Chen Ruiyang had long accepted the fact that his mother had passed away. After crying for a while, he began to talk to his mother about the Tai family, the novelty of the trip to the grassland, and the cuteness of the new pony.
Chen Zhao listened to this and felt much better. He was even more reassured to leave his nephew at the Tai family...
Old Master Tai, Third Master Tai and others sat on a tree stump not far away, listening to the faint crying sounds, and felt bad.
Things in this world are unpredictable. It doesn’t matter whether you have money or not. The most important thing is that your family is safe and healthy.
This eternal separation leaves behind so many regrets, it's so terrible...
Early the next morning, the Chen family's convoy was ready, and after Chen Zhao said goodbye to the Tai family, they prepared to head into the city.
Chen Zhao had simply bought some local products in the city these days as a show of force, and with the addition of dozens of fine horses, the caravan heading south was in good shape.
Chen Ruiyang hugged his uncle's arm, rarely showing the dependence of a child.
After all, the uncle and nephew had just been reunited for a short time and had to separate.
Chen Ruiyang choked up and begged, "Uncle, please let me go to the south with you. I will be obedient. I also want to avenge my mother!"
Chen Zhao patted his shoulder and said, "You are helping your uncle by living well here. If anything happens to you, our Chen family will never have a chance to turn things around. I will be back soon. Remember to listen to your stepmother and the old man and don't get into trouble, understand?"
"I understand, uncle." Chen Ruiyang stepped aside dejectedly. Yang Lihua rubbed his head and handed the beads to him.
Chen Ruiyang held his fat sister who was still a little sleepy, afraid that he would fall, and he forgot about his sadness.
Chen Zhao bowed solemnly to Yang Lihua. "Sister, I leave Ruiyang in your care. If he's disobedient, feel free to teach him a lesson. If...if anything happens, please find him a good wife. Just give him children to carry on the family line. Don't seek revenge."
Yang Lihua's heart was heavy when she heard this. She replied, "Brother Chen, don't say that. Ruiyang marrying a wife is a big deal, and you must personally check it out. I believe everything will go well and you will be back soon."
Chen Zhao nodded vigorously, turned to the old man again and bowed deeply, "Uncle, we're leaving!"
"Okay, go early and come back early!" Old Master Tai patted his shoulder and instructed, "If you have free time, be sure to send the letter back and don't let your family worry about you."
Chen Zhao waved to everyone, looked at them one by one, then mounted his horse and drove away with the convoy.
Chen Ruiyang's eyes were red, and he was dragged by Tai Yongyue to feed the pony.
Tai Yonglu looked at the carriage, which had become a small black dot, and whispered, "Grandpa, Uncle Chen buys those things in the city. He won't make any money in the south, and he might not even be able to sell them. Why didn't he bring our cashmere clothes? They must be in great demand!"
Tai Jiye couldn't stand it any longer and slapped his nephew on the back of the head. "Stupid boy, you keep saying you're smart. For someone like you, it's lucky you didn't get sold out and are helping count money."
Tai Yonglu was unconvinced and scratched the back of his head in protest, "Third Uncle, you said I wasn't smart and you hit me on the head!"
Grandpa Tai couldn't bear it any longer, so he took the initiative to help his grandson, who was confused for a while.
"Cashmere clothing is a hot commodity in Tai'an right now, and all of it comes from our family. Your Uncle Chen went south to keep a low profile and investigate the truth behind his family's tragedy. If he had brought cashmere clothing with him, wouldn't everyone know he was from Tai'an?"
Tai Yonglu's face flushed red. The truth was so simple, but he hadn't thought of it.
Grandpa Tai was amused. He patted his grandson on the back and went to the fields.
Tai Jiye was left behind to see how the carriage was made, and Tai Yonglu quickly followed.
He will correct his mistakes as soon as he realizes them. From now on, he will follow his uncle closely, learn everything, and never make stupid mistakes again!
The rain has been particularly good recently, coming almost every seven or eight days, and the sun is also very diligent and rarely absent.
So the crops in the fields grew wildly, especially the corn seedlings, which were more than one meter tall. The corn cobs had also grown out, and the corn kernels were quietly swelling up under layers of outer coats!
Old Master Tai and Third Master Tai were walking together in the fields, looking extremely happy.
"Speaking of the third child, the best thing he did was bring back such good corn from the south. Haha, when I think of the big golden corn cobs filling up the barn in the fall, I can't sleep because of laughter!"
When Mr. Tai San was waving his pipe, he wouldn't feel any pain even if Mr. Corn cut his face.
Old Master Tai was also happy and responded, "That's right. The third brother has a lot of problems, but he's really smart. I should have him travel south more often in the future. Maybe he can bring back something better!"
"It's also because Jicai and the others are not taking on the responsibility. Otherwise, if they took over the grassland business, wouldn't Jiye have time to go south?"
Mr. Tai San gritted his teeth when he thought of his son. If his son were to be placed outside, he would be considered pretty good, but compared with his old brother's son, he was still a lot worse.
Old Man Tai waved his hand and soothed, "My previous trips to the grasslands were all safe and sound, and even I thought traveling by caravan was easy. This time we encountered bandits, but it's a reminder for everyone. That's the grasslands, not our Great Wei. Even in Great Wei, it's easy to encounter bandits while traveling.
"If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I'll lose my life out there! Third brother should come with me on a few more walks through the grasslands. When autumn comes, we..."
The old man patted the corn stalks beside him and whispered, "In the autumn, we'll exchange most of the corn seeds for the border troops. Then we'll ask for more veterans and incorporate them into the caravan. Not to mention entering the grassland, even reaching Luosha won't be a problem."
Mr. Tai San nodded repeatedly, and a look of joy appeared on his face again.
"If you ask me, the best fighting force in our Great Wei is the border army. Since He Shan and Heng Qi came to our village, we feel much more at ease."
Old Master Tai also laughed. "After encountering horse thieves on the grassland this time, these guys in the tribe know they're in trouble. They've been pestering He Shan and the others to learn some skills these days! If you ask me, why not organize a group training and get up early every day to practice for half an hour? If we really run into trouble, at least everyone can protect themselves."
"Yes, I thought so too." Master Tai San laughed, and the two old brothers thought of the same thing again...
The two of them were talking as they walked back from the field. Just as they left the cornfield, they saw Zhuzhu running towards them with sesame balls.
"Grandpa, Grandpa! A carriage has arrived, bringing many goodies!"
Grandpa Tai was surprised to hear this and bent down to hug his fat granddaughter.
Zhimaqiu ran around and barked towards home from time to time, obviously testifying for Zhuzhu!
Third Master Tai leaned on his awning, took a closer look, and exclaimed, "Oh, there are so many carriages coming!" Old Master Tai was even more puzzled, "Could it be that Third Master is in the city buying tea or something? He didn't say anything this morning!"
The two old people and one young boy, along with a dog, quickly rushed back to the village entrance.
