As soon as the words fell, everyone started to move. Some quickly picked up the plates, some were busy washing the dishes, and some were carefully wiping the tabletops... This scene was very different from that of an ordinary family. It turned out that Su Yu had always been considerate of his wife Deng Xian, and would take the initiative to help with housework on weekdays. Even when he was in the countryside in the past, he often helped silently.

Since their family moved to the city, there was no more gossip around them. Therefore, every child in the family had to do some housework within their ability. Su Shian was actually quite satisfied with this. Although she was not keen on doing these chores, she still felt that she could easily handle simple labor such as wiping the table and sweeping the floor.

At this moment, the study was peaceful and quiet. Deng Xian was sitting with Su Shining, holding needles and cloth, concentrating on sewing. The cloth they bought before was enough to make new clothes for several people in the family. Today, Deng Xian started to cut and sew new clothes for Su Yu.

At this time, Su Yu was surrounded by Su Shikuan, Su Shirong and Su Shian. After everyone calmed down a little, Su Yu said, "Anan, you talk and I'll write."

"Okay!" Su Shian responded, and then recounted the content he had conceived before. Su Yu listened carefully, quickly wrote it down, and asked them to practice it several times. This way, they could not only become familiar with the text, but also deepen their understanding and memory of the content.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Su Shian's mind: "If we go out to solicit customers, they will see that we are dressed like beggars and won't even bother to pay attention to us. Even if we praise this tofu to the skies, they may not believe us!"

Then, she suddenly had a good idea: "Dad, do you think it would be better if they had some picture brochures in their hands when they go out to promote it?"

Su Yu had seen through her intentions: "Not bad, then tell me your ideas in detail. Do you want me to draw again?"

"Oh! Dad, please draw the tofu pudding first, and also draw a bucket of tofu pudding."

"What next?"

"Then write the name of our Su's Tofu on it..."

"Shop sign?"

Su Shian quickly explained: "That's the name of our tofu shop. Otherwise, when someone asks where they can buy it, you can't just answer 'it's over there'!"

"Yes, that's true." Su Yu not only wrote the name of the store on the drawing paper, but also depicted the appearance of the entire store and added a flag with the name of the store on it.

The Su Family Tofu Shop was realistically presented on the paper. Su Shikuan, Su Shirong and Su Shian all exclaimed at the same time: "Wow, it's so similar!"

Su Yu's face was full of satisfaction and pride: "As long as you follow Uncle Seventh and study hard, you will be able to do it in the future."

After hearing several people nodding in response and saying that they would study hard, Su Shian always felt something was wrong. He stared at the drawing board for a long time before suddenly shouting, "No, no, Dad, it seems that something is missing here!"

Su Yu was obviously confused by his son's question and asked in confusion, "Ah? What's missing? Are you going to draw your mother and other family members on it?"

Su Shian quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, Dad, we should draw the money as well." Then, he pointed to the blank space and continued to suggest, "Dad, draw a small piece of tofu here, and put a copper coin next to it; then draw a big bowl of tofu pudding, and also draw a copper coin next to it."

After listening to Su Shian's words, Su Yu thought for a moment and nodded his head in agreement: "Well, this is a good idea." As soon as he finished speaking, he took up the paintbrush and made a big move. Not long after, as Su Shian requested, his intention was clearly and intuitively expressed through the painting.

Su Shikuan, who had been watching silently, also came forward to observe carefully. After a while, he offered his own suggestion: "Dad, in my opinion, it is enough to just draw tofu, tofu pudding and their corresponding prices."

Su Yu couldn't help but tease Su Shikuan about his opinion: "Haha, Kuan'er, I have to say that you are really a person who is good at thinking."

"I'm right. Isn't it clearer this way? Third brother, what do you think?"

"Well...if we only talk about clarity, it is true that Dad's drawing is clearer. However, the method you mentioned can better highlight the purpose, and it can also save a lot of time and effort when painting, without spending too much energy."

In fact, after Su Shirong's words, Su Shian suddenly realized that what they needed was not just one painting, but many paintings! "Dad, from what I see, what my second brother said is very good."

"How can that be? You must draw it in the style I draw." Su Yu knew that these little guys were trying to cheat, so he stood up and made room for them, saying, "Come here, I will teach you how to draw."

Seeing this, the three of them waved their hands and declined: "Dad, this is really not necessary!"

"Stop talking so much, come over quickly, Rong'er, you start first..."

In desperation, the three of them had to obey and let Su Yu teach them painting skills step by step. For a while, the whole Su family courtyard was filled with the children's "lamenting and complaining", occasionally mixed with the laughter of Deng Xian and Su Shi Ning.

After the father and his four sons worked tirelessly in the middle of the night, they finally drew seven or eight paintings with different expressions and movements but roughly similar meanings. After hearing Su Shian repeatedly say that these were enough, Su Yu let the three of them go as if relieved.

In the morning of the next day, everyone was busy with their own work as usual... Some were busy teaching, some continued to sell their homemade tofu on the street, and some went to Deng's house to study calligraphy with the teacher. In fact, Su Shian originally planned to find those children early in the morning, but Su Yu sent them all to Deng Qiyue on the grounds that their studies were important and could not be neglected, and specifically told Deng Qiyue to supervise them to complete the homework tasks for the day, otherwise he was not allowed to let them leave easily.

Deng Qiyue didn't seem to care about this matter. After all, his business was already on track, and he only needed to do a little inspection or check the accounts on a daily basis.
