"Xiao Chen, do you still remember the time we enjoyed the snow and recited poems last year or the year before that? It's rare to see such good snow today, so I just wrote a few poems for fun." Mr. Chen is also in a good mood today.
"I can't write poetry. I only drink wine and eat meat!" Tie Kunlun refused to write poetry to avoid being laughed at again.
"Then don't write poetry, let's join together a couplets." Chen Jisheng said.
"Okay, sir, please go first!" Xiao Chen loves to write poems and couplets. His talent is here, can't he show it off?
"Oh, this couplet is the most difficult to form." Chen Jisheng couldn't think of the rhyme for a moment, so he picked up Yan'er and put him on his lap, "Xiao Yan'er, can you know how to couplets?"
"Yeah!" Yan'er swallowed the delicious food in her mouth and nodded to express that she was also in elementary school. She may not be good at composing poems, but she still knows how to couplets. The teacher taught her!
Mr. Chen implemented a universal education system in Yanyun County. Even remote counties must have primary schools. Schools were established immediately after Xuanming County settled down, and Yan'er was among the first batch of students to be admitted.
"What do you know about your little girl? Stop talking nonsense." Chen Ping hurried over in a panic and took her away. "You can't stop your little mouth even if you have something to eat."
"I can! Grandpa asked me to join forces!" Yan'er is also a little girl who likes to show off, okay? Sure enough, during the struggle, he uttered a sentence, "The north wind was strong all night!"
Everyone clapped and cheered loudly after hearing this.
"Then I'll take care of you little girl. It's still snowing when I open the door!" Chen Jisheng touched his beard and said, "If you enter the mud, you will pity the pure white... Yue'er!"
"What are you calling me for in couplets?" Lin Yue'er said angrily, "How can I know how to couplets? I don't have to make people laugh... Then just show off your shame and cherish Qiong Yao! I want to flourish withered grass."
"No intention of decorating with wilted sweet potato, Jie Gao Village brewed it." Baili followed closely.
"Liang Rao, Nian Ren Mansion! Jia moved the gray flying pipe." Su Jianjia was also good at composing poems, not to mention couplets.
"Spring returns and the fight turns to ladle! The cold mountains lose their greenery." Ling'er can also compose poems. She is the daughter of a general and comes from a scholarly family. Do you think it's a joke?
"You don't hear the tide on the frozen pond, but there are sparse branches of willows." The fat man is really good at both civil and military skills, but he doesn't usually recite poems and write poems, because no matter how good you are, you can't go to Xiao Chen, so you might as well hide your clumsiness. I'm happy today , just make up a few jokes.
"It's hard to pile up banana leaves! The fragrant coal melts into the copper cauldron." After the fat man finished chanting, Qianye Ling subconsciously picked up the sentence.
"Okay, okay! That's great, guys, applause!" The fat man raised his hands high in the air, clapping loudly. Under his threatening gaze, the kids clapped enthusiastically and cheered loudly.
Qianye Ling's pretty face turned red, and she pinched Shangguan Qiji hard, "Damn you, fat man, you did it on purpose!"
"The golden sable in the armband shines brightly in the window mirror." Shangguan Wuji continued.
"The scent of pepper sticks to the wall, and the slanting wind is still there." Ouyang Yunyi said casually.
"Let's chat in Qing Meng, where is the reed flute?" Ren Pijiang also had something different to say.
"Whose jade flute! Piaopiaoqing takes advantage of it." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"The jian dances around the waist, shining brightly at the dawn." The fat man continued.
"The colorful night will last forever, and I will forget the coldness of three feet." Xu Wenzhou said.
"Ruishi Jiuchongxiao, who's going to ask me if I'm lying there?" Baili followed.
"When you are poor, you have a basket and a ladle, and the ice is gradually boiling when you make tea." Chen Ping also said this.
"It's hard to cook wine with charcoal!" Tie Kunlun suppressed his words.
"The crane sleeps in the stone building, the incense burner warms the mink, and the pulse is still flowing in the absence of wind." Xiao Chen helped him start over.
"It's still raining even if it's not raining!" Ling'er continued.
"Ah, why does it smell so good? It turns out you are barbecuing!" Wu Xiuping and lunatic Liu Fuhai had just returned. They followed the scent and shouted loudly, interrupting everyone's couplet.
But even though the poetic spirit was exhausted, the wine started to stir up. Everyone met and sat down, and continued to lively, eating and drinking.
"Brother Xiuping, what are you wearing?" Chen Ping was very interested in the glasses on Wu Xiuping's nose, mainly because he had never seen them before.
"Oh, these are myopia glasses. My eyesight is not good. Without them, I would be blind." Wu Xiuping took them off and handed them to him, "Now I can't even see your features clearly, Brother Shan You."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really magical." Chen Ping carefully took it, looked at it, returned it with both hands, and asked, "Our brother Wu Haishan from the Xuanming Tax Department also has poor eyesight. He spends all his time flipping through ledgers and calculating numbers. I broke it, but I don’t know if wearing this is useful?”
"It's useful." Wu Xiuping said, "He must also be short-sighted, but I don't know how much it will be... It doesn't matter. I will bring you a few more pairs with different degrees later. He will always have the right one."
Wu Xiuping is also a person who likes to make friends, otherwise why would everyone like him so much.
"Oh my, thank you so much, brother Xiuping!" Chen Ping was overjoyed and stood up and made a bow to Wu Xiuping, "Haishan is going to be so happy now!"
"Xiuping, my eyesight has become blurry over the years, and I can see things a little blurry. It's okay when I'm far away, but I can't see when I'm close. You see..." Chen Jisheng is not myopic, he is presbyopic, which is basically what happens when people get old. That's true, not to mention that he has to read documents and review documents every day.
"Old man, you are presbyopic. It doesn't matter. I will help you get a pair later. I will ensure that everything you see is clear when you wear it!" Wu Xiuping said.
"Oh, are you so powerful?" Chen Jisheng was overjoyed.
"To be honest, old man, this is a piece of cake for me. Anyway, I will definitely receive your reward tomorrow, old man." Wu Xiuping said with a smile.
"Brother Xiuping, can you really make a car that can drive on its own?" Ling'er has always been obsessed with cars. She likes all kinds of new things the most.
"You don't walk by yourself, but you need power. This is called the law of conservation of energy..." After Wu Xiuping finished speaking, he remembered that Ling'er didn't know this law, so he changed the way of saying it, "It's like a hot air balloon. It doesn’t fly by itself, it requires burning charcoal to power it.”
This is complicated to say, but you will know when I make it.
"How fast can you go?" Ling'er couldn't wait.
"It can't be faster." Wu Xiuping shook his head, "Because the kinetic energy provided by charcoal is weak, the horsepower is also insufficient. I think the fastest speed is about forty kilometers per hour."
That means you can walk eighty miles in one hour.
"Ah, forty miles in one hour, you can travel four hundred miles in one day, that's amazing!" Ling'er expressed shock, it was much faster than a horse-drawn carriage and a mule-drawn carriage.
"Huh? Oh, I was wrong. You can walk one hundred and sixty miles in one hour." Wu Xiuping knew that Ling'er had misunderstood, because there is no concept of kilometers now, and one hour is equal to two hours.
"Hey..." Ling'er didn't believe it either, "Brother Xiuping, are you kidding me?"
"Shuhei is not kidding you. What he said is true, but this also requires good road conditions. If it is a rugged mountain road or an uphill road, it will not be so fast." Xiao Chen said.
