The Little Lucky Girl.

In the blink of an eye, the village school started. Old man Su took his grandchildren to find the teacher of the school, paid the tuition, and took the children back, waiting to go to school tomorrow!

The village school started a few years ago when a scholar came to Sujia Village and settled there. The villagers called him Master Liu, a scholar! He later approached the village chief and proposed opening a school. He offered a tuition of one tael of silver per child per year for local residents, and two taels per child for those from other villages. Hearing this was a good thing for the villagers, the chief agreed and built a few houses next to the village ancestral hall.

As for Mr. Liu's family background, all I heard was that his family fell into poverty and both his parents died!

Back home, Old Man Su asked Su Zhiyuan, "Second brother, you also have to go back to your old college to study and try to take the autumn exam this year."

Su Laoer had always been a good student, but his family was too poor to pay the tuition, so he did not continue his studies after passing the examination for a Tongsheng degree!

"Okay, Dad, I think so too. Let's go tomorrow! Dad, let's buy an ox cart tomorrow. It's inconvenient to go anywhere without one!"

"Okay, your brother and I will take it to the academy tomorrow and buy it!"

During dinner in the evening, little Su Qing learned from everyone's conversation that his father would go to college to continue his studies tomorrow. His big eyes rolled around and he had a plan in his mind.

The next morning, when he woke up, he saw a large Ganoderma lucidum. Although he had witnessed his daughter's magic before, he was still shocked! He took the Ganoderma lucidum to Old Man Su's house, and Old Man Su was also shocked. They all exchanged glances tacitly without saying a word!

After breakfast, Su Laoer said goodbye to his wife and daughter and went to the county town with Su Laotou and Su Da Ge!

When I got to the county town, I first went to Jishan Hall to sell Ganoderma lucidum. This Ganoderma lucidum was large, old, and effective, so the shopkeeper gave me two hundred taels of silver.

The father and his two sons were not nervous as they were the first time with the silver in their pockets. They first went to buy an ox cart and spent eight taels of silver.

Then he sent Su Zhiyuan to study at the former Songlin Academy.

After finishing all this, Old Man Su and Uncle Su drove the ox cart home. When they arrived at Sujia Village, the villagers on the road greeted them warmly. They said that Old Man Su's family had made a fortune and even bought this ox cart! Old Man Su and Uncle Su just smiled and drove the ox cart home!

When they got home, Old Man Su handed the silver to Old Lady Wang and said, "The Ganoderma lucidum is worth two hundred taels of silver, and the ox cart is worth eight taels of silver."

Old Mrs. Wang quickly put the silver away. Now that she had money on her side, she felt much more at ease!

It's the second day of February, the Dragon Raises its Head

Su Zhiyuan and several children are on vacation at home today.

The Dragon Raising its Head on the Second Day of the Second Month, also known as the Spring Ploughing Festival, Agricultural Festival, Green Dragon Festival, and Spring Dragon Festival, is a traditional Chinese folk festival with a long history, closely tied to the worship of natural celestial phenomena and agricultural culture. The following is a detailed description of the origins and customs of the Dragon Raising its Head on the Second Day of the Second Month:

The origin of this day is the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar. In the sky, the "Dragon Horn Star" of the Eastern Azure Dragon's seven stars rises from the eastern horizon, symbolizing "the dragon raising its head". The ancients believed that this was a sign of the coming of spring rain, which was of vital importance to farming life.

It is a custom to eat dragon food: On the second day of the second lunar month, people eat various foods related to the dragon. For example, eating dumplings symbolizes "eating dragon ears," eating noodles is called "supporting dragon whiskers," and eating wontons is called "eating dragon eyes." These foods are not only delicious but also symbolize the hope for a better life in the new year.

Dragon worship and rain prayers: People would go to dragon temples or rivers to worship the dragon god, praying for favorable weather and a good harvest. In some areas, dragon boat races were also held to pray for good luck.

The dragon lanterns are also released to pray for good weather and good harvests.

Today everyone is preparing for the February 2nd Festival. Old Wang took out the peanuts she had saved and fried them for her eldest daughter-in-law. Mrs. Xiao made bread and dumplings. Old Wang held her baby in her arms. Old Su and his son prepared sacrificial items and followed the village chief and the young and old men in the village to the river to worship the Dragon God!

The whole family had a lively dinner in the evening!
