Su Zimu frowned, "Dad, why are you so stupid? Didn't you listen to what my sister said?"

"Master will personally examine the students. If they are too stupid, they will not be accepted. It must be because Master is strict. Those who are more demanding will naturally not be able to enter the academy if they fail to meet the requirements."

Su Zimu's voice became softer as he spoke, "Sister, do you think I'm not suitable? Will the Master not want me?"

"No, you are so smart, you can definitely do it." Su Ziling spooned a spoonful of soup for him, "Eat quickly, we have to go there again tomorrow, I guess I need to prepare my luggage."

Su Zimu was stunned. He didn't expect it to happen so quickly. "What if Master doesn't want me?"

"It's okay. Don't just change schools. No matter what, you have to study for a few years and learn a few more words. If it doesn't work, just come back and sell tofu with sister." Su Ziling was not worried about him not being able to get in. With him With his arithmetic talent, he can study for a few more years no matter what.

"Then you are going to the county tomorrow?" Mother Su asked.

"I have to go. Originally, my fourth uncle and the others had to take care of them for a day. Now Er Niu has nothing to do about going to the academy. I just want to take a look again. It's not a big problem." Su Ziling comforted them.

Mr. Su nodded, "We don't understand these things, but your uncle Yong'an has studied in school. You can ask your uncle. He took care of Su Yong'an's school trip. Shouldn't we also give him some gifts?" Do you want to take care of those?"

"No, I've already inquired about it. Just take Erniu with you when the time comes. Don't make excuses. I heard that the two men have a bad temper and don't like to collect things."

"Okay, then we don't care," the old man nodded and looked at Su Zimu, "Er Niu, after you go to school, you should study hard and get along well with your classmates. You should also control your temper and don't follow me. Just like at home, he can jump eight feet high."

"I understand." Su Zimu nodded obediently.

Studying is expensive. The annual tuition, food, pens, ink, paper and inkstones are all very expensive.

It would be fine if you only study for a few years, but if you study for a long time, you may not be able to do it for even ten years, which is a lot of pressure.

After eating, Su Ziling cooked the fatty meat first, then moved a stool to the side to wash the mushrooms. The lard was boiled out tonight just enough to make the mushroom sauce.

The old Su family was very busy here, and the two Su families on the other side were also very anxious to wait.

I don’t know how many times it was, but Yang Xiu kept looking at the door, not concentrating on what she was doing, like an ant on a hot pot, "Why aren't you back yet? When was this?"

Su Xianhua frowned, "You old woman, can you stop spinning? My head is spinning."

"Aren't you worried? It's almost dark today and I haven't come back yet. Will this business be successful?"

"You'll know if it's successful after walking around here twice? Go and cook quickly. Don't wait for the boss's wife to come back. Your food is not cooked yet."

"When the rice is cooked, you can pull it out and eat it. The problem is now..."

Halfway through her words, she saw the two people outside the door. She stood up with a bang, "Come, come, come back."

"Boss, what should I say?" She couldn't wait to greet him.

"Mom, let me drink some water first."

It was a rare occasion for the two families to have a meal together, and the food was placed together around a large table.

"Tell me quickly, how is it? Is that okay?"

Finally, Wang Zhanghua said, "How's it going? This is great. You haven't seen it. Those people are rushing to buy it. Just like the refugees who saw the porridge shack a few years ago, they swarmed up. It's so scary."

Li Chunxiang also nodded, "There were so many tofus that Xiaoqing and Sister-in-law mixed together, and they were all sold out in more than half an hour. Moreover, just on the roadside, people in the village bought two barrels as soon as they came out. .”

Su Xianhua frowned, "Is it the village on the road out of the forest?"

He went to the county twice to sell chickens, and he remembered a village there very clearly.

Li Chunxiang: "Yes, that's the village where Xiaoqing and the others rented the ox cart. She rented it on a daily basis, 30 cents for an ox cart, but she rented it for us on a monthly basis. Two bullock carts cost 950 cash per month, and each family pays 475 cash per month, so Xiaoqing helped us find them. If we find this price ourselves, we probably won't be able to rent them."

The two old men nodded, "Did you tell me how to pay?"

"I told you, once at the beginning of the month and once at the end of the month, give it in two installments."

"If it's not so easy to sell, why haven't you come back until now?"

"Xiaoqing spent some time shopping, and then went to find the school and was delayed for a while."

"Looking for a school???"

"Who wants to study?"

"Er Niu, I guess it will be delivered tomorrow." Wang Zhanghua said while eating.

The fourth child, Su Qianhe, said: "Studying is a costly matter. This study lasts for many years. I don't have enough money for both young and old. I don't know what my eldest brother thinks?"

"I think with Xiaoqing's mind, it's not a problem to provide a scholar. I went into the yard tonight and saw that their family was busy. I guess they are making new food again." Wang Zhanghua said.

The fourth old man immediately reminded her, "No matter what you see, you should keep your mouth shut. Don't keep your mouth shut and talk nonsense. Look at this business. If it's what you said, it's just free money." , we can’t be those white-eyed wolves.”

"I know, you still say it like an old man like you. I didn't even stay when Peilan left us to eat there. I came right back. Let's keep a close eye on these things, lest we accidentally say them out someday."

The third old man said: "But we really have a big advantage in this tofu business. After weeding your fields, see if the big brother's family is busy. If not, just help."

"understood."

"Let's eat, Xiaoqing said, we need to be a little earlier tomorrow. It's a bit late today. Let's go to study for another day tomorrow. I guess we can start a stall the day after tomorrow." Wang Zhanghua said, thinking again Su Ziling said, "That girl Xiaoqing has changed so much that she is almost unrecognizable. Standing in that crowd, she can strike up a conversation with anyone."

The third old man nodded. Indeed, Su Ziling became visibly more confident. She seemed to be glowing when she spoke, making people unable to take their eyes away.

"Having been in business for so long, how can it not change? The debt has been paid off and there is no pressure. Naturally, people should relax a little bit. But you have to learn to be able to speak well, just like you chatting in the village. Be more relaxed. But don’t say anything for a long time when people ask you questions.”

After eating the meal, everyone's worries were relieved. Tomorrow was the last day, and the day after tomorrow they would go to the county to set up a stall alone.

Starting from the day after tomorrow, I will make money, hundreds of dollars a day, I am excited just thinking about it.

It's already getting dark, and the old Su family hasn't finished their work yet.

Mr. Su and the others are still filtering the flour. Su Ziling has just finished boiling the lard and is now making mushroom sauce.

"Qing'er, go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow. I'll take care of this pot." Mother Su's face was filled with distress.

Su Ziling turned over the mushrooms and said, "No, Mom, I'm not sleepy. I'll be fine here soon."

Mainly because she didn't dare let Mother Su see it. It would be bad if someone else ate the uncooked food.

Mother Su did not go to sleep, but sat at the door of the kitchen to light the fire for her. "These two cows are going to the academy. I don't know if he can stay."

Su Ziling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, he hasn't gone yet."

She thought that this was probably because it smelled good from a distance, but smelled so bad when she was close. She felt disgusted when she was in front of her, and missed her when she left.
