Qian Lin came to his house the night before he left and brought delicious food for Li Ruyi and Li Ankang.

Mao Xiaosui didn't see Qian Lin often, but he also knew that he had been studying with Qin An in the shop recently, and Li Ruyi was quite familiar with him.

Mao Xiaosui picked up Li Ruyi when he saw him putting the snacks on the table.

Li Ruyi kicked her feet and moved, as if she wanted to get down, but Qian Lin obviously didn't notice.

"Leaving tomorrow?" Mao Xiaosui looked at Qian Lin, who was tall and tall, and then at Li Ankang, who looked like a dwarf, and felt terribly upset.

Qian Lin nodded, "Go and visit the master in advance and make arrangements."

At this time, Li Yunshan said, "Sit down and play first" and went out.

Mao Xiaosui didn't know what he was doing and didn't ask.

In addition to coming to say goodbye, Qian Lin mainly wanted to see Li Ruyi and Li Ankang. He hugged one and the other.

Li Ankang was familiar with him because he often saw him in school. When Qian Lin asked him to study hard, he also seriously agreed.

Li Yunshan came back quickly, holding something in his arms. When he entered the house, Mao Xiaosui saw that it was a long wooden box with the name of the only shop selling pens and ink in the town.

Given Qian Lin's ambition, it would be appropriate for Li Yunshan to give him a pen.

Qian Lin was embarrassed, but he still accepted it.

Li Yunshan smiled and said, "Open it and see if you like it."

Qian Lin opened it carefully and immediately said, "It's too expensive."

Mao Xiaosui thought to himself how valuable it could be, and then glanced at it and found that what Li Yunshan bought was the most expensive one in the store.

Qian Lin obviously liked it, but felt it was precious. Li Yunshan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just study hard. How valuable can a pen be?"

Qian Lin also understood their good intentions and it was a farewell gift, so he did not refuse and accepted it after thanking him.

Qian Lin said to Li Ankang, "I'm waiting for you in the county. You have to work harder, you know?"

Li Ankang glanced at Mao Xiaosui, his face full of embarrassment.

Mao Xiaosui ignored him, while Qian Lin just stared at Li Ankang and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Li Ankang mumbled back, "I just want to learn how to read..."

Qian Lin seemed a little surprised, "You don't want to take the scientific examination?"

Li Ankang nodded slightly, feeling very guilty.

Qian Lin smiled quickly after being stunned and patted him on the shoulder, "Then you can read well. Ankang will be promising in the future even if he doesn't pass the scientific examination."

Li Ankang smiled when he saw that he was not angry, nodded heavily, and asked Qian Lin, "Brother, will you come back in the future?"

Qian Lin laughed, "My family is in the town and I will naturally come back. I will come to see you then."

Li Ankang agreed.

It was getting late now. After another conversation with the two children, Qian Lin left.

Li Ankang looked at it with reluctance and kept watching until Qian Lin walked out of the alley and was out of sight before pulling Li Ruyi into the house.

Mao Xiaosui was a little surprised to see his obviously depressed expression, "Are you so reluctant to let go?"

Li Ankang muttered, "Brother Qian Lin is so kind. He gives me half of the eggs every day, and sometimes leaves snacks for me..."

have to. Mao Xiaosui said in her heart that she had the best food after all, but she was quite happy for Qian Lin. His dream of taking the imperial examination had officially begun.

On the day Qian Lin left, they went to the town gate to see him off. Because it was raining, they chose to walk, accompanied by Qian Sheng.

Zhang Qing asked him over and over again with red eyes, while Qian Yiyi also cried.

Li Ankang also looked very reluctant, but Li Ruyi was normal, just standing obediently.

Qian Lin touched Qian Yiyi's head helplessly and said funnyly, "I'm just going to study and I'll be back during the Chinese New Year. Don't cry."

Qian Yiyi sniffed and said, "I can't bear to leave my brother."

Qian Lin smiled and said, "You don't have to be beaten if I leave."

Qian Yiyi curled her lips and her tears stopped.

Zhang Qing was successfully amused.

No matter how reluctant he was, he had to leave. Qian Lin waved his hand and walked away from Qian Sheng without looking back.

Zhang Qing was both happy and reluctant to let go. She stared at it for a long time, turning from a human figure into a dot, and couldn't bear to look away.

Mao Xiaosui lowered his head and looked at Li Ruyi and Li Ankang. Li Ruyi would most likely not leave. What if Li Ankang wanted to go out for a try in the future? I wonder if she would feel the same way.

She was thinking sadly when she heard Li Ankang ask, "Can I not go to school?"

Mao Xiaosui immediately pulled back from his wandering thoughts and raised his hand with a fried chestnut: "No."

Li Ankang curled his lips and muttered, "Why can Ruyi not go to school?"

Li Ruyi immediately glared, "I'm not going."

Mao Xiaosui looked at the two children who started to quarrel about going to school and couldn't help but think about whether he was so annoyed about going to school in the first place.

It seems so. I don't think about it in the morning, I'm afraid of getting hit in class, and I'm frightened all day long...

But it's still different. Going to school in this era is much more difficult than it was in her time, and even hearing it every day gives me a headache.

After all, they are other people's children, and they are not that sentimental or reluctant. Li Yunshan has already dragged Li Ankang to the school, and Mao Xiaosui also advised Zhang Qing to "go back."

Zhang Qing wiped her tears and nodded, chatting and asked her, "Have you figured out what store to open?"

"Any other store can open anything, but rabbit meat is not available for the time being."

"Why don't you open a rabbit meat dumpling shop? It's your own rabbit meat anyway."

Mao Xiaosui frowned. The dumplings were too big and required a lot of fillings. It would be better to open wontons, but if business is not good, it would be in vain.

"talk later."

After saying goodbye to Zhang Qing, she took Li Ruyi home. When she opened the door, she saw Xu Xiaoyan running into the alley and heading to Widow Qian's house.

It was raining and there was no business. Xu Xiaoyan might be taking a rest, but she still felt that Xu Xiaoyan's behavior of running home all the time was not appropriate.

Li Yunshan came back very quickly. Except for Li Ruyi and Li Ankang, who ate steamed buns in the morning, neither she nor Li Yunshan ate anything.

Mao Xiaosui washed his hands and prepared to cook. He asked Li Yunshan, "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever." Li Yunshan also followed into the kitchen.

Li Ruyi was full, so she said, "I won't eat."

Mao Xiaosui glanced at her and asked, "Are you sure?"

Li Ruyi nodded and took Wangwang hostage to the old lady's house.

Mao Xiaosui yelled at Qin An, who was lazying next door and didn't go to the shop, to check Li Ruyi's homework.

Li Ruyi walked out and immediately returned to the house.

Mao Xiaosui chuckled and said, "It's useless to escape, hurry up and learn."

Mao Xiaosui dug out two bowls of white noodles, boiled water in a pot to scald the noodles to make brown sugar cakes, cooked an egg mushroom soup, and fried a few brown sugar eggs.

Li Yunshan called out to Li Ruyi, but Li Ruyi still replied, "I won't eat."

After he took the brown sugar cake and wandered around the house, Li Ruyi soon ran over.

No one was sitting on the stool and the cake was already stuffed into his mouth. Mao Xiaosui raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say you won't eat it?"

Li Ruyi laughed, picked up the chopsticks and started eating the omelette.

Wangwang kept pulling at Li Ruyi's legs anxiously, and Li Ruyi was happy to coddle him. He tore a large piece of the brown sugar cake and put it on the ground for him.

Mao Xiaosui said, "Blow it, it's very hot when it comes out of the pot."

Li Ruyi took the cake back from Wangwang's mouth, puffed her cheeks and blew it a few times before giving it to it again.

Heizi was also greedy, but instead of looking for Li Ruyi, he rubbed Mao Xiaosui directly.

Mao Xiaosui took one, broke it open and blew on it.

Heizi doesn't eat things from other people's hands, so Mao Xiaosui held it and kept wagging its tail anxiously. After Mao Xiaosui put it on the ground, he took half of it in his mouth and finished it in the blink of an eye.

Mao Xiaosui hit it on the head with chopsticks and cursed, "Wild boars can't taste fine chaff."

Heizi said "Wang" and took the remaining half of Wangwang away in his mouth.

Mao Xiaosui threw another one to it, and Heizi took it and lay down under Mao Xiaosui's stool, looking very defensive.
