Chapter 427 The gentleman is the smartest.
Wen Zaisi looked unhappy, but didn't say anything more.
When Sanchuan reached the ridge of the field carrying his load on a shoulder pole, he asked curiously, "Wait for me!"
Wen Zaisi gradually bent down to move the carrying pole from his shoulder to his back, and walked along with heavy breathing, looking particularly disheveled.
"I've never asked you this before: how did you get into the academy and become the teacher's apprentice?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Shiyu and Mi Su both looked over at the same time.
"Your family is from a fishing family, right? Even if your older sister owns a restaurant, you're not qualified to come in, are you?"
Wen Zaisi's tone was filled with doubt, as he had never had the chance to ask before.
This fight, however, brought all four of them together.
San Chuan lowered his eyes, carrying the manure buckets that he had cleverly shortened with hemp rope, and walked slowly at the front.
The steps were small but extremely steady, with the toes gripping the ground firmly like rakes.
They parted ways as soon as they came out. Sanchuan watered the vegetable patch at the front before speaking slowly.
“My father was also a member of the navy.”
Xue Shiyu raised an eyebrow: "In the past? Isn't it now?"
Sanchuan glanced at him and said in a calm tone, "My father and mother are gone."
Misu sat on the edge of the field, watching Sanchuan skillfully apply manure, but she felt something was off.
"How high a rank is your father? Doesn't he have any servants at home? Why are you so skilled at your work?"
Misu's innocent words made Sanchuan's lips curl up unconsciously, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery.
“Oh dear! You’re so dense. Didn’t I already tell you? His family are fishermen. They don’t have the money to hire servants. I bet he has to do chores every day when he gets home.”
Wen Zaisi snorted. There were seven students in the school.
Excluding the three rivers, all of them have page boys.
They were always picked up and dropped off by horse-drawn carriage, unlike him who had to walk back on foot.
Misu shrugged, "So your family is this poor."
San Chuan winked playfully and didn't say anything more.
He got up, picked up the two empty buckets, and walked back to A Yuan's side.
The children worked back and forth for two hours, and it was almost dark when they finally finished watering all the vegetable fields.
"Ugh! I'm exhausted. I'm finally done."
Wen Zaisi sighed deeply, his shoulders slumped down completely, like a wilted eggplant.
Misu was even more outrageous; half of her body was covered in fecal matter, and the smell was extremely strong.
Xue Shiyu was locked in a fierce battle with Sanchuan, never taking a break from beginning to end. He subtly shifted his shoulder.
It felt like it was burning hot; I knew without even looking that it was definitely chafed raw.
The four small figures moved in a string along the ridge of the field.
Ah Yuan stood on top and watched, while the others chatted and laughed.
It's clear they've made up.
Indeed, the gentleman is the most intelligent.
……
"Sanchuan, your eldest sister is waiting at the door."
A-Yuan scooped up a bucket of clean water and placed it in front of the children so they could wash themselves.
Sanchuan wiped the water droplets from his face, his eyes filled with surprise: "Big sister, have you been waiting for a long time? It really has taken too long."
His tone was filled with regret.
Of the four people, he was the only one who was skilled at the job.
But to avoid him doing all the work himself, A-Yuan had already marked out the areas, and everyone had to water the same amount of land.
Everyone can leave only after they have finished their work.
After finishing his work, Sanchuan waited downstairs for quite a while.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sanchuan ran quickly to the front yard and hurriedly slung his schoolbag over his shoulder.
Sure enough, as soon as they stepped out the door, they saw the eldest sister holding Wu Yuan and waiting at the entrance.
The child kept babbling, and his eyes lit up the moment he saw Sanchuan.
"Miss!"
Sanchuan jogged over.
Perhaps it was because of his strong odor, but as soon as he got close, Wu Yuan's little face instantly wrinkled up.
Xu Yiyi reached out and took the book bag off his body: "Are you alright? Are you tired?"
San Chuan stammered and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I'm sorry, elder sister. I got into a fight with a classmate at the academy. I'm sorry to have worried you."
After speaking, Sanchuan looked up and glanced at Xu Yiyi's face.
"Big sister, are you angry?" Sanchuan asked anxiously. His big sister works so hard every day to earn money to support them, and he still doesn't behave!
"Don't overthink it! Are you angry?"
Xu Yiyi knew without guessing what Sanchuan was thinking, and quickly reached out to pat his little head to comfort him.
