Chapter 56: Returning the Favor

"Studying is a boy's business, what are the four girls and a girl going to join in the fun? Or honestly do housework at home to collect pigweed! Ma pulled down his face and said angrily.

Tao Laohan glared at Ma Shi and said, "This matter is Mr. Ji's arrangement." The servant next to Mr. Ji was injured in the leg, and asked the four girls of our family to go to the bamboo forest to do some chores and accompany Daping to study. ”

After a pause, Tao Laohan's face was also a little more happy, and he said: "No matter what, this is a good thing, our two boys will learn together, and in the future, they will test their fame together, and glorify their ancestors!" ”

Towards noon, the rain stopped, and Tao Dalan returned from the mountains.

Hearing the news that Daping was going to study, Tao Dalan was so happy that her mouth was crooked.

"A few days ago, I saw that Sanxia was so angry, and I took Daming to study at every turn, and the eight characters of Daming's examination have not yet been skimmed, as if our old Tao family will rely on the second room in the future."

"It's okay now, our Daping is going to study too, even our fourth sister can go, it's just double happiness!"

Tao Dalan said excitedly.

Tao Sixi corrected her with a smile: "Eldest sister, I just went with me to help Mr. Ji with laundry, cooking, and doing some chores, and when Mr. was happy, he taught me a few words, so I won't be illiterate." ”

Although women could not participate in the scientific examinations, those who were able to do so would usually invite their husbands to come to their homes to teach female students alone.

It is always good to have poetry and books in your belly, and to have more knowledge in your belly.

Tao Dalan said: "Fourth sister, no matter what kind of you can go to a private school, even if it is a chore, being an auditor is better than shoveling a pigsty in the backyard at home. ”

Tao Eryun also nodded: "And me, I'll share it with my eldest sister, you just take Daping to study." ”

Seeing the two sisters taking care of themselves so much, Tao Sixi's heart warmed.

Tao Dalan brought the basket over and shared her harvest in the past half a day with her two younger sisters.

"After the rain, there are a lot of wild mushrooms in the mountains, we still don't dare to go deep into the mountains, so we picked so many in the woods near the hillside twice, look, how good these mushrooms are!" Tao Dalan Road.

Tao Sixi also nodded secretly, very fresh and watery, like a small umbrella with a handle, and with water droplets.

"Eldest sister, there are quite a lot of wild mushrooms here, I want to take some and send them to the Gu family." Tao Sixi discussed with Tao Dalan.

Tao Eryun also reacted immediately, and said: "Some time ago, Daping was recuperating from his injury, and Brother Gu Nanxing Gu specially sent half a rabbit over, and we haven't returned the favor yet." ”

Tao Sixi nodded, she also meant the same.

Although the two rabbit legs were all stuffed into Daming's stomach by the Zhu family, Tao Sixi accepted the Gu family's affection.

When Tao Dalan heard this, she smiled heartily, "Okay, then you can take it, I'll go to the next room to see Daping." ”

Family.

Across the half-human-high low wall, Tao Sixi saw Gu Nanxing sitting at the door of the hall and rubbing his head in straw sandals.

She called at him, and Gu Nanxing looked up and saw her.

He put the half-knitted straw sandals in his hand on the ground, got up and walked briskly to this side, and the two looked at each other across the low wall.

"Sister Sixi, why are you here? But what's the matter? Gu Nanxing asked.

Tao Sixi lifted the small basket he brought over the courtyard wall and handed it to him.

"...... this?" Gu Nanxing took the basket and looked at the mushrooms inside, confused.
