We've been busy selling for almost a month now. Although it's been hectic, everyone is very enthusiastic and in a great mood.

Yang Wanwan discovered that Pan the Mute was quite good at math; he could calculate the accounts clearly while making the transaction.

He also kept daily accounts, keeping them crystal clear, and his beautiful handwriting amazed Yang Wanwan.

Who said Pan the Mute is stupid?

Very clever!

Moreover, Pan the Mute was clever in more ways than just this. After watching Yang Wanwan knead and make the dough, he volunteered to do it himself on the third try.

It must be said that Pan the Mute made noodles very successfully the first time, and after two or three times, he made them even better than Yang Wanwan.

With Pan the mute as their helper, they were able to make noodles much faster.

On August 25th, Yang Wanwan packed up her stall and stopped selling.

School is about to start.

After calculating their accounts, they found that after deducting the four hundred yuan and a few dozen yuan in change they brought with them when they first arrived, they actually had 1,900 yuan in their hands!

That means I made 1,900!

If it weren't for the torrential rains that affected business for several days, making over two thousand yuan wouldn't have been a problem at all.

On the last day, Yang Wanwan planned to take them to the wholesale market to buy some small items to sell, and also to browse the book wholesale market to see if there were any reference books and classics available for purchase.

To learn well, a broad perspective is essential.

They packed two or three hundred yuan, brought a few homemade pancakes, and filled several bottles with hot water. The three of them took a bus to their destination.

The variety of goods and the dazzling array of products left Er Ye and Pan Yaba overwhelmed.

Upon arriving at the book and stationery market, both of them were delighted and immediately began browsing the books.

Yang Wanwan herself didn't have anything she wanted to read. During her years as a wandering soul, she had read enough books—she couldn't turn the pages herself, but she could read along with others.

So she told the two of them not to wander off and went to buy the goods by herself.

At that time, Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities were incredibly popular, and stickers featuring them were sold all over the country. Students went on a buying spree, sticking these stickers on their textbooks and notebooks, with prices ranging from a few cents to several dollars per sticker. In addition, notebooks, drawing sheets, and calendars printed with images of Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities were all selling extremely well.

Yang Wanwan wholesales stickers and soft paper scraps, all printed with images of popular celebrities.

She also wanted to buy some junior high school reference books wholesale, but the books were very heavy and not so easy to sell; the profit was not as good as sticky notes, so she gave up on the idea after weighing the options. She bought some reference books and classic works for Er Ye, Shang Tao, and Pan Yaba to take with them.

It was two hours later when she went back to find Er Ye and Pan Yaba.

Er Ye was reading a book, and Pan the Mute was also reading a book.

Yang Wanwan glanced at the book he was holding casually, and then paused for a moment—first-year high school math?

Pan the mute watched intently, a slight smile playing on his lips.

They were completely mesmerized!

Yang Wanwan was taken aback. She walked over and looked closely. Sure enough, it was first-year high school math.

Pan the Mute, isn't he a fifth-grade elementary school student?

Pan the Mute didn't notice Yang Wanwan and remained engrossed in his book.

Yang Wanwan did not disturb him, and waited while reading her book.

More than an hour later, as evening approached, Pan the Mute reluctantly put down the book, looking thoughtful.

Yang Wanwan walked over and asked, "Yiming, can you understand a first-year high school math textbook?"

Pan, the mute, was stunned for a moment before snapping out of his reverie. He nodded, looking very pleased. "Yes! I've already taught myself junior high school math, and I've also taught myself a part of high school math."

"...Where did you get this book?"

"Once when I was selling garbage, I saw books at the garbage station, so I went to read them. The people there didn't chase me away, so I read a lot of them."

When did it start?

Pan the Mute thought for a moment, "Last year, I guess."

Yang Wanwan gasped in astonishment. This guy was definitely a top student!

"Yiming, you have a great ability to learn on your own. You can take all the books in my house and read them. If you can understand them, you can skip a grade."

"Skip a grade?"

“If you go back, you will be in sixth grade. You can skip directly to the second or third year of junior high school after graduating from elementary school.”

Pan the mute's eyes lit up, "Great!"

"Sister, sister..." Er Ye stood not far away, called Yang Wanwan twice, and stared wide-eyed in surprise, "Sister, Pan Yiming, he, he said so much!"

The three of them spent almost a month together. Pan, the mute, didn't talk much, and when he did, it was only in short sentences.

For example: "Eighteen yuan and fifty cents." "Washing clothes." "It's going to rain." and so on.

He only says this kind of thing a few times a day.

This is the first time I've spoken so fluently as I am now.

Yang Wanwan smiled calmly, "With Yiming's intelligence, what can't he do?"

Pan the mute's pretty face flushed red, her eyes sparkling with a light called hope.

He looks very different from the silent boy who used to come to my house for dinner.

Although it was only a little over a month.

Yang Wanwan: "Take another look, and we'll buy any books you need. Yiming, knowledge can change your destiny."

Can knowledge change one's destiny?

Pan the mute's eyes shone even brighter.

Pan, the mute, nodded, turned around, and picked out a book. His movements were decisive and efficient.

As Yang Wanwan watched his retreating figure, she suddenly realized that in just one month, the originally thin boy had become much stronger and seemed to have grown taller.

Yang Wanwan was happy to help such an ambitious child.

Before long, everyone returned home with their bags full.
