Chapter 209 - 105: Bringing Good News Home_2
After Shi Fengju finished lunch at the restaurant, Sang Yufei hired a carriage, cupped his hands to say goodbye, and returned first, still wearing his square scarf and a semi-new, not old indigo gown.
Upon hearing that his younger brother had returned from taking the exams in Hangzhou, Sang Hong and Mrs. Fang were both overjoyed and came out to welcome him, discussing the situation after being parted from each other.
"Take a good rest at home for two days! The news should arrive in a few days too! It’s okay, coming back is what matters. Even if you didn’t pass, there’s always next time! You’re only nineteen this year, still young! Think of it as gaining some experience and practice on the field!" Sang Hong said with a smile.
"Yes! It’s good that you are back! The most important thing is your safety! One day you will pass the exam, and even if you don’t, coming back to farm is not bad either!" Mrs. Fang said with a laugh.
"Hey, what are you saying!" Sang Hong felt a bit defensive; Mrs. Fang’s words were almost the same as what he thought deep down, but he felt somewhat unhappy hearing her say it out loud.
Not to be outdone, Mrs. Fang glared back at him, straightly saying: "What’s wrong with saying it like that? There’s nothing wrong with it! Isn’t life just like that? We all need to eat and dress and live our days; we can’t just stick to one path forever! Third brother, don’t you agree?"
Hearing his brother and sister-in-law quarrel after a long time felt intimate and warm for Sang Yufei, and he couldn’t help but glance at his older brother and nod with a smile: "Sister-in-law is right; that’s exactly the point!"
"Exactly!" Mrs. Fang snorted and said: "See, the third brother understands!"
