Divorced woman with child travels through time

When Wang Erniu returned, Chen Wenfang didn't mention Chen Xuanyu to him. However, that little rascal Shiwu noticed and immediately went to tell Wang Erniu. Wang Erniu was so anxious. Luckily, it was nighttime, or he would have stormed into their school.

The next day, after lunch, without telling Chen Wenfang, he took Chu Yi and bought a lot of food, toys, fruit, and other items. He drove his horse to the village school and exaggeratedly said in front of everyone, "Xuanzi, Xiaohao, Shiwu, I've come to pick you up to go play. I've already asked the teacher for leave. Come on, get in the car!"

The children nearby practically followed them out of the school. Seeing this, Wang Erniu took out the gifts he had brought for the teacher and also gave some snacks from his shop to the children who were watching with envy, fully satisfying their vanity.

The teachers happily accepted the gifts. Chen's pastries were famously delicious, but not cheap either. They would occasionally buy some to treat themselves. They also had expensive pastries, which were not something ordinary people could afford. Looking at this big bag of pastries, it must have cost quite a bit of money.

After Wang Erniu and the other children had earned plenty of envious glances from everyone, he swaggered over and led the other children onto the carriage.

After getting on the carriage, they drove for half an hour to the next town, eating and strolling along the way. They kept the four children happily occupied, except for Chu Yi, who was more focused on his career and didn't quite trust the restaurant. He absentmindedly accompanied them as they ate and drank.

Xiao Hao held a candied hawthorn in his left hand and a clay doll in his right, eating as he said, "Dad, will you take us out to play again next time?"

Wang Erniu laughed and said, "It's not impossible. How about this, if you all get excellent grades in your final exams, I'll tell your mother to take you out to play again." He said this offhand without thinking, and immediately looked at Chen Xuanyu with some concern, afraid that he might say something inappropriate or have a bad expression, so that he could apologize.

Chen Xuanyu, though young, was quite shrewd. He understood what was going on, but didn't say anything. However, seeing Wang Erniu's cautious and ingratiating manner, and remembering how good Wang Erniu had been to him and his mother, he said, "Then I'll definitely have no problem. Uncle Erniu, you'd better make sure you do it." Chen Xuanyu naturally knew that his mother was going to marry Uncle Erniu.

Wang Erniu naturally understood the hidden meaning in those words. He squatted down, looked earnestly into his eyes, patted his head, and said sincerely, "Xuanzai, don't worry, I will protect everyone, and I will protect you and your mother even more. Trust me."

Chen Xuanyu nodded at him, thinking to himself, "If you dare to treat her badly, I won't let you off the hook when I grow up."

Fifteen, standing to the side, was munching on a candied hawthorn with both hands, mumbling indistinctly, "I can also play with a magic knife, my grandpa plays with demons..."

Only Shi Tou looked worried. He had finally managed to recognize all the characters, but he couldn't write them well, let alone write articles. In the words of a first-year junior high student, they were utter nonsense. It was really difficult.

Shi Tou took a vicious bite of the roast chicken. If all else fails, he'll have to ask Chu Yi for help. But no, his brother will definitely beat him if he finds out. Perhaps it's because the food has been good this past year, Da Zhuang's height has visibly increased.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Tou shuddered. He couldn't win. So he begged Wang Erniu for mercy, "Uncle, can I choose something else? I really can't get an 'Excellent' grade. Isn't this making things difficult for me?"

"Oh, I forgot about this kid..." Wang Erniu said with a smile. "You're fine, just focus on improving your handwriting."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Uncle." Upon hearing that he didn't have to write an article to get an excellent grade, Shi Tou beamed with joy, grinning with his big white teeth.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yi said, "Uncle Erniu, you don't need to take me out next time. I still prefer to do some work in the teahouse."

Wang Erniu praised, "Chuyi is doing well. He's already a big kid and will surely be able to shoulder great responsibilities in the future."

Chu Yi was genuinely praised by the man she had always considered her father, and couldn't help but smile shyly. She generously replied, "I'm the older brother, so of course I should do something so that I can take care of everyone in the future."

Wang Erniu felt a pang of heartache seeing how sensible he was. He patted his head and shoulder, saying, "You're still young. Play as you please. I'm here for you."

Chu Yi smiled, nodded, and didn't say anything more, but thought to himself, "I won't come next time. It's more fun at the teahouse."

Wang Erniu led the group on a tour of the neighboring town, and after they were all stuffed, he took them back to the teahouse before going about his own business.

Finally, the children arrived at the second floor of their family's teahouse. Leaning on the railing to look at the scenery, they unanimously agreed that most of the food outside was not as good as what they had at their own teahouse, otherwise, how could the business be so good?

Chen Xuanyu looked at the sign hanging on the door and said, "New arrivals today: multi-flavored peanuts and boiled peanuts. Do you like them, Brother Chu Yi?"

Chu Yi smiled and said, "It should be delicious. I heard yesterday that my godmother taught them how to make it in Wangjiazhuang. It must be delicious if my godmother makes it." Chu Yi also wanted to just call her "Mom," but she was too embarrassed to say it.

"Uncle Xiao Er, could you please bring us two plates up?" Chen Xuanyu said politely to Wang Xiaoer, who was delivering the dishes upstairs.

"Alright, young master, please wait a moment." Wang Xiaoer replied with a beaming smile, busy as a bee. It was dinner time, and the teahouse was full of customers. Wang Xiaoer took a moment to reply, "Our master has done a good job educating his children. Even at such a young age, the young master is very well-mannered."

Chu Yi spoke up, "Second Uncle, you go ahead and do your work, don't worry about us." Then he whispered to Shi Tou, "Go to the kitchen and find Chef Wang, ask him to pack some food for you in a small basket and take it to your room to eat. Don't keep them from doing their work."

Shi Tou nodded and left. Wang Xiaoer was even happier to hear this. The children of his employer were so humble and generous. The future of the Wang family was probably limitless. Working for the Chen family, he would have a half-backer in the future. From then on, he worked even more diligently...

The four little ones leaned against the railing, munching on peanuts and watching people come and go below, quite content. Fifteen couldn't help but say, "I'm a little thirsty, Brother Stone, I want to drink some perilla tea."

"Okay, I'll go get a can." Shi Tou responded and went to get it. The perilla drink is a new tea drink that Chen Wenfang has developed, and it is very popular. Chen Ji no longer sells these kinds of snacks and desserts, and many people make them with different tastes. Chen Ji's is still the most authentic and tastes the best, so there are always a lot of customers coming to the store.

Seeing that more and more people were arriving to check in, Chen Xuanyu said, "Let's go to our rooms. We'll block people when they go down the stairs." The others nodded and went to their rooms.
