The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 138 It's time to leave home
Wen Zhuoxiu ran all the way to the courtyard where his brothers lived, afraid that his parents would find out that he was eavesdropping, and even more afraid that his mother really didn't want them.

But when he ran to the courtyard where the brothers lived, Wen Zhuoxiu was stunned by the puzzled eyes of the brothers.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"

Wen Zhuoran, as the boss and a compatriot of Wen Zhuoxiu's mother, saw him running in such a panic, immediately got up and left the book and walked to him.

The other boys of the Wen family also put down their books and looked at Wen Zhuoxiu in puzzlement, asking him what was wrong.

When he suddenly heard what his mother said just now, he was suddenly scared and ran back, but now that he calmed down and thought about it, he felt that things might not be that simple.

After Wen Zhuoxiu explained the matter, Wen Zhuoran smiled and gave him a light slap and said, "You must be worrying for nothing. Mother must be going back to Songjia Village because of the girls' school in Songjia Village."

Wen Zhuoran, as the eldest of the Wen family's generation, is now 12 years old and has more things to think about than his younger brothers.

When he said this, Wen Zhuoxiu was also taken aback for a moment, he seemed to have heard his mother talking about his aunt just now.

Seeing Wen Zhuoxiu's face, everyone couldn't understand how they could not understand, and immediately sat down again.

"But this women's school is really good, but unfortunately, we can't go to school."

"It's not bad, but I heard from my mother that it's not a serious class, and it's not like we read so many books. They only need to learn to read and learn other things."

Because Wen Xu is the regular teacher of the women's school, as her son, Wen Zhuoming knows more than other brothers.

After hearing Wen Zhuoming's words, the others were not so envious, but they were still not very happy when they thought that their mother (auntie) was leaving the academy.

After all, there is a mother (eldest aunt) around, and their lives are well taken care of.

Wen Bao didn't know the turmoil caused by her two letters in the county and the town. After teaching the two letters, she went to the construction site of the college to see the college that had been built.

When Master Zhou saw Wen Baolai, he immediately called out to her, "Ms. Tuantuan, come here."

Wen Bao was taken aback when she heard Master Zhou's address. She was used to being called "Wen's girl" and "Da Lang's wife", but she still couldn't adapt well to the "Tuan Tuan Niang".

"Master Zhou."

"You just came here, otherwise I would still want to find you."

Although Wen Bao was surprised when he heard Master Zhou's words, he followed the direction of his finger and saw a middle-aged man standing beside Master Zhou.

"Ms. Tuantuan, this is Master Qiu who specializes in making furniture. Don't you want to make furniture? Ask him to do it. The price is cheap, and the work is good."

After hearing what he said, Master Qiu, who was next to Master Zhou, smiled and beat him around, then looked at Wen Bao and said, "Old Zhou told me about this academy. You don't need to carve or etc. to make furniture for this academy. My A few apprentices can do it, and they don’t need wages, just food.”

Upon hearing Master Qiu's words, Wen Bao laughed. This was exactly as she had planned. The furniture in the college did not need to be carved, but numbers would be carved on the furniture in each room.

After Wen Bao said the request, Master Qiu nodded and said, "This is simple, but it may not be possible to do it at the time you want."

Wen Bao also understood that she wanted a lot of desks and bookcases, not to mention that she wanted to start recruiting students in August, and if it was done earlier, the girls living in the county could move in earlier.

"Master Qiu, don't worry, the men in Songjia Village can do some simple carpentry. If they can't do anything else, they can help the little masters.

Meals are three meals a day, all farm meals, the same as what Master Zhou and the others ate before.

As for the wages of the young masters, I have also discussed with Master Liu. Although there is no way to pay according to the masters, there will still be a gift of thanks after the furniture is finished. "

Wen Bao didn't hide it either, and told them everything they could do here.

Master Qiu can be regarded as half of Master Zhou's younger brother, otherwise Master Zhou would not have introduced this job to Master Qiu.

"Then these boys are blessed."

After negotiating about making furniture, Wen Bao took another look at the decoration of the academy.

Curtains, bed sheets, etc., except for the ones used by these girls, the new ones are old cloths sent by several cloth merchants in the county.

Although the color is not good-looking, Wen Bao has seen that it is very durable, and the school uniforms for the children in the future, Wen Bao also designed them for Master Liu.

The all-white plain cloth is not only cheap, but also with ribbons and patterns of different colors, it is easy to distinguish the age and class of the girls.

Wen Bao's suggestion is that girls make two sets of autumn clothes for themselves first, and then choose what to study according to their interests when the college is confirmed to start.At that time, it is enough to match the satin ribbon and embroider simple patterns.

"Mother, mother, grandpa said that he would take me to the town to play tomorrow."

As soon as Wen Bao came home from outside, he bumped into Tuantuan who wanted to look for her. He caught Tuantuan, hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, and then asked, "How can grandpa take you to the town? Is grandma going?"

"Go, grandma said that the second aunt is going to give birth to a younger brother."

Just after Tuantuan finished speaking, Wen Bao remembered that her second sister-in-law was also aged.

Wen Bao didn't go home, and went directly to Wen's house with Tuantuan in his arms.

"Mother, isn't the second sister-in-law only a few days away?"

When Wen Bao arrived at Wen's house, she saw that she was packing her luggage. She put down the ball and walked towards Wu Shi.

"Yes, there are still some days, but she is a month old now, and it is not suitable to go to the store again. Your father and I will go back, and it will be convenient for me to help look after the store or take care of her body."

After Wu's finished speaking, she continued: "You and Da Lang are both busy, so your father and I plan to go back this time and bring Tuan Tuan back, and send Tuan Tuan back after you have been busy for a while."

Mrs. Wu looked at Wen Bao with distress, she had lost so much weight, and the youngest was only a few months old, and there was a plum blossom who had just become a mother. Although there was Mrs. Xue and his family at home, the couple had to take care of the fields. Nobody cares anymore.

In fact, Mrs. Wu is just reluctant to part with Tuan Tuan. Although Wen Bao and Song Dalang are busy, they still have time to take care of Tuan Tuan.

But Wen Bao also saw her mother's reluctance to Tuantuan, not to mention Tuantuan also wanted to leave relatives.

"Then I'll go back and pack some clothes for Tuantuan."

After hearing Wen Bao's words, both Wu and Tuantuan became happy, especially Tuantuan, who hugged Wen Bao's leg and kept calling her mother.

"Okay, okay, mother knows you are happy, go with grandma to be obedient, understand?"

"Know!"

Tuantuan is now a lively and active age, and it is normal to want to go out to play. Wen Bao dotes on children no less than Song Dalang, so he will naturally agree.

Song Dalang knew that Tuantuan was going to leave home to visit relatives, his heart was sour, and somehow he thought of the scene of Tuantuan getting married in the future.

Lying on the bed at night, Song Dalang put his arms around Wen Bao, and said, "Seeing Tuantuan packing up clothes and toys so happily today, I understand why my father-in-law and uncles looked at you like that when I married you. I."

Hearing Song Dalang's words, Wen Bao just felt like laughing, but she also understood this feeling.

"Our family is squeamish, I must keep her for a few more years."

Wen Bao's saying that Tuantuan is coquettish is actually an excuse, she doesn't want to part with Tuantuan, that's why she said that.

Song Dalang naturally understood Wen Bao's thoughts, and the couple discussed staying in Tuantuan for a few more years, and they didn't get busy with their son until Fatty woke up hungry and crying.

Naturally, Tuantuan didn't know these things. After she came to the town happily and was warmly welcomed by her second uncle and second aunt, the second aunt put her arms around her every day and asked her to call her "sister" to her belly.

After Tuantuan resolutely rejected the second aunt's request, he couldn't bear the second aunt's sadness, so he insisted on calling her "brother" to her stomach every day.

After Tuantuan left home, Wen Bao and Song Dalang's family didn't get used to it for three days, and they had no time to take care of Tuantuan, because the summer harvest was about to begin.

Last winter, there were almost no wheat growers in Nanning County, and most of them planted cabbage. After harvesting cabbage, many people also tried to grow other winter vegetables.

Since the beginning of spring, although not much grain has been planted in Nanning County, a lot of other crops have been planted.

After all, half of the land in Nanning County is not paddy fields, so there is no way to grow rice. Although some people grow upland rice, it is not much after all.

According to Master Liu's discussion with Wen Bao at the beginning, no matter what the summer harvest was, they would keep it for their own use or sell it for money, so they quickly cleaned up the land and planted grain, and took care of it for a few months. When autumn came, the grain would be theirs. This year's taxes.

At this busy time, Master Liu still took a day to come to Songjia Village.

"Uncle Liu, you are here."

Wen Bao saw Master Liu walking up to meet him quickly, if he didn't come, she would have to go to the county.

Master Liu didn't know why Wen Bao was so eager to see him, but he still asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
