n165 The Street Near the Academy

nLin Xiaozhi’s eyes lit up.

n“Aunt, I don’t want the money.” Xiao Qing said.

nHe ate at home, and in the future, he would have to spend the family’s money to study in town. Now that he could finally help out, how could he ask for money?

n“Ii also don’t want the money,” Lin Xiaozhi quickly followed.

nChildren tend to copy others blindly.

nLin Xiaoyue laughed.

n“Why not? It’s a chance for you to save some money. I’ll give you such opportunities from time to time.”

n“It’s good for children to learn how to manage money from a young age. With the money in hand, you can buy whatever you need at the academy.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

nXiao Qing’s eyes flickered as he thought that this made sense.

nLin Xiaozhi looked at Xiao Qing. Whatever he did, he would do.

n“In the future, when everyone comes to our house to buy cold cakes, I won’t pay you anymore.” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

n“Alright, then. Thank you, aunty!” Xiao Qing finally said.

n“Thank you!” Lin Xiaozhi’s face bloomed with joy.

n“Hehe…” Lin Xiaoyue’s face was full of smiles.

nAs she chatted with the two children, they soon arrived at Qingshi Town.

nThey entered the city and went to Ruyi Restaurant.

nLin Xiaoyue handed the four buckets of cold cakes to the kitchen staff and went to the accountant to receive 300 wen before leaving with the two children.

nThinking that it was inconvenient to retrieve the wooden buckets, Lin Xiaoyue simply rode the ox-cart to the grocery store. She immediately ordered ten more wooden buckets.

nAfter that, they strolled around Qingshi town and went to the grain store to buy 100 catties of refined rice and 5 catties of brown sugar.

nShe passed by a pastry shop and bought some pastries.

nWhile eating, Lin Xiaoyue took the two children to the street where Qingyun Academy was located.

nAt this time, class had just ended and there were many scholars on the streets.

nThey looked refined and some of them were wearing the academy’s uniform, looking very energetic.

nLin Xiaozhi looked at them, his face filled with admiration.

nXiao Qing was much calmer, but when he looked at the sign of the academy, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

n“Look, this is Qingyun Academy. I’ll send you here after the autumn harvest,” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said to them.

nLin Xiaozhi’s eyes flashed with excitement.

n“Thank you, sis!”

nXiao Qing also thanked Lin Xiaoyue.

n“You two should study hard in the future. That’s the best way to thank me.”

nLin Xiaoyue smiled as she looked at the few shops on the street that were close to Qingyun Academy.

nShe found that one of the pastry shops was doing particularly well, and the business of two nearby restaurants was also good.

nEven the street vendors were doing well.

nThis street wasn’t remote, and there was a lot of traffic at this hour, so business was naturally good.

n“Aunty, maybe we can sell our cold cakes here too.” Before Lin Xiaoyue could say anything, Xiao Qing had already said it.

nLin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.

n“Yes. We are thinking of the same thing.”

n“I’ll make more tomorrow afternoon. After I deliver the goods to Ruyi Restaurant, I’ll try selling them here.” Since she was going to come to town, she might as well stop by for about one hour. It would be a profit if she could sell more than a hundred bowls.

n“I’ll help!” Xiao Qing immediately said.

n“Me too!” Lin Xiaozhi said immediately.

nLin Xiaoyue laughed.

n“No need. I can do it alone. I need you two at home.”

nXiao Qing paused.

nHe remembered that they had to sell the cold cakes in the village.

nHe didn’t say anything more.

nLin Xiaozhi glanced at Xiao Qing and did not insist.
