"It's not a big deal. It's just that my relatives had some business in Fengzhen and asked us to go over to help. I was worried about leaving the children here, so I thought of bringing them with me." Wen Shutang nodded slightly and explained patiently to Zhao Sixian.

Hearing this, Zhao Sixian nodded in understanding. Fengzhen was indeed very far away from here, and it would take at least a month to return. Every parent would be worried about leaving their children alone in the town.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sixian immediately understood.

"I see. But this Yue has missed a lot of homework. I am not worried that Aze will have any problems. After all, this child has a good foundation. As long as he reviews the knowledge he has learned before, there shouldn't be any problem. If he works harder after returning, there shouldn't be any impact."

Zhao Sixian pursed his lips and paused before speaking, "But Ah Ye is different. He is young and has not been in the academy for long. His foundation is not yet stable. If he falls behind in his studies for a month, it will have a great impact on him. But this child is quite hardworking and diligent. There are too many variables and I can't say for sure. I can only say that we should try our best not to let the children fall behind and let them review their original knowledge on the way."

Hearing Zhao Sixian's instructions, Wen Shutang felt warm in his heart, thinking that the old man in front of him really cared about the children and really hoped that they could become pillars of society in the future.

"I have also thought about what the teacher said. Don't worry, Aze and Aye are both sensible and good children. They will not neglect their studies just because they are on the road and not in the academy. Besides, the children's father and I will watch over them." Wen Shutang said in a gentle tone.

"Well, I'm relieved that Aze and Aye have parents like you. Don't worry, you can go there. When you come back, I will give the two children a few lessons alone and try my best to make up for what they have missed." Zhao Sixian said with a smile. He raised his hand and stroked his long beard, with a kind look on his face.

He saw how hard these two children worked. A truly ambitious person would not change his level of hard work just because of a change in environment.

Zhao Sixian believed that Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye were definitely not ordinary people and would achieve great things in the future, so he was willing to use all his life's knowledge to teach these two intelligent children.

Hearing Zhao Sixian's words, Wen Shutang was delighted: "That's even better. With the tutoring, the two children won't fall behind too much. Thank you for your love and cultivation of the children."

Zhao Sixian waved his hand and said kindly, "Aze and Aye are the most intelligent children since I opened the academy. I will use all my life's knowledge to teach them, so that they can inherit my legacy in the future, ok? Hahaha."

As he spoke, he laughed heartily, his eyes full of expectations for his two children. He was now thinking about teaching them well, looking forward to the day when Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye would become successful in the future.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. It is my son's blessing to be favored by Master Zhao." Wen Shutang responded with a smile.

"You're being polite. I have selfish motives in doing this." Zhao Sixian let out a long breath.

Of course he had selfish motives. If Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye could achieve something in the future, he would be considered to have excellent students.

Zhao Sixian's lifelong wish is to teach a student who can be named. Now it seems that the people most likely to fulfill his wish are Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye.

After exchanging a few more words with Zhao Sixian, Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo left Mingde Academy.

On the way to Jishiditang, Wen Shutang turned his head and looked at Xiao Yizhuo: "Master Zhao has such high expectations for Aze and Aye, what kind of people do you think the two children will become in the future?"

Xiao Yizhuo looked ahead and said calmly: "No matter what kind of person you become, as long as you have good character and a pure heart, that's enough."

Wen Shutang nodded and said nothing more. She and Xiao Yizhuo had the same opinion. As long as the children were healthy, happy and had good character, Wen Shutang didn't care even if they were simple peddlers.

The two went to Jishidiang side by side. Xue Ming and Ayi were sitting in the lobby for consultation. There was a long queue outside. Everyone was there to see the doctor.

While Xue Ming was seeing the patient and reciting the prescription, Ayi stood beside him and wrote down the herbs used in the prescription on a piece of paper. He then handed the prescription to Afu who was standing at the counter. Afu then collected all the herbs on the paper, packed them up and handed them to the sick people.

Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo did not go in immediately to disturb the patients, but stood quietly at the door waiting.

The two men walked in only after all the patients had received their medicines and left.

Xue Ming washed his hands and caught a glimpse of Wen Shutang and his wife out of the corner of his eye. They immediately started laughing, their eyes narrowed into slits.

"Madam Wen is here, please come and sit down. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell and came to see me?"

Before Wen Shutang could speak, Xue Ming had already begun to look at her face.

"You look fine, your face is rosy, you should be in good health." Xue Ming looked at Wen Shutang suspiciously, then his eyes fell on Xiao Yizhuo who was standing beside him.

As if he suddenly thought of something, he suddenly realized, "Oh, I understand. You two are here to pray for a child, right?"

Hearing this, Wen Shutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why didn't this old man listen to others and just make blind guesses?

Xiao Yizhuo's eyes flickered, and he turned his head to glance at Wen Shutang, wondering what he was thinking.

"No, no, old sir, you misunderstood. We are not here for this." Wen Shutang waved his hands and explained.

"We are going to take Wan'er out tomorrow and it will probably take a month for her to come back. So we are here to ask for leave today. Wan'er will not come to the clinic these days. We will send her here when we come back."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Okay, I get it. No problem. But Madam Wen, remember to go back and tell Wan'er not to be lazy. She should recite the soup recipe song and some pharmacology knowledge I taught her every morning. These things cannot be wasted for a day. I will check it when you come back. If she fails, she will be given a slap on the hand." Xue Ming said with a stern face.

Wen Shutang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Okay, I will definitely supervise Wan'er every day when I go back."

After saying goodbye to Xue Ming, Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo walked out of the clinic.

Wen Shutang wanted to prepare some food for tomorrow, so she went to the butcher shop nearby. Xiao Yizhuo was standing outside the door waiting for her, estimating that she would need some time.

Xiao Yizhuo turned around and went back to Jishidiang. He felt it was necessary to consult the old gentleman about the issue of offspring he had just mentioned.
