Chapter 197

"Instructor Li, please wait!"

Ye Xiaotian dashed out of the room and rushed to the front of Instructor Li. He smiled and said, "Your Excellency, it's not that I'm unwilling, but I was too surprised just now and couldn't react in time."

A smile appeared on Instructor Li's face and said, "So you're willing? That's good. Did you come to Tongren to do business or to look for relatives? "

Ye Xiaotian said, "You can consider it as looking for relatives."

Instructor Li chuckled and said, "Then, you should have a lot of skills. In your spare time, you should read more books. It's always good to prepare for homework. I'll help you settle down in the next few days. Once you've settled down, I'll tell you the details. Do you have a travel permit? Give it to me."

Ye Xiaotian quickly took out the travel permit and gave it to Instructor Li with both hands. He bowed to the ground and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Excellency!"

Having solved this year's enrollment problem, Instructor Li was in a good mood and left with a smile. Ye Xiaotian was also filled with joy as he stood there. Yaoyao came out of the room with a confused look. Ye Xiaotian bent down and smiled as he pinched her little face and said, "Little girl, you almost spoiled my plans."

Yaoyao felt wronged and said, "Did I do something wrong? But mother said … "

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "It's not that you did something wrong, it's just that I don't understand these official rules. Actually, my Yaoyao is very obedient."

Yaoyao heard this and immediately became happy, "Brother Xiaotian, why are you so happy?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "Brother was sitting at home and accidentally became a Xiucai. This is something that many people can't do even if they racked their brains. Brother got it without any effort. Don't you think I'm happy?"

Yaoyao still didn't understand what Ye Xiaotian was talking about, but she knew it must be a good thing. So she also smiled happily and nodded her head, "Yes! I'm happy! "

At this time, Mao Wenzhi came back with a few straw raincoats on his shoulders. When he heard that Ye Xiaotian was going to be a Xiucai, he immediately looked up and down at him curiously. Ye Xiaotian was in a good mood and imitated his accent. He stared at him and said, "Why are you looking at me?"

Mao Wenzhi reflexively rolled up his sleeves and said with an unruly expression, "So what if I'm not looking at you? You … Hehe … Big Brother, you are teasing me … "

Mao Wenzhi suddenly reacted and laughed. Ye Xiaotian also smiled and said, "Quickly put the straw rain cloak in the house. I've encountered a joyous occasion today, so I'll treat you to a drink!"

When Mao Wenzhi heard that he was going to drink, he immediately put the straw raincoat back in the house, locked the door and ran back. When Yaoyao heard that they were going to eat good food, she was also drooling. She jumped up and said, "Brother Xiaotian, I want to eat rice tofu. I heard it's delicious."

Ye Xiaotian said, "Fine, fine, I'll let you eat as much as you want!" When he turned around, he saw Fuwa looking at him with a pair of black eyes. Ye Xiaotian immediately put on a straight face and said, "Why are you looking at me? I don't think there's anything for you. Go eat your bamboo shoots! "

Yaoyao hugged Fuwa's neck and whispered into its ear, "Good Fuwa, don't be sad. Big Sister will secretly feed you."

Ye Xiaotian helplessly shook his head. This little girl had spoiled this iron-eating beast to the point that it was a little outrageous. Mao Wenzhi asked excitedly, "Big Brother, if you become a County Scholar, will the Xue family rush to marry their daughter to you?"

Ye Xiaotian also felt that his chances of success had increased. He said happily, "I think so too. Let's go to the Xue family tomorrow and tell this good news to my father-in-law. If I become a County Scholar, my status will be good enough for Miss Shuiwu, right?"

Yaoyao excitedly pulled Ye Xiaotian's hand and said impatiently, "Brother Xiaotian, is mother coming back?"

Ye Xiaotian picked her up and put her on Fuwa's back. He held her shoulders and said, "Yes! At most, she will be back in a few days. "

Hearing this, Yaoyao was overjoyed. Her pair of short legs lightly tapped on Fuwa's fat belly. Like a general riding a tall horse, she cheered, "Oh ~ ~ ~ Hoo ~ ~ ~ Go!"

Fuwa was excited and ran forward happily. It really thought of itself as a good steed …

Guizhou cuisine emphasized the word "sour". The locals had a saying, "If you don't eat sour food for three days, you will jump up and down while walking". Ye Xiaotian was not used to it, but Yaoyao ate it happily. As for Mao Wenzhi, as long as this glutton had something to eat, he was happy. There was nothing he didn't like or couldn't eat.

After a peaceful night, it really rained heavily the next day. Ye Xiaotian looked at the downpour and couldn't help but frown. He wanted to go another day, but anyone would want to immediately share such a happy event with their sweetheart. How could a young man like Ye Xiaotian have the patience to wait?

It was just that the rain was unexpectedly heavy. If he brought Yaoyao along, it would be inconvenient. Ye Xiaotian tried every possible way to persuade Yaoyao to stay in the store. He also told the waiter to help look after the store. On such a heavy rainy day, there were no customers in the store, so the waiter happily agreed and accompanied Yaoyao in her room.

Yaoyao stood by the window and pouted her mouth like a piglet. She looked unhappily at Ye Xiaotian walking away. Fuwa also followed her. Her two front paws were on the window, and her big round head popped out. She looked at the two people in the rain and rain.

The rain came quickly and left quickly. When Ye Xiaotian and Mao Wenzhi were about to reach Sanli Village, the downpour had already turned into a drizzle. Mao Wenzhi pushed the hat off his head and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Big Brother, are we going to enter the village directly?"

Ye Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "No, let's go around the back of the village. It's best to see Shuiwu first and then talk to her father."

Mao Wenzhi naturally did not have any objections. Seeing that they had arrived at Sanli Village, the two of them went around the back of the village. At this time, the rain had basically stopped. The grassland was watery, and the taller weeds were lowered by the rain. They swayed in the rain that did not even reach their calves, like aquatic plants.

Mao Wenzhi stepped on the water and was having a lot of fun. Ye Xiaotian saw him like this and felt helpless. This man is as stupid as a tycoon. But how old are you? Can you not be so stupid? However, if you think about it carefully, although Mao Wenzhi still has a childlike innocence and can compete with Luo Daheng, you might think that he lives a muddle-headed life, but he lives happier than most people.

"We are here! You stay here first. I will climb over the wall to find Shuiwu and talk to her first … "

Ye Xiaotian said as he looked back. When he saw the situation behind him, he was stunned. Mao Wenzhi had disappeared! Behind him was a vast expanse of water. Patches of weeds were lying in the water, rippling with the waves. Mao Wenzhi had disappeared. A chill ran down Ye Xiaotian's spine. "Could it be that I've seen a ghost?"

At this moment, a large hand suddenly emerged from the surface of the water, waving desperately in the water, causing waves to splash everywhere. Then, a head popped up and shouted, "Help! Help! I don't know … Gu dong dong … water … "

The head sank again and a string of bubbles appeared on the water. The duckweed that was swung away floated back and gathered on the water, looking no different from the surrounding aquatic plants. It turned out that there was a stagnant pond behind the Xue's house. The surface of the pond was covered with duckweed. After the heavy rain, the pond was full of water and was level with the surrounding ground. If one didn't look carefully, one would think that it was also a flooded grassland.

Mao Wenzhi played all the way here. He jumped up from time to time and slammed his whole body down heavily, splashing water high. He was having a lot of fun. Just now, he did the same thing and jumped directly into the pond. When Ye Xiaotian turned around, he had just sunk to the bottom. He desperately kicked at the bottom of the water to float up.

Ye Xiaotian was shocked. He didn't know where the edge of the pond was and how deep it was. While he was looking around in panic, Mao Wenzhi popped out of the water again with duckweed on his head. He shouted, "I don't know how to swim, help …" Before he finished his words, he disappeared again.

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly looked around and saw a twisted dead branch sticking out of the wall of the Xue's house. It must be some firewood piled up against the wall. The low wall was not high and only reached up to a person's shoulder. Ye Xiaotian hurriedly grabbed the branch and pulled it out.

The Xue Family's old house had been in disrepair for years. Last time, they wanted to renovate it, but all the bricks and tiles had been used by Ye Xiaotian. Moreover, only the wall next to the neighbor's house was built. The wall in the backyard had not been renovated yet. Ye Xiaotian pulled hard and the wall collapsed with a "boom". Ye Xiaotian was stunned. He didn't have time to care about this matter and hurriedly pulled the branch to save the person.

Mao Wenzhi struggled to appear on the water again. Ye Xiaotian hurriedly pushed the branch forward and shouted, "Catch it!" Mao Wenzhi grabbed the branch in a flurry and climbed out of the pond. His body was covered in green duckweed. He wiped the rainwater off his face and said, "Oh my god, big brother, you almost poked my eye with that stick."

Ye Xiaotian said unhappily, "How old are you? You haven't been well-behaved along the way. Look at you jumping around … "

Ye Xiaotian was scolding Mao Wenzhi when an angry voice came from behind, "Are you the one who dug the wall of my house?"

Ye Xiaotian turned around and saw Father Xue holding a manure fork and standing in the backyard with an unfriendly expression. Xue Shuiwu and Mother Xue stood behind him and looked at him in shock. Ye Xiaotian hurriedly threw the branch away and went forward. "Father-in-law, it's a misunderstanding. I actually wanted to dig the wall of Old Xie's house."

Father Xue was furious. He rushed over with the manure fork and shouted, "You scoundrel, you built the west mountain wall of my house like a city wall. I haven't even settled the score with you and now you're digging the wall of my backyard. Why don't you dig the wall of my house as well?"

Ye Xiaotian dodged in a panic and waved his hands. "Hold on, hold on. I'm here to deliver good news."

Mao Wenzhi saw Father Xue brandishing the manure fork and turned to run. In his panic, he went straight for the pond. After running a few steps, he didn't have the ability to cross the water. His body became shorter and shorter and he didn't enter the pond again. "Gulp, help … I can't swim … gulp, gulp …"

Father Xue was stunned when he saw that someone was about to die. Ye Xiaotian walked over and said politely, "Father-in-law, please lend me a fork." He didn't wait for Father Xue's reply and snatched the fork from his hand. He turned the fork upside down and passed it into the water.

Mao Wenzhi came out of the pond again with a round belly. Ye Xiaotian saw Father Xue's astonished expression and comforted, "Father-in-law, don't worry. This fellow can really drink water."

Father Xue suddenly reacted and snatched the manure fork angrily. "I don't care if he can drink water or not. I'm asking you, what are you doing in my house again?"

At this moment, three heads peeked out from behind a few willow trees and stared at them. They were Yang Santhin, Yue Ming and Xing Erdong. Yang Santhin was drenched like a drowned rat. He wiped the rainwater off his face and sneered, "So this is where Shuiwu lives. She won't be able to escape this time! Hmph hmph … "
