Dong Nuan pretended that she didn't understand what Old Man Dong was saying. She nodded obediently and said, "I understand, grandpa."
Old Man Dong took another deep look at Hanjiang Tower, then turned around and walked to the other side.
Hanjianglou had already walked a few steps over, ready to say hello, but Old Man Dong walked too fast, and it was already too late by the time he came over.
It just so happened that he didn't have a good impression of Dong's family, so it didn't matter whether he said hello or not.
"I baked two cakes this morning, eat them while they're hot." Hanjianglou didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to feed Dong Nuan.
Dong Nuan calmly inhaled the breath that made her feel comfortable, and took the two cakes with a smile: "Thank you, eldest brother of the Han family."
Two cakes are not big, so they can actually fill her up half full, but Dong Nuan has already had breakfast at home, and now eating these is just enough to last for a whole day, and it's hard to tell if there will be anything else to feed her at noon.
Hanjianglou was afraid that she would be hungry, which meant that he had no conditions, otherwise he would really want her to eat eight meals a day.
Hanjianglou didn't ask much about Dong Nuan going to the clan leader's house early in the morning.
The little girl is smart now and will not be easily taken advantage of by her family. Hanjianglou understands this clearly and will not say more, lest Dongnuan doesn't want to listen. If he talks too much, it will not be good.
"The clothes I asked Grandma the Patriarch to make are already ready. I'll go over and get them later." Han Jianglou looked at Dong Nuan's tattered body, and his eyes showed distress.
He didn't know it yet, but Dong Nuan's other new clothes were ruined by Aunt Dong Wu.
Hearing what he said, Dong Nuan nodded obediently. Because there was something in her mouth, her voice was muffled: "Yeah."
His eyes narrowed as he watched her eat, and the smile on Hanjiang's floor became even wider.
Originally, Dong Nuan was planning to go to school after eating, but it would be too late if she didn't go.
But when I turned around, I suddenly remembered what Dong Sanchun said yesterday.
The county magistrate's old mother is about to celebrate her birthday, and it is impossible for all the officials there, including the rich families in the county and town, to show no signs of it.
So, this is a good opportunity to make money.
It's just that the time is short and they can't do much.
However, Dong Nuan thought about it and felt that she could still give it a try. Even if she didn't sell it to them, she could still go to the county and take another route.
"By the way, eldest brother of the Han family, you said that there should be many people giving gifts to the old ladies in the eldest man's house on their birthdays, right?" Dong Nuan tilted her head and asked in confusion.
In response, Hanjianglou nodded and said, "Well, it should be quite a few."
The magistrate of Xiangshui County is relatively honest, but it is impossible to be polite in dealing with favors and various social interactions. These are some means of maintaining interpersonal relationships.
Therefore, even if his old mother celebrated her birthday and received some gifts or something, others would not be able to pick out anything.
"We must seize this opportunity." After Dong Nuan said this, he began to draw things for Hanjiang Tower.
That's right, tools like carving knives are needed for winter warmth. I'm afraid it's not enough to just draw.
Even though Hanjianglou understood it, he was afraid that the size would not be suitable, so he thought about it and asked tentatively: "How about you come over at noon. I have some paper and pen at home, so I can draw on it."
Hanjiang Tower itself does not use these. He originally prepared them for Dongnuan, but now he can use them just right.
When Dong Nuan heard this, she thought this was okay. It was too late to go to the school. Dong Nuan nodded hurriedly and said: "That's OK, I'll go to the school first."
While talking, Dong Nuan was already running past.
Han Jianglou watched her leave and watched Dong Nuan go to Liao Xiucai's house. Then he turned around and walked to the patriarch's house with relief. He had to go get his clothes back.
Throughout the morning, in addition to studying by herself, Dong Nuan also kept an eye on Dong Yao.
Dong Yao was feeling extremely uncomfortable sitting there, as if there was something under her butt. She just couldn't sit still and couldn't listen.
But, does he dare to move?
It’s okay if you don’t dare!
Dong Nuan's death gaze was right next to her. My sister had changed now. When she beat them, she showed no mercy at all, and I was no longer afraid of my mother. The problem was that my father seemed to be partial to my sister.
Dong Yao just felt that God was going to kill him.
He really can’t learn!!!
During the break, Dong Nuan was sitting there and casually said: "Recite it again and I will listen."
Dong Yao:.
Otherwise, will you kill me?
Dong Nuan looked at it with a smile, but there was no hint of smile in her eyes.
Dong Yao, who used to be arrogant, is now trembling with fear like a quail. He wants to stand up, but does he dare?
At noon that day, didn't Dongtao and Dongzao scream enough?
Dong Nuan carried these two people like he was carrying a chicken, let alone only one of him?
Dong Yao's mouth was trembling, but if he made a mistake, Dong Nuan would signal him to stretch out his hand and shine it on his palm.
Dong Nuan didn't have a ruler in her hand, just a small stick with a finger thickness that she picked up on the road. It actually didn't hurt much, but would you try if you whipped it too much?
During the first recess, Dong Yao stuttered a bit and forgot a lot.
Not wanting to be beaten again, Dong Yao's back became much better during the second recess.
When he came home from school at noon, Dong Yao wanted to complain, but his palms were red.
However, Dong Nuan was one step ahead of him and said with a smile to Old Man Dong who was sitting under the eaves: "Master, Dong Yao has made great progress. I can memorize what I learned this morning. I understand now.
Master, what does it mean to hold a ruler in hand? Sometimes a dozen of them can really make people progress."
Dong Yao:?
Are you still human?
No, no, no, are you still my sister?
Before I even opened my mouth to complain, you blocked my way?
Recently, because Dongchang's head and Dongmiao's legs were messed up at home, the endorsements at noon and evening were also interrupted.
Now when Old Man Dong heard this, he realized that Dong Yao had learned well. He was so tired that he didn't even want to raise his eyelids, but now he became a little more interested. He thought about it and said in a deep voice, "Brother Yao, recite a few words and let me listen."
Old Man Dong actually doesn't understand much, he only knows a few words.
But doesn’t this provide warmth in winter?
The best thing the whole family has learned is winter warmth, which makes Mr. Dong feel heartbroken every time he thinks about it.
Why isn't this a boy?
After Dong Yao was named by Old Man Dong, he was hopeless.
But does he dare to resist?
Don't dare!
Did he feel that the beating was not enough?
do not think so!
Dong Yao took two steps forward honestly and carried it on his back with a stumbling step.
Mrs. Dong Wu was sweeping the yard at the moment, and she also pricked up her ears and listened.
Although Dong Yao was stumbling on his back, Dong Wu actually couldn't understand what he was carrying.
However, she was still very proud, and Dong Nuan did not interrupt her. Based on the experience of the previous few days, it meant that Dong Yao had recited it correctly.
My son has a promising future!
Realizing this, the spine that was still bent seemed to straighten a lot.
