Chapter 24: Little Hero (2) Chengde was pampered and spoiled since he was a child, and he has everything he wants, except for the moon in the sky, Mr. Mingzhai and his wife didn't pick it off for him.Later, when he was one year old, Song Wenqing, an old accountant in the store, could write. Mr. Ming Zhai bought a piece of Tanjin paper, rubbed the ink with wine to clear the old man, and asked him to write a piece of block letters. The old man said that he has a genius for writing and he has made rapid progress, even if Mr. Mingzhai laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.Then, introduced by the old gentleman, he hired a pedant to teach him to study in Yuantai Bank, and slept with his father at night, because Mr. Mingzhai saw that his son was already born, so he didn't need to go home anymore, and he had already stayed in the store.

It is a pity that now is the era of the Republic of China, and the chance of being selected as a scholar is gone. Although Chengde has the life of an official, he must prepare for him a qualification to be an official, so Mr. Mingzhai had to send him to apply for the examination. Middle school, preparing to take the university entrance examination in the political department. There is only one county middle school in City A, and the students are quite good. It was not easy to get into Chengde. It just so happened that the general affairs director of that school met Mr. Mingzhai through someone's introduction. Ask him to deposit the school's public funds into Yuantai Bank, and the interest rate is set at a particularly high rate. Naturally, the benefits go to the director of general affairs, so long as the school doesn't suffer too much, it doesn't matter.This year, in order to take the middle school entrance examination in Chengde, Mr. Ming Zhai specially prepared a table of wine, respectfully invited the director of general affairs to come and ask for some food, and the director of general affairs talked for him, and finally managed to get in In the waiting list, there are also people who have studied, but my sister Meiying is head-to-head and got the first place in Zhengju.Ah, how glorious I think she must be!

He loves my sister very much, really, because she is admired by countless people.He often invites her to his house to play. She has been there once or twice. Mr. Mingzhai flatters her very much, saying that it is rare for a girl to be able to study. In the future, I am afraid that she will not be a good mother like Meng's mother teaching her son. Isn't she a (big) wife after giving birth to a son and becoming an official?He was in favor of women reading, because reading could teach their sons a lesson. He sighed and said that Chengde's mother didn't even know a single word. Doing exercises, how can a child handle it by himself?

But this time Chengde rescued me from being surrounded by urchins and sent me home. My mother also loved his smartness and beauty, and asked him to come and play more. After that, he became more intimate with us. After all, money is a good thing. With it, people can express their emotions, even if they are close relatives like a mother and son: a son who buys something for his mother can always show his filial piety; a mother who buys something for her child is also a piece of love kindness.Any friend or someone who is not very familiar with them will never have any bad things as long as they use money, or use money to shop for gifts.Chengde's father knew this, so he took out money to buy friendship and various conveniences for his son. Even though my mother was as noble as my mother, I couldn't help but be delighted by his generous gifts.

Of course I can't make an exception.A girl from a humble background is easily tempted by material things, because she has always lacked them, so she feels mysterious and attractive when she sees them.If you like the things he sent, you will naturally like him himself.I gradually became familiar with Chengde. I call him Brother, and he calls me Xiaomei.He said, "You are much more stubborn than your sister. When you get married, don't beat your husband." I (shyly) said to him: "Look at you talking nonsense again, brother, you never have good things to say." My sister was sitting on the side doing plane geometry, but at this moment she also turned her head to peek at us and smiled secretly.

My mother said: "Xiaomei is a yin and yang girl. I don't know what she will become in the future. Only our Meiying is a gentle and good girl. I am afraid that she will be too responsible and suffer in this society." .” Chengde didn't say anything, he just glanced at my sister, and immediately turned his head to stare at me non-stop.
