After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 202 Xu Family School Opens

The pharmacy over there has been almost set up, and all kinds of medicinal materials have been sent over through the medicine merchants.

Now everyone in the courtyard over there was called back home, and Zhang Wentang arranged their food and lodging, and Cui personally taught them how to handle medicinal materials.

Fortunately, the yard is big enough to accommodate so many people. Xu Qinghe specially asked people to clean up a few rooms to store medicinal materials.

The people who can do work in the mansion are divided into men and women. Yuxiu also borrowed some modern assembly line technology and let these people be responsible for the processing of various medicinal materials.

Those who cut pieces are responsible for cutting pieces, those who grind flour are responsible for grinding flour, and there are also those who cook, roll meatballs, bottle... etc. Everyone does their own job and does not interfere with each other's affairs.

Not only will practice make perfect help you do things faster and better, but it will also prevent others from learning your recipe.

Of course, even though these people had signed death contracts, the Xu family still had a trick up their sleeve.

For example, after all the medicinal materials are ground into powder, the specific ratio is still controlled by Cui.

Besides, these prescriptions are engraved in her mind, so even if Yuxiu and Xu Qinghe want to help, they can't do anything.

Seeing Cui busy with her big belly every day, Xu Qinghe was very anxious because he couldn't even understand a prescription. After struggling for a long time, he still asked Yuxiu embarrassedly, if it was too late for him to learn to read at his age?

My dad wants to study hard to reduce the burden on my mom, and this is probably what I want to see.

As for whether it is in time or not, of course it is definitely in time.

Xu Qinghe is now in his early thirties. In his previous life, he would have been a young man who had just entered society and was at the right time to make a name for himself.

Originally, Yuxiu wanted to hire a teacher to teach him, but Xu Qinghe thought about it and went directly to find Yang Laowu, the accountant at home.

Although Yang Laowu did not pass the imperial examination, he was able to teach Xu Qinghe to read and write.

When Yuxiu heard that Yang Laowu agreed to spend an hour every day teaching Xu Qinghe to read, she immediately came up with an idea.

"It's better to let one sheep go or drive a flock of sheep. Why don't we see if other people in the mansion are willing to learn to read and let Uncle Yang teach them together? We can just give him an extra salary every month."

The main thing is that when the pharmacy opens, it will be very inconvenient if everyone is illiterate.

To these maids and servants, anyone who could read and write was considered a very remarkable person, and they could only look up to them and admire them.

Now, when they heard that the host had hired someone to teach them for free, they were very excited.

Every day, their hands and feet became more dexterous when doing the work. When it was the designated time for literacy learning, everyone brought their stools over early and sat upright in rows, just like the primary school students in their previous life.

Yuxiu also asked someone to customize a large blackboard for her, and then exchanged some ordinary chalks from the system space, and a temporary Xu family school was ready.

Yuxiu thought that only the maids and servants were willing to learn to read. For example, Qingdai and Qingzhi beside her and Zisu and Furong beside Cui, they had already asked for their master's consent and went away after finishing their work.

But Yuxiu was shocked when she accompanied Cui to check it out.

The not very big house was packed with people, from the master Xu Qinghe, to Yu Erniu and his son who drove the cart and guarded the gate, as well as Chen and others who were responsible for cooking in the kitchen.

Even the midwives who had followed Cui for a while were sitting upright and listening to the lecture.

Seeing that everyone was studying so hard, Yuxiu and Cui did not disturb them.

The snow was already falling. At first it was just snow particles, but soon it turned into heavy snow like goose feathers.

It seemed as if overnight, the sky and the earth became white.

From a distance, both the roofs and the treetops were covered with snow.

The snow stopped for a while in the morning. Yuxiu stood in the yard and could still hear the sound of children running and laughing on the street outside.

Today, she not only wore thick thermal underwear, but also a soft pure wool sweater.

Even if you wear a handmade cotton coat on the outside, you won’t feel cold at all.

Yuxiu had never seen such heavy snow in her previous life. Now, seeing the whole world covered in white, she felt quite novel.

Now that there are so many people living in the mansion, the housekeeper Zhang Wentang has already arranged a list of people to sweep the snow. At this time, the servants are waving tools such as shovels in their hands, shoveling the thick snow in the yard to the corners of the wall.

They were only responsible for shoveling away the thick snow on top, and a row of maids followed behind to clean up the remaining snow.

A group of people, both men and women, worked together and it was not tiring. They quickly cleared a passage in the yard.

However, this passage did not last long, because snowflakes soon began to fall from the sky again, and soon the path was covered again.

Yuxiu rubbed her fingers and went to Cui's yard. Her father had already gone to the front yard to watch those people working. Cui was also wearing thick clothes and sitting in front of the window watching people in the yard sweeping snow.

"Mom, don't catch a cold."

Yuxiu went over and closed the window, and asked the maids who were busy in the yard to do other things.

"It would be fine if there was a passable path. The snow will continue to fall anyway, so even if we shovel the snow clean, it will be a waste of effort."

The maids withdrew in response, and Cui smiled and asked Yuxiu:

"Do you remember that it rarely snows heavily in Xujia Village? That year, it snowed for several days before a layer of snow finally accumulated on the ground..."

There was a hint of bitterness in Cui's voice. Yuxiu knew that she was thinking about the days when she was mistreated in Lao Xu's family, so she quickly took over the conversation.

"How could I forget that? I remember that it snowed for several days. We couldn't go up the mountain or down the field, so Dad stayed at home with us. He worked for a long time and finally built a snowman half a person's height in front of the door..."

In the original owner's memory, this incident was also deeply engraved in her heart.

In order to build the snowman that day, Xu Qinghe shoveled all the snow in front of Old Xu's house by himself. After working for a long time, he finally built a snowman half a person's height.

Yuxiu was still young at that time. She was so happy to see the snowman that she sang and danced around it. However, before she could be happy for a while, the snowman was kicked to the ground by the brothers Xu Wenlin from the first wife.

The original owner cried and stepped forward to stop them, but not only did they not stop, they also picked up snowballs on the ground and threw them at the original owner.

The original owner was just a little girl of seven or eight years old. She was born thin and small like a bean sprout. How could she be a match for those naughty boys?
