Chapter 70 I Got Something to Tell You
Liu Cuihua had known what Huang Husheng was thinking. She said, "In fact, I take you in for a personal purpose. If you stay here, it will be more convenient to examine Xiyuan..."
Huang Husheng thought about it for a while and nodded, "All right. Many thanks for your kindness."
Huang Husheng was a scholar. He was literate, though he had never attended the imperial examination. 
In addition, he had experienced a lot when working with his colleagues in the capital city. Therefore, he was quite different from the farmers in this village.
It was shining brightly in the village early in the morning. Besides, the smoke was curling up from the kitchen chimneys. Wu Chuan went to work in the mountain with his two sons.
Huang Husheng just recovered from the cold, so he wore some thick clothes. He was sitting on a stool and reading a book in the yard. 
What he was reading was just the only existing copy that Su Jiuyue had sold to him.
Su Jiuyue was chopping firewood right beside him, glancing at him from time to time.
"Mr. Huang, what is it on the book?" she was curious since she had never read books and had never been taught to read.
Huang Husheng was not impatient as she was asking him. He felt that the people in the Wus kept a distance from him, which made him feel alienated. It was rare that someone was willing to talk to him.
"Nothing special in this book. It's a travel note which records what the author saw and experienced when traveling in different places."
It immediately engaged Su Jiuyue's interest as soon as she heard that it was a travel note. "Mr. Huang, could you please tell me what is recorded in the note? I've never traveled so far. The farthest place I've been to is Niutou Town."
Looking at the girl sitting on the stool, Huang Husheng secretly sighed.
The same as Su Jiuyue, his daughter had never been away from the capital city since she was born. However, the capital city was much more flourishing than Niutou Town.
How poor she was!
He then turned to the first page of the note and began to read to her. But Su Jiuyue couldn't understand the literary jargon.
Su Jiuyue interrupted him, "Mr. Huang, I don't understand what you are reading."
Huang Husheng was stunned, and then he realized that she was illiterate. He smiled, "Sorry, I should have read it in another way."
Su Jiuyue stopped chopping firewood when Huang Husheng was telling her about the world outside in the note. She moved the stool beside him and listened to him very carefully.
At that time, Wu Xiyuan got out of his room.
"Hi, sweetheart, what are you doing?"
Su Jiuyue waved to him, "Mr. Huang is telling me stories. Come and listen together?"
Wu Xiyuan's eyes brightened and replied quickly, "Sure."
Niuniu and Guoguo also joined them after getting up.
Although Huang Husheng didn't tell it interestingly, it still aroused their curiosity as they had never heard these things before.
Liu Cuihua was cooking in the kitchen and an idea occurred to her when she saw the enjoyable scene outside.
Su Jiuyue was about to clean the dishes after lunch, then Liu Cuihua said,
"Jiu Ya, come here and help me thread the needle. I am too old to see it clearly."
Chen Zhaodi took the bowls and chopsticks from Su Jiuyue and said, "It's all right. Let me do it."
Su Jiuyue thanked her and went to Liu Cuihua's room.
But after she entered the room, she found that Liu Cuihua had threaded the needle and was sewing the sole of a shoe.
Liu Cuihua chuckled as she saw Su Jiuyue was full of confusion, "Do you feel puzzled why I ask you to help me since I've done it myself?"
Su Jiuyue nodded with confusion. And then, Liu Cuihua nodded lightly, "Jiu Ya, come here. I got something to tell you."
