Chapter 454: Little Master
Old Man Wen and the others nodded quickly: "Of course it's true. Look at how healthy Grandpa and Grandma are. They can stay with you for a long, long time."
The children then stopped crying and went to burn paper for the two deceased elderly people.
Shen Xiucai watched the children wiping their tears and burning paper, and suddenly felt a little sad.
Shen Hanxing walked to his side: “Grandpa, what’s wrong?”
"I'm just wondering how long I can stay with them."
"Grandpa." Shen Hanxing didn't want to mention this topic.
"Before, I just wanted to see you get married and have children. Now that I see you have several children, I'm a little greedy. I want more. I want to see them grow up and have families."
"Grandpa, you will see."
Mr. Shen smiled and nodded.
On this day, everyone took turns to accompany Meng Caidie to observe mourning. These two old people had been kind to her and Xiaoyi, and this was the last thing they could do for them.
The funeral was held the next day. The servants bought a piece of land for the two men in advance and buried them there.
After everything was settled, Meng Caidie took out their indentures and handed them to them: "This is the indenture I promised you."
The servants held the indentures with trembling hands. They had never imagined that one day they would be free again. “Thank you, Miss.”
"You're welcome, I promised you this." Meng Caidie thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to trouble you for one more thing."
"Miss, you say."
"I'd like to ask you to clean up their graves when you have time, and to come visit them during the holidays. I'll send you money, and your work won't be in vain."
"Well, the two ladies were very kind to us when they were alive. We will definitely come to visit them."
Meng Caidie sold the house at a low price, gave some money to the servants, and let them go home.
Xiao Yi snuggled up to her and said, "Mom, we won't be able to see grandma and aunt anymore, right?"
Meng Caidie touched his head and said, "Well, I won't see you anymore."
Xiaoyi wiped away his tears and said nothing more.
Wen Zhenyi looked around the town and said, "Caidie, let's go."
Meng Caidie nodded.
They boarded the boat and continued on their journey home.
In the beginning, everyone was in a bad mood.
For several children, it was their first time facing death.
The old people, on the other hand, felt the passage of their lives.
Wen Zhenyi has long been accustomed to death. Many lives have died in her hands, and her heart is strong enough.
After a period of adjustment, everyone regained their previous vitality.
Now several children began to learn to read with Shen Hanxing and Shen Xiucai.
When it comes to learning to read, the children all have their moments of playfulness, but they are always easily cured by the two of them.
The one who studies the most seriously is Xixi. She has a personality very similar to Shen Hanxing and can concentrate calmly.
The other children were a little more naughty, but when facing Shen Xiucai and Shen Hanxing, they would study seriously.
Wen Zhenyi hopes that they will develop good study habits, which will be helpful for whatever they do in the future.
She will also study with the children.
Some of the crew members on the ship were illiterate, so these children became their teachers.
Wen Zhenyi and his team did not have an organization. For them, these children teaching the crew members to read was also a way to consolidate their knowledge.
The crew members were also very happy. They wanted to learn to read, but due to their livelihood, they had to run around all the time and had very few opportunities to learn to read.
Now that they have such a lovely little teacher to teach them, they are so happy that they can’t express themselves.
Along the way, the children have made great progress, and the number of words the crew members know is constantly increasing. Although the words they write are still unbearable to look at, they can already recognize quite a few words.
When they arrived at the provincial capital, they also went to see Ma Yushun and Jiang Yun.
Ma Yushun is no longer the lively boy he used to be. He has become much more stable now.
"Second cousin, second cousin's wife."
"I thought you wouldn't be back so soon."
"There's a lot going on at home, so I have to come back and take a look." Wen Zhenyi didn't see their child: "Where's the child?"
"He was sent to the school in An County."
"Are you old enough to go to school?"
"That's right. I used to feel quite young, but after watching my children grow up, I realized that we are all old now."
Shen Hanxing smiled and said, “You are not old, you have grown up.”
Jiang Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud: "That makes sense."
Ma Yushun turned to look at her: "Whose family are you from?"
Jiang Yun rolled his eyes at him and turned to look for the children.
They stayed in the state capital for a few days and also visited Song Huanhuan.
Song Huanhuan burst into tears as soon as she saw Meng Caidie.
Meng Caidie was fine, she just smiled and comforted her: "Why are you so unhappy just seeing me?"
"Happy, how can I not be happy? Are you still leaving this time?"
"I'm not leaving. I plan to work hard for you."
"Do you want to take root in An County?"
"I want to be under her protection."
"Just take us back with you."
Wen Zhenyi turned to look at her: "You want to go back?"
"My husband and I are going back to take over grandpa's business. Grandpa is old."
"That's good. We can see each other more often again."
Song Huanhuan looked at Wen Zhenyi with a smile.
Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Don't look at me like that, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Is your shop in Xinglin Village still empty?"
"Yes, it's still empty. What's the matter?"
"I want to rent two shops."
"What do you want to do with my shop?"
"I plan to build a kiln factory in a village near yours, so your shop is the most suitable place to display my products."
"My shops are all quite large. Do you want two?"
"My husband is planning to open a teahouse there."
"Are you interested in the official road?"
"Yes, An County is becoming more and more lively now, and the population of Wenxia Town has increased noticeably. Now houses are being built outside the city."
"Is this true?"
"How could I lie to you? I feel like Xinglin Village will soon become part of Wenxia Town, so I have to seize the opportunity and grab two good spots."
Wen Zhen blinked. This was something she had not expected. However, it was a happy thing that An County was developing well. After all, this was her fiefdom. "Okay, I'll leave two shops for you."
Ma Yushun's vacation is over, and Wen Zhenyi and the others are preparing to go back. They also have to go to the county town to visit Mr. Cheng and his grandmother's family.
There were more people on their boat, and it became much more lively.
The children were so happy that they had two more brothers and sisters.
But when studying, I am not careless at all and always study seriously.
Song Huanhuan looked at the children who were studying seriously with some surprise: "How do you teach this?"
