The Little Landlord of Transmigration

51 Chapter 51

Maybe it's because people are in good spirits on happy occasions. Ever since Xu Lingyuan agreed to the private school, the patriarch's illness has gone away quickly. In just a few days, the relevant matters have been roughly discussed.

Because there is no room to spare for the time being, after Xu Lingyuan's suggestion, the private school was first set up in the main room of his house. Not only is there a lot of space, but it is useless if there are few people.Considering that he has just recovered from a serious illness, and that the children in the village are used to being free at ordinary times, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to adapt for a while, and also that the autumn harvest is coming soon, so they need to help a little bit, so I decided to teach some things casually first, and wait until the busyness is over. After the autumn harvest, the class will officially start again.

Xu Lingyuan was very satisfied with this.Although the promise was very easy at the time, but when I thought about being a teacher, I was inevitably a little nervous, so I could use this time to prepare.But to his surprise, the people in the village paid more attention to it than he did. Although it was officially started after the autumn harvest, since the agreement was made, people brought their own children to him from time to time, so he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

And although the rural people don't have any precious things, they are simple and kind, and they will always send some things to express their gratitude when they come. Most of them are chickens, ducks and eggs. As for the poultry, Xu Lingyuan was moved, but also felt that he was probably the most unpopular person in the village.

Now that the attention has been paid, some preparatory work must be done in advance.Since the villagers did not understand these things and were not familiar with the city, after discussing with the patriarch, Xu Lingyuan fully agreed and decided to go to the city to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. They couldn't just let them practice on the ground all the time.

"Can you go by yourself?" A Qi asked him after he had finished practicing calligraphy in the room, thinking that he would be leaving again tomorrow morning.

"It's okay, and I don't need to carry it on my back, just put it on the carriage." Xu Lingyuan, who was thinking about how much to buy, raised his head and said to him.

"I..." A Qi seemed to want to ask him something, but he didn't continue after watching him for a long time.

"What's the matter, just say what you want to say, I forgive you for your innocence." I raised my head and waited for a long time without waiting for a result, but seeing the hesitation on the other party's face, I couldn't get angry, so I half encouraged and half joked explain.

"I want to ask you... how is your mother treating you?" Seeing that he really didn't look angry, A Qi finally summoned up his courage and asked.

"Huh? Why do you ask that?" Xu Lingyuan was a little surprised. Although he himself was a little confused, he had never said anything to A Qi, so he didn't understand why he asked this suddenly.

"It's nothing, it's strange that you are sick every time you come back." A Qi said while thinking, his tone full of worry and worry, "You said she was not your mother, so I just wanted to..."

"Well, I've thought about it too, but I don't have any clues. Isn't everything all right now? I'll pay attention to it in the future." Seeing his embarrassment because of his baseless guess, Xu Lingyuan didn't want to hide it from him. , I confessed it, and comforted him by the way.

"She really..." When he heard Xu Lingyuan say this, he who was still blaming himself immediately said with shock and anxiety.

"I just thought about it that way." Xu Lingyuan shook his head, and the troubles in his heart eased a lot along with his worries.

"Then you..." He was at a loss because he couldn't help much.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Xu Lingyuan smiled and comforted him again.

Since he started to suspect, he has thought about his situation in Xu's house carefully, but he didn't find any clues.E-Mu even mixed the supplements from Xu's mother into the chicken food, and took a chicken for experimentation, but it turned out that there was no problem with those things.Therefore, Xu Lingyuan could only put it aside for the time being, but if it was really what he had guessed, he would figure it out one day.

"Will E-Mu go with you?" Although he seemed to have no problem at all, A Qi still asked a little worriedly.

"It's okay. I just went shopping, and I came back after shopping. I didn't plan to go back." Xu Lingyuan explained carefully. Seeing that he was still worried, he remembered what his mother said that day, so he teased him: "If your mother knows that you care about me so much, she should say that you don't care about your younger siblings, as if I really abducted you."

Looking at him with a narrow face, A Qi smiled helplessly and embarrassedly, and then went to clean up the things on the table.

"Aqi, you..."

"Young master, the patriarch said he has something to look for you." Ah Mu suddenly shouted outside.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask A Qi too.Through contact with A Qi's mother, he became more and more curious about their family's situation.At first, I thought it was someone else's private matter, but if A Qi didn't say anything, he was too embarrassed to ask, but since A Qi asked him just now, it's okay for him to care about it.But I didn't expect to be interrupted as soon as I opened my mouth, so I can only look for another chance next time.

The patriarch came here to give the money. Xu Lingyuan originally planned to calculate it after he came back, but he didn't expect that the patriarch had already made the preparations quietly. Now that they had sent them all, seeing that they trusted him so much, he didn't refuse. Just make up less.

Seeing that he accepted it, the patriarch didn't delay much, and went back after saying a few words of thanks.It was getting late at this time, and A Qi was ready to go back.

"Aqi, why don't you come with me tomorrow? Just help me get things." Seeing him looking at himself from time to time, Xu Lingyuan realized that he was still worried about himself, so he suddenly decided.Then, seeing his conflicted look, he said again: "Go back and tell the patriarch for me, just say that I want you and Agui to go with me, anyway, there is nothing wrong with such a hot day."

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, A Qi nodded and left with a smile.

Since the Dragon Boat Festival, A Ming has completely replaced Chang Sheng and has been in charge of the carriage, not only driving the carriage, but also taking care of the horses.Therefore, when we left the next day, the carriage was full of children.Moreover, Xu Lingyuan originally only said that Agui and Aqi would follow, but when they came, there were three more. It was obvious that Agui recruited them, but he set off together without saying anything.

While on the way, he was still thinking that the Xu family might not go back, but after the shopping was finished, he still wanted to go to the fourth uncle's to have a look.After such a long time, I don't know how the preserved fruit is selling.

But as soon as they passed the door of the fourth uncle's house, they were stopped by the fourth aunt who was watching the stall outside. At her insistence, they decided to sit in the house for a while and ask about the recent situation by the way.

Unexpectedly, when he asked such a question, he asked some unexpected questions instead.

It turned out that since the spread of the preserved fruit, the uncle and the others also came to buy it, and the fourth uncle and the others thought that they were all a family, so they confiscated the money at the beginning and gave them some.But since then, they have completely regarded the things in the store as free. Children from various families come to get them from time to time, even eating and ruining them. It sold quickly, and they complained about the lack of giving, let alone raising money. They had no choice but to endure it, because Xu Lingyuan was recovering from illness, so they didn't intend to tell him.

"There is actually someone with a thicker skin than Ah Gui." Ah Shan, who was gnawing on a pear, sighed after hearing this.

"Get out, don't you eat yourself too!" Agui said with a blushing face, and then said angrily, "If I, if they come again, I will use a big broom to drive them out, so that it won't be cheap for them."

The fourth aunt just smiled when she heard this, and didn't say much.Xu Lingyuan also understood that this kind of thing should be endured so aggrievedly. Once it is said, the relationship will inevitably break up. If this is the case, it will be fine. It is estimated that with the character of the fourth uncle and his wife, they will bite back. , Say something like profit-seeking and forgetting righteousness.

"We also feel that having such relatives is better than not having them, but when the critical moment comes, we are embarrassed to say so. Fortunately, you are not here, so don't be so angry with us." The fourth aunt saw that he hadn't spoken, a little I'm sorry to say, after all, he was the one who came up with the idea, and it would be detrimental to his interests if it continued like this.

"You and uncle are so kind-hearted. They always say that suffering is a blessing, but sometimes you can even recruit ghosts." Han Sheng, who was in charge of the counter in the room, said dissatisfied, obviously because those people were too much up.

"Alas..." Fourth Aunt just sighed helplessly.

"We still have to go shopping on the street, and we'll see you later." Xu Lingyuan said silently.Instead of sitting here and worrying, it is better to think about the solution.But since the fourth aunt and the others are also very dissatisfied, it is not difficult to solve it, but how to find them?He couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he decided to go to the business first.

The shopping was quick, but this was their first time in the city, so they were all new to everything. After shopping around the street, it was time to eat. After being excited all morning, several people were already hungry. So he asked Amin to go in the direction he pointed, looking for a place to eat for free.

When he came out from the fourth aunt's house, the fourth aunt was going to prepare meals, but seeing that they were still busy with business, he refused because he had a lot of things to buy, and he didn't know when he would come back, and before she could get the money, he came over. A group of people just walked away.The rest of the people didn't expect that they would eat in the city. Tolerating a meal was nothing to them, but for Xu Lingyuan, there was a place where they could eat for free, so why not do it?

A few people were facing a large table of meals that they had never heard of. At the beginning, they were a little worried about money. After hearing Xu Lingyuan say that it was free, they started eating with confidence. Only Xu Lingyuan noticed the sound coming from not far away. The dissatisfied gaze, but he didn't take it to heart, and happily taught them to eat improved roast duck.

"The academy is not on vacation today, why are you here?" After eating, the owner of that dissatisfied gaze finally came over.

"I don't need to study anymore, so of course I don't have to go every day. Now you can even learn to eat and drink with the cheek." The other party glanced at him and said with some contempt.

"Zhao Zian, aren't you getting more and more petty? If you feel distressed, you can deduct it from my salary. I won't feel distressed." Seeing that the other people were a little embarrassed by what he said, they all sent Looking at himself, as if he brought them here to cheat food and drink, Xu Lingyuan said not very politely.

"Hmph, you're the only one who can read those idle books. No wonder you've ruined your head. Don't worry, I won't be so fussy." I'm getting used to Xu Lingyuan now, knowing that I can't bully him like before, he He just said it angrily.

"That's good, let's take a few more roast ducks away." Xu Lingyuan took the opportunity to say with a smile, and decided to take them back for Amu and the others to taste.

"Understood. Do you still want to stay in that remote place?" He looked at the few people following Xu Lingyuan and asked in confusion.If he was allowed to go, he would definitely not be used to living in it. I heard that people in the country are all disheveled and barefoot, very rough, and the food and accommodation must not be much better.

"Why, do you have an opinion?" Xu Lingyuan asked not very concerned.

"You are free, it has nothing to do with me. But after a while, there will be fewer types of dishes. Brother wants me to ask you if you can come up with some dishes that are not affected by the seasons, and he will give you extra rewards." Yes, although we know you didn't do it for this." Zhao Zian suddenly became serious when he thought of what his elder brother had entrusted to him.

"Well, let me go back and think about it." Xu Lingyuan said thoughtfully.This place is not like modern times. The various dishes are basically not affected by the seasons. When the weather gradually gets colder, due to the lack of ingredients, many dishes will naturally not be able to be prepared. But considering it so early, it is worthy of doing business.

"Aren't you very smart? How could you forget so quickly?" Although he knew it would be difficult to please him, Zhao Zian couldn't help but provoke him.

"That's better than some people who only know how to eat." Xu Lingyuan replied without hesitation, and then left with the prepared things, "I will tell you when I think about it."

Coming out of the restaurant, Xu Lingyuan's mood improved a lot, but it didn't last long before being broken again.

Xu Lingyuan was still thinking about how to find them, but he didn't expect that they would come to his door not long ago.It turned out that as soon as I walked to the door, I saw a group of children making noise in the shop. They were all relatively young, and the oldest was about eight years old. Just looking at the situation inside the house, Xu Lingyuan seemed to have returned to the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, standing at the door of his residence It's just that even adults are present this time.But this is just right, and it will save someone from being wronged later.
