Jiang Qiao gave Jiang He a thumbs up and said, "Brother, well done! If you can think like this, your children will be grateful to you as their father in the future. You don't know how difficult it is to be illiterate until you go out.
The benefits of your actions will extend beyond your children; they will extend to your descendants. When parents receive an education, they will understand the importance of knowledge.
Jianghu smiled innocently, "I didn't think that far ahead. You know, for a girl like you to be able to run to such a far place, it must be inseparable from your literacy. I didn't think too much about it, I just thought that if the child has education, she might be able to find a job in the future and become a city person."
Don't let us end up like this, toiling in the soil every day, relying on the weather for our livelihood. I've had enough hardship in my life, and I really don't want my children to suffer like this.
However, that depends on their own fate. I've created the conditions for them; whether they succeed depends on their own abilities.
Wen Xueyi stroked the river with her hands, looking very serene. However, only she knew in her heart that her heart was pounding. She was about to see her older brother and sister-in-law, and she had no idea what her older brother looked like now.
It's all because of her, the younger sister, who is so useless. When the Wen family fell on hard times, she couldn't help them at all.
Wen Songtao never dreamed that Jiang Qiao would come at this time, and he had no idea that someone he had been looking forward to for a long time was about to arrive.
Early in the morning, after the old man had eaten, he took his small teapot and strolled around the yard.
"What are you doing? If you have nothing better to do, go and pull some weeds in the vegetable garden for me."
Wen Songtao shook his head. "Why is my heart pounding? Is something wrong with my body? Quickly find me some medicine, the one Jiang Qiao left for me."
Zhou Yaru sighed, "You old man, can't you go get it yourself? Why are you ordering me around? Can't you see I'm busy?"
Wen Songtao held his small teapot and sighed, "Alas, I'm old and useless now. Even you, old woman, despise me. If I were comfortable, would I need you? Sigh—"
Zhou Yaru was amused and annoyed by her old man's behavior. "You old man, you're getting worse as you get older. You're acting like a child. I'll get it for you. But are you really alright? Do you need to go out and find a doctor to take a look? Don't delay. No matter how good the girl's medicine is, if it's not right for the illness, it's all for nothing."
Sigh, I wonder when the child will be able to come. Weren't they supposed to be all better?
Wen Songtao chuckled twice. "Then we'll have to wait until the child has time. He's been lying in bed for four years, and so many things have been delayed. Once he wakes up, he'll have to pick up the important things to do."
Besides, we've already had everything brought over for us, what more could you want? Compared to the people in this village, we're much luckier; we have plenty to eat and drink, right?
Zhou Yaru muttered, "I miss my child. I wonder how my youngest son is doing. Sigh, you old man, all you know is eating and drinking. Why don't you care about your own child at all?"
"You only have one son here, why don't you try to see him, at least just once, so we can feel at ease?"
Wen Songtao gave a wry smile. "You old woman, are you dreaming? What time is it? What if someone recognizes us? Are you going to look after the child or cause trouble for the child?"
Although Zhongxuan's situation is not good, at least there is no danger for now. If we go there, we will really cause trouble for the child.
"Don't worry, Zhengfeng and Jingwan can take care of them secretly. Besides, Qiao'er is awake now, isn't she? Knowing about her uncle's situation, do you think a child can sit still? You underestimate our granddaughter. That girl, even if she's on the ground, she'll run over to check on him. Maybe our son and his son are living a peaceful life."
Zhou Yaru snorted, "You think that girl Qiao'er can do anything? You said I'm dreaming, but you're the one who's dreaming."
She's been unconscious for so long, even if she wakes up, she won't know anything about what's happening outside. Besides, that place is so far away, even if she wanted to help, she might not be able to find a way.
I suggested writing a letter, but you wouldn't let me. I don't even know how the children are doing. As their mother, I'm constantly worrying about them, while you, as their father, have completely washed your hands of the responsibility.
Wen Songtao was too lazy to explain the ins and outs to his wife. Jiang Qiao had been unconscious for a long time, but he knew his granddaughter's personality. Someone who could fight those enemy agents to the death must have some guts and perseverance to get to where she is today.
He knew that the old woman was worried about the children, but now was really not the time for them to go out. He could only bicker with his wife to at least make the old woman feel that life wasn't so boring.
He had just gone back inside to get his medicine when he heard the voice he had been waiting for so long outside.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm here!"
Jiang Qiao's clear voice made the old man lose his composure, and he didn't even realize that the medicine bottle he was holding had fallen to the ground. Wen Songtao rushed out without caring about anything else.
It's really impressive how this old man runs so fast, almost like a young person at his age.
Seeing the two people standing at the door, Wen Songtao's eyes welled up with tears. Back then, he had seen off the young and beautiful eldest daughter of the Wen family, but now his younger sister's hair was already streaked with gray.
In Wen Xueyi's eyes, the once dashing and debonair elder brother is now all white-haired. The young elder brother who could strategize and solve business problems with ease has now really become an old man.
"elder brother--"
Hearing his sister's cry, Wen Songtao, who was usually very composed, couldn't help but shed tears and opened his arms to hug his sister who rushed towards him.
"Little sister—"
Jiang Qiao watched from the side, and even she couldn't help but feel a little excited. Her grandfather looked much older than before, but fortunately, he was in good spirits.
Seeing the brother and sister hugging each other and crying with relief, she herself felt a little sad.
Life is like a dream. Before she could finish her thought, a surprised shout rang out behind her.
"Qiao'er?"
Zhou Yaru was weeding in the vegetable garden behind the house when she heard someone call out "Grandma." The old lady excitedly ran over. She didn't doubt that anyone who would stand at their door calling "Grandma" must be their Qiao'er.
Jiang Qiao turned around and saw Zhou Yaru, then rushed over with a beaming smile, "Grandma, how are you?"
Zhou Yaru looked her granddaughter over and touched Jiang Qiao's hand with a kind expression. "Good, good, our Qiao'er has grown into a big girl."
Then the old lady saw that her husband was also holding a woman, and her face immediately turned ugly. Her expression darkened, and she called out, "Wen Songtao—"
