Although she eats and dresses very simply, there is no danger of freezing or starving, and then there is Mrs. Tian who has the Tian family's bottomless pit, Xia Zhi wants to make money and get rich, but she doesn't have immediate plans to implement it. That has to wait until the situation at home changes, and she has a better understanding of her surroundings.

  However, earning some pocket money, especially when Tian's family is not at home, is feasible.

  A few days later, the temple fair was the best opportunity. Xia Zhi thought about it for a moment and made up his mind. So, on the afternoon of the next day, Xia Zhi put more thoughts and energy into serving the flowers in the courtyard and under the slope.

  At noon that day, when she saw Xiaoshu picking cherries in the main room, she rushed out to stop him.

  "Sister, these cherries are all red and ripe now. Don't believe me? Try one, they're sweet and delicious." Xiaoshu held out a handful of fresh cherries in front of Xiatian's face.

  Xia Zhi knew of course that the cherries were ripe and could be eaten. But for these cherries, she had plans.

  "Little tree, don't eat the cherries yet," Xia Zhi told his brother. "In two days, I'll go to Linshui Town with Uncle, and plan to pick a basket to sell. After exchanging for money, we can buy paper, pens, ink... We can't always let Grandpa spend money, use Uncle's instead."

  "Ah......" Xia Shu turned his face away, gazing longingly at a cherry blossom tree, clearly reluctant to leave.

  Xia Zhi could only continue to persuade him: "If you can sell the excess money, I'll buy some delicious food back for you. You eat cherries every year, can't you change to something else? Besides, I didn't plan to sell them all. After this freshness is over, you can eat as many ripe cherries as you want."

  She had inquired about it. There were very few cherry trees around the house, so cherries became a rare commodity, and even at the Linshui Town Fair, they didn't sell many. The goods were scarce, so they could be sold for a good price. She also didn't cheat Xiao Shu, the money from selling cherries was not only enough to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but also some fresh goods that their family didn't have to improve their living conditions.

  She said so, and Xia Shu was convinced. He also wanted to follow Xia Zhi to the fair together.

  Summer solstice didn't want to bring him, but there was no way to bring him. "I asked Grandpa, and the car only had our grandpa, I also have Uncle's seat. Little Shu, next time we go to the market, sister will take you again."

  Xia Shu pouted, but had no choice, and only asked Xia Zhi: "Sister, you have to keep your promise, bring me something to eat when you come back."

  "That's for sure." Xia Zhi replied to Xia Shu. After convincing Xia Shu to help her watch the cherries, Xia Zhi went to the backyard to find Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, and she told them about selling the cherries.

  "That cherry is quite rare. You siblings keep it for yourselves to eat, if you want to buy something else, I'll pay for it." Old Man Xia said.

  The eldest son teaches in the prefectural city, and his wife goes to work. The couple took all the money and things that could be exchanged for money from home to the Tian family. By summer, several children had no money on hand.

  Mr. and Mrs. Xia had already discussed it, if the children have any expenses during this period, they will cover them. Even if other sons and daughters-in-law want to gossip, there's nothing they can do about it.

  The son is not promising, the daughter-in-law is no good, but the grandsons and granddaughters are all right.

  "This year the cherries are bearing a lot, let's sell some while they're fresh and leave the rest for everyone to eat." Xia Zhi explained to Old Man Xia without intending to accept the compensation.

  Old Man Xia thought for a moment and didn't persuade Xia Zhi anymore. Actually, he was quite pleased in his heart and had an even higher opinion of this little granddaughter of his, thinking that she was clever and knew how to live her life.

  "Grandfather, grandmother, I still plan to pick some flowers to sell." Xia Zhi said in a lower voice.

  Mr. and Mrs. Xia were both shocked.

  Summer solstice explained to the old couple in detail: "There are many people worshiping Buddha at the temple fair, besides incense, offering some fresh flowers and fruits is more like it." Some families may prepare everything for worshiping Buddha in advance, but most people just bring incense money. The incense offerings for worshiping Buddha are all purchased after arriving at the temple.

  Xia Zhi planned to pick fresh flowers and sell them at the temple. The cherries from home, except for selling them at the market for people to eat, could also be brought to the temple, where buyers either ate them or offered them to Buddha, both of which were good options.

  "There is indeed offering flowers in front of the Buddha." Old Master Xia said thoughtfully. He was considered to be one of the most knowledgeable and experienced among the villagers, knowing that there were flower artisans, but mostly they sold potted flowers or larger flowering trees to wealthy households in the city. Selling fresh flowers was truly a rare sight. He had seen people offering fresh flowers to the Buddha at temple fairs, but hadn't seen anyone selling them.

  "Maybe I didn't notice..." But it's an undisputed fact that there are fewer people selling flowers, yet the suppliers of flowers are not lacking.

  After hearing Old Man Xia say this, Xia Zhi's determination grew even stronger.

  "Sixteen, were you planning on planting flowers that day?" Old Lady Xia asked.

  It's almost there, Xia Zhi nodded in agreement.

  Mr. and Mrs. Xia exchanged a glance, then Mr. Xia patted Xia Zhi's head and sighed, "A poor man's child becomes the master of the house early." This poverty doesn't just refer to money. Then he instructed Xia Zhi, "You can earn some pocket money, Grandma and Grandpa won't stop you, don't overwork yourself, and don't just focus on making money. If you really need it, Grandma and Grandpa still have some here."

  Xia Zhi readily agreed and was busy making arrangements.

  Tian Lai Bao came to find Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei Yu Er to play, standing under the slope watching Xia Zhi tend to the flowers. He also wanted to help Xia Zhi, but was stopped by Xia Zhi.

  "Come, treasure, this rose has thorns, and it's going to prick you."

  "On the summer solstice, you're not afraid of anything, I'm Lao Ye Men, what am I afraid of?" Tian Lai Bao puffed out his chest. Only Xia Zhi was around him, so he didn't call her sister."

  Xia Zhi was amused by him, but still didn't let him touch. Tian Lai Bao wasn't a child from a farming family, he had never done any work, Xia Zhi worried that he would ruin his own flowers and plants.

  "Come on, Laibao, go find my uncle." Xia Zhi drove Laibao to the fields.

  "Hmm." Tian Lai Bao responded with his mouth, but his feet didn't move. "Xiatu, I brought some snacks. Take a break and let's eat." Every time Tian Lai Bao came to visit them, he would bring food, mostly various types of pastries.

  Tian Lai Bao's family runs a pastry shop, and it's very famous in the prefectural city.

  "Go find my uncle, I'll be right back," Xia Zhi said.

  "Then I'll accompany you." Tian Lai Bao saw that Xia Zhi was busy and didn't pay attention to him, so he stepped forward and squeezed in front of Xia Zhi. "Xia Zhi, there's a temple fair the day after tomorrow."

  Xia Zhi murmured an absent-minded "uh-huh".

  "It's the summer solstice, do you want to go? It'll be lively and fun. Let's go together!" Tian Lai Bao said excitedly, "I told my grandma, we can take two cars, we'll sit in that sedan, it won't be crowded, and we won't get sunburned..."

  Xia Zhi looked at Tian Lai Bao and thought to herself, "If only he had said it a few days earlier." But then she changed her mind. Tian Lai Bao and the others were going on a pleasure trip, while she was going on business.
