Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 115 Pick-up

Tao felt relieved and roughly guessed what was going on. He was suddenly speechless.

The owner of the pen shop is very generous to his acquaintances and the price he offers is basically the lowest price.

Since the customer was brought by Qingwa, the price he offered must be a preferential price for acquaintances. In this case, Li still wanted to bargain, which would make the boss sell at a loss.

She felt a little regretful that she should not have let Qingwa go with Li. By doing this, Li was damaging their family's relationships. If the boss was too angry, he might not give them preferential prices in the future.

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing else to do. I can only say some nice words next time I go, hoping to save some things.

Early the next morning, Uncle Song took Song Yuan and six gifts to Wutong Village Community School to become disciples.

He came back in less than half an hour, but Song Yuan was nowhere to be seen. Song Ying was a little surprised, "Uncle, where is my younger brother?"

Li also looked over, waiting for Uncle Song's answer.

Uncle Song smiled and said, "That kid was eager to study after becoming a disciple. Mr. Wang was very happy and took him to class to study on the spot."

Song Ying: “…”

I'm fooling around, bah, is my persuasion that strong enough?

"It seems that our Yuanwa is really good at studying." Li was extremely pleased and turned to Song Ying, "Come back early at noon, and pick up your little brother after you cook."

Although it was quite troublesome to make four trips back and forth a day, Song Ying readily agreed when he thought that he could get by knowing how to read.

Song Tian, who was standing by, was very jealous: "Tsk, he's just studying, but you're treating him like an ancestor, and the whole family is busy with it. I was also this age when I started school, and I didn't see you guys picking me up."

Li was in a good mood today and teased, "You have to blame your mother for giving birth to you so early. Your sister was only seven years old at the time and had to take care of you, her younger brother. How could she have the time to pick you up?"

"If she can't do it, then you and mom can't do it either?" Song Tian pouted, "Grandma, you are obviously partial."

Li said angrily: "If your child is good at studying, I will hire a sedan chair to pick him up every day, and I will be willing to do that. Do you agree?

Just say it, I'll go to the city right now to buy tuition and send your child to school tomorrow!"

Song Tian stopped talking. He got a headache whenever he saw books. He had finally gotten rid of studying, so how could he possibly go to school again? It would be no different from being locked up in a cowshed.

Today is the first day. Song Ying estimated the time and went home early to cook. After boiling the water, she cooked it for a while. Then she added some firewood into the stove and went out to pick up Song Yuan.

When passing by Dongsheng Mountain, she saw a bunch of ripe prickly ash, so she picked some and wrapped them in leaves.

When she arrived, the community school had already finished class and many students had left. Seeing her, Song Yuan pouted and said, "Sister, why are you here just now? I've been waiting for a long time."

"Here, I'm picking some thorns for you."

Song Yuan smiled brightly and happily took the prickly ash and started eating it.

"How was your study today?" Song Ying asked.

Song Yuan stuffed a handful of thorns into his mouth and said incoherently: "The teacher taught me the etiquette of dressing and speaking, but he didn't teach me how to read."

What he was going to learn was "What Children Should Know", Song Ying knew it, and thinking about the teaching plan of the community school, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"What Children Should Know" and "Elementary School" mainly teach daily behavioral etiquette and the principles of reading, and teach how to recognize characters, with the main focus on the three hundred and thousand characters.

I don’t know how long it would take people in the Song and Yuan dynasties to finish learning "Tongmeng Xuzhi" and "Xiaoxue".

While she was thinking, she suddenly heard Yuan Qing's voice, "Come and pick up your brother."

Song Ying came back to his senses and saw Yuan Qing coming out of the classroom. He was a little surprised: "Aren't you going to the new college? Why are you here at the community school?"

"The academy won't start classes until half a month later. Come to the community school to study. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask the teacher for help."

"Is that so?" Song Ying thought for a while and decided to pick out all the unfamiliar words in "Hundred Medicinal Herbs Collection" and ask Yuan Qing to teach him.

If we really have to wait until the Song and Yuan dynasties, I don’t know how long that will take.

However, now I have to pick up Song Yuan and drop him off every day. How can I get rid of him?

On the mountain road not far away, several girls from Wutong Village came down the mountain carrying grass. From a distance, they saw Yuan Qing talking to a girl.

When they got a little closer, the girl in the lead asked, "That's Song Daya from the next village, right? What is she doing in our village? Why does Yuan Qing seem to be very familiar with her?"

A girl with a round face at the back stretched her neck to take a look and nodded, "It's Song Daya. She must be here to pick up her little cousin. This morning, her second uncle brought her cousin to the community school to become a disciple. I followed and watched for a while."

"Didn't Yuan Shan say that they met girls from the neighboring village during the Lantern Festival? I heard that Yuan Qing even helped them guess riddles, and everyone won a beautiful lantern." Another girl spoke up, with a hint of jealousy in her tone.

On the Lantern Festival, many of them invited Yuan Shan to go into the city to play, but Yuan Shan refused them all.

Unexpectedly, the girls in Xinghua Village benefited in the end.

The girls' expressions became very subtle.

At this moment, a crisp, unfamiliar voice suddenly popped up: "Was Song Ying called Song Daya before?"

The girls were startled and turned around, only to find that He Tianyu had been standing next to them for some reason.

"Miss He, why are you here?"

The girl in the lead asked stutteringly, then realized that it wasn't her who was talking to Yuan Qing, so why was she so nervous?

The girl rolled her eyes and replied with a smile, "Yes, I heard that she suddenly named herself Song Ying some time ago, and also gave names to several other girls in her village. They were taken from the riddles that Yuan Qing gave them to guess."

She emphasized the word "Yuan Qing" and paused deliberately.

He Tianyu looked at the three people talking not far away, and saw Song Ying smiling and saying something to Yuan Qing. Then her little cousin handed the prickly ash in his hand to Yuan Qing, and Yuan Qing smiled and took a string and started to eat.

Her expression became complicated, and she murmured softly, "It turns out that they have known each other for a long time."

Her tone was very soft and her voice was very low, like a dream talk, so soft that the girls in Wutong Village could not hear it clearly.

"What did you say?" asked the leading girl.

He Tianyu glanced at her and said coldly, "What does it have to do with you?"

Then she turned and left.

The girls were stunned, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

The girl in the lead said, "What happened to her today? She used to treat Yuan Qing like the apple of her eye, and we couldn't even say a few words to Yuan Qing."

The round-faced girl shrugged: "I don't know, it seems like she hasn't talked to Yuan Qing for a while. Well, it seems like she hasn't played with Yuan Shan?"

"What did the Yuan siblings do to offend her?" another girl guessed.

"How would I know about the young lady's affairs..."
