After selecting supplementary teaching books and novels, Ding Miaomiao prepared to say goodbye and go home.

"Dad, I'm fine now. I'm going home first. Please drink less!"

"Okay, I'll just have a drink. You drive slowly." Old Ding said quickly. He didn't dare drink freely with his daughter here.

"Brother, please go and see Sister Miaomiao off." Du Chen said at this time.

"No, no, my home is not far from here." Ding Miaomiao quickly declined.

"That's right, it's still daylight, no need to send me off." Du Bin said bluntly.

Ding Miaomiao was also choked up beside him. What a straight man. Although Ding Miaomiao didn't have any thoughts, what's wrong with sending a girl home? Did it make you feel wronged?

Du Chen looked at his brother speechlessly and said helplessly, "You didn't understand what Uncle Ding meant. Uncle Ding didn't go home and came here directly without telling Auntie. You should go and say hello to Auntie and tell her that Uncle Ding is having dinner and drinks with us. I guess he will be back a little late."

"Ding Miaomiao will tell her aunt when she gets home, right?" Du Bin still didn't quite understand.

"This is etiquette...Okay, stop asking questions. Just go if I tell you to." Du Chen interrupted Du Bin who was about to speak and decided the matter.

Ding Miaomiao was laughing as she watched from the side, while her brother Du Bin was scolded by his younger brother.

"Chenchen, how much do these books cost? I'll give them to you now."

"No need, Sister Miaomiao. You can use the supplementary textbooks. When you finish reading Liu Yong's book, just ask my brother to bring it back. If you want to read something else, I'll find it for you."

"That's right, my daughter. Auntie has given you the book. You should keep an eye on Du Bin at school. Tell me if anything happens." Du Chen's mother also came over at this time. After hearing the conversation between the few people, she directly agreed with Du Chen's decision.

In the end, Ding Miaomiao was unable to convince the mother and son. As for her father, he was drinking and singing, and didn't notice this at all.

On the way home, Ding Miaomiao kept asking Du Bin about Du Chen. She was full of curiosity and doubts about this little boy.

Du Bin also took the opportunity to complain about how his younger brother had suppressed his IQ since he was a child, and that his younger brother had always been the child of other people's families... Ding Miaomiao found it very interesting and giggled all the way.

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Du Bin, a classmate of Ding Miaomiao. Uncle Ding is drinking in my store. I came over to say hello to you." Du Bin looked at Ding Miaomiao's mother and felt that she looked familiar.

"Thank you, Du Bin. You haven't eaten yet, right? Come have something to eat at Auntie's house."

"Thank you, Auntie. No, I have to go home to do my homework. I won't disturb you." Du Bin quickly refused. He remembered that Ding Miaomiao's mother seemed to be a teacher in their school. Although she didn't teach him, Du Bin still felt scared to stay with the teacher.

"Okay, studying is important, so auntie won't keep you here. Come to my house next time." Ding Miaomiao's mother was polite.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. Goodbye." Du Bin quickly said hello and left.

"Miaomiao, why did you come back with him?" After closing the door and entering the house, Ding Miaomiao's mother asked Ding Miaomiao.

"I went to Du Bin's house to buy teaching supplementary books. It was a good thing that I ran into my father drinking there. After buying the books, Du Bin came over with me to say hello to you." Ding Miaomiao said to her mother while holding one hand.

"Hurry up and eat, and then go back to your room to study." Ding Miaomiao's mother reminded her again.

When Du Bin returned to the shop, the others were enjoying a hearty drink, while Du Bin was starving. The shop was mostly empty now, but Du Chen and his mother weren't ready to go home. Du Chen and Du Bin were studying and doing their homework, while Du Chen's mother watched with a novel in her arms, clearly waiting for them to leave.

The drinking party lasted from around six in the evening until almost ten. Lao Ding was sent home by Xiao Liu, while Lao Zhang and Lao Zhou went together, and Du Chen and his family of four came together.

After returning home, they simply washed up and went to bed quickly. Comrade Lao Du was already snoring in bed. They all drank a lot that night.

As time went by, Du Chen's family store business was getting better and better. They were very busy during school time every day, but Du Chen's mother had a happy smile on her face every day, and it was obvious that she had a good income.

It was not until Friday that Comrade Lao Du finally finished the door sign. He asked Lao Zhou for help. The two of them worked for an entire afternoon to install the door. Although it was very simple, with black paint on the wooden boards and white words, it looked very grand.

"Dad, the name Chuguang Stationery Store is too ugly." Du Chen complained while looking at the sign.

"You know what? The rising sun has such a good meaning!"

"That should be called Chuyang Stationery Store." Du Chen continued to complain.

"Well, I think you're itching for a beating after not beating you up for a while!" Comrade Lao Du was speechless and directly threatened with force.

"As long as you are happy!" Du Chen was speechless.

At dinner that evening, Du Chen's mother mentioned that she was going to the city to stock up on more supplies on Saturday, primarily for supplementary textbooks and novels. The book rental business had been booming lately, and many of Du Bin's classmates had seen Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao's supplementary textbooks and were buying them. The income from this business was much higher than the stationery and snacks.

"Mom, what are you going to do at the store in the city tomorrow? I can't take care of it by myself."

"Let's close the shop tomorrow. Come with us to the city."

"Let's go on Sunday. It's not good to close the store right after opening. My brother and I will run the store on Sunday." Du Chen was reluctant to close the store on Saturday. After all, there would be some junior high school students coming tomorrow.

"What about buying books? Your mother and I don't know what books to buy." Comrade Lao Du asked.
