C72 Departure the day after tomorrow (1/2)

Surprise flashed across Cheng Yan's eyes. She had thought that Xu Hui would want to keep her distance from him after hearing that she was a widow, but didn't expect her reaction to be so dull. Cheng Yan looked at Xu Hui suspiciously, ”What do you want to buy?”

Xu Hui placed the spices in her hand on the table. ”Call each of these ten grams.”

Cheng Yan looked at the thing that Xu Hui wanted and could not help but frown. ”Just these two things alone are not enough to produce incense, what are you going to buy them for?”

”Naturally, it's to make friends by buying incense.” Xu Hui did not mind at all and told him her purpose. Cheng Yan pursed her lips: ”Are you from that house that you moved in this morning? Just north of town. ”

Xu Hui nodded, ”Yes.” ”Why aren't you afraid of me?” Cheng Yan asked again. Xu Hui smiled. Why not? She was only a widow, and only in an era with pedantic ideas would people reject him as someone with an unknown identity. However, she herself was not one of them, so if she really wanted to say something about herself, she should be the one feared.

Xu Hui shook her head: ”Life and death are decided by fate, wealth are in the sky. However, I am a person who only believes in my own fate and not my own, so I have never been afraid of such things. ”

Hearing Xu Hui's words, Cheng Yan said, ”If that's the case, then I'll make this friend of yours. If you need anything from me in the future, just come to my shop. As for the rest, slowly understand.”

Xu Hui smiled and nodded, she wanted to extend her hand to give the money to buy the spice to Cheng Yan, but Cheng Yan did not accept it.

Since Cheng Yan had already said this much, Xu Hui naturally did not force him. She only thought to give one to Cheng Yan the next time she weaved something.

Niuniu pouted. ”Waiting for sister-in-law at home.” Seeing Niuniu's obedient look, Xu Hui thought that since he did not have the ability to let her go to school, he could teach her how to write normally since he had nothing to do at home.

Thinking of this, Xu Hui squatted down and looked at Niuniu. ”Niuniu is very obedient today, but we need to learn how to write.”

Niuniu did not want to write, but after Xu Hui told her about the benefits of learning calligraphy, she agreed. Thinking about it, Xiao Da Yong was a hardworking person. If it wasn't for the fact that the Xiao family didn't have the ability to support him in his studies, he might be considered a scholar now and might even be able to serve his country in the imperial court.

The entire afternoon Xu Hui taught Niu Niu how to write before she started to set up the house. Although there wasn't much she needed to do herself, she still needed to clean up the most basic hygiene. Xiao Dazong only needed a few days to go to the border, so he had to at least let him feel at ease.

Xiao Da Yong returned just as the sun was about to set. Xu Hui looked at Xiao Da Yong's joyful face and knew that something good had happened today. He walked up and greeted him, ”You look very happy, don't you? What's the matter? ”
