Jiang Shuhe's wife and children settled down on the estate. Together with Sister Xu, they were in charge of the farmhands' meals, did the same work, and lived in a larger place than before. The people on the estate were very friendly to them.
Dong Sanlin lives with his sister and nephew and is very hardworking.
With his brother-in-law's example as a role model, he also wants to work hard and hopefully become a manager or something in the future, which would be wonderful.
Even if you can't become a manager, it's still good to be a long-term worker; the pay is good.
Without the occasional disturbance from relatives, Jiang Shuhe's wife was in a good mood, and the children were happy too. After dinner, the family would look at literacy books together and learn characters.
More than ten days before the New Year, Mu Yi'an finished settling all the accounts and preparing New Year's gifts for all the families she was going to visit.
Fang's wife calculated the wages and bonuses of all the servants in the house, while Steward Li calculated the wages and rewards of all the long-term laborers.
With Accountant Song gone, everyone had an extra task to do.
A few days before the Lunar New Year, all matters concerning Jiang Shuyun College were completed, and the holiday began.
"Shuyun, all the New Year's gifts have been prepared. Take Shaoming and Shaoyun back to pay respects to our ancestors, and bring Steward Li and his family with you."
Mu Yi'an thought about some of her previous decisions.
When he returns, there will inevitably be people in the Jiang clan and the village who want his help. Steward Li is familiar with these matters and can handle them with ease.
"Okay, there are many things I really don't understand."
Back in the village, we stayed at our own home, and Sister-in-law Li was responsible for cooking.
"At home, Butler Li isn't here. Will you be able to manage things here?"
Jiang Shuyun felt uneasy thinking about Yi'an taking care of the three children alone at home.
"I won't go out either. Nothing will happen. Mr. Liang and the others are still at home. There are enough people in both the outer and inner courtyards. You can come back after you finish the ancestral worship."
Oh, right, I prepared newborn gifts for Shuwen and Qiuniang, which they can use regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl.
And Ziyi's family, they should be giving birth soon. You should send them over first. Ziyi's child is due at the end of the year, maybe you can make it in time.
We might not have time to go back to Shuwen's house in the month her child is born.
When you go back this time, please personally deliver the gifts to them.
Mu Yi'an almost forgot about this, but luckily she remembered, otherwise she would have had to make another trip.
After Mu Yi'an finished explaining everything, the two prepared to go to sleep.
"Yi'an, I'll be gone for several days. Let's have a good chat. You've been so busy at the end of the year, I didn't want to bother you, afraid you'd get too tired."
Jiang Shuyun lowered the bed curtains and began to undress Yi'an.
Mu Yi'an also wanted to, as the two hadn't had a proper conversation in a long time, and keeping it bottled up wasn't good for their health.
If you don't communicate properly when you're in your prime, you'll regret it when you're old and don't have the energy to do so.
Before long, sounds that made one blush and their heart race could be heard coming from inside the room.
Mu Yi'an wasn't used to having maids and servants keep watch at night; otherwise, she couldn't stand having to listen to a free live sex show every time they talked.
The next day, Jiang Shuyun dressed in new clothes, while Mu Yi'an yawned and fought off his sleepiness to get up.
Shao Ming and Shao Yun were also dressed. The two young men stood there, one gentle and refined, the other full of energy.
Whose young man is this? He's so pleasing to the eye.
"Mother, you must wait for us to come back at home."
The two children were a little sad to be away from their mother for the first time, but they were too embarrassed to shed tears.
"Your mother is waiting for you to come back. When you're out, listen to your father and don't sneak out alone, Shao Yun, do you understand?"
"I remember you, Mother, and I will not leave my father and the others."
Jiang Shuyun, along with Butler Li's family, two guards, Jiang Mo and Jiang Yan, headed towards the dock.
After a smooth journey to Xinyuan County, Jiang Shuyun did not go directly back to Jiangjia Village, but instead went back to her house in the county town first.
I had already sent a message to have people prepare the houses in the village in advance.
"Master, you've arrived. Please come inside; the water is ready."
After receiving the letter, Old Wang, who guarded the yard, had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of his master for the past few days.
Granny Wang had already tidied up the room, and the bedding was freshly aired.
Jiang Shuyun and her group first washed up to wash away their fatigue, and then ate a hearty meal, which made them feel much better.
Jiang Shuyun recalled what Yi An had said: after arriving in ancient times, she was well taken care of and felt very comfortable.
Butler Li first distributed the New Year's gifts to each family. Jiang Shuyun, along with Shao Ming and Shao Yun, went to visit her parents-in-law. They would be busy with many things once they returned to Jiangjia Village the next day.
The Mu family was in chaos; Mu Ziyi's wife was about to give birth.
Jiang Shuyun and the others, carrying their things, looked at the people coming and going in the courtyard, somewhat bewildered.
"Shuyun, Shaoming, Shaoyun, you're back. Come in quickly."
Mu's mother was the first to spot the father and his two sons, Li Li and Li Qiang, who were carrying things, walking behind.
"Mother-in-law, what is this?"
"Ziyi's wife has started labor, and the house is a bit messy. You should go inside first; your father-in-law is inside."
Jiang Shuyun knew that it was inconvenient for him to be outside, so she took the child and Li Li and the others into the house.
"Father-in-law, are you well?"
"Grandfather, are you well?"
Jiang Shuyun brought her two children to pay their respects to her father-in-law. Mr. Mu was very happy to see the three of them, especially his two grandsons, who had really grown up.
His every move is quite different now.
"Mu Xuan, take your younger brothers to the study to play."
"Okay, Grandpa. Shaoming, Shaoyun, let's go to the study to talk."
Mu Xuan and his brothers took their two cousins to the study. It was a rare occasion for the two cousins to come back, so they exchanged ideas about scholarship.
"Yi'an hasn't come back?"
"They didn't come back. The two little ones are too young, and we're afraid something might happen to them on the way."
