School was about to start, and Xu Nian'an and his siblings were busy using every bit of time to sell bean sprouts.
The fruit jelly had already been used up; by now, even if they wanted to make mung bean jelly, there was no way to do it.
Today, they had made a large bucket of bean sprouts, so they arrived in town at six in the morning.
They had set out for the town at five-thirty a.m.
By doing so, they would set up at the edge of the marketplace, just in time to catch the early morning crowd shopping for vegetables.
Otherwise, the several dozen pounds of bean sprouts would have been impossible to sell out.
Xu Nian'an and Xu Nianji had grown accustomed to selling bean sprouts outside the marketplace, and likewise, customers who bought bean sprouts knew there was a place here to buy them.
Xu Nianhua, carrying two big jars of chili sauce and her homemade pickled ginger, headed to the medical clinic.
