Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

165 The Street Near the Academy

Lin Xiaozhi’s eyes lit up.

“Aunt, I don’t want the money.” Xiao Qing said.

He ate at home, and in the future, he would have to spend the family’s money to study in town. Now that he could finally help out, how could he ask for money?

“Ii also don’t want the money,” Lin Xiaozhi quickly followed.

Children tend to copy others blindly.

Lin Xiaoyue laughed.

“Why not? It’s a chance for you to save some money. I’ll give you such opportunities from time to time.”

“It’s good for children to learn how to manage money from a young age. With the money in hand, you can buy whatever you need at the academy.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Xiao Qing’s eyes flickered as he thought that this made sense.

Lin Xiaozhi looked at Xiao Qing. Whatever he did, he would do.

“In the future, when everyone comes to our house to buy cold cakes, I won’t pay you anymore.” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

“Alright, then. Thank you, aunty!” Xiao Qing finally said.

“Thank you!” Lin Xiaozhi’s face bloomed with joy.

“Hehe…” Lin Xiaoyue’s face was full of smiles.

As she chatted with the two children, they soon arrived at Qingshi Town.

They entered the city and went to Ruyi Restaurant.

Lin Xiaoyue handed the four buckets of cold cakes to the kitchen staff and went to the accountant to receive 300 wen before leaving with the two children.

Thinking that it was inconvenient to retrieve the wooden buckets, Lin Xiaoyue simply rode the ox-cart to the grocery store. She immediately ordered ten more wooden buckets.

After that, they strolled around Qingshi town and went to the grain store to buy 100 catties of refined rice and 5 catties of brown sugar.

She passed by a pastry shop and bought some pastries.

While eating, Lin Xiaoyue took the two children to the street where Qingyun Academy was located.

At this time, class had just ended and there were many scholars on the streets.

They looked refined and some of them were wearing the academy’s uniform, looking very energetic.

Lin Xiaozhi looked at them, his face filled with admiration.

Xiao Qing was much calmer, but when he looked at the sign of the academy, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

“Look, this is Qingyun Academy. I’ll send you here after the autumn harvest,” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said to them.

Lin Xiaozhi’s eyes flashed with excitement.

“Thank you, sis!”

Xiao Qing also thanked Lin Xiaoyue.

“You two should study hard in the future. That’s the best way to thank me.”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled as she looked at the few shops on the street that were close to Qingyun Academy.

She found that one of the pastry shops was doing particularly well, and the business of two nearby restaurants was also good.

Even the street vendors were doing well.

This street wasn’t remote, and there was a lot of traffic at this hour, so business was naturally good.

“Aunty, maybe we can sell our cold cakes here too.” Before Lin Xiaoyue could say anything, Xiao Qing had already said it.

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.

“Yes. We are thinking of the same thing.”

“I’ll make more tomorrow afternoon. After I deliver the goods to Ruyi Restaurant, I’ll try selling them here.” Since she was going to come to town, she might as well stop by for about one hour. It would be a profit if she could sell more than a hundred bowls.

“I’ll help!” Xiao Qing immediately said.

“Me too!” Lin Xiaozhi said immediately.

Lin Xiaoyue laughed.

“No need. I can do it alone. I need you two at home.”

Xiao Qing paused.

He remembered that they had to sell the cold cakes in the village.

He didn’t say anything more.

Lin Xiaozhi glanced at Xiao Qing and did not insist.
