Seeing them like this, Ning Mengyao could only nod helplessly: "Okay, then Grandpa Li, Uncle Li will trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble." The three of them shook their heads at the same time.

After saying something to the three of them, Ning Mengyao left.

Not long after she left, the two boys of the Li family came back. After they came back, Old Man Li told them that they could read.

"Grandpa, is it true?" Seven-year-old Lin'er looked at Old Man Li with eyes full of expectation.

"Yes, we can go in a few days. Lin'er and Xiaomu must be obedient then, you know?" Old Man Li said with a smile. He knew that his eldest grandson had wanted to study for a long time, but although their family is better than other families, He was a better person, but he didn't have the ability to send him to school. But it's different now.

If Lin'er has talent, then they can discuss it again.

Lin'er looked at his younger brother, and the two of them jumped up happily: "That's great."

This scene happened to many families in the village. The adults were happy and the children were also looking forward to it.

Early the next morning, Yang Lele brought his embroidery work to Ning Mengyao, and the two of them got on the ox cart in the village and went to the town.

When they arrived in the town, Ning Mengyao accompanied Yang Lele to sell the embroidery work and then took some embroidery work. After that, the two of them went to the bookstore to buy some books.

Ning Mengyao bought simple enlightenment books such as Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, Thousand Character Classic, Disciple Rules, etc. She also bought some pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

"Yao Yao, these are so expensive."

"It's okay. I'll just buy it, cut the paper, and copy the book out." Ning Mengyao shook her head indifferently.

Ning Mengyao bought ten books in total. If she really wanted to copy them all, it would probably take some time, and just this little thing cost one or two taels of silver.

"I'll help you then. Although I can't write, I can still sew them together for you." Yang Lele thought for a while and said.

"Of course that's good." Ning Mengyao smiled and nodded.

After buying the books, Ning Mengyao went to buy some daily necessities before going back.

After arriving home, Ning Mengyao moved a small table, placed pen and ink on it, and started copying.

After she finished copying one copy, Yang Lele carefully put it together, wrapped the outermost layer with oil paper, and then sewed the book together with thick thread.

After the two of them came back from the town, they were busy copying books. It was not until the afternoon that they finished copying and binding the disciples' regulations.

Looking at the thirty disciple rules, Ning Mengyao's eyes were full of smiles.

Yang Lele looked at the books on the table and felt a sense of accomplishment: "I will come to help you tomorrow."

"Then we'll be in trouble for Lele."

"What trouble do you have with me?" Yang Lele waved his hand nonchalantly.

That night, Yang Lele had dinner at Ning Mengyao's house before taking her things home.

When they returned, Yang Zhu and Mrs. Yang were standing at the door worriedly. They were relieved when they saw her figure.

Seeing her parents at the door, Yang Lele remembered that she had been busy helping Yaoyao bind books all afternoon, and she had forgotten to come back to tell her parents.

He walked quickly to the door of the house: "Mom, I'm fine. I just helped Yaoyao sew books after I came back. I forgot to come back and tell you. It's my fault."

"It's okay, you want to sew books?"

"Well, Yaoyao bought ten books, but these books are so expensive. They cost almost twenty taels of silver. Yaoyao said she would just copy some more." Thinking of the thirty books copied in the afternoon Yang Lele’s heart is full of books.

Yang Zhu looked at his daughter and opened his mouth. He didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.

"Dad, I have to help Yaoyao tomorrow. She can't do it alone." Yang Lele frowned.

If no one helped her, she would have to copy the books and bind them, which would take a lot of time.

"Okay, leave the family matters alone and go help Yaoyao first." Yang Zhu nodded, very satisfied with his daughter's attitude.

Even if my son and the others are not at home, they can send their grandson to learn how to read.

Yang Lele went to Ning Mengyao's house early the next morning. When he went there, Ning Mengyao already had several books that he had just copied.

"Have you done so much? Why didn't you wait for me to come over?" He walked to the table and sat down. He took the needle and thread and started sewing the copy that Ning Mengyao had just copied.

Ning Mengyao smiled and did not explain, but continued to copy seriously.

In this way, it took about four or five days to prepare everything, and all the tables and chairs from Old Man Li were delivered.
