Chapter 577 No wonder you look down on Ali
Xia Wanniang was unaware of Wu Xiao's actions. Rather than asking Wu Xiao to give her gold and silver, what she needed most was a person who could teach her children to read.
Since the other armies of Daxia had given up the women's camp, she naturally had to fulfill her promise to send them military supplies and equipment, even as this year's New Year's gift.
When Aunt Xiao was in Northwest City, she had already given out the New Year gifts to everyone.
There is nothing worth giving them from the Northwest now, but maybe we can send them local specialties next year.
After returning to the familiar North City, Xiao Chiye received the news and was waiting for them at the door of his house.
Yu Wanwan looked at Xiao Chiye: "No wonder you look down on Xu Li."
Xiao Chiye was somewhat puzzled when he heard this and looked at his wife: "Wanwan?"
Xia Wanniang walked up to him with a smile: "My dear, this is Master Xu's wife-to-be."
Xiao Chiye immediately understood that this person was Yu Wanwan: "You kidnapped this person back, won't Ah Li be furious?"
Yu Wanwan pouted: "He won't do that, and I'm not his unmarried wife."
She felt a little sad again when she said this.
Xiao Zimu and the others walked up to her and said, "Aunt Yu, I'll take you to visit North City."
When Yu Wanwan heard this, she threw away her melancholy and said, "Okay! Okay!" and ran away with the children.
Xiao Chiye looked at his two daughters who tilted their heads to look at him, squatted down and opened his arms: "You haven't seen Daddy for such a long time, don't you remember him?"
As soon as Xibao and Xile heard the familiar voice, they immediately rushed towards him with their short legs.
Xiao Chiye was afraid that his two precious daughters would fall, so he took a few steps forward and hugged them both in his arms.
The two children hugged one side of his neck, laughing happily: "Dad!"
When Xiao Chiye heard the word "Dad", he felt so happy that he almost overflowed.
Rouyue took Xiao Xingyue to the pharmacy to see Manager Hong. The plague and war outside the Great Wall had not yet ended, so Manager Hong was in the North City to deal with some follow-up matters.
Xia Wanniang wanted to go see Zhu Yao's spice shop: "Mom, I'm going to see Zhu Yao's spice shop, do you want to go with me?"
"Okay, we have nothing to do now, let's go and take a look together." Aunt Xiao asked Qiu He and Chai Song to stay and pack their luggage.
There are quite a lot of people at the spice shop. There is also a spice shop outside the customs next to it, whose business is slightly worse than ours.
The two did not go in, but saw Zhu Yao outside the door explaining to the guests the effects, taste, etc. of each spice.
The spices sold in their shop include wearable sachets, incense sticks, etc. There are many varieties, and they are all handmade.
Aunt Xiao looked at Zhu Yao who was talking eloquently and said: "This child has finally come into her own. It's not in vain that you have spent so much time cultivating her."
There are many things Xia Wanniang wants to do, but she doesn't have many people she can use, so she hopes that children like Zhu Yao will be able to stand on their own one day.
Even without her protection, they can still live well in this world and be accepted by the world.
The two waited until there were fewer customers in the store before going in. Zhu Yao was preparing spices with his head down. When he noticed someone coming in, he looked up and said, "Guest... Madam, Madam, when did you come back?"
Zhu Yao no longer stuttered when speaking, and spoke fluently.
Xia Wanniang looked at her with a smile: "I just came back today, and came to see if you have bankrupted my spice shop."
Zhu Yao immediately waved his hand: "No, no." He handed her the account book and said: "This is the account book for this period of time."
Seeing her expectant look, Xia Wanniang did not refuse and opened the account book to check.
The spice shop's business has always been relatively stable, except for a slight fluctuation for a period of time. She calculated the time and knew it was after Wandong and the others left.
Zhu Yao wanted to see where her eyes rested: "I'm sorry, ma'am, the business during that period was my problem."
Xia Wanniang closed the account book and patted her on the shoulder: "How do you feel now? Is speaking not as difficult as you thought?"
Zhu Yao smiled and nodded: "I really like this feeling."
"Can you handle the busy shop?" Xia Wanniang and the others wanted to train her, but they didn't hire anyone for her.
