The next morning, everyone was ready. Shen Jun and Ye Qing put everyone's luggage into the carriage. Grandma looked at Grandpa and his second son reluctantly.

"Second brother, the house is now in your hands. Take good care of your father and let him do less work. He is old and in poor health."

"Mom, don't worry! I will take good care of my dad. Please take care of yourself."

"Write and tell us if you have anything."

"Don't worry! Nothing can happen at home."

Second Aunt looked at her son reluctantly and said, "Xiao Ming, when you go to Yunzhou, listen carefully to your cousin, your grandmother, your uncle, and your aunt. The city is not like home, so don't run around everywhere. What if something happens to your mother and she lives there?"

Grandma scolded her angrily: "Second daughter-in-law, can you please speak more auspiciously? If you are worried about him leaving, then stay with you so that you won't be able to sleep because of all the worries."

"Grandma, I want to go to Yunzhou. I want to go out and take a look."

"Go and work hard, and don't cause trouble for Xiaorou."

"Grandma, I understand."

Shen Ming looked at his mother again and said, "Mom, don't worry! I will do whatever my cousin asks me to do and won't go anywhere. You can rest assured now, right?"

My second aunt looked at her son, who had never left her side since he was born. She must be reluctant to let him go to such a far place suddenly.

But with Xiaorou and his grandmother by his side, he can feel more at ease.

Shen Rou took out two hundred taels of silver from her bosom, handed it to her grandfather, and said, "Grandpa, these two hundred taels of silver are for you. You can hire someone to build a new tiled house. Next to your new house, build a large tiled house with six rooms for us three siblings, with a large courtyard. Dig a well in the courtyard so that we can have convenient access to water."

Grandpa was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. "How could I ask you for money to build a house?"

"Grandpa, it doesn't matter who contributes money to our family. I make money to make our family's life better."

"My two cousins ​​will be getting married in two years. They'll have children and their current house won't be big enough for them. Now is the perfect time to build a new house and get married."

"We three siblings also want to have our own home, so it will be convenient for us to come back and stay during the Chinese New Year."

"Aren't you used to living at grandpa's house?"

"Grandpa, we live well here, but after my cousins ​​got married, it's inconvenient for the family to have too many people. It would be nice to build a new house so we can live separately."

"Okay then! Just build it next to our new house so we can live together and take care of each other. If you have any other requests, tell me now and I'll do it according to your wishes."

"Like I just said, the kitchen must be big so that the whole family can sit in the kitchen and eat happily."

"I remember."

"Grandpa, can I live in the new house when I come back at the end of the year?"

"The two houses will definitely be completed in about half a year, but Grandpa feels ashamed to ask you to pay for building houses for us elders."

"Just think of it as my mother honoring you."

Everyone in the Shen family looked at Shen Rou with gratitude. They had never expected Shen Rou to pay for a new house for their family. Thinking of this, the whole family was filled with happy smiles as they would have a new house to live in after the New Year holiday.

Shen Xue and Shen Nan were also happy. They would have their own home from now on, where they could live more freely and comfortably. Unlike at their grandmother's house, where everyone treated them well, they still felt like they were living under someone else's roof and couldn't be too casual.

Xiao Nan danced with joy and surrounded Shen Rou, saying, "Sister, when we come back for the New Year, we'll have a new house to live in. It's our own home, it's so great."

Shen Rou touched his head lovingly. Xiaoxue said last time that she was not used to living at her grandma's house, and she felt stable and at ease only after having her own home.

Grandpa's trembling hands tightly grasped the banknotes, tears glistening in his eyes. He said excitedly: "Xiao Rou, Grandpa, I..."

Shen Rou smiled and interrupted her grandfather: "Grandpa, you are my mother's father. Now that my mother is gone, I will honor you on her behalf."

Grandma held Shen Rou's hand, tears of gratitude welling up in her eyes.

"Xiao Rou, grandma doesn't know what to say."

"If you don't know, don't tell me. Just help me take care of my younger brothers and sisters in the future."

"it is good."

Everyone said goodbye to grandpa and second uncle, got on the carriage and headed towards Yunzhou City.
