard even though there was a lot of trouble outside. This way, their future would be smoother.
Other people might not know about this, but Yi Zhonghai knew about it. Therefore, Yi Zhonghai had to understand why Bao Guangfu's wife was so enthusiastic.
However, this was not a bad thing. He was also worried that Yi Xuexi would be bullied by the students in school because he was too outstanding. Yi Zhonghai had seen many of these things. If a child were to be naughty, it would be much worse than an adult.
But with the Bao brothers around, at least Yi Xuexi didn't have to worry about this kind of trouble. The Bao brothers had Bao Guangfu's connections, so they were all tall and strong. With the two of them around, it was already good enough that Yi Xuexi didn't bully others.
After the exams were set, Yi Zhonghai and his son left the Yi family.
When they left, Bao Guangfu's wife stuffed the two pieces of pork into Yi Xuexi's pocket. Even Yi Zhonghai did not stop her.
After leaving the Bao family, the father and son went to the nearby courtyards to take a look.
Yi Zhonghai was a Level 8 fitter in the rolling mill. When they encountered problems, many people came to him for help. After this round of visits, Yi Zhonghai became familiar with many people in the rolling mill.
There were also many workers in the rolling mill near the compound they lived in, so Yi Zhonghai naturally had to go to more than a few places.
However, the rest of the families were the same as before. When they saw Yi Xuexi, they praised him for being sensible and loving. Now, the news of Yi Xuexi's test papers being published on the school's bulletin board and taking home two awards had spread throughout Nanluoguxiang. In addition, these families were on good terms with Yi Zhonghai, so they naturally knew about this.
Yi Xuexi's mouth did not stop for the entire morning. He was either saying " Hello, Auntie " or " Hello, Uncle " or giving way to all kinds of snacks.
It wasn't easy for them to hold on until past eleven o'clock. The matter of visiting finally came to an end. It was just that they didn't know how many children would be compared to Yi Xuexi when they returned home today.
On his way home, Yi Zhonghai stopped at the entrance of the courtyard to take a good look at the couplet that Yi Xuexue had written for the courtyard. He had paid special attention to the couplet at the entrance of other courtyards in the morning, and now he more or less knew how good and bad the couplet was.
Looking at the couplet Yi Xuexi wrote and thinking about the ones he had seen before, Yi Zhonghai had a comparison in his heart.
There were only two or three people who could write better than Yi Xuexi in the courtyards that he had passed in the morning. In other words, there were only two or three people who could write better than Yi Xuexi in the entire west of Nanluogu Alley.
The couplets in the courtyard were different from the couplets at the entrance of each house. The couplets at the entrance of each house were written by others, but the couplets in the courtyard were written by the best calligrapher in the courtyard.
This symbolized the face of the people of the large courtyard, but no one dared to ask someone from another large courtyard to write it.
In other words, Yi Xuexi's calligraphy was not only better than Yan Bugui's, but also better than many people who worked in the office.
Understanding this, Yi Zhonghai smiled and habitually rubbed Yi Xuexi's head. This gave Yi Xuexi a headache.
He was in the middle of stretching his body. If Yi Zhonghai's actions hurt his hair, he would become bald in the future. Thinking about the consequences of baldness, Yi Xuexi could not help but shake his head. That was too scary.
Before he transmigrated, he didn't become a programmer because he was afraid of losing his hair. Now that he had transmigrated, if he became bald again, who could he reason with?
After returning home, Aunt One was cleaning up the teapot on the dining table. It was almost midnight, and there were basically no more people visiting, so Aunt One did not need to add water to the teapot.
In fact, the reason why the pot of tea was taken out was not for others to drink, but to look good. Now that everyone was not having it easy, they naturally did not have the spare money to buy tea leaves. Therefore, everyone had a tacit understanding that even if they took the teacup, they would not touch the tea inside.
"Mom, here. This is the dried mutton that Bao Yuanchao's mother gave me. I can't bear to eat it. Try it. It's delicious.”
When he got home, Yi Xuexi took out the dried mutton from his pocket without even taking off his coat.
The dried mutton had been in his pocket for the whole morning. He had saved it for Aunt Yi and Yi Zhonghai. He had eaten some dried mutton in his previous life and thought it tasted good. Now that he did not have the food from the future, it should taste better.
" Mmm, Mom, try it. It's really delicious."
Putting the dried mutton into her mouth, Aunt Yi felt like crying again.
Coincidentally, Yi Zhonghai had also entered the house. Yi Xuexi hurriedly gave another piece of dried mutton to Yi Zhonghai.
