When Axiang heard this, her eyes widened: "Really?"

Xia Qingyuan nodded: "Of course it's true."

After a while, when Shen Yilin comes over, she will also enlighten him.

In this way, Shen Yilin can still have a companion when studying, so that he won't be unable to sit still for a while.

After Ah Xiang jumped for joy, her eyes dimmed again.

Abba has made it clear that they have already caused a lot of trouble to Xia Qingyuan and must not accept any favors from her.

Xia Qingyuan saw her hesitation and said: "It doesn't matter, it won't take long.

If you learn a few words every day, the more you accumulate, the more you will get."

Hearing what Xia Qingyuan said, Axiang was almost shaken.

Now she and A Zhuang can read, and they just pick up some old newspapers that others don't want and read them by themselves.

But neither Abba nor Amma knew the words. Only Abba would occasionally point out a few words from a whole article and tell them how to pronounce them.

A Zhuang also heard their conversation.

He ran over and looked at Axiang with bright eyes.

Ever since he was little, he has always listened to Axiang.

As long as Axiang nods, they can also learn.

Even though they are just learning to read, they are already very satisfied.

In A Zhuang's expectant eyes, A Xiang nodded.

If you get scolded when you go back, just be scolded. Even if you get a beating, it's worth it.

So, they agreed that every day when the food was delivered, they would learn how to read from Xia Qingyuan.

Just forty minutes every day.

Children from poor families have already become parents, but that's it.

It took them 2 hours in total to dig bamboo shoots.

When we returned, everyone's baskets were full.

Xia Qingyuan stopped them from moving all the bamboo shoots to their home: "I only need this frame.

The rest, you take them to the market and sell them."

Of course Axiang and Azhuang disagreed: "No, all these lands will be given to you."

When their parents heard that they were going to take Xia Qingyuan to dig bamboo shoots, they happily dug out all the bamboo baskets at home.

Xia Qingyuan was amused by their innocence: "You don't need it, I can't use up so much.

While it's still early, you should carry these to the market and sell them.

Then I can buy a pig's trotter for your father."

Axiang saw Zhulin's eyes shining yesterday, and Xia Qingyuan saw it.

Ah Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "Okay.

Sister Xia, thank you!"

Later, she and A Zhuang insisted on picking out a lot of the good-looking ones in their boxes and forced them to be given to Xia Qingyuan.

Then, the two of them went to the vegetable market carrying bamboo baskets.

Xia Qingyuan couldn't help but smile as she looked at the backs of the two siblings leaving together.

Xia Qingyuan looked at the bamboo shoots piled in the courtyard and made some calculations in her mind.

To make cold dishes, she can use about 40 kilograms and sell them in two days; as for the remaining 20 kilograms, she wants to use them to make sour bamboo shoots.

If she wanted to make sour bamboo shoots, she would need to buy another vat for soaking.

These bamboo shoots are dug out, shelled and boiled, which is very labor-intensive to make.

As soon as Xia Qingyuan started, the phone at home rang.

She was wondering in her heart, who would call the one that was just installed yesterday.

She picked up the phone: "Hello, hello."

There was a familiar voice on the other end of the phone: "Hello, Mrs. Secretary-General, hello.

I am Xiaoguang, the guard at the door.

Well, there is a man here who says he is your brother.

Look, do you want to come out and take a look?

Or should I let him go back?"

With Zhang Yu'e's lesson learned last time, how dare he let people go casually?

However, the man today actually looks a bit like the wife of the secretary-general.

Xia Qingyuan frowned slightly: "My brother?"

She immediately thought of Xia Jingchen.

She just called Xia Jingyue yesterday, and he would come to find her without saying a word. I'm afraid it was only Xia Jingchen.

As for why he is here, it probably has something to do with Zhang Yu'e.

Her good mood for a long time was also tainted by this incident.

In fact, she has not seen Xia Jingchen since she was reborn, and she still misses him a little.

Xia Qingyuan and Xia Jingchen are closer in age, and they should have been able to play together more.

However, Xia Jingchen had been cheating and cheating since he was a child, and Xia Qingyuan followed him. Instead of receiving any care that a sister should have, she often took the blame for him.

On the contrary, Xia Jingyue has always played the role of the eldest brother and protected her everywhere.

Now that I think that Xia Jingchen's arrival might be for Zhang Yu'e, I feel even more unhappy.

I hope Xia Jingchen came to see her today really just to reminisce between the siblings.

She said: "Please wait a moment, I will go out and take a look."

Xia Qingyuan washed her hands, tidied up a little, and went out.

She was still wearing the same clothes she had just gone to dig bamboo shoots in the mountain, so that when Xia Jingchen saw her, he almost didn't recognize her.

He waved with some hesitation: "Qingyuan?"

When Xia Qingyuan heard this voice, she knew it was Xia Jingchen.

He was wearing a gray shirt and a pair of baggy trousers today, and his skin was tanned from driving outside all year round.

The whole person looked the same as he does now, dusty.

But his appearance is different from Xia Qingyuan's.

Xia Qingyuan only looked gray on the outside, while Xia Jingchen had a feeling of defeat in his bones.

Except for his facial features that were similar to those in his memory, Xia Qingyuan almost didn't recognize him.

Once upon a time, Xia Jingchen was also a young man wearing bright clothes and angry horses.

Thinking of this, Xia Qingyuan's heart softened.

She walked up to him and called out: "Second brother."

Xia Qingyuan nodded towards the guard: "This is my second brother, thank you."

When the guard heard this, he immediately laughed: "You're welcome, that's right."

Fortunately, he didn't drive the person away directly, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

Xia Jingchen grinned at Xia Qingyuan: "Ah, it's really you."

His eyes swept her up and down: "Why are you wearing this?

I almost didn’t recognize it.”

"I just went to the mountain." Xia Qingyuan still answered his question.

She said: "Let's go to my house first."

Xia Jingchen scratched his head uncomfortably: "Okay."

Somehow, he felt that this sister was different from before.

He thought maybe it was because he became an official's wife.

Xia Qingyuan led him inside, and the brother and sister didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xia Jingchen thought of today's mission and felt that he should speak first to ease the atmosphere.

So he said: "I heard that this brother-in-law has become a high official?"

Xia Qingyuan paused and responded: "There is no such thing as a high-ranking official or not, they all serve the people."

Hearing this, Xia Jingchen smiled: "Don't say such nonsense, isn't serving the people also an official?"

He asked Xia Qingyuan: "You haven't told your family about this yet, have you?"

Xia Qingyuan said: "Yeah.

I plan to go back after a while, by the way."

Xia Jingchen's probing words made Xia Qingyuan couldn't help but turn around.

She glanced at Xia Jingchen and didn't want to play dumb with him anymore.

She said: "Second brother, my family doesn't know about Yizhou's work yet, how did you know about it?

Also, weren't you driving around? Why did you come here suddenly?

Besides, how do you know I live here?"
