Wu Dahu, on the other hand, stayed in the village's medicinal herb fields and worked under Zhao Qiufeng.
As for Wu Sanhu, he was busy with matters in Huaiyuan.
As mentioned earlier, Wu Sanhu had already supervised the completion of the house Qiu Yan and her second uncle built in the slums of Huaiyuan.
However, besides the house in Huaiyuan, he also had an important task entrusted to Qiu Dafu by the prefect.
Building city walls is not something that can be done overnight.
Wu Sanhu initially felt that he was not up to such a heavy responsibility.
However, even if Uncle Qiu is gone, there is still Aunt Qiu.
For the past few months, whenever he and his second brother had any problems, they would ask Aunt Qiu for advice.
For example, there aren't enough bricks and tiles, not enough mortar, not enough materials...
Under Wu Erhu's supervision, Qingyun Academy has taken initial shape and is quite impressive.
Hearing what her second aunt said, Qiu Ling'er and Cui Zhu followed Jiang Liu, one on each side, to see the new academy.
Her happiest moment each day was seeing how the new academy was progressing.
They went by horse-drawn carriage.
The path here was repaired by Qiu Dafu last year.
Near the academy, Elder Mu and Elder Meng were touring the place.
At this moment, they were happily looking at every brick and tile of the academy.
Upon seeing Jiang Liu arrive, the smiles on the two elderly people's faces grew even wider.
“Madam Qiu, you’re quite pregnant, so you don’t need to travel back and forth. We’ll take care of the academy for you,” Old Master Mu said with a smile.
Old Master Meng chimed in, "Yes, Madam Qiu, you should stay home and rest during your pregnancy. We two can handle the affairs of the academy."
Jiang Liu smiled and bowed slightly to the two elders. "I get bored staying at home too. This little distance is nothing."
Whenever she calms down, all she can think about is Qiu Dafu.
Therefore, she had to keep herself busy.
Old Mu glanced at Old Meng and laughed, "Brother Meng, you're the only one with nothing to do, aren't you? I'm teaching Ling'er to read every day, how come I'm just like you, a nobody?"
Old Meng, with his hands behind his back, said in a measured tone:
"You can't deny getting old. Look at you, how old are you? It's time to enjoy your retirement."
"Hmph, you can enjoy your retirement while I'm still young." Old Master Mu retorted stubbornly, then walked directly to Qiu Ling'er's side.
"Don't you think so, Ling'er?"
Qiu Ling'er smiled, then let out a long sigh.
"Hey you two, can you stop bickering the moment you meet?" Qiu Ling'er stood between the two elders, separating them.
"You brat, you dare to lecture me like that?" Old Master Mu, a teacher, was often stern and rigid.
None of the students he taught were afraid of him.
Even Qiu Xu treated him with utmost respect.
But this little girl was an exception.
But surprisingly, he quite enjoyed listening to the little girl talk.
"Uh..." Qiu Ling'er smiled mischievously, "This student would never dare to lecture you."
Old Master Meng chuckled as he watched the interaction between the old man and his young apprentice, and he even felt a pang of envy.
Thinking of his own granddaughter Qing'er, she never comes to visit him often.
“Brother Mu, I find Ling’er to be a very likable girl. From today onwards, I will also be her tutor.”
Upon hearing this, Old Mu quickly waved his hand, "No, you should enjoy your retirement."
Old Meng: "I was talking about you."
Jiang Liu chuckled.
Ling'er is quite the hot commodity today.
Qiu Ling'er looked at this one, then at that one, and shook her head.
"Sir, Grandpa Meng, why are you two arguing again?"
"Haha, Madam Qiu, it's settled then, I want to be the headmaster of this academy." Old Master Mu stopped joking and looked at Jiang Liu.
