Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen
Chapter 40: No matter how poor you are, you must not be poor in education
Lin Qin rode on Old Jiangtou's ox cart back home. Along the way, she felt excited and terrified, which made her feel difficult to calm down.
Those two damn girls, Lu Keer and Dong Ling, didn’t get on the ox cart!
Biaozi must have succeeded.
Thinking of Lu Ke'er's miserable appearance with no one to turn to, Lin Qin felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in her heart, which squeezed out the last bit of guilt and nagging deep in her heart.
As soon as she got home, she did something out of character and took the initiative to wash rice and cook, which made her husband Lei Zhu and son Lei Jinbao look suspicious.
"Mom picked up some gold ingots today?" sixteen-year-old Lei Jinbao asked his father.
Lei Zhu was an honest man, and he felt helpless and troubled by his wife who was so talkative and mean. When he saw Lin Qin getting angry, he would avoid her if he could.
This woman not only has a vicious tongue, but is also lazy and greedy, and is very protective of her food. Usually, only Jinbao can get meat from her mouth, and no one else can even think about it.
Today, the father and son were horrified to find that Lin Qin actually added an extra spoonful of oil and beat an extra egg when cooking than usual!
When the food was served, they still couldn't believe it.
"What are you standing there for? Eat quickly!" Lin Qin served himself a bowl of rice, picked up an egg, and chewed it in big mouthfuls.
It was already dark, and the two little girls had no money, so they had to either sleep on the street or go home in the dark. If they were still in town, they would be kidnapped by kidnappers. If they went home in the dark, they would be taken away by wild wolves in the mountains.
Lin Qin thought viciously while eating.
I was so happy that I ate another bowl of rice.
After finishing his meal, Lin Qin was feeling very bloated when he suddenly heard Lin Yunhua from next door yelling, "Master, go check quickly! There's a carriage coming to the village!"
Lin Qin heard a few dog barking coming from the entrance of the village, which caused dogs near and far to bark as well.
Lin Qin rubbed her belly and rushed to the door of her house with her fat body, yelling, "What happened? It's already dark, why is there a carriage coming? Who are you looking for?"
"I don't know." Lin Yunhua was also very curious and urged, "Let's go and take a look together!"
In front of the Lu family.
In the night, a large carriage slowly drove over and slowly stopped.
There was a lantern hanging on the front of the car. In the dim light, Qiuyu and Xiafeng jumped out first, and then helped Lu Keer and Dongling get out of the car.
Lu Ke'er naturally helped Qiuyu get off the carriage, but Dong Ling was embarrassed and refused Qiuyu's help and jumped off the carriage by herself.
After returning home after just one day of separation, Lu Ke'er felt as if she was in another world.
On this day, too many things happened.
Some villagers and children had gathered around the carriage. When they heard the dog barking, they ran out of their homes with torches and followed the carriage to the Lu family.
There was no entertainment or recreation in the mountain village at night, so the appearance of a strange carriage in the village was the biggest topic of conversation.
Lu Ke'er frowned slightly.
She doesn't like being watched.
Almost at the moment when Lu Ke'er got off the carriage, the gate of the Lu family courtyard opened. Ji and Lei Qi looked at the two girls they had been thinking about with surprise and joy.
"Mom, I'm back." Lu Ke'er said with a smile.
"This... this..." Looking at the carriage in front of her, Ji was so shocked that she was speechless.
"Mom, let's go inside first and talk later."
Lu Ke'er asked the driver to drive the carriage into the yard, and she followed with Dong Ling and others. Fortunately, the gate of the Lu family's yard was large enough for a carriage to fit in.
After the gate was closed and all outsiders were blocked from seeing her, Lu Keer finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Ji had the chance to understand what had happened, she was stunned to see Lu Ke'er and a few others unloading piles of items from the carriage and moving them into the house.
After all the items were moved out, Xia Feng and others said goodbye and left despite Ji's attempts to keep them.
"Oh, you're leaving without even having time to eat dinner?" Ji sighed repeatedly, feeling both grateful and guilty.
Lei Qi and Dong Ling also said goodbye and went home.
Lei Qi, like Ji, had a lot of questions at this moment and was anxious to go home to ask Dong Ling.
In Lu Tianning's room, Lu Ke'er briefly recounted to her family her experiences in Jinji Town that day. However, she omitted the details about the three heroes of Jinji Town and the detoxification in Xuanhu Pavilion.
"Since you came back by carriage, why were you so slow? It was already dark when you got home." Lu Tianning was full of doubts.
"Oh, don't mention it. This driver came to our village for the first time and was not familiar with the road. He took the wrong road at a fork in the road and almost went to another village." Thinking of the experience on the way back, Lu Ke'er was so depressed.
Among the five people traveling together, only Dong Ling was familiar with the road conditions. Unfortunately, she was so excited that she kept chatting with me. It was not until she had walked a long way in the wrong direction that she realized it.
"I'm glad that he's okay." Lu Tianning and Ji Shi felt relieved.
When Lu Tianning and Ji learned that the ginseng was sold for one hundred taels of silver, they were all stunned.
"Brother Tianning, am I dreaming?" Ji looked dazed.
I was still worrying about money yesterday, but today things suddenly turned around and I made a small fortune.
"Mom, this is all true." Lu Ke'er took out a small stack of banknotes from her purse and showed them to her parents. "Look, this is ninety taels of silver. I have almost spent the other ten taels, and I still have more than one tael of silver left. This time, I bought a lot of things. Fortunately, Master Rong arranged a carriage to take us back, otherwise I wouldn't be able to carry it."
"This...this Young Master Rong is such a good man." Ji's face was full of gratitude.
Suddenly, he thought of the ten taels of silver that were almost all spent, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Why did you buy so many things? You, kid, you have to spend this money frugally..."
"Don't worry, mother, I know what's going on." Lu Ke'er smiled, "We have a lot of things to buy. Let's not talk about food, which we need to eat every day. Even for the four of us, each of us needs to make a few clothes. This time I bought a few pieces of coarse cloth and cotton cloth, and more than ten kilograms of cotton. The weather is getting cold, and winter is coming soon. Our quilts are torn and old, and they are not warm enough. We have to make a few quilts and cotton clothes. For food, I bought fifty kilograms of rice, fifty kilograms of flour, ten kilograms of oil, twenty kilograms of pork, ten kilograms of bones, and ten kilograms of vegetables. In addition, there are some salt, sauce, vinegar and other condiments. Oh, and I also bought some candy and cakes for Xiaoxi. Oh, and this."
She picked up a package from a pile of items, opened it, and a brand new set of study treasures appeared in front of everyone.
Lu Tianning's eyes suddenly became moist: "You...you kid..."
"Mom and Dad, you can all read and write. I also learned to read for a few years when I was a child. No matter how poor our family is, we cannot avoid education."
Lu Tianning wiped the corners of his eyes and nodded repeatedly.
"Xiaoxi is already five years old, and it's time for him to start enlightenment." Lu Keer touched the little kid's head and said with a smile.
"Sister, what is enlightenment?" Lu Mingxi asked ignorantly with a pair of big eyes like black grapes.
"Xiao Xi, do you want to study?" Lu Ke'er asked him.
Lu Mingxi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I want to!"
There are very few children in the village who can go to school. Only the grandson of the village head, Lei Chong, and the youngest son of Lei Qianggen, Lei Feihu, go to school in Jinji Town. Because it costs a lot of money to go to school, most children in the village cannot afford it.
Whenever Lei Chong and Lei Feihu were mentioned, Lu Mingxi remembered that the children in the village were all envious.
Ji looked at Lu Mingxi, then at Lu Tianning, and her heart ached.
"Ke'er, it costs a lot of money to go to school. Given our family's situation..." She spoke hesitantly, unable to bear to look directly into Lu Mingxi's eager eyes.
"Mom, no matter how poor we are, we must not neglect education. No matter how hard it is, we must not make our children suffer." Lu Ke'er said seriously.
