Mr. Transcendence

After checking all the students' dictation, Yuan Anping looked at the sky, and it was time to leave school.Then he said to the children: "After three days of rest, you must also have homework. During these three days, you have to learn five characters by yourself, and write all the characters silently, and let your study representatives check." Most of his students are It is from the village, and there are more than a dozen from the county seat. He chooses a student who has studied well in each place as a study representative, and is responsible for checking the holiday homework of the students he belongs to.For example, the study representative of their village is Li Zi, and other children in the same village will go to him to check their homework.Whether it is dictation or endorsement, or the assignment of learning new characters, you can also find a learning representative, or they get together to learn.After all, everyone didn't have much paper, so they couldn't write it and bring it back for him to check.In doing so, it not only saves money, but also urges them to learn, and at the same time, it can deepen the relationship between them.

As for the study representative, naturally it is not life-long. After each major exam, the one with the best grades will be selected to serve. Therefore, if you want to have this honor, then study hard.Just imagine, during the holidays, some students asked themselves to check their homework. In the eyes of parents, their children are really promising!Whether it is a sense of honor or vanity, anyway, if you use it in the right direction, it can also become a motivation for learning.

After assigning homework, Yuan Anping bid farewell to the students. After the students had finished walking, he stretched his waist and walked slowly to the main room.From a professional point of view, being a teacher is very good, and there are holidays.

After entering the main room, Huo Xiaohan brought him hot water: "Wash your hands."

Yuan Anping washed the dust off his hands, thinking about tomorrow's day: "Xiaohan, it's your birthday tomorrow, have you thought about how to spend it?"

Huo Xiaohan froze for a moment, realized that tomorrow is indeed his birthday, and hurriedly said: "No need to do anything special, don't bother."

People in the village don't pay much attention to celebrating birthdays. Generally, older people are valued when they celebrate their birthdays. It would be nice if a favored child can have a special boiled egg on their birthday.Yuan Anping thinks about it, let alone this, what he saw and heard when he was a child, the children's birthday is not very important, some people only start celebrating their birthdays in their 20s.It was only later that everyone's economic conditions improved, and adults paid more attention to children's birthdays.

Yuan Anping thought for a while, and said: "Didn't you say you wanted to eat pancakes? Why don't you make pancakes tomorrow morning. As for the night, you cook a few dishes, and we can have a good meal on your birthday. I'm a little greedy Yes, if you want to eat braised pork, of course, you must also have fish."

Zhong Sunrui said with a smile: "Brother Anping, we eat meat every day, why are you so greedy?" He studied with the children in the village, made friends, and his personality became much more cheerful.

"Eating meat every day is just adding a little bit of shredded pork when cooking at noon. It's just to add flavor, and it's not enough for each person to hold a chopstick. I've decided. I'll eat it tomorrow. Xiaohan It’s your birthday, no matter what you say, you should celebrate it. We will also celebrate your birthday next time.”

"Really!" Zhong Sunrui was happy, but then he felt a little lost when he thought of something: "But, I don't know when my birthday is."

Zhongsun Rui was picked up by Zhongsun Lianjue, so he didn't know when he was born, and of course he didn't know who his biological parents were.Yuan Anping saw that he was disappointed, smiled and rubbed his head: "Look at you stupid, I don't know if your grandpa will pick one for you one day, let him check the almanac and pick an auspicious day for you, how nice it is!" .”

Huo Xiaohan also comforted him and said, "Yes, it doesn't matter what day your birthday is, we will celebrate it for you no matter what day it is."

Zhongsun Lianjue said with a smile, "Anping's idea is good. I'll check your almanac later and let you choose a good date."

Zhongsun Rui is not disappointed either, he has a grandfather who loves him, and someone is willing to celebrate his birthday, he is very happy: "Well, grandpa, I will get you the almanac."

Looking at the grandson who ran out happily, Zhong Sunrui said to Yuan Anping: "Boy, I have to thank you."

"There is nothing to thank, even if it is a celebration, I will eat it." Then he said to Xiaohan: "Tomorrow is your birthday, I have to express it anyway. However, I am not good at cooking, or I will cook two for you." egg?"

Huo Xiaohan was a little embarrassed, and felt that he didn't need to bother too much about his birthday: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, I can make pancakes tomorrow morning." Of course, he also felt that there was no need to cook a big dinner, but Yuan Anping said that it seemed that he was special As if wanting to eat, Huo Xiaohan naturally couldn't refuse.

"That's so bad. You have to cook for us on your birthday. We'll be happy about it. That's it. I'll boil two eggs for you tomorrow."

Because he didn't have to go to class the next day, Zhongsun Lianjue kindly didn't assign him an endorsement task. Yuan Anping went to bed early and woke up earlier than usual the next day.

After getting up, he boiled water to wash, and boiled the eggs for Huo Xiaohan by the way.

Yuan Anping held two eggs and warmed his hands while walking towards Huo Xiaohan.At this time, most people in the village have already eaten breakfast, and they, because Yuan Anping believes that winter is the most suitable season for sleeping in, so it is strongly recommended that the breakfast time be postponed and everyone sleep more, so their breakfast time is longer than others. Night.

After warmly greeting the people he met along the way, Yuan Anping came to Huo Xiaohan's door, saw that the door was open, and knew that they were all up.

Yuan Anping went directly to the kitchen, Huo Xiaohan must be there at this time.

Seeing Huo Xiaohan who was busy, Yuan Anping smiled and took out two eggs: "Here, happy birthday."

Huo Xiaohan took it happily. It was the first time he had the opportunity to have an egg for him on his birthday.

"Brother Anping, thank you." He was really happy.

"Don't be so polite, it's just two eggs, it's incomparable to those who put on a big feast. If you are so easy to satisfy, I will only give you two eggs from now on."

Huo Xiaohan held the hot eggs and said seriously: "Eggs are good."

"It's really easy to satisfy." He said, looking at the long strips made of noodles on the chopping board, "The pancakes you made are pancakes, right?"

"It's pancakes."

Yuan Anping knew that the name was different, but the method was the same. He rolled out a large piece of dough, sprinkled it with oil and salt, rolled it up, and then flattened it with a rolling pin.There is enough oil and salt, but it is actually quite delicious.

"Do you need some chopped green onion or something?"

Huo Xiaohan shook his head: "That's pretty good."

"Is this enough? Do you want to start the fire now?"

"I'll make two more, and it's okay to light the fire now."

Just as Yuan Anping lit the fire, Zhong Sunrui ran over: "Brother Anping is here." Then he took out a piece of paper, "Brother Xiaohan, happy birthday. This is a gift from me." Sorry, "I don't have money to buy you anything, so I drew a picture for you."

Huo Xiaohan happily took it, opened it to look at it, and saw that it looked like a painted plum blossom. He praised: "Xiaorui's painting is so beautiful, I like it very much, thank you."

Yuan Anping also walked over to take a look: "Yo, the painting is not bad."

Zhong Sunrui was a little shy after being praised: "No...not that good. In fact, grandpa's paintings are beautiful."

After Zhongsun Lianjue came, Huo Xiaohan naturally received another gift. Yuan Anping looked at the calligraphers who looked like a pair of characters, and thought to himself, he deserves to be a person with "little talent". This handwriting is better than many people .

After receiving the gift from them, Huo Xiaohan carefully put it away, he was very happy, with a smile on his face all the time.

After the fried pancake came out of the pan, Yuan Anping took a piece for him first: "You are today's little birthday star, you eat first."

"This is not good, we should give it to Mr. Zhongsun first." Huo Xiaohan felt that the elders should be the first.

Zhongsun Lianjue smiled and said: "You are the birthday star today, you are the oldest, eat."

"Brother Xiaohan, you are the biggest today."

Yuan Anping said with a smile: "You're welcome, eat quickly. After you eat, we can fight. My stomach is already growling."

Huo Xiaohan smiled and took a bite.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Huo Xiaohan smiled all over his eyes: "It's delicious!"

Yuan Anping smiled and helped him peel the eggs and put them into his bowl of porridge: "I have eaten pancakes and eggs, and I will continue to have a big meal tonight. Birthdays come once a year, just like Chinese New Year, so you have to be extravagant one time."

Zhongsun Lianjue smiled and nodded: "That makes sense."

"Thank you." Huo Xiaohan bit the pancake, the warmth surging in his heart made him want to cry.

Yuan Anping saw that there were tears in his smile, and sighed in his heart, poor baby: "Hold on, don't shed tears, there is no birthday crying."

"Well... I don't cry."

Seeing his appearance, Yuan Anping couldn't help laughing: "You must hold back." Then he brought oil pancakes to Zhongsun Lianjue and Zhongsun Rui, "Let's eat too, we're starving to death."

On this day, Huo Xiaohan was very happy, with a smile on his face all the time.

In the evening, Yuan Anping had a few drinks with Zhongsun Lianjue, and even booed Huo Xiaohan to drink half a cup.After drinking and eating, talk to them for a while, Yuan Anping wants to get up and go back.

The moonlight tonight is beautiful, and the earth seems to be covered with a layer of white gauze. Even at night, it will not make people feel dark.

Huo Xiaohan sent the man outside the door and was about to go back when Yuan Anping called to stop him.

He took out the jade pendant from his pocket, "This is warm jade. It is said that wearing it is good for your health. Here it is for you, for your birthday."

Huo Xiaohan looked at the jade pendant in his hand, but didn't pick it up: "Is this expensive?"

Yuan Anping had a smile on his face: "It's not expensive, take it."

Huo Xiaohan was a little dazed: "Didn't you already give me two eggs?"

Yuan Anping laughed: "There is no one who really gives eggs as gifts."

Huo Xiaohan said in a low voice: "...Eggs are fine. Yupei, I'm not suitable."

Yuan Anping looked at Huo Xiaohan who was hanging his head down in front of him, glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, and then raised it in front of him: "I know the meaning of giving the jade pendant, are you willing to accept it?"

Huo Xiaohan looked up at Yuan Anping with a surprised expression: "You..."

"Are you willing to accept it?" Yuan Anping looked serious.

Seeing that he was serious, Huo Xiaohan was confused: "I am not suitable."

Yuan Anping said: "Isn't it up to me to decide whether it's suitable or not?"

Huo Xiaohan looked at Yuan Anping and said seriously: "Brother Anping, I don't care about those rumors in the village, you don't have to..."

Yuan Anping didn't answer his words: "You said you are not suitable, but I think it is suitable." Putting the jade pendant in his hand in front of him, "Do you want it?"

Huo Xiaohan lowered his head not to look at the jade pendant: "Brother Anping, you are more suitable."

Holding the jade pendant in his hand, he didn't do it on impulse: "What do you think is better? Is it family background knowledge or appearance?"

"...It's better than me." After finishing speaking, Huo Xiaohan wanted to leave.

Yuan Anping grabbed him and made him face himself: "Huo Xiaohan, no matter what you think of me, but in fact I am very selfish. The reason you think I am good is only because those actions do not make me feel better. What harm will it do to me." Yuan Anping asked him to look at himself, "Whether it's food, medicine, or taking in Mr. Zhongsun and his grandchildren, these costs are nothing to me. It can be said that if I were like The people in the village are so poor, I might not be willing to give you white flour steamed buns."

Huo Xiaohan didn't understand why he said this.

Yuan Anping looked at him: "So, I am not a saint, and I am not as noble as you think."

Huo Xiaohan doesn't think so: "But there are many people who are also rich, but they are unwilling to help anyone. You also rescued Mr. Zhongsun. If Master Zhang didn't happen to pass by, you might be beaten. You also saved my life , I know that you didn't save me because you wanted to plot something with me."

Yuan Anping was speechless: "You don't need to prove that I am a good person."

Huo Xiaohan said seriously: "You are a good person."

"Being issued a good person card will generally not end well."

"No, good people are rewarded."

Yuan Anping felt a bit off topic, and didn't intend to argue whether he was a good person or not: "What I want to say is that you think too well of me, what better person is suitable for me. I am a very ordinary person, and I pursue It’s not love, love you, I have to love you to death. I want to live a stable life, eat well and drink every day, and go smoothly, even if the days are as plain as water, that is also a blessing.”

"What do you mean?" Huo Xiaohan didn't understand.

Yuan Anping felt that it should be more straightforward: "I think you are very good. You cook delicious food, you can also make clothes, and you don't have so many things to do. It should be quite comfortable for us to live together. It is also said in the village that we Well, let’s live together in the future.” Free love in this world is bullshit, and he would not be happy to marry a fifteen-six-year-old who doesn’t know his appearance or character.For Huo Xiaohan, he can be sure that the two of them will have a good life.As for the gender issue, there are still two years to go, and I can always get used to it.

Huo Xiaohan blushed a little: "Then...they can cook and make clothes, even better than me."

Yuan Anping put the jade pendant in his hand: "Take it. I don't know what other people are like, and I don't want to know. I thought about it carefully, and I think it should be good to live with you. Take the jade pendant first, and get married After two years, there is nothing I can do if I have a filial piety."

"Can……"

Yuan Anping didn't give him a chance to refuse at all: "That's the deal, it's getting late, I'm going back. You go to bed early, too." After finishing speaking, he left gracefully.

Holding the jade pendant, Huo Xiaohan looked at the back of Yuan Anping leaving, feeling very entangled.
