Chapter 240: Visit

Generally, only young ladies from wealthy families, officials or merchants would go to girls' schools.

Our family is still a farmer at present.

It is probably difficult for the general public to accept that a young lady from a farming family should go to a girls' school.

Although she has this ability, exposing this ability too early may not be a good thing.

The family talked for a while, calmed down their excitement, and went to bed after washing up.

Lying on the couch, everyone tossed and turned, quite excited.

Xia Youtian and Jiang first discussed Xia Daohua's ideological problems, and then the topic inevitably shifted to making money.

Xia Youtian said, "Does the store really need small baskets? Don't tell me Daohua is kidding me... On the surface, they say the store will buy them, but secretly they pay for them out of their own pockets!"

Jiang said:

"Probably not. I've been to her store before.

Some flowers, candies, and fruits were all put in small baskets and placed here and there, which looked very pretty.

I guess these items are all useful.”

Xia Youtian said, "I've never seen embroidery sold in that shop before."

Jiang smiled: "So you are waiting for me here? I told you that you have been to that store before, so how could you not know where these small baskets are needed?"

Xia Youtian said:

"It's all the child's love. Don't spoil her mood.

Even if she really wants to support you, you should keep quiet and don't show any sign of it. It won't look good.

We just do what she says."

Jiang said:

"Don't worry. How could I be so ungrateful? My child is happy to show his filial piety, so why would I push it away?

If you really don't want to worry about her, just save the money for her.

When she gets married, put this money in her dowry as a dowry, or buy her some good wood."

Xia Youtian and Jiang not only recalled the scene of Xia Daohua getting married, but also thought of Lihua and Wulang's marriage. Although children from farmers' families often get married late, Lihua and Wulang should get married at this age.

The three sisters, Lihua, Daohua and Linghua, were huddled together in the same bed, playing and whispering to each other. The most active one was Linghua.

Lihua and Daohua have both grown up and are no longer able to play and make noise like they did when they were little.

Linghua, however, was a real child. Now that she was with her two favorite sisters, she was as excited as a Husky that had eaten chocolate. How could Lihua's whispered scoldings control her?

The quacking duck Linghua said she wanted to help Xia Daohua run the store, then go to the mountain to pick mushrooms, then learn how to weave baskets from her father, then learn how to make lace and embroidery from her mother...

It's endless, but there's actually no clue.

But the two sisters just looked at her and laughed, asking her to be quiet. Since she didn't listen, the two sisters stopped talking.

It was not until later, when Lihua wanted to be quiet and talkative, that Xia Daohua took out a lollipop from her "sleeve" and stuffed it into Linghua's hand.

Linghua was calmed down immediately.

Linghua had to close her mouth because she was holding the lollipop. As a result, she fell asleep in less than a minute.

Lihua and Xia Daohua discussed the matter seriously - she felt that going to a girls' school or returning to the slum to learn how to read and use an abacus from Old Man Xia was not attractive at all.

She wanted to do something to help Xia Daohua.

If you can make money at the same time, even better.

Xia Daohua also lost her sleepiness and began to help Lihua think of a way out.

Goro, who lived only a wall away from his sisters, was already asleep.

He had tossed and turned for a long time before that.

Xia Daohua’s words today gave him a great shock.

Telling him to study hard was only natural and not surprising to him.

But Xia Daohua actually put her health before her studies and emphasized this to him. He was indeed a little surprised. It seemed that in this sister's heart, her health was more important than her academic achievements!

Goro fell asleep with a happy smile.

The next morning, the Xia family members were all a little sleep-deprived, but they still didn't get up late.

This is the power of habit.

People who are used to getting up early will wake up naturally at the usual time, even if they have not gotten enough sleep.

The four branches of the Xia family were all very hardworking people, so they all stood up.

Jiang quickly prepared breakfast, and the family ate some porridge with steamed corn bread, pickles, and the "Rice Flower Fragrance" braised food and steamed dumplings provided by Xia Daohua, and they were very satisfied.

Wulang went to school. Although the matter with Caique had been resolved, Xia Daohua was still worried, so she simply sent Wulang back again and brought him a specially prepared lunch box.

Goro and his friends were going to have lunch at the Enlightenment Academy.

The lunch box that Xia Daohua brought for Wulang contained some rice balls smuggled from the Space Supermarket and some cut fruits. Each had its own unique flavor and was very convenient to use as a snack.

Wu Lang narrowed his eyes in smile and bowed earnestly to Xia Daohua to say goodbye.

Xia Daohua turned half of her body to the side to refuse the greeting. Instead, she squatted down and bowed to Wulang.

Then she told him to hurry up: "Don't dawdle, the teacher will start the class soon."

Wu Lang shook his head helplessly, took his lunch box, and entered the Enlightenment School with a smile on his face.

Xia Daohua turned around and went to the store. Then she took the four-color gifts prepared yesterday from the store and went to County Magistrate Xie's house to ask to see Xie Fanglan.

Xie Fanglan was a little overwhelmed.

Although she released all her father's concubines and many slaves at once, she still managed to recover some of her losses.

But compared with the losses suffered by the Xie family, this little bit of money is like salt without saltiness or vinegar without sourness. How can it be enough?

Those friends and relatives who helped us in times of need and sent us money and gifts must be repaid.

Although they are helping their family, these things must be returned during festivals to keep the relationship going.

Otherwise, who would want to live with a bottomless pit that only brings in money but never gives out?

Therefore, she really didn't dare to use too much of these things and money unless it was an emergency.

When Xie Fanglan heard the maid come to report that Xia Daohua wanted to see her, her first thought was that this damn girl was here to laugh at her!

Then she shook her head again, denying it.

I have always been very friendly to Xia Daohua.

Since she is not Zhuge Liang, it is impossible for her to guess her true intentions.

This was because Caique was still unconscious, and Xie Fanglan was so busy with housework that she was overwhelmed and forgot about trying to get information from Caique.

Hui'er, the head maid who had some friendship with Caique, had secretly had Caique moved to the back room where the servants were recuperating.

Xie Fanglan nodded and said to the maid: "Let her in!"

Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
