Time flowed on, unhurried.
Yang Ge's days were once again filled with the trivial matters of life.
During the day, he ran between the Yuelai Inn and Iron Fist Martial Arts School.
Shopkeeper Liu talked constantly of retiring, but in the end, he couldn't let go of the inn's business and arrived punctually every day to work at the inn. Yang Ge, nominally on the shopkeeper's payroll, still did the work of an assistant.
Yang Ge thought this was quite good; many old men spent their lifetimes busy without illness or weakness, their spirits high. Yet, once they stopped working, within two or three years, they declined rapidly.
Keeping the old shopkeeper busy might even help him hold on for a few more years.
Of course, he was also happy to have some leisure time...
After Liu Mang married, he indeed became much steadier.
