Here, the women spent the whole day shopping.

Meanwhile, Third Grandfather and the others also arrived at the barbecue stall.

The barbecue stall didn't open until noon, so when they arrived, the main entrance wasn't open yet.

"Grandpa, the shop isn't open yet at this hour, and the front door isn't open. We need to go through the side door."

Zheng Da was in charge of bringing Third Grandfather and the others here. Last time, he and Manager Wei went back to the county town together and picked up Third Grandfather and the others.

"Then let's go through the side door."

Businesses can't easily close down for a break, so none of the shopkeepers attended the 100-day celebration at Baizhuangzi, but Manager Wei distributed the celebratory money in advance.

"Manager Jiang, this is Zheng Da. Please open the door."

"Here it is, please wait a moment."

The sound of a servant came from inside the courtyard. As the footsteps grew closer, the bolt on the door was removed with a clang, and the small door opened.

"Oh, Grandpa, Third Grandpa, you've come."

"Uncle Mian, Uncle Mian, my grandfather and third grandfather are here."

Jiang Shuping, the great-grandfather's grandson (I can't remember if I gave this character a name before, so I've come up with a new one. If you remember this name, please remind me, thanks!), shouted and ran back to find Uncle Jiang Mian.

"Why is this child still so lively and unruly?"

The great-grandfather looked disgusted; none of his grandchildren were calm and composed.

"Brother, the child is still young, only sixteen or seventeen years old. How many of them can be mature?"

"You can tell what a person will be like at three years old. None of my family members have amounted to anything."

Grandpa was a little disappointed in him and didn't say a word of encouragement.

"Uncle, Father, Mother, you're here! Come in quickly."

Jiang Mian knew that his parents had come to the prefectural city to attend the child's 100-day celebration. Manager Wei was busy with many things, and he was also very busy here, so he couldn't get away and couldn't go to see his parents.

There were a few others who came along; they were influential people in the village, and Jiang's father had specially invited them.

They also have younger relatives working in the shop, and they came to take a look this time.

Jiang Mian had someone take him to look for it, and while they weren't busy, they chatted for a while.

"How is Liu Ye doing here? Is she adjusting well?"

Third Grandma was most worried about Second Daughter-in-law, because she couldn't speak and she was afraid she wouldn't adapt.

"Liu Ye is making breakfast for the children. Shu Bai and Shu Yuan are going to school later, so they will eat first."

Liu Ye adapted very well; she was never a weak person to begin with.

Now, Liu Ye is in charge of all our meals and also responsible for preparing cold dishes.

Sister-in-law Li prepared the dressing, and Liu Ye was in charge of making it.

Liu Ye learns quickly and does everything very well; Manager Wei has praised her several times already.

Jiang Mian is truly content now. Liu Ye has things she enjoys doing, her children are doing well at school, and her youngest daughter is very well-behaved.

"That's good, that's good. I was worried that Liu Ye wouldn't adapt."

"Grandpa, Grandma, Great-Grandpa, you've come! We've missed you."

Shubai and Shuyuan came out of the house and chatted happily with their grandparents.

"Uncle, Father, Mother, you've arrived."

Liu Ye also came out, gesturing a greeting with her hands.

"Yes, I came to attend the twins' 100-day celebration and stopped by to see you two."

"Now that we've seen it, we feel much more at ease."

Third Grandma was genuinely worried; she couldn't help but feel anxious until she saw it with her own eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, Mother. We are all doing well." Liu Ye quickly gestured to reassure her mother-in-law.

"Alright, Liu Ye, go and take care of the children's school arrangements. We'll talk about it later, no rush."

"Go eat with your mother, or you'll be late and the teacher will spank your hands."

"Okay, Dad. Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandma, let's go eat."

The two children reluctantly went inside, and Liu Ye bowed and went in as well.

"Good, both the child and the adults are good. You made the right choice in coming out."

The great-grandfather looked at the two children and his niece-in-law, and they were much better off than when they were in the village.

"Yes, here you can meet different people, hear and see good things, and naturally you will learn from them. Without realizing it, Liu Ye and the children have changed a lot."

Jiang Mian was also glad that he had come out; otherwise, he would have stayed in Jiangjia Village for the rest of his life, and his children would have lived a similar life to him.

"That's good. No matter how far we go in the future, the most important thing is to have a good character."

Both children are good; you should teach them well. If they can pass the imperial examinations, it will bring honor to your family.

Even if you don't pass the exam, studying, learning to read and write, and gaining more knowledge will open up more paths for you to take.

The third grandfather's mentality was similar to that of Jiang's father. They both felt that one couldn't go down a dead end. If things really couldn't continue, they should quickly change to another path.

“If you can take the exam, you should take it. Look at Ziwen’s lineage, which has had only one son for several generations, but now they’ve risen up and are thriving.”

Shuyun's success has brought prosperity to her entire family and even her entire clan.

Even the great-grandfather was envious. Although they were all from the Jiang clan, there were still differences in the closeness of their relationship.

"It would be great if the child could pass the exam. The child is still young, and while studying is important, the principles of being a good person should not be ignored."

If you can't succeed through studying, there are other paths you can take.

If you can't be a decent human being, you're headed for death.

The third grandfather spoke earnestly, also as a reminder to his second son that he owed his success to the Shuyun family.

Shuyun's wife trusted him and let him manage such a large shop; he couldn't do anything to disgrace his ancestors.

"Father, don't worry, I won't."

The father and son didn't need to say anything; they both understood each other's meaning.

"Good! You all go about your business. We've already eaten, so you don't need to stay with us."
