Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

According to Zhang, they just needed to find a stall and do their business, but Li Mingxia was unwilling to do so.

She came to the town every day to sell things these days, and had a corresponding understanding of the prices in the town. The prices in big restaurants were indeed expensive, but ordinary small restaurants were completely affordable for them with their current ability to make money.

"We can't afford to eat like this every day. It's not a big deal to eat here once or twice occasionally. Besides, this restaurant is not expensive. Mom, just trust me." Li Mingxia comforted Zhang when he saw her hesitantly standing at the door. Without waiting for her to refuse, he pulled Zhang and the three little kids into the restaurant.

The waiter came over immediately and took the five of them to sit down at an empty table.

"What would you like to eat?" Xiao Er poured the tea skillfully and mentioned some of the food in the store.

"Five bowls of beef noodle soup, four small bowls of beef noodles and one large bowl, a portion of pickled vegetables and a portion of fried bamboo shoots, that's all." Li Mingxia said after thinking for a while.

The waiter wrote it down and said with a smile, "The soup in the beef noodle soup is also delicious. It's free. If you need it, I'll serve you a few bowls later."

Li Mingxia hurriedly thanked him. Of course it was if necessary. The soup in this beef noodle soup should be made from beef bones. Although it cannot be compared with the bone soup made at home, how can he not want it for free?

Zhang glanced at the diners around her and found that some of them were dressed similarly to her. The thought suddenly occurred to her that not only “rich people” could eat in a restaurant, and she felt less embarrassed.

Soon their food was served. Li Mingxia took a few bites of everything and drank half a bowl of the beef noodle soup. The taste was just average, but Zhang and the children enjoyed it very much.

“It’s delicious, but its cooking skills are far inferior to my elder sister’s.” Li Zhengde drank the last mouthful of soup, smacked his lips, and gave a fair evaluation.

Zhang and Mingqiu and Mingdong also nodded. Although they said so, they all ate up everything. Even the half bowl of noodles left by Li Mingxia was eaten by Zhang.

After paying the money, Li Mingxia went to the bookstore and picked out a copy of Three Character Classic. She planned to take advantage of this period of time to teach Li Zhengde some Chinese characters so that he would not be clueless when he entered school. It would not be difficult to teach him these things herself anyway, but how could she bother explaining to him the fact that she could suddenly recognize Chinese characters?

Li Mingxia thought about it for a long time and finally found a solution in the corner of her memory. After returning home and having dinner, she took out the Three Character Classic.

"What is this? A book?" Li Zhengde's eyes sparkled, and Li Mingxia felt sad when she read it under the oil lamp.

Her younger brother is sensible and smart, so why are the people in the Li family’s old house so partial to him?

Two years ago, the villagers jointly invested in building a school and invited an old scholar to teach. The tuition was not expensive, it could be silver, grain, eggs or cloth. Under such circumstances, almost all the people in Qianniu Village sent their children to study in the school. Except for Li Zhengde and Li Zhengyi, all the grandchildren of the Li family entered the village school. Oh, Li Zhengxue did not, because he had been studying in the town.

For this extremely unfair thing, Mr. Li gave the reason that Li Zhengyi was too old and it was useless for him to study, and Li Zhengde was too playful to study. Mrs. Zheng said bluntly that she had the final say in the family and she could let whoever she wanted go.

Zhang shed countless tears because of this matter, but the money was in the hands of Old Mrs. Zheng, so who could do anything?

Now that the family has split up, Li Mingxia is helpless as there is no news from his eldest brother. However, Li Zhengde is right in front of him, so this regret can be made up for.

"Brother, do you want to study?" Li Mingxia touched Li Zhengde's head and put the Three Character Classic in his hand.

Li Zhengde blinked. His elder sister had already asked him this question a long time ago. He understood that the reason why she brought it up again at this time was to settle the matter in front of everyone.

Li Zhengde nodded, "Yes, I do! Mom, sister, I want to go to school!"

Zhang looked at Li Zhengde and then at Li Mingxia, her eyes red. She recalled the past events in the old Li family mansion, and felt more and more sorry for her youngest son. She reached out and hugged Li Zhengde, her voice choking with sobs: "It's all because of mother's incompetence that you guys have suffered so much over the years. If you want to study, go ahead. I'll support you even if I have to sell everything I have!"

This classic line is really heard in modern times and it will never go out of date even though it was from ancient times.

Li Mingdong and Li Mingqiu didn’t know why their mother and brother suddenly started crying, so they could only stay by their side to wipe their tears and comfort them in a low voice.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Mingxia also suggested teaching a few children to recognize words first.

As soon as Zhang's surprised and puzzled gaze fell on Li Mingxia, she said the words she had already prepared.

"When the school was open two years ago, I also secretly listened to the classes by the window, and I also learned a lot of characters secretly. If nothing else, it will be no problem for me to teach the three of them. We will send Zhengde to school next spring."

Zhang sighed, looked at Li Mingxia with eyes full of pride, and nodded, "My eldest daughter is so smart!"

Li Mingxia secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

But no matter what, the matter was settled. From then on, every night after dinner, Li Mingxia would ask Li Zhengde to recite the Three Character Classic, and Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong would also learn along.

Li Mingxia said to Zhang: "Although girls cannot take the imperial examinations, if they read more books, they will be able to distinguish right from wrong and not be unable to tell right from wrong. If they marry without knowing what is right, and meet unreasonable mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, they will be bullied!"

Zhang had never intended to object to her two daughters learning to read. She knew very well that in this era, scholars were the most respected. Girls who could do accounting and write would be looked up to when it came time for marriage. After hearing what Li Mingxia said, Zhang supported it a hundred times and agreed with it a thousand times.

Li Zhengde seized every opportunity to read, because Li Mingxia told him that as long as he could recite twenty sentences of the Three Character Classic, he would be rewarded with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Then he would be able to really read and write!

Li Mingxia was also busy. The supply of crayfish has now increased from 100 kilograms to 150 kilograms, and 30 kilograms of miscellaneous fish are also supplied every day.
