Liu Jin was coaxed by Hu Qingqing's promise of delicious food, and he really did not complain to Hu Youshu and the others.

The little guy is still young, so as long as Hu Qingqing can establish prestige in his heart, even if he is really spoiled and turned into a naughty child, Hu Qingqing is unlikely to suffer.

What's more, the cruel words Qin Xiaoxiao uttered the year before last will not be ineffective. Even if Hu Youshu and the others think that Hu Qingqing is very evil, they must carefully consider and be prepared to cut off their hands and feet if they want to cause trouble for her.

They don't have the courage to bear this kind of pain that goes deep into their bones a second time.

Hu Qingqing didn't know that she was being protected by her little cousin. Every time she taught Liu Jin a lesson, she only dared to come secretly. When she grew up, she accidentally discovered this and thought that she was protected by God, and she often exposed it to Qin Xiaoxiao.

Gratitude to God.

At that time, Qin Xiaoxiao already knew his abilities and would always laugh and say nothing.

Originally, after paying New Year's greetings to the Hu family, Qin Xiaoxiao no longer had to follow the adults around. But last year she became Xu Ze's disciple, so it really makes no sense not to go to pay New Year's greetings this year.

So on the tenth day of the first lunar month, she was urged by Lin Qiuniang to get up from the bed sleepily, dress up and have breakfast, and then followed Qinshan Lin Qiuniang and Qin He, who also wanted to pay New Year greetings to Master Qiu, on their way to the county town.

of mountain roads.

Originally, Lin Qiuniang had no choice but to go, but the day before yesterday Zhou Baoer and her husband went to Qin's house to pay New Year's greetings. So while taking Qin Xiaoxiao to Xu's house to pay New Year's greetings today, the couple also went to Meng's house to pay their respects.

The four of them arrived at the county town, and agreed at a crossroads to meet at the West Gate at noon, and then separated with their respective New Year greetings.

Everyone in the Xu family is not allowed to eat meat during the filial piety period, so the New Year greetings prepared by Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang were very simple. In addition to a few boxes of vegetarian snacks from time-honored brands, it was just a pack of dried mushrooms.

This fungus is called chanterelle, and it is a relatively rare species in the mountains. It has a delicious taste and smooth texture, and is suitable for all ages. Almost no one can resist its delicious taste.

Last summer, the Qin family was lucky enough to pick up some. They couldn't bear to eat them all, so they dried them and kept them for winter as a dish. Later, Qin Xiaoxiao became a disciple, and she kept these dried mushrooms as a New Year's gift to the Xu family.

The family of three arrived at the Xu Mansion and were quickly ushered in by the concierge. After waiting for a while in the living room, Xu Ze and Mrs. Xu came to see the guests.

"Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, wish you a happy new year!" Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang stood up immediately and saluted the Xu family and his wife very respectfully.

"Sir, Madam, happy New Year!" Qin Xiaoxiao also quickly jumped down from the chair, stood beside Lin Qiuniang and saluted with a sullen face to say hello.

Needless to say, Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang were sincerely grateful to Xu Ze for taking in their precious daughter and teaching her carefully. Even though every time their daughter was beaten, they always twitched with pain and wished they had to let their daughter suffer this crime.

I don't have any grudge against Xu Ze.

Qin Xiaoxiao was worried about Xu Ze. Not seeing him for more than half a month added to the feeling of unfamiliarity. She didn't dare to be presumptuous for a while, worried that Xu Ze had a ruler hidden in his hand behind his back and could easily give it to him.

How many boards does she have?

Xu Ze nodded slightly at Qinshan Lin Qiuniang, his eyes fell on Qin Xiaoxiao on the far right, and asked unexpectedly: "Have you completed the homework assigned a year ago?"

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he was very happy and said confidently: "Sir, it's all done!"

A look of satisfaction flashed across Xu Ze's face, and he asked a few questions casually. It was not that he suspected the little girl of lying, he just wanted to see if she had done her homework well enough.

Qin Xiaoxiao had completed her homework a year ago. No matter how crazy she played every day, she would always spare half an hour to review what she had learned earlier. Therefore, the few questions Xu Ze asked could not stump her at all. Xu Ze almost

As soon as she asked the question, she gave the answer fluently.

Qinshan Lin Qiuniang was very nervous. They knew that Xu Ze was very strict and were afraid that their daughter would get slapped if she answered a question wrong. This was the New Year's Eve, and they really didn't want their daughter to suffer this penalty.

Mrs. Xu on the side saw it, covered her lips with a handkerchief and complained half-seriously: "It's true, sir. I smiled at him and asked him to take a test on his schoolwork!"

Lin Qiuniang suppressed her worries and said quickly: "Having such a strict gentleman like Mr. Xu is Xiaoxiao's blessing! With Mr. Xu's guidance, we can rest assured!"

This is true. No one in the entire Qin family regrets letting Qin Xiaoxiao become Xu Ze's disciple.

Mrs. Xu nodded secretly and said nothing more.

As the little girl answered the last question, Xu Ze's face became pretty (although he still didn't smile) and he said lightly: "It's acceptable."

Qin Shan didn't know that the word "fair" was already Xu Ze's high praise for his daughter. He thought he was dissatisfied with his daughter's performance, so he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Xu, Xiaoxiao, this child works very hard.

Holding the book in hand every day, I have never been lazy."

Lin Qiuniang did not want Xu Ze to think that her daughter had neglected her studies during the holidays, so she continued: "Yes, Mr. Xu, our family does not pamper our children. Xiaoxiao is indeed very hardworking. After writing the big characters you asked, she will also use branches to

It’s written silently on the ground.”

Xu Ze naturally knew that Qin Xiaoxiao had indeed worked hard, but he did not expect that she would work so hard. Finally, a less obvious smile appeared on his face: "Not bad!"

This was the first time Qin Xiaoxiao heard a "not bad" comment from him. She was so surprised that she almost jumped up with joy: "Thank you sir, it's all my good teaching!"

The little girl wanted to say that she had always been very good, but when she spoke, she turned into flattering Xu Ze, and by the way, she accepted the super high evaluation of "not bad".
