A night passed, and when Wen Shutang woke up the next day, Xiao Yizhuo had already gotten up and washed up. He heard the voice and turned his head, and found that Wen Shutang had woken up, so he stood up and said.

"Are you awake? I just heated up some water. Get up and wash your face."

As Xiao Yizhuo spoke, he poured the hot water from the kettle into the washbasin, signaling Wen Shutang that he could wash up.

Wen Shutang got up from the bed, yawned, turned his head to look at the sky outside, and found that it was already bright.

"Why do you get up so early every day?"

Hearing Wen Shutang's words, Xiao Yizhuo's face showed no other expression, he just said lightly: "I'm used to it. You're sleeping more and more deeply."

Wen Shutang smiled and did not refute. Since she came here, she has been getting up later and later every day, especially since she opened the milk tea shop. She really feels a little tired and can't wake up every day. She somehow feels like she has returned to the days when she had to get up at 8 am in college.

Wen Shutang didn't get up too late, at least he didn't miss sending the children to school. After breakfast, the family sent Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye to the academy.

Because Xiao Wan wanted to learn knowledge from Mucha, she told Xue Ming that she would not go to the clinic in the morning. She would stay at home to study with Mucha in the morning, and then go to the clinic to see patients with Xue Ming in the afternoon.

In short, Xiao Wan's life became completely busy. When Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo took the two brothers away from home, Xiao Wan had already got up and started learning calligraphy with Mu Xia.

Although Xiao Wan had studied with Xue Ming for a period of time before, he could only write some simple names of medicinal herbs and was not very familiar with other characters.

After sending Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye to the gate of Mingde Academy, Wen Shutang touched the two children's heads.

"Okay, go quickly, don't miss the time."

"Yeah." Xiao Ye nodded excitedly. It was obvious that he was still not excited about the academy.

Xiao Ze was relatively calm, and it was obvious that he had gotten used to the study life in the academy. He looked up at Wen Shutang, his voice sounding a bit nervous.

"Mom, today is the exam that the teacher has prepared for us, and I am a little..."

Xiao Ze didn't finish his words, but Wen Shutang understood what he meant. The nervousness before the exam is something that everyone will definitely experience.

When she was a child, she would get so nervous that she wanted to vomit before taking exams.

So Wen Shutang understood Xiao Ze's feeling very well. She half squatted and looked at Xiao Ze, her tone gentle and steady.

"Aze, don't worry about these things. Just perform well and show your true level. Do your best, okay?"

After hearing Wen Shutang's words, Xiao Ze felt a little relieved. He took a deep breath and nodded.

"Well, mother, I understand."

"Good boy, it's okay, don't worry." Wen Shutang smiled and patted his shoulder. She had seen Xiao Ze's daily efforts, so this small test would definitely not be difficult for Xiao Ze.

but...

Wen Shutang's eyes fell on Xiao Ye who was smiling beside him, and his heart moved slightly: "Then Ah Ye doesn't need to take the exam?"

When Xiao Ye's name was called, his smile froze for a moment. He was also a little uncertain. After all, he had just entered the academy yesterday.

"Ah? This, shouldn't be possible? My elder brother and I are not together, and the teacher didn't say that we have to take the exam too." Xiao Ye scratched his head, looking like he knew nothing.

"It's okay. Even if you have to take an exam, it doesn't matter if Aye doesn't do well. After all, you have only studied for a few days. Okay, both of you don't be nervous, just do your best. Go in quickly and don't be late." Wen Shutang nodded. He didn't care about these things. Although exams can measure a person's learning outcomes well, it is not necessarily the only thing that can measure it.

Wen Shutang remembered Xiao Ze's hard work every day and night. So no matter how Xiao Ze did in the exam, Wen Shutang knew that he had tried his best.

Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye turned around and walked into the academy side by side. Only after their figures completely disappeared did Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo retract their gaze and turn to walk towards the milk tea shop.

It was another busy morning, and the two of them didn't have time to rest until noon.

Just when the two were about to go out to eat something, Wen Ruizhou and Wen Yaoshi walked in from outside holding lunch boxes.

"Brothers? Why are you here?" Wen Shutang looked up and saw them and asked subconsciously.

Wen Yaoshi raised the lunch box in his hand and said, "There are so many people at the door of the store. I can tell at a glance that you are too busy to eat. Mom happened to prepare lunch for me and my brother, so let's just take it and eat together. This will save you from going out and spending money on food."

Wen Ruizhou nodded in agreement: "Yes, since Ayao and I opened the store in town, we basically don't go back to the village for lunch. It's too troublesome to go back and forth, so mother and your sister-in-law specially prepare lunch for us. They prepare a lot every time, and we can't finish it. It happens that you and your wife are here, so let's eat together."

Hearing what his two brothers said, Wen Shutang nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, we haven't eaten yet. We just said we should go out and find a small stall to eat."

Although Xiao Yizhuo didn't say anything, he cleaned up the messy fruits on the table and cleared the table.

Although the shop is small, it can easily accommodate four people. Several people gathered around the table. Wen Ruizhou opened the lunch box and the aroma of rice immediately filled the air.

"The weather is not too hot now, so the food can be preserved. But if it gets hot in a few days, we won't be able to bring food with us." Wen Ruizhou muttered as he brought out the food.

"Yeah, we probably still have to go back to the village at noon." Wen Yaoshi frowned slightly, feeling overwhelmed at the thought of having to run back and forth under the scorching sun.

Wen Shutang looked at the distressed expressions of his two brothers and said with a faint smile: "What's the big deal? Just come to my house for dinner. It's close, and the eldest and second brothers can rest for a while at noon."

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. Why bother me?" Wen Ruizhou waved his hand.

"What's the trouble? It's just a matter of a few steps. If you don't tell anyone, you'd think that I, your younger sister, despise you." Wen Shutang pretended to be angry and said half-jokingly.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it later. Let's eat now." Wen Yaoshi handed the chopsticks to Wen Shutang and interrupted at the right time.

Just as they were about to start eating, they suddenly heard a faint shouting coming from outside.

Wen Shutang frowned, thinking he had heard it wrong, but the next moment, a clear female voice came into his ears.

"Someone come! Help!"
