workers anywhere. What are you guys doing in the canteen Plotting and causing trouble behind my back""Get out of here! If you dare to show up in the cafeteria again, I'll break your legs!"Three peopl...Li Laotai fanned her granddaughter with a handkerchief, wiping the sweat from her brow. She said with concern, “It’s too early for winter flowers. We can arrange it again in the fall. It’s too hot in the summer to go out and run all day, what if you get heat stroke”

Jiayin smiled cheekily and feigned ignorance, opened the box, and offered snacks to her grandmother. "Grandma, the snacks from Jiulian Vegetarian Restaurant are too delicious. My snack shop isn't innovative enough; I'm afraid it can only follow in the footsteps of Jiulian Vegetarian Restaurant, eating the leftovers."

"When I get home, I'm going to think hard about a new dessert. Grandma can try it for me then, okay"

"Alright, Grandma, there's nothing else I can do about it. At least you can still eat, right" Grandma Li agreed immediately and was successfully led astray by her granddaughter.

Mingming was just worried about her granddaughter's flower shop, working hard and getting heatstroke. Now that she couldn't stop her granddaughter from talking, she added another task to ponder: coming up with new desserts...

Tao Hongying sighed, she had given up hope for her mother-in-law. The old woman looked at her granddaughter and acted as if she were a stranger!

Jia Yin picked a piece of white cake for her grandmother, then took out the deed from her pocket and handed it to her mother, "Mom, the courtyard is now under your name."

Tao Hongying was stunned and instinctively wanted to return the deed to her daughter, "You bought the courtyard, why didn't you put your name on it"

"Hee hee, I'm just a kid, what if someone cheats me I'll write it under Mama's name, Mama will keep an eye on it for me, no need to worry about losing it."

Jia Yin giggled, holding a piece of horseshoe pastry up to her mother's mouth.

Tao Hongying took a bite, it was really crispy and sweet.

Li Laotai knew her daughter-in-law well. She had a tough exterior but a soft heart. Afraid that she would hurt her granddaughter's feelings by saying the wrong thing even though she loved the child, Li Laotai tried to be careful.

So she quickly advised, "Just put it away for the child. Can you still covet her things When this yard is sold later, you can just give the deed to your child."

Tao Hongying was about to say something else when Li Laoer brought over a plate of grapes.

When it came to buying a courtyard and hiring a gardener, Li Lao'er was delighted, his face beaming with excitement. Jia Yin also chimed in from time to time, showing her agreement.

Speaking of building a greenhouse, Lao Er Li took out paper and pen again, and the two nephews huddled together to draw blueprints.

Seeing her son and niece like this, Li Laotai recalled how much older her grandsons were than her granddaughters and still played foolishly every day. Suddenly, she understood.

If you're ready, go out and gain some experience!

They can't be worse than their younger sisters in the future, can they

What are you talking about protecting your sister for

Li Jia's son may be mediocre, but he absolutely cannot become a wastrel who only knows how to eat, drink and play!

When the boys all came back for dinner that evening, they heard that their younger sister was going to open a flower shop. Everyone was excited and chattering away about how they were going to visit the new courtyard during their holiday.

As soon as they had finished their meal, grandma announced to them that she was going out on a journey of experience.

Jiarren and Lig'er could barely contain themselves, while Jiaxi and Ji'an were practically beside themselves with joy, so excited they almost jumped up to knock a hole in the roof.

They had long envied Jia Yi and Liu Yang for being able to sail south.

They also wanted to see the foreigners with yellow hair and blue eyes, and they wanted to see the endless sea. They even wanted to see fish as big as houses!

Unfortunately, no matter how many times I asked before, Grandma always refused. Unexpectedly, this time she agreed so easily!

Jia Ren and Li Ge'er were also moved, but they knew that academics were important, so they watched with envy on their faces without speaking.

Li Laotai patted these two sensible grandsons and said, "Jia'an and Jiaxi are not made for studying. They stay in the academy all day and don't make much progress, so I let them go out and see if there is a trade they are suited for."

"You guys should study hard first, the exam is coming up soon. Try your best to do well. When winter vacation comes, if you want to go out, just ask the academy for a few more days to make it two months. It'll be enough for you to take a trip to Quanzhou."

Jiarren and Ligouer were immediately excited and quickly stood up to pay their respects to grandma. Jiarren said, "Thank you, Grandma. We will definitely study hard this time."

Grandma Li beckoned her grandson to sit down, “Mr. Wen said that day, 'Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles.' Grandma doesn’t actually understand these grand principles, but Grandma knows, the more knowledge a boy has, the better.”

"From now on, you brothers will take turns going out to look after each other. It's good to have company. Everything else is fine, but the most important thing is to be safe. Remember, your life comes first, everything else doesn't matter, understand"

On one side, Jia Anjia and Mao Ge'er also hurried forward to pay their respects. All five brothers respectfully responded.

"Okay, Grandma, don't worry."

At the beginning, because my uncle studied abroad and disappeared, the family suffered for ten years. They knew this very well.

Grandma had made a great effort to agree to take them for a walk.

They definitely can't disappoint grandma and the family's intentions!

After dinner, the boys all went to the academy for evening classes.

Li Lao San and Zhao Yu Ru also came back, hearing that the young men were going to travel with the fleet to Quanzhou, they were also delighted.

Although what happened with the eldest brother, they are still afraid.

But you shouldn't stop eating just because you choked once.

Furthermore, the Li family is not what it used to be.

I wouldn't say that children going out would be absolutely taken care of, at least the fleet is our own, and it wouldn't be difficult to find a few more people to protect them.

And Jia Yin has already started making arrangements for this.

At night, when she went to sleep, she let Shui Ling and Shui Yun sleep with her on the kang. She carefully asked them if there were any boys aged fourteen or fifteen in Zhengjiazhuang who were skilled and nimble.

Or someone like an experienced uncle in his forties who often travels.

It has to be said, Zhengjiazhuang is truly magical, like a machine cat's pocket, with everything you could want.

Shuiyun and Shui Ling patted their chests, assuring him that the old man had some too, but the young one had even more.

Jia Yin calculated, on another day to discuss with grandma and the second uncle first, then let Ye Shan and Dong Mei go to Zhengjiazhuang.

As she thought this, exhausted from running around buying a yard during the day, she fell asleep quickly and naturally didn't see that Little Fox San had already betrayed them, sleeping happily between Shui Ling and Shui Yun...

The little beauty is so soft and cute, the little fox loves it so much.

As for the master… if he sleeps without riding it, and presses down on it until it's nearly suffocated, perhaps it should consider liking him a little more...

Three days flew by, and Jia Ren and Li Ge'er were finally ready for the exam.

This time, the academy places more importance on the examination for scholars.

The Dean and three gentlemen personally led the way, preparing seven carriages to transport thirty-five students into the city for the examination.

For safety reasons, the thirty-five examination baskets were all prepared together by the academy.

After the incident with Wang Sheng and Liu Kui, all the students learned their lesson. They dressed neatly and tidily, and no one wore wooden nameplates anymore.

When they arrived at the entrance of Gongyuan, the examination hall, they found that the other students also had empty waists.

Needless to say, everyone knows this.

From the headmaster to every student, Lu'an Academy felt shame. They redoubled their efforts in studying, determined to do well on the exams and bring honor to the academy!
