Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 229: Those who are near the water and the towers first come first.

Mr. Peng looked at the cantaloupe basket and said with bright eyes: "You have a conscience and know that I have been craving this recently. Last time, Jiaren sent me a cold melon. It was so sweet! It's a pity that this guy is too stingy. I never came to pay homage again.”

Mr. Wen only gave him two cantaloupes, "Just be content, outsiders can't eat them yet. I can only give you two to satisfy your craving this time. Next time I come over, I'll bring you more. This basket is It’s for Dean Zhou, I have something to discuss with him.”

“I’m telling you, you don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. What are you plotting against our academy this time? Which disciple are you going to bring in?”

Mr. Peng called the boy to take down the cantaloupe, but Mr. Wen refused to sit down and drink tea. "This matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. Call Jiaren and let's go to see the dean together."

Mr. Peng was confused, "What's going on? Please don't cheat me?"

"Don't worry, it's a good thing. Otherwise, how could I let Jiaren show his face?"

 “Yes, then you wait.”

Mr. Peng called someone to find Jiaren in the school building, and then took Mr. Wen slowly to the dean's yard.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, Jiaren also arrived.

"Sir, teacher!" He bowed his head and saluted. Perhaps he was walking in a hurry, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Mr. Wen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you to see the dean. There's something good going on."

"Yes, teacher." Jiaren was curious, but didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, the three of them were sitting and drinking tea with the dean.

Mr. Wen politely gave me the cantaloupe, and then got down to business.

 I heard that the collection of books from Taihua Academy will be sent for copying and will be kept in the academy for one year for students to read. Zhou Yuan was also surprised.

Mr. Peng was even more happy, her old friend really didn’t cheat her!

He quickly took over the job of copying, and Jiaren promised that he would copy well with his classmates.

Of course the dean would not refuse, and the matter was settled in a few words, and Jiaren also put his name in his mind.

 After all, a year later, the Li family moved these more than 400 manuscripts back, and even if he wanted to read them, he would ask Jiaren to borrow them.

The matter was settled smoothly, and the dean received the benefit and was generous. He gave Mr. Wen two cans of good tea and invited him to attend a poetry gathering a few days later.

Mr. Wen readily agreed. After leaving the yard, Mr. Peng couldn't help but patted his friend on the shoulder, his face full of envy.

“You are really lucky. This poetry club is full of celebrities. I am not even qualified to go and see it. I didn’t expect that the dean actually invited you to join us.”

Mr. Wen was amused and said, "If you give him more than 400 books, he will also be willing to take you there."

 After saying that, he invited Mr. Peng to have dinner at Li’s restaurant.

Mr. Peng refused. Firstly, the collection of books had to be moved into his yard to prevent them from being lost. Secondly, he was also a book lover and wanted to swim in the sea of ​​books immediately. How could he bother to eat.

Soon, Jiaren’s classmates were all called out to work.

They each carried a stack of books and walked in, feeling a little dazed.

On the way, school was over just in time, and the students I met were even more curious.

Mr. Peng, who had been staring at the collection of books until he entered his study room, breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, he still had to label, sort and organize, go to the warehouse to pick up pens and ink, and arrange tables and chairs for students to copy. He was so busy that even Mr. Wen didn't have time to see him off when he left.

Jiaren led Mr. Wen to the restaurant. Li Laosan was also happy to see Mr. Wen, Liu Biaotou and others.

Jia An Jiaxi was used to being a waiter, so it was not difficult for her to sell food. She immediately took over the shop and asked everyone to go to the back and talk slowly.

Jiayi and Liu Yang also helped, and they were extremely agile.

In this way, Jia Huan had some free time and hurriedly cooked vegetables to prepare dinner for everyone.

Jiaren wanted to talk to his brothers, so he also crowded in the front shop.

 One of the well-informed students couldn't help but ask about the collection of books. Jiaren smiled and said, "I've been here in the academy, so I don't know much about it."

This can be regarded as an indirect admission. Their family sent more than 400 books.

 The students were all envious, but mostly happy.

Who doesn’t want to read more books and gain a lot of insights?

 Some people wanted to express their gratitude to their fellow family members, while others wanted to join the team of copying books and get a sneak peek. Jiaren responded with a smile, neither humble nor overbearing, and he was at ease.

Jiayi and the others looked at him, admiring his elder brother's patience and tact.

By the time the food in the shop was sold out, the door was closed, and the banquet in the backyard was ready.

Jia Huan has been working alone for so long, and his craftsmanship has gotten better and better.

There were eight dishes on a table, all common home-cooked dishes, but full of flavor and flavor. Paired with a pot of wine, everyone was eating and drinking while talking, and they were in great spirits.

 A few boys finished eating early and asked Jiaren to take them out for a walk.

At this moment, the shopping street is also the busiest time of the day, with everything being sold on the street.

 Jiaren took his pocket money and bought snacks for Jia An Jiaxi, and also bought a gadget for his sister, and asked his brother to help take it back.

As Jiayi and Liu Yang grew up, they were reluctant to ask their brother to spend money, just to watch the fun. More often, they asked how the academy was doing and whether their brother was being bullied.

Jiaren felt very warm and asked them if they had experienced any hardships in the mountains.

 For a while, the brothers walked and talked, getting close and lively.

　　That night, everyone slept in the backyard of the shop. In summer, there was no need to cover them with quilts, which was not a problem. A clean big kang would be enough.

 Early on the next morning, Mr. Wen and Liu Biaotou returned with the boys.

Jiaren hurried back to the academy after breakfast last night because Mr. Peng made an exception and allowed him to stay out for once.

 As a result, the shop returned to its usual quiet state.

 But at noon, Gou Sheng'er came to ask for help. It turned out that Jiaren and more than 30 classmates were obsessed with copying books and had no time to come out to eat.

From now on, I’m afraid lunch and dinner will have to be delivered from the restaurant.

Jia Huan agreed immediately without saying a word.

Hence, he prepared meals early every time and took the dog leftovers in and out.

There are no secrets in the academy. The concierge has long known that the Li family has brought great benefits to the academy, so the family enjoys coming in and out. The concierge not only does not stop them, but is also very polite.

Jia Huan occasionally brought two meat buns to the concierge, and gradually he became more familiar with them.

 As for Broken Gold Beach, food and wages were divided again last night.

This is the second time, and there will be countless times in the future. The villagers are much calmer.

 Those who should carry food carry food, and those who should take money take money.

Because the Li family lacked the third son to earn work points, Li and the fourth son also wasted a month in the mountains with their family righteousness. This time, the Li family will inevitably lose a lot of money for the division of labor.

The old lady didn't think anything of it. She took the wages with a smile and took the other women to divide the fine cloth Mr. Ye bought.

In this way, the women can make clothes for the elderly and children when they have nothing to do.

Seeing this, the villagers engraved the four words "more work, more reward" in their hearts.

Even in the Li family, there are fewer people working, and they still receive less wages. They are not favored. The village is really a bowl of water!

Jiayin is a money addict. She spent a long time counting money with her grandma at night, and it was rare for her to be too lazy to get into bed in the morning.

At three o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Cui came to sit for a while. When she saw that Jiayin was wearing a red longevity bellyband and sleeping with his hands and feet spread out, she smiled and sat with Mrs. Li under the eaves of the corridor, cutting cloth.

 “Why did Fu Niu sleep in today?”

"This girl was drooling while holding the money last night and refused to let go. She went to bed late. Maybe she was still dreaming about getting rich at the moment. She couldn't wake up no matter how hard she screamed." Mrs. Li looked out the window and smiled. A doting look on his face.

At this moment, Jiaan ran in from outside and shouted, "Grandma, something happened over there in the valley?"

"What happened? When did you come back?" Mrs. Li stood up in shock and asked.

Jia An anxiously grabbed his grandma and said, "We just got home. Grandma, please go quickly, there's going to be a fight!"

Mrs. Li was worried about her granddaughter and wanted to enter the house. Mrs. Cui said, "Auntie, go take a look first. I will come with Fu Niu on my back!"
