Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 116 Expand

While they were talking, Song Ying said goodbye to Yuan Qing and rushed home with Song Yuan.

The time at noon was very urgent, only half an hour. After lunch, Song Yuan had to be sent over immediately.

In the afternoon, Song Ying picked up firewood and did not go to collect herbs. Instead, she avoided other girls and found a place to quietly read "A Collection of Hundred Medicinal Herbs", selecting the words she did not recognize and trying hard to remember them.

When it was almost time to leave school, she found the other girls and said, "I have to go pick up my brother, so I'll leave first. My firewood is here, you don't have to worry about it. I'll carry it myself when I come back."

Zhao Xiaocui said, "You have to run back and forth four times a day. It's so troublesome. Why don't you just let him come back with my brother and the others?"

"My grandma and the others are worried, so I'll take him to and from school for a while. Once he's familiar with the world, it won't be too late for him to follow your brother and the others."

When Yuan Qing went to the county to study, Song Ying would of course be happy to take this opportunity, but now, she had to use this legitimate reason to hurry up and find Yuan Qing to teach her how to read.

Zhao Xiaocui shrugged and said, "You are just too responsible, that's why your grandmother and the others completely handed Song Yuan over to you.

In my opinion, you should have let him fall a few times when he was a child. Your grandmother and the others will not trust you to pick him up when he goes to school this time."

Song Ying agreed deeply. She had indeed taken very good care of Song Yuan. From childhood to adulthood, he had never suffered any injuries.

"It's too late to realize it now," she looked at the other girls, "You should learn from my lesson. You can't take care of your younger brother too well."

"Then you will have to run a longer distance," Luo Yanxing frowned. Songlinpo is in the southeast of the village, and Wutong Village is located west of Xinghua Village.

It’s a bit of a detour to go from Wutong Village to Songlinpo and then back to Xinghua Village.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Xiaoxiang and I will help you carry it back. When you come back, just come down from Dongsheng Mountain."

Dongsheng Mountain is a mountain range located at the junction of Xinghua Village and Wutong Village. Most of the mountain is located in Wutong Village, and only a small part is in Xinghua Village.

The name "Dongsheng Mountain" was given by the villagers of Wutong Village because it is located in the east of the village.

Song Ying said without thinking: "Forget it, you have firewood to carry, and you have to carry mine, it must be too heavy.

When I came back, I was just carrying my brother's bookcase, which was very light, so it only took a little effort to run over there."

Luo Yanxing glanced at her tall basket of firewood, then looked at his and Xiaoxiang's full baskets, and said, "Okay, then be careful and don't fall."

Xiaoxiang also said with concern: "Let Xiaocaiyuanzi carry the book box by himself later."

"Okay, got it." Song Ying said as he walked towards Wutong Village.

Watching her go away, Luo Yanxing and Zhao Xiaoxiang both breathed a sigh of relief, finally reducing some of the risks.

Now, Song Ying has a legitimate reason to go to Wutong Village, and Song Yuan and Yuan Qing are classmates. Even if someone sees Song Ying talking to Yuan Qing, he has a reason to excuse himself.

Soon, Yuan Qing would go to the county to study, and these days of anxiety would soon be over!

During this period, Song Ying had already figured out the time when the community school would be dismissed, but she did not go there immediately after the class ended, but was about half a quarter of an hour late.

The students in the community school had almost dispersed. When Song Yuan saw her, he was furious: "Didn't I tell you to come early at noon? Why are you so late again?"

Song Ying said without any guilt: "It's the first day, it's normal to be unsure of the time. I will try to come earlier next time."

As she spoke, she naturally looked towards the classroom door, and sure enough, she saw that Yuan Qing was the last one to come out.

"I'm here to pick up your brother."

"Yes."

Yuan Qing came over and said, "Let's go together."

Song Ying was about to nod, but Song Yuan asked curiously, "Brother Yuan Qing, we are going in different directions. Your family should go this way, but we should go that way."

Yuan Qing remained calm and said, "It's quiet over at Dongsheng Mountain. I'll go there and study for a while. If I read more now before it gets dark, I can save some tuition fees in the evening."

"Tuition fees? What are tuition fees?" Song Yuan asked.

"Gou refers to ointment, and huo refers to lamplight. We, the students, would light lamps to study hard at night, so the cost of studying is represented by huo huo."

Song Yuan said 'Oh', "Then let's go quickly."

When they arrived under the tree where they usually stayed, Song Ying turned around and pointed to a spot halfway up the mountain and said, "I seemed to see a cluster of thorny bubbles there just now."

"Really?" Song Yuan looked in the direction of her finger, but the huge, lush crown of the paulownia tree blocked his view.

"I'm not sure, I just caught a glimpse of a little red."

"That might be it!" Song Yuan became excited, "I'll go pick it!"

After saying this, he ran up the mountain.

Song Ying quickly picked up a branch, squatted down, and quickly wrote down the words he didn't know, "Quick, teach me these words!"

After learning hundreds of characters, she mastered the rules of writing order. Now even if she encounters unfamiliar characters, she can write them in the correct stroke order.

Yuan Qing was stunned by her eagerness and said with a smile, "Don't be so anxious. You already know a lot of words and can handle daily reading without any problems.

I'm just going to the county to study. It's not like we won't meet again in the future. I'll always find a chance to teach you."

Song Ying thought, if she were to read other books on self-cultivation, she would naturally not be in a hurry, but the "Collection of Hundred Medicinal Herbs" that she wanted to read was related to their business of making money, and it was also Lin Wenxuan's book, so she had to return it to him.

This reason naturally could not be told to Yuan Qing, so she said vaguely: "I want to learn more words."

"You are so studious," Yuan Qing sighed, then squatted down, told her the pronunciation one by one, and explained the meaning to her.

As he was talking, he found that he couldn't remember which poem some words came from, so he pointed to one of the words and asked, "Hey, which poem does this word come from?"

"Uh, this..." Song Ying was stuck. She had not yet learned the rest of "Thousands of Poems", so naturally she didn't know which poem contained this word.

But she couldn't say that she didn't know. After all, in Yuan Qing's view, these unfamiliar words were found in "Thousands of Poems".

This is how to do?

Or maybe it was seen on a pillar of a family in the city? But what if there is another situation later?

Moreover, there is naturally a couplet on the pillar. What if Yuan Qing continues to ask about the specific content of the couplet?

Song Ying was overwhelmed. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a suitable reason. Finally, she took out the "Hundred Herbs Collection" and said honestly: "It's not in "Thousands of Poems", it's on it."

"A Collection of Hundred Medicinal Herbs?" Yuan Qing was surprised. "This is a medical book. Are you studying medicine?"

"No, I just know some herbs and pick them to sell."
