The teacher gently placed the brush on the table, then slowly turned around and looked at the two people in front of him.

One of them was an older father, and the other was a boy who was not even fifteen years old. It was obvious that they came here to study.

The Master stroked his beard and said softly, "My child, raise your head so that I can take a good look at you." Upon hearing this, Li Yuanbo raised his head obediently and looked into the Master's eyes bravely. There was no fear in his eyes, but instead an unwavering expression.

The Master nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction, "Well, not bad..."

Then, the teacher turned his gaze to Li's father and asked, "Are you here to study in our school?" Li's father nodded quickly.

The teacher smiled and continued to ask, "So, when do you plan to start school?" After that, the teacher's gaze returned to Li Yuanbo again, as if waiting for his answer.

Li Yuanbo pondered for a moment and said, "The sooner the better!"

Mr. Li had no objection. He had no objection as long as the child was willing to come earlier.

Seeing that Mr. Li did not object, the teacher said softly, "In that case, then please come here on time at noon tomorrow to report. Well... just arrange for you to be in the class I teach. You can go home once every Sunday in the future. My surname is Yu, you can call me 'Mr. Yu'!"

After Mr. Yu briefly introduced himself, he was very satisfied with the child named Li Yuanbo.

"Mr. Yu, please accept my greetings!" Li Yuanbo looked solemn and respectful as he bowed to Mr. Yu and greeted him as his teacher.

"No need to be polite." Mr. Yu smiled and waved his hand.

Father Li handed Mr. Yu the five taels of silver he had prepared for the funeral and two taels of silver for the purchase of books, then turned and left the Academy of Rites and Music.

Li Kangze sat alone on the ox cart, watching the passers-by with boredom.

When he saw Li's father and Li Yuanbo coming out of the academy gate, he immediately jumped off the ox cart excitedly, ran up to the two and asked, "Brother, have you successfully entered the academy?"

"Yes, I'm in. I can officially start school tomorrow." Li Yuanbo replied happily.

"That's great! When big brother comes back after finishing his studies, he must teach me and my third brother." Li Kangze felt that it would never hurt to know more characters. After all, this was a major matter related to long-term development in the future.

"Don't worry, I will study hard!" Li Yuanbo agreed without hesitation, saying that he would not let his brothers down.

Father Li drove the old ox cart slowly towards Lijia Village. Along the way, the father and his two sons talked and laughed, and they were very happy.

While Ye was preparing lunch, Li Youran had already gotten up and was feeding the little wild rabbits in the yard. These rabbits grew fast and were getting fat.

"Eat the grass quickly, or I'll braise you!" Li Youran fed the wild rabbit grass and threatened it fiercely.

The little wild rabbits seemed to understand Li Youran's words and scrambled to grab the food.

Seeing this, Li Youran simply stopped feeding the baby. She was indeed very bored. Her eldest brother, second brother and father had all gone to town, her third brother had gone to the mountains to pick wild mushrooms, and Ye was busy making lunch, so she was the one who had the least time.

Li Youran took small steps leisurely with his short legs, his hands behind his back, looking like an adult. He secretly took out a few bags of fruit and a bamboo basket from the space.

She carried a basket of big apples to visit her grandparents. Her grandparents had always loved her as their granddaughter, so they must have been happy to carry the fruits over herself.

Li Youran was small and couldn't reach the door handle, so she could only knock on the door. Old Mrs. Cheng shouted from inside the house, "Who is it?" Then she got up and walked to the yard and opened the door.

Seeing Li Youran was alone, he asked, "Hey, my precious granddaughter, why are you here alone?"

Li Youran smiled sweetly, melting Old Lady Cheng's heart. "Grandma, hehe, look at the big apples I brought."

Old Mrs. Cheng took the basket from Li Youran with a kind look on her face. "Now that you're here, what are you bringing? Come in quickly. Your grandfather is thinking about you!"

Li Youran skipped into the main room. Old man Li was smoking a pipe, squinting his eyes as smoke came out.

Seeing Li Youran coming, he put down the pipe in his hand and said, "Youran is here, come and let grandpa hug you."

Li Youran rushed into Old Man Li's arms. She could see that her grandfather had lost a lot of weight, but she couldn't figure out the reason. She planned to take her grandparents to the town to see a doctor when she had time.

"Grandfather, I miss you so much!" Li Youran said from the bottom of his heart.

"Grandfather wants to be leisurely too!"

The two of them hugged each other reluctantly. Li Youran sat on Old Man Li's lap and flattered him with her little mouth, making Old Man Li laugh out loud.

When Old Lady Cheng was about to prepare lunch, Li Youran quickly stopped her: "Grandpa and Grandma, please come to my house to eat. Mother cooks a lot of rice and there is also delicious mushroom soup."

"What is mushroom soup?" It was the first time that Old Lady Cheng heard of mushroom soup, and naturally she didn't know that mushrooms could be eaten.

"You'll know when you get there!" Li Youran kept it a secret.
