Jiang Shaoqin felt his thoughts were a bit jumbled, and he didn't know if his second uncle understood what he was saying.
"Shao Qin, you're seventeen now, practically an adult. In a few years, you'll be getting married and having children. You should think carefully about what you want to do in the future."
A man, whether he studies, runs a business, farms, or does whatever he wants, must be responsible and at the very least able to support his wife and children, right?
Jiang Shuyun knew that in ancient times, many people did nothing but study their whole lives.
When I was young, my parents supported me; when they could no longer work, my wife and children supported me.
Jiang Shuyun looked down on that kind of person; it was a selfish act.
"Second Uncle, I know, but I just don't know what I can do right now."
Mu Xuan is quitting school; he wants to farm with his father. "If I don't go to school, what can I do?"
Jiang Shaoqin was a little confused. He didn't know how to farm. When he was a child, he had helped with farm work during the autumn harvest holiday, and it was really tiring.
"Is there anything you're interested in, like being a doctor, opening a shop, or working as an accountant?"
Jiang Shuyun didn't know much about this nephew.
“I don’t know either, Second Uncle. I’m thinking that when I go back, I’ll do what Mu Xuan did and go to the school on the estate to learn some skills.”
"There's nothing wrong with it. When you get back, discuss it with your grandfather and your parents."
Before you get married, think about what you're really capable of doing and whether you can support your wife and children in the future.
"I understand, Second Uncle, I'll think about it carefully." Jiang Shaoqin left his Second Uncle's study, still without any ideas.
Jiang Shuyun didn't say much. This was his nephew, not his son, and there were some things he couldn't help make decisions about.
Mu Yi'an knew that Jiang Shuyun had been talking to the children, but she didn't ask about the specifics.
They all have parents to take care of them, and they themselves have five children. They really don't have the energy or confidence to take care of other people's children.
A few days after the results of the prefectural examination were released, Jiang's parents made preparations to return home.
"Shuyun, Yi'an, we're going back tomorrow. Shao Ning is in the prefectural city, waiting for the provincial examination in August. Everyone else has gone back."
"Father, please stay a little longer. It's not easy for you to come all this way."
Mu Yi'an didn't expect them to be in such a hurry to go back.
"Yi'an, I'm also worried about home. It's been more than two months."
Sister-in-law Mu also wanted to go back home; it had been so long, and she didn't know how things were at home.
“Okay, you don’t need to worry about Shao Ning here.” Jiang Shuyun knew she couldn’t stop them, so she agreed.
The next day, Jiang Shuyun saw her parents and their party off. Shao Qin and Mu Xuan waved goodbye; they were about to go their separate ways.
