Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Mo Hong’s Family Sells Daughter and Gains an Uncle (5)_1

"Mo Yan placed Little Fur Ball’s mouth under the nipple of the big yellow cow and said, ’Weren’t you the same when you were young? Little Fur Ball is just like a person. He needs to sleep a lot when he’s young to grow fast.’

Upon smelling the scent of milk, Little Fur Ball subconsciously opened its mouth and began to suck, its round and bright eyes slowly opening to reveal a very pretty, bright yellow color.

’I don’t know when Little Flower will come back. If I don’t send you back soon, your mother might not recognize you.’

Watching Little Fur Ball eat so contentedly, Mo Yan let out a helpless sigh.

Ever since Little Flower had ventured into the mountains, she hadn’t shown her face, and Mo Yan didn’t have the time to search for her in the mountains. She felt that critter was becoming wilder by the day.

’Speaking of which, Sister, Dad still hasn’t come back. Do you think something went wrong at Changshan Academy?’ Zhenzhen, holding a handful of green grass, her little face filled with concern, asked.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan also grew worried, ’It shouldn’t be, perhaps he’s just been held up by something.’

Yesterday morning, Lizhong drove Mo Qingze to Changshan Academy, but neither of them had returned yet, and she had no idea how things were going.

As she pondered, Xin Er hurried over, shouting loudly, ’Sister, Sister, Dad’s back!’

Mo Yan, hearing this, quickly carried Little Fur Ball to the front.

Zhenzhen also dropped the grass she was holding and ran after her.

’Dad, by the look on your face, did things go well at Changshan Academy?’ Mo Yan asked as she entered the hall and saw Mo Qingze’s happy expression. Clearly, it had gone well, and she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Mo Qingze, unable to hide his excited expression, nodded and smiled, ’Yes, it’s settled. In three days, Dad will go to Changshan Academy.’

With a firm answer, the three siblings, Mo Yan and her brother and sister, called out joyfully, praising their father’s capabilities.

After the joyous celebration, Mo Yan said again, ’Dad, our home is a bit far from Changshan Academy, and it would be too tiring to commute every day. We need to rent a room for you near the Academy.’

Mo Qingze shook his head, ’No need for that. The Academy provides food and lodgings, so I can stay there.’

Although it was possible to rent a house outside, the ones nearby were too expensive, and he had decided not to rent one.

Mo Yan disagreed, ’You should still rent one outside. It’s quieter living alone, and you can cook whatever you want. It would also be more convenient for Xin’er, Zhen’er, and me when we come to visit.’

In her previous life, she had lived in a dormitory as well. Not to mention the environment of the dormitory, the taste of the food in the cafeteria was a big issue, especially since the dishes hadn’t changed from enrollment to graduation.

Mo Qingze hesitated, ’The houses near the Academy are in high demand. They cost at least three taels of silver a month and are not as spacious as the small courtyard we used to live in.’

’That’s not a problem. We still have some savings at home, and there haven’t been any major expenses lately. Moreover, Mu’s Shop gives us a good amount of dividends every month, which is enough to cover a year’s rent.’

It was inevitable that housing near good schools would be expensive, but for the Mo Family, it was still affordable. Mo Yan would rather spend a bit more to ensure her father had a good place to eat and live and to keep his body in good health. After all, in this era, the imperial examinations required not just knowledge but also physical endurance.

Seeing his daughter’s insistence, Mo Qingze could only agree, ’The silver should still come from the household funds. The dividends you get from Mu’s Shop are your private savings. In the future, when you... ahem, keep it for yourself. Don’t squander it.’

Mo Yan frowned, fully aware of what her father’s hesitation implied. Was he already considering her marriage?

With this thought, her previously cheerful mood turned somewhat irritable.

After asking about a few other matters related to the Academy and finding out that Changshan Academy only had one break each month, lasting just two days, Mo Yan decided to visit her father every seven days. She would bring some fresh vegetables and Spirit Spring Water from the Space, ensuring he kept in good health.
