Chapter 49 Savior!

[Consumes 39 skill points, Wound Cleansing (Mastery 37% → Mastery 50%)]

A gentle coolness began to spread, moistening Guo Ziyuan's hands, and it seemed as if all the cells in his body were greedily stretching and breathing.

This feeling can be addictive.

But it didn't last long.

The place Guo Ziyuan mentioned selling free-range chickens was a very remote courtyard in Chang District, which Guo Ziyuan had come to place an order for a couple of days ago.

The boss is responsible for gutting and gutting the animals every morning.

It's a pity it wasn't as convenient as in later times, where the boss would also be responsible for delivery.

Even after 15 years of service, it's still not as good as what came after...

One duck and one chicken cost Guo Ziyuan a full 383 silver dollars.

The free-range chickens are not fat; they are large roosters weighing about four pounds.

The duck is a Muscovy duck that is over a year old, weighing a good seven or eight pounds. It is plump on the outside and has firm meat. It is a grain duck.

Guo Ziyuan took a taxi to his master's house and gently knocked on the door.

The master's wife opened the door, her brows furrowing slightly, her tone tightening: "Xiao Guo, your master said you went to buy some fancy dishes. You're being a bit inconsiderate."

The teacher's wife, who was in her thirties and had lost some of her figure, muttered to herself, "I invited you all over for dinner just to have a get-together and to improve your meals, not to have you bring me things."

Guo Ziyuan responded naturally: "Teacher's wife, of course I didn't bring a gift when I came home for dinner."

"This is someone from my hometown. We met by chance, and after inquiring, we found out they're from the same county."

"After I told him that my master and mistress loved to eat local specialties, this uncle said that his family sold them."

"The cage he brought was from his hometown, where he brought his kittens to Han City to feed them."

"Of course I wouldn't dare recommend it directly to my master and mistress, lest my master think I'm changing careers."

"If it works well this time, it will be convenient for you, Master and Mistress, to eat it next time."

After Guo Ziyuan's barrage of words, the teacher's wife's scolding disappeared: "You child, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."

"Come in and have a seat... I'll tidy up a bit."

While his master was busy in the kitchen, Guo Ziyuan rolled up his sleeves and went over, saying, "Master's wife, I don't know how to cook, so I'll help you prepare the ingredients."

"Good steel should be used where it's needed most. You take charge of the cooking, and I'll help out by providing the physical strength."

"Go and watch Shanshan do her homework... you're an expert at that."

Guo Ziyuan, looking so fresh and energetic, rushed into the kitchen carrying the bag...

Ding Xianqi glanced at Guo Ziyuan: "Hey, you've changed a lot lately."

"Master..." Guo Ziyuan's voice was soft, "You should have been more sensible a long time ago..."

Ding Xianqi didn't say much. Anyway, it was just a dinner invitation, and Guo Ziyuan could do his part.

After washing the ingredients, Guo Ziyuan started chopping. Coming from a rural background, Guo Ziyuan was very skilled at these kinds of tasks.

On the contrary, Ding Xianqi, who came from the city, had basically never been in the kitchen before, and was clumsy even when washing vegetables.

Guo Ziyuan had already chopped up all the chickens and ducks, but he was still bothered by the cilantro.

Guo Ziyuan then said, "Master, why don't I do it? Your hands are too delicate; you're only suited to be the lead surgeon."

"Get out of here." Ding Xianqi said forcefully, his face dark.

Guo Ziyuan left dejectedly.

The teacher's wife also heard the noise from the kitchen. After telling Shanshan to do her homework properly, she strolled over and put on a new kitchen apron.

"Xiao Guo, could you watch over Shanshan for me? If there are any words she doesn't know how to write, could you teach her?" the teacher's wife said.

"Okay, Madam!" Guo Ziyuan was also familiar with Shanshan.

But that happened 16 years later in my previous life...

"Brother Guo, how do you write the 'gold' in 'gold'?" Shanshan looked up.

Master Ding Xianqi got married relatively early, having Shanshan when he was 29. Shanshan is now seven years old and in the second grade.

"Are you writing an essay?" Guo Ziyuan asked, turning to the side as he wiped his hands.

"Our teacher asked us to write in our diaries, and my dad bought me a gold bracelet yesterday." The little girl was still showing off her wealth innocently, and of course, she was very happy.

She even gestured to Guo Ziyuan.

The current Guo Ziyuan wouldn't curse with words like "damn capitalism." After wiping the water off his hands, he said, "If you can't write it, it means you haven't studied it. Then don't write about materials."

"Just write 'bracelet'."

Shanshan thought it made some sense, but the little girl's thinking was always unconventional: "We haven't learned the character for 'chain' yet, so can we skip writing it?"

Did you buy it?

"Then you can use Pinyin. You can use Pinyin now," Guo Ziyuan said with a smile.

The little girl Shanshan is actually like her teacher's wife; she's a chatterbox. Also, she has a very good memory and knows many words.

She keeps asking questions because she wants to talk to her mother more. This way, she can feel noticed and also play for a while, thus delaying her homework time.

Sure enough, after Shanshan got bored, she wrote out the words "golden bracelet" herself.

Guo Ziyuan readily agreed: "You can write?"

"Shh..." Shan Shan quickly pouted.

"Brother Guo, this is a secret. If my mom finds out, she'll buy me even more books."

Guo Ziyuan thinks that children are just children. If I don't say anything, will your mother not watch it next time?

Guo Ziyuan said, "I suggest you erase it and change it to pinyin."

Shanshan was a little troubled: "But we've already learned about the character '金' (gold). We only learned it this semester."

Will my mom think I'm not studying hard enough?

Guo Ziyuan has a good memory, but it's not so abnormal that he can remember exactly which grade level the content of the textbook is for, especially since the current textbook version is completely different from what he learned back then.

The teacher's wife is a teacher. She's not an extreme case of "tiger parenting," but she's a bit of a "tiger parent."

If she had known that Shanshan was talented, she might have really nurtured Shanshan into a "genius".

"You don't like reading?" Guo Ziyuan asked.

Shanshan's voice was very soft as she continued writing, kicking the small desk with her feet: "I like them, but I don't like looking at the ones Mom bought for me."

I have class tomorrow, so I have to finish my homework.

"So what kind of books do you like to read?" Guo Ziyuan knew all too well that Shanshan didn't need anyone to help her with her homework; she just liked to talk while doing it.

She has a natural talent for multitasking, which is something Guo Ziyuan can only envy.

"I like reading comic books, but my mom says it's bad to read too many."

"She wants me to read classics...children's literature." Shanshan had something to say, and she wrote it down very quickly. She also had an excellent memory and didn't pay attention to which words she shouldn't have mastered.

"Isn't it good-looking?" Guo Ziyuan asked.

"There are no pictures. It's all dry and lifeless," Shan Shan said.

Guo Ziyuan then said, "You can actually tell your mother that you like looking at both pictures and words, so you can remember them more clearly."

"Your mother is a teacher; you can have her give you a test."

"Is this okay?" Shan Shan looked up, puzzled.

Shanshan has the ability to multitask, but she prefers to multitask because it allows her to focus more, a point that even Guo Ziyuan finds puzzling.

"Of course you can. Your mother is a teacher; she knows more about education than we do."

Anyway, it was a solution that Shanshan came up with herself later, which allowed her to achieve freedom in her studies.

She had a happy childhood and became a good student in her class.

When Shanshan heard that Guo Ziyuan also supported her, she stood up and shouted, "Mom, Mom, I want to read comic books. I can learn faster by looking at the pictures and reading the text at the same time."

"You can test me if you don't believe me."

Shanshan was young and spoke without thinking; her teacher's wife smiled and scolded her, "Nonsense."

"Really! Brother Guo knows too. He said you can test me."

"If you don't believe me, we can buy a new comic book. I can remember everything in it!"

The teacher's wife looked at Guo Ziyuan with a puzzled expression.

Guo Ziyuan hurriedly said, "Teacher's wife, I was just talking to Shanshan, come and see her diary."

"Perhaps her learning methods are quite different from those of ordinary people like us."

Guo Ziyuan stood up and picked up his workbook.

The teacher's wife is a teacher, and a primary school Chinese teacher at that. Although she doesn't teach Shanshan, she knows the content that each grade should master very well.

She only glanced at it a few times, and her expression changed several times.

He didn't even care that he had to cook later: "I'm going out for a bit."

Ding Xianqi quickly stopped her, saying, "If you're going to cook, I'll take Shanshan with me. Studying is a long-term thing."

He then emphasized, "Unless you dare make me cook."

Teacher's wife Lan Qingqing slowly nodded: "Don't buy those kinds of content that are overly sensational."

"I understand," Ding Xianqi replied.

Guo Ziyuan was also led out the door by Ding Xianqi. As soon as they stepped outside, Ding Xianqi said in a low voice, his tone slightly abrupt, "If you can help Shanshan persuade your teacher's wife, you will be our savior."
