Chapter 75 The New Year Holiday Has Begun
Jia Zheng, completely oblivious to Wang Shi's displeasure, continued excitedly:
"I'm going to study."
He then went straight to the study, leaving Wang Shi sitting there gritting her teeth.
Wang felt extremely unhappy that her husband showed her no concern whatsoever.
Seeing Wang's angry expression, the head maid, Liuyun, quickly tried to persuade her:
"Grandma, Grandpa is also focused on his studies, which is a good thing. You'll be a noblewoman by then."
Wang Shi was slightly pleased when she thought of this, knowing that her husband would become an official in the future, which would bring her prestige.
The next day, Jia Hu and the others stood at the door of the classroom in advance, waiting for the teacher to arrive.
They discussed it last night and decided to apologize to the man today.
Soon, the gentleman arrived. Seeing the three of them standing there in a neat row from afar, he assumed something was wrong and quickly walked over.
As soon as they stood in front of the three men, before they could even speak, Jia Hu and the other two bowed in unison and said, "Sir, we were wrong."
The gentleman was truly a scholar who only cared about his studies, and he had long since forgotten about that matter. Seeing the three of them come to apologize, he was still very happy, even though he didn't mind.
"Alright, sir, I understand. Just don't do it again next time."
The gentleman will never concern himself with matters concerning the Rongguo Mansion.
Seeing that their teacher was not angry, Jia Hu and the other two happily followed him into the house to begin their studies for the day.
After class, the teacher put away the books, took out the pre-written homework, distributed one sheet to each student, and said:
"Today is the last day of school before the New Year. This is the homework I'm giving you. Although you don't have to go to school during the holidays, you still need to read every day."
Jia Daishan had already discussed the annual leave with her husband.
Jia Hu asked, "Is the holiday starting tomorrow, only the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month?"
"Sir, when does our holiday end, starting tomorrow?"
gentlemen:
"School will start tomorrow until January 20th of next year."
Is it really that long? But I clearly remember in the original book, the Jia family's free school only closed for the New Year in the first month of the lunar calendar. Even though the three of us didn't go to the Jia family's school, shouldn't we all be in the same boat?
Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen had already begun to cheer secretly, while Jia Hu was a little puzzled and planned to ask his grandfather later.
The teacher gave a few more instructions on studying diligently at home and not missing a day of reading. After the New Year, he would check his work and then leave. He also had to pack his things to go home for the New Year, but the Duke's Mansion had given him too many gifts for the holiday, and he didn't want to trouble them, so he would have to rent an oxcart.
The teacher left happily, and Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen immediately cheered. Finally, they didn't have to go to school! They were free!
Seeing that his elder brother wasn't cheering, Jia Zhen asked in confusion:
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Jia Hu laughed and said:
"It's nothing, I was just wondering why the holiday started so early."
Jia Zhen and Jia Zhu looked terrified. "Brother, you're really scary. Isn't it good to have a holiday? I wish I could have a holiday every day."
Jia Hu genuinely wanted himself and his two younger brothers to study hard, since he was still young and only had the right to speak before the story began.
Although I know what will happen in the future and the fate of many people, I cannot say it.
Good heavens! If someone tells this, they'll either think he's crazy and talking nonsense, or he'll probably be arrested immediately and forced to find monks and Taoist priests to perform rituals to help him pass on to the afterlife!
Jia Hu made up his mind that he couldn't relax even during the New Year. He and his younger brothers rolled up the paper, rolling until they were exhausted.
Going wherever his mind led him, Jia Hu carefully reviewed the lessons left by his teacher and then took his younger brother directly to find Jia Daishan.
"What? You think the master left too little?"
Jia Daishan looked at Jia Hu in surprise.
This was the first time he had ever heard such words.
Jia Hu analyzed the lessons left by his teachers for his grandfather.
"Grandfather, the holiday is too long, more than forty days! Is the clan school also on holiday? There isn't much homework."
Jia Daishan looked on with amusement at Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen, who were glaring at Jia Hu with accusatory eyes but dared not speak, and laughed:
“The ethnic minority middle school will have a New Year holiday until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the school will start on the same day.”
Jia Daishan looked at Jia Hu, about to speak.
"Hu'er, your grandfather knows you want to help your younger brother improve, but do you know the saying 'pulling up seedlings to help them grow'?"
Jia Daishan patted Jia Hu's head again and said:
“It’s good to want to improve, but you can’t be impatient for success. You’re still young, and Zhu’er is even younger. You’ve already learned very well. The teacher once said that children of the same age are not as good as you. Your grandfather doesn’t want to raise you to be people who only know how to study.”
Jia Hu knew he had been too hasty, so he lowered his head and said sullenly, "Grandson understands."
Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen came over and took Jia Hu's hands.
Jia Zhu said:
"Big brother, don't be sad, we're not taking a holiday."
Jia Zhen:
"Big brother, we'll listen to you."
Jia Zhen said this, but he was also heartbroken. He had been looking forward to holidays every day. He had sacrificed so much for his elder brother. He couldn't bear to think about it anymore; he wanted to cry.
Jia Hu couldn't help but laugh. He was really something; hadn't he already changed?
Jia Daishan was in a good mood looking at his grandsons and smiled:
"Alright, alright, with us elders here, you tall little guys don't need to work so hard."
"Grand Uncle, you can't look down on us. My elder brother said we'll be very powerful in the future."
Jia Zhen felt slighted and resentfully said...
Jia Hu sighed helplessly, wanting to facepalm, but with one in each hand, it was a sweet burden indeed.
"Chengcheng, you guys are amazing. I'll be waiting to enjoy your good fortune from now on."
Jia Daishan was quite pleased, and under the watchful eyes of Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen, he added a little more homework for the three of them.
Jia Hu was satisfied and happy, and Jia Daishan was also very satisfied. Only the world where Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen were injured was achieved.
Fearing that staying there would only lead to more homework, the two decided to leave after exchanging only a few words.
She didn't want to eat with her grandfather (great-uncle) and said she wanted to eat in her own yard, and then finish her homework as soon as she finished eating.
Jia Daishan laughed and let them go. Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen dragged Jia Hu along as if they were fleeing for their lives.
Jia Daishan watched them walk away with a smile; the children were indeed very energetic.
With so much to do during the Lunar New Year, and tomorrow being the Laba Festival, the Jia family has already been busy for quite some time.
Both of her daughters-in-law were pregnant, so this year Grandmother Jia had to prepare for the New Year, keeping her extremely busy. Fortunately, Jia Min had been managing things for several years and was able to help a lot this year.
The day was finally over and the preparations for the Laba Festival the next day were finally finished. Grandmother Jia was able to relax a bit. When Jia Daishan returned, a maid was massaging Grandmother Jia's legs.
Jia Daishan had wanted to talk to his wife about their two children a few days ago, but with the end of the year approaching, they were both busy and couldn't meet. A few days ago, he came home late and didn't go back to the main courtyard to sleep.
Since I had finished dealing with some matters today and still had some time, I came to talk to Grandmother Jia about the arrangements for my two sons.
