Ning Dalang combed his hair very gently: "The academy exam tests the accumulation over the years. I don't expect anything to change in just ten days. Reading recently is just to recall and consolidate. There is no need to stay in the room all the time. , there are only a few books in total, so there is no need to read them day and night."

Originally, he had fewer books, but Ayan next door kindly lent him some. These days, he read and copied at the same time, which not only saved money on buying books, but also reviewed and consolidated his knowledge. When he encountered something he didn't know, he talked to Ayan during meals. After a chat, everyone can basically understand clearly.

"I don't know what kind of talented tutor Ayan originally hired in his family. He is obviously a few months younger than me, but his knowledge is far beyond my reach."

When he said this, he was convinced and without any reluctance. Instead, he flicked Xiaoxiao's head: "Why are you looking at your brother like this?"

Xiaoxiao held her chin: "I'm thinking that there are really amazing people in the world who can admit their own shortcomings as frankly as my brother."

Ning Dalang smiled and tied her hair back, making it comfortable and convenient for sleeping: "You are so sweet, are you worried that my brother will blame you for buying so many things?"

Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue playfully: "Oh, second brother has already gone to file a complaint?"

Regardless of whether the family is separated or not, her parents are always busy with things, so Xiaoxiao can be said to be raised by her eldest brother. She can make jokes in front of her parents to divert attention, but when facing her eldest brother, she is mostly very well-behaved and honest, and she thought she would be quiet. He received a lot of criticism, but what the eldest brother said was——

“You can buy whatever you want and don’t have to worry about anything.”

The eldest brother said: "It was originally the money you earned with your own efforts. Neither your brother nor your parents would say anything to you. Your second brother only said he felt sorry for you. In fact, he always said he would give it to you for the money you had saved so easily. You buy new clothes.”

Xiaoxiao smiled and rolled her eyes, reaching out to hug her brother's waist: "My brother is so kind, my parents are so kind, I am so lucky."

Ning Dalang held her little head down and held her against her: "We are so lucky... But Xiaoxiao has grown up and can't let men get close to her easily, you know? Neither can my brother."

Xiaoxiao pouted and reluctantly stopped.

"What does it matter if I hug my brother? No matter how old I am, I am still my brother's sister."

The eldest brother just smiled and said nothing, and took out the footwashing water for her and poured it out. Xiaoxiao blushed: "Since brother said that I have grown up, why do you even do this kind of thing for me? I can do it myself."

Ning Dalang held the wooden basin with one hand and closed the door with the other hand. A smiling voice came from outside the door: "It's different."

The reason for keeping a distance between you and men is to protect you, and it is my brother’s willingness to do this for you.

After careful consideration, in order not to worry her family, Xiaoxiao decided to hide the conflict with someone during the day. Anyway, there was no chance of meeting that person again. After putting on her coat, she ran to her mother's room and admired what she had just finished. That screen embroidered surface.

Mrs. Song was a little uneasy: "I don't know if Shopkeeper Liu will be satisfied."

Xiaoxiao reached out to touch it with satisfaction: "Don't worry, mom, it's just what she wants."

With a "pop", Mrs. Song slapped her hand away: "Don't get it dirty!"

So love disappears, right?

On the second day of the second grade, Xiaoxiao did not go to the county town with her second brother in order to avoid the trouble-making young man in white. The embroidered screen surface was sent by Song herself, so that if anything needed to be modified, it could be adjusted in time.

Xiaoxiao was at home telling her father about the appearance of the bamboo basket to be used tomorrow. After Ning Fengnian understood it, she couldn't take any time off and ran out again. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Rong Yan raising his hand to knock on the door.
