Chapter 450 They've blocked my way.
"No, Nuan! Why? You treat me like this as soon as you come back, it's not fair!"
The old man followed behind Jiang Nuanzhi, his expression gradually becoming resentful.
However, when he met Jiang Nuanzhi's dark eyes, he felt guilty and shrank back.
"Um, Nuan, I know I was wrong. I promise I won't run around like that again. Um, are you tired? Let me hold Baozhu for you."
Jiang Nuanzhi paused, then looked at Baozhu: "Do you want your Grandpa Jing to carry you?"
Baozhu immediately shook her head violently: "No! I want my mother."
Jiang Nuanzhi then glanced at the old man, as if to say, "See, it's not that I don't want you to hold me."
"Okay, then Mommy will give you a hug. Mommy brought you gifts. Let's go see the gifts later, okay?" Jiang Nuanzhi said, rubbing Baozhu's little nose.
“Okay!” Baozhu wrapped her arms around Jiang Nuanzhi’s neck.
Upon hearing this, the old man followed closely behind, saying, "What did Ah Nuan buy for me? I want to see it too. Ah Nuan, don't be angry. I clean your room every day, just waiting for you to come back."
As he spoke, he jogged forward with a fawning smile to open the door for Jiang Nuanzhi, making an exaggerated gesture of invitation.
"Ah Nuan, come home~" he called out in a drawn-out tone.
Looking at him, Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't even muster the anger she wanted. She held it in for a long time before finally bursting into laughter, but immediately suppressed it. She turned her head away to avoid him learning his lesson and acting so carelessly again.
After being away for several days, the big snowman in front of my house had become gray and dusty from all the wind and frost, but its smile was still as bright as ever.
Big Black ran up to Jiang Nuanzhi's feet and rolled around in circles. Even as soon as Jiang Nuanzhi entered the gate, the geese started quacking.
Chicken Big and Chicken Two walked with elegant steps, craning their necks and tilting their heads to look this way.
It has to be said that Jiang Nuanzhi's heart finally settled down after staying outside for several days and entering her own courtyard.
The window paper on the windows is still the same few pieces, patched up with broken glazed tiles, still looking ugly.
The medical book she had half-read the night before leaving was still on the table, but it had been closed for her, and there wasn't a speck of dust on it. The pharmacy was also spotless, and the herbs that had been drying before she left had been put away, looking no different from when she left.
Her gaze shifted to Ping'er's thick stack of books, and Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback: "Is Ping'er going to the government office today? Did he say when he would be back?"
“Mother, I know!” Xiao Er said, “Brother, Brother Fusheng, and Dean Yue went together. They said they would come back together after filling out the registration forms. They went in our family’s oxcart, and everyone in the village went in our car.”
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded, then waved her hand and said, "Okay, on this special day, let's set up a table and have something good to eat."
She herself hadn't had anything she liked for days, and homemade food was always the best.
He then put the pearl down and said, "I'll go change my clothes and come back to prepare the food."
Upon hearing this, the old man was overjoyed, even jumping up and down, following Jiang Nuanzhi around obsequiously.
Dongzang and Linchun were both dumbfounded.
"You are blocking my way."
Suddenly hearing a sound behind them, the two instinctively turned around and saw Xinbo's face, which immediately filled them with terror.
"General Xin!"
The two spoke in unison, and upon closer listening, one could detect a slight tremor in their voices.
"Your subordinate Dongcang greets the General."
"Your subordinate Lin Chun greets the General!"
The two immediately performed a standard bow, with Dongzang's eyes almost bleeding from staring so wide that his face was flushed.
So, the general is really still alive?
Then, Xinbo glanced at the two of them, then walked past them, chasing after the direction Jiang Nuanzhi had left in, and said, "Madam, would you like some water? We have hot water, cold water, and both hot and cold water."
Winter Storage: "!!!"
Lin Chun: ".!"
As the sun sets, amidst the vast snow-covered landscape, Dean Yue, whip in hand, hums a little tune as he slowly drives his donkey cart along a country road.
Even in the twilight of winter, the wind still stings one's face.
The young men on the donkey cart seemed to be talking with boundless passion, their cheeks flushed, whether from the cold or from the excitement of the small exam in a month.
Dean Yue sat at the front, cracking his whip, wiping the snot from his frozen nose, and said with a smile to the boys behind him, "We're almost home."
Everyone nodded and thanked them again.
At this moment, Li Junping took the hand warmer from his arms and gave it to Dean Yue: "Master, let me warm you up, you can hold it."
Dean Yue waved his hand, revealing a mouthful of white teeth with a smile: "Here you go. If you dare to freeze your hands again, I'll teach you a lesson."
As he spoke, he stuffed the hand warmer that Ping'er had handed him back into his arms, and pulled the blanket on the carriage towards Ping'er, covering his legs.
This hand warmer was originally given to his apprentice. It was too cold in the academy before, and the boy, who was always focused, got frostbite again after holding his pen for a long time.
"This year, all of you are going to be able to take the exam. You'd better do your best. When the results of the preliminary exams come out, that will be the time when my Rock Academy will be famous. I'll buy more charcoal then, and make sure you all have a warm fire to burn. The children in the future will definitely not get frostbite anymore. We'll also build a statue then. Hehehe, sculpt it for me to be handsome, tall and majestic. Let me have a moment of glory too."
As he spoke, he shrank his neck and sniffed, his eyes sparkling as if filled with boundless dreams for the future.
Li Junping also twitched the corners of his mouth, then moved closer to his master and placed the hand warmer between the two of them: "Put it on your back so I can warm my hands too. When your hands get cold, put them on your back to warm them up."
Dean Yue frowned, about to speak, when he saw several carriages blocking the road ahead, and he barely managed to stop the donkey cart.
"You audacious commoner, why don't you move aside when you see the royal carriage? What are you standing there for?"
"Royal?" Dean Yue wiped his nose, rolled his eyes, and looked over. The bright yellow decorations on the beautiful and luxurious carriage were indeed those of a royal family. The next second, his gaze fell on the phoenix with outstretched wings carved on the carriage, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Immediately afterward, he laughed and bowed, saying, "Oh, sir, look at what you're saying, I'll make way right away, I'll make way right away."
As he spoke, he spurred his bicycle and headed off into the snow.
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you," the guard in front sneered.
However, the next second, the leading guard slapped the person who had spoken: "So much talk? Hurry up and get going."
Then, the man glanced at Dean Yue, quickly drove his carriage past Dean Yue's donkey cart.
Zhao Yuniang was sitting in the carriage, still feeling a bit weak. When she heard the sound, she lifted the curtain and peeked out. Then, her eyes flashed with intense light.
"Liangchen! Liangchen, is it really you? Listen to the car, stop the car immediately!"
