After the people from their hometown left, Mu Yi'an and her family returned to normal life.
Jiang Shuyun was also preparing to start using literacy booklets on the estate, but the wheat harvest was in full swing, and both adults and children were busy.
"Shuyun, Father and the others have been back for a while now. Have they written anything? Have they started using the literacy booklets yet?"
"A letter was sent over before, but the village is busy with farming right now, so I haven't had time to deal with it."
But my third grandfather finished reading it himself, and Shuhe also took a copy from the village in the county town; he's studying it too.
This was something Mu Yi'an hadn't expected; she knew Jiang Shuhe was very capable.
"That's good too. Now that they're in charge, it would be a bit unreasonable if they were too illiterate."
However, of the brothers, Shuhe seemed the most reserved, but he was also the most hardworking.
I haven't had much contact with the others, so I don't know them well. But I've had a lot of contact with the eldest, Jiang Shuqi. He's hardworking, but he doesn't think much.
"So, in their family, Shuhe is currently living the best life."
By the way, the third brother said he won't be coming to the prefectural city for now. He wants to save up some more money and solidify his shop in the county town before making any moves.
Moreover, it seems the third son's wife is pregnant again, so he won't be coming over for the time being.
"That's good too. They can make a steady profit in the county town. But what will happen after they come to the prefectural city is hard to say."
We have limited capabilities; we've already helped those we could, and I can't help them indefinitely.
Before Mu Yi'an moved to the prefectural city, she had already parted ways with Jiang Shuwen. She only took back the money she had initially invested in the hot pot shop, and gave them the recipe and other things.
"Of course, no one can live by relying on others."
Of course, I'm an exception; I depend on my wife for a living.
Jiang Shuyun said this without the slightest hint of embarrassment. Mu Yi'an was left speechless; she had never encountered a man like this in her life.
"Fine, go ahead and lean on me. After all, you're not an outsider, you're an insider."
"That's right, I'm my wife, haha..."
The little incident passed quickly; what can others say about the sweet nothings exchanged between husband and wife?
During this time, the two little ones were able to roll over. After five months, they started wriggling and straining forward, trying to crawl, which seemed a bit too early.
"Three months to roll over, six months to sit, seven months to crawl—it's not time yet."
Shao Ming studied even harder, completing the lessons his teacher assigned him very well, and also managed to read many other books in between.
Jiang Shuyun copied a lot of books from the academy's study, all of which were Shao Ming's favorites.
Shao Yun, on the other hand, still prefers to read about military strategy and travelogues, and he has always dreamed of becoming a great general in the future.
It's not exactly a dream. This kid is quite persistent. He's been practicing his basic skills all along, and now he can even exchange a few moves with Master Zhao.
However, Master Zhao also said that he only knows some martial arts. If Shao Yun really wants to become a great general, he needs to hire someone who knows how to deploy troops.
Master Zhao himself had never been to the battlefield, so he didn't know what kind of person was suitable for Shao Yun.
Mu Yi'an didn't know either, but she knew that there were retired soldiers available for hire in modern times.
However, this was in ancient times, and the military system was different. It seemed that once soldiers were enlisted in the military, their families would remain in the military for generations.
She really didn't know if there would be a day when she could leave the army, or if there was a time limit.
In the past, when I read novels, there were military households, who were usually stationed at the border.
With so many children, there are so many things to consider, and I have to take care of each one. I have to look after the two older ones, the two younger ones who don't know anything, and then there's my only daughter, who I'm not sure how to manage.
Mu Yi'an thought back to her past life, when she was the only one who was full and the whole family was never hungry.
In the two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, which was over 80 square meters, she was the only one breathing.
She also didn't understand those who kept cats and dogs, who were exhausted every day and still had to take care of their food, water, and toilet needs.
Now, she suddenly has five more children, and raising each one adds to her responsibility!
I wonder if she has a few more wrinkles on her face; it's all from worrying.
Jiang Shuyun was unaware of Mu Yi'an's rambling at home. He was now sitting in the headmaster's study once again. Lately, he had been visiting the headmaster's study quite frequently.
"Zhonglin, when I went to the manor last time, I think I saw a martial arts training ground inside?"
"There is a training ground."
Jiang Shuyun didn't understand what the headmaster was trying to say. Did the academy need a training ground for horseback archery?
It seems unnecessary. The academy's own grounds are quite large, even larger than their estate.
"Was this martial arts training ground built to improve the children's physical fitness?"
"Not entirely. The second son in the family has been quite lively since he was little. As he got older, he took a liking to martial arts and said he wanted to be a great general."
There happened to be a servant in the house who knew some martial arts, so we've been training him.
Jiang Shuyun didn't understand what the headmaster meant; he was confused and bewildered.
He truly lacked the ability to discern subtle meanings from a sound or to understand inner thoughts from a person's expression.
"Here's the thing, I have a few wounded soldiers here who are looking for something to do."
The headmaster didn't really know how to start, but since everyone had come, he admired these soldiers on the frontier and wanted to help them.
"What the headmaster means is that you have a few soldiers who came down from the army, and they are wounded and want to find something to do."
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean."
My second son serves in the Northwest Army, and these soldiers are all meritorious individuals.
He was wounded in battle and could no longer remain in the army.
Because they were all orphans and had no relatives, they didn't want to stay at the border and wanted to start a new life somewhere else.
