The next day, Chen Miao, mother and son, and Tao Hong went out for a walk.
It's really different to have an acquaintance take you around than to wander around by yourself.
The inner city is also an ancient city with many historic buildings and many allusions.
Tao Hong is quite qualified as a guide.
"Ms. Tao, thank you."
"I told you that you don't have to be polite to me. It's rare for me to have someone I like. In fact, I really don't have close friends.
It's a pity that we are too far away and you have to leave here. I may not have the chance to go there."
"I'll write you a letter when I get the chance. I'm ready to find a train conductor. I can send you a letter directly by train."
Tao Hong smiled, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? I do have acquaintances. Don't worry, I might be able to give you some fruit. Is your home close to the train station?"
"It's far away, so there's no need for fruit. I'll make arrangements then. I'll go to the county town to have a look when I have time."
"It will be arranged at that time. Can't you stay here? In fact, what you want to do here should be more suitable."
Chen Miaoya shook her head, "I don't adapt here, and I want to go back home. After all, that is our home." She is old at heart and can be said to be lazy. She is unwilling to make any changes and is willing to maintain the status quo.
This time we were eating out again. This meant that Tao Hong had never had contact with poor people. Otherwise, we would still be suspicious that a woman from the countryside was picky about food.
In the evening, Tao Juncheng brought a woman over. At first glance, Chen Miao felt that she was a person with a story.
"This is the master from the previous martial arts school. He can follow you back to be the master of the two children."
Chen Miao looked at the woman in surprise. "Is it really possible? My family is from the countryside. Life is not as convenient as in the city, and the salary will not be much."
Although we urgently need a master, we still need to make it clear, otherwise it will not be good.
This woman's eyes didn't waver at all, she just nodded lightly.
Chen Miao suddenly calmed down. The first thing she felt was that she was a woman who had gone through many vicissitudes of life. Would it bring trouble to herself and her children?
"You two, let's talk. It's better to explain everything clearly."
Tao Juncheng also considered that it would be inconvenient for a male master to live with a woman and two children.
However, Peng Jingwen has experienced too many things, and it is not suitable for them.
But I really can’t find a more suitable person in such a short period of time.
Tao Zisheng left behind two brothers, Yunshan and Yunxin, who were also willing to get close to him.
The two women went to the octagonal pavilion outside and sat down.
Peng Jingwen looked at the little girl in front of her, feeling angry in her heart. Why could she be so beautiful? Why did she have to go through so much.
Chen Miao has lived two lives and has met many people. He immediately felt the emotional change of the woman opposite.
The two of them sat facing each other, and she had already decided that this person was not suitable for their mother and son.
Although it is a foolish dream to live a peaceful life in this era and even cause trouble for oneself, that is their own business and they will never allow others to influence them.
"Ma'am, I don't think you're right for us."
"Why?" Peng Jingwen also calmed down.
"I have just talked about our lives. We really want our children to practice martial arts, keep fit, and have the ability to protect themselves in troubled times.
They are still too young, and it will take at least two or three years before they can practice Qigong, but I feel that the lady’s mind is not on teaching.
This will delay each other. It won't hurt our feelings if we make it clear now. It would really make you leave your hometown and follow us before you realize it's not appropriate. That's not good."
Chen Miao decided to tell the truth, but she still said it tactfully. After all, she was a woman.
Peng Jingwen chuckled, "He is really a sensitive and smart person.
If it's not suitable, then forget it. But you'd better not delay your two children, they are good candidates for martial arts training."
"Well, there is still time. I want them to be well. If there is nothing suitable, I will take them up the mountain to learn skills."
"Do you know where it is?"
Chen Miao shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just heard in storytelling opera that there is a master living in seclusion on the mountain."
"Haha, it's too simple. You can try it." Peng Jingwen stood up after finishing speaking.
If you can't cooperate, then leave on your own.
The two arrived at the living room. Tao Juncheng looked at them.
"Mr. Tao, I take my leave."
"I take the liberty of inviting you over. I'm really sorry."
Peng Jingwen shook her head and turned to leave.
Chen Miao sat down and looked at the Tao brothers and sisters apologetically, "I'm really sorry. This lady is not suitable for us."
"Why? Peng Jingwen's skills are particularly good. Her family used to run a martial arts gym.
When the little devil went to play in the gym, her father, who was inferior to others, was killed. Later, her two brothers were also killed. Her niece and nephew were sent away by her. It can be said that she was the only one left in the Peng family.
There are also rumors that Peng Jingwen was ruined by the Japs." Tao Juncheng said.
Chen Miao understood why she was full of rage. This was a deep hatred, and anyone would have such emotions.
I really sympathize with her. She has a sworn hatred with the little devil.
But I don't regret rejecting her. People are selfish. She doesn't want danger to get involved in her life. She can't afford to lose. The two children are still so young and they won't cause trouble for herself.
"Brother, I think Chen Miao is right to do this. They live on their own without a man around, so it's better to be safe."
Chen Miao smiled and said, "Thank you two, you don't have to worry about us anymore. If there are no suitable candidates in the future, I will take them to apprentice."
The Tao brothers and sisters didn't say anything at this time. Since they had already thought about it, forget it.
The next day Chen Miao took her two children to the Chamber of Commerce after breakfast.
Huang Youwei had already arrived at the Chamber of Commerce and stood up to greet Chen Miao as he came in.
Entered his office. "Ms. Chen, don't worry, the shoes have been arranged, and the price has been reduced a bit."
Chen Miao smiled and said, "Thank you, Boss Huang."
"We benefit from each other."
The two of them agreed to go to the train station to make arrangements today.
Chen Miao knew that Tao Juncheng could be there at any time, so he could leave in a day or two.
It’s better to go back as soon as possible. I’ve been going back and forth for nearly two months. To be honest, I really feel a little homesick.
Just follow Huang Youwei. The freight is still acceptable. A carriage is arranged directly here. She has said that if there are too many goods on the road, she will share a carriage with others and try not to arrange for other goods to enter her carriage.
The train will arrive at eight o'clock tomorrow night, but the car has been arranged here, so it can be loaded during the day tomorrow. When the train arrives, this car can be hung at the back.
Chen Miao was really grateful to Huang Youwei. The sealed carriage did not cost much, and he was really easy to handle.
