After passing Widow Liu's family, Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Si became more vigilant and quickened their pace, and soon arrived at the county town.
It was Qingtian’s first time to visit Fengle County. He looked at the city gate and the city wall with a look of disappointment.
She turned around and asked Sister Ye for confirmation: "Mom, is this the county town?"
"Yes!" Mrs. Ye nodded, "All the furniture in our house was bought in the county town."
Seeing the disappointed look on Qingtian's face, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"The city gate here is so small, and the city wall is so low!"
When they were in their hometown, the Shan couple had never taken Qingtian to the county town.
So in Qingtian’s little head, all his impressions of city gates and city walls came from Shanhaiguan and Tianjin.
Looking at the low city gate and the dilapidated earthen walls of Fengle County, she was a little skeptical. Could such a county really have the delicious food her mother talked about?
After hearing Qingtian say this, Mrs. Ye was stunned for a moment, thinking that most county towns are like this?
When we were outside the Great Wall, the county seat of Huinan County was far inferior to this place.
When Mrs. Ye followed Mr. Ye to the county town to buy furniture, she sighed that it was worthy of being near the capital, and even the county town was more magnificent than the ones outside the Great Wall.
Why did Qingtian look at me with disgust?
After hearing his daughter's words, Boss Ye turned around and said with a smile, "Is Qingtian comparing Shanhaiguan with Fengle County?"
Qingtian nodded when he heard this, and then said, "Tianjin is better than here!"
After hearing this, Boss Ye and Sister Ye couldn't help laughing out loud.
The people waiting in line to enter the city turned around and looked to see who was speaking so loudly.
Only after he discovered that it was a cute little girl did a smile flash in his eyes.
Ye Laodao said: "Shanhai Pass is the best pass in the world, and Tianjin is also a big city. How can a county town compare to it?
"Fengle County is actually much better than many other counties, some of which don't even have complete city walls."
Qingtian opened his eyes wide in surprise and turned to look at Mrs. Ye with a look of confirmation.
Mrs. Ye nodded affirmatively: "Your father is right. The county seat of Huinan County is divided into sections. Many places are so dilapidated that people can walk in with just one step."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Ye realized that Qingtian must have never been to the city before, so he didn't know what Huinan County looked like.
She hugged Qingtian lovingly and promised, "When we go shopping for New Year's goods next year, Mom and Dad will take you to see the capital, okay?
"Those city walls and gates over there must be magnificent!"
"Okay!" Qingtian nodded repeatedly and asked, "Will I be able to see Madam Qin and Brother Qin if I go to the capital?"
These words immediately stumped Mrs. Ye.
Qingtian didn't know it because she was a child, but she knew the status of the Qin family.
Especially after arriving in Rongxi Village, a manager of the Qin family would be so popular that the clan leader and the village chief would rush to curry favor with him.
Our family is just an ordinary farmer's family, and our status is far inferior to theirs.
It was a rare fate that we were able to walk together on the road.
But after returning to the capital, given the status of Mrs. Qin and Young Master Qin, it was not possible for them to see each other just because they were family members.
However, she couldn't tell Qingtian these words, and even if she did, Qingtian might not understand.
So Sister Ye could only rub Qingtian’s little head and say, “We’ll see what happens then.
“At the end of the year, Madam Qin and Young Master Qin must be very busy.
"They may not be free when we go into town!"
Although Qingtian didn't understand why, he could hear the helplessness in Mrs. Ye's words, so he nodded obediently and said, "Mom, it's okay if I can't see you.
"Anyway, I haven't even finished memorizing the poem that Brother Qin wrote for me!
"I'll go play with her in the city later when I've memorized everything."
"Okay." Mrs. Ye thought that there were many pages in the booklet and she would not be able to memorize it all in a short time, so she agreed first.
Fortunately, it was their turn to go into the city, so the topic ended there.
After entering the city gate, Qingtian saw that the city was quite lively. He got rid of his previous disappointment and sat in Mrs. Ye's arms, looking around.
Not far away is the busiest street in the county.
There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, with signs hanging in layers, which is dazzling to look at.
There are waiters standing in front of many stores, with smiles on their faces, constantly introducing the things in their stores to passers-by, trying hard to attract customers.
The aroma of various foods also came from all directions, making Qingtian swallow his saliva.
"What do you want to eat? Mom will buy it for you." Mrs. Ye said this very straightforwardly.
With the fifty taels of silver as a foundation, she no longer has to live as frugally as before.
Especially for Qingtian, he was willing to spend money and wanted to treat her as well as he could.
On a sunny day, I looked left and right, not knowing what to choose.
She had never even seen many of the foods in these stores.
Finally, Qingtian pointed to the distance and said, "Mom, I want to eat candied haws."
Mrs. Ye was both amused and helpless: "There are so many delicious foods, don't you want to try them? Why do you have to eat candied haws?"
It’s not that Qingtian doesn’t want to try other things, but she is still a little worried about something she doesn’t recognize, fearing that it might be too expensive.
But she had eaten candied haws before and knew that they were delicious and not very expensive, so after looking around, she finally saw a figure carrying candied haws.
When Ye Laosi heard Qingtian say that he wanted to eat candied haws, he immediately quickened his pace and soon came to the old man selling candied haws.
