The ox cart stopped outside the town school, and Old Song personally carried his eldest grandson down, instructing him to study well. He promised to make him something delicious when he returned home later in the month.
Yuanbao nodded repeatedly. He thought that his father's long journey was fraught with danger, which made him uneasy. His little face was full of worry as he looked at Song Wei, "Father, please take care. I'm still waiting to show your Prefecture's exam essay to the teacher!"
Song Wei nodded, patting his shoulder, "It's getting late, hurry inside!"
Yuanbao didn't leave and turned to look at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan gave him a smile.
Only then did the little one feel reassured. He waved to his grandfather and parents, turned around with his schoolbag, and headed through the gates of the town school.
Old Song turned the cart around, heading towards the county town.
