Chapter 423 The kids have to live up to expectations too (1/2)



"good!"

Chi Yu responded, and then, using his sleeve pocket as a cover, took out a key and handed it over.

Qin Mu took the key and walked towards the two scholars.

The three of them whispered among themselves for a while, and then they saw the two scholars walking towards her.

Chi Yu was talking to her sister about Qin Mu's suggestion earlier, and when she saw them coming over, she stopped talking.

To everyone's surprise, after the two stopped, they immediately bowed halfway and said, "Lu Yuan/Ming Guang, thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law!"

After the two finished speaking, they straightened up, and then Liu the scholar continued:

"Sister-in-law, you saved my life, Lu Yuan."

I know that I am not capable enough right now, so it would be meaningless to talk about repaying you.

I'll just leave you with this: if you ever need my help, sister-in-law, just let me know.

"As long as it's a long way and I can do it, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

Li Shusheng nodded in agreement: "Brother Liu is right. If your sister-in-law needs anything from me, Mingguang, just let me know."

That's exactly what the fish in the pond was waiting for!

But she knew that haste makes waste, so she didn't respond to that, but simply said:

"It's getting dark, and you still need to check out. Go ahead and get busy. My sister-in-law and I still need to go back and water the vegetable garden!"

After saying that, she waved to the two of them and walked back with her sister.

As for the carriage, she left it to Qin Mu.

After all, the two scholars had not yet recovered, and there was some distance between here and the inn where they were staying.

Just walking would probably take more than an hour.

With this delay, I reckon it'll be curfew soon, and I won't be able to get back!

Chi Qiao remained silent until she had walked away, then she approached her younger sister and asked her about the details of what had happened.

Upon learning that the two men would only stay for five or six days, he said:

"Today is the 17th, and around the 22nd or 23rd, we should set off back."

Xiaoyu, you said you wanted to go back before the Dragon Boat Festival. It takes several days to get from here to our Anping County.

In addition, it's too hot to travel during the day, so I would have to travel at night.

So even if you go back on the 23rd, it will be the 28th by the time you get to the county town.

After resting in the city for two days, we'll return to Chijia'ao, which will be around the Dragon Boat Festival.

Xiaoyu, you told Amu before that all that food should be donated.

The harvest isn't finished yet, so we need to hurry and try to get the grain out of the field within these five days.

After her sister calculated it this way, Chi Yu also felt that time was running out.

Keep in mind that the millet hadn't even dried yet, not to mention that there was still a lot left unharvested in the field.

Thinking about it, she hurriedly went back with her sister.

When she passed the house on the left, she had an extra key and went straight in.

Since there is no moonlight tonight, it is pitch black all around.

Chi Yu took out an oil lamp from his spatial dimension, lit it, and then went into the main room.

She first took out five pounds of broken rice and asked:

"Sister, five days is enough for two frail scholars to make porridge with a pound of broken rice a day, right?"

"One pound of rice can make a lot of porridge. The two of them probably don't eat as much as Amu."

I feel that eating three meals a day is more than enough.

Even if you just want something dry, it's not impossible!

At least for my sister and me, even when we're both eating solid food, we don't even eat seven ounces a day across two meals.

Upon closer reflection, Chi Yu realized it was true.

Immediately, she placed the broken rice on the dining table in the main room, and then took some pickled vegetables that her second and third sisters-in-law had made earlier.

Before leaving, not knowing whether the two of them wanted to study at night, I left them another pound of lamp oil.
