Lin Zao didn't want to dwell on it anymore and simply told the driver to take a detour to the market.
Since they were already out, they bought some things to take back to the children, to make up for the regret of not bringing them out to play.
Yaozhou is famous for its silk, so I bought several sets of clothes for each of the children.
Lin Zao also selected several more sets of ready-made clothes made of other fabrics for Chen Wen and Ma Qingping, although they were still wearing tiger-head clothes.
I also bought some Yao specialties, such as lotus root starch, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, and some snacks.
The two children quite like the osmanthus sugar cake made with lotus root starch. Lin Zao had made it a few times before using the lotus root starch that Zheng Ziwen gave her, and Hu Tou and Ya Ya both liked it very much.
The two children were a little disappointed when they ran out of lotus root starch.
I'll buy more this time, since there are more kids now, and they need to eat their fill.
After Lin Zao went on a shopping spree, the carriage was almost overflowing, much to the delight of the shop owners, who rarely saw such a generous customer these days.
Women really do go crazy when they go shopping.
Having experienced the apocalypse, Lin Zao is fine when she doesn't go shopping, but once she does, she can't help but buy, buy, buy, and the quantities she buys are always quite large.
Watching Lin Zao skillfully go on a shopping spree, Tang Jian found it quite amusing. Only at times like this would his wife's eyes light up, revealing a憨憨 (simple and honest) demeanor.
Seeing that the carriage was full, Lin Zao finally stopped, satisfied.
"Let's go back quickly, or the children will get impatient."
The carriage returned smoothly to Tingfeng Courtyard.
When Tian Bu'er saw them return, the mournful expression on his face finally relaxed. The general and his wife were finally back; if they hadn't returned, he wouldn't have been able to manage his young masters.
Chen Wen and Ma Qingping were alright, but it was mainly Hu Tou and Ya Ya who were still waiting, and it was unclear whether they had finally arrived in Yaozhou with their parents.
As soon as Lin Zao and his wife left, the two of them began to let loose and be themselves.
They were fine when he first started teaching Chen Wen and Ma Qingping kung fu.
As soon as they finished, the Tiger Brother and Sister came over and called the two of them over, saying they wanted to go on an adventure.
So he followed a few children and ran around Tingfeng Courtyard several times, touching and crawling into every hole and crevice.
They climb artificial hills, climb trees, and even jump down from them.
He was so frightened that he didn't dare to look away for a moment, afraid that they would do something dangerous. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water.
After most of the day, he was completely exhausted. Why hadn't he ever thought that the young lady and young master were so demanding before?
Is it because he doesn't know how to take care of children?
In an instant, Tian Bu'er began to doubt himself.
Lin Zao and Tang Jian raised their eyebrows in surprise when they saw Tian Bu'er looking like this. What's wrong?
Could it be that the children have gotten into trouble?
Fortunately, the four children who were playing hide-and-seek had already noticed that Lin Zao and the others had returned.
They all rushed towards Lin Zao.
"Daddy, Mommy, you're finally back! Yaya missed you so much~"
Tang Jian swiftly caught Ya Ya, who was lunging at him, while Hu Tou, a step behind, grabbed Lin Zao's leg.
Chen Wen and Ma Qingping stood somewhat awkwardly beside them, saying, "Godfather and Godmother, you're back."
Lin Zao and Tang Jian thought the children were new to the area and unfamiliar with it, which was why they were so enthusiastic in expressing their longing for them.
Upon closer inspection, the two discovered that the children were covered in dirt, mud, leaves, and even ash on their faces.
? ? ?
The couple looked completely bewildered.
What's going on?
