The general's wife knows medicine

"If you want to go back, then go back. Don't you know where Nanny Yuan's hometown is? Is it far away?" Tang Peipei asked.

When Nanny Yuan saw that Tang Peipei agreed to let her go back to her hometown, she was very happy.

"Not far, just over half an hour's journey from town."

Half an hour, that is an hour, is a long time for Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei gave five taels of silver to Nanny Yuan.

"Madam, use this money to buy some things for your family and hire a bullock cart to go back."

Tang Peipei had already given her thirty taels before, and now he gave her five more taels. She felt embarrassed to accept any more and kept shaking her head.

"Peipei, I can't accept this money no matter what. My family has always been well fed and well clothed. I didn't touch a cent of the thirty taels you gave me before. I can't accept this money no matter what you say."

Nanny Yuan pushed Tang Peipei's hand back.

"Five taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to have good food and clothing for a year. Aren't you planning to take us on a long trip after the New Year? That will cost money, so keep this money for your use. I have money."

Seeing that Nanny Yuan didn't seem to be polite, Tang Peipei no longer insisted and took the money.

"Well, then, when do you plan to go back?"

Yuan Ma: "Whenever you go back to your hometown, I will go back then."

"That's fine, but you haven't been home for a long time. You can stay at home for two more days this time. There's no need to rush back." Tang Peipei thought about taking Nanny Yuan on a long journey. "If we go back this time, we may not know when we will be back next time."

Nanny Yuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go back to my room first, and you should go to bed early too."

The next day, Tang Peipei had breakfast and went to the store.

"Miss Tang, why are you here so early?" Shopkeeper Qi was cleaning the house with his people and saw Tang Peipei from afar.

"I'm here to deliver the design drawings. I also want to come to the store to pick out some fabrics or other things as gifts." Tang Peipei handed the design drawings to Shopkeeper Qi.

Shopkeeper Qi put away the picture and took Tang Peipei to look at the fabrics in the store.

Tang Peipei chose a navy blue piece for grandpa Lu Gang, a purple piece for grandma Chen Cuihua, an indigo piece for Lu Lifeng, the latest style of lotus-colored hibiscus patterned fabric for aunt Liu Yeling, and a turquoise piece of fabric with small floral patterns for her little cousin.

After the store gave me a discount, I spent a total of three taels of silver.

Tang Peipei went to the silver shop again and bought two pearl flowers for her little cousin Lu Xinyu, spending twenty cents.

Thinking that Tang's mother had never worn any jewelry on her hands or head, he bought her a silver orchid hairpin and a plain silver bracelet. He also bought a silver lotus leaf hairpin for his grandmother and an orchid silver bracelet for his aunt, spending a total of ninety taels.

Tang Peipei happily returned home with the jewelry she bought.

After Tang Peipei left, Shopkeeper Qi asked someone to deliver the cloth selected by Tang Peipei to the restaurant alley.

Tang Peipei went home and gave the jewelry she bought to her mother.

I heard that she also bought herself a hairpin and a bracelet. She kept saying it was a waste of money, but the smile on her face was getting bigger and bigger.

"Mother, look, how beautifully Zeng's mother is dressed. She is older than you." Tang Peipei inserted the silver hairpin into her mother's head. "Look, how beautiful it is. My daughter can make money. You should dress up more in the future."

Mother Tang looked at herself in the bronze mirror and felt very pleased. Her daughter was not raised in vain and loved in vain. Look how filial she was to her.

"Well, I like it. But I'm getting old, and it's time for you to dress up more. Look, you haven't even bought yourself anything to dress up."

Tang's mother knew that her daughter was filial, but she also felt sorry for her. Which girl would go out in the world to earn money to support her family?

"Mom, your daughter's beauty is natural and hard to be abandoned! Why does she need those material things?" Tang Peipei gestured on her body.

This made Tang's mother laugh and cry, "You are so shameless, girl." As she said that, she tapped Tang Peipei on the head.

Tang Peipei covered the place where she was hit, "Mom, it hurts~"

Tang's mother just tapped her lightly, which was unlikely to hurt much, so she turned around and smiled, ignoring her.

Tang Peipei had no choice but to put down her hands in boredom and hugged her mother and acted coquettishly.

"Mom, shall we leave after the New Year?"

Tang's mother was a little overwhelmed by Tang Peipei's sudden change of subject.

But she quickly thought of what she accidentally heard last time.

That was what Tang Peipei and Nanny Yuan were talking about Zeng Xiuyuan.

Tang Peipei didn't want her mother to worry, so she didn't tell her about it. She thought her mother didn't know about it, but she happened to hear it.

"Okay, wherever you want to go, mom will accompany you." Tang's mother did not ask about Tang Peipei and Zeng Xiuyuan.

Tang Peipei was very moved and hugged her mother tightly.

"Mom, it's so good to have you." Tang Peipei truly felt her mother's love.

In her previous life, she had always lived with her grandfather, who was an old Chinese doctor. So in order to fulfill her grandfather's wish, she gave up fashion design and chose medicine.

Her parents divorced when she was very young. Since she was old enough to understand, she has never lived with her parents for a single day, and naturally has never felt the love of her mother.

Now she truly feels the love that Tang's mother gives her, and she really regards Tang's mother as her own mother.

"Mom also thinks it's good to have Peipei." Tang's mother patted Tang Peipei's back lovingly.

Tang Peipei silently shed tears of emotion. She felt so lucky to have a mother who loved her so much in this life.

Tang's mother thought that Tang Peipei was sad about Zeng Xiuyuan, so she didn't ask any more questions and just comforted her silently.

The whole family got up early the next day. Even little Tuanzi woke up early and pointed at the cloth piled on the table in the yard by Tang Peipei.

"Look, little Dumpling knows he's going to his great-grandfather's house, and he's so happy that he's talking a lot."

Little Tuanzi is now half a year old, and it is time for him to learn to talk and sit.

"Mom, I'll go rent a car first."

"Okay, go ahead. Come back soon, get on the road early, and you can help make lunch."

In fact, people in rural areas now only eat two meals a day and do not eat at noon. Tang's mother wanted to go earlier so that the family could be prepared. Otherwise, if she was late, the whole family would be in a hurry.

"okay, I get it."

Tang Peipei went directly to the carriage and horse shop.

"Young lady, how can I help you?" a waiter came forward and greeted.

"I want to hire a carriage."

"Okay, please follow me." The waiter took Tang Peipei into the inner hall.

There are several tables in the inner hall, similar to a modern office.

The waiter sat down at a table and asked Tang Peipei to sit down too.

"Young lady, we need to sign some paperwork to rent a carriage. How long do you need it for?"

Tang Peipei: "One to two days."

The waiter continued, "It's like this. The rental price of a carriage from our company is about one tael of silver per day. You also need to pay a ten tael of silver insurance premium, which will be refunded to you when you return the carriage. Is that okay with you?"

Tang Peipei didn't expect it to be so expensive, and thought for a moment: "What's the price of your carriage?"

The waiter looked at Tang Peipei and said, "It depends on which car you choose. The general price is about eighteen taels."
