Having made up his mind, Yang Zaizhao also didn't sleep and first got out of bed swiftly to clean the room thoroughly, neatly folding the quilt, and then opened the door.
Old Granny Wu was helping Old Madam Ding prepare the face-washing water, and as she stepped out of the kitchen, she heard the sound of sweeping.
Lifting her gaze, she saw Yang Zaizhao holding a broom taller than her, diligently sweeping the courtyard.
She couldn't help but smile, feeling satisfied; it seemed the newcomer was perceptive, not someone who would cause trouble relying on past connections with the family.
Once Yang Zaizhao had finished sweeping the courtyard, everyone started to get up.
Following old customs, Old Granny Zhang, Wang Yongzhu, and Song Chongjin ate in the room, while Old Granny Wu, Old Madam Ding, and Yang Zaizhao ate in the kitchen.
After Song Chongjin finished breakfast and went to the Academy, everyone got busy with their own tasks.
