Gu Yundong’s eyebrows twitched. She quickly turned around to look for it and heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they were only three meters away and were not lost.
She held Gu Yunshu’s hand and turned back. She saw the two of them staring at a stall selling pears.
Madam Yang swallowed and whispered, “I’m not hungry.”
Gu Yunke sniffed hard. “I just want to smell it. 1 don’t want to eat it.”
As the two of them spoke, they carefully moved their feet, wanting to leave the fruit stall. However… they did not succeed. After moving for a long time, they only managed to move half a meter.
On the other hand, the old man selling pears was doing his best to persuade the customers to stay. “These pears are very crispy and have a lot of juice. They’re sweet and delicious. Why don’t you buy two for the children? They’re not expensive. They’re all planted by my family. One copper coin for each.”
Gu Yundong had already walked up to her. Seeing this, she could not help but rub her forehead. She had fruits in her spatial storage, but other than the few apples she took out last time, she did not take any out.
One reason was that it was inconvenient to live in someone else’s house. The other reason was that there were few fruits here. Coupled with the season, there were even fewer ripe fruits now.
Just like apples, they couldn’t even be bought in the county.
The pears looked good. She looked at the stall in front of her and gave the stall owner 30 copper coins. She picked 30 pears.
The old man’s eyes lit up. He even gave her two more for free.
Gu Yundong wiped them with a handkerchief and gave them one each. Madam Yang happily took a bite. But Gu Yunke frowned and looked up at Gu Yundong. She said seriously, “I’m just smelling it.”
“Hmm?”
“I don’t want to buy it.” She was sensible.
Gu Yundong also nodded seriously. “Yes, Eldest Sister wants to buy it. But let’s agree that you’re not allowed to stop while walking next time. Even if you want to smell it, you have to tell Eldest Sister first, understand? Otherwise, if Eldest Sister didn’t notice, you and Mother will be lost.”
Next time, she would hold the young lady’s hand and let Gu Yunshu hold Madam Yang’s hand.
Gu Yunke nodded. “Okay, I’ll be obedient.”
“Let’s eat.”
Only then did the little girl bite hard, so sweet that her eyes narrowed.
Gu Yundong saw that it was getting late and she had finished asking about the school. She ate a bowl of noodles at the noodle stall and brought her family back to Yongfu Village.
Gu Yunshu got into the carriage and remembered something. “Eldest Sister, Niu Dan is still in Wen Mo Hall. If the teacher teaches him wrongly, will it be bad for Niu Dan? 1 have to tell Niu Dan.”
Gu Yundong was stunned. “This matter…” She thought for a moment. “Don’t say anymore. I’ll talk to the village chief later.”
However, she felt that nothing would change. She did not agree with the teacher’s concept, but most people in this era might still think that he was right.
They felt that since they were studying, they should focus on one goal and not be distracted by anything else. Especially in the countryside, where their knowledge was limited, they felt that students should focus all their energy on studying.
Going to the fields? We have parents and grandparents at home. We don’t need you.
Gu Yundong shook her head and drove the carriage back to Yongfu Village.
Madam Dong was at home, holding the cloth that Gu Yundong had brought over and making clothes for them.
Seeing them enter, she quickly stood up and helped lead the carriage into the courtyard.
After she tied the reins, she whispered to Gu Yundong, “You didn’t know that the Hu family was up to no good again after you left today.”
Because Hu Liang always caused trouble for Gu Yundong, Madam Dong could not help but pay more attention to the Hu family.
Fortunately, he wasn’t looking for trouble with her this time..
