After hearing Shen Shiliu's suggestion, Shen's Father's mother decided to send Shen Shu there to read. However, there seemed to be only an old Elementary Scholar in the village who could read, and that person was even teaching Han Shuliang from the Old Han Family.

"Let's go to the county city. There's a school there!" The Shen Shiliu said. Even the children at the school in the towns were not young, so Shen Shu was probably the best amongst them.

Shen's Father thought for a moment, then said: "Tomorrow, I will go ask around. If I can remember, even if we don't eat or wear anything, I will still let your brother go!"

"Big brother, you all worked early today?" Shen's Father asked. It didn't seem to be that early yesterday.

"That's right. From now on, you all come at this hour every day. There are early jobs every day. I can't say for sure, but how can you all stay idle this season of the year?" When Wang Liuzi spoke, his eyes never left the vat they used to store meat soup in!

She and Mrs. Zheng were in a team, while Shen Shu and Shen's Father were in a group. They were selling things on both sides, and some people even bought four bowls for themselves!

These laborers loved to eat meat. They would miss their wives and children even after eating, so they bought four bowls for the whole family to eat. They would salivate over the scallion pancakes at home. If he were to buy the meat himself, the whole family would have to eat twenty cents in a single meal. This was a conservative statement, how could he afford ten cents worth of ready-made broth with open stomachs?

When Shen Shiliu saw it, she pondered for a bit. In the future, there would only be two pots of meat soup per day. Otherwise, after everyone had eaten it, this item would not be so attractive. It would be a pity if it was sold off.

In the morning, only a little of the broth remained, and the Shen Shiliu found a problem. As the time passed, the broth would become cold, and it would become harder to sell again.

"There's nothing left to do, you guys go check out the academy first. We'll leave when we get back!" Mrs. Zheng said, there were not many left, to be able to sell nearly four buckets in the morning was already enough, the rest would be returned to them and they would hot eat it, not wasting anything!

"Fine, pomegranate keep this bunch of people for your mother. I'll take your brother and go first!" Shen's Father said as he took Shen Shu and left.

Shen Shiliu and Mistress Shen stayed where they were, and from time to time they would pass by and buy a bowl of meat soup. Mrs. Zheng was afraid that because he was cold, he would scoop more meat, and they would all be happy.

"Miss!"

As Shen Shiliu woke up early, she was still feeling sleepy and drowsy. She didn't feel that the person beside her calling "Miss" was calling her.

"Miss!" With another sound, Shen Shiliu opened her eyes.

Du Xuan Mo came today to express his thanks, and called Shen Shiliu twice before looking at him. On the other side, Mrs. Zheng was still looking at him warily, which made him feel a little awkward.

"You are …?" Mrs. Zheng came over to ask, and looked at Shen Shiliu.

Shen Shiliu recognized the man and walked up to him saying, "Yesterday, he passed himself to faint due to hunger. I served him a bowl of broth!" She wasn't afraid that Mrs. Zheng would misunderstand her, this "round pearl and smooth jade" of hers didn't even have a crease, what intentions could a young lad like her have?

After Mrs. Zheng heard this, she nodded her head and did not ask further. Someone came over to buy meat soup and went over to greet him.

"What do you want?" Shen Shiliu asked the boy in front of him.

Du Xuan Mo smiled. "I came to thank you, but I wasn't able to thank you in any way even though I was in a daze yesterday. When I came back later on, you had already left!"

"Just for this matter, no need to be so polite!" Shen Shiliu laughed, although her smiling face was trembling, the boy opposite him did not seem to have any kind of reaction.

"I'm Du Xuanmo. I've set up a stall over there to help people write letters. If you have anything you need help with, feel free to tell me!" Du Xuanmo directly said that his family didn't have anything to show him as a form of gratitude, so he could only give him a lot of help.

Shen Shiliu nodded, then asked: "I am called Shen Shiliu, have you eaten today?"

Du Xuan Mo was embarrassed. He'd just written a notice for someone this morning and the person had even brought a pen and paper with him. He'd already helped write a few notes and only earned two coins, but the person's broth seemed like it was worth three coins …

Seeing that Du Xuan Mo had not replied, Shen Shiliu knew what was going on. She turned around and said to Mrs. Zheng, "Mother, serve me two bowls of meat soup!"

Mrs. Zheng looked at the bucket, which just had three bowls, and asked Shen Shiliu: What are you going to do?

"This can also be considered as our new neighbor. I have to let him take care of me in the future!" Shen Shiliu had also saved Du Xuan Mo's face, saying that they were neighbors that would treat each other courteously, wouldn't be difficult for the other party to accept.

When Mrs. Zheng heard it, she felt that it made sense. They did not know anyone in the entire county, so she treated it as a gift.

"You're right!" As Mrs. Zheng spoke, she scooped out the three bowls of meat soup, took out a clean earthenware jar and filled it up. Then, she handed it over to Du Xuan Mo and said, "Just bring a few more tomorrow!"

Du Xuan Mo looked at the jug of meat soup and felt a bit embarrassed. He said, "Aunt, this won't do. There's too much of it!"

The father and son of the Shen family had also returned. After hurriedly bowing to Du Xuan, they began packing up their things.

Du Xuanmo sighed as he looked at the gradually disappearing backs of the Shen Family members.

When Du Xuan Mo returned home, Madame Du's body was already better today, and he was sitting on the bed sewing clothes for Du Xuan Mo.

"Mother, let's rest first!" As Du Xuanmo spoke, he went to the stove to light a fire.

Madame Du put down the clothes in her hands and walked to the stove: "Mother, it has been hard on you these past few days!"

When Madame Du saw that the pot was filled with meat broth, she was shocked and a lot of thoughts surfaced in her mind. Finally, she said, "Child, Mother knows that Mother's burden has made you tired of living.

Du Xuan Mo was angered to the point of being overjoyed, "Mother, where did we get to that point!? "It's from someone else. A family has come to sell broth at the intersection!"

Madame Du heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought that her son wanted to let the two of them go through a pot of venomous soup.

Du Xuanmo pondered how he should thank the other party as well.

….

On the other side, the Shen Family members were walking and talking. Shen's Father and Shen Shu were pushing a small cart with two sets of Sheep-head Sheep-hooves on it.

"Dad, what's going on with the Brother's Academy?" Shen Shiliu asked.

The Shen's Father sighed, "Every month, it costs half a coin, and a catty of meat."

Shen Shiliu heard that, she should have sold a lot of money today, but it was not enough.

"Father, sister, I'm not going to study." Shen Shu asked, how could there be money in his family?

Shen Shiliu shook her head. She still had to attend this school, so she thought of a way, "Tomorrow, we will talk to Sir about it. We will first give you half, then sell it for two days and you will be able to return the other half. It was not as if that mister wanted money no matter what. It was not like she wouldn't give it to him two days later, so she should be able to make good promises. It didn't matter if she was smiling, she had to fight for it!

Shen's Father sighed. This method of making money was something his daughter thought of.

Shen Shiliu laughed, as this set up a foundation for her to write "know".

On the morning of the second day, Shen Shiliu and Shen Shu went to set up duckling s to fish and prawns. Shen Shu thought, if he went to study, who would do all these jobs in the future?

"Brother, you don't need to think too much. Our family will suffer a bit now, but you can't not read a book!" The Shen Shiliu advised: "There isn't much work at home, and there are quite a lot of fish and prawns that have been caught. "If you're worried, then help me cook the meat stew in the evening. I won't be idle for you!" No culture is not possible, a lifetime in this small village can only live a life of poverty!

Shen Shu knew that what the Shen Shiliu said was right, but since he went to the Academy yesterday to take a look, the mister also said that he had to go to class with a six or seven-year-old kid at his current level.

Shen Shiliu naturally didn't know about Shen Shu's awkward situation. She was also puzzled, wasn't it normal for her to like going to school, now that she had wings of dreams for going to school, why didn't Shen Shu want to take flight?

After catching the fishes and prawns, Shen Shiliu and Shen Shu went home to put down the fishes and prawns. Today, Mrs. Zheng was busy at home.

"I'll buy a car when I have enough money in the future, and set up an animal!" The Shen Shiliu said that there would be houses and cars. It seemed that whether it was ancient or modern, there would be a need for materials.

The three of them walked out of the village under the morning sun. The crops on the ground were growing well now, and the wind blew against them, sending green waves into the air. Shen Shiliu smelled the fragrance of the grass in the air.

This year's weather was smooth and the people of the Zhuang family depended on the heavens for food. By the end of the year, they should be able to reap a lot.

When the three of them arrived at the place where the food was usually sold, Shen Shiliu saw Du Xuanmo panting and standing there.

"Why are you here?" Shen Shiliu asked in a low and muffled voice.

"My family doesn't have much to thank you for, so I wrote a signboard for you. Don't mind it!" Du Xuanmo said embarrassedly.

Shen Shiliu looked at the sign and saw a few big words written on it: Shen Family mutton soup. Beside it were some small words: Three pieces of money for one bowl, and five pieces of money for two bowls.

The handwriting was handsome and the writing beautiful. Although Shen Shiliu recognized it, she could only pretend not to know it. She asked: "What did you write?"
