“Also, the classroom is open until midnight after class is over.”
“There are plenty of candles in the school, so everyone will self-study there every day. The master would go there occasionally. If you have any questions, you can ask him.”
“This is a special privilege only for Class 3A.”
Li Huaiyu looked at Xiao Qing.
“Even our classmates in town chose to live in the academy. Xiao Qing, I advise you to reconsider.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s expression froze.
It was like the 21st century, preparing for the high school entrance examination.
Xiao Qing was surprised.
He did not expect Qingyun Academy to help the students so much.
“Then, why don’t you stay in the academy. Anyway, your uncle and I often come to town. If you need anything, you can go to the shop and tell Aunt Wang. She can pass us a message.”
Xiao Qing nodded.
“Alright,” he agreed.
He couldn’t do anything for his family now. All he could do was study hard.
When he passed the examination next year, he would be able to repay his aunt and grandmother.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up. She chatted with Li Huaiyu for a while before taking Xiao Qing to the registration office to register.
After paying the money and collecting the clothes, Li Huaiyu led Xiao Qing to the dormitory.
Since Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t go in, she went to Liu Shi’s Eatery to wait.
Not long after, Xiao Qing and Li Huaiyu came out.
Knowing that Xiao Qing was satisfied with the accommodation, she didn’t ask further.
Then, she asked Li Huaiyu to lead the way and bring Xiao Qing to buy some supplies like brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Lin Xiaoyue didn’t want Xiao Qing to lack anything, so she bought a lot of things, and they were all of good quality.
Xiao Qing kept asking his aunt to take it easy.
Li Huaiyu laughed and teased Xiao Qing, saying that he envied Xiao Qing for having a good aunt.
As the group chatted, they returned to Liu’s Shi’s Eatery.
Since Xiao Qing had settled in the academy, he wouldn’t go back today.
Lin Xiaoyue saw that it was getting late, so she brought the two children and Li Huaiyu to the Qin Restaurant for dinner.
After that, he gave Xiao Qing 2 taels of silver and sent him back to the academy.
Xiao Qing didn’t want to take it at first, saying that he didn’t need so much.
However, Lin Xiaoyue insisted, and Li Huaiyu said that his monthly expenses were two taels of silver, so Xiao Qing accepted it.
Of course, 2 taels of silver was not just for food and drinks. It also included money for pen, ink, and paper.
The students of Class 3A had to work hard, so they needed a lot of supplies.
Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Xiaozhi stood at the entrance of the academy and watched Xiao Qing and Li Huaiyu enter.
The siblings only left after their shadows disappeared.
Lin Xiaoyue went to Liu Shi’s Eatery to pick up some things before going home.
In the Liu family’s residence, Liu Shi had already eaten and was helping out in the kitchen.
Hearing her son calling her, Liu Shi guessed that they had returned. She quickly went to the courtyard to take a look.
Seeing that it was indeed the siblings, she smiled.
“You’re back!” She immediately came forward.
Realizing that one person was missing, she asked, “where’s Qing’er?”
“Qing’er is staying in the academy. He won’t be back!” Before Lin Xiaoyue could reply, Lin Xiaozhi rushed into Liu Shi’s arms.
Seeing Liu Shi looking at her, Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.
“The master said that he has potential, so he assigned him to Class 3A. The students in that class have a lot of homework. He said he has more time to study and consult the teachers if he stays there,” Lin Xiaoyue explained.
Liu Shi’s eyes lit up.
Before she could say anything, Lin Xiaoyue added, “and Zhi’er also has potential, so he will be in Class A!”
Liu Shi was overjoyed.
She lowered her head and saw her son looking at her with a proud expression.
“Good, good! Then you and Qing’er have to study hard in the future!” Liu Shi patted her son’s shoulder as she spoke.
Lin Xiaozhi quickly nodded.
“Yes, mom!” There was a determined look on his childish face.
When the people in the kitchen heard this, Aunt Jiang and Jiang Juhua ran out to congratulate them.
Wang Erya, Jiang Lamei, and Jiang Xiaohua also came to congratulate him.
“They’re all in Class A. That’s amazing. 1 heard that you can’t even get in with money!” Aunt Jiang said..
