Chapter 38 Dragon Boat Festival



In the following days, Liu Xue either came to pull weeds or help with washing clothes. Her diligence was so enthusiastic that even the younger ones were a little scared.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?" Song Yuehua didn't have time to beat around the bush and asked directly.

Liu Xue did not refute. She lowered her head, poked her little finger, and whispered, "I see Xiaoyu and Niuniu are learning to read here, I think..."

"Do you want to learn to read too?" Song Yuehua asked.

Liu Xue immediately shook her head and said, "My brother Bai Shu is the same age as Niuniu. Can he also come here to study?"

Facing Liu Xue's pleading eyes, Song Yuehua only said, "I don't have the final say on this matter. Go ask Xiaoyu. If she agrees, then there will be no problem."

"really?"

"really."

Liu Xue immediately ran to find Xie Yu.

Having more students is no big deal for Xie Yu. Moreover, the more students you have, the more interesting it is to be a teacher. Otherwise, it would be like playing house.

Xie Yu happily agreed.

If you just want your younger brother and Xiaoyu to learn to read, that's understandable.

As a result, after Liu Xue arranged for her brother, she went to Song Yuehua again. Seeing her flattering smile, Song Yuehua asked again, "Is there anything else?"

"that……"

Liu Xue blushed and asked shyly, "Can I learn archery from you?"

Archery?

Liu Xue is interested in archery?

Seeing her cautious look, Song Yuehua softened her heart for a moment, "You can learn if you want, but I can't promise anything. Just come and practice with Xie Wenwu every morning."

"That..." Liu Xue's face flushed and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Song Yuehua was annoyed. "What are you talking about? Just say it all at once. I hate it when you keep guessing."

Liu Xue immediately said, "I was wondering if I should also become a disciple like Xie Wenwu? Should I also buy a bow and arrow?"

"No need to become my disciple!" said Song Yuehua.

"Xie Wenwu is very sociable, so don't worry about it. There's no rush to buy bows and arrows. Go borrow them from Xie Wenwu first."

The next day, there was a fair and tender little baby in the classroom.

Xie Wenwu was so happy to know that he had a new junior sister. When he heard that Liu Xue didn't have a bow, he immediately gave her his bow.

"The bow and arrow are sent out, what are you practicing?"

Song Yuehua knew that Xie Wenwu's heart was not in the bow and arrow, but this attitude was still annoying.

"Master, don't worry. My second uncle made two small bows for me, and I have another one at home," Xie Wenwu said nonchalantly.

"Go back and get it now!" Song Yuehua said coldly.

Xie Wenwu asked anxiously, "Now? Master, I just marinated the duck. If we wait for a while, I'm afraid that if we delay the time, the roasted duck won't taste right."

Song Yuehua said word by word, "Go back and get it!"

Xie Wenwu then realized that his master was really angry. He shut his mouth angrily, took off his apron and went out.

Later, Liu Xue found out about this and ran over to apologize to Song Yuehua.

"This is none of your business."

Song Yuehua waved her hands and said, "I was angry about his attitude. There is nothing we can do about his poor talent, but a bad attitude is a human problem."

It was not until the next morning that Xie Wenwu came back. As soon as he arrived, he admitted his mistake to Song Yuehua and made various promises.

"Are you asking about your second uncle or your third uncle?" Song Yuehua asked.

Xie Wenwu choked, his expression uglier than crying, "I'm asking Uncle San, Master, I'm a fool, I don't have a bright mind, please don't abandon me!"

Song Yuehua's head hurt from his shouting, "Alright, it's good that you know you're wrong, just do what you need to do."

Compared with Xie Wenwu who was not in tune, Liu Xue put in a lot of effort. She pulled the strings until her hands were bleeding, and then she wrapped them with a cloth and continued practicing.

Song Yuehua said she didn't have enough strength, so she picked up a hoe and turned over the nearby land.

He practiced archery in the morning, plowed the soil in the afternoon, and ran a few laps around the neighborhood when he had free time every day. Song Yuehua had only seen this kind of intensity in professional athletes.

At first she thought Liu Xue was just learning for fun, but now, she had to re-examine this little girl.

Song Yuehua asked, "Do you want to go hunting?"

Liu Xue turned to Song Yuehua and said without hesitation, "Yes!"

Song Yuehua nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

If you want to hunt, you need to learn not only how to shoot in motion, but also the body structure of animals...

Just as Song Yuehua was thinking about how to modify the training schedule, Liu Xue asked anxiously, "Don't you want to ask anything else?"

"What else?" Song Yuehua said with a smile, "I want to hunt and make money, what else?"

Liu Xue lowered her head and said nothing, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.

That evening.

After Liu Xue returned home with her brother Bai Shu, she was pulled aside by Liu Meiniang as soon as she entered the door.

"Why do you two run over there every day? What's going on?" Liu Meiniang asked anxiously.

Liu Xue gave Bai Shu a look, and Bai Shu left on his own accord.

"Don't worry, mother. Although Song Daya won't tell anyone, I'm always worried that it might ruin your plans. So I volunteered to work there and bring the white book with me, fearing that I might be neglected."

After saying that, he untied the cloth strips on his hands, stretched out his bloody hands, and said with a slightly sobbing voice, "Look, mother, those people are not easy to deal with. They tortured me like this just by doing the work. If you are worried, I will not go tomorrow."

"Oh, how could this be..." Liu Meiniang pushed Liu Xue's hand away and said gently.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xue'er. With your help, I can marry into a good family and live a good life with Xue'er in the future."

"Thank you, mother." Liu Xue lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.

As soon as Liu Meiniang left, Liu Xue's expression suddenly changed, "Good days? I'm afraid it's only good days for you, mother."
