When Zhao Dashu returned to the end of the village, he went to the teacher's house. He wanted to tell the teacher's family that he would not be coming back and see when they would start to return to the city.
As for the things I brought back, I will send them over later.
"Da Shu, you're back. Where's my kid?"
The old woman has been happy staying in the village these days, and she looks more cheerful and lighter than when she first came.
Zhao Dashu went over to support her. "The teacher has already gone to the academy. The exam will be held in February next year. Time is very tight. I have delayed the teacher too much in the past few days. So he will go to the academy right after we finish the exam."
"He has already returned to the academy? What about us? When will we return to the capital?"
Their son was no longer teaching in the village, so there was no need for them to continue living there. They missed their son so much after not being home for a few days. They had already agreed before their son left that they would leave after the exam and go back to their own home.
No matter how good this place is, it is not their home after all, and people still have to return to their roots.
"If you want to go back to the city, I will send someone to escort you back, don't worry, old lady."
"Is he doing well in the academy?"
"Very good. I visited it twice before I left. The master lived very well there. He said the teachers were also very good and the people sitting next to him were also very happy."
"That's good, that's good, Dashu," the old woman took his hand, "I heard that you and Lei Zi both passed the exam? Not bad, not bad!"
"It's all thanks to the teacher's good teaching. He has been very concerned about us."
"That's because you're diligent and eager to learn. We may not be able to wait for you to hold the wedding banquet. We have packed our things. We would like to leave for the capital the day after tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?"
"So urgent?"
"We can't rest assured that he is alone in the capital city. It will be more reassuring if he returns early."
Yes, if they go back, the Master can often go home to sleep for a night, and there will be someone to take care of his household affairs and nourish him from time to time.
"Okay, I'll arrange a carriage to take you back. Just pack your things and I'll prepare everything else."
"Thank you very much for your trouble."
"Old lady, please don't be polite to me. The Master is like a teacher to me."
The old lady patted his hands. Her son had always said that Dashu and Xiao Lei were good people. Now she thought they were really good people. Everything they said and did made people feel comfortable.
"Wait a minute!" She and her daughter-in-law made two sets of clothes for them. They were not precious, but just a token of their love.
"Aunt and Wen have made a few sets of clothes. If you and Lei Zi pass the exam, we don't know what we will give you. Don't be disgusted."
"What are you talking about, old lady? The clothes are very beautiful. I will wear them tomorrow." She gestured on her body a few times and said, "Look how neat the stitches are. The old lady's craftsmanship is no worse than the ready-made clothing shops in the county town."
Just a few words made the old lady smile from ear to ear.
After returning home, Zhao Dashu began to arrange for the return of the Master's family to the city. They were moving, and had bought a lot of things in the past few days, so they had to prepare enough carriages.
