When Song San Xiao arrived at the entrance of the college, the college rang the dismissal bell just in time and the college gates were slowly opened.
He walked over with his tray.
The janitor smelled an aroma and happened to look over.
Song San Xiao piled on a smile, “I’m Song Si’s third uncle, I’m here to bring him lunch.”
If it were anyone else, the janitor would have stopped him outside the door and not allowed him in. But Song Si was an exception, he was the only scholar in the college and might even be a scholar next year, a scholar.
Immediately, he showed Song San Xiao the way to his dormitory.
Song Sanxiao walked quickly all the way over there.
Some students were already going back to their dormitories in twos and threes to get cutlery and go to the dining hall to get their meals.
Song Si had also returned, having just washed his hands and was about to get the cutlery when Song Sanxiao saw him, “Si’er.”
Song Si turned around and was surprised to see it was him, asking, “Third Uncle, why are you here.”
“Second sister-in-law said she asked me to bring you some spicy skewers, they’ve just been made, so you should eat them while they’re hot.”
He said, placing the plate on the table.
The food at the college wasn’t bad, but it was the same every day, nothing changed throughout the year. Smelling the sizzling smell coming from the plate, Song Si couldn’t help but swallow, sat down, lifted the cloth and took a skewer of meatballs to eat.
Song San Xiao sat on his bunk and surveyed the dormitory was not big, two beds, two cupboards, a table, two stools, the rest nothing more.
His gaze returned to Song Si, “Smells good, doesn’t it?”
“Mmm.”
“Actually, spicy hotpot is better, with soup to eat hot, but you just have to drive an ox cart over here, and Uncle San is afraid that there is no place to bolt the ox cart in front of your academy.”
“Yes there isn’t, but you tell my mother not to send it to me in future, the food at the college is quite good.”
“Okay, you eat quickly, it will get cold later. By the way, where is your roommate, if you can’t eat, share some with him.”
“I think he’s gone to the dining hall.”
After moving over last night, Song Si thought Qin Qian would have something to talk to him about, and he was ready to be cold. Qin Qian, however, did not do so and had been quietly reading a book, which made Song Si change his mind about him a little.
Song San Xiao rubbed his hands together and waited until he had almost finished eating before he spoke, “Si’er ah, Third Uncle asked you something.”
“Third Uncle, you speak.”
“What do you think about Miss Qiying Qi?”
Song Si paused.
Qin Qian, who was walking to the door, also stopped in his tracks.
Song Si and Song San Xiao did not know martial arts, so naturally they did not hear anyone at the door. After Song San Xiao asked, his eyes looked at Song Si without blinking.
“What does Third Uncle mean?”
“It’s just that …… I heard Yue’er say that Miss Qi is interested in you, Third Uncle is trying to ask you if you have any kind of thoughts about her?”
“No.”
Song Si answered without hesitation.
When Song Sanxiao heard it in his ears, his heart was inexplicably happy and his voice lightened up, “It’s good that there is no, it’s good that there is no.”
Song Si was puzzled, “Why did Third Uncle suddenly want to ask me about this?”
Outside the door, Qin Qian pricked up his ears.
“Isn’t this because Third Uncle is afraid that you’ll be distracted and delay your studies?”
He said, and patted Song Si’s shoulder, “He spoke in a serious manner,” “Si’er, our family’s hopes are all on you, don’t get distracted, when you are in high school later, you can have any kind of girl you want.”
Qin Qian quietly took a few steps back, deliberately making some noise, and walked into the dormitory.
“You are Si’er’s roommate, right ……”
Song San Xiao greeted him warmly, “Come come come, have some spicy skewers, homemade, very delicious.”
Qin Qian thanked him, “Many thanks, no need, I’ll go and get some rice.”
“Have some, my mother sends me plenty.”
Qin Qian seemed to freeze in disbelief for a moment, then he nervously scratched his head, “Good, good, thanks a lot brother Song Si.”
……
Song family.
The hotpot base made in the past few days was pulled away, Song Shen walked into the courtyard while scratching his head with the account book, “Little sister, see if I remember correctly?”
Song Wan Yue took it over and looked at the messy numbers she remembered, her eyes hurt, “Is this what big brother taught you?”
“Yeah.”
Song Shen’s face was not red and his heart did not skip a beat, there was no hint of weakness.
Song Wangyue wanted to hit him over the head with the account book, if big brother kept the accounts like this, then he wouldn’t have to go to the capital next year to catch the exam.
“Fine, I’ll take the account book and ask him when big brother comes back.”
“Don’t, don’t, don’t, Yue’er, second brother is wrong, second brother is wrong. It’s not that big brother didn’t teach you well, it’s that second brother didn’t learn, you mustn’t ask big brother.”
If he asked, big brother would have to keep him awake all day and night again, forcing him to learn to keep accounts, and when he thought of how he had been destroyed that day, Song Shen’s heart palpitated.
“That’s fine, I won’t tell big brother.”
Song Shen sighed in relief.
“I’ll teach you!”
“Huh?”
“Ah what ah? You choose between telling big brother and me teaching.”
Song Shen stammered, struggling to find an excuse, “Er, er brother doesn’t, it’s not that he doesn’t want to learn from, from you, how do you, how do you keep score?”
“I’ve never seen a pig run before, I learnt in a while when big brother taught you the other day, unlike you, who is so stupid.”
Song Shen was speechless.
Er Ya was practising her writing in the house, Song Wan Yue did not disturb her and went to Song Shen’s house to teach him the simple bookkeeping method.
Song Shen scratched his head, “Yue’er, why do I feel that what you are teaching is different from what big brother is teaching.”
“Of course it’s different, mine is a bit simpler and I can learn it in a day.”
“Really?”
Song Shen didn’t believe it, his elder brother also said that the bookkeeping method he taught was good to learn, but he didn’t learn it in a day and a night.
“Of course, try it if you don’t believe me.”
When Gu Yi came, Song Shen was burying his head in his studies.
It was the first time he had seen him so diligent, so Gu Yi felt curious and went over to take a look, “What are you studying?”
“The bookkeeping method Yue’er taught me, she said I could learn it in a day.”
“What bookkeeping method, let me see.”
Song Shen showed it to him.
Gu Yi read it and did not move, “This bookkeeping method is very rare, where did the little girl learn it?”
“She learned it along with me when big brother taught me, but she’s smarter than me and worked out this simple one again on her own.”
“Simple indeed, have you learnt it?”
“Not so fast? Yue’er said it would take a day to learn, it’s only been an hour, it’s still a day away.”
“Oh, then take your time learning.”
Gu Yi walked out, and then lifted the curtain again to poke his head in.
Song Shen looked at him.
“The way Yue’er taught you was really simple, I knew it after just one look.”
Song Shen, ……
let out an earth-shattering growl, “Get out!”
Several people of Grandma Song were shocked by the sudden bang and their hands shook, almost dropping the ingredients in their hands.
“What’s he mad about?”
Song Lin lifted the curtain, just in time to see Gu Yi smiling and walking towards Song Wan Yue’s house, smiling as he lowered the curtain, “He must have lost the fight with Yi’er again.
