Su Cheng slept at home and awoke early the next morning.
Su Xiaoxiao went into the backyard and noticed her young, handsome father doing martial arts in the open space.
She couldn’t help but ask, "Dad, why are you up so early?"
Su Cheng finished his routine and scratched his head.
"Ah, I’ve been waking up early these past few days, and it seems like I’ve gotten used to it. You should sleep a bit more. I’ll go out and buy breakfast later, there’s no need for you to cook."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
"It’s fine, I can’t sleep any more."
Su Ergou anticipated that she would be quite busy over the following few days, so he temporarily suspended the Imperial Academy order business.
Today, she didn’t need to make too much, so it wouldn’t take much effort.
She made mung bean cakes and Ergou cakes stuffed with pork floss.
Breakfast consisted of millet porridge and leek and egg pancakes.
During the meal, she brought up the topic of finding craftsmen.
“....I'd like to split the rear annex rooms. I've made the blueprints, and I'll need quite a few partition boards. We need to get a carpenter first."
Dahu suddenly looked up.
"Mom, we can ask Grandpa Liu to be the carpenter!"
Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Where to find him?"
Dahu counted on his fingers: "The third house on the way to Shifu’s place!"
"Xiaofu (Xiaohu) can too!"
Xiao Hu declared loudly.
Su Cheng laughed.
"How many can Xiaohu count?"
Xiaohu said with full confidence: "A hundred!"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Xiaohu is amazing! Count for Grandpa, please."
Xiaohu began counting with Dahu, and Erhu: "One, two, three... a hundred!"
Su Cheng: ".….."
Su Xiaoxiao was amused by Xiaohu and smiled.
Then she responded to Dahu, "Alright. Then all we need next is to find a blacksmith."
Dahu looked up again and said, "We can ask Grandpa Zhang to be the blacksmith!"
Su Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised: "Where to find Grandpa Zhang?"
Dahu pointed westward: "The first house that way."
That was a household near the intersection with Zhuangyuan Street.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "I pass by their door every day, but I’ve never heard the sound of blacksmithing. Are you sure he’s a blacksmith, Dahu?"
Dahu replied with absolute certainty: "Grandpa Zhang is an excellent blacksmith. But his forge is not here."
Little one, you sure have a lot of intelligence.
Su Cheng remembered something and added seriously, "You and Doctor Fu won't be able to handle everything alone, right? Should we hire some servants?
Dahu said cheerfully: "We can go ask Grandma Zhou’s family!"
Su Xiaoxiao’s plump body jolted: You even know a labor broker?!
After breakfast, Su Cheng returned to the riding arena to continue being a training dummy.
Before leaving, he secretly stuffed all his savings into Su Xiaoxiao’s book bag.
When Su Xiaoxiao saw those crumpled banknotes and assorted silver ingots, her heart warmed.
He hadn’t spent a single copper coin of the money she gave him for himself.
As for the money he earned himself, needless to say, it was all here.
In an instant, the banknotes and silver ingots in her hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that simply building a fortune wasn’t enough, she needed to make a name for herself in the capital and help her father reach the pinnacle of life.
Su Qi and Su Yu arrived late. Breakfast was already gone, but fortunately, there were still pastries made by Su Xiaoxiao.
The two happily took Su Ergou to the Imperial Academy.
Su Xiaoxiao dropped the three little ones off at Ling Yun’s place, and soon after, Su Mo’s carriage arrived.
Remembering what happened the day before, Su Xiaoxiao asked, "How did Wei Ting drive you away yesterday?"
Su Mo replied, "He said he had something to discuss with you."
Su Xiaoxiao: "That’s it?"
Su Mo said seriously, "Compared to him breaking into your room in the middle of the night, having him talk to you in a carriage at the palace gate made me feel more at ease."
Su Xiaoxiao went into the backyard and noticed her young, handsome father doing martial arts in the open space.

Breakfast consisted of millet porridge and leek and egg pancakes.
-Mung Bean fillings
-Ergou cake (Meat floss cake). (T/N: I think it will look similar to this)
-Millet porridge
-Chives egg pancakes

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Where to find him?"
Dahu counted on his fingers: "The third house on the way to Shifu’s place!"
Su Cheng said delightedly, "Wow, Dahu can count now!"*Shifu : Master (as teacher or mentor)
"Xiaofu (Xiaohu) can too!"
Xiao Hu declared loudly.
Su Cheng laughed.
"How many can Xiaohu count?"
Xiaohu said with full confidence: "A hundred!"
