Xiaoxiao then looked around and realized everyone was staring at them with strange looks.
What’s going on here? Was it because the conversation she had with Yang Dong was too loud?
She imdiately lowered her voice, "Yang Ming, for the fourth brother and the three little ones, where do we plan to take them for their enlightennt education?"
She had wanted to send Yang Qiu as well, but given her condition, it was better not to. It would be more stable for her to stay at ho and do so embroidery work with them.
"For enlightennt, just send them to the town. There is a specialized teacher for enlightennt there."
"To the town, that’s great! This way, they can all co ho to sleep. I thought we would have to send them to the county town!"
Xiaoxiao had been worrying. If, like Yang Ming, they all had to stay in the county town, they would have had to rent a place there; and with several people, it would be easier to look after them. Fortunately, it was just to the town, not too far away, so they could co ho to stay.
"..." Aside from him, she seed happy about anyone going ho to sleep.
As Yang Ming thought this, he heard his younger brother say sothing like, "We can still go ho to stay even if it’s in the county town."
"..." What is the fourth brother talking about? Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming both looked up at Yang Dong in unison.
"We have an ox cart now! Although it’s slow, our ho is close to the county town, a round trip is just about one and a half hours."
Thinking that his older brother and sister-in-law didn’t understand, Yang Dong explained it specifically again and even sighed at the end, "If we had bought a horse carriage, it would be even faster!"
"..." Hey, hey, hey, what is Yang Dong talking about? Xiaoxiao felt that taking Yang Dong with her had been a huge mistake. It had been so hard for her husband to finally get out to live here; she didn’t want his words to be the reason they went back to staying at ho.
One and a half hours would be three hours round trip, just on the road. What a joke, are they kidding? Could they even study at all?
Having heard this, Yang Ming started to see his younger brother in a better light. Since their ho wasn’t far from the county town, he could also go ho to stay occasionally. His previously dim expression started to gain so color.
"That’s not possible. Spring planting is coming up soon. The ox cart needs to be used for work. There’s no ti to haul you around." Xiaoxiao imdiately dismissed the idea. No way was she going to let her husband get off too easy and return ho to stay.
"..." He hadn’t even ntioned wanting to go back to stay, and his wife had already rejected the idea. She really seed unwilling to live with him, "I don’t need the ox cart."
"No, you’re not walking either. Just stay put at the Academy!"
"... "
"You would waste an hour and a half just traveling every day. Your classmates would have an extra hour and a half over you. How could you possibly catch up with them in your studies? Do you still want to study properly or not?"
"..." She made a good point, but he felt that he could focus on his studies more if he went ho and watched over his wife rather than staying at the Academy missing her.
"So when do we plan to take them for their enlightennt?"
It had beco a habit for Xiaoxiao to consult Yang Ming on everything, but then she realized that he was studying now and she couldn’t bother him with everything. Without waiting for Yang Ming to speak, she added,
"Never mind, I’ll take them myself. You don’t have to take any more leave, just focus on your studies."
"..." What could he say? Indeed, he shouldn’t take any more leave. Having taken so many days off, the teacher was already quite angry, so he could only agree.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble."
Xiaoxiao and Yang Dong continued their conversation without any delay in eating their noodles; both had finished their al, but Yang Ming had hardly touched his., "What’s wrong, don’t you like these noodles?"
"..." It wasn’t that he didn’t like them. How could his wife not understand!
"Eat up, don’t waste it. Wasting food is shaful."
"..."
