Chapter 140 Very Relieved
Little Yuanbao folded his chubby little hands and counted them. "One string each for the east, south, west and north of my house. Well, I'll give one string to Sister Maner. Sister Maner will give me lots of pretty clothes and delicious cakes. Now I've made two strings, and I need three more, Uncle Zhong Kui."
Zhong Kui nodded and started working again. Soon, the remaining three skewers were prepared and warmed.
“Okay, dear Yuanbao, I have finished making the Five Emperors’ Coins for you. I still have a lot of things to do in the underworld, so I will go back first. I have helped you this time, but don’t pull my beard anymore in the future. You are almost making it bald.” Zhong Kui touched Yuanbao’s cute little head.
"Yes, Uncle Zhong Kui, help Wo tell Daddy that Wo is fine up there, tell him not to worry, little Yuanbao is very powerful, none of these people can beat Wo."
Zhong Kui was very pleased.
After the little devil from the underworld came to the human world, he seemed to be much more sensible.
They all became eager to learn.
Not bad, not bad. I’ll go back and tell King Yan the good news and get some good wine.
He waved at Xiao Yuanbao, and in an instant, he turned into a ball of black mist again, drilled into the ground, and disappeared.
***
Xiao Yuanbao is young and she has an active personality.
Driven by passion, she had gone to school with her elder brother for more than ten days and had reached her limit.
She doesn't want to go to school anymore.
The slow teacher in the school does things as slowly as a snail. Every time Xiao Yuanbao communicates with him, his reaction arc is very long. After the first and second times, Xiao Yuanbao is still patient, but later, she becomes impatient to communicate with the teacher.
During class, the teacher didn't let her talk to her classmates and asked her to be quiet.
The texts taught were enlightenment reading materials for children such as Three Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames, which made her fall asleep all the time.
It would be better if Brother Tengu taught her, so she could learn something.
But Brother Tengu also went to school and no longer came to play with her after the Chinese New Year.
No energy.
So, a certain little kid started to sleep in when he went to school, and later on, he just skipped classes and refused to go.
Or I would get a good night's sleep in the morning, pack my backpack in the afternoon, go to the village school for a walk, and then go home with Dabao and the others for dinner after school.
Cai did not force her.
After all, she is young and we don't expect her to learn anything. She can study if she is interested and play if she is not interested. We just treat it as an extra thing to do.
So that she wouldn’t cry when she saw her three brothers going to school but she couldn’t.
The three brothers, Dabao and his sister, are crazy about doting on their sister. They let their sister do whatever she wants as long as she is happy.
Just leave things like taking exams and studying to them.
They became very successful afterwards, and naturally, my sister's success also improved.
So, little Yuanbao was set free.
Every day I take the little white fur with me and do whatever I want. I have a lot of fun.
They also picked a good day and invited the villagers to move Tang Laosi's grave back to the collective cemetery in Tangjia Village.
Let Tang Laosi's tomb move into the ancestral tomb of the old Tang family.
Cai spent a huge amount of money to hire a stonemason to carve a new tombstone for Tang Lao Si.
Now it’s good. I don’t have to worry about it being damaged or washed away by the rain and lost my place.
As for the relocation of the burial mounds, Dabao and several other children went to school, so Cai and Xiao Yuanbao took care of it at home.
After the grave was moved, Cai felt more at ease.
When the grave was moved, many villagers came to help. Cai took advantage of the crowd and cried in front of Tang Laosi's grave, telling him not to worry, that she would take care of her children for the rest of her life and would never remarry!
This is said to the villagers.
Their family is living a better life now, and everyone can see it. During the Chinese New Year alone, many people have secretly suggested to her that they find a son-in-law.
Plus, that lunatic Chu Huan had harassed her...
She was a little scared.
She cried bitterly and swore an oath on purpose when Tang Laosi was reburied.
I hope that in the future no one will be so ignorant as to tell her these messed up things that she is not interested in at all.
She just wants to spend time with her cubs, that's enough.
Before they knew it, it was the end of the first month. Cai wanted to put some fish fry in the pond. The little boy loved to drink fish soup, so she raised more fish. When they grew up and wanted to eat fish, she could just go to the pond and catch a few. She didn't have to buy them or go to the river, which was not easy to catch.
Besides, there was something in the river and there were always few fish.
"Mom, where are you going?" Little Yuanbao looked eagerly.
Cai said, "Mother wants to go to the town to buy some fish fry, and she wants to go to the carriage shop to see if there is a cheap and suitable old carriage. Do you want to go?"
"Yes! Yes!" The little kid clapped his hands and laughed.
Cai rubbed the hair on her head and said, "I knew you were a noisy person. You're not going to the village school this afternoon? Doesn't the teacher miss you?"
"If the baby doesn't miss Mr. Man, Mr. Man may also forget to miss the baby."
Master Man really turned a blind eye to Xiao Yuanbao.
He didn't have high expectations for the girl. He understood that the girl came just to learn some simple words.
But for the boys, Master Man was still very strict. He checked their homework every day, and if they missed a word, they would be beaten with a stick. During this period, Sanbao's palms were all red from being beaten.
Xiao Yuanbao initially didn't want the teacher to beat Sanbao, but Dabao and Erbao asked her not to interfere, so she didn't interfere.
"Okay, let's go to town with mom to buy some fish fry..."
"Mom is the best. Baby loves mom the most! Come on, little white hair, let's go buy some fish fry. When they grow up, we'll feed them to baby..."
Cai packed up her things and went out with little Yuanbao.
Little White Hair exchanged the jar of gold and silver he dug out for equivalent amounts of silver bills.
At first I was going to keep the gold, but later I found that the old coins were more valuable, so I didn't want to keep the gold anymore and just exchanged them.
In total, I exchanged more than 700 taels of silver notes.
Adding the previous savings from the Cai family, the total amount was more than eight hundred taels.
Cai is now following her children and has become more and more knowledgeable. In the past, she would be shocked and worried for a long time when she had a few dozen taels of silver. But now, with nearly a thousand taels of silver in her hands, she feels at ease.
This kind of life with money is both solid and stable.
It is still inconvenient to go out, and we urgently need a light carriage that even a woman can ride.
Especially when taking the kids out.
I have to prepare food and drinks for the kid on the way, as well as warm and cold clothes. I also have to bring the dog with me, so there are so many things that the backpack has to be filled up.
Needless to say, I can’t even carry the things I buy.
Therefore, Cai had two goals today: one was to see the carriage, and the other was to buy fish fry.
As for buying land, she had already informed the shopkeeper of the pawnshop, and would notify her to go and look at the land if there was a suitable one. It would be best if she bought twenty acres of land at once, like she did last time.
I don't want it all scattered around.
I don't have the energy to take care of it.
It's also okay to buy a mountain top. A good mountain top can be used to grow fruit trees and other things. The soil must be fertile. Barren or wild mountains are not acceptable.
