Xiao Ming had already inquired about the living standards of the two gentlemen in the town, including monthly money and food, essential clothes for all seasons, and gifts during the New Year.
It was the first time that Xiao Han and Xiao Yu came to visit, and the meeting gift was indispensable. Xiao Ming chose an ancient inkstone, firstly to express his gratitude, and secondly, to show respect for Mr. Wu. The bookstore was simple and there was really no choice. Something better. Finally, I bought special schoolbags for Xiao Han and Xiao Han, and added some rice paper.
Visiting Chunyu Satin Shop again, the proprietress was extremely happy when she saw it was Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming could buy clothes worth nearly half a pound of money by herself at a young age, so she had a particularly deep memory of her.
"Girl, I'm here to buy clothes again this time. The store has a new batch of ready-made clothes. Are they the popular styles in Beijing this year?" the landlady greeted enthusiastically.
"No, boss lady, we are here to buy men's clothes this time, for my wife. Please introduce us to see if there are any that are suitable." Xiao Ming said, briefly describing Mr. Wu's figure.
"Sending the wife, okay, come on, come over here." The landlady became even more enthusiastic when she heard this. There were only two wives in the town, and she knew exactly what they were wearing. The four-season clothes given by students in town are all made of silk and satin, and the price is incomparable to ordinary cotton clothes.
Finally, on the advice of the landlady, I bought two pairs of satin clothes. It actually cost five taels of silver, but it was worth it for my younger brother and nephew.
In the evening, Xiao Ming checked the things he would use tomorrow, including rice, grains and meat noodles, two sets of clothes, a basket of fruits, and three bags of chrysanthemum tea, but he always felt that something was missing.
"Sister, you have watched it several times." Xiao Han felt that her sister was more nervous than herself.
"Is there any?" Xiao Ming asked if she was too nervous.
"Auntie, you have read it three times." Xiao Yu, the little bun, told the truth with his eyes wide open.
"Haha, maybe." She was really nervous that her younger brother and Yu'er could meet a famous teacher.
"Sister, we will all go out in the future, and you will be the only one in the house. It is so hard to work in the fields. You leave all the work for me to do at home. Don't be tired." Xiao Han felt sorry for her sister and did not want her to Tired.
"I know, don't worry, I won't tire myself out." Xiao Ming said. The vegetables haven't grown in the ground yet, and she doesn't plan to grow food. There is basically no work left, so she just keeps the medicinal materials in the space. Transplant it out.
She also plans to visit the mountains and dig out some medicinal materials that are not available in the space to plant, but she will not tell her brother about this, otherwise he will worry again.
"Auntie, can I take Maomao to study?" Xiao Yu touched Maomao's head with a look of reluctance. He would go to town to study in the future, and once he went there he wouldn't see Maomao all day.
Looking at Maomao, who was as big as a little lion, Xiao Ming didn't dare to let it go to the town, so she had to say: "You all left, leaving aunt alone. How about leaving Maomao to accompany aunt? Besides, you can come back at night You can see Maomao now.”
Xiao Yu thought about it and felt that what his aunt said made sense. Although he was reluctant to give up, he finally agreed, "Then Maomao will stay with aunt and protect her. I can see it when I come back at night."
He lowered his head again and said to Maomao: "Maomao, from now on I will go to school every day, and you can stay at home with your aunt, okay? You have to protect your aunt, and I will bring you delicious food."
The words made Xiao Ming and her brother laugh. Xiao Ming said sadly: "When you go to study, you only think about Maomao and not your aunt. You don't even bring delicious food to your aunt. Don't you like it?" An aunt."
"No, aunt, Yu'er likes you the most." Xiao Yu immediately threw himself into Xiao Ming's arms, pouting dissatisfiedly.
"Haha, is your aunt joking for you?" Xiao Han laughed, as if remembering something, and said to Xiao Ming: "By the way, sister, Mr. Wu seems to like drinking tea. I saw him keeping books in his study today. There are a lot of tea leaves, why don’t we give you some more chrysanthemum tea.”
When Xiao Ming heard this, he suddenly realized, yes, I always felt that something was wrong. It turned out that chrysanthemum tea was given as a meeting gift and at the moving banquet. How could I still give chrysanthemums after only a few days? Mr. Wu is a scholar and likes to drink tea, so he can give him other teas instead.
"It's okay to give tea, but you can't give chrysanthemum tea anymore. There is still a bag of good tea in my room, which was given by the patient. I will get it and give it to Mr. Wu." Xiao Ming said and went back to the room to get the tea.
The patient who brought the tea was a modern person. A few years ago, she cured a tea merchant who had been suffering from a hidden disease for many years. The tea merchant was so happy that he specially gave Xiao Ming his treasured Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao.
Xiao Ming didn't like to drink these, so she kept them in the space. Fortunately, the space had a preservation effect. It looked like it was put in, but after a few years, there was no change when it was taken out.
Xiao Ming took out the tea leaves, repackaged them, put them together with the inkstone, and told Xiao Han to give it to Mr. Wu tomorrow.
The three of them got up early the next morning. After breakfast, Xiao Han and Xiao Yu watered the vegetable field, dressed up and waited for Uncle Liu's bullock cart.
Because there is no carriage at home, Xiao Ming asked Uncle Liu to take Xiao Han and Xiao Han to study in the town every day for fifty cents a day, so that she would not have to ask Guangji Hall's carriage to pick them up every Friday when she went to town for medical treatment.
Uncle Liu was very satisfied with the salary of fifty cents per day. He only had to send people off in the morning and pick them up at night. It would not delay the day's work. It was easy and convenient, so he wholeheartedly agreed.
There was still a quarter of an hour before the appointed time. Xiao Ming straightened Xiao Yu's clothes and said to the two of them: "Once a teacher, always a father. In addition to learning knowledge, you must also learn to respect the teacher and respect Mr. Wu. You know ?"
"Well, we know that we will study hard and respect Mr. Wu." Xiao Han promised. Xiao Yu also nodded.
"And Yu'er, you can't be playful anymore. You must study hard and bring back the knowledge you have learned to teach your aunt, okay." Xiao Ming was worried that Xiao Yu was young and could not persist seriously, so she specially encouraged him.
If he can teach aunt, then he is like a gentleman. Xiao Yu nodded vigorously after hearing this, "Okay, aunt, I will study seriously and come back to teach aunt."
"Well, aunt remember, our Yu'er is really a good boy." Xiao Ming couldn't help but kiss Xiao Yu's forehead. "You can't run around when you get to the town. You must follow my uncle, you know?" He then said to Xiao Han beside him: "Little brother, Yu'er has never been to the town. After leaving Mr. Wu's house, you must Keep an eye on him."
"I know, sister, don't worry."
Uncle Liu drove the bullock cart slowly. Uncle Liu shouted happily: "Brother Han, Brother Yu, get in the car, let's set off."
"Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Liu." Xiao Ming helped Xiao Yu get on the bullock cart.
"No trouble. Brother Han and Brother Yu are promising. They can go to the town to study. They will come back as champions in the future. I will tell people that my bullock cart has pulled the champion, so why don't I Famous." Uncle Liu praised, "A child without a father has already become a family. The three children of the Xiao family are promising. Not only do they live in a big house, but they can also go to the town to study."
"Thank you for your good words." Xiao Ming just smiled at Uncle Liu's praise, and then said to Xiao Han and Xiao Yu: "Study hard and make progress every day."
