After transmigrating, he supported his family by working at a garbage dump.

Qingshan Town entrance.

"He Niang, I sell things on this street. Let's meet in front of the bookstore in half an hour. What do you think?"

Hu Sanniang, carrying her small basket, discussed with Li Quanfu and Zhang He how they would meet up later.

Xu Zhuzhu's mother was the most easygoing in these matters; she always accommodated others, so she was fine with anything and naturally agreed with a smile.

Recalling the journey there, Hu San Niang told many stories about her elder brother, Hu Da, who was a constable.

Xu Zhuzhu listened silently.

According to Hu San Niang, Hu Da was a favorite of the registrar. If it weren't for wanting to be closer to his parents and frequently show filial piety, he would have followed the registrar to the county to make a better future. Why would he stay in this small town and waste his time?

It's a good thing to be able to help the registrar now.

"It seems that my brother-in-law is quite capable. I heard that he is now helping the registrar with his business. It is clear that his future is limitless."

Zhang He continued Hu San Niang's words.

At that time, Hu San Niang's lips were filled with pride, which showed how much she liked her elder brother.

Xu Zhuzhu was curious about other stories, such as what exactly was the relationship between Hu Da and the registrar.

She thought for a moment, then deliberately said something that sounded both funny and absurd, but her real intention was to find out, "How come my uncle has become a big shot? Why isn't he a big shot anymore?"

Hu San Niang burst into laughter at Xu Zhuzhu's words.

Even Li Quanfu couldn't help but say, "What red and green? Little Pearl, this isn't the red of red flowers and green leaves, it's not like that at all."

Zhang He looked at Xu Zhuzhu with amusement, her expression quite helpless.

At that moment, Xu Zhuzhu was lying on Hu Sanniang's back, her hands tightly gripping her shoulders, her round head with two topknots, her head tilted to one side.

Zhang He pinched Xu Zhuzhu's little nose, "Little devil, that's not how your mother taught you to talk. Look, now your godfather and godmother are laughing at you!"

Xu Zhuzhu inwardly scoffed, "What does it matter?"

She's just a little kid; if she says anything outrageous, everyone will just take it as childish talk.

Sure enough, after laughing, Hu Sanniang continued, "I heard from your eldest uncle that she saved the life of the registrar, which is why he values ​​her so much..."

So it was a life-saving grace?

At that moment, Hu Dafang's upright and serious face flashed by, and Xu Zhuzhu's mind quickly processed a piece of information, but she did not catch it.

She just felt that this life-saving grace was probably not such a simple matter, but Hu San Niang didn't know the specifics of the matter, so she didn't listen.

He lay on Hu Sanniang's back and dozed off. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in town.

……

Hu Da has a small courtyard in town, just big enough for his family of three to live in.

To avoid troubling him, his parents lived with his younger brother in the village. So every four or five days, Hu Da would bring his wife and children back to the village to show his filial piety.

Hu Da's courtyard was at the end of North Street, quite different from the street they had planned to visit, which was full of people doing business, and it was also on the edge of the town.

The Li couple originally planned to go together, but Hu San Niang wanted to sell all her eggs as soon as possible so she could spend her time shopping with Zhang He.

Besides, she felt embarrassed to take Zhang He and her two children to such a far place, so she simply let Li Quanfu deliver the sack of things her father wanted to give to her sister-in-law himself.

He would sell eggs on the street for a while, and let Zhang He deliver the things that needed to be delivered first, and then they would stroll around together.

Zhang He naturally had no objections. It wouldn't take her long to deliver the items, so she made an appointment with Hu San Niang to go to the bookstore to find her in half an hour.

Speaking of Li Xiaomo, he almost forgot that he came here to study.

After all, he and Xu An had been hopping and skipping along the official road, having a great time.

But as soon as he entered the town, he remembered this incident and became listless.

Xu Zhuzhu curiously leaned over and asked him what had happened.

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, Li Xiaomo's condition worsened, and his face, which was blacker than ink, could have been written with characters that stretched for miles.

Seeing this, Xu An also sullenly explained for her, "Brother Xiao Mo is going to school soon and will be staying at his uncle's house from today onwards. He can only come home once every two weeks, so he's not happy."

It's just the start of the school year, surely it shouldn't be that serious?

Then his brother calmly added, "Little Mo hasn't finished memorizing his books. It's homework the teacher assigned before the break, and he's afraid the teacher will make him memorize it, and he won't be able to..."

"Ha ha ha ha…."

Xu Zhuzhu glanced at Li Xiaomo lightly, then burst into laughter.

Indeed, for children all over the world, regardless of the era, not finishing their homework at the start of the school year is the hardest hurdle to overcome.

Seeing Xu Zhuzhu's strong reaction, Li Xiaomo felt a burning sensation in her heart.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Xiaomo, who was usually shameless and always laughing, suddenly blushed, her face turning red from her neck up to her ears.

He tried to remain calm and make amends.

"No...it's not that I can't memorize it, it's that the teacher assigned it too difficult. I asked Uncle Xu last time, and he said that it's common for someone my age not to be able to memorize it."

The child was so embarrassed that he started to stutter a little.

Xu Zhuzhu, afraid of hurting Li Xiaomo's self-esteem, quickly suppressed her smile.

That's true. Reading was really troublesome for people in ancient times. Otherwise, how could someone with her mental capacity not be able to read a single book, and even feel sleepy as soon as she touches a book?

"Zhuzhu, you're lazy."

Xu An made an inappropriate remark.

Xu Zhuzhu blushed, of course, her laziness was also a big factor.

However, thinking that he had no right to laugh at Li Xiaomo, he quickly apologized with a face full of remorse, "Brother Xiaomo, I didn't mean to. Here, have a piece of candy to calm you down."

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket, fumbled for the bag of chocolate beans inside, and swiftly stuffed them into Li Xiaomo's mouth.

Li Xiaomo welcomes everyone who comes to him. These days, when Xu An comes to visit him, he always brings him some snacks, so he's gotten used to the siblings' behavior.

"I'm not angry."

With a chocolate bean in his mouth, he spoke frankly.

Noticing the soft, sticky, bitter-sweet substance in her mouth, she asked in confusion, "What kind of candy is this? It tastes really good. Where did you buy it? I've never had it before."

Xu Zhuzhu smiled and changed the subject, saying that it was a gift from someone else.

Coincidentally, Zhang He and Hu San Niang and the others had already made an appointment, so they decided to go about their own business.

Without delay, Li Quanfu pulled Li Xiaomo toward the school.

Li Xiaomo kept turning back to say, "Mom, our Dahuang is about to give birth. Remember to keep an eye on them so they don't get cold."

"Hey, I got it!"

Hu San Niang agreed, but her heart was filled with emotion.

Watching her child grow up year by year, and now having been in school for almost three years, she feels very at ease.

She gave me a long list of instructions, "Don't worry, your mother is here. Just listen carefully to the teacher's lessons and don't be naughty..."

"Mother, I know."

Li Xiaomo turned around and looked at everyone with a sorrowful expression, her face full of bitterness and a pitiful look.

But after taking two steps, she turned back and said, "No, Mother, you should tell Da Huang not to give birth yet, wait until I come back to give birth."

Except for the first year when Hu Sanniang personally came to town to send Li Xiaomo to the school, she sent him from home for the next two years, so Li Xiaomo naturally didn't cause any trouble.

He was already getting impatient, but Li Xiaomo kept talking on and on.

She glanced at Li Xiaomo sideways, her gaze settling on a fence belonging to someone by the roadside, and pulled one out.

Just moments ago, Li Xiaomo was acting and dawdling, but now she was so frightened that she jumped up and ran forward, saying "I'm leaving" as she went, and ran towards the school without looking back.

Even Li Quanfu was left far behind.

Hu Sanniang threw the bamboo stick on the ground and laughed, cursing, "You brat!"

Xu Zhuzhu forced herself to turn her head away to avoid laughing out loud, and her mother and brother's expressions weren't much better.

After that, the two families separated.

Zhang He, with her two children, first visited Mr. Wu's bookstore.

To their surprise, when the mother and her two children arrived, Mr. Wu was no longer there; only his wife was in the shop watching over things.

As soon as Zhang Heyi said that he was Mr. Wu’s friend and that his surname was Xu, Mrs. Wu knew who he was.

“Madam Xu, please have a seat. My husband was talking about it before he left this morning. It just so happens that the school starts today, and my husband went to deliver books to the children early this morning. He hasn’t come back yet.”

Zhang He suddenly realized, "Oh right, Li Xiaomo also started school on this day. I hadn't thought of that."
