Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Well... my grandson will have to go to school in two years..." Shopkeeper Lin said slowly, stroking his beard.

"It's a coincidence that if you want to learn, you should go to the best teacher in the city."

Du Wenxiu slammed the table suddenly, giving Manager Lin a fright.

She moved closer to Shopkeeper Lin and said in a low voice:

"I'm afraid Manager Lin doesn't know yet, but the teacher who has taught the most scholars in the city doesn't get along with the one in Shihe Town School."

Yue Niang's eyes lit up and she chimed in, "What he meant was that if you study in this school first, he won't accept you if you go back."

Shopkeeper Lin raised his eyebrows, and the waiter from Shunfulou brought over two plates of food, shouted to put them down, interrupting the conversation of several people.

"Where did you two ladies hear this?" Du Wenxiu understood and it was clear from the look on his face that they didn't believe it.

He glanced at Yue Niang, who had a mysterious smile on her face.

"Have you heard about the disturbance I caused at Shihe Town School a few days ago?"

"Oh, that heroic woman turns out to be Madam An!" Shopkeeper Lin said in surprise.

It turned out that it was just heard that a female demon caused a big disturbance in the town's school, and made the teacher faint on the ground due to anger, and the school was closed for three days.

Now I know that this she-demon is actually the woman in front of me, and I can't help but feel more respect for her.

Yue Niang said proudly, "It was me. The news that I pissed off the teacher spread to the city in less than half a day. It turned out that he was afraid that the teacher would think that my family was vicious and that it would be difficult to find a school."

"But when the gentleman heard that the child was from my family, he immediately accepted the child. He also said that he would definitely not accept other students who transferred from Shihe Town."

"It's just because I had a dirty deal with the gentleman from Shihe Town when I was young, and I despise him as a person."

As a local born and raised in Shihe Town, Manager Lin had of course heard about what kind of person the teacher at Shihe Town School was.

I was originally hesitant about whether to send my grandson to study for two years, but now that this has happened, I naturally don't dare to send him there.

"Let's put it this way, ladies. If I bring my family into the city, the arrangements for food and accommodation..." Shopkeeper Lin's heart, which had been restless, could no longer hold on.

Du Wenxiu and Yue Niang looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.

"If Shopkeeper Lin brings his family with him, he can rent a small house nearby to live with his family. That will solve the housing problem, right?"

What Yue Niang meant was that now that she had a place to live, she could just cook for herself.

Shopkeeper Lin pondered for a moment, thinking that he was less than fifty miles away and he was unwilling to stay at home idle.

Moreover, if he goes to the city, my son will have more opportunities to drive a cart or transport goods than in this town.

He immediately made the decision and agreed to work at Zang Yaxuan.

Du Wenxiu and his companions also felt that things were going well and were in a good mood. They had a very enjoyable meal, and both the host and the guests enjoyed it very much.

Finally, he also told Manager Lin to report to the restaurant early and not to delay for too long.

Shopkeeper Lin agreed repeatedly, which put the two women at ease. They reluctantly said goodbye to Shopkeeper Lin and went home.

"Everything went much more smoothly today and everyone is happy." Du Wenxiu stretched lazily in the car without caring about his image and said with emotion.

"I thought it would be useful to say this. He is almost fifty years old. Even if he has two granddaughters, he should have a grandson who will go to school."

"As expected, we both had a plan in mind and won the first battle. It's cause for celebration." Yue Niang was so happy that she danced with joy, but she saw Du Wenxiu looking at her with a smile on his face.

"What? Is there any residue on my face?" She reached out and wiped her face, but there was nothing.

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "My Yue Niang knows more and more idioms and allusions now. It is true that he who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black."

"Your Master Chi is so knowledgeable and talented that he finally brought our Yue Niang out..."

Yue Niang was proud at first, then stunned, and then came to her senses and pounced on Du Wenxiu with her teeth and claws bared.

For a while, the carriage was shaking constantly, and some sounds of laughter and begging for mercy were heard.

Chi Linghua was riding a horse at the side, without making any movements, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was in a very happy mood.

Having solved a big problem in my mind, I can finally have a good rest when I go back.

When I got home, I saw a bamboo mat spread in the yard as soon as I entered the door. Haisheng was lying on it, having fun, grinning.

Qi Sanniang and A'luo sat on each side, teasing him and picking vegetables in their hands, looking very comfortable.

He turned around and saw Du Wenxiu coming back, and went to greet him with a smile.

"I'll go change my clothes and then come back to pick him up." Du Wenxiu hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the two men's shoulders, then went straight to the main room.

Haisheng was lying on the mat, having fun and feeling cool, so Qi Sanniang stopped hugging her and followed her into the main room, stopping outside the curtain.

"Did you have a smooth journey back home? You must be exhausted," Qi Sanniang asked in a gentle voice.

Looking at the pair of feet standing outside the curtain, Du Wenxiu let out a long sigh and said, "It went smoothly, but I am indeed a little tired."

"Why don't you just take a nap and I'll call you at dinner time."

Du Wenxiu took out the clothes and Qi Sanniang reached out to take them. It was such a hot day that the clothes were already wet.

"It's indeed hard work. Don't you want to take a nap?" Qi Sanniang smacked her lips and asked Du Wenxiu.

She walked out of the main room and walked towards Haisheng: "You've only done a little bit of work and you're already so spoiled. You'll be tired later."

"Don't force yourself. This woman has already lost her vitality after giving birth. Otherwise, go back to the workshop and ask Madam Cheng to adjust it for you."

Ah Luo also looked at her worriedly, but saw Du Wenxiu smiled helplessly and said:

"If I meet her, I'm afraid she'll blame me for not taking good care of my body. I'd better not listen to her nagging, or she'll get angry again."

"You deserve it. We cooked it all, but you refused to eat it. That big casserole became a good thing for Chan'er and me. Now we are both getting stronger and stronger."

A Luo refused and kept trying to persuade Du Wenxiu to ask Madam Cheng for a prescription. Du Wenxiu was so tired from the bumpy journey that he had no energy to listen to her nagging.

I could only respond lazily and try to get away with it first.

After a while, A'Luo was still talking nonstop. Du Wenxiu was lying on a lounge chair under the tree to enjoy the cool air. He responded intermittently, but finally fell silent.

When I turned around, I saw that he had fallen asleep.

A Luo quickly stopped talking, went into the house to get a small mattress and gently placed it on her stomach to prevent her from catching a cold.

"She is also exhausted today." The two spoke softly, their movements becoming more and more light.

After a while, Haisheng was tired from playing and fell into a deep sleep. The two of them fell silent and stopped talking.

The courtyard became increasingly quiet, with cicadas chirping from afar from time to time.

The hot sun gradually set in the west and a cool breeze slowly came. Old Yang, who was guarding the front yard, came to report that it was Lu Sangui who came to visit.

Du Wenxiu had rested by now. He opened his eyes and hurriedly asked Old Yang to invite him in.

Lu Sangui came in sweating profusely, holding a watermelon in his arms.

"What are you talking about? I have to bring things when I come to my house." Du Wenxiu stood up and greeted him.
