Chapter 455 One-on-One

"Thank you, Master Xiao Su!" The three sisters who had finished their meal did not expect that Master Xiao Su would come back with a lot of clothes and shoes.

It was the first time for Pan Di and Lai Di to see so many nice clothes, all made of fine gauze, in tender pink colors, beautiful styles, and exquisite shoes.

His big eyes sparkled as he licked the food carefully.

"Take them. They are Xiaotao and Atang's old clothes. I don't know if they fit you. Just wear them for now. I'll make you two new sets of clothes later!" Su Ying said gently.

"Thank you, Lord Xiao Su!" Cen Hongying's eyes were red.

"What are you thanking me for? They're just old clothes that can't be worn anymore! Pan Di and Lai Di will start the village school tomorrow and study with Xiao Tao, Atang and the others."

Su Ying explained the arrangements for Pan Di and Lai Di, "There is also accommodation at the village school. Pan Di and Lai Di can stay there tomorrow!"

"Yes, sir!" Cen Hongying quickly agreed and said to her two sisters, "Hurry up and thank Master Xiao Su!"

"Thank you, Master Xiao Su!" the two girls said happily.

"Sir!" Cen Hongying hesitated to speak.

"What is it?"

"Can our household registration be registered in Huanggou Village?" Cen Hongying mustered up the courage.

"Okay, but there is no extra cultivated land here, and we have to rely on ourselves to open up the wasteland. Can you do it?" Su Ying asked.

"We can first learn beekeeping, silk reeling and weaving. When we make money, we can hire people to help us reclaim wasteland. Then we can have land next year." Cen Hongying thought for a while and said.

"Well, that's good, this is a good idea!" Su Ying admired the girl very much.

She is bold and daring, but careful and not reckless, and has a lot of brains. With time, she will be a very good manager.

"Then, sir, can you help me with another favor?" Cen Hongying's face turned slightly red as she repeatedly troubled Sir Su.

"What help?" Su Ying asked.

"Can you help my second and third sisters change their names, settle down in Huanggou Village, and start a new life with new names?" Cen Hongying's eyes were full of longing.

Without the burden of her foolish parents, she and her two younger sisters will surely live a good life.

Study and learn skills, and in the future you will be able to make a living anywhere with your skills.

In this Huanggou village, one can live a wealthy life by raising bees, silkworms and weaving. As for getting married, he never even thought about it.

"Well, let's call the second sister Cen Hongmian and the third sister Cen Hongjuan, how about that?"

"Thank you, sir!" Cen Hongying hurriedly pulled her second and third sisters to thank Suying.

"Sister!" When Su Ying returned home, Atang had already taken out the scarlet brocade and was waiting for her.

Xiao Tao felt distressed but was reluctant to dissuade Atang. When she saw her sister coming, joy flashed in her eyes. She hoped that her sister could persuade Atang to stop.

"Let's go!" Su Ying smiled, holding one of her sisters' hands.

"Mother, please cut this piece of brocade! Atang thought for a long time." Su Ying handed it to her mother.

"Hiss, you kid!" Mrs. Du felt pain in her heart. This was not an ordinary thing in Chang'an City.

Besides, the two girls are growing taller. If they wear it this year, they won’t be able to wear it next year. What a waste!

"Let's cut it down! Atang and Xiaotao are small, so they can just make two pieces. If they grow taller, they won't be enough." Su Ying said.

Children grow up, and their clothes cannot always be tattered. They should be dressed and used as needed.

Material possessions are not brought into this world and cannot be taken away from this world.

"You!" Mrs. Du poked her eldest daughter's head and didn't take the money seriously.

"Mom is the best!" Su Ying drooled and hugged her mother coquettishly.

Mrs. Du had no temper, so what else could she do? What in this family wasn't created by the eldest daughter? What was a piece of brocade?

Atang stayed beside Mrs. Du, watching her mother cutting and sewing without blinking, and he was very interested.

"Go to sleep! Sew yours first!" Mrs. Du said gently.

This child, who has no father or mother, not only likes food, but also has a special liking for the bright red color.

He has helped the Su family a lot, and the Su family owes this child.

Sometimes I wonder how this kid got to the wolf den. It's deep in the mountains, and no one dares to go in alone.

If the children were taken away by wolves, they should be from nearby villages, but I have never heard of any child being taken away by a wolf.

What a strange child.

"Yeah!" Atang then took Xiaotao's hand and went back to the house to sleep. Xiaotao was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting each other.

The next day to class, Su Ying brought two extremely thin girls.

Let me introduce to you, these are the new villagers from Huanggou Village, Cen Hongmian and Cen Hongjuan, who are sitting with Xiaotao and Atang.

Atang and Xiaotao are reluctant to separate. The two sisters eat, live, sleep and sit at the same table together, and have long been accustomed to being together.

"You two will be responsible for taking care of one child each and help them learn to read and count as quickly as possible!" Su Ying said seriously.

"Okay!" The two sisters looked at each other.

They sat separately, Cen Hongmian and Xiaotao at one table, and Cen Hongjuan and Atang at another.

Atang looked at Cen Hongjuan, who was thinner than himself, and couldn't help but pinch Cen Hongjuan's arm with his hand.

"Hiss!" Cen Hongjuan felt pain.

"I, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Atang thought he didn't control the strength well and hit too hard.

"It's none of your business!" Cen Hongjuan said softly, "It was the housekeeper who beat him."

The two children were raised in that family. Everyone knew that they were short-lived and no one would treat them well. As long as they didn't starve to death, they still had to do a lot of work.

They were beaten from time to time, and the servants tortured each other without any mercy.

In addition to not moving the face, any invisible parts were pinched or twisted, and crying was not allowed.

The courses that Xiaotao and Atang learn in the village school are even better than those of the girls in the official school. Moreover, the courses in the village school have almost stopped since Su Boyan and others left.

Su Ying had too much to do and didn't have much time to talk in detail, so she spoke little, focusing mainly on practicality and professionalism.

Pick out any one of the children from the village school, like Niu Xiaobao and the children from Jinfengzhai, and they can surpass the students from the provincial official school in professional skills.

Xiaotao and Atang acted like one-on-one little teachers, teaching Cen Hongmian and Cen Hongjuan how to read and count.

The first words the two children learned were their own names, which was a common practice in the first class of the Huanggou Village school.

When you can write your own name, it feels very strange. You will deeply realize that you are a person, a person with thoughts and self-awareness.

He wrote his name crookedly on the sand. The two sisters looked at him in disbelief. He could write!

Cen Hongying came over during lunch, worried that her sisters might not be used to it.

I saw Niu Xiaobao, Xiaotao, Atang and their two younger sisters playing and eating together.

Lunch consisted of stewed beans with rice, homemade tofu, stir-fried meat with lettuce, and pickled cabbage and vermicelli soup. Each person had a large bowl, and they could get more if it wasn't enough.

Cen Hongying was relieved. The two younger sisters were busy eating rice with their big heads buried in the bowls. They didn't notice their sister coming.

Dry rice with oil, meat, vermicelli and tofu. This is what the masters of wealthy families eat.

The two sisters ate a big bowl of rice, and their skinny stomachs bulged out. It felt so good to be full!

"Let's go and see the sugarcane!" Xiaotao, Atang, Niu Xiaobao and a group of children did not want to take a nap.

"Yeah!" Cen Hongmian and Cen Hongjuan followed, and after half a day, the children became familiar with it.

"Wow, so many sugarcanes!" the two sisters exclaimed.

The sugarcane grew to more than one meter tall, neatly arranged in a large field, and white frost began to appear on the purple-red skin.

"Alas, it's a pity that it hadn't grown well when I left, so I couldn't eat it!" Xiao Tao lamented.
