Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Chai and Miss He did not understand why their son had a similar gift basket since Lin Shu did not work in Su Binglan’s businesses. He only learned medicine from Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu.

The family was stunned and only returned to their senses after a while.

Lin Shu happily said, “Look, I got a gift from my teacher. He told all the apprentices to take these home for the New Year.”

Lin Shu was carrying many things. They were a little heavy, and he could hardly lift them. He could only leave the Su family’s house when Su Wenxiu helped him with the basket.

Lin Chai and Miss He only returned to their senses when they heard their eldest son’s voice. The couple quickly went to help Lin Shu with his things. Miss He asked, “Why did your teacher give you a gift basket too?”

Logically speaking, the couple did not expect Lin Shu to receive a gift basket because he only studied medicine with Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu. Not only did Su Wenxiu allow his apprentices to study for free, but his family also gave his students gift baskets.

Lin Chai and his family did not know how to express their gratitude. The family’s lives had improved, and they wanted to thank Su Binglan.

Lin Shu said, “My teachers told us they should give us these things because we’re his students. They wanted us to go home and celebrate the New Year with our families.’

Miss He patted her son’s head and said, “You must remember your teachers’ kindness and study well. You must study even harder after the holidays. Help your teachers and be more diligent.”

Lin Shu listened carefully. He said, “1 know, Mother.”

Although he was still young, he knew everything he needed. He gathered more knowledge and principles, especially after attending classes to study medicine.

He knew Su Binglan was the one who cured his parents. It was because of that his family’s lives improved. His family barely had enough to eat in the past. Now, they could eat well.

It was understandable that the tofu factory and embroidery shop employees brought home gifts because it was the employees’ welfare. Everyone was shocked when even Su Wenxiu’s students returned home with gifts.

“Students can learn for free and also receive gift baskets?”

“Shouldn’t students be the ones giving gifts to teachers? Am I missing something?”

No matter how confused everyone was, it was a fact that the students brought home gifts. Everyone knew there were many benefits to working with Su Binglan, even learning from her.

Everyone decided to send their children to Su Binglan to learn things if she recruited more students in the future. Many also hoped she could open more factories and shops so that she would hire more people.

Then these families could also earn monthly salaries and bonuses. Then they would feel more at ease and buy more things to improve their lives.

Since no one could predict next year’s harvest, no one dared to spend their hard-earned money carelessly. Still, they could not solely rely on crops.

Su Binglan felt more relaxed after settling everyone’s bonuses and gifts. She felt like she had already arranged everything for the New Year.

She stayed home in the afternoon to quickly write her drama script. She even prepared to rehearse some of the more straightforward stories so that people could quickly understand this performance genre.

After everyone understood her play, she would create other stories for them to learn more.

Su Binglan titled the drama she wrote “The Concubine.” The story was something simple and easier for commoners to comprehend. Moreover, the drama would not have many supporting characters, so the script would not be complicated.

Everyone could watch her shows in a new way.

Many could not sing well without a foundation if they wanted to make it an opera performance. Su Binglan considered using a melody to convey her message.

She had already written the lines, so Yang Xiaoxun could play the role of the female consort. Most of the other roles she created were supporting, and finding people to play them was easier.

When Su Binglan took the script to Yang Xiaoxun, she saw the young lady and her grandmother busy at their stall.

Since all the Su family’s employees were on holiday, many queued at the pancake stall to buy multigrain pancakes. Moreover, the stall stood between Tenghe Town, Willow Village, and Stone Village.

Everyone had tried the duo’s pancakes yesterday and thought they were delicious, so they went to buy more the following day.

Since most people did not have much to do this afternoon, they decided to get some pancakes today because they did not have time to do so yesterday. A few people from the surrounding villages also came to buy the pancakes everyone was raving about.

The customers chatted while waiting their turn in the long queue.

“Did you come to Su Teng Village to shop for the holidays?”

“Yes, Miss Su is a great person. She gave me an extended vacation, so I have plenty of time to prepare for the New Year.”

“Me too. I planned to come here to buy braised pork, cured sausages, and a few multigrain pancakes for my children to try.”

“l also came here to buy cured meats, but the store is closed for the holidays. I heard many businesses are closed at this time of year. Still, I came to buy things from Su Teng Market.”

“The workers at the cured meats store also have an extended vacation. 1 heard they also received gift baskets containing a crate of cured meat, braised chicken, roast duck, and salted eggs.”

“The Su family are gracious people. People can work for them without worry, but it’s not easy to get a job from them.”

“That’s right. I joined during the Su family’s first hiring.”

“The girls from the embroidery shop spoke highly of the pancakes they sell here. They said they’re delicious.”

“l planned to get something to eat yesterday, but after receiving my gift basket, I no longer cared about eating and ran straight home.”

“Hahaha, I couldn’t wait to get home, too. My parents were even happier than me. They even made several of my favorite dishes that noon.”

While chatting, everyone turned and saw Su Binglan. Everyone was excited when they saw her.

“Miss Su!”

“Hello, Miss stu

“We didn’t expect to see you here.”

Everyone greeted Su Binglan simultaneously.

Su Binglan smiled at them, asking, “Is everyone here to buy pancakes?”

“Yes, we heard the pancakes are delicious, so we came to try them for ourselves.’

“All right, I’ll head inside now.” Su Binglan entered and looked for Yang

Xiaoxun.

When Yang Xiaoxun saw Su Binglan, she was so excited that she could barely hold the spatula. “M-Miss Su! Hello there!”

Su Binglan greeted Old Madam Yang, then told Yang Xiaoxun, “l finished writing the script. Come with me. You can start practicing your lines and training your voice.”

Yang Xiaoxun put down the spatula and excitedly followed Su Binglan to the

Su family’s home..
