Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Chapter 53 Settling in Dali Village (1)

Zhao arranged for Li Dali to pick up Zhou Xiaonan, and repeatedly told him to ask about the child's academic performance after seeing Dr. Zhang.

When the uncle and nephew were laughing all the way back to the village, Qian, who had just returned with a basin of clothes, happened to meet them.

When I saw the two of them, I suddenly remembered that I had completely forgotten about this little niece!

"Da Li, why hasn't Xiao Nan been home these days? Has she been staying in Huaihua Village?"

Zhou Xiaonan didn't know what her aunt had been doing recently, but she was very happy to see her, so she called out sweetly:

"Hello, aunt. I'm not in Huaihua Village. I've been staying in the city."

Li Dali frowned when he saw his wife taking another pile of clothes to wash.

Da Niu is not the only one in the family who is running out of clothes to wear recently.

My wife wasn’t so fond of cleanliness before?

There are only a few pieces of clothes at home. If you wash them too often, not only will you have nothing to wear, but the clothes will also be easily damaged!

"Wife, why are you so particular about cleanliness lately? I'm a rough guy and I don't have to be so particular. I don't need to wash so often."

Qian was furious when she heard this. She worked so hard but still got no reward! This stinky man was always trying to be ungrateful!

The couple had a few words about washing clothes, and then forgot about why Xiaonan was in the city.

Zhou Xiaonan got off the cart obediently. Without her uncle's help, she picked up the things in her hands and walked to her grandmother's house on her own.

After not seeing her family for so many days, she wants to see them as soon as possible!

Mrs. Li had been looking out the door for a long time. It would be a lie to say she wasn't worried about her little daughter who was away from home all alone.

But she knew clearly in her heart what she should do to be truly good to her daughter.

When she saw the little girl running towards her like a bird, Li's face broke into a smile.

"Mom, I miss you so much, where's my sister?"

Li smiled and tapped the tip of the little girl's nose, teasing:

"You still miss your sister the most, the rest of us are just incidental."

Zhou Xiaonan scratched his head embarrassedly and quickly pulled Li into the house.

Zhou Xiaoxi was helping her grandmother in the kitchen. When she heard the little girl's excited shout, she immediately ran out.

She was greeted with a warm hug from the little girl.

Zhou Xiaonan had so much to share with his family, so everyone spent the entire meal listening to his excited speech.

When she talked about the gift Zhang Jiaojiao gave them, the whole family was very surprised.

Mrs. Li was the most anxious and couldn't help but interrupt her daughter's chattering.

"Xiao Nan, you said that Doctor Zhang's granddaughter has ordered us to embroider twenty handkerchiefs?"

Zhou Xiaonan's face flushed with excitement and she nodded continuously.

"Grandpa Zhang said this is called teaching a man to fish, or something like that. Anyway, he was praising Sister Jiaojiao for being smart!"

After the family finished their meal, Mrs. Li hurriedly urged her daughter to take out the handkerchief.

She has always loved embroidering things, but she had always been troubled by the lack of patterns and embroidery threads. Now that she has such a good opportunity, how can she resist!

Zhou Xiaoxi was full of curiosity about the little girl Zhang Jiaojiao and hoped to make friends with her if he had the chance in the future.

She always had a sense of mutual understanding.

When Li learned that she could earn twenty cents for embroidering a handkerchief, she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

She wished she could light the oil lamp right now and embroider the handkerchief without stopping.

Xiaonan had to go back to the city tomorrow evening. If he stayed up all night and worked all day, he wondered if he could finish the work.

Everyone can understand Li's eagerness to make money.

But this is the first time we supply goods to the shop, and ensuring quality is more important than anything else.

Zhao immediately poured cold water on Li:

"Xiaomei, slow work produces fine work, we have to do this first order well. Don't think about working late into the night, it would be a waste if you damage your eyes!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement, so Li had no choice but to stop thinking about it.

Zhao then asked about Zhou Xiaonan's apprenticeship in the clinic. After hearing this, she had an idea in her mind.

"Xiaomei, we have more important things to do tomorrow. Please put aside the embroidery for now."

Li, who had originally planned to start work as soon as daybreak, was discouraged.

"Mom, what are we going to do tomorrow?"

Zhao was a little tired. Her daughter was too used to relying on others. She was already a mother of two children, but she still looked like an ignorant girl.

"Have you completely forgotten about settling down as a family of four?"

With a sigh, Zhao nags a few more times:

"Xiaomei, you have to learn to stand up for yourself and can't always rely on others. Zhou Jun is not taking responsibility now, so as a mother, you have to support the family quickly!"

Li was confused for a moment. Isn't it a man's job to support a family? How can she, a woman with no ability, support a family?

However, under her mother's disappointed gaze, she did not ask as usual, but instead thought carefully about the meaning of her mother's words.

Yes, from the time the accident happened until now, either Xiaoxi girl has been trying to find a solution, or she has simply come to Dali Village to rely on her mother.

It seems like I can't do anything except crying and feeling ashamed...

Soon, Li raised his head with a determined look.

"Mom, please don't look down on your daughter for being stupid. From today on, I will follow you and learn well. As a mother, I have to provide a good life for my children!"

Zhao nodded and asked:

"Then what do you think we should do to get the head of the village to agree to let your family settle down?"

Zhou Xiaoxi was a little anxious. Her grandmother hadn't said anything yet, but Xiaonan brought it up as soon as she came back. There must be a connection between the two!

But she didn't dare to speak.

The grandmother was educating her daughter. Didn’t she see that her father remained silent the whole time?

Li thought hard for a while before speaking:

"Mom, can we pay some money? I just don't know how much is appropriate..."

The man on her head finally realized his point. Although he didn't hit the nail on the head, Zhao felt much more relieved.

With only ten taels of silver as a fortune, how could the family afford such a waste?

Besides, the village head is not that kind of person. The biggest problem of settling in Dali Village has never been with the village head, but whether the villagers have any objections.

Moreover, thanks to the Qian family, the difficulty of settling down has increased several times.

Zhao looked at Zhou Xiaoxi.

"Little brook girl, what do you think?"

Zhou Xiaoxi had been eager to try it out. If it was General Black, his tail would be wagging happily at this moment.

"Grandma, sister Xiaonan is the key to the success of this matter, right?"

Zhou Xiaonan, who was mentioned, still had snack crumbs on his mouth, blinked his big, ignorant eyes, and had question marks all over his head. (⊙?⊙)

Zhao was very satisfied. Although her daughter was not very smart, the children she raised were all very smart.

She no longer kept the secret and told everyone in detail about Xiaonan's role.

After understanding the key points, Zhou Xiaonan felt that the burden on his shoulders was a bit heavy.

Can she really become a female doctor in the future?

The people of Da'an were quite open-minded and did not reject female doctors. Even in the circle of aristocratic families, female doctors with superb medical skills were very popular.

Therefore, if Zhou Xiaonan works hard, his future financial prospects will be bright.
