A ragged cub at the beginning

After the venue was decided, Tang Xu began to look for someone to help set up the venue. First, she had to fence it off, then build the stage frame and simple stands. These tasks were not complicated, so she found an old acquaintance, Foreman Tao.

Zhu Ying knocked on the door, came in and asked, "Director, are you looking for me?"

"Come and help me take a look. How about this be used as a school uniform? The children will wear it when they go to school." Tang Xu took out her own design draft. She basically drew a tight outfit that is easy to move around in.

The first set is a short jacket with tight cuffs on the upper body, a knee-length skirt on the lower body, and long pants inside, with a white background and red edges.

The second set is a long coat that reaches the knees and long pants, with a blue base and white edges.

The third set is a short jacket and long skirt with a red background and white edges.

Zhu Ying looked at them one by one, "The first set, right? The embroidery is all forsythia?"

"Well, I like the first set the best too. Can you make it?" Tang Xu put his hands together, "I'm sorry to bother you again!"

Zhu Ying chuckled, "Why are you so polite? I am in good health thanks to you, Doctor Pei... your medical skills are really superb." As she spoke, her cheeks turned red again.

I forgot to tell her! Tang Xu picked at his clothes, pondered it over several times in his mind, pretended to share a secret, and whispered: "Do you know why Doctor Pei is so powerful?"

Zhu Ying glanced sideways, "Why?"

"I thought Doctor Pei was young and promising, but it turns out he is already 55 years old!" Tang Xu showed an exaggerated expression of surprise.

Zhu Ying was indeed shocked, her eyes widened, "How, how is this possible?"

"Really! Banxia said that she was brought up by Doctor Pei. They have a recipe for keeping young in the valley. Her master is over a hundred years old." Tang Xu observed her expression, "Doctor Pei called me a child a few days ago."

Zhu Ying swayed as if she couldn't stand, and Tang Xu quickly supported her. She pulled the corners of her lips, but didn't smile. Tears welled up in her eyes, "Excuse me, did you see what I was thinking?"

"Well... so I thought of asking around for you. I learned that he is already fifty-five, and there is still someone living in his heart, even though that person has passed away." Tang Xu supported her arm, "There must be someone better. You should get out of this relationship before you become too deeply attached."

Zhu Ying smiled bitterly and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. "It's okay. I'm not worthy of him."

"Don't say that about yourself. I don't like it." Tang Xu said angrily, "There's no such thing as worthy or not. It's just not suitable."

"I..." Fifty-five, if I get married and have children, the children will be older than me. Zhu Ying laughed at herself, "I'm going to class first, it's okay, don't worry about me."

I am not born, but I am old.

Tang Xu sighed, if the gap was smaller, and Doctor Pei was also interested, it would be possible. But Doctor Pei clearly had no feelings, so there was no possibility for the two of them.

At noon, when the children were sleeping, Tang Xu convened a short meeting and asked the class teachers to mobilize the children and collect their wishes to see what projects they were willing to participate in and submit a list.

As for the opening performance list, Tang Ling was responsible for selecting it.

The prizes include a place in the academy, a customized portrait, clothes from Sansi Embroidery House, picture books, and toys.

All the preliminary preparations had been completed. Tang Xu had nothing to do, so he moved his easel and sat on the playground to paint portraits of the children.

The time the children spent playing was only enough to make a rough draft. Tang Xu had a lot of paintings in her drawer, and she would take them out and paint a few strokes when she had time. Class 1 had already finished their paintings, and she checked them and prepared to frame them and hang them in the classroom.

Du Yun sent someone to ring the gong to inform the whole town that Qingyang Kindergarten will hold a sports meeting on the first day of June. He hoped that those who have free time can take their children to play and have a look.

The children in the kindergarten began to concentrate on training the events they were participating in, with Tang Ling, Tang Qing and Tang Yao all joining in.

After school, Zhu Ying hesitated whether to go to Du's house, feeling embarrassed.

"Let's go, Zhuying." Tang Xu invited her to get on the carriage.

"I..." Zhu Ying didn't move.

"The disease must be cured. Come on, he doesn't know about it, what are you afraid of?" Tang Xu urged.

Zhu Ying thought about it and realized that, indeed, she hadn’t expressed her feelings. Dr. Pei only treated her as a patient. Although she felt a little sad thinking this way.

"Miss Zhu, my master wrote to me. She gave me a prescription. You should try drinking it for three days first, and stop taking the previous medicine." Pei Wushu came up with a prescription, his expression showing obvious joy.

Zhu Ying calmed down and knelt down, "Thank you, Doctor Pei."

"You're welcome." Pei Wushu handed her the prescription, on which the method of brewing and the time to take the medicine were clearly written. "My junior sister already knows the basic acupuncture points, so you can give it to her later."

"Thank you." Zhu Ying bowed again.

Pei Wushu slightly avoided the attack, looked at Banxia and said, "Xiaonan's injury has stabilized, and I will be leaving soon."

"So soon!" Banxia felt very reluctant, "I will go with my brother."

"No need," Pei Wushu looked at Tang Xu, Madam Du and others. They all regarded Banxia as a relative. Perhaps this place was more suitable for her. He stroked Banxia's head and said, "You can stay here. If you want to go back to the valley, you can come back. Remember to write to me if you have anything."

Banxia didn't seem to understand, "I stay here?"

"Don't you like it here?" Pei Wushu asked.

"I like it, but I also like Guli." Banxia pouted. Does senior brother not want her to go back?

Pei Wushu had taken care of her since she was a child, and he knew there was a misunderstanding when he saw her expression. "What are you thinking about? I saw that you like it here, so I let you live here for a while. There are many children in the kindergarten you stay in, and you are good at it. Isn't it good to improve here? Do you really not want to go back to the valley?"

"I want it back, I want it back!" Banxia became happy again.

"Miss Tang, please take good care of me in the future." Pei Wushu was not worried about anything else. In his opinion, the kindergarten needed a doctor like Banxia and would surely not be treated unfairly.

"It's no trouble, no trouble. I'm so happy." Tang Xu waved his hands repeatedly.

Zhu Ying lowered her head, staring at the prescription in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.

Three days later, it was determined that the new prescription was better than the old one. Pei Wushu packed his things with confidence. Everyone came to see him off. Xiaonan was able to get out of bed and was led by Xiaodong. Unexpectedly, when Pei Wushu was about to step into the carriage, Xiaonan suddenly rushed out, hugged Pei Wushu's legs and cried. She opened her mouth but made no sound, but tears kept rolling down, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Xiaonan! Let go of me, Doctor Pei is going home." Jiang Xiaodong hurriedly came over and pulled his sister's hand.

"Xiaonan?" Pei Wushu patted Xiaodong, signaling him to let Xiaonan go.

Xiaonan shook his head without saying anything, nor did he let go of his hand.

Pei Wushu pressed her arm gently, and Xiaonan's arm immediately fell down weakly. He pulled her off his legs and held her in his arms, "I'll come to see you next time, okay?"

Xiaonan still shook his head.

"Then do you want to go back to the valley with me to study medicine?" Pei Wushu asked.

Before Xiaonan could refuse, Xiaodong opened his mouth to refuse, "No!"

"Xiao Nan has some talent in herbal medicine. She remembered everything I taught Banxia these days." Pei Wushu looked at Banxia.

"Yes, when I couldn't answer, Xiaonan was more anxious than me." Banxia scratched her hair and said to Xiaodong.

"But, but...I can't live without my sister." Xiaodong said with red eyes.

"You can go with us." Pei Wushu said.

"Can I go too?" Xiaodong looked at him blankly, "Can I have enough food?"

Pei Wushu did not make fun of him for only caring about this, but nodded, "Of course I can."

"This..." Tang Xu didn't expect it to develop like this, "But Xiaodong and Xiaonan's father hasn't come back yet, and their stepmother is still working in the town ancestral hall."

"Go ahead." Madam Du said, "Their father is unreliable. It would be better for the two siblings to study medicine. At least they will have a skill to rely on in the future and won't starve to death."

"Thank you, Mrs. Du, for your trust." Pei Wushu bowed.

Butler Qi went to help the brother and sister pack their things. Pei Wushu came alone, but left with his two little disciples.

"Then am I not Xiaodong and Xiaonan's uncle?" Seeing the people walking away, Banxia suddenly reacted.

"Do you want to be a senior uncle so much?" Tang Xu joked.

"This is the first time that Senior Brother has accepted a disciple." Banxia pointed her fingers together, "Senior Brother must think that I'm stupid, not even as good as Xiaonan, a child."

"Aren't you a child too?" Tang Xu ruffled her hair, making Banxia so angry that she wanted to hit her. The two chased each other and fought, and soon Banxia started laughing again.

"I see, they are all children, none of them is grown up." Mrs. Du said with a smile.

"That's right. I think Xiaoxu is having more fun than Banxia." Yu Wen supported Mrs. Du and slowly walked into the house.

"Well, when my uncle and Aunt Xu get married, our family will have four children," Jiarui said, counting on his chubby, white fingers. "Qiyue, me, Sister Banxia, ​​and Aunt Xu, will have four children?"

Madam Du looked at her grandson's serious expression and couldn't help but hug him and kiss him, "That's right, it's so lively."

"Miss, it's time to go home." Lvliu said softly.

"Well, let's go back." Zhu Ying wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled half bitterly and half relieved.
