"Okay, no problem! I'll work overtime tonight to get all these tasks done, so you can bring them smoothly first thing tomorrow morning!" After saying this, he had a confident smile on his face.

Just then, Shen Lerong slowly walked over. Her gaze swept over the area and she saw that Su Yue was still carrying that chubby little mouse.

He frowned slightly and urged, "Oh dear, why are you still carrying this thing? Stop dawdling and go wash your hands. Everyone's waiting for you to eat together!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yueban quickly threw the chubby mouse in her hand to the ground and hurriedly ran towards the sink.

The poor little fat mouse was suddenly thrown onto the cold, hard ground and was momentarily stunned.

However, it quickly came to its senses, its two small front paws tightly clasped to its chest, and kept squeaking "squeak squeak squeak, squeak squeak..." at Su Yue's departing back.

"Hmph! This heartless owner, how could he treat me like this? He didn't even take me with him to eat, such an important thing! He's so unreliable!"

The chubby mouse complained as it turned and dashed towards its warm and comfortable mouse nest.

It thought to itself: No, I have to bring my precious army of mice with me, I need them to do some work later.

At the same time, Su Yue, who had just washed her hands, quickly walked to the dining table and sat down.

Before she could even settle into her seat, Dali rushed over like a gust of wind.

Without saying a word, he grabbed Su Yue's arm, his face beaming with smiles, his eyes narrowing into slits.

Su Yue gently reached out and softly ruffled Dali's newly grown, not-so-long hair, and said with a smile, "Dali, look, your hair in the front is getting a bit long. After we finish eating, I'll help you tie it up, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Dali raised her head, her clear, watery eyes looking at Su Yue. She nodded obediently and replied, "Okay, I'll listen to Yue."

Seeing how obedient and sensible Dali was, Su Yue couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.

She quickly reached out and picked up two steaming hot buns that Qiaoxiang had just brought up from the table.

She handed one of the buns to Dali and said softly, "Our Dali has been exhausted these past few days! Here, have a delicious steamed bun and nourish yourself."

Dali took the steamed bun, happily took a bite, and mumbled indistinctly, "Thank you, Yue... It's so delicious..."

However, at that moment, Su Yue seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, Dali, how's your literacy coming along lately?"

Upon hearing this question, Dali, who had been enjoying his meal with a cheerful expression on his face, was instantly stunned.

She slowly put down the steamed bun in her hand, her small lips slightly pursed, and a hint of unease and worry showed in her eyes.

After a while, she answered softly, "Ah Yue... I... I think those words are too hard to recognize... I can't remember many of them..."

After saying that, Dali lowered his head even further, as if he had committed some grave mistake.

During this time, Dali had been following Shen Lerong around the village in the suburbs, and had long forgotten about learning to read.

Su Yue didn't necessarily want Dali to recognize all the characters, but at least he should be able to recognize the characters he could use in daily life.

What if I get scammed by someone with bad intentions someday?

No, Dali needs to learn more characters.

"Perfect timing. There's been so much going on lately, so all of you should start learning to read! Le Rong, I'm leaving the task of teaching them to read to you."

"Okay!" Shen Lerong happily agreed.

Some people are happy, while others are not.

For example, the characters for "to learn to read" are Dali, Qiaoyun, Qiaoxiang, and Qiaoxia.

Sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves into the courtyard. After a simple meal, Su Yue picked up a plain-looking hat and put it on.

Then, we walked through the quiet backyard towards the Star-Picking Pavilion.

When she arrived at the Star-Picking Pavilion, she found it bustling with people.

They were all people who bought vegetables and fruits yesterday.

Without any hesitation, Su Yue stepped into the store and climbed the stairs, quickly reaching the second floor.

Unlike the shelves on the first floor that were filled with all kinds of goods, the second floor was unusually spacious, with several neatly arranged exquisite counters and long tables and chairs for entertaining guests.

There is also a separate room on the second floor, specifically for Su Yue to rest in.

Su Yue sat in a small room on the second floor, sipping tea and watching the people coming and going on the street below, secretly pondering what to sell on the second floor.

Just as she was lost in thought, she inadvertently walked to a window and looked down.

This was quite a sight; three figures were seen filing into a shop across the street.

Because of the distance, Su Yue couldn't see the faces of the people at first, but as the three people got closer, she realized that they were quite far away.

She suddenly felt that one of them looked very familiar—his figure and gait looked just like Old Man Luo!

And the two people following behind him were none other than his two apprentices.

Su Yue couldn't help but wonder: What were they doing at the shop across the street?

No, didn't we tell Old Man Luo to stay in bed for a few more days to rest? How did he end up here?

However, she did not rush downstairs to investigate, but stayed on the second floor to observe for a while.

But as time passed, the three people never came out of the store.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out downstairs, shattering the previously quiet atmosphere.

A woman shouted at the top of her lungs, "Shopkeeper, your dishes are absolutely delicious! My mother and wife both raved about them after trying them..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she was abruptly interrupted by another woman.

The woman shouted, "Oh dear! Shopkeeper, we'll take care of all the dishes in your shop! Hurry, my carriage is already waiting to be loaded at the door."

These words immediately provoked dissatisfaction from others. Then, another person struggled to push their way into the crowd.

Squeezing next to Manager Li, he said urgently, "What? Your household actually wants them all? That won't do! Manager, our household wants to buy all these vegetables too!"

"No, these dishes must belong to our household!" the woman retorted without backing down.

"Why should we? It should all be ours!" The people on this side naturally refused to back down.

In an instant, the scene became chaotic, with everyone arguing and refusing to give in.

The four little girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, stood to the side, completely helpless in the face of such a surging crowd, tears welling up in their eyes.

They secretly wondered: What if these people, in a fit of anger because they couldn't buy what they wanted, beat up our shopkeeper? Thinking of this, the girls turned pale with fright.
