Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 421 Laundry

"Are you also going to the lake to study? My brother also likes to study by the lake. He said it can help him adapt to the cold air in the morning so that he won't catch a cold during the exam."

Yuan Shan's words frightened Song Ying so much that he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, Yuan Qing came with the fish, and Yuan Shan said excitedly: "Speak of the devil, and he will appear. I'm talking about you. Sister Song Ying is just like you. She also likes to recite lessons by the lake."

Yuan Qing's eyelids jumped, and he asked in surprise: "Really?"

Song Ying nodded and also laughed, "The lakeside is quiet in the morning, so I can memorize the book better, haha."

Fortunately, the Yuan family doesn’t come to the city often. If they come a few more times, she feels that what they did this morning will definitely be exposed. Well, it’s getting more serious every year. Should she not go again?

Yuan Qing nodded seriously, "It is true that I can remember the lessons better if I recite them by the lake."

"Really?" Luo Yanxing came closer. She used to think that this was Song Ying's special hobby, but now after hearing Yuan Qing say this, she couldn't help but believe it a little. "How about I bring a book with you in the future? Maybe I can learn more about the teachings of the saints."

Yuan Qing: "..."

Why do I feel like I've shot myself in the foot?

"Ahem, grandma, I caught some fish. You can take them home to eat." Yuan Qing quickly changed the subject, hoping that Luo Yanxing could forget this idea.

Tao and Yuan Shan obviously knew that Yuan Qing would fish for food while reading. "What are you doing for us? You are taking an exam now and you need to replenish your body. Take it to your canteen and ask the cook to cook it for you."

"I eat it almost every day, so I don't mind these. You can take them back and eat them."

Luo Yanxing exclaimed: "Wow, Yuan Qing, you can study and fish at the same time! You really can do both!"

Song Ying felt nervous when she heard this, fearing that she might go further. Considering how her and Tangtang's appetites fluctuated in the morning, she knew that she might not be able to hide this from her.

It would be fine for her, but if Second Aunt also thought of it, then she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Tao remembered something important and said to Yuan Qing, "Go back and take out your dirty clothes and bed sheets. My sister and I have time today to wash them for you. I think the lakeside nearby is a good place to wash clothes."

In the past, when they went into the city, it was already close to noon. After buying some things and doing some work in the city, they had to rush back, and they didn't have enough time to wash clothes for their grandchildren.

There's a whole morning today, so it's definitely in time.

Yuan Qing quickly refused: "No, I can wash my clothes myself. You and your sister can go shopping in the morning and go back early in the afternoon."

"It was fine before, but now that your sister and I are here, how can we let a grown man like you wash clothes? Just focus on your studies. You still have to take a few exams later, so you can't slack off."

Song Ying and Luo Yanxing looked at each other without saying a word. They had been in the city for three years, and they either washed their clothes individually or together. They had almost forgotten that they had ever washed clothes for the whole family.

Tao's matter-of-fact tone reminded them of the old days. Although what Tao said made sense, for some reason, they felt uncomfortable listening to it, especially when they looked at Yuan Shan.

Although Mrs. Tao said that she and Yuan Shan were together, it was such a cold day and she was not in good health. How could she let her grandmother do the laundry? Yuan Shan would be scolded to death.

Therefore, most of the work was done by Yuan Shan, while Tao gave instructions from the side.

At home, I have to wash clothes for the whole family, and when I go to the city, I have to wash clothes for my brother who is studying in the academy. It makes people feel uncomfortable just by listening to it.

Yuan Shan didn't think it was a big deal and said, "Grandma is right. We can't help you with your studies. Leave the small matter of washing clothes to me. I will wash them for you cleanly."

Yuan Qing shook her head, "How can this be possible? You are getting older every year, how can you still wash my clothes for me?"

As he said this, he looked at Tao again, "Grandma, please be more careful at home and don't leave everyone's clothes to your sister to wash."

"What's the big deal? We are all family members, so what's wrong with washing clothes?" Mrs. Tao shook her head with amusement and urged, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, go back and get the clothes, go back to study early, and don't waste time.

Well, let Shanwa go with you to get it, so you don’t have to run back and forth and waste time.”

"Grandma," Yuan Qing was somewhat helpless. Knowing that she could not persuade Tao, she quickly changed her words, "No need, I don't have any dirty clothes to wash."

Tao didn't believe it, "Where is the clothes you wore yesterday?"

Scholars are particular about clothes and change them more frequently. When his grandson is at home, he also changes and washes his clothes every day.

"I just washed it when I was washing my face."

"How much time will this take up for you? You too, your sister and I were here, why did you wash anything yesterday?" Tao frowned, "What about the quilt cover and bed sheets?"

"I just asked the academy's servants to help wash it two days ago."

Tao had no choice but to give up, and then warned: "Don't do this in the future. You have to pay for hiring help. If it gets dirty, just change it and send someone home with a message. I will ask your sister to come to the city to wash it for you.

Now that Yan Xing and her friends have opened a shop here, it is convenient. You can tell them that when Song Ying goes to West Street, she will meet people from the village and take the message back."

Yuan Qing agreed, "Okay, okay, okay."

Then he was sent back by Tao to study.

Today was destined to be a busy day. As soon as Song Ying arrived at the clinic, he found that many scholars had come. Most of them were sick candidates who had taken the exam yesterday. Some of them could not get out of bed and could not come to the clinic.

The case will be announced the day after tomorrow. If the pattern and the deputy list are on the list, the family will have to continue the examination. Naturally, these families will rush to invite doctors. For a while, all the doctors in the city were busy like tops.

Doctor Ma saw two patients in the clinic in the morning, and then was asked to go out for a house call and never came back. Soon, Lin Wenxuan was also asked to leave, leaving only Song Ying to guard the clinic.

If there weren't many sick scholars coming to the clinic and needing doctors, I'm afraid she would also be asked to go out and see patients.

He was busy until the early afternoon, and finally had some free time. Song Ying just grabbed a cold pancake and took a couple of bites when there was a knock at the door, followed by someone asking, "Is Doctor Song here?"

Song Ying looked at the open door and couldn't help but complain in his heart, why are you knocking when the door is open? Just come in to see the doctor.

Although he was complaining in his heart, he responded with a good temper: "Yes, please come in."

A familiar-looking scholar came in and bowed to Song Ying, saying, "Thank you, Doctor Song, for your provocation yesterday. I didn't get nervous until the end of the exam. I wrote very smoothly without any hesitation."

Song Ying took a closer look and recognized him. "It's you. No need to thank me. I'm a doctor. It's my duty to cure diseases and save lives."
