"Believe it or not, go or not go, it's them who decide, not us. With the first batch, there will be a second batch, a third batch. Shen Tong patted Xiaomei's shoulder and comforted her.

From that day on, the little sister didn't say anything, just helped with the soup kitchen, and when a child asked her, she smiled and said, "Ah Shao's illness has been cured, and we can eat enough every day." ”

A few days later, the first batch of forty or so children set off with the county lord of Yining.

They didn't go back to Xi'an, but went to the grange first. Many ladies and ladies in Xi'an have been waiting for a long time, some of them have sent their mothers-in-law and maids, and some have sent their daughters to help the county lord......

The county lord of Yining whispered to Shen Tong: "They are all dressed as if they are going to a banquet, what are they here for?" ”

Shen Tong laughed.

The lord of Yining asked them to leave their things behind, and the maid and the maid and the woman themselves all found an excuse to send them away.

Ah Shao's illness had already recovered, Shen Tong called the three people over and asked, "Do you want to stay here, or leave?" Or if you have any plans, if you want to go to Xi'an to ask for a living, we will take you for a ride. ”

Shen Tong not only fulfilled the agreement to cure Ah Shao's illness, but also raised the three of them well, except that she did not sell them, she did everything she said in the broken alley that day.

These days, except for Xiaomei, she hardly spoke to them, let alone booed the cold and asked for warmth.

The three children glanced at each other, and the little sister reached out to pull Ah Shao's sleeve, Ah Shao was still a little thin, but his face was flushed, and he was already bloody.

The corners of Ah Shao's mouth moved, and he didn't speak, he looked at Han Wuji.

Han Wuji stared at Shen Tong sharply, and after a long while, he said, "We owe you and haven't paid it back yet." ”

Shen Tong smiled: "Let's owe it first." ”

What does it mean to owe first?

Debts always have to be repaid, but not when the time comes?

Or do you owe it for a long time and don't have to pay it back?

"No, we don't owe debt!" Han Wuji's voice has a childlike sharpness, which is not annoying.

"And why are you going to pay it back?" Shen Tong was curious.

"You saved our lives, and we gave you your life." Han Wuji said loudly.

Fang Fei on the side couldn't hold back any longer, she pouted: "My young lady won't want your life." ”

Han Wuji ignored her, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, waiting for Shen Tong to death, with a posture of forcing you to agree if you didn't agree.

The smile on Shen Tong's lips was gone, and her expression was faint: "Oh, okay." ”

Good.

It's as simple as that.

But she didn't say how they would return their lives, she didn't say anything.

From that day on, wherever Shen Tong went, the three children followed, she returned to Xi'an, the three children followed to Shuyuan Street, Xu An vacated a room for them to live in, the rice was cooked, the children came to eat, and they would help set the dishes and chopsticks and wash the dishes, but when they were done, Han Wuji and Ah Shao would take turns patrolling at the door of Shen Tong's house, and Ah Zhi told them to come back, but they ignored it and continued to patrol.

During the day, except for the little sister who followed behind Shen Tong like a plaster, Han Wuji and Ah Shao also took turns to follow, Shen Tong went shopping, they followed from afar, Shen Tong went to the shop, and they stayed outside the shop.

Fang Fei was anxious, crossed her waist and asked, "What are you doing with my young lady all day long?" ”

Han Wuji said coldly: "Wait for her life to be returned." ”

"My young lady is amazing, I don't need your protection, you are almost protected by her." Fang Fei was angry with her own young lady for the first time, and said that she would sell them.

After a while, the little sister came to Shen Tong and said, "Miss Shen, we won't get in the way." ”

Shen Tong sighed and said, "Tomorrow I will study with Mr., you can go together." ”

That's not to bomb them away?

The little sister ran away happily, and Shen Tong looked at her back, and suddenly became more interested in the three children.

The gentleman in Shen Tong's mouth was invited by Xiao Ren, surnamed Chi, born from Jinshi, once worked as a clerk in the Western Qin Army, and was cut off by a Tartar during the war, and his mobility was inconvenient, so Shen Tong had to go to his house every day to take classes.

On the first day of Shen Tong's class, he handed over a silver ticket: "The four of them are people around me, and I want them to listen to the class together and recognize a few more words." ”

They in her mouth meant Fang Fei and the three.

Mr. Chi laughed and returned the silver ticket to her: "I give a lecture, they can listen to it together if they want to, don't have to pay more, if you are embarrassed, give me a few Xifeng bars." ”

Mr. Good wine.

Shen Tong was not polite, and agreed with a smile.

"I'll sew a dress for my husband." Fang Fei likes to make clothes, but she doesn't do it well.

"I'll do it with Sister Fang Fei!" The little sister shouted happily.

Fang Fei wrinkled her nose at her, what will you do.

"We carry water for Mr. and sweep the yard." Han Wuji said.

"We can still do the laundry for my husband." This is Ah Shao.

Mr. Chi seemed to be in a good mood, touched his goatee and said, "Okay, it's all right." ”

And so it was settled.

From this day on, Shen Tong took them to and from school every day, and the days passed like water.

Spring goes to summer, the dryness of summer has not ended, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

The first batch of more than 40 children soon left only 20, some went to large families as maids, some went to the shop as apprentices, self-reliance to support themselves, the rest of the children are either still young, or want to study, so they stay in the grange, some of the husband taught them to read and write, and some of the mother-in-law took care of their diet and daily life.

When the county lord of Yining sent people to give porridge for the second time, some children spontaneously followed, and this time they picked up more than sixty children.

Every time the county lord of Yining goes to the grange, he will call Shen Tong, Shen Tong has to go to class, and he has to go to the grange, and he becomes very busy.

And Xiao Ren is also very busy, since he killed Kuerjin, he has officially commanded the army, and is no longer just a personal guard.

Therefore, he has not returned to Xi'an since the summer solstice, but the flatbread runs to Baihuitang every three or five days, and he is very familiar with King Shuangxi.

Xiao Chai had already read three books, and he read them quickly, but he forgot them when he finished reading them, so he read them again......

The Shen family on Shuyuan Street, Mrs. Jiang is very capable, she doesn't talk much, but she is very warm-hearted, the Huang family and Xinyu like her very much, Shen Tong occasionally looks at her thoughtfully, but she doesn't say anything.

Xinyu became more and more ingenious, when she was fine, she made shoes and clothes for the children in the grange, and Shen Tong brought it over when she went to the grange, and slowly, the reputation of the eldest girl of the Shen family who was kind and good at being a female celebrity spread.

After Shen Tong went to study, Huang once asked Xin Wei if she wanted to study like her sister, Xin Wei smiled and coquettishly: "Auntie, I am not the material for reading, besides, I just want to accompany you at home." ”
