Village Chief Liu raised his hand in a gesture of quiet, signaling everyone to be still.
"That must be true! Do you think the Mo family has so much free time to come up with this to deceive you? Those who believe it and are willing to learn can go and learn tomorrow morning. Those who don't want to learn don't have to go. It's voluntary. The Mo family will only teach the first batch. If others want to learn, they can only find the first batch of people who have learned it."
Someone asked, "What's the use of learning this?"
Village Chief Liu explained patiently, "If you learn it and do it well, someone will come to buy it, and you'll have some income. If not, you can make it for your own consumption."
Then someone asked, "Village chief, what do we need to prepare?"
"Oh!" Village Chief Liu slapped his forehead. "I'm getting senile, I almost forgot. You don't need to bring anything to learn tomorrow, just your eyes. The day after tomorrow, you'll be doing it yourself, and you'll need to bring rice and firewood, but that's voluntary. Anyway, that's all I have to say. Think it over carefully whether you want to learn."
After saying that, Village Chief Liu really left. He needed to go back and make preparations so that his daughter-in-law could all learn from him.
The villagers discussed it for a while longer before dispersing.
Before leaving, Su Nanxi gave Mo Qinghe a few books, telling him to read them when he had time. She had chosen them specifically; reading more books was definitely beneficial.
According to Mo Qinghe, he had never been to school before, but he envied others who could study when he was a child. He would run to the corner of the private school every day to listen to the teacher's lectures and even practice writing on the ground with a small wooden stick.
He persisted for several years, and in doing so, he learned quite a bit. The gentleman probably noticed him long ago, but pretended not to know and never chased him away. He was always very grateful to that gentleman.
Mo Qinghe held the book, his heart pounding with excitement, his hands trembling.
This is his book!
He finally has his own book!
It was given to me by my wife!
I'm so happy!
I was so happy I was moved to tears!
He picked up each book one by one, gently stroking them with great care. When he picked up the last one, he was stunned.
This book is a bit small, clearly different from the others. Upon closer inspection of the title, Mo Qinghe was stunned.
"Secrets to Making Women Fall in Love with You"?
What kind of book is this?
Why would his wife buy him such a book?
Is it implying that he didn't do a good enough job and didn't understand the relationship between men and women?
After standing there dumbfounded for a while, he finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and secretly turned to the first page.
Oh dear! That scared him to death. It wasn't what he thought. Thankfully, he seemed normal, and what he said made sense.
He continued reading, and after three or four pages, he slammed the book shut, closed his eyes, and dared not look any further, his heart pounding.
I was restless all afternoon until Su Nanxi returned.
Su Nanxi returned with a bunch of children, making quite a scene.
When Qin returned, she asked, "What good news did you receive that makes you so happy?"
Mo Jiarong ran over excitedly and said, "Mom, we dug up bamboo shoots and picked green beans too."
Mo Qiushuang added loudly, "They even chopped down bamboo!"
Qin, not understanding children's joy, smiled and said, "Good, good, good!"
Mo Jiaxing came over and asked, "Mother, Third Aunt wants a big earthenware jar. Didn't we have two before? Where are they? I'll go get them and wash them."
Qin thought for a moment, "It should be in the corner of the storage room, but there's nothing there, so it's always been empty."
"Alright!" Mo Jiaxing turned and ran after hearing that.
Qin was puzzled. What did he need the jar for? What would he put in it?
Sigh! Let them do whatever they want, I don't care!
Su Nanxi used earthenware jars to make pickled bamboo shoots and pickled cowpeas. Although he had been researching it for a long time, he had never made it before, so he dared not make too many.
The children followed her around, busy with things they'd never seen before, finding it all very novel.
During the bath time, Qin gave Su Nanxi a new set of clothes. "They're freshly made. Try them on in a bit. I think they'll look great on you. The pattern is nice and suits you perfectly!"
Su Nanxi took a look and liked it very much. Qin's needlework was quite good, with tight stitches and smooth lines.
She picked it up and held it up on her shoulder, then turned to look at Mo Qinghe and asked, "Does it look good?"
Mo Qinghe softly uttered two words, "Beautiful!"
The two were having a good time when suddenly someone ran over.
When Mo Yunmei saw that Su Nanxi had new clothes again, she yelled at Qin Shi, "Sister-in-law, why did you make so many new clothes for her? What about mine? I want some too! I don't have a single new dress!"
Qin said calmly, "Yours are still wearable, they're not torn."
Mo Yunmei tore off a patch and showed it to Qin Shi, "How come it's not torn? Look, it's patched up!"
At this shout, the children ran over to join in the fun.
Mo Dongmei pointed to the patch and said, "It's not torn! There aren't any holes!"
Mo Qiushuang nodded, tugged at her sister's sleeve, and even poked at it with her hand, "My sister's clothes are the ones that are torn, look, there's a big hole."
Mo Yunmei didn't care. "What's wrong with you kids wearing worn-out clothes? You won't be able to fit into them when you're older. But I'm different. I'm a young lady now. I need to go out and meet people, so I need to wear nicer clothes!"
Mo Qiushuang asked in confusion, "We go out to meet people too, we go out every day!"
Mo Dongcheng agreed with his second sister, "I go out to play every day."
Mo Yunmei didn't want to argue with the child, so she said directly to Qin Shi, "Sister-in-law, you must still have some fabric left. Make me two sets of clothes, and I want some in bright colors. I'm planning to go on a date, so I need at least two decent outfits."
Without even lifting her eyelids, Qin said coolly, "I don't know if there's any cloth left, but any extra cloth must be returned to the mute girl. I can't make that decision. If you want to take a look, this outfit is more than enough."
After saying that, he took his children and left.
Sigh! Why did you leave?
There was no other way but to ask my mother.
Grandma Mo was even less inclined to talk to her after hearing this, and said directly, "You gave away your new clothes, if you want them, go ask someone else!"
Mo Yunmei was completely bewildered. When did she give away her new clothes?
Upon hearing this, Zhao also flew into a rage, "How dare you ask for new clothes? You have no idea how many new outfits you've given away! You stole chili peppers and gave them to others, you leaked the recipe for stir-fried snails, you even gave away the fish and meat from our house! Did those people sell them and give you the money?! You could have made eight or ten outfits with that money! You're out of your mind!"
Mo Yunmei was stunned. Was it really that valuable? Sister Qiuxia said she hadn't made much money from it, and she even complained that the recipe wasn't good enough!
Nobody paid any attention to her anymore.
Su Nanxi adjusted the dosage of the medicinal herbs for the bath according to the instructions and started soaking him again. If he felt much better, he could soak him once a week from now on.
With the multi-functional wheelchair, Mo Qinghe can get in and out of the house much more easily and effortlessly. However, getting into the bathtub is still a bit difficult.
The bathtub was specially made and quite high. He couldn't lift his legs that high, and after several attempts, he couldn't get over it, and he ended up covered in sweat.
Su Nanxi watched from the side, speechless. This person doesn't want anyone's help, yet he can't do anything himself, but he just loves to show off! He even went in fully clothed. Who goes into a medicinal bath fully clothed?
We've been dawdling for so long, the water's almost cold!
Without saying a word, he stepped forward.
"Wife, I'll take it off myself!"
