Third Grandfather said everything he needed to say, and then urged them to get busy, telling them not to accompany them and not to delay the shop's business.
Just then, the two children finished eating, and Jiang Mian went to take them to school.
"Father, Mother, I'm going to take the child to school."
“I’ll go with you.”
Third Grandfather got up and went out with the three of them, father and sons.
"The school isn't far away, but there aren't any children from here who go to school together."
I didn't feel comfortable letting them walk on their own; there are a lot of people around here, and it's not safe.
"Okay, better safe than sorry. If something happens to the child, it will be too late to regret it."
It won't interfere with your work, but it will be a little tiring for you; I'll need to pick you up and drop you off later.
The third grandfather looked at his two grandsons, dressed in scholar's robes, full of energy, how wonderful!
When we arrived at the school gate, there were many more children, and many more people were fighting. Most of them were people who had brought their children there.
There's no place to park horse-drawn carriages here; everyone walked.
The two children waved goodbye to their grandfather and their father, and then followed their classmates into the school.
"Dad, let's go back. I have to get back to work after we finish eating."
"Let's go back. It's good to be busy. If you're busy, it means business is good and you'll have work to do."
"That's true. No matter how busy or tired I am, I feel sweet inside, and there's hope for the future!"
Jiang Mian genuinely felt that being busy was good; he didn't even feel tired.
"Father, I was thinking that by the end of the year we'll have some money on hand. Should we buy a few acres of land?"
"Okay, buy it if you find something suitable. Don't worry, the money you earn, apart from what you give to your family, is all yours."
The third grandfather understood that in the future, his second son would earn more and more, and it wouldn't be fair to them if he didn't give it all to the family.
"I know, I'll listen to Dad."
Jiang Mian knew what his father was thinking, so he wasn't worried.
He also has a wife and children, and he needs to plan for their future. He pays his share of the money he earns, and keeps the rest for himself.
Third Grandfather and the others spent a short day at the shop and witnessed how well the business was doing, with a constant stream of customers.
Now I can really relax!
