Chapter 160 Departure to the Capital



Jiang Xueying nodded repeatedly: "Of course. In short, everyone, take care of yourselves. We will have a chance to meet again in the future."

Although this opportunity is very slim, it is also a wish for everyone.

Even though they were reluctant to let her go, the villagers still said goodbye to her and asked the three of them to take care of themselves.

Those children who played well with the two children also came to say goodbye to Ye Xiaoyu and the others, and made an appointment to meet again in the future. Children's friendship is always simple, without so much love, hate, and separation, but only the simplest and most sincere feelings.

Seeing this, Jiang Xueying sighed silently.

As the saying goes, no matter how far you travel, all good things must come to an end. This has been the case since ancient times.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone was drinking happily. After all, Jiang Xueying's cooking skills were amazing. Most people had never tasted her food, but they thought it was better than the chefs in the county restaurants.

After the banquet, the village chief specifically instructed Jiang Xueying for a while before leaving.

I was busy with my own family affairs some time ago, and the matters at the store and restaurant have not been finished yet.

While we are busy here, Jiang Xueying is also busy over there.

There are a lot of things to do in a restaurant. Not only do the accounts have to be checked carefully, but there are also other trivial matters to deal with, so it will take a few days to be busy.

She didn't plan to close the restaurant and would keep it open, letting the manager and waiters help look after it. She would pay them the monthly wages and would give them some extra money as a care fee.

Every month, the manager would summarize all matters concerning the restaurant and write them in a letter and send them to her. He would only trouble Mr. Chen if there were things that the store could not handle.

In this way, the people in the restaurant will not lose their jobs and can even earn more.

The shopkeeper and his employees were so grateful and excited that they almost cried. They thought she was going to close the restaurant. If it did, they would have to find new jobs, and the wages would probably be less than half of what they received in the restaurant. So they would work even harder.

"Okay, I won't say anything else. We'll be leaving in a few days. You guys should take care of the restaurant. If there's anything, write to me immediately. If it's urgent, discuss it with Master Chen. Don't act rashly or give others a handle."

The waiters nodded in agreement, and the shopkeeper gave repeated assurances.

"Boss, don't worry, we will do our job well!"

Jiang Xueying nodded and then went home to pack her luggage.

I thought I didn't have much luggage, but after packing, I found that I had more than enough things.

Come to think of it, after all, I've been here for so long, going back and forth to buy things, so there's no way I wouldn't have enough.

But the two little guys wanted to take them all with them, so she could only helplessly say, "No, we can't take them all with us. The carriage won't fit."

"Why not hire a few more carriages?"

Ye Xiaojin wanted to take all his little gadgets with him, as these were his favorites.

Hearing this, Jiang Xueying couldn't help but laugh.

"You are too naive, kid. If we hire a few carriages, it will be too conspicuous on the road and attract people's attention. We should just take the necessities with us and buy the rest when we get there."

As she said that, she picked him up and coaxed him for a long time before he calmed down.

These things are external possessions, so just take the necessary items with you. The capital is the most prosperous area, so what is there that doesn’t have?

It took two days to finally pack up everything. On the fifth day, Jiang Xueying took the children to meet Yu Feng.

Sitting on the spacious ox cart, Jiang Xueying silently looked at the path she had passed countless times and every scenery she passed by. The feeling was familiar yet unfamiliar. It all seemed so real and yet so unreal. She was finally going to say goodbye to this place.

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

Just as she was thinking about what had happened in the past few days, Jiang Xueying heard Ye Xiaoyu's voice in her ears. She turned around and saw the two children looking at her with concern. Then she came to her senses, smiled slightly, and thought that things would be better in the future.

"nothing!"

Having two children in this life may be a gift from God to her.

Yu Feng specially found two of the best horses and bought a carriage with complete accessories. After all, the journey would be long, and the two children would be more comfortable sitting in the carriage.

"Then let's get going. We can't delay any longer."

Seeing that she brought a lot of things, Yu Feng wanted to persuade her to bring less and buy ready-made things when she arrived in Beijing. But then he thought that she was a cautious person and must have lost a lot of things, so he didn't say anything more.

The road was bumpy, and Jiang Xueying was afraid that the two children would be uncomfortable sitting, so she took out the cushions she had prepared in advance.

"Come on, lie down on these mats and have a good sleep. You didn't get much sleep last night because you were busy playing."

As soon as they saw the soft cushion, the two children lay down on it immediately. With the cushion, they didn't get bumped even though the road was bumpy, and they lay comfortably.

Jiang Xueying smiled and looked at the two children lying down, her eyes were gentle. When she thought about going to the capital, she felt a little excited for some reason. After all, it was the capital, and she had to see the scenery of the capital so that it would not be a wasted trip.

In fact, everyone in the village said they would come to see her off, but Jiang Xueying was not used to that kind of farewell scene. She had already said goodbye to several familiar families and left home early today, so she would basically not run into anyone in the village.

The carriage moved slowly. Fortunately, the road was relatively flat and not bumpy, so the two children fell asleep in a daze.

Jiang Xueying leaned against the window, gently lifted the curtain on one side, and looked at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding. A sense of helplessness arose in her heart.

"What's wrong? Can't bear to leave?"

Jiang Xueying was startled by a sudden voice in her ear, but met Yu Feng's sharp eyes.

"no!"

Jiang Xueying shook her head. This place was just a temporary stop for her. It didn't seem so real until now. Besides, she didn't belong here. The transportation at that time was not well developed, unlike the modern hustle and bustle. Once she left a place, she would probably never go back.

The carriage ran relatively smoothly all the way. Even though Jiang Xueying was drowsy on the road, she still felt a little carsick. She really didn't expect that she had traveled all over the country for so many years and took various means of transportation, but she had never felt carsick. She didn't expect that she would feel carsick now.

Jiang Xueying's face turned very pale as she tried to suppress the suffocating feeling in her chest. It was an indescribable feeling.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Xiaoyu looked up and saw Jiang Xueying, whose face was pale, and couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Xueying felt so uncomfortable that she didn't want to talk. She felt like she was going to vomit if she spoke. She could only force herself to open her eyes, wipe her waist bag, take out two pills and put them in her mouth.

This medicine was originally prepared for the two children, but she didn't expect that the person who would use it would be herself. Sometimes some things are really not absolute.
