Before leaving, Wen Wan made a special trip to the county town with Jinbao.
Father Wen ran a grocery store on the busiest main street in the county town.
Besides having Wen Shun follow him around to learn and gain experience, the family also hired a helper.
The store's layout was a front shop with a backyard, where items were sold up front and people lived in the back.
Upon seeing Wen Wan with her grandson, Father Wen was overjoyed, handed the shop duties to the helper, and took them to the living room in the backyard to sit. He then asked Mrs. Zhou to quickly buy a plump chicken to stew for his daughter's meal.
Wen Wan originally intended to say it wasn't necessary, but thinking that once she left, she wouldn't know when she would see her father again, she swallowed the refusal that had risen to her tongue.
