The next day I sent the pot and a bag of salt to the clan leader, and told him that I had found a job in town and would take Dabao and Xiaobao to live there for a while. I also asked the cluster leader to take care of the vegetable garden for me. When I left, Xiuer walked me to the door and was about to say something, but I pretended not to see it. My current ability is not enough for me to help others, but if I can in the future, I don't mind helping.

It is better to make money quietly than to attract envy. I did not mention anything about buying a house. It is better to have less trouble than more.

He said hello to the head of the village, took a look around Grandma Wang's house, and then prepared to leave for the town.

There wasn't much to take. The two pots were still in town and I would take them and put them in the new house. The food was almost gone. There were only two old quilts and the tools I bought last time. I filled the three backpacks and carried a little, and that was it.

I arrived at the new house in the morning. There are three rooms, but only two quilts. Xiaobao and Dabao sleep in one room each, and I sleep in the master bedroom alone. Fortunately, the previous owner of the house left in a hurry and left a lot of furniture, including beds. It saved me a lot of money. Although the furniture is a bit old, it is already very good for now.

He bought a few buns outside for a simple meal, and bought the necessary firewood, rice, oil and salt. Dabao also turned over the small vegetable plot next to him and planted the seedlings he brought with him.

The next day I bought two boxes of snacks, some meat, and two pieces of cloth to make clothes for the little girl, and went to Brother He's house.

The person who opened the door was a pretty woman in her 30s. Seeing me coming, she was not at all restrained and said enthusiastically: "You are my sister, come in quickly. Why didn't you call your two children?"

"They are both at home. I wanted to bother Brother He today to ask about the academy."

"You and your elder brother have gone to do it. They will probably be back soon. Don't worry, it will definitely work." He Dasao said very confidently. "The couple's personalities are very similar. They are both very straightforward, cheerful and generous, and very likable.

While we were talking, Brother He came back and nodded when he saw me. "Sister, come here. You said that you have already found out about the two children going to the academy. You can go to handle the formalities this afternoon. The tuition is five taels of silver per person per year, and you have to provide your own writing materials. If you want to eat at the school, you have to pay for living expenses separately, or you can go back home to eat. But the expenses for the two children's education are not small, sister. If you have thought it through, you can take them there tomorrow."

"Thank you, Brother He. I'll send the two children over tomorrow after I've thought it over."

"Okay, then I'll go there with my sister tomorrow."

After this matter was settled, I felt relieved and talked about the renovation of the manor. Brother He decided to start the work as soon as I sent the two children to school. I think this is a good idea. After the two children go to school, there will not be much money left in the family. If we start the work here, we can ensure the family's financial resources.

In this era, nothing is worse than having money in your hands. With money, you will feel confident and courageous. Making money is the top priority!

Mrs. He wanted to keep me for dinner before going back, but I finally declined after much persuasion. Well, I walked slowly along the street to the small house. I have been in ancient times for so long, but I have never really strolled around.

This town is very lively. In the evening, there are still many people doing business. There is a large flow of people. The quaint streets make me a little dazed. When I was one year old, I couldn't tell whether I was in real life or in a dream. A group of children were playing and passed by me and bumped into me. I woke up with a start. I pinched myself and it really hurt. Maybe dreams are real, and reality is dreams!

I cheered myself up, walked quickly through the crowd, returned to the small house, opened the door, and Dabao and Xiaobao came to greet me:

Mom, how was your day today?

I laughed out loud: "Is there anything that Mom can't handle? We are going to the academy tomorrow. Are you happy? Are you excited? Are you nervous?"

Dabao smiled and said, "Mom, thank you for your hard work. I will study hard and will not let you down."

"Xiaobao will also work very hard, even harder than my brother!"

"Okay, then you guys have a competition to see who is better."

"The one who studies well will get a reward."

"Mother, what is the reward? Can you tell me?"

"I'll keep this secret for now. I'll tell you when you're good enough. If I tell you now, it won't be new. When you get first place, you'll know. If it's your brother who got it, then your brother will know. If you want to know, then study hard."

"Mother, I will definitely work hard."

"Hahahahaha, okay, both of you work hard and don't be lazy. If you don't learn well, you will be beaten. That's good, it's embarrassing."

"Learning is not just empty talk. If you want to avoid embarrassment, let's start studying now. Come on, Dabao and Xiaobao, recite and write down what you learned yesterday."

"Okay, mother, let's start now. Brother, our competition has begun. I will do my best, and you should do your best too."

"Xiaobao, stop messing around and get started! You can't beat me."

"I don't believe it. Don't look down on me. Look at my beautiful handwriting. I can recite it, too."

"The Quiet Game has begun."

Dabao ignored him and Xiaobao, who was chirping like a little sparrow, went to the side to practice writing by himself.

As I watched this scene, I felt particularly peaceful in my heart, which is very good.
