Seeing Mu Jingheng receive so many red envelopes, her little cousin became envious. She suddenly wanted to receive lots of red envelopes too, and she also wanted to eat at her own banquet.
She hasn't had a banquet in a long time, and she's craving one. She can't decide what to do at other people's banquets, but surely she has the right to decide what to do at her own, right? (Kid, you're overthinking it. You have even less right to decide what to do at your own banquet.)
Before they knew it, Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning's trip to Kyoto had arrived.
Xu Xinning wasn't nervous at all; she had excellent mental fortitude. On the contrary, Grandma Xu and Yang Chunqin were quite nervous.
It is said that the current mistress of the Mu family is Mu Jingheng's stepmother, and Mu Jingheng has always been at odds with him. The Xu family is worried that the stepmother will secretly bully Xu Xinning.
Grandma Xu and Yang Chunqin prepared many things for them to take to Kyoto.
It's said that being overly polite is never a bad thing, and they did everything they could think of for Xu Xinning.
At this time, Shen Yuqin, who was far away in Kyoto, had no idea that her nemesis was about to come and deal with her with his helpers. Ever since Mu Jingheng went to the countryside, she felt that she was living a comfortable and pleasant life.
Mu Zhenting is often away from home. Not long ago, she reconciled with her childhood sweetheart, and the two are currently very much in love. She has finally experienced the happiness of being cared for and cherished.
Perhaps because her body and mind were nourished, Shen Yuqin's complexion and skin improved a lot. When she went to work, her colleagues asked her what the secret to her improved skin was.
Mu Zhenting and the old man both received the news that Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning were going back to Kyoto, but Mu Jingheng said that he didn't want anyone else to know except the two of them. Seeing how serious his tone was, Mu Zhenting and the old man agreed to his request.
It's unclear whether Grandpa Mu has discovered something, but recently, besides Shen Yuqin's childhood sweetheart, there's been another person by his side. This person isn't a soldier; it's said that he's a top soldier from some military region, with exceptional skills.
Because of this new person by Grandpa Mu's side, Shen Yuqin's childhood sweetheart, the orderly, became much more relaxed.
It has to be said that women can be really amazing when they go crazy. Xu Xinning was so shocked when she saw what Grandma Xu and Yang Chunqin had prepared that she couldn't close her mouth. She couldn't imagine how she and Mu Jingheng would move all these things if they didn't have a space. They would probably die of exhaustion on the way.
On the day the two went to Kyoto, Yang Chunqin drove a tractor to take them to the county station.
They had to take a bus from the county station to the provincial capital, and then take a train from the provincial capital to Kyoto.
In those days, cars didn't have a designated place to put luggage. All the things the Xu family had prepared had to be placed on the roof. Many of the larger pieces of luggage were placed on the roof, and after everything was in place, they were wrapped in thick tarpaulins and secured with ropes. If the ropes broke halfway through the journey and something was lost, that was just bad luck.
In those days, there were no insurance policies or extra charges for luggage, so if you lost your belongings, you lost them; the driver and the passenger transport center wouldn't compensate you.
Yang Chunqin took the person to the station, but because tractors were not allowed to stop there, she had to go back first.
Seeing Yang Chunqin leave, Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. With Yang Chunqin watching them, they had no chance to put the items into their spatial storage.
Looking at the four sacks of stuff on the ground, Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng both laughed. They really had everything: rice noodles, sweet potato vermicelli, cured meat, dried mushrooms, dried shrimp, dried razor clams, dried sand clams, dried salted fish, dried kelp, seaweed, dried wild vegetables, and lotus root starch. Knowing that Grandpa Mu liked dried sweet potatoes, Grandma Xu even made some soft, sweet dried sweet potatoes for him.
Grandma Xu felt that the elderly liked to wear cloth shoes made by herself, so she made several more pairs for them.
Xu Xinning probably brought all the family's stock.
These four sacks do not include Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng's personal belongings.
If the two of them really had to carry so much stuff, they'd probably have trouble even getting on the train.
Trains in this era were not as orderly as they are in later times. Getting on and off the train was entirely by squeezing. If you were unlucky, you might not even get a seat.
It's impossible for them to store the items into their spatial storage in front of so many people; they need to find a secluded place.
Mu Jingheng looked around and his eyes fell on the handcarts in the station's storage area. He said to Xu Xinning, "Wife, I'll go borrow a handcart from there. Let's find a place to put the things into our space."
Xu Xinning nodded.
Mu Jingheng ran away, but Xu Xinning's eyes followed him the whole time.
Xu Xinning watched him run to the storage area, and she didn't know what he said to the lady there. She only saw that everyone was smiling happily and even craning their necks to look in her direction. Not long after, he returned pushing the bike.
The two loaded their belongings onto a handcart and headed to a small alley not far from the station.
On the way, Xu Xinning asked Mu Jingheng curiously, "What did you say to the comrades there just now? They all seemed to be laughing quite happily."
Mu Jingheng: "I told them that my wife is newly pregnant and I'm very nervous. We're going to Kyoto, and my family has brought so many things for our relatives near the station that I can't carry by myself, so I'm borrowing their handcart."
Xu Xinning looked puzzled and asked again, "Did you give them a deposit?"
Mu Jingheng: "No, I only showed them our train tickets."
Xu Xinning: "They're just going to lend it to you like that? Aren't they afraid you won't return their stroller?"
Mu Jingheng: "People are very enthusiastic these days. Besides, if we want to go to the provincial capital by train, we can only come here to catch the train."
Well! There are still more good people than bad in this era!
The two arrived at the alley. One stood by as a lookout while the other quickly put everything into his spatial storage. The whole thing was over in less than a minute. In the end, he only left a personal bag, which could be used as cover when taking things into his spatial storage later.
On the way back, Mu Jingheng put Xu Xinning in a stroller, and he pushed it along.
Mu Jingheng looked at Xu Xinning and joked, "Wife, you're pregnant now, you need to be aware of that."
Xu Xinning rolled her eyes haughtily, "Who are you calling 'wife'? We're not married yet. Don't let people laugh at us if we get used to calling each other that."
Mu Jingheng snorted, "You are my wife. Anyone who dares to laugh at me, I'll beat them so badly they won't even recognize their own mother."
Xu Xinning: "Who do you mean, 'father'? That sounds awful. You're not allowed to call me 'father' anymore."
Mu Jingheng chuckled and shamelessly said, "I'm the father of our child, wife, I want to have a child with you."
Xu Xinning realized that this person didn't really want to have a child; she was probably just preoccupied with the process before childbirth.
The alley is close by; I'll be back in just a few minutes.
Mu Jingheng pushed the bike to return it, while Xu Xinning waited at a distance.
