Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

After breakfast, add food to the livestock first.

Then I loaded all the things I packed last night into the car.

At this time, there was just a little light in the sky.

Even the chickens in the village haven't crowed yet.

Xia Shengsheng and his family had already set off and headed towards the provincial capital.

If we go to town so early, Master Zhu won't get up.

So everyone went to the provincial capital first to see Yiyi off, then gave Shanshan some things and money, and finally when they came back, they took Ye Chao and Ercheng to the town to pay a visit to Master Zhu.

When we arrived at the city, the city gate had just opened.

Mr. Yu didn't have any classes at that time, so the process of becoming his apprentice was not too complicated.

It was done in less than an incense stick of time.

In addition to the several gifts for becoming a disciple that had been agreed upon yesterday, Xia Shengsheng also brought a basket of fresh fruits.

There are apples, pears, bananas, grapes and so on.

Mr. Yu liked them very much and couldn't put them down when he saw them.

"It's not easy to buy so many fresh fruits at this time. Madam Xia is very thoughtful."

"As long as Mr. Yu likes it..."

Before leaving Mr. Yu's yard, Xia Shengsheng repeatedly explained a lot to Yiyi. Ercheng and Sicheng also talked a lot to Yiyi. Finally, seeing that it was getting late, everyone left reluctantly.

When leaving, Yiyi was also reluctant to leave. She stood at the door and watched for a long time until Xia Shengsheng's donkey cart disappeared, then she went in.

Afterwards, they went to Madam Su's residence, and entered through the same corner gate as before. The gatekeeper led them to the small hall where they had waited before.

But this time Xia Shengsheng did not follow him into the inner courtyard.

Instead, he let Shanshan come out and reunite with everyone.

When Shanshan came out, she had a happy smile on her face and spoke the same way as usual.

Xia Shengsheng felt much more relieved.

Shanshan is four years younger than Yiyi. She stayed in the Su Mansion yesterday and had no buffer.

That whole night Xia Shengsheng was worried that the child would not be able to adapt.

Now that I've met him in person, I feel relieved.

Xia Shengsheng also brought a basket of fresh fruits for Mrs. Su, and the gatekeeper helped to carry it into the inner courtyard.

Not long after, Xier came out to express her gratitude, saying that Mrs. Su liked the fruits that Xia Shengsheng brought very much, and she also brought a return gift to Xia Shengsheng.

They were four sets of four treasures of the study. Although these sets were not particularly valuable, each set would cost at least twenty or thirty taels.

Four sets were given out at once, and Xia Shengsheng couldn't accept the hundreds of taels of stuff.

Xier is a good talker. Under her persuasion, Xia Shengsheng had to accept Mrs. Su's return gift.

Even though Xia Shengsheng knew that Shanshan had everything she needed at Mrs. Su's, he still prepared a lot of things for Shanshan.

In addition to spare clothes and some daily necessities, we also prepared a lot of snacks that are easy to store.

Remind Shanshan to share the food with everyone and get along well with others.

He also left five taels of silver for Shanshan in case of emergency.

Xia Shengsheng also left some money at Yiyi's place.

But by then the two boys won't need to keep so much money. Just a dozen or twenty cents each will be enough.

After all, they both go home every day!

After leaving the Su Mansion, the group returned to the town without stopping.

It was already around ten o'clock in the morning.

It took me nearly six hours to run a lap from around four in the morning.

Master Zhu was teaching a class at this time. Listening to the sound of reading aloud, Xia Shengsheng felt that the atmosphere here was still very good.

However, the two boys were not very happy.

Sicheng was indifferent and happily watched the excitement everywhere, but he also knew his limits.

He just walked back and forth twice within a few meters, and didn't go far.

By the time Master Zhu finished his class, it was almost 11 o'clock.

Xia Shengsheng apologized for being late and explained the reason.

Master Zhu did not care and smoothly arranged the journey to become a disciple.

When Xia Shengsheng presented the apprenticeship gift and fruits, the wrinkles on Master Zhu's face deepened as he smiled.

During the apprenticeship process, the children had all finished their classes.

Many people came to watch the fun.

In the crowd, Xia Shengsheng saw Liu Zhongqiang, the son of Liu Lao Da.

But he ignored him.

After leaving Ye Chao and Er Cheng behind, he agreed on a time to pick them up in the evening, took the only remaining child, bought a few meat buns, and went straight home.

On the way back, Sicheng's mouth was full of oil.

With a full mouth, he was still talking. "Mom, these buns are not as delicious as yours, nor as good as my elder sister's."

Xia Shengsheng ate in small bites while driving the donkey cart.

The buns do taste average, with little seasoning and the meat still has a fishy smell.

But looking at the six big buns in the paper bag, not a single one was left, and she only took the one in her hand to eat, and the rest went into Sicheng's stomach. She couldn't help rolling her eyes at Sicheng.

"You ate so much even though it wasn't tasty. Be careful that your stomach will burst."

Sicheng swallowed the last bite of the bun, took a few sips of water from the water bag, and then said, "Don't worry, mother! My stomach was born to hold food, it won't burst!"

Xia Shengsheng looked at Sicheng's belly, then looked at his head. "Then why isn't your brain born to store knowledge?

What is taught today can be forgotten tomorrow.

Put all the food you eat into your stomach, so that your brain can be freed up for more useful things.

From now on, as long as I have time, I will always watch you study and stop thinking about eating, drinking and playing."

Sicheng only felt sad now.

He had brothers and sisters in the past, but except for his eldest sister, no one liked to study, so he didn't stand out so much.

Now that everyone is away from home and he is the only one left, won’t his mother just pick on him and catch him in the future?

Why is he so miserable?

Xia Shengsheng had just driven into the village when he passed by Lao Liu's house.

Old Mrs. Liu stood in the yard and spat a few times in the direction where Xia Shengsheng left.

"Bah! What a jerk! You want to be a whore and also a saint. If you can't offer such a high price, don't spread the news. My potatoes and sweet potatoes will go to waste."

Boss Liu went to weed the fields, and Liu Zhonghui ran out to play.

Liu Sunshi hasn't come back yet.

Now Liu Zhongsheng is the only one at home.

Listening to his grandmother's yelling and scolding, he felt guilty and hid back in the house, not daring to come out again.

When Xia Shengsheng got home, it was almost the same as last night.

The working woman was already waiting at the door.

"Sister Xia is back! Have you sent the children to school?" The Ma family was the first to greet.

Everyone else also looked at Xia Shengsheng with a smile on their face.

“They were all sent to school.

Sisters-in-law, have you been waiting for a long time? Come in quickly.

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long in such a bright sun! "

Xia Shengsheng quickly opened the door and let everyone in.
