Capítulo 178: Let's Stop for Now

Wang Zongsheng finally relaxed. "Child, thank you!"

Yuan Jiaqi hadn't gone to the academy yet; he said the classes would resume mid-March. During this time, he had been studying with Old Master Wang.

Mid-March? That's not long before the imperial exam.

The weather was still cold, with snow gradually melting during the day but freezing at night.

However, this was beneficial as a sudden thaw after so much snow would lead to flooding.

In previous years, people were already working in the fields by mid-February, but this year, they were cooped up at home with no chance to grow crops.

Tianshui Town's residents were better off as they received relief food and firewood, resulting in fewer casualties and no starvation.
