Chapter 497 - 497: A Comfortable Child
Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, MO Ruyue gave up on the idea of going to the mountain to catch chickens and teach the people in the sanatorium how to cook. She thought of taking an afternoon nap before going there.
“Madam, there’s a doctor from the village outside. His name is Quan
Yongyuan. He wants to see you.”
Chun Hua was sweeping the floor outside the second courtyard when a servant came to report that someone was looking for her. She asked who had come in to report.
Granny Rong and Granny Yan had said that although their princess’s residence was small, she had to abide by the rules.
If the princess was outside, then there was no need to say anything. However, at home, the first gate must be reported to the second gate, and then the second gate would report to their princess.
MO Ruyue saw that they didn’t mind the effort, so she didn’t bother with them.
She had also seen that ever since Granny Rong and Granny Yan returned to the village, they were not used to the atmosphere in the village, so she did not deprive them of this hobby.
“Let him in.”
Soon, Quan Yongyuan came to the backyard and saw Chun Hua massaging MO Ruyue’s shoulders. He quickly bowed to MO Ruyue.
“Yongyuan greets Doctor Mo.”
“There’s no need to be so polite. Sit down.”
Once MO Ruyue returned to the village, she was afraid that when the villagers heard that she had become a princess, they would greet her first.
She had wanted to find the village chief and have a good talk with the villagers, but she was afraid that the villagers would think that she was deliberately using her identity to remind them to greet her.
Just as she was thinking about what to do, she was relieved that the people in the village had been treating her as usual these few days. Although there was more respect in their eyes, it was fortunate that they did not have to kowtow to her when they met.
She didn’t expect Quan Yongyuan to be so polite.
Of course, Quan Yongyuan also knew that MO Ruyue’s identity had changed. If the old village chief had not told them about this during a meeting, he would probably have to kowtow to MO Ruyue when they met.
Quan Yongyuan and Luo Tiancai had always been very busy. Ever since the two of them were stationed in Xihe Village, the nearby villagers knew that they were doctors and many people came to see them all day.
MO Ruyue had been away for more than a month. Now that she was back, the two of them wanted to give MO Ruyue the consultation fees they had collected from the patients they had treated in the past month. Therefore, Quan Yongyuan came.
“Doctor MO, this is 50% of the consultation fees we’ve collected over the past month. This is the account book, please take a look.”
MO Ruyue personally took the account book and money and placed them on the table, but she did not intend to read them now.
“Are you and Doctor Luo used to living here?”
“I’m used to it. Doctor Luo and I have already discussed it. After a while, we plan to buy a piece of land from the village chief and build our own house. We will live here often in the future. “You two can decide for yourselves.”
“If you have any questions, just say it. ‘
Not to mention the others, ever since the two physicians, Quan and Luo, appeared, MO Ruyue’s burden of seeing patients had been reduced by more than half.
Quan Yongyuan’s eyes lit up when he heard MO Ruyue’s words.
He and Luo Tiancai had already accumulated a lot of questions and were just about to ask them. They had thought that it would be inconvenient for MO Ruyue to become a princess, but since she had asked them herself, there was nothing inconvenient.
Quan Yongyuan went back happily, ready to share the good news with Luo Tiancai. The two of them could come over to ask questions in the evening. There were still patients at the moment, so they couldn’t leave.
After Quan Yongyuan left, MO Ruyue did not even bother to look at the account book. She decided to wait for Tang Tang and Si Bao to come back in the evening and bring them to look at it so that they could learn some accounting skills.
MO Ruyue wanted to know how much Quan Yongyuan and the others had earned in the past month. Most of the patients in the village were only showing symptoms like a cold.
However, she was quite surprised when she saw that Quan Yongyuan had brought her almost twenty taels of silver.
No wonder they were always busy. They were probably treating patients all day long.
MO Ruyue wasn’t considered poor now. She could be considered rich. However, this almost twenty taels of silver was still money in her eyes. She was quite happy about it. Who wouldn’t like a free silver?
After dinner, MO Ruyue told the two kids not to go out to play and to accompany her for an afternoon nap. Children needed more sleep to grow up faster.
When she woke up, she would bring them along to teach them how to cook.
MO Ruyue woke up with the two children. They got up and prepared to go up the mountain to catch chickens and ducks. When they went out, they found two chickens and ducks on the stone table in the courtyard.
Gu Ying knew that MO Ruyue would definitely use it today, so he went to catch it for her.
Moreover, they were all washed carefully. Even the chicken offal was washed clean and placed in the bowl.
“Mother, where are we going with these chickens and ducks?
“Aren’t you going to cook at home tonight?”
MO Ruyue looked at Si Baao and Tang Tang, who insisted on helping her carry her things. Although the two little children had grown a lot in the past year, they still found it difficult to carry the big basket because they had to lift their arms up or the basket would drag the floor.
“Let’s go to the sanatorium and teach those uncles how to cook. What do you think?”
“Wow, don’t they know how to cook?”
As Tang Tang spoke, she switched the basket from left to right.
“Miss, why don’t you let this servant help you get it?”
Qiu Shi looked at the little girl who was carrying a big vegetable basket. The chicken inside was fat and big. Even if the feathers were removed and washed clean, it still weighed three to four pounds.
She was really afraid that he would tire the young miss out.
There were so many servants in the house, but they were all watching from the side. However, the young miss and the young master tried their best to do their own things and rarely called them.
According to their observations, before they came, Madam had assigned the young miss and the young master with personal maids and manservants.
The young miss and young master were both exceptionally beautiful and adorable, and they were also so sensible. The hearts of these maidservants melted.
Even the two nannies were exceptionally kind to the young miss and the young master.
“Thank you, Sister Qiu Shi. There’s no need. We’re almost there. I can do it myself.”
Tang Tang thanked Qiu Shi politely. Actually, the chicken wasn’t heavy for her. The main thing was that the basket was a little too high. She needed to eat more and grow it taller.
Qiu Shi was already used to Tang Tang calling her sister. Since the first day they arrived home, the two children had called them sister and auntie.
In the beginning, they did not dare to respond. They were just servants and were afraid that MO Ruyue would get angry. They only dared to respond after MO Ruyue nodded.
“Then can this servant help you carry young master’s basket?”
Qiu Shi saw that Tang Tang couldn’t convince her, so she went to coax Si Bao.
“My younger sister took it herself. I’m the older brother. I can’t be worse than my younger sister.”
“It’s this servant’s fault.”
“Our young miss and young master are both responsible and capable.”
Not only was he sensible, but he also understood a lot of reason. Thinking about those children in the capital who were as old as their young master and young miss, they would cry all day long when they were unhappy.
At first, when they came back and saw the appearance of the young miss and young master, they were very surprised. They actually looked exactly like General Xue.
She had thought that General Xue and the Princess were husband and wife, but after staying in the capital for more than a month, no one knew.
In the end, the young miss and the young master addressed General Xue as Uncle. In just two days, they had also heard some things about the young miss and the young master’s biological father. Only then did they understand what was going on.
However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that General Xue treated their Princess differently. However, these things were not things that they, as servants, could blindly think about.
No matter what, as long as the young master and young miss belonged to their family, it was enough..
