The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 395 Inviting people
"Sister Liang Xue, what are you laughing at?" Little Ayu asked.

Liang Xue laughed for a while before stopping, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "You're not in the village, so you probably don't know, but the village holds a small temple fair every ten days, and that's where the real grand opera is performed."

Speaking of which, today is the tenth day of the third lunar month. However, due to the upcoming busy farming season and the fact that Hujia Village is also busy with school affairs, they notified all the villages early on that the small temple fairs in the next two months will be temporarily suspended.

Little Ayu looked around and asked, "Ah, today is the 10th, why isn't it here?"

"The village is building a school, so there's no time for the temple fair, so we'll put it on hold for now." Hu Xiaotong patted Xiao Ayu's shoulder and casually changed the subject. "Ayu, come with me to put down the medicine basket first. The village is going to be lively."

None of the Wang family boys came back with them. Tangyuan had just come down the mountain when he was called away to help again, so Hu Xiaotong volunteered to look after Xiao Ayu.

Little Ayu quickly replied, "Okay, okay!"

After Hu Xiaotong led Xiao Ayu away, Liang Xue bit her lip in place.

What's going on with this Dr. Hu?

When we first went into the mountains to collect herbs, we didn't see such indifference. What's going on here all of a sudden?

Is he afraid that she will become a female doctor and steal his title as a doctor?

Liang Xue rolled her eyes inwardly, just as a villager next to her greeted her.

"Liang Xue, you went to the mountains to gather herbs again? Doctor Xue is really something, making you, a young girl, go to the mountains every day." The villager said disapprovingly.

“My master is doing this for my own good. When it comes to learning medicine, you have to do it yourself to know what is good and what is bad.”

"You're so eager to learn. But you're a girl, so be careful when you go into the mountains and don't hurt yourself."

"Ah."

Liang Xue smiled, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.

She wasn't from Hujia Village, and her connection with the Wang family was awkward; her only link was Doctor Xue.

As long as Doctor Xue doesn't deliberately mistreat her and genuinely teaches her medicine, a little hardship and fatigue are no problem.

Once she finishes her studies, she definitely won't stay in these mountains.

I'll open a clinic in the county town someday, and make those who look down on me look at me with new respect.

Thinking this, Liang Xue glanced at the long procession again, then walked away without looking back.

Whoever comes, it's none of my business.

After a long while, Xiao Ayu couldn't help but ask Hu Xiaotong, "Brother Xiaotong, do you not like Sister Liang Xue?"

"You figured it out?" Hu Xiaotong answered while tidying up her things in the yard.

"When Brother Xiaotong doesn't like someone, his eyes don't light up," Little Ayu pointed to Hu Xiaotong's eyes. "Is it because there's something wrong with Sister Liang Xue?"

Hu Xiaotong: "There's nothing wrong with it. I'm a man and she's a woman. It's not good for us to be too close."

Liang Xue was originally going to go to the mountains with Hu Xiaotong to collect herbs, but Hu Xiaotong was somewhat unwilling.

In fact, Hu Xiaotong's dislike for Liang Xue was not without reason.

Once, the two met by chance in the mountains, and Liang Xue almost fell. She instinctively grabbed Hu Xiaotong's hand.

Before Hu Xiaotong could say anything, Liang Xue's face turned red.

Hu Xiaotong, who is almost 15 this year, also understands some things about men and women. Seeing Liang Xue blush, he, who originally did not think anything of it, also felt extremely embarrassed.

From then on, he would avoid Liang Xue whenever he saw her.

This time, it was Xiao Ayu who saw him and wanted to go with him to the mountains to collect herbs. It wasn't going to the deep mountains, so it wasn't dangerous, and Hu Xiaotong agreed.

As a result, Liang Xue suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said she wanted to go together.

Hu Xiaotong thought to herself, "Liang Xue must be 16 this year, right?"

He's only 14 years old. Does she want to take advantage of a young girl?
The thought of this made Hu Xiaotong feel uneasy all over.

He didn't mind that his wife was also studying medicine, and his mother would sometimes help with the medical consultations.

But he's very bothered by girls older than him having feelings for him!

"Is this what the Master meant by 'boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven'?" Little Ayu shook her head and did some mental calculations. "I'll be four years old this year, so in three more years, I won't be able to go up the mountain to collect herbs with Brother Xiaotong."

Little Ayu said with utmost seriousness, "Otherwise, the villagers will gossip about us, won't they?"

Hu Xiaotong: "..."

Hu Xiaotong looked at Xiao Ayu, who wasn't even as tall as his waist, and was speechless for a moment. Even if the villagers were blind, they couldn't be this blind.

"Young master, the old lady is looking for you!" Tangyuan ran over breathlessly.

Seeing that Xiao Ayu's hands were covered in mud, he took out a handkerchief and wiped them for her.

Little Ayu obediently let her wipe it, then took out a handkerchief from the inner pocket of her own pocket and stood on tiptoe to wipe the sweat off Tangyuan's face.

"Ayu, you go first." Since someone else had taken over, Hu Xiaotong wasn't in a hurry to go and watch the excitement.

He didn't like joining in those kinds of commotion anyway.

Tangyuan led Xiao Ayu away and said to her on the way, "It seems that the tutor that Lord Zhang invited has arrived. Lord Zhang also brought some things home."

Little Ayu quickly asked, "Do you have any for me? Do you have any for me?"

"Of course there is! This is to tell you to go back and see." Tangyuan couldn't help but laugh as she watched Xiao Ayu jump three feet high.

If the Wang family gets something good, everyone else might not have it, but Xiao Ayu will definitely get her share.

"Will there be a letter from Brother Ayou?" Little Ayu began to daydream again.

Actually, I only received the letter from Madam Qin on the Flower Festival. Even if there were more, it would still be more than half a month before I received any more.

"Maybe there is," Tangyuan coaxed her.

When they returned to Old Wang's house, they found that many people were already sitting in the large courtyard.

Even on the big rock in front, several children were squatting.

Everyone craned their necks to look inside.

"So many teachers!"

"Are all of these meant to teach us how to read?"

“I saw two older people and several younger ones.”

“My mother said that people with skills become more valuable as they get older, so the older a person is, the more skilled they must be.”

"Anyway, we'll find out when we get to the school."

"Actually, I don't want to go to school. When Grandpa Hu was Mr. Hu, I saw many people being spanked, and they were screaming in pain."

The courtyard was filled with villagers watching the spectacle. Inside the main hall of the Wang family's house sat eight tutors, and outside were more than ten government officials.

The teachers were originally going to the village chief's house, but the officials went directly to Old Wang's house, so they naturally followed.

Old Wang and Wang Chuanfu were in charge of receiving guests this time. Old Mrs. Wang directed Feng to work with Liang Xue in the kitchen, boiling water, making tea, and preparing snacks for everyone.

Seeing that Tangyuan had returned, Grandma Wang asked Tangyuan to help greet everyone.

Although Tangyuan was young, she was very experienced and quickly found many benches to calm down the noisy people in the yard.

These past few days, Ouyang Changjing, Ouyang Pei, and the others haven't been able to find an opportunity to talk to Old Madam Wang in detail.

Now that so many people have come to their house, they can only wait anxiously at Qin Huai's house next door.

The group of them were sitting in the courtyard talking.

Suddenly, Old Wang's family's glutinous rice balls arrived, and someone called out from outside the fence, "Young Master Ouyang, Young Master Ouyang!"

Ouyang Changjing and Ouyang Pei looked over at the same time.

Ouyang Pei: "What is it?"

This is because they finally remembered that they had been too neglectful of them and wanted to invite them over as guests.

Ouyang Pei had already figured out how to refuse first.

Tangyuan: "We're a bit busy over there, and we're short on firewood in the kitchen. The old lady asked me to come and ask if we could borrow some of your family's firewood?"

Ouyang Changjing: "?"

Ouyang Pei: "?"

Attendants and guards: "..."
