"Grandma said she would send me to a private school to study with Fifth Brother and the others." Xiao Fuyuan said.
"Do you miss it?" A Zhen asked.
"I think, my mother and I already know a lot of words now." Xiao Fuyuan said.
"By the way, Brother Azhen, will you come to a private school to study in the future?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.
Ah Zhen has morning classes and evening classes, and there are famous teachers and scholars in charge, so he probably won't come to the private school to study with other children.
Ah Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, I will go to a private school with you."
Xiao Fuyuan's eyes lit up.
"I have asked Wu Xiaoying to prepare a big boat. We will go to the town to take the boat during the Lotus Festival in a few days." A Zhen said.
Xiao Fuyuan nodded, her heart already flying into the excitement of the Lotus Festival.
"Hey, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are back."
Xiao Fuyuan saw Bai Dazhuang and Xie Chuntao coming from the village entrance from a distance, and jumped up excitedly.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Xiao Fuyuan rushed over to greet his eldest brother and sister-in-law.
"Sister." Bai Dazhuang picked up Xiao Fuyuan.
"Sister-in-law." Xie Chuntao took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Xiao Fuyuan's face.
Bai Dazhuang carried a package on his shoulder, which contained hibiscus cake and crystal cake bought in the town. Xie Chuntao was carrying a basket. After they came back from town, they went directly to Xie Chuntao's mother's house to see the mountains. In the basket were fruits picked by Xie Chuntao's family.
"What are you doing at the entrance of the village?" Bai Dazhuang asked when he saw that no one in the village was getting off the ground, and they were all gathered at the entrance of the village chatting enthusiastically. His parents and grandmother were also among the chatters.
"Brother, sister-in-law, a private school is opening in the village." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile.
"Really? There is such a good thing." Xie Chuntao looked surprised, but then quickly became happy. With a private school in the village, the Bai family children did not have to travel back and forth from the town every day, and Erlang could also go to a private school.
Bai Dazhuang was not as optimistic as Xie Chuntao. He frowned slightly and said, "This is not an easy task. The village chief has been thinking about it for many years and still can't do it. How can it be done today?"
Xiao Fuyuan said clearly: "Brother, it's true this time. It doesn't cost money. A Zhen's family provides pens, ink, paper and inkstones. He said that it only takes one pound of millet per person to study."
"Really?" Bai Dazhuang and Xie Chuntao looked surprised.
"It's true." Xiao Fuyuan nodded vigorously.
Seeing Butler He, Wu Xiaoying and Xie Xiaolian discussing matters in the crowd from a distance, Bai Dazhuang and Xie Chuntao believed that they were really going to set up a private school at this time.
The Xia family is rich.
No one in the village feels it more intuitively than the Bai family, which is right across the street. Food occasionally comes out of the cracks in the door, and even the people in their village can't keep up with it.
But having money and being willing to do things for the village is another matter.
Bai Dazhuang's affection for the Xia family and A Zhen soared.
"Azhen is really capable at such a young age. He has only been in the village for a short time and he is already making plans to open a private school." Xie Chuntao praised him sincerely.
"I asked my second brother to be my wife."
Bai Dazhuang and Xie Chuntao thought it was a good thing for Bai Erzhuang to come back as a master.
"Grandma said that when the private school is ready, I will also study." Xiao Fuyuan told his elder brother and sister-in-law.
"My sister must read it," Bai Dazhuang said.
"I'll sew a floral schoolbag for my sister," Xie Chuntao said.
Bai Dazhuang and Xie Chuntao were not surprised at all that girls actually wanted to study. In their hearts, their sister was different from other girls. Even if some of the white-recruited girls don’t study, the younger sisters still have to study.
Bai Dazhuang came home with Xiao Fuyuan in his arms.
A Zhen also came in.
Erlang was sitting on the porch and saw his parents coming back, pushing a wheelchair to greet them.
"Erlang, how are your legs?" Xie Chuntao was still thinking about the thousand-year-old ginseng he gave Erlang to drink, wondering if it had any effect.
"Same as before." Erlang told the truth.
"Oh." Xie Chuntao was slightly disappointed.
"A Zhen, this is the crystal cake I brought for you." Xie Chuntao took out the crystal cake from the bag and handed it to A Zhen, and then took out the hibiscus cake and handed it to Xiao Fuyuan and Erlang.
Azhen took it, took a bite, smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xie Chuntao said with a smile: "Azhen, you're welcome, crystal cake is nothing. I heard that you set up a private school for the village. Even a child as young as you knows you have such a big heart. I should thank you. My family will grow up in the future." Lang doesn’t have to go to town every day to study.”
A Zhen smiled and said: "This is nothing."
"Can I go to a private school to study?" Erlang asked.
Erlang was very excited when he learned that a private school was going to be set up in the village.
He longed to go to school and sit in the classroom and study.
"Of course you can." A Zhen said.
Erlang stuffed hibiscus cake into his mouth and smiled happily.
Qiuniang walked out of the kitchen and brought mung bean soup to Bai Dazhuang and Xie Chuntao to cool down.
"Sister-in-law, I think it's going to rain. Dark clouds are coming from the mountain." Qiuniang put down the soup bowl and went to collect the clothes on the clothesline.
"Aunt Qiu, how can there be rain? It's sunny..."
As soon as Erlang finished speaking, he heard the rumble of thunder, and before everyone could react, the rain began to fall.
It's sun rain.
Bai Dazhuang carried Xiao Fuyuan into the house, Xie Chuntao pulled A Zhen behind, and Qiu Niang also entered the house anxiously holding her clothes.
Only Erlang was unfortunately forgotten by everyone in the panic.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a piece of hibiscus cake in his hand, looking at a loss in the heavy rain.
An old rooster was frightened by the sound of rain and was driven into the yard by a dog in panic.
Seeing the hibiscus cake in Erlang's hand, it flew towards Erlang with a clucking sound, and picked up the hibiscus cake with its sharp mouth.
Erlang subconsciously stuffed the hibiscus cake into his mouth and pushed the cock away with both hands.
The rooster was so driven that it started to peck Erlang's mouth. Erlang covered his face with his hands.
The rooster was unwilling to get the advantage and continued to peck his hand.
Erlang slapped the rooster on the head, pushed the wheelchair and tried to escape.
The rooster was completely irritated and kept pecking.
It was raining heavily and the ground was muddy. Erlang's wheelchair could not be pushed and he had to stop the chicken's attack.
There was just a crash, and the person and the wheelchair fell to the ground.
Xiao Fu, with his round ears, heard the movement outside and suddenly shouted: "Erlang is still outside."
After saying that, Da Da Da walked from the room to the corridor. Through the rain curtain, he saw that Erlang had fallen down, the wheelchair was thrown aside, and he rolled out of the wheelchair into the mud.
There is also an angry drowned rat beside him.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Xiao Fuyuan exclaimed.
Xie Chuntao and Bai Dazhuang heard the noise and thought, "Oh, why did they leave their son in the yard?"
The couple rushed out, and before they could reach Erlang, they were shocked by the next scene.
Erlang suddenly stood up unsteadily in order to avoid the rooster's attack.
Erlang’s legs!
He actually stood up!
Xiao Fuyuan was also shocked!
After Erlang stood up, the angry rooster roared at his head. Erlang tried to escape, but his legs could not support him and he fell to the mud with a thud.
Then he stood up again.
"Brother, sister-in-law. Hurry up and help Erlang over."
Xiao Fuyuan couldn't help shouting when he saw Bai Dazhuang and Xie Chuntao looking stunned in the heavy rain.
Qiuniang was the first to react. She rushed from the corridor into the rain and lifted Erlang up.
Bai Dazhuang and Xie Chuntao didn't react until Erlang was dragged into the house by Qiuniang.
"Have you seen his father? Your son's legs can stand up." Xie Chuntao murmured.
"Damn it, I can see clearly, you can stand up." Bai Dazhuang looked excited.
Little Fuyuan didn't want to talk to his elder brother and sister-in-law anymore. What was going on with these two people? Seeing his son standing up being pecked by a chicken in the heavy rain, he was so confused that he didn't care about anything.
"Erlang, I have a son." After Xie Chuntao came to his senses, he turned around and ran towards the house from the heavy rain, crying loudly.
Bai Dazhuang didn't feel any better. He ran into the house dripping wet, hugged Erlang and shouted, "Erlang, stand a little longer."
