As for the lunch break, he would naturally go when the time came.
“Madam, I’ll go to the village to see if there are any ripe grapefruits.” Madam Hu had already changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes, her head was still wrapped in a handkerchief, and she was wearing long boots. Although it was a little hot, she was not worried that the branches would scratch her clothes.
“It’s too hot now. There’s no hurry to go.” Ye Muyu planned to sell the honey grapefruit tea tomorrow and confirm the price before continuing to make it. As for the grapefruits bought in the village, they would not be wasted if they were eaten by themselves.
Madam Hu knew that Ye Muyu was understanding. She thought about it and did not go out immediately. Instead, she washed her clothes in the courtyard. Ye Muyu returned to the east wing, took off her coat, and began her afternoon nap.
Ye Muyu returned to the east wing, took off her coat, and began her afternoon nap.
After waking up, it was just past the hottest period.
She got up and put on her clothes.
The afternoon passed while she tried to make ink. Madam Hu stayed at home to make honey grapefruit tea. The grapefruits used were bought in the village, and they were slightly inferior.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shu went out to mow the grass and asked if there were any ripe grapefruits for sale.
The village was still very lively because of Master Lin.
The old residence was also very lively.
Chu Sheng and Chu Ming were also at home. They did not have to go to school in the afternoon, so Madam Liu called them over to make pickled cabbages.
“Mother, where should Ah Ming and Ah Sheng go to school in the future?” Madam Zhang was an impatient person. After knowing that Teacher Lin might be leaving, she became anxious. At noon, she even ran to Teacher Lin to ask.
However, there were too many people in the afternoon. She only squeezed in to ask a question and was already extremely hot.
She only came back from the school after Teacher Lin said that he was willing to find other teachers to replace him.
She valued her daughter’s marriage, but she valued her two sons’ studies more.
In fact, she had long wanted to send her two sons to study in the county.
They had a house in the county, so it would be convenient for them to send their two sons to the county school. Previously, they did not have much savings at home. Moreover, Chu Heng said that Teacher Lin taught them well. They were still considered young to take the scholar examination at the age of fifteen. Their two sons had not accumulated enough knowledge, so they would not pass the scholar examination.
It was better to learn more for two more years.
Although she was envious of Chu Heng’s high status in the clan after he became an elementary scholar, ever since Ye Muyu had given her the pickled cabbage recipe, her family had a lot of savings. Although she was envious of Chu Heng now, she also felt that his words were more reasonable and was willing to listen.
As for the little bit of jealousy and hatred he had for Madam Ye, it had long disappeared without a trace.
However, things were different now. They had money at home, and Teacher Lin was about to leave. She wanted to send her two sons to the county school to study, so she went to Teacher Lin and asked him if he was leaving.
After getting the answer, she came back to discuss it with Chu Lin.
After that, she mentioned this matter to Chu Zhiwen and Madam Liu.
When Madam Liu heard this, she glanced at her and her two grandchildren, who were looking at her expectantly and nervously and instantly understood.
“What do you and Chu Lin think?” Madam Liu threw the question at her.
“Mother, my husband, and I want Ah Ming and Ah Sheng to go directly to the county school to study.”
“When the time comes, whether they live in the county directly or my husband sends them over every day, it’ll be convenient. We already have an ox cart at home, so it’s much more convenient than in previous years.”
Madam Zhang was also smart, so she revealed her thoughts..
