The old man stepped forward with a smile, "It looks like the results were good."

Yan Zi was sweating just now, but now she finally relaxed, "Yeah, I didn't expect you would ask so many questions. After all, the result is good. We will come to school this fall."

After saying goodbye to the old man, the three of them walked home and unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance.

I wanted to pretend that I didn't know her, but she greeted me first, "Niu Xiaoni, I haven't seen you for a while. I see that you are a little plumper than before. I guess you are doing well recently."

Goudan's mother smiled with a forced smile, and uttered a few words through her back teeth.

Yan Zi wanted to stop Ni Er behind her, but Ni Er took a few steps forward and said, "Mother Goudan, thanks to you, it's really good. If you don't have anything else, we'll leave first."

After saying that, he pulled Yan Zi and Niu Li and was about to pass by Goudan's mother.

"Niu Xiaoni, don't forget that you still owe me two taels of silver."

Yan Zi stopped, let go of the hands of the two children, and walked straight towards Goudan's mother, her eyes full of the determination of a mother who wanted to protect her children.

"My little Ni'er doesn't owe you anything. If there is anything she owes you, it's my mother-in-law. Go ahead and ask her for it."

"We have separated now. This matter has nothing to do with us. If you still keep pestering me, I don't mind reporting you to the police."

Goudan's mother was frightened by Yan Zi's eyes. She didn't say anything more and watched the three of them walk past her.

It took a while for him to react, "Could this direction be to come to the Li Family Academy? Could it be that Niu Xiaoni is really the reincarnation of a lucky star as she said?"

Goudan's mother married and came to Lijia Village from far away. Her deceased husband was a good friend of Master Li, so whenever there was something that needed an inscription, she would usually ask Master Li for help. The word "甸" on the white lantern hanging in the house at that time was written by Master Li.

Goudan's mother was finally able to fall asleep these days. She had been having a headache for the past few days and had taken many medicines but it didn't get better. As soon as she saw Niu Xiaoni, she felt like she was going to have a relapse.

After struggling over whether to go find Master Li to ask or go home, he finally went to find Master Li.

Unfortunately, Master Li was giving a lecture, so he did not go in.

Goudan's mother thought it would be a good idea to ask the gatekeeper, "Uncle, I want to ask if there was a pregnant woman with two children who came to ask about the school just now?"

The old man sneered in his heart. I recognize it when a child calls me old man, but we are about the same age. Do you think it is appropriate to call me old man? Just now, that pregnant woman called me big brother. How dare you?

Feeling unhappy, he was too lazy to respond and just dismissed Goudan's mother with a simple "hmm".

After hearing the old man's answer, Goudan's mother became even more surprised. The old lady had wanted to sell her granddaughter for two taels of silver before, but the annual salary here was one and a half taels of silver, and they could actually afford it.

It wasn't that long since that incident happened, how could things turn around so quickly? If she really had the protection of the Bodhisattva, she would have suffered retribution for what she had done.

Thinking of this, Goudan's mother felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. Even when the afternoon sun shone on her body, she could not feel a trace of warmth.

I walked home in a daze and huddled in a corner, "No, don't come to me, I had no choice~"

"No, I can't let her family go to school. If she becomes famous in the future, she can find a reason to take me... take me..."

Goudan's mother gasped for breath and stood up by holding the wall, thinking that she would go see Master Li when he was free.

Niu Li felt both happy and worried when he heard the news that he would be able to go to school this fall. If he went to school, all the housework would fall on others' shoulders. How could he do that?

I am young and weak, and adults don’t let me do many things, but I really want to help.

When I heard the familiar footsteps outside, I knew that Uncle Niudan and Aunt Niudan came to help.

Niu Li hurried to open the door.

Nier saw that there was still time, so she went to the mountain to pick some wild vegetables while grinding the soy milk. The meat had been eaten all the time, and she hadn't seen any dead pheasants or rabbits at her doorstep recently. She might have to spend more money on buying meat in the future.

Ever since I started eating meat, I feel I have more energy to work and my brain is sharper. It turns out that I still need to eat good food.

Ni'er went up the mountain carrying the backpack. Niu Li wanted to follow her, but his sister said that he could help Uncle Niudan and Aunt Niudan, so he did not go.

The sharp-eyed Nier saw some colorful animals flash by in the grass, so she pushed aside the grass and wanted to go in to take a look, hoping she could catch something. After searching for a long time, she found nothing. When she was about to give up, she found an egg.

However, she was not sure what kind of animal eggs these were, so she did not dare to pick them up. The old people said that if they were snake eggs, she would be retaliated against, as snakes are very vengeful creatures.

Thinking that the animal she just saw was probably a pheasant, Nier reached out for the egg again, but... what if it wasn't? After hesitating for a long time, she finally didn't pick it up.

It would be great if we had a hen that could lay eggs at home. One egg a day, and if we save them for four or five days, we can have a meal for the whole family.

[Twenty cents for a laying hen]

[A pure natural organic egg-laying hen for 800 Wen]

The voice of the system rang in Nier's mind. Yes, how could she forget the system? What feed, what pollution-free? She must choose the cheap one. Twenty cents is indeed suitable. She chose the feed chicken and pressed the confirm button. A fat hen appeared in front of her and laid an egg in front of Nier.

She pounced on the chicken and caught it, picked up the eggs and put them all in the backpack. She looked around and saw no one was around. Thinking of eating eggs in the future, Nier swallowed her saliva.

The last time I ate eggs was a long time ago. I don’t know where my grandma got the egg from, but she put it with wild vegetables and made a pancake. I can still remember the taste.

I asked Niu Li to raise the chicken when I got home. He always wanted to help. Every time I refused, I felt a little bit reluctant when I saw his aggrieved expression.

Since you can buy chickens, you might as well buy some more and disguise them as if they were killed by wolves, but how to disguise it is a difficult problem.

Nier was a little reluctant to kill a chicken, let alone being bitten to death. The thought of it being bloody made her feel gory.

It’s better to wait until you go to town and buy some meat to eat.

After quickly picking the wild vegetables, Nier hurriedly made up for the homework she had missed in the past few days, estimated the time it would take for the soy milk to be ground, and quickly put on her backpack and went home.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that my father had returned and Uncle Niudan and Aunt Niudan had just left.

The soy milk has been put into the pot and is waiting to boil.

Hearing Ni'er come in, Niu Li, who was watching the pot in the kitchen, ran over and wanted to help his sister carry the backpack to the kitchen.

But he found a gurgling sound inside, and looked at Ni'er with sharp eyes, "Sister, what's here?"
