Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Hiring a Tutor

Song Yi walked over and picked up the weapons made by the female comrades, observing them carefully.

"The tip shouldn’t be too fine, it’s prone to weakness.

Besides, the transition here should not be too abrupt, but gradually change..."

Everyone listened patiently—after all, these were survival skills. Once learned, they could be of use.

"Okay, take a look and pick out the usable ones, set aside those that need improvement separately, and we’ll whittle down some more."

"Sure!"

At this time, no one considered Song Yi to be fussing too much; on the contrary, everyone was worried that what they had made was not good enough and that it might affect the setup of traps.

After all, it was a matter of life and death, and no one dared to be careless.

Meanwhile, the others were also bustling with activity. Jhiang Yuan took out some leftover beads.

She didn’t know what Song Yi was planning to do, but cooperated unconditionally.

Her condition was quite stable, although the symptoms of her cold were quite evident.

With so many people around, she feared it might be contagious, so in the afternoon,

she was not asked to come and help. After spending time together for a while, no one would make much of an issue.

Jhiang Yuan also felt somewhat exhausted and simply took a nap. Xiao Nuan needed her afternoon sleep, too,

fearing she might disturb her daughter, she put her on the bed in the space.

She herself took a lounge chair and rested by the window, keeping an eye on her daughter without risking contagion.

About two hours later, Jhiang Yuan carried her daughter out. She brought out some educational books from the space intended for kindergarten-aged kids.

The family had plenty of storybooks and picture books to learn about various things.

In addition, she had prepared two sets of various notebooks, pencils, watercolor pens, and crayons.

After doing this, she went back into the space to check on the beans that had been soaking since yesterday.

They had swollen up nicely and were ready for planting, but the ground wasn’t turned over yet.

What they now lacked were some modern tools, like a rotary tiller, a seed drill, an irrigation pump, et cetera.

What a pity that they hadn’t prepared those back then, and now they couldn’t leave to get them.

Xiao Nuan woke up, but she was not idle. They had bought a lot of frozen glutinous rice balls before.

She cooked a large pot and then poured in a large jar of hawthorn preserves.

Many of these rice balls had black sesame filling, which Jhiang Yuan found too sweet, but they were perfect paired with the tart hawthorn preserves.

The sweet and sour combination created a heavenly flavor.

Moreover, in such cold weather, having a bowl of it was very warming.

The little girl was unsettled, giving her mother a puzzled look.

"Mom, why are you making this food for everyone?

You said we shouldn’t share, didn’t you?"

Uh, her daughter’s inquisitive gaze made her unsure what to say.

"Xiao Nuan, that’s because it’s a special situation now.

Look, you and Mom haven’t gone to help because Mom is sick and Xiao Nuan is still little. So everyone takes care of us.

But we’ll also benefit from the efforts of the uncles and aunties, so I need to do something else; otherwise, everyone would feel uncomfortable."

"Alright!"

The little girl nodded, partly understanding but utterly adorable.

"However, you did very well, Xiao Nuan. Remember, you mustn’t tell anyone about your things and cannot share with others.

Even if it is for Mom, grandma, or Grandpa, it must be done stealthily so that no one else finds out."

"But Mom, when is it time to share? Like now?"

"Hmm..."

Jhiang Yuan drew out her hum, posed in thought, then earnestly replied to her daughter.

"Xiao Nuan just needs to remember what Mom told you just now. Mom will tell you when it’s time to share.

When you’re a little older, you’ll naturally understand."

When she was young, she felt strongly averse to the idea that she’d understand things when she grew up.

Now, ironically, she found herself saying the same words to her daughter.

However, this also made her realize the importance of education.

A child, aside from learning knowledge, also has to comprehend some things on their own.

This is something that cannot be missed at all, and is also what she taught by example, which might have been lacking.

"Let’s go, we will deliver the tangyuan to everyone."

"Okay!"

The little girl, holding a disposable lunch box, followed her obediently.

Outside, everyone was bustling about busily.

Seeing her come out, Qin Yue immediately started fussing.

"My girl, have you taken your medicine? Just stay inside, it’s very cold out here..."

"Mom, I’ve taken my medicine, I’m fine.

Everyone has been working hard, I’ve boiled some tangyuan, let everyone come and have some!"

Qin Yue hurried to invite everyone, and Zhang Kaiyang came over, attracted by the smell.

It was the Liang Kang family that felt a bit embarrassed.

Jhiang Yuan served everyone, and Qin Yue helped divide it up, so everyone got a portion.

They used disposable lunch boxes and spoons, all very clean!

"Xiao Ling, come, this is for Jingjing!"

"Ah..."

Xiao Ling was pleasantly surprised; after all, they were working for their own sake.

Their relationship with people like Ye Mianmian was different; they had always been together.

In comparison, they felt like mere tag-alongs.

Unexpectedly, Jhiang Yuan even called her out proactively, offering significant comfort.

"This is for you; eat a bit more..."

"Thank you..."

Looking at the bowl of tangyuan, she suddenly felt like crying.

To avoid awkwardness, she deliberately ran to a corner to eat with her daughter.

After distributing the food, Jhiang Yuan came over with Xiao Nuan.

Xiao Ling quickly stood up and offered her little stool to Xiao Nuan.

"It’s okay, you sit, the little girl can stand for a while."

"How can we let the child stand? Xiao Nuan, come and sit with your sister."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

The little girl happily ran over and sat next to Jingjing.

"Such good manners!"

Xiao Ling was generous with her praise, knowing that complimenting Xiao Nuan was better than complimenting Jhiang Yuan directly.

It could please Jhiang Yuan and would not seem like she was flattering her too much.

"By the way, Xiao Ling, if I remember correctly, you used to be a teacher?"

"Yes, I was an elementary school teacher. With the current situation, I don’t know how the children in my class are doing!"

With a sigh, Jhiang Yuan could see that she was genuinely worried about the children.

Maybe, she truly was a good teacher.

"Xiao Ling, if you’re not busy, could you teach Xiao Nuan a bit?

She hasn’t attended kindergarten yet and doesn’t need anything too complicated."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling was overjoyed.

She loved the educational field, and the chance to return to her old profession made her very happy.

"Of course, I can. I’ve almost been growing mold at home every day.

With the weather like this, I can’t go out anyway, and it would be nice for the two kids to have each other’s company."

Jhiang Yuan was also happy to see her agree.

"Good, once everything is wrapped up here, come over to my house and bring Jingjing with you.

I’ll give you five kilos of rice or wheat flour every week..."

"No need, no need..."

Xiao Ling quickly waved her hand to refuse: "It’s no trouble at all, and besides, I enjoy teaching, so I don’t need anything!"
