Chapter 334 Double Happiness
Chapter 334 Double Happiness
The big ship docked at the Eleven Trees Pier.
Mr. Xu and the children were waiting here.
The adults must be busy in the fields and haven't come over yet.
After Han Mingxiang and his friends got off the boat, they were surrounded by children, who chattered and asked questions that concerned them.
Han Yisong, Han Yibai, Miaomiao and several other children surrounded Han Yinan and looked at him eagerly.
"Brother, brother, did you pass the examination?"
"I passed the exam. I passed the exam and became a Tongsheng!"
Han Yinan excitedly answered his brother and sister's questions, and the next moment he saw Goudan standing outside the children.
He looked a little lonely and looked with envy at Han Yinan who was surrounded by his younger siblings.
Han Yinan walked over and pulled Goudan over.
It's not like a few little guys asked him and he was embarrassed to say it.
"I didn't pass the exam this time."
He raised his head and smiled, with a determined gleam in his eyes.
"But don't worry, I will definitely pass the exam next year!"
The children immediately took his hand.
"We believe in you. Brother Goudan is the best. You will definitely pass the exam next year!"
Erniu held Han Zhide's hand and comforted him, "It's okay, didn't the teacher say that failure once is not a big deal?
Next year I will take the exam with you. I may not pass, but you will definitely pass!"
Han learned about this and hugged Erniu tightly.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she patted his back, "Brother, what are you talking about? We will all pass the exam. We will study hard and practice calligraphy well this year, and we will all pass the exam."
Master Xu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the children with a kind smile.
Han Mingxiang stood next to him and told him all the results of their exam.
Then the two of them stood by and watched the children express their true emotions.
Regardless of whether they passed the exam or not, they gave them comfort without ridicule or condemnation.
All I got was a warm hug and a pat of encouragement.
Master Xu laughed out loud towards the sky.
“Hahaha, I have taught so many classes of students.
Only when you come to this Peach Blossom Spring can you see the purity of human nature. This is the goal that a scholar pursues throughout his life!
I have been wrong in the past, so wrong!
I always wonder how many students, scholars, or juren I can teach.
In fact, throughout their lives, students should be taught to be kind and loving, not afraid of difficulties, and to bravely move forward!
I didn’t expect that I would get so old, but in this Peach Blossom Spring I caught a glimpse of the truth of being a teacher.
Come on, kids, let's go back to school!"
Li Lanzhen was standing farther away, saw this scene, and heard what Master Xu said.
Her heart was also touched. Yes, children are innocent. She hoped that they would always keep this innocence in a place deep in their hearts.
I hope they can remember this scene today.
At lunch time, the adults all came back from the fields.
The old man also entered the dining room with the children.
Once again, there was a wave of inquiries, encouragement and praise.
The two children who did not pass the exam were no longer dejected. Instead, they raised their heads and told their family members calmly.
Old Master Xu said to Grandma Goudan and Han Dazhong's family.
“These two children must have suffered from poor handwriting.
There is no problem with their academics. Both of them are smart and usually do well in memorizing.
Han Yinan and Zheng Sanwang were educated by their uncles or grandfathers since childhood and have already learned "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names".
As for Su Chen, he is not on the same level as them. This child was enlightened early and has solid handwriting.
Whether they pass the examination to become a student or not, they are all good children.
For those who didn’t pass the exam and those who want to take the Tongsheng exam next year, let’s all work hard! ”
There were also layers of people surrounding Han Mingxiang.
Everyone is happy for him!
They left their hometown and fled to escape famine along the way. They did not have enough to eat and could not sleep well, in order to avoid the soldiers who were conscripting men.
They encountered natural disasters and man-made disasters, and he jumped into the flood to save Han Shulan. The two of them disappeared and were finally caught by bandits...
This series of hardships did not destroy his will, but instead inspired his confidence in learning and progress, making him the first scholar in Hanjia Village, no, it should be said that he was the first scholar in Taohuayuan!
He is a scholar who came from their farm family!
A scholar who has lived and grown up with them since childhood!
Everyone was very proud and smiling happily!
Han Shunde knew that these children would be coming back today, so he arranged in the cafeteria to add a few more dishes at noon to celebrate for everyone.
The fish in the reed marsh are now at their plumpest. More than 100 fish were caught today.
So, at noon, there is a dish of braised fish fillets, fresh wild vegetables mixed with cold vegetables, cabbage stewed with tofu, tomato and egg soup, and egg and leek dumplings to fill you up.
The wild vegetables in spring are fresh, tender and crisp. After being boiled in water to remove the astringency, they are chopped into fine pieces of green onion and poured with hot oil to bring out the aroma of the green onion. It is a very delicious dish, even more fragrant than meat!
The braised fish fillets are made with soybean paste dumplings brewed by Li Sanya.
Li Lanzhen really likes to eat soybean paste dumplings.
After they finished making it a few years ago, Li Lanzhen took two lumps of sauce back to her own yard.
Chop the meat into small pieces, stir-fry until fragrant, then add the sauce dumplings and chopped chili peppers.
After it cools down, put it into small jars.
When you need to give a few children a midnight snack, just put a handful of snow-white noodles and a spoonful of sauce in them. It is very delicious.
The cabbages were also freshly grown. After the greenhouse vegetables were removed, Zhang Deshui led the young men to reclaim more than eight acres of land near the canteen.
Specially used for growing vegetables, the cabbage grown from the cabbage seeds in Li Lanzhen's space is sweet and delicious, and both adults and children like to eat it.
So it is planted all year round.
Some time ago, Li Lanzhen also taught Xue Nizi and others how to make kimchi and spicy cabbage with fresh cabbage.
These two side dishes received unanimous praise after they were served on the table.
So in addition to sauerkraut and pickles, these two side dishes are also indispensable side dishes on their table all year round.
The chive box is only the size of a woman's hand.
The crust is golden brown and crispy, and the vegetable filling inside is very filling.
Golden eggs, emerald green leeks, crunchy when you take a bite.
Han Yuemei first served Li Lanzhen a bowl of egg and tomato soup.
"Mom, have some soup first. You've been running all morning. Are you tired?
"My younger brother passed the exam and became a scholar, and your eldest grandson also passed the exam and became a student. Are you happy?"
Li Lanzhen took the bowl of soup and laughed.
"I'm happy. Why wouldn't I be happy? I'm happy for any of you who make progress!"
He pulled Han Yuemei to sit next to him, picked up a golden and crispy chive box with chopsticks and put it in her bowl.
"Come, let me pick up a leek box for you to eat. It's your favorite since you were a child.
You haven’t eaten this for more than three years, right? Eat more today.”
Li Lanzhen also picked up some leek dumplings for the children around her.
She glanced at Han Mingxiang and Han Shulan who were sitting opposite her.
Han Shulan's little face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with pride and happiness.
That kind of arrogance and pride overflowed.
"Shulan, stop looking at Mingxiang. Eat fish. Spring fish are so plump. Eat more."
After listening to his mother, Han Mingxiang quickly picked up a piece of fish and put it in Han Shulan's bowl.
Unexpectedly, when Han Shulan picked up the fish with chopsticks and opened her mouth to take a bite, she suddenly covered her mouth and ran away with a scream.
Han Mingxiang was startled and quickly chased after him.
Li Lanzhen was stunned for a moment, then laughed even more happily.
"Hahahaha, today is a double happiness!"
