Chapter 131 No Intention to Stay
After explaining everything that should and shouldn't be explained, Chen Chunxing returned home and took a careful bath.
Although it is March, it is still a bit chilly at night. In ancient times, conditions were limited and baths were not possible. People could only wash their bodies with water.
In the past, Diao was always urging her to hurry up, fearing that she would catch a cold. However, with no one to supervise her these days, Chen Chunxing had long been accustomed to getting things done quickly.
Thinking about this trip, I don’t know how long I will have to spend in the deep mountains, so the cleaner it can be, the better.
When she wiped her hair half dry and walked out of the house, she saw the three children standing at the kitchen door, waiting eagerly.
Chen Yandong cried out "Awooo" and rushed over, hugging Chen Chunxing's waist.
“Eat, eat!”
He pretended to take her hand, like an older brother picking up his younger sister.
"Go home and sleep!"
"Grandma is not at home, it's bad to run around."
Chen Chunxing said "Huh" and squinted at Chen Mingqiu, "Did you teach him?"
Shen Mingqiu turned around and went into the kitchen with a guilty conscience, "I'll go serve the dishes."
Wang Youcai's loud voice suddenly rang out from inside, "What's wrong? That dish is still raw! Old Song, can you please help me? It's just a stir-fry, why are you taking so long..."
Old Song also raised his voice: "You, you've lived... your whole life, but you still can't eat fine bran like a wild boar! This is authentic Hangzhou cuisine!"
It was the first time that Chen Chunxing knew that Lao Song was originally from Jiangnan. He had only heard that he had been a university professor in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area.
She was thinking about Xue Yongan in her heart, and the little beggar in the daytime kept popping into her mind. She was a good farm girl, but now she was caught up in the situation and had to think about more complicated problems.
It's really hard to have an appetite.
But when he heard the words "Hangzhou cuisine," Chen Chunxing twitched his ears and subconsciously called out, "Do you have squirrel fish?"
Wang Youcai stuck his head out from the door frame, his eyes scornful: "That's Suzhou cuisine!"
Chen Chunxing: “…”
"But," Wang Youcai took a deep breath, "since we have wolfberries now, you can have squirrel fish if you want."
From inside, Old Song muttered, "Another wild boar... I was going to make Sister Song's fish soup with that fish... It's not as fragrant as that... Hmm..."
Before he could finish his words, someone covered his mouth.
Then there was a burst of "ping-pang-clang" sounds.
Two old people and a child could even start a fight while cooking! Shen Mingqiu was amazed.
He brought in the wolfberries he had picked from the yard and said dissatisfiedly, "Let me remind you, my grandmother knows how much rice and flour we have at home. If anyone dares to waste food... hehe."
“…”
This sound of "haha" is very spiritual.
Old Song died early and didn't understand this. Wang Youcai used to be a network administrator - he immediately suspected that he was being scolded!
After he whispered a few words to Old Song, they both looked at Chen Mingqiu's butt unkindly, as if looking for a soft piece of meat to kick.
there.
The fourth little brother was still following Chen Chunxing closely. Although he didn't understand what his third brother said, he could vaguely feel a sense of urgency, fearing that if he didn't keep an eye on her, his eldest sister would disappear.
Shen Zhixia also felt this way.
She had just witnessed the excitement during the day, so she knew more than everyone else - there must be something more important that could make her elder sister put aside the fun of teasing Mrs. Chen.
The three children were worried.
It’s a pity that this kind of “worry” could not be conveyed to Chen Chunxing.
A piece of fish fell into her mouth with chopsticks, and the familiar sweet and sour sauce invaded her taste buds, and she instantly put all her worries aside.
She paused with a sad face, then paused with a grin. She couldn't fly to Boundary Mountain anyway, so it was useless to overthink it. It would only make herself suffer.
“Another bowl!”
He usually has a small stomach, but today he had three bowls for the first time.
But Old Song was very proud.
Wang Youcai's nose is not a nose, his face is not a face, he was so angry that he kept humming: "If you can eat, there is no problem. No one should worry about you."
These words comforted the three children to a great extent. They silently counted the rice in Chen Chunxing's bowl, and suddenly it was difficult to keep the atmosphere serious.
The eldest sister is still the eldest sister!
The next day.
Chen Chunxing got up very early, even earlier than usual when he went to the county town to set up a stall.
The sky was dark, with a faint orange glow appearing among the clouds.
The mule cart had to be left for Doctor Chang to use. There was no telling when Diao would come back, and the family would need tools to travel.
Furthermore, if you want to go east, there are many mountains and forests along the way, and mule carts are too slow, so it is more convenient to ride a horse.
She made up her mind and prepared to boil some water to call Yang Yi, but as soon as she walked into the yard, she saw a burly figure doing horse stance.
Hearing the movement beside him, he did not change his posture and said softly, "There is hot water and steamed buns in the kitchen. Eat them and we will leave."
Just at this moment.
The rosy glow finally penetrated the clouds and spread across the earth, covering the ordinary farmyard with a layer of light.
That gray figure seemed to dissolve into the midst of it, made incomparably sacred by the rosy glow...
Chen Chunxing watched silently, and suddenly sighed with emotion.
The light of merit leaked out, and the blood and energy in his body could no longer suppress his good fortune, and it was time for good luck to come.
This trip is definitely good for Yang Yi, but for the Shen family, it is hard to let go.
But she said nothing and did not intend to force him to stay. She just responded lightly, went into the kitchen to get some water and wash up, picked up the gifts she had prepared last night, and was about to go out.
“Bring the oranges!”
There was a creaking sound from the side room. Chen Yandong, who had been staring blankly for a long time, came out from the window, ran barefoot to the bottom of the wall, picked up the orange cat, and stubbornly stuffed it into Chen Chunxing's hands.
"It knows the way and can take you home."
Yesterday at the dinner table, he learned the news that Chen Chunxing was going on a long trip. The silly boy actually had insomnia, and when he heard the noise in the yard, he immediately jumped out of bed. After thinking for a long time, he could only come up with this pitiful explanation.
"You must come back, Dongbao will be very good."
Chen Chunxing touched the fourth child's head and clearly felt that someone was hiding behind the window and peeping at him. He guessed that the other two were awake too.
She pursed her lips, somewhat uncomfortable with such pure and passionate emotion.
Before I could even open my mouth, someone couldn't stand it anymore.
Wang Youcai rushed out of the house and picked up Chen Yandong. "With her methods, no one can stop her, let alone go out for a few days, even if she breaks into the capital! Is it really necessary to make it a matter of life and death?"
He doesn't understand.
This was the first time that the four siblings of the Shen family were separated, and it was worse than a separation of life and death.
Things that have been lost are especially precious.
Chen Chunxing pretended to be calm and waved his hand. Without hesitation, he left the Shen family with Yang Yi, holding the cat.
The two walked for a few miles and came to an intersection. There was a market nearby and several villages around it. Ox carts went to the county town every day.
After riding on a bumpy ox cart to the county town, Chen Chunxing knocked on the back door of the county government office.
She wants to borrow a horse.
This matter was neither big nor small, but when the yamen runner on duty heard that it was Miss Shen who wanted to borrow it, he immediately said nothing.
