369 Mother and Son Meet
Wang Qing escorted Ping An to the car and stuffed a package into his hand: "I won't take you to the city gate. I will move back to my own house today. If you are not at home, there is no need for me to stay here. Ping An, thank you very much. Take good care of yourself."
Ping An wanted to take out the gift from Wang Qing, but Wang Qing held his hand and said, "It's nothing, just some money. I don't need it, and neither do you. It's just a token of my appreciation."
Ping An no longer refused: "Thank you, brother. I'll take it."
Wang Qing walked to the side of the car: "Wang Qing greets the eldest master and wishes you a safe journey."
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "Wang Qing, if you have any questions, you can go to my manager, or go directly to Baicaotang to find the shopkeeper. Just study hard."
"Thank you, my Lord."
Wang Qing had just turned around for a moment when Sun Wen came hurriedly with his two sons: "You left very early today, eldest son, I don't want to be an official anymore, why don't I resign."
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "Awen, work hard for a few more years. Ping An may need your support in the future. I told you that when we are fifty years old, we will leave everything to the children and we will travel around."
Ping An talked to Zhi Yuan and Zhi Chen for a while. Seeing that the master had finished talking to the master, he hurried over and bowed to the master: "Ping An greets the master. I will miss you, and you will miss me, right?"
Sun Wen rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you don't study hard, I'll beat you up later."
Then he stuffed a heavy purse into his hand and said, "Not much, just some of your favorite gold leaves."
Ping An grinned, "Master still loves me the most."
Sun Sicheng curled his lips and said, "Master, don't you love me? Don't expect Master to do you any good in the future."
Sun Yat-sen laughed and said, "Let's go."
He got on the carriage safely and it started moving. He took out what Wang Qing had given him and saw that it was really quite large. This was not called a purse, but a small cloth bag, which contained one purse of gold leaves, one purse of silver leaves, and five hundred taels of silver notes.
He put both bags into the cabinet and said, "Mr. and Brother Wang both know that I love money, so they gave me so much, right?"
"Peace, your father is standing at the city gate."
When Ping'an heard what his master said, he stuck his head out to look and saw that his father was really standing next to the city gate, looking over here.
He Jin stopped the car.
Ping An jumped down and Sun Sicheng also got off the car.
"My dear, I am safe."
"Dad, didn't I tell you? You don't have to come and see me off. It's so cold in the morning."
Chang Chunfeng handed over a backpack and said, "After you left yesterday, Dad asked someone to buy some snacks for you. Eat them on the way. I also exchanged some small change for them. It will be more convenient for you to go out. When you are out, you must listen to your master in everything and not take risks. OK?"
"Got it, Dad."
Chang Chunfeng turned to Sun Sicheng and said, "My Lord, Ping An is counting on you to take care of many things. Take care."
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "Brother Chang, take care of yourself too. Ping An is very sensible. Don't worry, he will study hard. We are leaving now."
Lin Feng took the backpack and put it in the luggage cart.
The carriage left the city gate. Sun Sicheng looked through the curtains and saw Chang Chunfeng still standing there without moving.
"Your father is a good person. You should respect him in the future. I heard that your stepmother had a good reputation before marriage, but I didn't expect that she became too selfish after marriage."
Ping An raised his lips, "It's OK. The old man of the Zhang family and the uncle of the Zhang family are both good. The stepmother is also good. I can't blame her for not liking him very much. No one has to like their step-son. At least she is not two-faced. That's the most terrible thing. It's good like this. As long as she treats my father well, it's fine."
"That's right."
The carriage stopped again, and He Jin said, "Master Ping An, someone is looking for you."
Ping An looked and saw that it was his brothers. He jumped off the carriage and walked over with a smile: "Why are you here, brothers? Didn't you agree not to see us off?"
Huang Zhan pointed at the basket in the boy's hand and said, "I prepared some food for you. It's beef jerky and milk cubes. They're from the north. They'll help you stay hungry."
Hao Lei handed over a purse and said, "The money my brothers gave you to go out is not much, just a token of our appreciation."
Ping An took it with both hands: "Thank you, brothers. By the way, my people will send some commonly used medicines to you brothers in the next two days. A man named Da Wu will send it to the Hao Mansion. Big brother will help distribute it when the time comes."
Hao Ting nodded quickly: "Ping An, don't worry about this, I'll do it."
Sun Sicheng also got out of the car, and Huang Zhan and others hurried over to say goodbye to him.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage started to trot again.
"Ping An, you are doing great. I didn't expect so many people to come and see you off."
Ping An looked at his master and smiled: "This proves that I have good character. My good character proves that the master has even better character."
Sun Sicheng laughed out loud: "I don't want to hear your flattery. The official career is smooth. I will read your books later. Do well in the college entrance examination. The master doesn't care, but your husband is obsessed with it. You should give him a small three yuan."
Ping An sighed, "Master, I understand."
*
Twenty-two days later.
Ping An stretched himself lazily: "The long journey is still too tiring, Master, we will be at least three days faster this time."
Sun Sicheng felt okay and sat for a while and slept for a while.
"Ping An, you can only rest at home for two days this time. I will go to your house tomorrow morning to meet your parents and uncle. It's almost dusk today, so I will take people back to the city directly.
I will pick you up the day after tomorrow morning. I will pass by Huainan Prefecture and visit your uncle's family. This is the first time they have not returned home for the New Year."
Ping'an nodded. Awu's aunt was pregnant and did not dare to return to Beijing for the New Year last year.
"Well, take your people back to the village. I have to go into the city. It's getting late."
Ping'an said goodbye to his master. A quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived at the gate of the manor. When the doorman saw that it was Master Ping'an, he hurriedly opened the door to let everyone in.
When Wan Changsheng first saw two carriages coming towards his yard, he was unable to react.
Sun Hongyu on the side scolded him: "Are you stupid? Your son is back, safe and sound. Xier, your elder brother is back."
Wan Changsheng then laughed: "I am really stupid."
Ping'an had already gotten out of the car and hugged Xi'er who rushed over. The little girl turned her face away embarrassedly, and her happy and shy look successfully amused Ping'an.
"Uncle, I greet you safely."
Ping An held the child and greeted his uncle and grandfather. It didn’t matter if the posture was not standard, as we were all family.
"Dad, your son greets you."
Before he could even bend his waist, Wan Changsheng stopped him and said, "No need to greet me, I'm holding my sister."
Erqiang came over and said, "Uncle, uncle, do you miss me, Erqiang?"
Sun Hongyu smiled and said, "Yesterday your aunt was still talking about you. You are already nineteen, when are you going to get engaged?"
"Ma'am, please slow down."
Ping'an looked up and saw his mother and Sanqiang coming out of the house. Even though his mother was wearing a cotton coat, one could see her belly was big, and she was going to give birth in four months.
