She looked at Fan Jin, who gave her a look that said, "I'll do whatever you say."
In the time it takes to eat a meal, the daily schedule of five children was finalized, and their future lives were changed.
Fate is changing silently at this moment.

After lunch, people started coming to deliver water chestnuts one after another.
Zhang Muniu was the first to arrive. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly handed over the peeled, round, and clean water chestnuts, stammering, "Uncle Fan, Aunt Fan, please weigh them."
Then, remembering her mother's instructions, she put down the basket on her back, took out a cloth bag, and respectfully handed it over, thanking them with a bright smile: "Here's your cloth bag back, thank you."
Shui Qing was amused. Seeing him carrying a bamboo basket as he brought the things, she asked with a smile, "Where are you going?"
Fan Jin weighed the items on the side—he had bought the scale from the city that morning, and he would need it frequently in the future; he couldn't keep borrowing it from the old village chief.
This is also part of our possessions. By gradually acquiring everything, we won't need to ask for help when we need it.
Zhang Muniu replied in a simple and honest manner: "My eldest and second brothers wouldn't let me go into the water. My mother and sister peeled them quickly, so I was responsible for transporting the chicken rice cakes from the pond and lakeside back home."
"Have you eaten yet?" Shui Qing asked casually during their conversation.
Zhang Mu Niu suddenly replied very solemnly, "I ate it, it was delicious!"
Even if it's just stir-fried cabbage, the rice is fragrant, white, and plump and round, and it tastes delicious even without any side dishes!
My sister said that my second aunt gave it to me secretly, and that I shouldn't let anyone else know. He knew he shouldn't say it, but he remembered it in his heart.
Shuiqing then remembered that the rice she gave was for Mu Niu and the others. It seemed that Aunt Zhang had cooked rice, which was good.
"Okay, don't overwork yourself."
Zhang Muniu shook his head, "Not tired at all! Everyone in the village is even more enthusiastic now than during the harvest season."
He wasn't afraid of being tired, but he was afraid of going hungry, and even more afraid of being tired and hungry at the same time.
"Seventeen catties, forty-two and a half catties of rice, Mu Niu, come and check the scale," Fan Jin called out, beckoning.
"No need, no need, we trust Uncle Fan," Mu Niu said with a simple smile.
He took the rice, put it in his basket, and ran off in a flash.
Several more families came to deliver water chestnuts.
Others were annoyed that they had wasted a lot of time watching the excitement in the morning.
There will be a market in Niutou Town the day after tomorrow. The rice that can be exchanged can be used to trade for coarse salt and dark flour at the market. Everyone is wishing the day could last longer.
There are more people before dinner.
As Shui Qing watched her balance steadily increase, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn upwards.
It's a good way to make money.
Following this method of making money, opening even the smallest locker isn't impossible... Hold on, that's no small amount of money!
How can you think about running when you haven't even learned to walk yet?
"Shuiqing, I'd like to borrow some money from you," Fan Jin said softly as he entered the room.
Shui Qing raised an eyebrow in confusion.
She doesn't restrict Fan Jin from taking money, but he's always been very frugal with himself. What's the point of him asking for money so readily?
Fan Jin didn't let her guess for long before quickly explaining, "I just went to the back mountain and found a few flat stone slabs so the children can dip them in water and write. We don't need to buy paper and ink yet, but we definitely need to buy calligraphy brushes."
Shuiqing has always been willing to invest in her studies.
He then moved the wooden bed aside, pried open a stone in the corner under the bed, took out a small wooden box inside, brushed off the dirt, and took out a small piece of silver from a small cloth bag.
Phew, getting money is so hard!
