"Nannan, your snacks are delicious. I've never seen this kind before!"

"This is what the Young Boss usually brings over. I can't finish it all by myself. There's so much left over. Come often and help me share a little. Otherwise, it would be a pity if they are left and expire after a long time."

"How can you let such delicious food go bad?! We'll drop by often to help you eat from now on!"

"That's a deal!"

"Uh-huh!"

There were also children eating and gradually their attention was drawn to the piled papers on the table. "Nannan, did you write these words? It's beautifully written!"

"It wasn't me who wrote it, it was Brother Axiu; and there's so much more he can do!"

"Wow! Awesome!"

"Uhm, Brother Axiu… can you teach us to write?"

"Shengsheng, teach." He replied rigidly.

Liu Yusheng puffed out a laugh, "Brother Axiu doesn't like to talk. I'm his apprentice. I'll teach you what you want to learn."

"Nannan and Brother Axiu can write. But what about you, Young Boss? Can you do it?"

Qian Wanjin grinned. "You bet. In addition to being literate, I can also calculate and account books. What do you think? Do you want to learn from me too?"

"Yes, yes!"

"No problem, I'll teach you sometime!"

Now that life was better in the Xinghua Village and there was silver money in their hands, families were sending their children of the right age to private schools. The only ones left were a bunch of four, five, six-year-old turnip heads, who spent the whole day catching chickens and ousting dogs.

In the main room, one of the elders was lying in bed with his eyes closed, while the other was sitting in the doorway to nab the soles of his shoes, listening to the excitement in the yard and sometimes smiling.

A place with children was always full of fun and joy.

"Nannan, we are going to catch loaches in the field tomorrow. Why don't you come with us? It's spring planting now, and those loaches are fattening up over the winter!"

"Fine, you guys come and call me tomorrow. I'll be there with Brother Axiu!"

"I'll go too. There's not much going on at the restaurant lately. I'll stay in the village for a few days before I leave."

The children cheered. It turned out that Nannan was very approachable. As for Brother Axiu, his face seemed less scary. Even the rich Young Boss was very friendly to them, not at all what the adults portrayed them to be.

Amidst the cheers, a muffled cry from outside the courtyard sounded, sharp and poignant, and getting closer.

Liu Yusheng frowned, stood up and ran out.

The children saw it and hailed to follow.

Without the clamor to hide it, the sound of crying became clear.

As soon as she reached the door, she saw a woman holding a small figure, running madly in front of her, with a group of people behind her in pursuit.
