Reborn as the twin sister of the male protagonist with her mortal enemy
Chapter 240: Another encounter with the ritual
The corners of Old Mrs. Zheng’s mouth were almost stretched to her ears.
Obviously, she enjoyed hearing this.
The two families didn't have much friendship before, but they didn't have any hatred either.
There are only a few families doing well in the village nowadays. Wouldn't it be good for them to interact more with each other?
Sometimes you don't have to ask others for help or something. When there is a vote in the village, you can support each other, which is much better than going it alone.
Zheng Guixiang also thought so. The more good friends you have, the better, especially if they are from the same village.
But in just one afternoon, the two families became close relatives.
They also discussed when to treat each other to dinner after the Chinese New Year.
When Zheng Laoliu left, in addition to the pork as a return gift, Zheng Guixiang also gave him half a pound of colorful candy, saying it was from the Magic City, which was very honorable.
When Duan Zhihui came to look for someone again that day, the gate of Zheng's house was closed and he was turned away for the rare occasion.
"I heard some noise inside. Why is the door closed in broad daylight?" Duan Zhihui's wife Zou Shumin asked in confusion.
In the countryside, the door is usually not closed unless no one at home has gone to a far place.
The voice inside sounded familiar, as if I had heard it before.
Duan Zhihui leaned forward to take a look through the crack in the door—well, the scene inside was also very familiar.
"Is this... a ritual?" Zou Shumin also leaned in to the door to take a look, and couldn't help but mutter in her heart that the rumors were not credible. It sounded very capable that they could even do business with foreigners, but they were actually so feudal and superstitious in their bones. "No wonder they closed the shop in broad daylight."
Then he said with disdain: "Is this the good teacher you found for your son?"
You praise other people's children to the skies at home, but they are actually engaging in superstitious activities. It's not possible that burning incense and praying to gods will improve their grades, right?
Watching the same scene for the second time, Duan Zhi must have known that a ritual was being performed inside. It seems that the Zheng family firmly believes in this. There is nothing that can be done about it. Some country people may seem open-minded, but they are still very conservative at heart.
"How about we come back in half an hour?"
Zou Shumin was not convinced in her heart, and she said: "Every day people say how good other people's children are, why does our Yanbo have to learn these things?"
"You don't know, there is an old lady in their family." Duan Zhihui was also stuck for a while and explained: "This must be the old lady's idea. A child will definitely not do such a thing.
Although Dongji Town is not as good as the county town, the final exam papers of both places are the same. Zheng Feizhou is only two years older than our Yanbo and is already in the sixth grade. He got full marks in all the exams and ranked first in the first and second primary schools in the county. Such a family will definitely help our Yanbo."
"What does this mean?"
Zou Shumin still felt uncomfortable. In her eyes, it was normal for boys to have poor academic performance when they were young because they were more lively. After all, boys tend to develop strength late. Their child was obviously good in everything, but it was all the man's fault for being too eager for success.
Is it fun to always compare your own children with other children? "What does it mean?"
"This shows that his two sisters can definitely teach the children," Duan Zhihui concluded.
Zou Shumin...this conclusion is a bit sudden. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we praise people for their hard work?
"And Chang'an, you know him too. People said he was bad before, but he's not that bad, okay? It's good enough that he can go to a junior college. His admission to a key university in Shanghai must have something to do with them." Duan Zhihui once again used facts to emphasize that his observation was correct.
Zou Shumin disagreed even more. "It's fine if you say they can teach lower graders, but can they teach higher graders? Then why don't they take the college entrance examination themselves?"
In her eyes, although Gu Changan is a little childish, he has always been a good student.
Duan Zhihui didn't want to listen to this, "They are so young, won't they be bullied when they go to college?"
People don't go to college because they are afraid of being bullied because of their young age? Zou Shumin... Do you believe this reason?
"Besides, what's wrong with being in the lower grades? I heard from Chang'an that he learned his English from them. Didn't Yong'an say that? He can greet foreigners even though he stutters. It must not be the teachers at school who taught him, but those two girls."
Zou Shumin wanted to believe it but couldn't: "I don't understand. The primary and secondary schools in the county are so much better than here. How long have you been studying here? Do you think this place is better than the county town?"
Duan Zhihui motioned her to look at the village road in front of Zheng's house. Not far away, someone was already setting up a stall. It looked like they were about to move over. "Look, how come this place is worse than the county town?"
Zou Shumin said truthfully: "There are a lot of people, but they are all country people. What's good about them?"
"Not all of them are from the countryside. Just down the road is the provincial road. Many of the things there are from the provincial capital or even Guangzhou. You may not even see them in the county town."
Zou Shumin didn't believe it.
Although this place doesn't feel like the countryside to her, the fact is that it is the countryside.
The door of the Zheng family was opened, and it was obvious that the ceremony inside was over.
Zheng Guixiang, who opened the door to see the guest off, obviously didn't expect there was someone outside the door. He was startled at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief when he found it was an acquaintance. He smiled and said, "Mayor Duan, you're here. Come in, come in."
The noisy sound inside suddenly became quiet.
Duan Zhihui did not expose it, but only asked: "Is Feizhou here?"
Zheng Guixiang didn't expect that he was here to look for his son, so he said, "Feizhou's sister is very strict, and she's going to study over there now. What do you want to talk to him about? How about I go and call him back?"
Duan Zhihui naturally knew that the house over there was in the town, which was not far away. The three siblings were used to reading there.
"No need, we can just go over there and find them."
The people he invited had not left yet, so Zheng Guixiang naturally wanted him to leave quickly and kept saying hello to him.
Duan Zhihui also breathed a sigh of relief. "I told you, these kids definitely won't get involved in this."
Zou Shumin was still worried. "Why did you go out instead of staying at home during the holiday? What's going on?"
Duan Zhihui said, "Isn't studying a study-oriented atmosphere? Forget about them. Didn't you also read Changan's letter? They go to the library to read whenever they have time. They say they have to fight for a seat."
Zou Shumin felt that this made sense. After all, the Gu Changan brothers were both college students, so it was really convincing.
The house in Zhengjia Town was not very far away, but the road was already crowded with people setting up stalls and watching the fun, so it was impossible to ride the bicycle. The two men pushed the bicycle over while talking.
"There are really a lot of things here." Zou Shumin also saw that there were really a lot of things on the stalls here, not only a lot of agricultural products, but also a lot of daily necessities.
