Chapter 247 School Test
Su Tai's eyes welled up with tears. "He has always been a responsible and loyal person. I am afraid that he can only take care of others and not himself. Please tell him that everything is fine at home. I have even given birth to twins for him. Please make sure he returns safely and reunites with his family."
“Don’t worry, Madam Shen, I will definitely bring it there.” Liu Jianzhang patted his chest and promised.
Su Tai quickly presented the silver and said, "Sir, do you think this is enough?"
Liu Jianzhang opened the purse and was a little surprised, "It's too much! According to the rules, fifty taels are enough for Madam Shen's things. If it weren't for the rules, I wouldn't want to take your money."
Su Tai stubbornly pushed the silver over and said, "Most of this is for Sir Liu's hard work. It's not easy for you to make this trip. I can't let you work in vain. I will feel uneasy if I do that. Sir Liu, don't look down on me as a woman. I can still run the family business. It's not difficult to give some silver. Sir, don't be polite to me.
Besides, I don’t know if this thing can be sent to the military camp.”
Su Tai opened a small box.
Liu Jianzhang leaned over to take a closer look. "Is this... jade?"
Su Tai nodded, "It's jade. Our relatives brought it back from the ice field. They say jade can keep you safe. I just wanted to ask if I could give it to you. If you can, please help me take this box of things with me, Lord Liu."
Liu Jianzhang agreed readily.
Then Su Tai opened the things given to Su Chunlin and showed them to him.
Liu Jianzhang was particularly easy to talk to this time and accepted it all.
Su Tai gave some silver as usual.
After she left, Liu Jianzhang immediately locked the box and loaded it into the truck himself.
Seeing how careful he was, the chief of the escorting officers asked him a few more questions, "Did you give a lot of money?"
Liu Jianzhang smiled innocently and said, "Boss, that's Shen Baichang's wife. I dare not not pay attention to her. But she is really generous. This time she sent two boxes of things to Shen Baichang and Shen Baichang's father-in-law. In addition to the one hundred taels, she also gave me another twenty taels of silver as a reward for my hard work."
He obediently took out ten taels of silver and gave them to the big man.
The expression on the big man's face was a little more relaxed, "Since she is Chief Shen Bai's wife, you really have to pay more attention to her."
After saying that, he looked at the carriage behind.
Liu Jianzhang breathed a sigh of relief. Su Tai gave him an additional sixty taels, but he only said twenty taels. The remaining fifty taels could be saved secretly. For this money, he had to take care of Su Tai's affairs.
After Su Tai returned from the county government office, she first went to her mother's home and told Han and her brothers about the situation.
When they learned that Su Tai had found a reliable person, they felt completely relieved.
Before Su Tai left, Han stopped her and put a slaughtered sheep on the table for her. "I know you don't lack these things, and you can even eat them whenever you want, but this is what mother prepared for you and the children, so don't be polite to me."
Su Zhan and Su Ming nodded repeatedly, "We put a lot of effort into cleaning it up. I don't know what happened this year, even the well water froze over. It almost froze. If it really froze, it would be troublesome."
"The well water is frozen? Are you kidding? Isn't the well water always warm?" Su Tai was surprised.
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Su Ming personally took him to see, "Look, there's frost all over the well. The old people in the village said that it's not that the well water won't freeze, but it's not really cold enough. If it gets cold enough, the well water will freeze, but it shouldn't be too thick. It's easy for us, but it will be difficult to deal with your well water if it freezes. Without my brother-in-law, you'll have to deal with it.
If the ice can’t be broken, using water will become a problem.”
Su Tai patted Su Ming's head with relief, "Our Guokui needs water every day. Ergou and the others will find a way. You don't have to worry about it. But will this sudden drop in temperature affect the weather next year?"
Su Ming shook his head, his expression becoming more serious, "The elders in the village are also worried. They say misfortunes never come alone. If a war is hit by a natural disaster, I really don't know what to do.
Big sister, how much food have you saved? Is it enough to eat?"
Su Tai thought of the full storehouse of food at home, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. "Don't worry, we have everything. But there is one thing I have to tell you in advance. If it's too cold during the New Year, I won't be back on the second day of the New Year."
It’s scary to think about her going out with four kids alone.
Su Ming expressed his understanding, "Big sister, you don't have to come. We can just go over to see you."
After Su Tai returned, she continued to close the gate and live a quiet life.
The two children still went to study next door every day. After studying with Tang Yu for a few months, they became much more well-behaved than before.
Su Tai was grateful for Tang Yu's efforts, and even provided for his three meals a day. Every day she prepared the food and had Xiaoxi deliver it to him.
Xiaoxi knew that her cooking skills were not very good, so she did not rush to show off. Instead, she took the initiative to take care of the twins for Su Tai.
Ke Yunyun is in poor health, so she has to stay in a warm place even in the winter and will not run to the yard easily.
This makes it convenient for Su Tai to do some small actions.
So she found different ways to buy food from the Fire Spacetime. Today it was mutton hotpot, tomorrow it was beef hotpot, there were also fried chicken burgers, various fish hotpots, and occasionally she would make them the nutritious Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
It has completely spoiled the appetites of a group of people.
Ke Yunyun even found that she had gained weight and looked much healthier than before.
Tang Yu was also impressed by Su Tai's delicious food. He looked forward to mealtime every day. In order to eat delicious food, he paid more and more attention to the group of children.
The day before Chinese New Year.
Tang Yu organized a test for the children. "Tomorrow our school will be closed. We will continue studying after the 15th. Today the teacher will test everyone's homework. There will be rewards for good performance."
All the children's eyes lit up.
They all nodded.
The test content is actually dictation. Tang Yu will test everyone on the characters he has taught this year.
After Su Tai heard this, she called Shen Ergou and Shen Tian in for dictation, and she also sat down seriously.
A group of little idiots turned their heads to look at her.
Su Tai said calmly without blushing, "Aunt and Yue Zhang are studying together and will take the exam with everyone today. If you do better than me, I will give each of you a New Year's gift. If you do not do as well as me, I will have a good talk with your parents later."
The children were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and some were frantically flipping through books to catch up.
Tang Yu found it funny but didn't say anything.
They have learned 600 characters this year and have recognized all the commonly used characters. They will start learning other characters next year.
Six hundred words are not a small number, and it takes a whole day to finish dictating them.
Xu went to talk to Su Tai and unexpectedly discovered that Su Tai was studying with the other children. She found it interesting and when she learned that Tang Yu was going to give the children a test, she immediately spread the news. Many villagers came to watch the fun, while others quietly waited for the results, wanting to see what the children had learned after a year of study.
