I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

"That's right! I'm just happy because I sold the bamboo ginseng! Besides, Grandpa gave me so much money, but you and Grandma got nothing. I feel bad about it! So I bought something to make up for it."

After that, she handed the rice paper on the table to her third brother and said, "Take this paper and write well. Try to pass the imperial examinations like my father. Of course, it would be even better if you can surpass him. From now on, my second sister will rely on you."

Liu Wenxuan happily took it and thanked her, "Thank you, Second Sister. I will study hard in the future and become a high-ranking official. Then you can do whatever you want!"

They had a holiday before because of spring plowing, but when they were about to go back to school, the teacher fell ill again, so their holiday was longer than other schools. He only started going to school every day again today.

"I'm sorry to have cost you so much, Xiaoxiao. Actually, your third brother still has some Xuan paper, which was brought back by your parents last time. It's just that the child is reluctant to use it. He usually only uses it when he has to hand in the homework assigned by the teacher." The second aunt felt a little embarrassed when she saw that her niece had bought Xuan paper for her son. After all, they knew how expensive Xuan paper was.

"You still have to use it when you need it. Don't save this little money and delay your studies, okay?" Liu Xiaoxiao disagreed.

Liu Wenxuan hurriedly said, "Second sister is right. I will pay attention to it in the future."

After talking about her third brother, she handed the candies, cakes, and pork on the table to Grandma Liu and said, "Grandma, when will you get the meat? I want to braise this pork belly. I also bought some sugar. Remember to put some in the braised pork when you make it. And you can distribute these candies and cakes. I don't know what everyone is short of, so I bought some food to treat everyone and celebrate."

"Sister Xiaoxiao, here is the roast chicken prepared by Madam! Maybe she bought too much at noon, so my mother specially kept some for you. You have to eat it tonight, otherwise I'm afraid it will go bad tomorrow." Cui'er took out the roast chicken from the basket.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's take it to the kitchen first! Let my aunt warm it up."

Just as she finished making the arrangements, Grandma Liu stood up and said, "We won't have time to cook meat tonight. Brother Kun, take the meat and put it in a bucket and put it in the well to cool it down. As for the cakes, keep them in my room and share them with everyone tomorrow. We're almost dinner time today, so there's no need to eat cakes."

Seeing that everyone had no objection to what Grandma Liu said, she prepared to take the things in.

At this time, Grandpa Liu called her and said, "Wait a moment. Since everyone is here, I will tell everyone about my trip to sell ginseng today."

"We took this wild ginseng to the old doctor in town to sell it. He said the scientific name of this wild ginseng is Panax notoginseng. He also said that the price in the county town might be higher than his. But I thought it was too far to go to the county town and it wouldn't be cost-effective for us to go back and forth, so I sold it to him directly."

"No wonder I was confused when I heard my second sister talking about bamboo ginseng just now! It turns out that wild ginseng is bamboo ginseng!" The second brother said as if he suddenly realized something.

Grandpa Liu then told everyone how much he sold it for and how he divided the money.

"So now, the kids can come to me and pick them up, and then hand them over to their parents for safekeeping."

After calculating it this way, it turned out that the eldest and second brothers gave a total of 20 taels to the eldest uncle's family, the third brother and San Ya gave 20 taels to the second uncle's family, and Xiaoxiao got the biggest share, also 20 taels to her mother. In the end, it felt quite fair.

"Thank you, Dad." At this time, the eldest uncle and the second uncle both spoke up to express their gratitude.

"Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank your niece. Just be nice to her in the future."

"We know Dad," the eldest uncle, second uncle and second aunt said in unison.

"Xiaoxiao, if anyone bullies you in the future, tell your uncle and he will send your brothers to bully them back," Liu Mao added.

"Xiaoxiao, if you have any problems in the future, just tell me. I will let Daya and Sanya help you. They will hit wherever you point." Liu Jing also promised.
