"Alright! Everyone go back to your rooms! The teacher has assigned homework, so we must finish it while there's still some daylight!" Mr. Gu, seeing that everything had been discussed, instructed everyone to leave. Xiao Bao could only write in the main room, which was somewhat inconvenient. They needed to build the house quickly and set aside a study.
For such a major family matter, little children weren't required to be present. Er Ya was feeling sad after the beating and lost interest in asking Little Uncle about the wild chicken. After washing the dishes with her older sister, she returned to the east wing room.
Mrs. Fang and Gu Chengli returned to the east wing from the main room. "Da Ya, come with me to fetch some water, wash up, and sleep!" Gu Chengli was so tired that he lay directly on the heated brick bed.
Mrs. Fang, having worked all day in the fields, was extremely exhausted and barely had the energy to speak. All she wanted was to lie down and rest.
