He swallowed the sweet potato porridge without really tasting it, and managed to squeeze out a cute smile. "Alright, if Jiaojiao wants me to go to school, I will go!"
He must indeed go to school, but to make up for the loss of not seeing Gu Jiao the whole day, Xiao Jing Kong demanded two little goodbye kisses for himself.
Enrollment isn't cheap, the monthly tuition fee was two taels of silver, which included one daily meal. If you quit halfway, there's no refund.
Gu Jiao placed the two taels of silver into Xiao Jing Kong's pocket, he insisted on paying the tuition himself, refusing to depend on his brother-in-law.
The pair, young and old, rode an ox cart to school.
Gu Jiao was left at the home pondering over how to repair the roof.
She climbed onto the roof for a look, only to find quite a number of broken tiles. She estimated if there were a few more heavy downpours, all three rooms would leak.
