Mrs. Wang even complimented them a few times, and all twelve of them reddened in embarrassment.
In the afternoon, the old man also woke up. He knew that he had drunk too much, and was afraid that Mrs. Wang would scold him, so he deliberately avoided Mrs. Wang. It turned out that his wife didn't scold him when she saw him, just like usual. This made him very happy and planned to go to the village chief's house for a stroll.
Qibao was going to go with her grandfather to the wooden house of the village chief's house to see how the house was doing, but to her surprise, Yue Yang and the others kept following her.
Qibao was a little helpless and asked her grandfather to leave first, and then said to them: "You go back to your room and rest for a while. You don't have to follow me all the time."
Yue Xuan scratched the back of his head and said: "Miss, didn't you say you wanted to train us in kung fu? When can you teach us?"
Qibao said: "Well, after you have taken good care of yourself in the past few days and become familiar with the environment at home, let's get started. Oh, by the way, you go to the main hall and wait for me for a while."
When the twelve people saw Qibao leaving, they didn't know what the young miss was going to do, but they still came to the main hall and waited.
After a while, Qibao came in carrying a kettle, poured a cup for everyone, and said: "Drink this, it will be good for your body, and it will also be good for your martial arts practice in the future."
Several people looked at the cup of milky white liquid, they didn't know what it was, but since it was the young miss who asked them to drink it, they didn't hesitate and picked up the cup and drank not a drop left .
Qibao nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that they still trusted her. What she gave them to drink was the undiluted spiritual spring water. In order to avoid suspicion from others, Qibao always put some water in a common water tank at home. There is no difference between diluted and normal water, but still often take a pot of undiluted water for her family to drink, especially her brothers, who usually need more energy not only to practice martial arts, but also to study.
Qibao exclaimed: "You all have to drink it after lunch every day for the past few days. This is a good thing!"
Yue Wu said: "Miss, this water tastes a little sweet, and as soon as I drink it, I feel so comfortable and warm."
"Yeah! I feel that way too!"
Qibao said seriously: "Only I own this thing. Don't mention it to anyone in the future, otherwise it will bring disaster to you and my family!"
Yue Jiao immediately covered her mouth and said quickly: "Miss, I will never tell anyone, not even to death."
"Yes! We will never say a word to anyone else."
Everyone else also looked determined.
Qibao smiled lightly and said: "I believe you. Okay, you go back to the house and rest first. I still have things to do, and you can't help me."
"Oh! Then you go ahead and get busy, miss!" Yue Xuan said.
Qibao nodded, then went out and headed towards the village chief's house. In the distance, she saw her grandfather and the village chief standing together. She didn't know what they were talking about but the villagers on the sidelines were busy in full swing
Qibao walked to her grandfather's side and heard the village chief say: "This is not an option either."
Qibao said doubtfully: "Grandpa, village chief, what's not a solution? Just tell me and I can help you think about it."
The village chief turned his head to look, and suddenly smiled and said: "So it's Qibao girl! I haven't seen you in the past few days. Where have you been?"
Qibao replied: "I went to the town to stay for a few days. Grandpa, village chief, did you encounter any difficulty just now?"
The village chief replied: "It's like this, the village hans go to the greenhouses every morning to finish their work but also busy with the building of the house, sometimes their family members come over to help, the family is left with only a few years old children at home, and there is no time to take care of them. I'm thinking about whether we should build the school first, so that the children can go to school, so that everyone can work without taking care of their children."
Qibao thought about it. Some children like to play in the water this summer. If there are no adults watching, accidents may easily occur. Moreover, the villagers are currently fully engaged in the construction of Xujia Village. It is inevitable that some care will be taken. The village chief has a point.
Qibao said: "Why don't we wait until the village chief's grandpa's wooden house is built, and then we start building a school so that the children can learn to read early."
The village chief asked: "The problem is where can we find a teacher to teach the children?"
Qibao thought for a moment and said, "I'll think of a solution. I'll ask Shopkeeper Tong and Shopkeeper Hong in two days. They also have a lot of news in the town. Even if they don't, the matter will be on me. I'll be the teacher!"
The village chief was a little dumbfounded and said: "Qibao, are you sure you can do it? Some children are taller than you, isn't this..."
When the old man heard this, he immediately stopped and interrupted: "Village chief, don't underestimate my granddaughter. My granddaughter knows everything, why can't she teach?"
The village chief said: "I didn't mean that. How could I underestimate Qibao! What I mean is that Qibao is a child after all. I'm afraid that the children in the village will be naughty and unwilling to obey. Isn't this a headache?"
The old man thought for a while and realized that the village chief's considerations made sense. After all, only adults could control the boys in the village.
Qibao said: "There is no rush now, the construction of this school has not started yet! There is still time, we will definitely find a suitable teacher."
"Alright, I'll trouble Qibao to ask Shopkeeper Hong and the others to inquire about this matter." The village chief said.
Qibao nodded her head and turned her gaze to the place where the villagers were working, and realized that the foundation area was quite large, and thought that there wouldn't be fewer rooms in the future, and when the houses in the village all looked the same, would tourists go the wrong way!
Not long after Qibao and the old man got home, the eldest brother and the others were picked up by their uncle. As soon as they heard that their sister was back, they left their schoolbags and went to find Qibao.
As soon as Xiaowu saw Qibao, he picked up his sister and spun her around.
Xu Wenwu immediately pulled Xiao Wu and said: "Don't drop your sister, quickly put her down."
Xiaowu put down his sister with a silly smile and said: "How could I possibly drop my sister! But sister is a bit heavy."
"What? What did you say, Fifth Brother? I'd better lose weight then, I won't eat that much in the future." Qibao said helplessly.
"You brat! What are you talking about! Why is Qibao so heavy? She looks just right this way. If you can't speak, don't speak!" Mrs. Wang immediately cursed, then hugged Qibao and said: "Qibao, don't listen to your fifth brother's nonsense. It doesn't feel heavy at all when I hold you. You must not stop eating. If you lose weight due to hunger, your grandma will be heartbroken to death!"
Xu Dabo hurriedly grabbed Xiao Wu's ears and said: "You brat, stop talking if you are unable to speak! What's so heavy about your sister? You're deliberately giving Qibao a hard time, if Qibao doesn't eat because of this, I'll skin you."
Xiaowu quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I meant that my sister has grown taller. I didn't mean to say that my sister is fat. Everyone can see whether my sister is fat or not. How could I be stupid enough to say it to make my sister unhappy?"
The more Qibao listened, the more worried she became. She wasn't fat, she was baby fat, so she said: "You are a straight man, don't even think about finding a wife in the future!"
Xiaowu said doubtfully: "Sister, what do you mean by straight man? But if I don't find a wife, I won't find a wife. Then I won't have to be scolded by my wife like my father." After saying that, he laughed.
"You stupid boy, what are you talking about? When did I criticize your father?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately scolded.
Xiaowu scratched his forehead and said: "I heard you, you called father a stupid ass, that he couldn't do anything right, and that he was useless and couldn't let you caring a sweet daughter, I heard you!"
