Chapter 229: Without experiencing life and death, how could they step onto the battlefield?

No no no, I can't study, I'm homesick, I miss my mother." Kang Wen said, and before Kang Mengxian could flare up, this brat dashed off.

I'll go deliver the books.

Then he was quick with his hands and feet, took the books, and then sprinted off.

Yesterday the person who couldn't get up from sitting on the ground today has recovered his strength.

Kang Wu watched the snatched books, reached out his hand, "I……"

"The fruit drink can't be missed; when I come back tonight, I'll keep you company." Ning Qiancheng smiled and added.

Just……

Kang Wu pulled another book from his bosom, "What I wanted to say is…… I still have one more!"

In a moment, everyone burst into loud laughter.

Kang Mengxian also shook his head helplessly, thinking back a year ago, each a little monkey, wishing to lift the roof off the house.

But now, each child has grown up; principles, circumstances, facts—he can ponder them in the children's words.

"Young master has arrived!"

Kang Wen came and went in a rush, didn't give anyone time to speak, now he's running back, not even out of breath, his smiling face, eyes almost narrowing.

Kang Wu simply couldn't imagine having a face identical to his own……

"Whose young master are you?"

Just then, Kang Mengxian suddenly stuck out his foot and kicked at Kang Wen.

No manners, no decorum.

Kang Wen instinctively dodged, so Kang Mengxian's kick hit air; then, as he nearly did the splits, Kang Wen hurriedly steadied him and patted his own chest.

"Grandfather, if you want to kick me, give me a heads-up."

"I'll obediently present my rear, definitely not dodge."

"Look at you, at your age, still acting up like this? If you throw out your back, you won't be able to move—not to mention I'd have a serious crime of insubordination; I won't say more, I'm afraid the dean will cane me..."

Kang Wen's stern little face, saying it word by word, the key being his serious expression, made everyone feel both amused and exasperated.

To say he's sensible, these words make sense.

To say he's not sensible, just look at Kang Mengxian's unpleasant expression.

"Should we eat or keep others waiting? That's ill-mannered." Jiang Yun Chu raised her eyebrows.

"Eat." The children answered in unison.

Although Kang Wen complained, his hand supporting Kang Mengxian never loosened; instead, he watched the road with extra seriousness.

Their towering grandfather, capable of anything, seemed truly old now.

A mighty procession arrived at Kang Fu.

The Grand Madam and Second Madame waited at the gate; seeing the line of carriages, they hurried out.

"Paying respects to the Princess Consort..."

This is outside, not at home; the proper etiquette must not be abandoned.

"The Princess Consort said, exempted." Zi Su and Bai Zhi each lifted one, responding with cheerful smiles.

Especially Zi Su glanced at the Grand Madam twice, recalling how a few days ago the young lady told her she now had a home.

"Aunt, aunt, sorry for the disturbance today."

Jiang Yun Chu stepped down from the carriage, smiling; perhaps she'd applied lip balm, giving her face a warm glow.

"You, you're family."

Zhuang Miao beamed; after their last talk, their relationship grew closer.

She also took Yun chu as her own child.

"Father, what's wrong?" Jiang Fengsheng saw the old man supported by Kang Wen and hurried over.

The elderly man, his body naturally not as strong as when he was young, especially fearful of any bumps or knocks.

"It's fine."

Kang Mengxian helplessly glanced at Kang Wen supporting him from the side, thinking his heart felt warm—indeed, he was a bit moved.

But……

This careful demeanor made those unaware think he'd contracted some illness!

"Nothing wrong?"

Zhuang Miao also came over with a worried face and asked carefully.

"Cough cough, let's go inside and talk." Jiang Yun Chu gave a light cough, looking at her grandfather's helpless expression, a bit amused.

"Please come in quickly." Zhuang Miao smiled gently.

Then she turned to Kang Ziwei and company, saying, "Bring your companions in; look after your own partners as if they were your own family—no need to hold back."

Seeing the children in uniform academy attire, aside from Kang Fu's kids, the other children all clasped their hands and bowed, saying, "Sorry for the disturbance today."

People are always more lenient with children, especially obedient ones.

"Hurry inside."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see my study." Kang Zhi Xia said cheerfully.

Kang Wen glanced at his grandfather, "Can you walk?"

Kang Mengxian looked at Kang Wen, "I've always been able to walk!"

Kang Wen looked at the stubborn old man, sighing, he really is hard-headed!

"You sure? You can't hide illness and avoid treatment, you know?"

Kang Mengxian looked at Jiang Yun Chu, "Can you drive him away for me?"

Jiang Yun Chu spread her hands, looking helpless, "I like obedient children; I thought my grandfather did too."

Liking is liking, but this isn't the way of filial piety.

These one or two kids, how can they be so aggravating?

After a moment, Zhuang Miao also figured it out; she guessed it was due to her own impulsiveness.

"Kang Wen, go see your companions." Zhuang Miao didn't say anything else, she first sent the person away.

The old gentleman walked with his hands behind his back, doing extremely well.

Only Jiang Yunzhi pressed her lips and held back laughter at this wonderful misunderstanding.

"Your great-grandmother has been missing you for a long time; since yesterday she knew you were coming, she's been missing you constantly."

"You don't know, the old lady hasn't cooked in years, but today at noon she suddenly started cooking and wouldn't let us follow."

When Zhuang Miao said this, she glanced at Jiang Fengsheng; the two exchanged a look, both wearing helpless expressions.

"My great-grandmother dotes on me," Jiang Yunzhi said, her small face full of smiles.

Upon hearing her words, Zhuang Miao was somewhat surprised, but more so relieved.

"Your aunt is also here, with the old lady in the fire room, making glutinous rice chicken, saying you like it most." Jiang Fengsheng walked on the other side of Jiang Yunzhi, chatting casually.

"Yesterday I took them through the trial."

Jiang Yunzhi glanced at the two aunts, then suddenly spoke.

Just...

"Many children have been injured, possibly leaving scars." She hid nothing, being frank with the two aunts.

The children getting injured is inevitable, and this trial is also indispensable; it's the first time, but not the last.

As long as the children are at Chunhua Academy, she will not compromise.

"Yunzhi, I have entrusted my child to you; since I have signed the life-and-death contract, I will fulfill it."

"Without experiencing life and death, how can they go onto the battlefield?"

Jiang Fengsheng smiled, spoke nonchalantly, looking at Jiang Yunzhi's eyes, even with more admiration.

She is reluctant to train, but on the battlefield, no one will be reluctant.

Only through repeated training and repeated experiences can they survive.

There are no invincible generals; no one is born knowing how, they need to fall, to be struck, to be refined.

This is a process that must be undergone.
