Not to mention Xiao Lanlan's yearning for it, even Jiang Sui wanted to come to this girls' school to study, cultivate his personal sentiments, and improve his character.
But unfortunately, Xiaoji's business still cannot do without her. After making a profit, she can consider hiring someone, and then take time to study.
Mrs. Qi took them around the girls' school and then invited them to take a free flower arrangement class from her.
There were originally eight people in her flower arrangement class, and with the two of them, there were ten people in total, so two small tables were brought in for them to use.
On the table were the flowers, grasses, and vases that would be used today. Everyone was free to work as they pleased. After they were finished, Mrs. Qi would check them and provide one-on-one guidance and corrections.
Xiao Lanlan had never come into contact with these flowers and plants before, and she couldn't even name them.
However, Jiang Sui came from modern times and has some research on color matching. Although he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run.
In modern times, flowers are used to express love and basic courtesy, and can also be used in daily communication. She has seen many of them and can follow their example.
She prefers warm colors, so she chose warm-colored flowers and plants.
The bottle is quite delicate, a white-gray porcelain bottle, so there can’t be too many elements. The simpler the better, and it will be more beautiful if you add some extensions.
Although Xiao Lanlan didn't understand, she did have her own aesthetic sense. If she didn't understand, she would observe others first. So the final product was actually quite standard, while Jiang Sui's made Mrs. Qi's eyes light up.
The boy is teachable and has great talent.
Xiao Lanlan is also good. She has never attended classes, but she can do it so well. It's very good.
She nodded with satisfaction.
However, in order to take care of the feelings of other students, she did not deliberately praise anyone or belittle anyone.
She made appropriate adjustments for them one by one. Afterwards, if she felt that the situation really didn't work, she would talk to them individually and try her best to preserve their dignity and face.
After this class, Xiao Lanlan had a very good experience.
Mrs. Qi asked them if they wanted to go to the girls' school together. Jiang Sui said that she might have to go a few months later because she was busy with the family business, but Lanlan could go to the girls' school immediately.
The annual tuition fee was thirty taels, but it did not include food and accommodation, and all the materials needed for class had to be provided by the female students.
If the family is poor, they can choose to pay once every six months, which is fifteen taels. This greatly reduces the pressure on female students to improve and change.
Moreover, the college has three days of study and two days of rest, with four classes a day, and each class is different.
All in all, there are now nearly two hundred female students in the girls' school.
In the eyes of most people, it is best for women to stay at home and not go out of the house. Many families do not want their daughters to show up in public.
Therefore, most of the female students in girls' schools come from well-off families, with only a small number coming from well-off families. Regardless of their family background, the key point is that you should not discriminate against female classmates from poor families.
Thirty taels of silver is not a problem for the Xiao family today and they can definitely afford it.
Therefore, they and Mrs. Qi said that they could start school immediately.
However, you should go home and inform your family first so that they can make some corresponding adjustments in personnel.
…
On the other hand, at Xiaoji's side, Xiao Yi was waiting at the back door of the store early in the morning, waiting for the old farmer to deliver the fresh vegetables to be used today.
A few slices of fresh vegetables are blanched in every bowl of noodles to help relieve the greasiness, as the demand for vegetables is quite high.
However, the people who came to deliver the vegetables today were not the old farmer, but his granddaughter and grandson.
This is a pair of siblings. The younger brother is fifteen years old, with a pretty and fair complexion. The older sister is nineteen years old and looks very blessed. She is not particularly fat, but she is very blessed anyway... and very festive.
This was Xiao Yi's inner evaluation. He did not have any prejudice, nor was he laughing at the girl for being fat.
"Why don't I see Old Man Liang today?" Xiao Yi asked as he unloaded the vegetables from the cart.
"It has rained a lot recently and my grandfather's back pain has recurred, so my sister and I have been delivering vegetables to him in the next few days."
My younger brother loves to laugh, and he answered Xiao Yi's questions very naturally.
On the contrary, her elder sister seemed a little uncomfortable. She kept her head down, embarrassed to look Xiao Yi in the eye.
Xiao Yi just smiled at her politely, but she blushed with shame and quickly turned her back.
The younger brother was puzzled. Usually his sister was the most talkative, always smiling at everyone and talking adorably. But today she shrank her neck like a quail and pretended to be a lady.
He is young and doesn't understand, so you can't blame him.
It was because Xiao Yi was too handsome, with a smile as bright as sunshine, that his sister couldn't bear to look at him directly.
For the first time, Liang Cuicui wondered why she had to eat so much and become so fat. She had never felt inferior before, but now that she had seen the guy from Xiao Ji, she actually knew what it felt like to be shy and embarrassed.
She is now nineteen years old, and no one has been willing to marry her because she is too fat. She has gone on many blind dates, but was always turned down by her physique.
Even the matchmakers didn't dare to act as matchmakers for her. Some of the men who had dated her even called her "dirt pot" behind her back, which was a harsh term.
To put it nicely, people say that her stomach is big enough to hold a boat.
What I mean is that she can eat it.
Gradually, as she suffered more and more blows, she began to feel that men were dispensable, until she saw Brother Xiao San today.
She suddenly felt like something hit her heart, and she thought he looked so handsome and manly when he smiled.
The straight man Xiao Yi didn't think so much. He paid for the food and made a bowl of hot tofu pudding for each of the siblings.
My brother quickly thanked me and smiled brightly.
The tofu pudding was cooked very well, with a strong bean flavor, tender and sweet in the mouth.
Soybeans are not expensive, only sugar is expensive, so we can achieve small profits but quick turnover.
In the damp and rainy mornings, or in the early spring when the weather is still cold, a bowl of this soup is so comfortable and warms up your whole body.
Liang Cuicui and her brother were sitting in the hall drinking sweet tofu pudding and smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen. Customers had arrived early in the morning and ordered a bowl of hot hot and sour noodles or braised pork noodle soup. While they were waiting, they each had a bowl of tofu pudding and they were all eating more than one another.
Liang Cuicui looked at the bowls of delicious noodle soup being served on the table. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and her stomach started to growl. She almost couldn't resist having another bowl.
But when she saw Xiao Yi greeting guests, she thought, what kind of man would be interested in a clay pot?
She should behave like a lady and not let others think she is a greedy person.
After drinking the tofu pudding, it started to drizzle outside. The brother and sister didn't wear raincoats, so they could only wait for the rain to stop before leaving.
They waited for quite a while, and as the rain continued, the brother and sister hadn't even had breakfast and were both growling with hunger.
Xiao's mother was thoughtful and thought of asking Xiao Yi to ask the two children if they wanted to eat something.
