Yu Qianmo, upon hearing this, curled her lips into a smile again. "You have a point. We're all family now, whether we hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony or not. Besides, you've given me a grandson. Teaching you is no trouble at all. Do you have paper and a pen?"
Wen Jiaren rummaged around and found some paper and a pen underneath the cabinet where the medicine chest was kept and handed them to her.
Ever since the start, Mu Xiao's mood had been quite low, but now Wen Jiaren picked him up and said, "Go see what Granny has written. Our Xiao'er recognizes quite a few characters."
Mu Qian returned earlier than Wen Jiaren and Yu Qianmo had expected. Before he even entered, he heard the voices of the three inside. So he lightened his footsteps, and upon entering, he saw the two most important women in his life teaching his son to read. One was smiling gently, and the other was beaming with pride. It was a scene that one would be reluctant to interrupt.
