Chapter 581 How can my child be easily frightened?
Xu Yu took out the little hand that Nuonuo had stuffed into Yuanbao's mouth, wiped it, and explained, "Originally, we planned to leave tomorrow, but we can't all leave together."
Sang Zhixia didn't want to cause too much trouble in the village, lest the friendly families send her away far away and make it awkward to part with her.
Xu Yu didn't want to cause any disturbance.
Under special circumstances, the less noise they make when leaving the northwest, the better.
But there were many family members, especially women, and the journey was long. Even if the luggage was simplified and then simplified again, there were still a lot of vehicles and items to pack up.
If they all leave the village at once, the scene will be too big.
Xu Yu tapped his fingertips on the armrest of the chair and said softly, "I came here just to talk to the two aunts about our departure."
"You and Chen Yun's mother will go into the city this evening. I have arranged for someone to pick you up. Stay overnight in the city. We will meet at the Sanli Pavilion outside the city tomorrow afternoon."
It was common for carriages and horses to come and go outside the Xu family's door, and the villagers didn't find it strange when they saw it.
By setting off in batches, the possibility of being noticed will be minimized.
Aunt Xu nodded first, then hesitated and asked, "What about our luggage?"
"Xu Yu, there are so many people in our family, and the luggage we sorted out filled more than ten large carts. These things are..."
"Don't worry, Second Aunt."
Xu Yu laughed and said, "If people leave the city first, the things will naturally follow."
"After we're eighty miles out of the north city, the scattered carriages, horses, and guards will meet up, and from then on, we'll all be together."
Hearing that the whole family was together, Second Aunt Xu and Third Aunt Xu, who were originally a little uneasy, looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Anyway, I'll listen to you and do whatever you say."
Aunt Xu smiled and brought up the previous topic: "Just now we were talking about this. After we leave, we'll need your people to help take care of the embroidery shop and the winery. Remember to tell Xia Xia when you get back."
"Don't worry, Second Aunt."
Xu Yu smiled and said, "Zhizhi has already told me about these things, and the relevant people have been arranged. I'll have the person in charge come in soon. If you and Third Aunt have anything else to tell them, just tell the relevant people, and they will take care of it."
At this point, the last bit of worry was dispelled. Second Aunt Xu and Third Aunt Xu thought that they would leave in the evening, so they didn't sit for long and hurried out of the East Courtyard to make their own arrangements.
Xu Yu turned to look at Xu Wenxiu and said, "Mom, you and my mother-in-law will go with Third Uncle after dark, and then in the morning, Zhizhi and I will take a bunch of little ones and go with Grandpa and the others. Is that okay with you?"
"I can do anything."
Xu Wenxiu stared at Xu Yu, who was holding a small child in each hand. She resisted the urge to snatch the child away. She said absentmindedly, "Xia Xia probably mentioned it to your mother-in-law, but it would be safer if you go and tell her yourself."
"I have nothing to do with you here. Give me Nuonuo and Yuanbao and go talk to your mother-in-law."
Xu Yu was amused by Xu Wenxiu's eagerness. He flipped his wrist and put Xiao Yuanbao on his shoulder to sit him down. Amid Xu Wenxiu's exclamation, he said lazily, "Mom, I'll play with them for a while. If Xiao Yuanbao starts to cry, I'll send him back to you. If he doesn't cry, you can stay with me all night."
"you……"
Xu Wenxiu didn't have time to stop him. She watched helplessly as Xu Yu carried the children away one by one in his arms. She stamped her feet in frustration and said, "Nonsense!"
"Xu Yu, if you dare make them cry, I'll twist your ears off!"
"He dares!"
The old man who had just returned from outside heard all this and immediately glanced at Xu Yu unkindly: "Do you still remember that you are a father?"
Xu Yu put aside his unruly behavior, grasped Yuanbao's feet with one hand and said, "Grandfather, look, she hasn't cried yet, has she?"
"My daughter, Yuanbao, come and show your great-grandfather a smile."
The two little ones grinned as if they understood. One of them was nestled neatly in Xu Yu's arms, as well-behaved and soft as a white, tender and soft jade doll, while the other one was lying on top of Xu Yu's head like a monkey that had just come down from the mountain.
The old man was so angry that he lost his temper: "Be careful with your hands, if you drop it, you will be held responsible!"
Xu Yu suppressed his laughter, lowered his head and said yes, then respectfully greeted Mr. Qi who came in a little later.
Old Qi stared at Xu Yu meaningfully, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xu Yu retreated a few steps to the side as if by reflex, fearing the ruthlessness of Qi Lao's attack and not wanting to get close at all.
The two elders knew the plans for today and tomorrow, and they really couldn't bear to see Xu Yu taking care of the children like this, so they simply waved their hands and said, "Go do what you need to do, and don't be an eyesore here."
Xu Yu was about to leave with a smile on his face when the old man suddenly asked, "By the way, I heard you guys have some gifts prepared. Are they for the villagers?"
Xu Yu's eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, and then he said self-deprecatingly, "Grandfather, please don't look at me. I really don't know anything about this."
"It must have been arranged by Zhizhi. She's very considerate."
Xu Yu also thought of repaying the villagers for their kindness to his family, but his idea was relatively simple and crude.
Giving money would be embarrassing and would hurt the relationship for no reason. I couldn't think of a suitable farewell gift, so I simply arranged for a team of guards to stay on the farm, not only to protect the peace of the farm, but also to protect the peace of Luobei Village.
From now on, whenever something goes wrong in Luobei Village and the villagers are unable to resist, there will always be these people who will try to maintain peace here.
Xu Yu really had no idea what specific arrangements Sang Zhixia had made.
The old man chuckled and said with satisfaction, "That's very good."
"Well, go and do your own thing."
Just as Xu Yu was about to nod, Old Qi, unable to bear it any longer, said, "You take good care of the child!"
"If you can't do it well, don't get involved. If you can't do it, give it to me!"
Without a second thought, Xu Yu picked up one and carried the other as he ran away: "I'm free today, so I won't bother you."
"Please rest in the house first. I will bring him back to greet you later."
"Xu Yu, slow down!"
Qi Lao's roar exploded behind him. Xu Yu lowered his head and kissed Nuonuo's little head like a playful child: "Baby, are you scared?"
Nuonuo was so happy that her eyes sparkled and she said nothing. The little ingot on her head couldn't bear to be lonely and pulled Xu Yu's ear and said loudly: "Bubble!"
“Run!”
Xu Yu was pulled so hard that he took a sharp breath. He held down the little ingot that was dancing on his neck and laughed to himself: "What a joke."
"My kind, how can you scare me so easily?"
“Woo woo!”
“Ouch!”
"Come on, Daddy will take you out to play."
Xu Yu took the two children for a stroll, then went to explain tonight's itinerary to Mrs. Xie in person. Finally, he retreated decisively before his mother-in-law could snatch the children away.
Sang Zhixia woke up when dusk fell. When she called Huashan to ask about it, her face washing suddenly froze for some reason, and her tone was subtle: "Are you saying that my father took Nuonuo and Yuanbao to fight crickets in the threshing ground?"
"Did all the little ones at home go to the cricket fight?"
Hua Shan smiled awkwardly: "Yes."
"To be precise, the Third Master and the Old Master also went."
Sang Zhixia: "..."
How do you say that???
