As soon as A finished speaking, everyone was tempted.
B: "Would Wang Xiaoman be willing?"
C: "Let's ask her. If she's not willing, then forget it."
Ding: "Then let's go now."
A: "Okay."
As they walked towards Xiaoman's house, they encountered several other military wives. Seeing that there were several of them, the wives asked where they were going. Thinking that more people would increase the chances of Xiaoman agreeing, they said they wanted Xiaoman to teach them how to gather herbs. Upon hearing this, the other military wives also wanted to learn from Xiaoman.
Xiaoman's family.
Xiaoman was inside listening to Wang Erni and Ma Xiumei gossip.
Nao Nao and Tengteng clung to Xiao Hei's legs. When Xiao Hei lifted its leg, Nao Nao and Tengteng laughed, feeling as if they were flying.
Tang Huihui was doing needlework in the yard while watching the children.
Erwa and Lao Guo were in the kitchen preparing food.
Old Shang was meditating inside the house.
When the military wives came in, Tang Huihui was taken aback. What was going on today? Before, apart from Wang Erni and Ma Xiumei, the other military wives never visited her. Tang Huihui wanted to ask them what they were doing there, but then felt it wasn't appropriate. "You're here to see Xiaoman, right?"
As soon as Jia entered, she was drawn in by Nao Nao and Tengteng's laughter. Tang Huihui occasionally took Nao Nao and Tengteng out for walks. Jia noticed that Nao Nao and Tengteng seemed to have gained weight compared to a few days ago. Jia thought to herself: Wang Xiaoman is really capable. She's raised both children so well.
Yi also noticed that Nao Nao and Tengteng had gotten fat. Yi thought to himself: Gathering herbs must be very profitable. Look how fat these two kids are, they must have eaten a lot of good food.
Bing thought: Wang Xiaoman is really carefree, actually letting her child play with a horse.
Ding smiled at Tang Huihui: "Auntie, is Xiaoman home?"
"Yes." Tang Huihui turned around and called into the house, "Xiaoman, someone is looking for you."
Nao Nao pointed to the military wives, and Xiao Hei led them over to them.
Xiao Hei was tall and strong, which made the military wives a little scared.
Tang Huihui quickly said, "It's okay, my Xiao Hei doesn't kick people."
After Xiao Hei brought Nao Nao and Tengteng over, Nao Nao and Tengteng slid down Xiao Hei's legs.
The two brothers looked at the military wives.
Nao Nao: "Who are you?"
Tengteng: "What do you want with my mother?"
The military wives were surprised. Usually, when Tang Huihui and Xiaoman took the children out for a walk, they would just greet them and move on if they ran into them. So, all they knew was that Naonao and Tengteng were chubby.
Jia looked at Tang Huihui and asked, "Auntie, your child can speak such long sentences now?"
Tang Huihui smiled and said, "They both started talking early."
Yi said enviously, "Auntie, your two children are so smart."
Nao Nao frowned. "Grandma, can't they hear me and Tengteng talking?"
Tengteng put his hands on his hips and asked, "What do you want with my mother?"
Xiaoman came out of the house: "Naonao, Tengteng, you can't be rude."
"Mom." Nao Nao ran over and hugged Xiao Man's left leg: "They're ignoring me."
"Mom." Tengteng ran over and hugged Xiaoman's right leg: "They're ignoring me too."
Xiaoman patted the children's heads: "You have to be polite, then the aunties will pay attention to you."
Nao Nao: "What is politeness?"
Xiaoman: "Look, when you talk to me you have to call me 'Mom' first, and when you talk to Grandma you have to call her 'Grandma' first, but what about when you talk to the aunties?"
Nao Nao and Tengteng said in unison, "Call her Auntie first."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Yes."
Nao Nao turned around and looked at the military wives, asking, "Aunties, who are you?"
Tengteng then asked, "Auntie, what do you want with my mom?"
The military wives looked at Xiaoman, then at Naonao and Tengteng. Why all this roundabout way of calling someone "Auntie"? If it were them, they would just say "Auntie" directly.
Nao Nao was unhappy: "Mom, they're ignoring me."
Xiaoman looked at Naonao and said, "Just because you asked doesn't mean others have to answer you."
Nao Nao scratched his head: "Oh, I see?"
"Um."
"Alright then. Mom, are the aunties just here to hang out?"
Tengteng: "Mom, ask them why they came to our house?"
"Okay." Xiaoman greeted the military wives, who then came to their senses.
A: "Xiaoman, is this how you usually teach your child?"
Xiaoman: "Okay. Come in and sit down."
A: "Great. Xiaoman, your two children are really smart."
Xiaoman smiled.
After the military wives went inside, Xiaoman looked at Naonao and Tengteng and asked, "Do you want to play with Xiaohei or help your mother greet the guests?"
Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Greeting the guests."
"Then come inside with Mother."
"good."
After entering the house, Xiaoman first poured Jia a cup of tea. "Have some tea."
"good."
Next, Xiaoman poured a cup of tea for Yi. After pouring it, Xiaoman looked at Naonao and Tengteng. Naonao and Tengteng immediately said, "Auntie, have some tea."
Yi was incredibly envious: "Xiaoman, your two sons are so lucky."
Xiaoman smiled.
Then, Xiaoman poured a cup of tea, and Naonao and Tengteng said, "Auntie, have some tea."
After pouring the tea, Naonao and Tengteng stood next to Xiaoman. Xiaoman hugged the two children and asked directly, "Did you come today?"
Everyone felt a little embarrassed.
Xiaoman glanced at Wang Erni and Ma Xiumei.
Wang Erni and Ma Xiumei were also very curious.
Ma Xiumei: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be shy."
Wang Erni: "That's right. Xiaoman is very easy to talk to."
A: "Then I'll be frank, we want Xiaoman to teach us how to gather herbs."
Xiaoman looked at the military wives: "Aren't you afraid of snakes?"
A gritted his teeth: "I'm not afraid."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Besides snakes, there are also tigers, wolves, and wild boars."
The military wives' expressions changed.
A thought for a moment and said, "Let's not go deep into the mountains."
B: "Yes, we won't go deep into the mountains."
Xiaoman: "The best medicinal herbs are mostly found deep in the mountains."
A: "We just wanted to collect some medicinal herbs to supplement our family income."
Xiaoman: "Okay, I'll find you a master."
A: "No need for that. You can just teach us."
Xiaoman: "I learned it from the book."
The military wives were quite surprised.
A: "You taught yourself?"
Xiaoman: "Yes. I know an old master who has been collecting herbs all his life. If you want to learn, I'll have him teach you."
Xiaoman relies mainly on skill to gather herbs, but the military wives don't have that skill, so Xiaoman wants to hire a professional mentor for them.
A: "Isn't this...too much trouble?"
Xiaoman: "No. I helped him before." Once, Xiaoman went into the mountains to collect herbs and met him. He was being chased around by wild boars, so Xiaoman helped him out.
A was quite embarrassed: "Thank you for your trouble."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all."
A: "Then..."
Xiaoman: "I'll go ask him tomorrow. If he's free, you can start learning tomorrow."
A: "I don't know what to say to you after troubling you so much."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "It was nothing."
A: "Then we'll come to your house tomorrow?"
Xiaoman: "Okay."
As soon as the military wives left, Wang Erni looked at Xiaoman and said, "You're so generous."
Ma Xiumei: "Exactly. Why don't you just teach him yourself? Why bother hiring a teacher?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "We're all military wives, so let's help each other out if we can. But my skills in gathering herbs aren't quite there yet."
Ma Xiumei: "You mean well, but people may not appreciate it."
