The sad reminder of the science man

After the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Xue family went to Beijing with their whole family.Because they brought three children with them, the Xue family went to Beijing by boat.Taking a boat is a very boring thing. Fortunately, the five masters of the Xue family are not seasick.

All the way north, the weather is getting colder and colder.Xue Pan's house was locked up very hard some time ago, and although he had to do his homework on the boat, he finally went out, and it was not as strict as at home, that is, half an hour a day.In addition, the last time he went to Hangzhou, Xue Pan did not go with him, so this was his first time on a boat. At the beginning, Xue Pan was still very excited, but within half a day, Xue Pan's excitement disappeared.

The year is not over yet, although there are boats on the river, they are still sparse.The cold wind was blowing on the river, it was a vast expanse of whiteness, with no scenery at all, and the range of activities on the boat was too small, which made Xue Pan very uncomfortable.

Xue Pan was depressed, but Xue's father was also on board. Xue's mother listened to Xue's father and usually let Xue Pan go, but when Xue's father intervened, he was definitely on Xue's father's side, so he couldn't lose his temper, so he had to do it every day. After finishing my homework, I went to play with Xue Chi.

"Xiao Er, didn't you say that the boat ride was fun last time? Why do I look so boring! Are you lying to me!" Xue Pan asked Xue Jia dissatisfied.

Xue Jia rolled his eyes in his heart, and said angrily, "I said brother, you don't even think about what season it is now, I said what season it was at that time!"

Xue Pan thought for a while, "Oh, it's the first month of the month. You said it was March last year! Why do we take the boat at this time? Why not so many months at night!"

Xue Chi rolled his eyes, "Didn't Dad say that we are going to the capital this time because I want to apprentice, and the apprenticeship date is the third day of February, plus we have to spend the Chinese New Year at home! So we can only take the boat at this time! "

Xue Pan said impatiently, "Of course I know what we are doing in Beijing this time, but I wonder why Cheng Gong didn't accept you in our family, and even went to the capital to hold some apprenticeship ceremony, really, they don't mind the trouble. And Xiao Er, don't think I didn't see you roll your eyes, did you say bad things about me secretly." Xue Pan and Xue Jia patted hard on the shoulder as he said.

Xue Chi was staggered by Xue Pan's vigorous shot, and he didn't understand. He and Xue Pan learned from Master Yang Wu together. Why is there such a big gap between himself and Xue Pan?It must be that I have grown my brain, and Xue Pan's body has gone. It must be like this. Xue Jia complained silently in his heart, but he immediately replied, "Aren't you like this, adults? If we ask, they will definitely answer Don’t worry about adults and children, we just need to be obedient.”

Xue Pan also nodded in agreement with Xue Jia's words, "Xiaoer, you are so right. Father and mother know how to tell us to be obedient, and we are not good!" Xue Pan felt a little thirsty and snatched it from Xue Jia's hand. He drank from the cup, smacked his mouth, raised the cup and asked, "Xiaoer, you made this thing again, what's the name, it's delicious, I want more."

Xue Jia directed to Cuiyan, "Sister Cuiyan, go to the kitchen and bring two more cups, and then send the rest to your parents and sister."

Cuiyan responded, smiled and said to Xue Jia, "Yes, Second Master, our Second Master is filial, and the slaves will send them to the master, wife and miss." After speaking, Cuiyan walked outside.

Xue Chi waved his hand, turned his head to Xue Pan, raised his chin, "I researched this, I call it milk tea, it's delicious!"

Xue Pan smashed his mouth, and couldn't understand Xue Chi's snarky appearance, and said, "It's okay, Xiaoer, you are better than me in eating and drinking, but you still got into my mouth after you made it."

Xue Chi was so angry that he pointed at Xue Pan, "Hmph, I won't talk to you anymore, and I won't let you eat any good things I've cooked up in the future."

Hearing this, Xue Pan thought, well, Xiao Er dared to resist, and wanted to suppress it immediately, threatening, "Well, Xiao Er, I didn't hear what you just said."

Xue Jia pouted, secretly comparing his arms to Xue Pan's, and thinking of Xue Pan's aura every morning when he was studying with Master Yang Wu, he reluctantly said, "No, I didn't say anything." At this time Just when Cuiyan came back, Xue Jia hurriedly stepped forward to grab the tray, wobbled to Xue Pan, looked at Xue Pan pitifully, and said flatteringly to Xue Pan, "Brother, you drink."

Xue Pan snorted, "Hmph, you're smart, well, you can drink too!"

Xue Jia hurriedly hit the snake and put it on the stick, "I know that brother is all right." As he said, he quickly picked up another cup of milk tea and drank it.

"By the way, I often hear people say that the capital is prosperous, Xiao Er, you say it will be better than our Jinling!" Xue Pan asked suddenly while sipping.

Xue Chi took a big sip just now, when he heard Xue Pan's words, he choked up, Cui Yan hurriedly stepped forward, patted Xue Chi on the back, finally waited for Xue Chi to recover, Xue Chi complained and said to Xue Pan, " I just choked to death! And I have never been to the capital, how do I know? It should be better than Jinling, otherwise why are so many people talking about it?"

Xue Pan nodded with a stern face, "Xiao Er, you are right. Hey, how long do you think we will stay on the boat! I am so bored!" Xue Pan got bored and lay down on the small table.

Xue Jia shook his head, and also lay on the stomach with Xue Pan, "I don't know, I seem to have heard that it will take more than 20 days!"

Xue Pan pouted, "It will take more than 20 days. We already have one, two, three, four, five, five days on board. It will take a long time! When can we go ashore!"

Xue Chi was also uncomfortable, and stayed on the boat all day, "Yes, last time I went to Hangzhou by boat, it only took two days. This time it will take so long, the capital is so far away from Jinling!"

"That's right, Dad doesn't go to the shore either. He said that time is tight and he has to go to the capital. So, sometimes we go ashore and leave right away. Let's go ashore and see what happens!" Xue Pan said.

When Xue Chi heard this, he felt that Xue Pan's proposal was reasonable, so he got up and pulled Xue Pan to leave, "Come, follow me, to daddy's place."

Xue Pan followed Xue Jia's strength and followed Xue Jia, "What's the matter, what did you think?"

"Xue Chi said as he walked, "Let's go and tell Dad, let us go to the shore for a walk the next time we dock, if we can't do it, we will make trouble. "

Xue Pan and Xue Jia came to the room of Xue's father and Xue's mother. As soon as they entered the door, Xue Jia rushed to Xue's father, "Father, I want to get off the boat to play, and the boat is too uncomfortable to die."

Xue Pan was afraid of Xue's father, and Xue Pan still remembered the board a few days ago, so after Xue Pan entered the door and said hello to Xue's father honestly, he went to Xue's mother and pestered Xue's mother to ask to get off the boat for a walk. It is enough for the father to be pestered by Xue Chi.

Father Xue glanced at Xue Pan, knowing that the eldest son was afraid of him, thinking that he was not at home now, and he had obediently completed his homework these days, so he ignored him. Happily, he teased Xue Chi and said, "Chi'er, what's the matter, aren't you very happy to go back to Hangzhou by boat? Why are you unhappy this time!"

Xue Chi pouted, "Father, it was only two days last time, but we have been on the boat for many days this time! I feel wobbly when I walk, and the boat is too small to do anything conveniently. Daddy, let Shall I go ashore for a walk?"

Father Xue just looked at Xue Chi with a smile, to see what else he could say.

Xue Jia glanced at Father Xue, but didn't notice that he was unhappy, "By the way, Dad, I didn't ask to go ashore for fun, I have important things to do."

Father Xue looked at Xue Jia, "Oh, there is something important. What important things can you have? Why don't you just find an excuse to go ashore to play, didn't I say? We are in a hurry, should we get to the capital early?"

Xue Chi scratched his hair, "Didn't Dad say that I want to be a teacher when I arrive in the capital? There must be a teacher's ceremony for this teacher! Didn't I go ashore to look for it?"

Father Xue knocked on Xue Chi's head, "You need to go find the apprenticeship ceremony. Dad has prepared it for you a long time ago. No excuses are allowed. We have to hurry, and I know that you complete the homework assigned by Cheng Gong on time every day." , but you should play and play less, if you are really bored, go to review your homework again."

Xue Jia did not give up and said, "Got it, Dad, can I go ashore then? I think it's formal for Dad to prepare, but I can't be unprepared! I will choose the gift myself, and the teacher should be happy!"

Father Xue glanced at Xue Jia, and then at Xue Pan, who was obsessed with Xue's mother, "Why do you two brothers want to go ashore so much? Is it some bad idea?"

"No way, daddy wronged us. My brother and I are very good. We just want to show our filial piety. Anyway, shouldn't the ship also need supplies? Can't we take advantage of this time to go ashore? Dad, let us Do you want to go and see it? The teacher also said that a man should broaden his horizons, do more things and see more, and can’t stay at home all day.” Xue Jia tried to put on a serious look to convince Xue’s father.

Father Xue couldn't help laughing when he saw Xue Jia trying to pretend to be an adult, and took a picture of Xue Jia, "You dare to say that you are a man, and the two of you are at best two little milk babies, so you know how to pretend to be an adult." .”

Xue Chi quit and jumped on Father Xue, "Father, how can you say that about me and my brother, we have not breastfed for many years! You hurt our young hearts, you have to make up for us."

Father Xue is in a good mood, and is also willing to tease Xue Chi, "Oh, young heart, I want to make up, tell me! How do I make up for it!"

Xue Jia raised his head and glanced at Father Xue, "My brother and I are not stingy people, and our request is not too much, just let us go ashore and have a look. I heard that we are going to Xuzhou soon! Shall we disembark and have a look!"

Father Xue thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, since you have the heart of respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao, then I agree to let you go shopping to honor Chenggong when you arrive in Xuzhou, but." Father Xue stopped for a while. , looked specifically at Xue Chi.

Xue Chi didn't pay attention to Father Xue's glance, but when he heard Father Xue agreeing to disembark, he hurriedly asked, "But what, Dad, tell me, do you want to be obedient? I will be obedient."

Father Xue shook his head, "Being obedient is a must, I said but you have to pay for this gift yourself."

Xue Chi was stunned, and hurriedly covered his purse, "Father, I'm a child, where can I get money?"

Father Xue stroked his beard, "Really, I heard that you brought your precious little box on board, but you didn't bring the big box, but you did have the little box!"

Xue Jia showed hesitation on his face, looked at Father Xue, then at Xue Pan, and finally gritted his teeth, "Okay, I will do it myself, Daddy is so stingy. Daddy agreed!"

Father Xue admired Xue Zhi's embarrassed expression enough, and finally said, "Well, my mother and I originally wanted to take the three of you brothers and sisters ashore to have a look, but now that you have proposed that you have to pay for Cheng Gong by yourself, Daddy I won't stop you, remember to bring your purse with you when you get off the boat!" He glanced at Xue Chi and covered his purse.

After hearing this, Xue Jia's face collapsed immediately, and he jumped on Xue's father and twisted like a candy, "Father, mother, you all know that I am joking, hum, I ignore you!"

Seeing Xue Jia's expression, Xue's father and Xue's mother both laughed.
