After they chatted and played for a while, Gao Xiaotao suddenly noticed several large jars placed aside.
"Hey, what are these?"
Shen Huaiqing also raised his little head from the bowl. He had already noticed it when he came back, but he didn't have time to ask.
"I bought this at the black market today. It's something you can drink by soaking it in water. You can try it later."
"By the way, I also bought some charcoal. In a few days, go to the mountain and pick up some dry firewood. You don't need to pick up too much."
Gao Xiaotao frowned unexpectedly, "Xiaoyu, don't take advantage of your youth and ignore your health. You worked so hard last night, you should have a good rest."
Feng Lingyu laughed dryly. She had had a good rest today. "It's okay. I'll make up for it after a good night's sleep tonight."
After that, she changed the subject and said, "The passion fruit lemon honey I brought back is delicious. Let's try it now!"
Feng Lingyu volunteered to take out three cups, "There is honey in these, remember to soak them in warm water. If you like sweeter drinks, you can add some honey yourself."
The scent of passion fruit and lemon was instantly released by the warm water, filling the entire room.
Gao Xiaotao took a deep breath and exclaimed, "What kind of fruit is this? It smells so good!"
She has always lived in the north, so it is normal that she has never seen southern fruits.
"I heard that it was brought back from the south. If you like it, you can buy it later." Feng Lingyu explained.
Shen Huaiqing held his large porcelain cup and drank from it in small sips. Judging from his satisfied expression, he must have liked it.
Thinking about the severe cold winter, Huaiqing would inevitably suffer from the cold at school. Feng Lingyu thought that he had to prepare a thermos cup for him.
When I have time I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if they have it for sale. If not, I can only make him an old-fashioned thermos cup.
The old-fashioned thermos is made of double-layered iron with charcoal in the hollow layer. The temperature of the charcoal fire can keep the water in the pot hot.
In order to extend the heat preservation time, the thermos is wrapped with two layers of thick cotton so that it will not be hot to hold and can also warm your hands.
"Huaiqing, take a small jar to school tomorrow and make some water to drink."
It’s winter now, so you must always pay attention to supplementing vitamins.
Speaking of this, Feng Lingyu remembered the incident of his clothes being stained.
If this matter is not handled properly, the good things Huaiqing brings to school may be destroyed by jealous people again.
"Huaiqing, how is your clothes being handled by Teacher Niu?"
"It was done by Teacher Niu's nephew. She has already compensated me for the money and tickets."
Usually Feng Lingyu would put some banknotes in the drawer in the living room for Chen Huaiqing to use on a daily basis.
As soon as he got the compensation, he put it back in the drawer.
Feng Lingyu frowned tightly, she didn't know that there was a teacher's nephew in Shen Huaiqing's class.
"Why did he ruin your clothes?" Feng Lingyu asked.
Compared with the teacher's nephew and an ordinary student, there is no doubt which side Niu Xinlan will stand on.
Feng Lingyu was unwilling to gamble on other people's consciences, especially when it involved his own children.
Shen Huaiqing pursed his lips, his face looking a little unhappy, "He is just jealous that I have nice clothes to wear. Teacher Niu has already asked him to apologize."
In fact, Shen Huaiqing was quite popular when he first came to the class, and his classmates were very curious about this new student.
But later, everyone found that Shen Huaiqing was not only good at studying, but also ate well and dressed well, and many children began to feel unbalanced.
In the final analysis, it was because Shen Huaiqing was too outstanding that they felt a sense of distance in their hearts.
To put it simply, there is a wall between the two.
With Shen Huaiqing's family background and childhood experiences, it was destined that he would not be able to live his life in an orderly manner like an ordinary child.
When those children found out that the books Shen Huaiqing read were completely incomprehensible to them, and that the questions he did looked like astronomical symbols, a sense of distance naturally arose.
And Shen Huaiqing also wanted to get along well with everyone at the beginning, but later he found that he needed to master too much knowledge and he really didn't have the energy and time to please these peers.
So Shen Huaiqing adapted to the life of studying alone.
In other words, the few children in Qingshan Village were relatively close to him for Feng Lingyu's sake.
But Shen Huaiqing's calm demeanor actually bothered many people.
They began to spread bad things about Shen Huaiqing in the school, saying that he was hypocritical, arrogant, etc.
Among them, the one who made the most noise was Niu Xinlan’s nephew Niu Guoqing.
However, Shen Huaiqing did not tell Feng Lingyu about these things.
"So...does Mr. Niu have any opinions about you?"
After all, it was Teacher Niu who paid the money herself, so it was hard to say whether she would put obstacles in the way of Shen Huaiqing.
Shen Huaiqing shook his head. He had a good impression of Niu Xinlan and thought she was a fair person.
"Teacher Niu still cares about me as before."
After thinking for a while, Shen Huaiqing added: “It’s Niu Guoqing… He really dislikes me because of the apology he made to me.”
"Since Mr. Niu has already paid the compensation, let's forget about it. But... you should be careful with Niu Guoqing. He is a narrow-minded person and will inevitably take revenge on you."
Feng Lingyu knew that this was the only way to handle the matter. After all, others had already paid compensation and apologized.
"Now I keep my valuables at home if I can. If I can't, I carry them with me and never let them out of my sight."
He also took some protective measures to guard against the villain Niu Guoqing.
Feng Lingyu nodded with satisfaction, as long as he had a plan in mind.
However, Huai Qing would arouse the jealousy of others because he ate and drank too well.
But Feng Lingyu didn't want the child to suffer because of other people's opinions, and was in a dilemma.
In this world, what is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth. Some things happen without reason.
It was only when Gao Xiaotao saw that Feng Lingyu remained silent and asked her what was wrong that she expressed her concerns.
Gao Xiaotao, who grew up in the market, has her own logic in doing things.
She clapped her hands and laughed heartily, "What am I talking about? It's so simple. Huaiqing only has one lunch at school. Just bring him a rice ball wrapped in black flour."
Black dough balls are the lunch for most students, so Shen Huaiqing wouldn't be offended.
It’s just that Shen Huaiqing’s dumplings are filled with meat and vegetables, so the nutrition is balanced.
"Then you can prepare a pot of carrot and bone soup for him. Just put the soup and carrots in it without the meat."
