Chapter 79 It's true, you have to believe me.
Little Su Bao clung tightly to Little Bell's belly.
She could sense that Little Bell was angry, so she quickly said, "Good girl, Little Bell, you're the older sister, you have to give in to your younger sister!"
The little ferret blinked its tiny black eyes and looked pitifully at the little bell.
They looked completely subservient!
Little Su Bao touched the little bell and said in a childish voice, "Don't worry, even if I have a little tune, I'll still like you very much, okay?"
"Chirp chirp?" (Really?) Little Bell looked at Tang. Zha Zha. Su with a bit of disbelief.
“Really? You have to believe me.” Little Su Bao nodded very seriously.
The Qian family...
Everyone...
These words of "benevolence" sound exactly like those of a scoundrel from a storybook...
"Squeak..."
The little ferret even bowed its two paws to Little Bell in a very humane way, as if it really considered her a little brother... no... a little sister.
"Look, even Xiaodiao calls you her older sister. Our Xiaolingdang is the most generous, isn't she!" Xiaosubao's sweet voice carried a hint of seduction.
Little Bell was led astray without even realizing it.
Mrs. Qian found it amusing and couldn't help but pinch Xiao Su Bao's cheek, saying, "Alright, you little rascal, go and take your friends to find your older brother and go home for dinner!"
Little Su Bao nodded immediately, a slight smile on her face.
A moment later, Xiao Su Bao, carrying a mink in one arm and a rabbit in the other, walked out of the Tang family gate with Yun Qi in front, Xiao Mo Bao beside her, and the Tang family's three treasures following behind.
Tang Qi originally wanted to go, but Qian kept him behind. She was worried because the brat had been too harsh on Xiao Mobao.
As soon as the group stood at the door, they saw Tang Cheng, who had just returned.
He had gone out to discuss the courtyard renovations, and when he saw them come out, he smiled and said, "Little sister, Mr. Yun, what brings you out?"
Yun Qi smiled and looked at Tang Cheng, saying, "Since we have nothing to do right now, I came out with Xiao Su Bao to find you to go back for dinner and also to get familiar with the village."
Tang Cheng was much more composed than Tang Qi. He reached out and picked up Xiao Su Bao.
He glanced at the kitchen and said, "Okay, let's go. I came back just in time to ask you what the children need for class."
“We need writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, but…” Yun Qi paused.
Having traveled to so many places, he could tell that this village was not very wealthy, and was even somewhat poor!
I reckon only the Tang family is doing relatively well.
Brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones are all valuable items!
Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng also looked somewhat troubled.
There are quite a few children of all ages in the village, and the village has no other source of income, so it simply cannot support so many students.
Their family can contribute a portion, but the villagers themselves must pay for the rest; otherwise, they won't cherish the opportunity to study.
"I'll think of a way to handle this!" Tang Cheng sighed, looking somewhat weary.
Little Su Bao sat in Tang Cheng's lap, holding two small pets. When she heard her older brother sigh, the little bundle of joy immediately raised her head.
"Pen is fine, but paper is extremely expensive. Even coarse paper might be hard to supply," Yun Qi said earnestly from the side.
He was educated; a child, from studying to passing the imperial examinations, must have spent a considerable amount of money on writing materials.
Little Su Bao heard their conversation clearly and her eyes lit up.
Her mother made her a small sand tray when she was very young, which she could use to write.
However, later, her mother turned into a star, and her grandmother crushed the sand table, saying that girls shouldn't read books.
But she saw that her older and younger sisters had all gone to school!
Xiao Su Bao shook her head, holding Xiao Lingdang and Xiao Diaodiao in one hand, and tugging at Tang Cheng's sleeve with difficulty in the other.
Tang Cheng was trying to figure out a solution when he felt Xiao Su Bao tugging at his clothes, so he looked down at the little bundle of milk in his arms.
"I...I have a way..." She was nice to the Tang family, but she was still a little shy and nervous when there were outsiders around.
Yun Qi was taken aback, wondering what else this little one didn't understand?
This child has piqued his interest!
Xiao Mo Bao, who had been looking down and seemingly lost in thought, couldn't help but look up when she heard Xiao Su Bao's words.
When Xiao Su Bao saw that everyone was looking at her, her face turned even redder, and she hid her head in Tang Cheng's neck.
The sound was so soft that only Tang Cheng and himself could hear it.
"We made a sand tray using wooden boards and fine sand, and then we could write with a bamboo stick!" She remembered that little sand tray very clearly because she and her mother made it together.
Tang Cheng's eyes lit up immediately, and his smile became even brighter.
They don't have anything else, but they do have a lot of river sand, planks, and bamboo here.
He picked up the little baby and headed towards the carpenter's house at the east end of the village.
Yang, the carpenter at the east end of the village, is fifty-six years old this year. His skills are not very good, but people in the village usually have cabinets or something made by him.
"Uncle Yang, I need your help!" Tang Cheng shouted as he walked to Yang the carpenter's door.
Carpenter Yang was making a few small stools when he heard Tang Cheng's words and immediately came out.
Covered in wood chips, he immediately took two steps back when he saw Xiao Su Bao and Yun Qi.
"What does the village chief want me to do? Tell me!" He immediately smiled and asked Tang Cheng.
Carpenter Yang had no sons, only a daughter. A few years ago, his daughter was almost beaten to death by her husband. It was Tang Cheng and Madam Qian who brought her back with other people.
He was one of Tang Cheng's most loyal followers. His daughter was his life, and now that his daughter and granddaughter were staying with him, he was grateful to Tang Cheng's family.
"I'd like you to get me some wooden planks..." Tang Cheng said, then looked at Xiao Su Bao!
He really didn't know what the sand table looked like.
Little Su Bao wanted to gesture with her little hands, but...
The two little ones in her arms grabbed her hands.
The little baby had no choice but to throw them down...
Little Tiaotiao reacted quickly, turning around and wrapping her arms around Little Su Bao's neck, leaving Little Bell Dang in a sorry state.
She couldn't believe it when she fell to the ground; she had been abandoned by her young master.
"It's a wooden board this big, and then you use shorter wooden boards to seal the edges. It's about this wide..." Xiao Su Bao gestured as she tried her best!
However, no one could understand it!
Little Mo Bao somehow saw it clearly.
He glanced at them, then picked up a stone from the ground and began to draw.
"Yes, yes, that's the size!" Little Su Bao looked at the drawing by Little Mo Bao and nodded her little head like a chick pecking at rice.
Tang Cheng also glanced at Xiao Mobao with some surprise. This child was really quite amazing. After all, he really hadn't understood Xiao Su Bao's actions just now!
After finishing the sand table, they were about to head back when Xiao Su Bao turned her head and looked towards the river.
