From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 957 - 953: The Matter Is Settled (First Update)
After lunch, everyone rested at the third branch for a while and chatted.
Then, Mu Dashan, the steward of the school, took Sun Dawu and his family to visit the school.
Once Sun Xiaozhu gets accustomed to the classroom environment, he can start attending school.
Seeing the school for the first time, the Sun family was extremely excited.
Especially Sun Dawu, who left his hometown just to ensure his son could attend school. Now that this dream is about to come true, how could he remain calm?
Mu Dashan led the Sun family to the entrance of a newly built courtyard and pointed to the gate, "Dawu, this is our village’s school. It’s not large, but the environment is excellent.
Moreover, usually, villagers don’t come this way. Our fields are far away, so even during farming season, it won’t disturb the children’s learning."
Speaking of the school environment, Mu Dashan still admires his daughter Shuangshuang.
This place used to be a deserted courtyard that villagers dared not approach, but now as a school, it has turned from barren land into a great place.
Sun Dawu was also observing the school.
A courtyard with walls, about two to three times the size of a typical farmer’s house,
The environment seemed very serene, and the largest building in the center should be the classroom. These were the biggest houses.
Through the windows, you could see desks and chairs inside.
Sun Dawu excitedly picked up his son Xiaozhu, pointed at the desks and chairs, and whispered, "Xiaozhu, these are the desks and chairs for studying. Shall I take you inside for a look?"
Sun Xiaozhu looked at the desks and chairs and nodded vigorously.
Suddenly, Sun Dawu turned and asked Mu Dashan, "Uncle Dashan, is there no class at noon in the school? What do the children eat for lunch? Do they go home to eat, or do they eat at school?"
These were questions Sun Dawu was eager to know.
Mu Dashan patiently explained, "There are no classes at noon in the school; students need rest, and Teacher Luo Bai also needs to rest. The school has a special place for students to rest, where everyone can relax."
"Furthermore, when my daughter Shuangshuang registered and made arrangements, it was mentioned that the school does not provide free meals, but students can choose to eat at school."
"Lunch costs five coins per meal, which includes one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, and one soup. It may not be much, but it ensures the children’s nutrition."
"As for lunch every day, Si Niang and Zhao Yun help prepare it, and Shuangshuang pays them a certain amount."
Mu Dashan explained in detail, and Sun Dawu listened attentively. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
He roughly understood how the school operates.
Sun Dawu also learned that parents of those students who dine at school can come to check anytime if they worry about the food’s quality or quantity.
If they are dissatisfied with something, they can request a refund for the meal costs.
Sun Dawu had no objections to the school’s management; now, he wanted to enter the school to let his son experience what it is like to study.
Entering the school, they immediately saw a few children playing around.
One of them was Yuanbao.
Seeing Mu Dashan, Yuanbao happily ran over and hugged Mu Dashan’s leg.
"Uncle Dashan, why did you take so long? We’ve been waiting for you for a long time," Yuanbao’s soft voice rang out.
Mu Dashan picked up Yuanbao with ease and twirled him around in the air.
Yuanbao giggled loudly.
People scattered in every corner gathered around.
Uncle Dashan, Uncle Dashan, they called out incessantly.
Mu Dashan was well-known here as the steward; students knew that whatever the issue, talking to Mu Dashan would get it resolved.
"Yuanbao, how does it feel to go to school?" Mu Dashan put down Yuanbao and bent down to ask.
"It feels okay, by the way, Uncle Dashan, Xiao Han is asking about teacher’s lessons, should I take you to find him?"
Yuanbao tugged at Mu Dashan’s hand, intending to head toward Luo Bai’s room.
Mu Dashan stopped him, saying, "Yuanbao, this is Xiaozhu, he will study with you all in the future. I brought him today to see the school."
Speaking of Xiaozhu, Yuanbao then noticed the family following Mu Dashan, consisting of both men and women.
Yuanbao looked for a while, then earnestly suggested, "Let’s see the teacher first, he will arrange where Xiaozhu sits, then we can have the tour!"
Despite being small, Yuanbao’s sensible words did not surprise Mu Dashan.
However, the Sun family was very curious.
Sun Xiaozhu was shy, hiding behind his family when meeting strangers. ’
But not Yuanbao, who boldly observed everyone he met and spoke clearly.
Sun Dawu immediately decided in his heart to encourage his child to talk more with this boy named Yuanbao at school in the future.
Arranging for Sun Xiaozhu to attend the school took quite some effort.
Half an hour later, all the procedures were completed.
Mu Dashan brought the Sun family back to the third branch.
They lingered for quite some time, making the time to discuss the restaurant menu with Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng much shorter, but they managed to draft a preliminary menu with some effort.
At dusk, they sent the Sun family back to town, but Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng didn’t slack.
Once the restaurant’s renovations began, the opening date wouldn’t be far off.
Neither had much experience, and though Yu Dahai was helping, they intended to handle everything personally.
As a result, they ended up talking all night.
When Lu Yuanfeng reached home, the moon was already high in the sky.
Walking under the cool moonlight, Lu Yuanfeng’s lips curled into a smile; even as he slept and dreamed, he was smiling.
-
The next day, with the sun high in the sky, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, well-rested, set out together to the town.
Only two days left until the restaurant’s renovations were completely finished, then they’d have to discuss when to open.
First, they wanted to visit the restaurant to check the quality of the renovations, and then find someone to create the menu.
The menu is a crucial part of Chengfeng Restaurant; there’s a text version and an illustrated version.
Mu Shuangshuang had seen town restaurants without menus, relying on waitstaff reciting to customers.
Typically, when hiring staff, restaurants prioritized memorization skills.
If someone could memorize the entire menu, they’d receive priority employment.
Often, restaurant staff were busy memorizing everything without actually engaging with customers.
Mu Shuangshuang wanted each dish illustrated, with two menus per table.
Although this approach was costly, it would certainly become a unique feature of the restaurant.
After searching most of the town, Mu Shuangshuang finally found an old master who used to paint landscapes for people, though his prices were steep: five coins per illustration.
Moreover, he insisted on painting from real examples, meaning Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng had to make every dish in front of him for him to paint.
