Chapter 688: The Meaning of Family (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ah Yu did not lack playmates, nor did she lack family. It was fine as long as they could help when she needed it. There was no need to force other closer relationships.
This was not only what the teacher said. Grandpa had also said at home several times and he had always restrained his family. They could not be complacent and take advantage of others just because they were from Ah Yu’s maternal family.
When Ah Yu heard this, she found it funny at first, but then she felt warm.
She had actually heard of this in the past few days. Not only was the Liu Family led by her grandfather like this, but even the entire Hu Family Village was the same.
The villagers led their own lives. Usually, when they wanted to thank the Wang Family, they would go and help out. They served more and more of their family’s land and paid more attention to renting seeds.
When they thought of Ah Yu, they went to Fairy Yu’s temple to pay their respects and talk.
Most of the time, everyone was either farming, doing business, or working in the workshop. They were diligent in doing small things. They did not seek the riches that others had, let alone use Ah Yu’s name to do things.
Ah Yu and Old man Wang’s family were silently doted on by the entire Hu Family Village and even the entire Nanhe Town.
It was doting and gratitude.
This was also the effect of Old Master Hu and the others constantly mentioning it.
“I know. Thank you, but if you miss me, you can write to me. I’m a Village Lord now. 1 have officials who send me letters and items through the courier station. It’ll be much faster than the commoners!” All Yu blinked and said especially mischievously.
When they heard this, they also laughed. “That’s good!”
Liu Ya said, “Eldest Brother and Second Brother almost lost interest in their studies. Grandpa plans to let them stop studying after this year and become accountants instead. Third Brother’s studies are not bad. He’ll participate in the county level imperial exam next year. He still can’t compare to your Big Brothers, but it’ll definitely be good if he can become a county scholar!”
“What about you guys?”
“Big Sister and 1 are still studying in the village school. Grandma means to let us study for another two years. Our village has agreed with your village that we will open a new silk workshop. At that time, Big Sister will go there to be a small manager. 1 might be the same as Big Sister.” Speaking of this, Liu Yun was very happy. “Originally, Big Sister was not allowed to study, and our family did not have enough money. But now, everyone heard that if we study, we can work in the workshop in Hu Family Village. The salary is good, and we won’t owe money. There are many children in the surrounding villages who study!”
As more and more children went to work, everyone brainstormed from time to time and let the tools of the various workshops in the village be constantly improved. Now, it was even more convenient and fast, and the money they earned was naturally more.
Ah Yu was also very happy to hear this. “That’s great. When 1 take a break next time, 1’11 come back and take a good look.”
“Yes, yes!”
The Wang Family’s women had long prepared all kinds of gifts for their families. The Liu Family’s gifts were naturally also included, and Ah Yu even threw in an additional portion.
But now that she saw her Big Brothers and Sisters, her hands that wanted to feed them started to move again. She asked Tang Yuan to bring a large box of delicious food from the carriage for them before getting on the carriage and leaving.
Tang Yuan was actually very puzzled. The snacks she had brought from Wanning City had long been eaten and given away. There was nothing left at all. In the end, her little master could still let her find such a huge box. It was simply unbelievable.
Of course, Ah Yu would not tell her that she had taken it out of the spatial pocket.
On the other hand, Tang Yuan had long refined the heart of an outstanding personal servant. She definitely did not ask what she should not ask. She only treated herself as a fool, deaf, and mute.
After Ah Yu walked away, the few of them looked at the box in front of them with heavy expressions.
Liu Xiangqin said, “Ah Yu just said that she wanted to go back and repair the tomb. It turns out that she’s not doing well in the capital either. She made these delicious and useful things bit by bit. I can’t bear to eat them.”
Liu Yun: “Is it possible that Ah Yu is talking about a break, not a tomb repair, just like how our teacher will take a break.”
Students usually took a day off every ten days. It was definitely different from the rest that Ah Yu mentioned.
“Wait, if Ah Yu has a long break, does that mean that she’s on duty now?!” Liu Xiangqin and the others’ tears fell. “All Yu is so young, and they’re letting her be on duty?”
Liu Ya: “Not everyone can be on duty just because they want to.”
Liu Xiangqin:”…” Looking at the box in front of him, his expression became even heavier.
For a moment, he did not know if he should feel sorry for All Yu or himself, who was very useless in comparison.
“Let’s study more. Otherwise, not to mention helping Ah Yu and Auntie in the future, in order not to implicate Ah Yu, we might even have to cut ties with her. I don’t want to cut ties with such a good Ah Yu!”
Everyone:”…” It’s not that serious.
How could kinship be so fragile?
Ah Yu and Qin Huai walked at the front, and the others from the Wang Family followed.
Old man Wang and Old Madam Wang stayed in Hu Family Village for the time being. Wang Chuanyuan and his wife had long returned to town, but Wang Chuanman was urged by Old Madam Wang to go in the direction of Chang’an County.
She also took Chang Fu and Chang Shun away. One of them would be left for Wang Chuangui.
Among the remaining grandchildren, Wang Dalang followed Wang Chuanman out this time. Qu Shuqiu and the child stayed in the village.
Wang Erlang, Jiang Wujing, Wang Sanlang, and Wei Qianying, Wang Silang, Zhou Chuchu, Wang Wulang, Wang Liulang, and Wang Qilang all followed Ah Yu to Wanning City.
In addition, Little Lamb and the Spirit Treasure Rat also climbed into Ah Yu’s carriage this time.
Little Lamb simply wanted to follow All Yu, and the Spirit Treasure Rat was provoked by Little Lamb and insisted on bringing it to see Wanning City.
Ah Yu and Qin Huai sat in the same carriage. It was very spacious inside, and Chi Jia and Tang Yuan were sitting outside.
There was also Chi Ding who had no choice but to drive the carriage because he had lost a game of rock, paper, scissors.
Ah Yu sat closer to Qin Huai and lowered her voice to a whisper. “Big Brother Ah You, can you tell me about the assassination attempts when you were young?”
Qin Huai, who was originally reading a book, looked up when he heard this.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to say it. I’ll investigate it myself.” Ah Yu took out a fruit and took a bite. After chewing it, she said, “My memory is too good. Now, 1 suddenly remember that when we first met when we were young, you weren’t very friendly to me. You even said—”
The young man’s ears instantly turned red. “That—was my fault for not knowing. What do you want to know? 1’11 tell you.”
Just don’t bring up the past.
He had once suspected that Ah Yu was a spy when they first met. Every time he thought about it, he felt that he was extremely stupid..
