Chapter 788 - 376: Female Education_2
The two little brothers, upon seeing Qian Manjiang, called out "Grandpa" and flung themselves into his embrace. The young grandfather laughed heartily as he lifted the boys to take a closer look, then set them down and took Sisi into his arms. Seeing his granddaughter, who resembled his wife, Qian Manjiang felt such a love for her that welled up inside him, and he kissed her several times.
The little brothers didn’t get jealous of their sister, instead giggling foolishly as they clung to Grandpa Jiang’s legs.
De Wa was already over ten years old and had grown into a handsome young lad, dressed in a blue silk long robe, looking very scholarly. This time, Qian Manjiang planned to send him to the Pan Family School, and after becoming a Scholar, he would attend the Songpan Academy.
Now that Qian’s third wife had established a foothold in Capital City, they also began to focus on nurturing the next generation of the Qian family, to eventually aid Qian Yiming and Qian Yiyuan. The two brothers alone were too thin on the ground.
De Wa came over and chuckled, calling "Embroidered older sister." Qian Yixiu had always been fond of this smart little cousin, welcomed him with a smile, and told him not to be polite and just speak up if he needed anything.
Even though they were only separated for a few months, Qian Yixiu saw many changes in Qian Yiming, not only had he grown taller, but his demeanor had also become more mature. He had participated in the family’s major affairs and now understood even more the responsibilities he carried as the eldest son and grandson.
He was too shy to hug Qian Yixiu and act spoiled like he did before, simply holding her sleeve and calling her "sister." Qian Yixiu smiled and pulled him into her arms; he couldn’t help but blush.
When all the others had arrived, Monkey Brother’s family went to warm up to Zhu Sujin and Qian Manxia, while Shan Dian’s family came to get affectionate with Qian Yixiu—people laughing, monkeys howling, dogs barking—it was extraordinarily lively.
Qian Mandua’s family had also arrived, and seeing De Wa, they were thrilled beyond measure. They also discreetly inquired about Lady Tang’s condition, to which De Wa said, "My grandma’s legs aren’t what they used to be; she can’t even walk from her home to Huaxi Village and needs a sedan chair. But other than that, she’s okay, can eat, can sleep. Right now, she only speaks well of Er Gui, who makes it a point to send her clothes and food; she doesn’t think highly of anyone else..." He refrained from mentioning that Lady Tang had been making a fuss wanting to come to Capital City with Qian Manjiang and the others to find Qian Mandua, but was "persuaded" to go back by Qian Ergui and Qian Manhe.
