Hua Qingcheng looked in the direction her mother pointed, and sure enough, there was a basket full of books. She flipped through it and found, besides children's books, many books on scientific research, and even local county chronicles, books introducing the customs and folkways of Laifeng State.
In this era, being able to read was an absolute luxury. The original owner, thanks to her mother's talent and her own considerable talent, had a decent academic record at first, but she later strayed from the path of learning.

"As the saying goes, 'the handwriting reflects the character of the writer.' Go back and practice your handwriting every day, and read more books when you have time."
In the end, Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige declined the two elders' invitation and returned to the Hua family's old house at the end of the village with a basket of books before noon.
