Song Yue asked in a businesslike manner: "If you want me to teach you, how are you going to pay for the tuition?"
Bai Xiu looked at her sister with a troubled look.
Bai Xian tried his best to control the traces of happiness in his heart: "Thank you, Big Brother Song Yue. I'm currently helping Little Xiu register at the academy.
Song Yue looked at this girl who spoke with false sincerity. She had clearly already been rejected by the teacher, but she was still as stubborn as before. "The teacher has already rejected you, you still want to beg him?"
Bai Xian was startled, how did Song Yue know that he had been rejected by the teacher? Could it be that was following him?
Song Yue was aware of his slip of the tongue, and rubbed his nose: "My promise will be effective for three days." With that, he left.
Bai Xian looked at Bai Xiu, who had a face full of desire, and sighed softly. In her previous life, her brother had always been a domineering and arrogant person.
Now that her brother had become so shy and reserved, she felt sad for some reason. "Little Xiu, we'll discuss this when we get home. Let's make the dishes first."
When cooking today, Bai Xian obviously noticed that Bai Xiu was a little absent-minded, and he passed the wrong seasoning to Bai Xian a few times.
Bai Xian placed the dishes neatly on the table, fiercely glared at the perpetrator, and pulled Bai Xiu home.
Song Cheng patted Song Yue's shoulder: "Aiyo, Xiao Qing, are you angry?"
Seeing that he was a patient, Song Yue did not want to bicker with him, so he replied with a straight face: "Don't spout nonsense, it will affect the reputation of this lady."
Bai Xian, who was walking home with his head held low, naturally did not know of Song Yue's concern for him. She probingly asked Bai Xiu: "Little Xiu, do you really want to study?"
Bai Xiu smiled bashfully, "Elder sister, I want to become an Elementary Scholar, I want to become a high official so that I can protect you and mother."
Bai Xian's eyes suddenly became moist, she looked at her brother's eyes that were shining, and smiled as she nodded: "Little Xiu, I will also protect you and mother."
After the Bai Family members finished their lunch, Bai Xian helped Bai’s mother into her room. Ever since Bai Xian started making money, she invited a doctor into her house to treat Bai’s mother's illness.
Bai’s mother's condition was much better now. She looked at Bai Xian: "Xian Er, what do you have to say?"
Bai Xian scratched his head, "Mother, I will go and register for my little brother today.
Bai Xian was worried that she would suddenly say that Song Yue was going to teach Bai Xiu, so he decided to drag it out first.
Bai’s mother's eyes suddenly turned red: "I knew it, ever since we moved to the village, they have all looked down on us and bullied us."
When Bai Xian saw that he had angered his mother, he quickly told her the rest of the story. "Brother Song took the initiative and asked me to teach you."
Bai’s mother's tears stopped abruptly, "Really? Do you have any conditions? "
Bai Xian shook her head in shame. It was her fault for not asking Song Yue clearly and interrupting him.
The Bai’s mother said: "Didn't you say that the Song Family is rich? They definitely do not lack wealth. We must give them some good things that they do not have as tuition fees." As she spoke, she stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist.
Bai Xian anxiously waved his hand to stop her: "Mother, you should keep your jade bangle for yourself, I know what Brother Song needs."
The Song brothers didn't know much, especially when it came to cooking. They really didn't know anything, but whether it was their handicapped brother or their dull brother, they were both very picky.
Bai Xian was drawing on the table, preparing to cook a meal tomorrow to thank Song Yue.
The morning of the second day, Bai Xian pulled Bai Xiu along and the two of them first delivered the orders to the Hu Butcher, then went to the Song Family to cook.
After some work, Song Cheng supported himself up to the pavilion, and looked at the Red Braised Lion's Head, shredded meat with Beijing Jam, stir-fried vegetables, and Red Braised Chicken nuggets that were placed on the stone table.
Song Yue secretly glared at him. She had clearly seen food that was even more delicious than the one Bai Xian cooked, yet she wanted to act like a greedy cat.
Bai Xian dragged Bai Xiu to Song Yue's side and said, "Brother Song Yue, it was my mistake yesterday, I apologize to you first." She bowed towards Song Yue, who followed suit.
She continued: "Brother Song Yue, my brother truly wants to study. He hopes that you can become his teacher."
Song Yue patted Bai Xiu's head. Originally, he didn't want Bai Xian to frown and wanted to be Bai Xiu's teacher.
However, when he saw that Bai Xiu was completely sincere, he did not want to refuse: "Okay, but first, I will only be in charge of teaching him for three months. As for what he can learn in three months, that has nothing to do with me."
Before Bai Xian could say anything, Bai Xiu kneeled down first. "Thank you, Teacher Song."
Now that things had gotten to this point, Bai Xian naturally had to respect his younger brother's wishes. "Big Brother Song Yue, let me exchange the tuition fees for Little Xiu with some delicacies, alright?
I'll give you guys another dish at noon every day, or a delicacy that you guys definitely haven't eaten before. How about it? "
Song Yue nodded, he was not lacking in money anyway, so he might as well eat more.
He looked at Bai Xiu and said, "From now on, you will have lunch at my house every day. After lunch, we will begin to study and I will not interfere with you other times."
Bai Xiu nodded obediently and pulled her sister's hand. Bai Xian gratefully glanced at Song Yue, and saw that the other party had avoided his eyes in an instant.
On the way home, Bai Xian said to Bai Xiu: "Little Xiu, from now on, you don't have to help me with my work anymore.
Bai Xiu pursed her lips: "Elder sister, that won't do. It's hard for you alone, I have to help you. Anyway, Teacher Song told me to study in the afternoon."
Bai Xian tapped Bai Xiu on the forehead: "Since he said that we will be having lessons in the afternoon, then aren't you able to consolidate your knowledge during the rest of the time?"
Bai Xiu held his forehead and looked at his sister in a daze: "Sis, I'm going to help you anyways."
Bai’s mother was now able to stand up and walk a little. She was currently brewing porridge in the kitchen, when she saw Bai Xian and Bai Xiu walking in one after the other.
The Bai’s mother said with a smile, "Xian Er, Xiu'er, you're back?"
This was the first time Bai Xiu ran back to his own room without saying much to his mother. Bai Xian felt helpless looking at his back.
Bai’s mother asked: "Did you two fight?"
Bai Xian told Bai’s mother everything in detail. "Mother, I'm afraid I'll waste Little Xiu's time."
Bai’s mother suddenly looked strangely at Bai Xian. Her daughter was the same as her husband, a person who only knew how to think for others.
The Bai’s mother said, "I know that you siblings love each other dearly. Forget it, you guys decide for yourself."
However, Bai Xian was still defeated by Bai Xiu during dinner time. Bai Xiu rushed to make dinner, and invited his mother and sister to eat it.
At the dining table, Bai Xiu said, "Big sister, if you insist on making it yourself, I won't be reading with big brother Song Yue."
Bai Xian glared fiercely at him: "Little brat, you still want to threaten me? Whether you read or not, I don't need your help from tomorrow onwards, do you? "
Hiding on the wall, Song Yue almost couldn't hold back his laughter. This girl was really too shrewd.
