Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 291 Spring is gone and summer is coming (2)
Lin Xiaoqiao looked at the back of the little girl, who was slid like a rabbit, and couldn't laugh or cry even more. Looking at the ugly sachet in his hand, he was so angry that he threw it on his dressing table.

Afterwards, she was secretly put into Lin Xiaoqiao by the little maidservant of Green Bamboo, who usually used it to store precious jewelry in a small box, until a few years later, Lin Xiaoqiao inadvertently found it out, so she took this The sachet made fun of the green bamboo.

However, at that time, Green Bamboo had already done a good job of manual needlework. For Lin Xiaoqiao, a good master who treated her sincerely, Green Bamboo did put in a lot of effort and practiced her embroidery work well. , took care of all the needlework for her, the lady who never held a needle for more than a stick of incense, and I will not talk about that later.

At noon, after a reunion dinner, the two brothers Dalang Erlang and Chen Xuewen hurried to the academy.

I heard that this afternoon, the academy will hold a painting competition. All contestants will go to the Jiuqu River on the outskirts of the city to witness the scene of the dragon boat race, and then draw with it. The winner will get the lottery from the academy. A set of books that can be called an 'orphan', plus 50 taels of silver.

Although the three of them didn't sign up, they couldn't stop them. They wanted to appreciate the opportunity to see, and it is said that Lu Haojie also signed up. Dalang and Erlang are now familiar with him, and they have been clamoring to give it to him early in the morning. Cheer up.

Lin Xiaoqiao was unwilling, in this weather, to join in the excitement, her dewy white skin, it is best not to go out to sunbathe.

So, she bluntly rejected Da Lang's invitation to go out with her, and chose rationally to stay at home. Even a lively scene like a dragon boat race could not tempt her.

However, before the three of them went out, Lin Xiaoqiao still entrusted Chen Xuewen to go to the shop and bring her some cold cakes to eat when he came back.

After Lin Xiaoxi heard it, she also felt a little greedy, so Li Shi smiled and asked Chen Xuewen to bring back a few more.

Speaking of this cold cake, this is an 'interesting' snack shop. It is a new cake that is specially suitable for summer. It tastes cool and refreshing, sweet and mellow.

Since it was launched, it has been loved by everyone, and the supply is in short supply every day. In this hot season, many students will lose their appetite and have no appetite for anything, so they eat cold cakes as meals.

There are also cold noodles and cold noodles on the second floor, which are also selling quite well. Now the "interesting" snack shop is full of customers when it comes to meal time. Many students not only eat a bowl in the shop, but also pack a lot of food. Walk.

At Shen Shi in the afternoon, Dalang Erlang and Chen Xuewen came back from the outside. They were covered with heat, and their faces were all red.

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at Chen Xuewen whose face was flushed. The usual gentleness and refinement of his body had decreased a lot, but he had added a little sunshine and vitality.

After the three of them had showered and changed into dry clothes and came out, before Lin Xiaoqiao could ask any questions, Erlang was beaming and started talking about the lively scene in the afternoon.

Lin Xiaoqiao listened for a while, but he didn't hear any excitement from his words, but felt that his second brother was quite excited when he spoke at this moment.

"Did brother Haojie get the ranking?" Lin Xiaoqiao didn't want to listen to her second brother anymore, and asked in a chattering manner.

Hearing this, Erlang immediately raised his eyebrows, and said with a look of excitement: "Okay, okay, I got No.7."

"Ah—then how many people participated in the competition in your academy?" Lin Xiaoqiao asked again.

"There must be a total of [-] people from all grades participating. The key is that those who dare to sign up this time are all outstanding in painting skills. Otherwise, they don't even have the courage to sign up like us. Yes. So, this competition is a competition between the strong and the strong!" Erlang replied after taking a bite of the watermelon in his hand.

After Lin Xiaoqiao heard these words, he immediately retorted: "Second brother is not good at painting by himself, so don't involve others. Let's learn from brother Wen, painting is the best, but I haven't seen him participate in any competitions. , Show off the limelight! The so-called strong men you mentioned are nothing more than hypocritical people who like to seek fame and fame."

After Lin Xiaoqiao said these words, Chen Xuewen was the most proud in his heart. He was not happy because he was praised and appreciated, but he was happy that the little girl could always worship his heart.

And Erlang heard what his little sister said, although he sincerely felt that what the little sister said was too harsh, but after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.

"Except for Brother Haojie, he went to participate in the competition, mostly for the prize money. I don't know if he won the money today?" Lin Xiaoqiao added.

Erlang stuffed a mouthful of watermelon into his mouth, and Chen Xuewen answered the question for him: "As long as it is in the top ten, it will be a lottery. Although the money is not much, it is still five taels."

"Your academy knows that these meaningless activities are held all day long. Why can't you organize a 'poverty alleviation' activity? Isn't it more meaningful to help those students from poor families?" Lin Xiaoqiao said casually. Said.

After hearing this, Dalang Erlang and the others fell into a brief silence. The two brothers also just entered the academy. It has been less than half a year, and it is not clear whether the academy has relevant provisions and policies.

On the contrary, Chen Xuewen was silent for a while, and then replied with a smile: "There is a rule in the academy, as long as students have difficulties, they can go to the dean to help them solve it. However, most people who study have a sense of arrogance. , even if they are really poor, they will generally not show it to others, so they will not go to the dean and ask for help."

Lin Xiaoqiao felt disdainful in her heart when she heard this, but she knew the atmosphere of this world, and she also clearly understood that some of her personal thoughts should not be imposed on others.

So, after Chen Xuewen finished speaking, she didn't say anything more, and the stubbornness of these scholars was not something she could shake.

June 13th was Lin Xiaoxi's birthday. After this day, her elder sister Lin Xiaoxi would be a [-]-year-old girl.

Before they separated, the four brothers and sisters Lin Xiaoqiao never had a birthday. It wasn't that the conditions at that time were not allowed, but because their family had no status to speak of.

For example, the children of Dafang, because Liu's status was relatively high at that time, so every year when they celebrate their birthdays, they can get special care of two eggs.
