Chapter 781: Old Man Yang (6)_1
Little Shanzi was very clever and quickly joined in playing with the younger members of the household, but the smart little fellow also vividly remembered his status as a servant and never overstepped his bounds—an attitude likely reinforced by daily reminders from the adults.
Xiaofeng, on the other hand, was delighted, finally having someone to play with him. Although there was Zhou Xiao, he was always following Sanni around and didn’t have time for Xiaofeng. So, now that he had someone to play with every day, he was naturally excited beyond words and even started teaching Little Shanzi to read.
As for Xu Shou and his wife, they were both quite reserved and rarely showed much expression on their faces. However, they were incredibly diligent, probably aware that as bonded servants, they generally wouldn’t be highly valued by their master’s family. Therefore, the couple tended not to put themselves forward and were rather self-aware.
In summary, after observing for a few days, Yang Ruxin was quite satisfied with these new additions.
Though the Yang Family did not publicize the purchase of the servants, the villagers soon became aware of it and did not even harbor feelings of jealousy, for the distance between them and the main branch of the Yang Family had widened again.
The furniture for the new house was being hurriedly crafted by Yang Rulin and his workers. The beds for the main bedrooms had already been moved in, and now they were working on wardrobes and the like.
Yang Ruxin almost daily went over to the rooms to light fires for ventilation and also took the opportunity to clean.
"Big sister, we could actually move in now," Sanni said as she stuffed the last piece of wood into the stove, her small face glowing with the warmth of the flames.
