Chapter 443 Changes in the family
"lady?!"
The SUV stopped outside the Wei family. When the servant saw Shen Xiangwan getting out of the car, he was so surprised that the broom in his hand fell to the ground. Because of his scream, footsteps suddenly sounded in the house. Not long after, Zhao Yuping and Yun Mengyi ran out. With them was the two-year-old little Tuanzi, who was blinking his big eyes and looking at them curiously.
"Late night!"
The two men came in front of her and shouted excitedly. Zhao Yuping couldn't help but tears up her eyes.
"Mother, Master's wife, I'm back to pick you up."
Shen Xiangwan was also a little excited, and opened her arms to hug them. Zhao Yuping was so excited that she couldn't speak. Yun Mengyi quickly pulled her hand and said, "Let's go, let's talk about it when we get back."
"it is good."
Shen Xiangwan let her pull her, but before they had taken a few steps, the little girl hugged Yun Mengyi's legs, looked up at Shen Xiangwan and asked, "Mother, pretty sister, who is it?"
The little girl's speech was not very coherent, but she made her point very clear.
"Little Dumpling, have you forgotten? I am your sister-in-law. You can also call me Sister Wan. We met during the Chinese New Year."
Before Yun Mengyi could do so, Shen Xiangwan walked over and squatted in front of him. The little boy was just like his nickname, fair, tender and round, with a pair of lively eyes like black grapes, big and round. In terms of appearance alone, he had undoubtedly perfectly inherited all the advantages of his master and his mistress.
"Night sister?"
The little girl tilted her head and thought about it, but seemed unable to remember. She looked at her mother for help.
"She is your senior brother's wife. You should call her your senior brother's wife. Also, your favorite electric jeep was given to you by your senior brother's wife."
Touching his head, Yun Mengyi said with a smile on her face. After her son's interruption, she had almost calmed down.
"Ah? So, it turned out to be, Master's Wife!"
Little Tuanzi was very funny, with a look of daze. In fact, anyone with eyes could see that he didn't remember anything at all. He probably just remembered his beloved jeep. Until now, he has been driving it around every day, but everyone will pay attention and will not let him cross the bridge. Ever since Wei Chengyi and his men were driven out, many people with ulterior motives have found Yong'an Village and tried to get close to them, including the villagers of Yong'an Village. If it weren't for the guards left by Wei Chengyi, they would not have been able to live here all the time. They are not afraid of anything else, but they are afraid that someone will attack Little Tuanzi, so he can only play in the ditch at most.
"What a little person."
Pinching his nose lovingly, Shen Xiangwan took out a palm-sized Transformers toy from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him: "A little gift for you, let's go in."
"Okay, thank you, Sister-in-law."
The little boy held the gift in one hand and took her hand with the other. However, after entering the house, he went to the corner to play with the new toy by himself.
"It must be hot on this journey. Have a drink of water first."
Several people sat down in the main hall, and Zhao Yuping quickly poured her a cup of cold tea. It was July, a very hot month, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. "Thank you, mother."
After receiving the tea, Shen Xiangwan drank two cups before stopping. "There is air conditioning in the car, so it's not hot at all. Mother, we conquered the imperial city in early June. We dealt with the dog emperor and all the relatives of the Li royal family, but Chengyi has not yet ascended the throne. First, we want to renovate the palace a little. Second, we have a lot of things to deal with. Finally, there is the Qiang Kingdom. Their army approached the border not long ago. Chengyi has personally led an army of 200,000 to the eastern border. I guess we have to wait for him to come back before we can prepare for the coronation ceremony."
Shen Xiangwan briefly talked about their affairs. It was really simple, as if those things were not a big deal.
But Zhao Yuping and Yun Mengyi both knew how hard their journey had been, and both of them had naked heartache in their eyes. It had taken them more than two months to be exiled from the Imperial City to Chenzhou, and now, it had taken them a full year to fight their way back to the Imperial City from Chenzhou. Moreover, they had to fight as well as restore the captured cities, appease the people, and help them settle down as quickly as possible. Any one of these things is easier said than done.
"There's no rush to ascend the throne. As long as you're all well, I'll be relieved."
With red eyes, she patted her hands and said with a sob. She knew they were very powerful and never worried that they would lose, but she also felt really sorry for them, especially Shen Xiangwan, Mu Yunran and Yue Ruyan. The three of them were women who should have been pampered, but one by one they went to the battlefield. Whenever she thought of that, she couldn't help wiping away tears.
"Ah."
Afraid that she would cry if he said too much, Shen Xiangwan did not say much. He looked around the hall and asked, "Why can't I see Master?"
"He went to pick up the kids."
Knowing that she was trying to change the subject, Yun Mengyi cooperated and said, "Three months ago, the village school was closed. Now the children are studying in the school run by the county government. Wei Jingyi and others have gone there to teach. They will take the children to eat in the school at noon, and someone will be needed to pick them up in the afternoon. The old man was afraid that someone would take advantage of them, so he took the initiative to take over the job of picking them up."
In fact, even if they didn't go to pick them up, the children could still take Wei Jingyi and his family's car back. After all, when they learned to drive, Wanwan gave them a car, and when they left, they also stored a lot of fuel in the warehouse at the workshop. However, the children were too important, and they could only feel at ease if they picked them up themselves.
"Oh? Where is the school built? Do the children go to school for free?"
It was she who proposed the idea of opening free schools in all counties. Although it is currently only implemented in Chenzhou, all parts of the country will follow suit in the future. In this way, not only will all children be able to go to school, but it will also provide a steady supply of fresh blood to the court in the future, and create a real opportunity for poor students to make the leap to success.
"It is built outside the county town, covering an area of more than ten acres. It is said that it can accommodate thousands of students at the same time. The county government has also invited many scholars and scholars to be teachers. Many people would rather get up early and go to bed late to send their children to school. In some villages, everyone pooled money to buy ox carts or donkey carts to gather the children and send them to school together. Our Yong'an Village even directly bought two horse carriages."
Speaking of school, Yun Mengyi smiled more. Compared with three years ago, Chenzhou has changed a lot and people are living better and better. She believes that when these children grow up, they will be able to live a prosperous and healthy life even in the border states.
"It's a good thing. Studying is not the only way out, but it is the best way out. People are willing to pool their money to buy ox carts or donkey carts, which means their lives are really getting better. Our efforts have paid off."
Shen Xiangwan also laughed. So far, Chenzhou was definitely the prefecture where they had put in the most effort. Seeing the people's lives getting better and better, she was happy from the bottom of her heart. In the future, other prefectures would be the same as them.
"Yeah, thanks to you guys."
Nodding, Yun Mengyi smiled sincerely and said, without them there would be no Chenzhou today, and the people are well aware of this, so they support the Wei family so much and hope that they can overthrow the once corrupt dynasty.
