Chapter 160 Return to the City after the New Year
Old Mrs. Qin noticed the villagers outside her yard, went out and invited them in.
The few villagers who came were a little absent-minded at this time, their minds full of the scene of the Zhou family learning to read with Qin Zimu.
These villagers all have children in their families, but their daily income is just enough to make ends meet, so they dare not even think about their children learning to read and write.
When he saw the Zhou family members studying with Qin Zimu, he was extremely envious.
But no one was too embarrassed to suggest sending their children to the Qin family to study together.
The villagers came and left quickly, asking questions and then leaving. But when they left, they kept looking back inside.
Old Mrs. Qin noticed the villagers' reactions and quickly pulled Qin Ruo aside.
"Ruo'er, I saw a few people looking at Erlang just now. They don't want to send their children here to learn to read, do they? Ruo'er, you can't agree to them. If they are used to taking advantage of others, they will have more. If there are too many people, won't our Erlang be exhausted to death?"
What Old Lady Qin said was true. Qin Zimu had a lot of things to do every day.
He has to practice martial arts and study, and Erlang also has his own things to do.
What made Old Mrs. Qin feel uncomfortable was that her family had really sacrificed half their lives in order to support her grandson to go to school.
None of the villagers were optimistic at the beginning, and they just said that the Qin family had high aspirations.
Why is it that now it is the turn of these villagers' children to be able to read and write without any effort?
The more Old Lady Qin thought about it, the more she couldn't swallow this breath. Erlang taught the Zhou family well, and the Zhou family was not an outsider.
From the looks of the villagers who had just arrived, one could tell what they were planning.
Fortunately, they didn't have the audacity to offer to send their own children over, otherwise they would have been scolded.
"A little bit of rice is a favor, a big bit of rice is a grudge. I understand, I have my own arrangements. Speaking of which, it seems that you haven't written anything today. When you finish writing, give it to Xundong to read. Grandma, learning never ends..."
Qin Ruo looked at Old Lady Qin, whose face was red and her neck was thick, with a half-smile on her face.
After returning from Taihe County, Old Lady Qin really lay down and was not as active as she was when she was in Taihe County years ago.
Because Qin Zimu was busy practicing martial arts with Song Shiqi and learning new knowledge under the guidance of Qin Ziyan, he had no time to teach Old Lady Qin.
After Old Lady Qin became completely "free", she probably had forgotten most of the characters she had learned before.
"Ruo'er, I, I don't need to use it, right? I can already write my own name, and I can recognize quite a few words..." Old Mrs. Qin's voice became lower and lower, and she had long forgotten why she came to find Qin Ruo.
Seeing Qin Ruo's stern face, she couldn't say any more. Her old face turned red and she turned around and went back to her room.
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have mentioned it. Aren't I just digging a hole for myself?
Xundong and Banxia covered their mouths and laughed. This old lady was quite interesting.
Although he usually looks like a sharp-tongued person, he has no temper at all in front of Qin Ruo.
Sure enough, one thing comes down to another.
Tomorrow is the 16th day of the first lunar month. Xunyu Ji has opened its doors a few days ago and is welcoming guests again.
Although Qingsheng and Manager Li are in the restaurant, as the host, it is time for him to go back.
And at the house in the suburbs, Song Shiqi also has to continue training those kids.
After Zhou Dazhui and the others attended the half-hour class, they went back and agreed to set aside an hour every night to come and study with Qin Zimu.
I have to work during the day, so I can only spare time at night.
This arrangement is just right for the Zhou family and Qin Zimu.
After the Zhou family left, Qin Ruo found half a basket of eggs, a small bag of rice, and a piece of dried bacon that the Zhou family had secretly brought in in the corner of the yard.
Qin Ruo did not ask anyone to send it back, but just told Qin Zimu to put the things away.
The Qin family has no shortage of these things, and considering the current situation of the Zhou family, this is already a show of sincerity.
If they really send him back, the Zhou family might not even be able to sleep well.
When the Zhou family came over tonight, they brought a set of tables and chairs with them.
That set of tables and chairs was naturally made personally by Mr. Zhou, the old carpenter.
Since the beginning of the year, there have been a lot of people coming and going to the Qin family, and the existing tables and chairs in the Qin family are no longer enough.
Old Man Zhou has been busy making furniture since the beginning of the year. He has seen and remembered the situation of the Qin family.
Starting from the second day of the Chinese New Year, they worked day and night to get this set of tables and chairs out, and gave them to the Qin family as spare parts.
The Qin family is about to build a new house. Qin Ruo had already placed an order for furniture with Old Man Zhou, and this set was not on the list.
Qin Ruo provided all the travel expenses for Zhou Dazhui's trip to Ganzhou, and before leaving, she took him to buy two sets of presentable clothes.
The two families have become accustomed to this way of getting along with each other.
The next morning, Qin Ruo, Qin Tiaotiao, Song Shiqi, Xun Dong, Banxia and their group returned to Taihe County first.
Before the agricultural officials arrived, Qin Ruo had to go back to deal with the matters in Taihe County.
It was time for Qin Ziyan to return to Taihe County, so he simply went back with Qin Ruo and the others.
Only Qin Zimu and Old Lady Qin were left in the Qin family, and the house suddenly became deserted.
Qin Zimu wants to stay here to help deal with some villagers' crop planting issues.
Old Mrs. Qin has her own medicinal fields, orchards and breeding farms. Although they are all managed by someone, she still feels uneasy.
Only by taking a walk every day can you feel at ease.
Besides, she couldn't bear to leave Qin Zimu alone in the village, so she simply stayed with him.
After arriving at Taihe County, Song Shiqi returned to his house in the suburbs, while Qin Ruo and his party went straight to Qin's house.
Not long after, Si Heng, who learned that Qin Ruo had returned, came to Qin's house alone.
"Miss Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are well." As soon as Si Heng entered the room, he started to greet her.
"Hello, Mr. Si, have you been feeling well lately? Is there any news about Doctor Ji?" Qin Ruo was trimming a pot of flowers in the yard with a pair of scissors in her hand.
The reason why she returned to Taihe County was to deal with the Shen family.
Secondly, it was the second time to remove the poison from Si Heng.
Originally, she and Si Heng had agreed that she would start detoxifying him after he had dealt with Doctor Ji.
Si Heng asked Cang Jiu to pass a message to the capital. After receiving the news, Doctor Ji set out from the capital.
But before they could even reach Doctor Ji, we received news that he was chased by several unknown groups of people on the way and had disappeared.
Until now, there is still no news about Doctor Ji.
Years ago, Si Heng's cold poison broke out again.
Qin Ruo was personally invited to her house by Old Madam Xie, so she brought up the matter of Si Heng's detoxification.
"Thanks to you, Miss Qin, he is much better now after the poison was removed last time. As for Doctor Ji... I think some people are getting impatient." Si Heng had something to say, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes when he mentioned Doctor Ji.
"Everything is under the control of Master Si, isn't it? By the way, Song Shiqi is a good person and very much to my liking. Thank you." Qin Ruo changed the subject and mentioned Song Shiqi.
"As long as you find it useful, by the way, the craftsman you asked me to find a few years ago arrived yesterday. I'll ask Uncle Wu to meet you later, just tell him if you have any requests." Si Heng was in a very good mood, and he openly acknowledged that it was he who sent Song Shiqi to Qin Ruo.
