Chapter 9 Planting Trees

The next day, Qi Sui brought Changsheng together to look for Cheng An. Now that she had a cart, it saved her a lot of time, they wobble all the way to Luoshui. She led Changsheng to Cheng An's ox cart, then walked to the door of the carpenter's shop, and saw Cheng An combing Cheng Bao's hair. "Cheng An, Bao Jie'er, good morning!"

Cheng An nodded silently, but Cheng Bao reacted more strongly, calling her sister all the time, which made Qi Sui want to rub her face. Fortunately, she held back, otherwise Cheng An would have glared at her. Before leaving this morning, Qi Sui specifically asked Shen Yu for two pieces of candied fruit and handed them to Cheng Bao: "Here are the candies."

Cheng An finished braiding her hair and let go of her. Cheng Bao then took it and smiled innocently: "Thank you, Sister Sui."

Qi Sui told her: "No need to thank me, Sister Yu asked me to give it to you." After saying that, she took the opportunity to pinch her face quickly

"Sister Yu?"

"Yes, it's the teacher I found for you. Sister Yu knows a lot of words, beautiful and kind, and likes Sister Bao very much."

Cheng Bao couldn't help but laugh when she heard that it's a teacher found for her. She looked up at Cheng An with excitement and said, "Brother, can I go to school too?"

Cheng An didn't expect that what Qi Sui said yesterday would be done today, but seeing the eager look in his sister's eyes, he couldn't say no, he just looked at Qi Sui: "My mother's eyesight is damaged, and all the money in the family is used to buy medicine for her, so Bao Jie'er can't go to school."

Qi Sui was stunned when he heard this. Cheng An rarely spoke so much.

When Cheng Bao heard his brother mention Their, she lowered her head and said nothing, while Cheng An continued: "I promise to plant fruit trees with you. We don't have to split the money we earn, as long as Bao Jieer can go to school."

Qi Sui She rejected his request: "Cheng An, the money should be divided equally, and Bao Jieer also needs to go to school. The two are not in conflict."

Without waiting for Cheng An to say anything else, she picked up Cheng Bao and put her in the ox cart, while coaxing her: " Sister Sui will take you to school, okay?"

Cheng Bao clapped her hands: "Okay!"

Cheng An had no choice but to follow Qi Sui back to Yunyan Village. Shen Yu arranged for someone to take out a shorter desk from the warehouse early in the morning and placed it next to her. On the desk was Three Character Classic that she had written last night.

Ruo Wei carefully placed the writing brush and ink, and rubbed her fingers on the desk to make sure there's no dust.

"Miss, I'll go outside and wait. You just wait for a moment."

Shen Yu exhaled softly, Although she had done her homework, she couldn't help but feel nervous when she thought about it carefully. After drinking several bowls of tea, she heard a sound coming from the corridor outside the door.

Qi Sui is preparing Cheng Bao for psychological support, "Don't be afraid, Sister Bao, the sister you will meet later is the most gentle and kind, and she looks the prettiest when she smiles."

"Yeah! The candy Sister Yu gave me is delicious!" Cheng Bao nodded obediently.

Shen Yu suddenly calmed down. When they came in, she stood up and said, "I just heard your voice." When she saw Cheng Bao's eyes, she squatted down and looked at her and said, "Sister Bao, D you still want to eat candy? i have a lot, i can give you all of them"

Cheng Bao said timidly: "Thank you, Sister Yu, I don't eat candy."

"Then I will teach you to recognize words. Let's learn the Three Character Classic today, okay?" Shen Yu gently held her fingers, her voice is extremely gentle.

Qi Sui also squatted down and whispered: "Sister Yu can also teach you how to write. Do you want to learn, Baojie?"

Cheng Bao was coaxed to lower her guard and replied: "I want to learn!" At this time, the two of them were on both sides Surrounding the little girl, they look so happy, like a family of three.

After Qi Sui handed Cheng Bao to Chen Yu, she went to the farm to plant saplings with Cheng An. He was now burying the roots of the saplings in the soil according to the holes dug by Qi Sui in the field. Changsheng was pulling a cart with many saplings and fertilizers on it.

"Cheng An, thank you for your hard work!" Qi Sui ran over hurriedly.

Cheng An stood up straight and asked, "Is Bao Jie'er in class?"

"Yes, Madam Shen is teaching her the Three Character Classic today." Qi Sui picked up half a bag of fertilizer from the ox cart and sprinkled it on the planted saplings.

Cheng An bent down again and continued to plant the saplings, muttering, "I also learned the Three Character Classic before." Qi Sui didn't think much about it and smiled innocently, "I have forgotten most of what I learned."

It was already September, but the summer heat had not yet subsided. The two of them worked together, one in front and one behind, until the sun set, and they had only completed one third of the ten acres of land.

Qi Sui was sweating and panting from exhaustion: "I'm afraid I'll have to be busy for another two days."

Cheng An didn't say anything, but his breathing was more obvious than usual.

"The sun has set, and we won't be able to see the road clearly when it gets dark. Let's come back tomorrow."

The two packed up their farm tools. Qi Sui fed Changsheng fodder and went with Cheng An to pick up Cheng Bao. Before they reached the gate, they saw Shen Yu holding Cheng Bao waiting there, looking at them. It was hard for Qi Sui to explain her feelings at the moment. She just wanted to run over quickly and just say a few words.

"Sister Sui, look at what I wrote today!" Cheng Bao excitedly handed her the paper in her arms.

Qi Sui was about to take it, but found that there's still dirt on her hands, so she didn't take it. She leaned over and said, "Sister Bao, are you happy that you learned so many words today?"

Cheng Bao immediately replied, "I'm happy!"

At this time, Cheng An came over, and she rushed up to hug him, "Brother, I didn't cry or make a fuss today as you said, and Sister Yu even praised me for my determination."

Cheng An was stunned, and suddenly smiled: " Bao Jie'er, be good, we will come back to learn tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to the Cheng brother and sister, Qi Sui came close to Shen Yu and said with certainty: "Bao Jie'er likes you very much."

Shen Yu did not deny it, but lowered her head, "So... I can also be liked by others."

Qi Sui didn't understand, and said as a matter of course: "Why do you say that about yourself? I like you very much."

Shen Yu felt stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer. Qi Sui looked calm and said "Madam Shen is good in every way. There will be many people who like you in the future."

After saying that, she said she's very tired today and ran back to the guest room. Qi Sui quickly hid in the house, feeling a burning sensation on her face.

System: "Host, what's wrong? Your face is red."

"Don't ask, I'm tired."

System: "I don't believe it."

Qi Sui was immersed in Shen Yu's dull eyes, holding her head and crying: "She wouldn't think I am Pervert, right?"

System: "Is this important?"

"Of course it's important!" Qi Sui growled, then calmed down. Shen Yu's face appeared in her mind many times, and she said unconsciously: "But I really think she is very good, it's normal to like her."

System: "I don't know that either."

Cheng An brought Cheng Bao to Qi Sui every day, and Qi Sui would plant seedlings, water, fertilize, and prune weak branches and leaves in the orchard with him. While Shen Yu taught Cheng Bao to read and write every day. After learning the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, and Thousand Character Classic, she began to teach the Disciple Rules.

The days passed by, and in the blink of an eye it's October. Qi Sui's orchard had just started. The high-quality saplings bought from the Props Mall grew rapidly under the nourishment of fertilizer, three times faster than ordinary saplings, and would bear fruit next month. Meanwhile, her new house was finally completed.
