Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 236 - 202: Untitled

Liu Yang was very concerned about his son’s education, and that afternoon, he personally took Liu Hai to the Jiang family’s home.

He also brought some silver, mainly to pay for the pen, ink, and paper, without any hesitation, even repeatedly thanking as if he got a good deal.

One has to say, although Liu Yang can be quite talkative, when it comes to the kids, he really doesn’t cut any corners, especially regarding letting Liu Hai go to school.

So far, there are over forty households in the village, adding up to more than two hundred people, but only Jiang Yu and Liu Hai go to school.

Even the village chief, who knows how to read, has taught his own son and grandson to read, but no kids in the village chief’s family go to school.

Apart from the past two years when families were just settling down and then faced drought, people indeed were a bit reluctant to spend silver since education is truly expensive!

Over time, Jiang Hu also learned some things just from casual chats.

When settling in Fu’an Village, not everyone was as completely penniless as his family, living in extreme poverty.

Most people, no, it should be said everyone except them, had some silver when they settled down.

But that bit of silver is just a drop in the bucket for education expenses; even if it’s enough for one or two years, it’s uncertain whether it will cover the years afterward.

You can tell how costly education is from Jiang Hu spending over ten taels of silver on some pens, ink, and paper today.

Moreover, Jiang Yu chose relatively small brushes to write smaller characters, which conserves the rice paper during practice.

However, Jiang Hu was also quite generous, knowing this period was relatively cheap, he bought two thick stacks, which should be enough for a year or so if used sparingly.

After lunch, he took a nap, and when he woke up, he heard the sound of reading from his older brother’s room. Xiaomi stretched lazily, pondering what to do in the afternoon.

With a creak, Wei Ziang also opened his door and came out, stretching lazily in the same way as Xiaomi.

Behind Wei Ziang, Tiedan followed along.

Originally, Tiedan slept with his older brother, but his brother studied so diligently, getting up early in the morning and taking only short naps in the afternoon.

So, Tiedan got disturbed and took his pillow to sleep in Wei Ziang’s room.

When Xiaomi saw Wei Ziang, she brightened up and ran over: "Older brother."

Wei Ziang was older than her but younger than Jiang Yu. She was used to calling him affectionately, and this term of address never changed.

Even Tiedan followed his sister and called him brother.

"Xiaomi," Wei Ziang saw Xiaomi, and a hint of a smile appeared on his otherwise cool expression: "What’s up?"

Maybe it was some fledgling attachment, or maybe because Xiaomi had taken care of him for a long time, cooking for him and helping with his injuries.

Wei Ziang always acted a bit differently when facing Xiaomi.

"During lunch, I heard from mom and dad that the lotus seeds we planted have sprouted and are growing lotus leaves. Let’s go take a look."

"Sis, I want to go too." Tiedan quickly chimed in.

Wei Ziang nodded: "Sure."

Xiaomi looked at Tiedan: "When we go to the pond, stay away from the water and be careful, got it?"

Tiedan was the youngest and not that mature, so he needed to be reminded of everything.

"Don’t worry, sis, I know," he said, eager to run off.

The three immediately went to inform their older brother and older sister; their parents were out, probably working in the fields.

Although the rain was back to normal and the crops could grow comfortably, so did the weeds.

The crops had been planted for a month, and it was time to weed them.

Xiaoxue, not entirely trusting the young ones, went with them.

The pond was completely different from when it was first dug.

A circle of stones surrounded it, which, although not very high, provided enough protection.

Besides the fence, they even left an opening and dug a few steps, with stone slabs laid on them.

The little kids ran all the way to the pond, and Xiaomi’s eyes lit up immediately: "There really are lotus leaves, you see, they’ve already grown above the water!"

Although they were still small, only the size of a bowl, they had indeed appeared!

"Dad said lotus flowers are very beautiful; I wonder if they’ll bloom this year," Xiaoxue was also a bit moved.

In her embroidery patterns, there were lotus flower motifs, but she had never seen a real lotus flower with her own eyes.
