Looking at the cheerful Shangguan Qingyue with her mouth wide open, Fu Qiuyang could only shake his head helplessly. He always felt that this girl had a special magic, and even if she made such a vulgar move, he still thought she was cute.

"Sister, please use the fan to cover your mouth. I can even see your back teeth! Tsk tsk, with your temper, won't you be drowned in the spit of those noble ladies when you go to the capital in the future?

Otherwise, you'd better not go back, because you obviously don't fit in there."

Shangguan Qingyue knew that Fu Qiuyang was really worried about her future situation, but she was not a child and would definitely restrain her temper when the time came.

If she really didn't go back, it would only make things difficult for her family. They were so good to her, she couldn't be selfish and only think about herself.

"Brother Fu, don't worry. I know my limits. I am so reckless in front of you. I still know my manners when I'm outside."

This was really heartwarming, and Fu Qiuyang smiled innocently. It was no big deal after thinking about it. He had already started planning to open Shangpin Pavilion in the capital, so of course he had to protect the girl he had chosen.

The two returned to Zhao's house together and happened to meet Shangguan Yunxin who had just come down from the mountain at the gate.

She was dressed in a thorny cloth skirt, the hem of which was full of dirt, her face was stained with mud, and a few strands of hair were playfully scattered. Except for her unique temperament, she was no different from those village women who had just returned from working in the fields.

Seeing the person coming, Shangguan Yunxin subconsciously hid her hands behind her back. She simply washed her hands and face with spring water, and planned to go home to clean up the dirt embedded in her nails. Unexpectedly, she ran into Fu Qiuyang when she was in the most embarrassing moment.

Shangguan Qingyue took her sister's hand lovingly, not caring about the dirt on her hands at all, and said as she walked home:

"Eldest sister, you don't have to do everything yourself. What did you do today? Why are you so embarrassed?"

Donkey Xiaohua had already entered the house familiarly, found its own water trough, and drank the sweet spring water with a gulp, wagging its tail very comfortably, leaving Fu Qiuyang alone outside the door.

He touched his nose with amusement, shook his head helplessly, and walked into the yard.

Shangguan Yunxin shook the hand that had been held by her younger sister and said with a smile:

"I didn't do much work today. I just planted two trees and accidentally got some dirt on them. Can you guess what kind of trees they are?"

Shangguan Qingyue handed the wet towel to her sister, thought for a moment and said:

"willow?"

Seeing Shangguan Yunxin shaking her head, she continued:

"Fruit tree? If it's a fruit tree, it can't be a cherry tree, right?!"

Seeing the person opposite her nodding with a smile, Shangguan Qingyue's eyes widened instantly. She could finally achieve Cherry Freedom? ! ! !

“My mother sent someone to buy them, but the time for transplanting them was not right and I didn’t know if they would survive, so I planted them myself.

If it works, you can eat it next year! Are you happy? "

"Oh, I'm so happy! The jam made from cherries is delicious, and the canned food is also delicious. I can't wait!

By the way, scatter the pits around the house. In the future, the hill where we live might be full of cherry trees. It’s fascinating just to think about it!”

Shangguan Yunxin smiled dotingly as she watched her younger sister talk endlessly and happily. She felt that her younger sister was very similar to the sunflower, growing towards the sun, brilliant and warm.

In the afternoon, Shangguan Qingyue finally failed to go to Xuanyuan Yan's place to learn the piano. Li Shoucai brought two village heads from Fangfei Village and Shuying Village to his house.

Li Shoucai felt at ease as if he had come to his own home, and greeted them with a smile:

"Two brothers, do this. Ruoxi, you can make some fruit tea for the three of us. I think it tastes really good. And let's try the canned food. Didn't you say peaches are also very suitable for canning? I wonder if apricots would work?"

The heads of the two villages immediately pricked up their ears and listened attentively. They had long envied Xiangxue Village's pears for being able to sell at such a high price, and they wished that the fruits from their own village could also have a good market!

"Canned peaches are indeed delicious, but these apricots are not suitable..."

When Qian Guangjin from Shuying Village heard this, he became like a deflated ball, becoming listless.

He also knew that most apricots were sour and even sweet apricots would hurt the stomach if eaten too much. Every year, most of them rotted on the ground, and the pigs at home had eaten enough.

"Alas, there is nothing I can do about it. I was just asking for too much."

"Grandpa Qian, I haven't finished speaking yet.

Although these apricots are not suitable for canned fruit, they are perfect for preserved fruit. In addition, these apricots are rare medicinal materials and are expensive. I believe Baicaotang wants them."

Qian Guangjin could hardly hold the cup in his hand, and he was so happy. He didn't expect that Xingzi, who was despised by everyone, was actually full of treasures!

He had long forgotten the purpose of coming here today, and had no appetite to drink the fruit tea in his hand. He immediately asked:

"Miss Ruoxi, can you tell me in detail what this preserved fruit is and what we should do with it?"

"Brother Qian, don't worry. There are still nearly three months before the fruit matures. We can talk about this later. Didn't you come to discuss the village school with Xi Yatou today?"

Li Shoucai interrupted Captain Qian in time. He was worried that if he didn't stop him, this man would keep talking until dark and would not remember the purpose of today.

"Ah, yes, yes! Look at me, I can't care about anything when I'm anxious. I'm not good at talking, so you speak, Brother Zhao."

Zhao Fugui cursed in his heart: "Old and cunning!" He reluctantly put down the fruit that was about to be delivered to his mouth and said:

"Well, it's like this. Our two villages also want to send children here to study. Brother Shoucai said that he can't make the decision alone, and he must discuss it with you, Miss Ruoxi, before making a decision..."

Shangguan Qingyue had actually thought about this a long time ago, but after all, they were not from the same village, so there was no need to rush to ask if the other party did not ask.

Besides, she was just the leader of the village school and didn't want to be a decision maker, so she looked at Li Shoucai and said:

"Grandpa, what do you think? Tell us. How can a little girl like me make the decision?"

Li Shoucai was already familiar with the girl's usual style of doing things, so he stopped refusing and said with a smile:

"Our village has opened up 30 mu of wasteland as school land, and 10% of the pear trees in the village also belong to the village school. All expenses are paid from this.

Children can go to school without spending a penny, especially girls, who have equal opportunities.

The two village heads can go back and discuss what to do specifically. "

This is an era that believes that "women without talent are virtuous", Shangguan Qingyue can only take care of her own business and cannot interfere with other villages. It is not easy for Li Shoucai to accept her advice.

The two village heads looked at each other in surprise and confusion.

Qian Guangjin said:

"Since ancient times, men have been in charge of the outside world and women have been in charge of the inside world. Why do we still need women to learn to read and write?"
