Chapter 51 Getting Ready

"Hi girl, I don't know how old is your younger sister? Have you ever learned how to read and write?"

Knowing that the person in front of her is Mr. Jiang Yao, it was the first time for Jiang Yao to see a teacher as a parent, and she felt a little bit like an enemy.

Fortunately, she had been to many occasions in her previous life, so she didn't show timidity, and replied respectfully and politely: "Hi sir, my sister is ten years old and three autumns old."

"Because the family was poor, I didn't study formally. But my sister is eager to learn, and she has taught herself a little at home."

"It's a hardworking one." The woman nodded slightly with a smile on her face, with appreciation in her eyes.

Planning to enroll, Jiang Yao did not pretend to be modest, and followed the woman's words.

"Yes, my sister has always been very diligent. When I'm not at home, she and my mother are often involved in the family affairs. Even so, my sister still uses her spare time to read books."

"I thought, my sister likes reading so much, I should send him to a private school to study hard."

"Well, from what you've said, she should have a good character, just..." The woman suddenly paused regretfully, with a slightly struggling look on her face.

"Sir, do you have any other requests?"

"Your sister is a bit older than the other female students."

"It is precisely because of this that I finally saved some money, so I immediately came to find a private school for her." Thinking that the woman did not directly refuse, Jiang Yao pondered in her mind and continued to fight for her sister.

"Please rest assured, sir. Although my sister is older, she is by no means stupid, and she will not bully other younger ones. I can assure you of this."

It was rare to see her elder sister think about her younger sister like this, the woman was slightly moved, as if she thought of someone else through Jiang Yao.

Taking Jiang Yao around the outer courtyard for another half an hour, the woman finally spoke again with a smile.

"In this way, we will have a new class starting next month, would you like to let your sister try?"

"Of course!"

Hearing that her younger sister could go, Jiang Yao naturally agreed. Thinking of the ten or so taels of silver left in her hand, she asked, "I wonder how much the new class needs to pay in a year?"

"Know it in advance, so I can save it earlier, so as not to delay my sister's enrollment."

"Take 24 taels a year. But I have a close eye with you. If your family is really in trouble, I can also be a guarantee for you to pay once a month."

"Thank you sir for your kindness, I will save enough bundles for my sister."

Seeing that Jiang Yao did not agree to her kindness, the woman did not show any displeasure, her tone was very approachable.

"That's fine. If you have any trouble signing up, someone can lead you to find me. My name is Lu Li."

"Okay, little girl, thank Mr. Lu again."

After discussing about studying, Jiang Yao followed Lu Li to visit the two primary schools in the outer courtyard, and then left Hanmei Private School.

She learned from Lu Li that there are students attending classes in the main hall of the inner courtyard every day, so outsiders are not allowed to visit except on registration day and after students leave school every day.

Jiang Yao can understand this point, after all, no one likes to have people walking around outside when they are in class, especially this is still in ancient times, and all the students in the school are women.

It can be seen that the good reputation of Hanmei Private School is real, accumulated from the details, not a false name.

Considering that her younger sister will enter a private school next month, Jiang Yao felt that buying books for her younger sister might not be enough.

She should also prepare a pen and ink for her younger sister, lest she go to a private school later without knowing the basics of pen use.

Just about to go to the bookstore near the private school to buy pens and inks, Jiang Yao had just walked two steps, when she caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of her eye, she was so startled that she quickly retreated to hide behind a big tree.

It's so dangerous, it turned out to be Jiang Xue'an!
Fortunately, she hid quickly and was not seen.

Otherwise, if she knew that the second younger sister would come to Hanmei Private School to study, she didn't know what would happen!
Looking at Jiang Xuean's appearance, his face was full of oil, he didn't look like he was poor and down and out, on the contrary, he showed the pride of a nouveau riche, and the shock in Jiang Yao's heart deepened a little.

Although she didn't know where Jiang Xuean got the money to live a happy life, she had an intuition in her heart.

Such a "good" day, Jiang Xue'an will not last long, and he will definitely come to trouble his mother and the others when the time comes.

She's not afraid, but it doesn't mean she likes to be disturbed often.

Jiang Yao didn't see Jiang Xue'an looking at her, she thought about how to deal with it, and walked away quietly.

Went to another bookstore and bought pens and ink for the second sister, Jiang Yao finally figured out a way.

I hurried to Dr. Li's pharmacy, and asked Dr. Li to prepare a few doses of Mongolian perspiration medicine for animals under the pretext that it was not safe to go up the mountain to collect herbs.

Then she turned around and went to several blacksmith shops in the town, bought a little from each of them, and gathered together the materials for making hand crossbows.

The reason why she had to go to several houses was also for her own safety.

When she read miscellaneous books about hand crossbow making techniques, it was mentioned in the book that weapons were strictly controlled in ancient times.

She bought the materials in bulk, and every little thing became inconspicuous. In addition, there was competition among blacksmith shops, so it was basically impossible to guess what she wanted to do.

Putting everything back into the small back basket, Jiang Yao sneered.

If Jiang Xuean dares to disturb their lives again, she must let Jiang Xuean know what regret is!

In the end, nothing happened to Jiang Xuean, but her trouser legs were bitten by two little guys.

"Let go! If I bite someone else, how can I afford it, old man!"

When the old man saw the little white dog he was selling biting someone, he panicked, and hurried forward, and grabbed the two little guys back with a rough action.

"Girl, I'm sorry, old man, I just said a few words to someone else, but I didn't expect these two bastards to come up and bite you. Is your leg okay?"

I thought the old man was grumpy, but she was wrong, and he was quite friendly.

Seeing the panic and anxiety on the old man's face, Jiang Yao hurriedly smiled and shook her head in response.

"It's okay, they just bit the bottom of their trousers and didn't touch my leg."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yao squatted down to look at the two little guys. The two little guys seemed to feel her gaze, and instantly became active again, scrambling to rush towards her, but they were stopped by the fence.

"Master, what breed are these two?" Jiang Yao was a little puzzled, she felt that they looked a little like cats, but they didn't sound like cats.

Even though she had seen many breeds of dogs in her previous life, she had never seen one like this, so she suddenly became interested.

Seeing Jiang Yao's expression, the old man knew something was going on, and quickly grabbed one of the little guys and handed it to Jiang Yao to hug.

"To be honest, I just picked it up on the mountain, old man. I don't know the species. It was going to rain heavily at the time, and I was afraid that the two little bastards would get wet, so I took it home."

"But don't worry, the two of them are easy to take care of, and they are also good at taking care of the home. If the family is not poor, I might continue to take care of the old man."

"Guarding the nursing home..." Jiang Yao said in a low voice, Jiang Xue'an's figure involuntarily appeared in her mind, and her thoughts were racing.
