"Don't leave!" Lu Hong grabbed Gao Yi, who was about to walk away: "Even though I'm eager to get the news, it's not an emergency. Since you're here, let's eat and drink together. Our meeting here signifies a deep bond; we must take some time to gather properly."
Near dusk, Lu Hong brought Wang Wang back from Mr. Xu's small courtyard.
"How did it feel learning from Teacher Xu today?"
Wang Wang nodded: "Teacher Xu taught very well."
"And how did Wang Wang learn?" Lu Hong asked with a smile.
"Wang Wang surely studied diligently. If you don't believe me, you can test me, brother."
"Alright." Lu Hong nodded: "Then tell me what you learned today, Wang Wang, and I'll test you."
"Alright." Wang Wang smiled: "Today I learned a poem and abacus calculations."
"So, Wang Wang, recite the poem for me first."
