On August 16th in the morning, everyone sat together under the osmanthus tree at the stone table to drink congee and eat mooncakes. Mai Duo Duo took out a bag of silver from his bosom and placed it on the table.

  "Dad, mom, this time selling mooncakes, apart from Brother Zhi Jie's filling costs, we made a profit of over 80 taels. Plus the 10 taels you gave me earlier, that makes it over 90 taels in total."

  "Wow, our family is finally rich!" Mai Di's eyes shone brightly as he stared at the money bag.

  "Father, mother, send two younger brothers to school."

  "What? Going to school?" shouted Mai Dalang and Liu Guihua in unison.

  Wheat Field and Wheat Land looked at Ma Duo Duo with shining eyes.

  "Father, mother, I don't expect them to necessarily pass the imperial examination or become a scholar-official. I just hope they can recognize characters and do arithmetic. But if they can pass, that would be the best!"

  Mai Di put down the bowl and walked to Liu Guihua's side, holding her arm and said: "Mother, I want to go to school, I want to take the imperial examination, and in the future, let you be an official old lady."

  But Mai Tian looked at Mai Dalang lightly and said, "Dad, I want to learn characters, study arithmetic, and become a shopkeeper in the future. I don't want to follow you to work in the fields every day. Last time I went to the county town with Dusao, I saw that the shopkeepers were very impressive."

  McDonald looked at Liu Guihua, wanting to speak but hesitating. How could he not want to send these two sons to school?

  But now our home is just a few thatched cottages that will collapse in the wind. There are only four mu of dry land and three mu of paddy fields.

  When encountering droughts or floods, family members are still hungry.

  Now that he has made some money from making mooncakes, he really wants to use it to renovate the house and buy a few acres of good land. Land is the root of our ordinary people! Mai Dalang became more and more entangled as he thought about it.

  Liu Guihua knew Mai Dalang's thoughts, so she said to Mai Duoduo: "Duoduo, your parents dream of their children being able to read and write and make a good living, but you know, for two people to attend school, it costs at least 50 taels of silver per year. For a family like ours, it's really..."

  "Mother, you and Father can rest assured. I earned eighty taels today, and tomorrow I'll earn eight hundred taels. By then, we'll build a big tile-roofed house and buy lots and lots of land."

  "Oh yeah, mom, our homemade brown sugar candies are so sweet that the dog next door wants me to sneak some back for him every day."

  "That's right! The wasteland and foot of the mountain are full of sweet grass, we can also make brown sugar pieces to sell." Mai Dalang said happily.

  "Alright son, from now on your mother and I will listen to you. Let's send your brothers to school."

  Mai Duoduo took his two brothers to the town school to pay respects to their teacher, gave him a bundle of incense sticks as a gift, and bought each of them a set of moderate-quality stationery.

  He even went to a tailor's shop and bought two robes for each of them.

  When I returned to the school gate, I saw several little kids standing in a row at the entrance: "One look and you can tell they're looking for trouble."
