The green bean and pork filling buns were very popular. Mu Yi'an didn't care about other people's reactions; she was content to have eaten the buns she had been longing for.

You have to understand that in those days, not many people could afford to eat steamed buns. Everyone worked hard to earn a single copper coin, and they would think long and hard before spending it.

Although they weren't made with pure white flour, the steamed buns turned out a bit yellowish with some black spots. Cornmeal and sorghum flour were added to the white flour mixture.

"Mom, the steamed buns are delicious, thank you for your hard work!"

Little Jiang Shaoming found his mother who had changed his sister's diaper and earnestly expressed his gratitude.

"You're welcome. Shaoming, are you full?"

"I'm full. I've finished writing the big characters. Can I go see the little lamb?"

"Go ahead, let your father take you. There are not only sheep in the backyard, but also donkeys and mules. Don't go near them."

"I've remembered, I'll keep an eye on my brother."

After speaking like a little adult, Jiang Shaoming went to the study to find his father.

"Go see the sheep? Your mother asked me to take you to see the sheep?"

Jiang Shuyun slowly stood up. His wife had given him instructions, and he had to obey! He was tired from writing anyway, so he decided to go for a walk, look at the greenery, and remember that he couldn't afford to be nearsighted anymore; there were no glasses for nearsighted people in this era.

"Little brother, Kun little brother, come on, my dad is taking us to see the sheep."

Shaoming's voice was filled with joy. He glanced in the direction of the main house and saw that Shaoning had been taken back to her room by her aunt to study. It was a pity that the sheep could not be seen!

Jiang Shuyun took the three little ones to the backyard. The lambs were bleating, which immediately attracted the attention of the three little rascals.

"Father, Father, sheep, sheep..."

"Yes, it's a sheep."

Shao Yun excitedly grabbed his father's hand, wanting to touch the little lamb.

Jiang Shuyun looked around and found the sheep grass she had gathered that morning. She gave each of the three children a small handful and told them to feed the sheep.

Shaoming was the oldest of the three children. He moved over little by little, probably still scared, but he knew he was the older brother and couldn't back down.

Shao Kun, holding a blade of grass, hid behind his second uncle, peeking out and then retreating again; it was quite amusing.

The boldest one was Jiang Shaoyun, who grabbed a handful of grass and charged straight into the sheep pen.

"Meow..."

"Meow..."

Shao Yun imitated the lamb's bleating, and the lamb bleated back at him.

"Father, Father, tell me, tell me..."

"Little lamb, come and eat grass."

Jiang Shuyun felt like she was possessed by something, as she could actually understand these halting words. It was really strange!

The lambs didn't know how to eat grass, so the mother sheep came over and took the grass from Shao Yun's hand.

"Daddy, Daddy, eat, eat..."

Shao Yun came running back with his short legs, wanting more grass.

Seeing that his younger brother had successfully fed the sheep, Shaoming became a little bolder and strode forward with a fearless, almost reckless, gait.

"Little lamb, eat grass."

Shaoming reached out and handed over the grass, mimicking his father's greeting.

The ewe was very obliging and came over to take the grass from Shaoming's hand.

"Dad, the sheep has been eaten!"

Shaoming's eyes sparkled as he looked up at his father.

"Shaoming is very brave and capable; he fed the lambs grass."

Jiang Shuyun praised the little guy, saying that it was no easy feat to take this step.

"Go away, I, I..."

Seeing his two cousins ​​feeding the sheep grass, Shao Kun became anxious. The more anxious he became, the less he could explain. He kept pulling on his second uncle's hand and trying to pull him towards the sheep pen.

"Okay, okay, your second uncle will take you there."

Holding Shao Kun's hand, Jiang Shuyun fed the sheep grass and then led the three children back to the front yard.

"Uncle, we've fed the sheep grass!"

When Shao Ming saw Jiang Shuwen enter the courtyard, he excitedly ran over to share what he had done.

"Really? That's amazing!"

Jiang Shuwen looked at his second brother. Was this really his second brother? When did he become so patient? It wasn't that his second brother didn't like children, but he just spent all his time studying.

"Shuwen, shouldn't you be going back to the county tomorrow?"

"Yes, we can make it if we leave early tomorrow morning. Second brother, I heard you're not going to the county school anymore. Are you okay staying home by yourself?"

"Give it a try. The county school has taught everything it should. The rest is up to you to absorb, understand, and apply it flexibly."

Jiang Shuwen didn't expect his second brother to answer in such detail. According to past practice, his second brother would only say two words at most.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"

Jiang Shuyun knew Jiang Shuwen had doubts. The original owner of this body rarely interacted with her siblings. To put it simply, aside from studying, the original owner had little communication with anyone, not even her wife. They were able to have three children; she didn't know if it was some incredible luck or if they were just naturally fertile.

"No, it's just that I feel my second brother has changed a bit."

"Maybe I've finally figured it out. Before, I was so focused on studying that I neglected everything else, and I failed the exam again. Last time, when we slid down the slope, your second sister-in-law hit her head. I was terrified. If something had really happened, I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life."

We've been married for so many years, and I haven't really taken care of her much; she's always been the one taking care of me and the children. This time, after she got injured, I suddenly realized that while studying and passing the imperial examinations are important, family is equally important.

Jiang Shuyun spoke emotionally, sometimes sincerely, sometimes not. His change of heart must have a reason, right? Although Jiang's father didn't say anything, he could sense some doubt in Jiang's eyes.

"It's a blessing in disguise that Second Brother can understand these things. Didn't our father say that the imperial examination is not the only way out? If this path is blocked, we should find another one in time."
