Chapter 673: Chapter 673: The First Wife Sold by Her Husband 19

Niu Niu looked at her brothers and then at her own little belly, and said in a crisp voice, "Mom, my belly is small, I can eat just one piece, let my brothers have the rest."

"Oh my, Niu Niu is so good, come, let uncle hug you."

"Niu Niu, why don’t you ask for one more piece and give it to Second Uncle, okay?" Wang Hongmin chimed in, teasing his niece.

Niu Niu glanced at her mother and whispered, "Mom, can I... can I have five pieces?"

Yuan Chun had already taken out the candies, giving each nephew three pieces, and handed Niu Niu three pieces too, asking, "Niu Niu, why do you want five pieces?"

"One for myself, one for Uncle, one for Second Uncle, one for Grandma, and one for Mom. One, two, three, four, five, five people need five pieces of candy."

The little one counted on her tiny, tender fingers.

The cuteness melted Yuan Chun’s motherly heart.

Yuan Chun grabbed a handful of candies and stuffed them into her child’s pocket, filling it up, "Mom gives you a handful, share it with Grandma and us. When Grandpa and the others come back, you must give them each a piece too, make sure everyone gets one."

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Oh my, this little one even knows how to say thank you.

The original owner, while a romantic at heart, never neglected educating her daughter. Niu Niu is the only girl in the Wang family’s next generation, adored by everyone, much like the original owner was in her childhood, showered with love.

But under the original owner’s guidance, Niu Niu wasn’t spoiled. She is very sensible, always willing to share whatever she has, understanding the story of Kong Rong giving away pears.

Wang Mu quickly fried the rice and served it to them, "Yuan Chun, Hong Jun, Hongmin, you eat, I’ll go feed the pigs, there’s not much pigweed left at home, I’ll go gather some in the afternoon."

"Mom, I’ll go with you," Yuan Chun said.

Wang Mu couldn’t bear to let her daughter work, "You stay home and watch over Niu Niu, let your elder and second brothers go with me."

"Alright then."

After eating, Wang Mu took her two sons to gather pigweed, while Yuan Chun led a group of little ones to sit under the big tree at the village team entrance.

This place had quite a few stones, where village elders and children liked to sit and chit-chat about village gossip.

"Yuan Chun, you’ve returned from the Imperial City, was it far? How long was the train ride?"

"Yuan Chun, have you been to Imperial University? Did you find He Zhqing?"

"Is it true that the university is full of college students?"

"What does Imperial University look like, is it as nice as the new high school buildings in the county?"

The old county high school buildings collapsed a few years ago, and last year the government funded new construction, still two-story brick houses.

A boy from the village attended high school in the county, bragging about studying in a two-story brick house, making villagers old and young envy him.

Village elders thought two-story brick buildings were the best.

Yuan Chun laughed, "Third Granny, Imperial University is huge, like half of our village, with buildings as tall as four floors, as high as the century-old tree in our village."

"Our county is close to the Imperial City, only fifteen hours by train, and an hour and a half by car from the county after the train."

Third Granny clicked her tongue, "Imperial University’s buildings are that tall, as high as this tree?"

Third Granny stood up, looked at the tree top, and kept clicking her tongue, "Buildings that tall, how were they even built?"

"They have brick tile houses, unlike our mud houses," said an old sister who was close to Third Granny, patting dust off her pants and looking up at the tree top.

Third Granny sat back down, and said again, "Chunyazi, does it really take fifteen hours on the train to reach the Imperial City?"
