Chapter 621 Book Collection

After Xiao Yueyao bought the cocoa pods, she spent the past few days making them at home.

It happened to be the weekend when Su Ling and Su Yang also returned from the academy.

They knew that Xiao Yueyao was going to make something delicious, so they excitedly surrounded her, chattering excitedly.

It's completely different from what they experience in the academy.

In the academy, Su Ling and Su Yang acted like academic masters and didn't talk much.

I heard that their classmates like to talk a lot around them and ask them questions if they don’t understand.

Fortunately, the two little guys were not shy about their knowledge. When people asked questions, they answered them seriously if they could.

However, once he returned home and was with Xiao Yueyao, he was still like he was before in Liuhe Village, liking to talk and stick to Xiao Yueyao.

I especially like watching Xiao Yueyao cook delicious food.

This makes them feel very relaxed.

"Mom, what delicious food are you going to make?"

"Mom, can we eat these fruits?"

"It looks different from the previous fruits."

"This is what's going on in here."

Su Ling and Su Yang had never seen cocoa fruit before, so they were curious.

Xiao Yueyao found it a little funny to see how excited they were.

"Help me take out the fruit pulp first. Mom will make chocolate for you. It's a delicious snack."

Su Yang said happily: "Mom, can we make it right away? I want to bring some chocolate for my classmates to try when I go to college."

"The food that Mom cooks must be very delicious."

The two people are very confident in Xiao Yueyao's cooking skills.

In the past, they brought fresh food made by their mother, including French fries, cookies and other snacks, to school and shared them with their roommates and classmates. They all said they were delicious.

This made them all happy.

I just think their mother is the most powerful.

Xiao Yueyao smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. This also needs to ferment, and it will take many days to ferment."

"Now, let's get all the pulp out."

"Mom, let me help you."

"Mom, I'll help too."

Su Ling and Su Yang both actively helped.

When Xiao Yueyao cooks, she is also willing to let Su Ling and Su Yang participate.

She doesn't think they should read more when they get home.

She thinks studying should be a combination of work and rest.

Just work hard in college, and relax and rest when you get home.

In this way, the mother and her two children prepared cocoa nuts.

Get the pulp out of each cocoa fruit.

Xiao Yueyao got a lot of cocoa beans and planned to make them all into chocolate at once.

"There are so many, you can't finish them. I'll ask others to come and help."

All the people Xiao Yueyao brought with her were assigned to be managers.

On weekdays, I have to manage many stores, conduct inspections, check accounts, and be busy with a lot of things.

So Su Xueyi rearranged some people to work in the mansion.

Xiao Yueyao took Su Ling and Su Yang into the house to get a basket of cocoa beans.

Others were doing this in another room.

Xiao Yueyao also wanted to talk to her two sons and ask about their life at the academy.

"How's your brother Wen Shuran doing lately? Is he getting used to the academy?"

Su Ling nodded and said, "Yeah, Brother Shu Ran said this academy is good."

Su Yang added: "Brother Shuran's favorite thing is to read books in the library."

"But Master Wu said that if you want to study better, you must be healthy. You can't just study without exercising, so he would take us running every day."

"On weekends, Master Wu doesn't care, but Brother Shu Ran will get up every morning to run."

"We feel that Brother Shuran's health has improved."

"Originally, we listened to mom and invited my brother to come over to play, but Shu Ran said he wanted to read in the library."

Xiao Yueyao listened and nodded in her heart.

Wen Shuran actually likes reading.

Recently, Su Xueyi collected some more books and put them in the library.

The printing workshop also printed some books and placed them in the library.

My parents also got some books from the capital and mailed them over.

She asked a printing workshop to print them, mailed some to the capital, and placed the rest in the library for everyone to read.

Nowadays, many readers from other places come here to read books in the Wende Academy Library.

However, the college library is currently only open to college students and not to the public.

Of course, she heard that the papermaking and printing workshops in the capital had also grown in scale.

Paper in the capital is also much cheaper.

She also heard from her mother that they were planning to build a large library behind the outer city commercial street.

It is convenient for readers to read books.

Because there are two large academies there, one is Lulin Academy and the other is Yunting Academy.

Look at what my mother wrote in the letter.

It is said that Lulin Academy and Yunting Academy are now more famous than the academies next to the Imperial College in the inner city.

Not to mention that everyone now knows the relationship between the dean of Lulin Academy and the Xiao family.

The high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital are all shrewd people. They know the complicated relationships in the capital better than anyone else.

Probably since her parents came to Beijing to restore their status, everyone knew about the relatives related to the Xiao family and her mother.

Even Shangguan Kang had recently written to her, saying that many people were racking their brains to send people to study in their academy.

Some even try to use connections.

His father had no choice but to raise the admission threshold.

The entrance examinations have become stricter.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yueyao couldn't help but smile.

"Mom, I see a lot of scholars standing at the gate of our academy, all wanting to study here."

"Yeah, the way they look at me is a bit..."

Su Yang couldn't describe it, but he felt a little soft-hearted when he saw them and wanted to help them go to the academy to study.

Xiao Yueyao said, "Next semester, my parents will think carefully about whether to expand the number of students."

I didn’t expect that in such a short period of time, so many people knew about Wende Academy.

She guessed it had something to do with the library.

Thanks to her and Xue Yi's efforts, the library of Wende Academy has collected an extremely rich collection of books.

In this era, books are the most important things.

Many books are passed down through family traditions.

Xiao Yueyao thought that if there were really a lot of students coming to the academy in the future, perhaps a few more colleges could be built.

For example, the East Campus and North Campus.

Of course, there is still open space behind the academy, so the academy can be expanded and more teaching buildings can be built.
