The old man let them pass. When they approached the teaching area, they heard the bright sound of children reading in the classroom.

It turned out that some children were playing and others were learning.

They looked around the academy and were quickly called into the office by an amiable teacher.

In the huge space, there were several teachers sitting. They were wearing convenient long robes and glasses like the guard. They were elegant and graceful.

Wang Fu’s family had a natural reverence for the educated people. They immediately felt nervous and did not know where to look.

Mr. Liu asked about Ming’er’s age. Ming’er mustered his courage and said, “Sir, I’m seven years old.”

Ming’er was seven years old, but he looked to be only five or six years old. It was obvious that he had not eaten enough for a long time and his development was slow.

Mr. Liu continued to ask, “Have you studied before?”

Ming’er shook his head. “No.”

Children who had not studied before had to enter the foundation class to learn. If they learned quickly, they would be transferred according to their progress.

Mr. Liu looked at the apprehensive Wang Fu and Su Susu and said, “Our Qinghe Elementary School has a total of two core classes and six compulsory classes. The lessons will be one and a half hours in the morning and one and a half hours in the afternoon. They will eat and rest at the academy at noon.”

“It’s not the time for us to enroll students now. The children can only enter the school in the autumn. Come and sign up in the autumn. Remember to bring your household register the next time you come.”

“Also, our academy has two semesters a year, one in spring and one in autumn. There’s no need for tuition fees, but the book fees and lunch fees have to be paid separately. Each semester is about one tael of silver.”

One taels of silver for three months per semester was too cheap.

In the Central Plains, a book already cost one taels of silver.

Thinking of how poor their family was, Ming’er immediately said, “I’m not going to school anymore.”

Mr. Liu said, “If your family has financial difficulties, you can register and we will give you a bursary allowance.”

No matter how poor they were, the children should not be deprived. Besides, it was not like they could not earn money, so why should they receive bursary allowance?

Wang Fu shook his heads and said, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Sir. Do we have to pay the money now?”

Ming’er tugged at Wang Fu’s sleeves anxiously. Su Susu comforted him. “Father and Mother have money. Ming’er, go to school and listen to the teachers in the future, understand?”

Ming’er’s heart ached and he was touched. He nodded with a choked voice. “I definitely will!”

Mr. Liu smiled and said, “You can pay the fees when school starts in the autumn.”

Wang Fu immediately heaved a sigh of relief. They only had more than two taels of silver to begin with, so they felt flustered if they had to spend one tael of silver in one go.

There was still more than a month until autumn. If he and Su Susu could have a good job, they would be able to earn enough in a month.

After signing up, Ming’er’s smile never stopped. He kept saying, “I’m going to school soon!”

Wang Fu and Su Susu looked at each other with smiles and said, “I think these teachers are very reliable. They don’t look down on us at all.”

Wang Fu nodded. “Yes, this place is really great!” They said sincerely like the locals, “Thank you, Great Empress!”

Su Susu and Ming’er also said, “Thank you, Great Empress!”

“Long live the Great Empress!”

The street was at the entrance of the elementary school. The street was filled with three-story buildings that specialized in selling the goods sold by the factories.

They had yet to buy cloth. They still had to make a school bag for Ming’er. If white cloth was not enough, they had to choose a different color.

As they walked along the street, they saw exquisitely decorated hotels, pink and tender cake shops, spectacle shops, snack shops, seafood products shops, bicycle shops, stationery shops, clothing shops, beauty shops, simple and quiet bookstores, pharmacy, toy shops, glass shops, baby supplies shops, meat shops, and all kinds of gourmet shops… The style of every shop was so unique and eye-catching that it left a deep impression.

Su Susu and Wang Fu walked around and almost couldn’t hold back the temptation to spend money several times.

Fortunately, the small amount of silver in their arms pulled them back to their senses.

Wang Fu looked at his wife and children’s eager gazes and swore to earn money well so that they could live a life where they could spend money as they pleased.

After walking around, they finally saw a shop selling cloth.

Su Susu looked at all the cloth and her gaze landed on the same denim fabric as the one in their house. “How much is this for a foot of cloth?”

The shop assistant was a neat auntie. “It’s 20 copper coins for a foot. It’s the most unique canvas in our southern frontier. It’s sturdy and resistant to wear and tear, and it is windproof. How many feet do you want, young madam?”

20 coins for a foot was really not expensive. Su Susu suddenly thought that if these cloth were transported to the Central Plains, it would definitely be very expensive. Then the boss would definitely be able to earn a lot of money.

However, she revealed a trace of pity. The journey to the southern frontier was too difficult, especially the desert. If there was no water and she died there, there was no need to mention earning money.

Su Susu said, “Give me five feet.” Then she lowered her voice and asked, “What fabric is the cheapest? I want to make some period ribbons.”

The auntie quickly found her a bolt of white cloth that was good at absorbing water. “This one is not bad, but it’s too troublesome for you to use a period ribbon. You have to wash the bedsheets from time to time. It’s fine in the summer, but your fingers will freeze off in the winter. There’s a shop next door that sells sanitary pads. You can take a look. If you think it’s not suitable, you can come back and buy my fabric.”

This was the first time Su Susu had met a shop assistant who recommended her to buy something from another shop. She looked at her gratefully, paid for the denim, and went next door.

The renovation next door made it seem as though she had entered the clouds. The surroundings were white and soft. Even the decorations on the head were hung with beautiful cloud lamps.

It gave off a very clean feeling.

Su Susu asked in a low voice, “What is a sanitary pad?”

A young shop assistant with a sweet smile pointed at the paper bag beside her and said, “This is it. Do you want to use it at night or for day?”

Su Susu was dumbfounded. “What’s for day use? What’s for night use?”

She didn’t even know how to use it.

The young shop assistant took out two bamboo fiber sanitary pads and said, “One is used at night and the other is for day. The amount of water absorption is different. It has to be thinner for daily use so that it’s easier to change. If it’s not changed for a long time, it’s not good for the body, especially the plant ash. If it’s infected by bacteria, it will even cause a very serious gynecological illness.”

The older generation had all used plant ash to survive. How could they fall sick because of it?

Su Susu suspected that the shop assistant was lying to her to sell products, but when she saw the shop assistant show her how to use the sanitary pads, she was stunned. “You still have to wear such garment!?”

This was too much!

Only a vixen would wear such a small piece of cloth!

The shop assistant said, “Yes, yes. Underwear can effectively block bacteria and is healthier for women. Even if your period doesn’t come, it’s recommended to wear undergarments.”

“Our Great Empress wears them too! If you wear them, it’ll be the same model as the Great Empress!”

“We are having an event now.. If you buy six packs of sanitary pads, we will give away two pairs of underwear and a pack of toilet paper!”
