Chapter 668 The children's car made by Lu Erbai
Shu Yu raised her eyes, looked at the tall city gate, and let out a long breath.
"Do you think my parents will be happy to see me?"
They came today, but no one told them. Shu Yu planned to give Lu Erbai and the others a surprise.
This was her second time visiting Heichang County. The last time she passed through, she kept her head down the whole way and didn't really take a good look at the place.
This place is very close to the border, so compared to Jiangyuan County, the city walls of Heichang County are much taller, but its economic development is still not as good as that of Jiangyuan County, even though Jiangyuan County is not a very wealthy place either.
Shu Yu sat on the carriage shaft, driving the carriage behind Ma Lu and the others' mule cart, watching and muttering to himself.
Before long, the car stopped in front of the county government office.
The Hou family, mother and daughter, still needed to complete the formalities with the officials, so they had to be left here temporarily.
After they got off the mule cart, Shu Yu said, "You go ahead and take care of your business. I'll go back to see my parents first, and then I'll come back to pick you up and take you to the post station later."
We should help people to the end and see things through to the end. It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer, since it's still quite a distance from here to the post station.
Before Hou could say anything, the official who got off Ma Lu's mule cart spoke up happily, "Alright, Miss Lu, you can go back and have a good talk with your parents first. No rush, we'll be waiting for you at the wonton stall over there once we've finished."
After he said that, Hou Shi found it difficult to refuse, which was originally her intention.
She smiled at Shu Yu and then followed the officials into the yamen.
As soon as they left, Ma Lu cupped his hands in farewell to Shu Yu, saying, "Miss Lu, we still have to rush to the prefectural city, so we'll be going now. See you later."
Take care.
Ma Lu and his mule cart quickly drove away until they were out of sight, at which point the old lady said, "This place is closer to the courtyard we rented, let's go home first."
"Okay." Following the direction the old lady pointed, Shu Yu quickly turned the car around and drove towards the Lu family's house.
The house the Lu family rented was relatively quiet, and the surrounding environment was also nice. Although the yard wasn't big, it still had one more room than the house in Liufang Lane, Jiangyuan County.
The mule cart stopped in front of the Lu family's house. The old lady got out of the cart and was surprised to see the locked gate. "It seems your father has gone out too."
Shu Yu turned around and helped Da Hu and San Ya out of the car. Hearing this, she turned back and asked, "Do you have the keys?"
"I happen to have one." The old lady reached into her pocket and pulled out the key.
Upon opening the door, Shu Yu's attention was immediately drawn to a children's stroller in the yard.
Is this the car her father made? Although Shu Yu provided the blueprints for the children's car, she hadn't seen the finished product yet.
It was with this car that Lu Erbai managed to close a deal with the largest carpentry shop in Heichang County.
However, this car can only be used on flat ground, and the road in Zhengdao Village is full of potholes, so Da Hu and his companion did not take the car with them and left it in the courtyard here.
The two of them were clearly not satisfied yet, and as soon as they saw the car, they ran up to it.
Da Hu shoved San Ya into the car and pushed from behind, and the two of them started going around in circles in the yard.
"Second sister, look, this is what Dad made for us, it's so much fun!" Sanya was very excited. "I can't drive that big mule, but I'm very good at driving this little cart. Second sister, come on up, I'll take you for a spin."
