054 Unchangeable Death

During breakfast, Li Mu asked Will to go to Springfield to buy things.

Riverside Town is about ten kilometers away from Springfield. Li Mu wants to go to Springfield now and must ask Will for help. The carriage and the Mongolian horse he borrowed yesterday have been returned, so he can't walk.

"Okay, I'm fine today. I can go with you. You need a horse yourself." Will was reasonable and immediately agreed to Li Mu's request.

It’s not reasonable. Will is now wearing clothes washed by Li Mu, eating roasted wheat steamed by Yan’s mother, drinking milk brought by Chuxue, and eating people’s mouths are very short-lived.

After breakfast started, Yan's mother made Chinese food very popular, and the shabby mai was not enough. Almost all of them were snatched away by Li Mu, Will and Sandy. Gloria was a little unhappy, but after tasting the taste of the shabby mai, Gloria immediately said that she would give the kitchen to Yan's mother in the future. She had a very happy breakfast and everyone praised Yan's mother's skills.

It seems that Yan's mother has integrated into this family faster than Li Mu.

After breakfast, Will went to his neighbor's house to borrow a carriage. His father was a coachman and sat in the driver's position with Li Mu, pulling Chuxue and his daughter and Gloria sisters to Springfield.

Yan Hu and Yan Shun, the two boys, did not ride a car or rode horses, just followed the carriage and ran. Li Mu was worried that Yan Hu and Yan Shun would not be able to keep up. After asking Old Yan, Li Mu was relieved. He felt that these two boys had been used to running in the capital of the Qing Empire before, and ten kilometers were no problem.

Although Yan Hu and Yan Shun also said that this was normal, Li Mu decided to buy two horses for Yan Hu and Yan Shun later and add another carriage. He couldn't borrow someone else's from when he went out, which was really inconvenient.

Lao Yan planned to buy a set of tools including axes, chisels, saws, and shavings. Lao Yan actually brought these things when he boarded the boat, but when he left the little fat man's side, Lao Yan did not carry them with him because those things were property of the royal palace and did not belong to Lao Yan.

Lao Yan has been learning carpentry with Lao Yan since he was a child. He has worked as a carpenter for half his life, but he doesn't even have a set of his own tools. Li Mu just simply promised to buy one for Lao Yan, which moved Lao Yan to tears.

Yan's mother planned to add something to the kitchen, steamer, frying pan, wok, etc., and also planned to cut a few feet of cloth and make some curtains, tablecloths and other things for the home.

Li Mu approved Yan's mother's plan, and even made a big move on the cloth to buy three pieces. It can not only be used for curtains and tablecloths, but also for bed sheets and quilt covers, and even for clothes. It cannot waste Yan's mother and the girl who have been practicing for half their lives.

Yan Hu and Yan Shun had no requirements. The current life is almost the same as heaven for them, but after hearing Li Mu's preparation to buy each of them, there was still an uncontrollable excitement and desire on his face, and his trotting was much lighter.

Gloria and Sandy are going back to school, Gloria is currently in junior high school, while Sandy is going to elementary school, and they have to receive education at Springfield schools five days a week.

"You are going to a language school, too, but I have a question. With your language level, is it necessary to go to a language school?" Will still rode Prometheus and chatted with Li Mu while walking.

Last night, as Li Mu's guardian, Will received the teaching plan formulated by the Department of Children's Foreign Studies. In the Department of Children's Foreign Studies, children must receive language learning within the first year of arriving in the United States to adapt to life in the United States and lay the foundation for future education.

Li Mu's English proficiency is still very good. He may not be able to write "Hamlet", but there is no problem with daily conversations. Thanks to the cramming education method, his literacy and writing ability are outstanding, so he can be a teacher in a language school.

"I won't go, I'll buy a few dictionaries later. During this year, I will learn French and Spanish. The teachers in the language school will not teach me these." Li Mu has his own study plan.

Although it has traveled from the 21st century, Li Mu never thought that he was an omnipotent prophet in the 19th century. He still had to learn the knowledge he should learn and the skills he should master. Just like Li Mu insisted on practicing the "gun drawing technique", people should learn until they are old.

French, Spanish, like English, are actually world languages. If you want to live better in this era, it is still very important to learn more foreign languages. If you have the opportunity, Li Mu even wants to learn German and Russian. The mid-to-late 19th century was a turbulent era, and Li Mu did not want to miss the excitement of this era.

"If you want to learn French and Spanish, you can go to Mr. Henry, who is our neighbor, he is French, and his wife is Spanish." Will helped Li Mu find the best tutor.

"That's great. I'll buy some gifts for Mr. Henry and Mrs. Henry later, and I'll visit them when I go back." Li Mu was overjoyed. The most important thing in learning a language is the context. There is a world of difference between having a teacher and not having a teacher.

"Superficial little guy, where have you learned so many things?" Will looked at Li Mu and frowned.

"This is not hypocrisy, this is the etiquette you deserve. Did you not bring any gifts when you first visited someone else? Then I doubt whether you have friends-" Li Mu shut up Will with one sentence. It seems that this guy is not very popular in normal times.

Soon, the group followed the gravel road to Springfield, first sent Gloria and Sandy to school, and then headed to the busiest mall to start shopping.

It must be said that although the United States in the 19th century was not the most powerful country in the world, it was already very rich in various materials. Although the city of Springfield was not big, as the center of the United States' machine manufacturing industry and arms industry, Springfield's citizens were quite wealthy and the market was very prosperous. Li Mu could easily buy what he wanted.

"What a good steel! What a good steel-" Lao Yan couldn't put it down with an axe and pulled Li Mu and kept talking: "Brother Mu, look at this knife edge, it is more advantageous than the best steel knife in our Qing Dynasty-"

Li Mu didn't understand what kind of knife eloquence was considered sharp. Seeing that Old Yan couldn't put it down, Li Mu immediately placed an order: "Boss, this, this - except for these few, I'll give me one of the others!"
