Tao Wenwen took a look and found that they were indeed all medicinal herbs. They were washed and then dried. They were picked very well and each one was kept intact. They were also screened and washed very well and very cleanly without any extra weeds.
Of course, the apprentices she likes cannot be bad. Even if they are not good, she has a way to make them excellent.
However, Tao Wenwen still didn't expect that Xu Xiangdong would ask her to teach Xu Xiaoyun how to read and study.
After all, in this era, most families favor boys over girls. Families like Tao Mingzhi and Wang Xiaomin are very rare. Not only did they only give birth to the original owner, but even though it was a girl, they didn't allow Wang Xiaomin to give birth to a boy.
Moreover, Tao Mingzhi always held the original owner in his hands and treated her as the apple of his eye.
Xu Xiangdong was carrying the burden of his entire family, yet he was still able to say such words. This must have been a well-considered statement. It was also very good that he could still think about his sister's future even when the family was in such a tense situation.
"If she wants to study, the best way is of course to go to school. Although I can teach her, my time is limited," Tao Wenwen suggested.
Xu Xiangdong said, "I know, but Xiaoyun hasn't been to school for several years. If she goes back to school now, will the school accept her? Besides, she hasn't been exposed to learning for so long, she must have forgotten most of what she learned before."
The one who hadn't expected this even more than Tao Wenwen was Xu Xiaoyun. She was stunned for a long time, listening to Xu Xiangdong and Tao Wenwen's discussion, and still asked in disbelief:
"Brother, have you really decided to let me continue studying? But Mom and Dad will definitely not agree. Forget it. It would be nice for me to learn about some herbs and sell them to supplement the family income."
Xu Xiangdong said, "The land has been divided. From now on, each family will work on their own. Your share will be shared with your eldest brother. Our parents are old and can't take charge anymore. From now on, eldest brother will arrange all the family affairs. He has the final say. You can talk to my parents. If you want to study medicine, just think about these two things and don't worry about anything else!"
It was the first time that Xu Xiaoyun saw Xu Xiangdong speak so firmly about something, and it was about her. She felt that the success rate of this matter was very high and it would definitely succeed.
Because it was the eldest brother who confirmed it himself!
Xu Xiaoyun blushed with excitement and said, "Brother, don't worry about my studies. Although my parents don't agree with my studies, I have actually been secretly studying all these years.
Whenever I had some free time after work, I would run to the school in our village and listen secretly in the corner. The teachers in the school saw that I liked to study, so they were happy to answer my questions that I didn’t understand.
Some teachers would even give me old books to read, but I was afraid my parents would get angry if they saw them, so I didn’t dare bring them home. I just hid the books at school and would read them when I had time!
Xu Xiaoyun hid it very well and no one noticed. If she hadn't taken the initiative to tell him today, Xu Xiangdong might never have known it in his life.
After hearing this, Xu Xiangdong was not happy that her studies had not fallen behind and that she would be able to catch up after going back to school. Instead, she felt sad.
Those who want to study are not allowed to study, and those who don’t want to study are forced to go to school every day.
What a bully!
Xu Xiangdong's eyes were red, and he was even more determined. He said, "That's even better. I'll take you to school tomorrow!"
Xu Xiaoyun danced with excitement, thinking that the sun must have risen from the west today, otherwise how could she be so happy!
"Brother, please have some snacks. These are all for you!" Xu Xiaoyun happily stuffed all the snacks to Xu Xiangdong.
Xu Xiangdong felt that he shouldn't have taken something, so he asked for help and took other people's things.
Tao Wenwen had to explain it again, saying that Wang Xiaowu and Xu Xiaoyun both had them, and it was a reward for them.
