Chi Erxiong originally brought Zhuangzhuang over hoping to use the child to have something to talk about with his in-laws.
Now, upon hearing them talking about growing vegetables in the heated brick bed, they immediately found common ground to discuss.
"Then I'll go take a look! Third sister-in-law, since you're free here, go over and lend your second sister-in-law a hand."
"good!"
Meanwhile, the shop in Chiyu's shop has become idle.
With nothing else to do, she first taught Wang Qiaoya to recognize the selling price of every item.
After discovering that the girl had an excellent memory, they began writing her name on charcoal and teaching her to recognize it.
Once I was sure she wouldn't make a mistake, I taught her how to write it according to the stroke order.
While Wang Qiaoya was studying diligently, bored out of her mind, she stood up and said:
"Qiaoya, you keep an eye on the shop. I'm going out for a walk and will be back in a bit."
While gesturing silently with her hands on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove), Wang Qiaoya tried to concentrate on dealing with the situation.
"Okay, Auntie, you go ahead. I know everything in the shop; there won't be any mistakes!"
Chi Yu trusted her completely, or rather, she trusted the villagers of Chijia'ao, so she headed towards the ancestral hall as soon as she left the house.
She had assumed that there would be few people in the ancestral hall at this time.
Even if there are any, they're just for getting desks and chairs ready for school tomorrow.
To her surprise, when she arrived, Chi Dongyi, the second elder, and the third elder were all there, and they were talking about something.
The Third Elder, also known as the village chief of Xia Village, was named Chi Sanhe and was also Chi Hua's father.
He had sharp eyes and spotted the fish in the pond, so he waved to her.
"Little Fish, come here for a second!"
As soon as Chi Yu walked over, he saw Chi Dongyi take out a fifty-tael silver note from his sleeve and hand it over.
"Little Fish, the money your sister-in-law received when she went down the mountain was given to you, wasn't it?"
This afternoon, I heard from Master Shen that your sister-in-law had given him an advance of two taels of silver for his tuition.
In addition, the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones he bought also cost ten or twenty taels of silver, and they are all currently stored with him.
We know the money was spent by you, but we don't know the exact amount.
Here's fifty taels, find the change!
Chi Yu didn't take the silver note, but nodded: "Yes, the silver was given out by my side."
However, as you know, our Zhuangzhuang was born prematurely and his health is not as strong as that of ordinary children.
People say that doing good deeds brings good fortune.
Just consider this as me thinking of Zhuangzhuang, and adding it specially for the children in the clan.
If you really want to give it, just give Master Shen two ounces of tuition in advance.
This was something Chi Qiao secretly told Chi Yu. After all, if the two sisters could both transmigrate into the book at the same time, what else was impossible?
They both felt it was a good idea to accumulate blessings for the children, and also for the good of the children in the clan.
Of course, this is on the premise that they are not so short of money.
If you're dirt poor, you certainly won't be extravagantly poor!
Chi Dongyi and the other two clan elders exchanged glances, then slowly nodded.
"That's fine too. I'll thank you and Zhuangzhuang on behalf of everyone!"
After saying that, he touched his waist again, and then took out two one-tael silver ingots from his bulging money bag.
As Chi Yu reached out to take it, she also asked, "Master Chen will begin his lessons tomorrow?"
"Yes! But there are no tables and chairs in the ancestral hall right now. I have asked everyone who comes tomorrow to bring their own chairs."
"Just make do for now. Once Carpenter He has finished making the tables and chairs, we won't need them anymore."
Chi Yu was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Uncle Clan Chief, my sister-in-law said that Master Shen will come to teach for a year."
Whether they'll still be willing to teach after this or two is another matter. Is making tables and chairs worthwhile?
What if he stops teaching after a year?
