Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 837 Reasons for Deduction
In the evening, under the grape vines in the yard, Wang Zhan took out two incense burners and lit mosquito repellent incense. A large round table was placed in the middle. Now, except for Qi Dasheng and Aunt Sun who were busy preparing the last dish in the kitchen, everyone else had already taken their seats.

Brother Wang smiled and rummaged through the boxes nearby, and took out four bottles of wine. Wang Zhan saw that these were special Maotai wines. Brother Wang teased Wang Zhan and said, "See? The chief brought these wines himself, saying that they were for you to celebrate."

Wang Zhan said happily: "Brother Wang, you are trying to teach me to drink. I guess my uncle Li will make things difficult for you tomorrow."

Everyone present was laughing. Wang Li heard it and laughed along. Only Zhang Erya and the two little ones didn't know what they were laughing at. They looked at the people at the round table and continued to eat their fruit with their heads down. The four little ones did not sit at the table. A low square table was placed not far away for them. They also sat on low chairs with backrests. These were the broken chairs that Aunt Sun brought back from the warehouse of the nursery and were repaired by Wang Zhan.

Uncle Li said, "Wang Zhan, I know you wanted to give us some surprises, but I didn't expect you to give us such a big surprise. Twelve Chinese professors from different schools gave your composition full marks. Not to mention the city, you are the only one in the country."

He Yushui stared at Wang Zhan with eyes wide open. If Uncle Li hadn't mentioned this, even Principal Ren wouldn't have known about it.

He Yushui said, "That's not right, Uncle Li, why didn't Wang Zhan get full marks? Why was he deducted one point?"

Grandpa Liu laughed and said, "Girl, ask him himself."

The others didn't know what was going on. Even Qi Dasheng, who was serving the dishes, forgot to put the dishes on the table and kept looking at Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan sighed and said, "In that haunted little mountain village, there are only four people who are my relatives, besides my parents and sister, there is the old hunter I wrote about in this composition. I was so engrossed in writing the composition that I recalled every little thing before I was eight years old. I was so excited that I wrote a poem on the back of the composition. I think it was this poem that deducted one point for me."

He Yushui was full of curiosity and asked directly: "How did you write it? Recite it for me to hear."

Wang Zhan looked at Wang Li at the low table. At this moment, Wang Li didn't seem to pay attention to what was being discussed at the big table. She was directing a few children to peel oranges.

Wang Zhan looked around and said, "I've memorized it, and no one is allowed to criticize me."

Uncle Li already knew what Wang Zhan was talking about, so he rolled his eyes at him, then picked up the teacup and concentrated on drinking his tea.

Wang Zhan then began to recite, "I don't want to be the only one who is popular, I can only keep your advice in my heart. Even if I have lofty ambitions, I can only keep your advice in my ears. I have a new wish, to ride a horse and gallop in the world. I don't want to be ambitious and heroic, I just want to be with my sister!"

Uncle Li couldn't help it and said, "You don't have any dreams at all. You just live by your sister's side. Do you have any ambition at all?"

Grandpa Liu also frowned and said, "If I were that professor, I would also deduct one point from you."

Wang Zhan lowered his head and said, "At that time, all I could think of was the scene where my father told me to take good care of my sister before he passed away. I just spoke out of my feelings."

Qi Dasheng put the last dish on the table and sat next to Director Li. Aunt Sun did not come to this table, but went to Wang Li's small square table. At this time, the small square table was filled with small plates, but it was also full.

Minister Jin looked back at Wang Li, then said, "It's normal for Wang Zhan to have such thoughts. After all, this is also an era of peaceful development. Many people in our generation have already sacrificed their lives for victory. Our next generation is also nervous when facing jackals, tigers and leopards. When it comes to Wang Zhan's generation, they should actually live a good life first and then talk about lofty ambitions."

Uncle Li disagreed with Minister Jin's point of view and said, "You don't know his ability. It's a big loss for us if we don't use him." Wang Zhan said, "Uncle Li, don't be angry. I didn't say I won't contribute. I can do anything to help development, but the premise is that I have to take my sister with me. I don't want to do the Three Emperors Sect thing last time. It's really a torment for me to be away for such a long time. I just want to be an ordinary citizen and take care of my sister first, and then do other things."

Uncle Li stopped talking when he saw Wang Zhan's stubborn look. Director Wang quickly changed the subject and asked, "Xiao Zhan, you guys are going to be famous this time. You and Yu Shui should be prepared. The leaders of the steel mill and the street office will come to visit you this weekend and give you bonuses."

Qi Dasheng laughed and said, "That little bonus is just a drop in the bucket for him."

When Li Bo heard this, he pointed at Qi Dasheng and shouted, "Let go. That's an honor. You know, if someone like you makes a contribution and causes trouble, you can count the number of military medals you have on one hand. Do you look like a soldier who has ever participated in the grassland crossing?"

In the end, Uncle Li didn't swear. Qi Dasheng was afraid of Uncle Li, so he just stopped talking. The others tried to hold back their laughter, and Grandpa Liu quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Old Li, hurry up and get the dishes ready. Let's have a few words and drink."

Uncle Li then gave up the idea of ​​teaching Qi Dasheng a lesson. Qi Dasheng was a little depressed. Director Li poured wine for him and Director Wang. Brother Wang was in charge of the three elders. Uncle Li picked up the wine glass and said, "Today's game is to celebrate classmate Wang Zhan. You won the first battle, but Wang Zhan, you must also guard against arrogance and impatience. Then what? That is to keep up the good work."

Wang Zhan was stunned, and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but today was not the right day to talk about his future, so he kept silent, picked up his cup of soda, and said, "Thank you, elders. I will keep working hard and strive to reach greater heights."

Everyone raised their glasses and cheered "Cheers!", even the children at the small square table stood up.

Everyone started eating and chatting at the same time. During the meal, Director Wang called He Yushui over and introduced her to everyone, including her difficult study experience, which caused the three elders to praise her continuously.

This family dinner, which was also a celebration dinner, lasted until nine o'clock in the evening. The three elders then went home. Then Director Wang and Aunt Sun also said goodbye. Only Director Li and Qi Dasheng returned to the battlefield and continued drinking.

He Yushui and Wang Zhan sat with Wang Li at the small table. He Yushui wanted to clean up the table, but Wang Zhan stopped her and said, "There's nothing left. We've been tired all day. Let's clean up tomorrow. Let's enjoy the moon, drink tea, and take a break."

He Yushui sat down without saying anything. Wang Li looked at her brother and said, "Brother, I will also get the first place in the city in the future."

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "My sister is so smart, for sure."

He Yushui also said: "That's right. When we were her age, we didn't start reading high school textbooks."

Wang Zhan was surprised. He really didn't know that his sister was already reading the textbooks for senior elementary school. He asked, "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"

Wang Li said proudly: "It was during the time when you were giving me extra lessons and I was studying on my own. Oh, yes, it was during this holiday. I finished all the primary school textbooks. Sister Yushui even tested me, and I got full marks every time." Wang Li had an expression that said, "Please give me some praise."

Wang Zhan was so happy that he said, "Tomorrow, when the commendation is over, I will take you to Wangfujing and you can buy whatever you want."

He Yushui and Wang Li cheered. Wang Li had fallen in love with a doll last time she went back, but unfortunately her brother was busy buying a mosquito net, so she didn't tell him.
