Chapter 485 Huo Bing is reluctant to leave
No matter how much hesitation Jiang Xiangzhong had before going to Blackwater City, he put it all aside after deciding to listen to his mother.
He packed his luggage and set off with Ling Yiying and the others, looking back every few steps.
Shen Qing looked at the group of people leaving, but what he was thinking about was the words Ling Yi left before he left.
Ling Yi said that there might be some changes when the Huo family went to Blackwater City, but there was no need to let them know in advance. After the emperor was done with his busy schedule for some time, he would probably talk to General Huo, so she just needed to know about it.
The Huo family is not going to Blackwater City. Maybe Ling Yi wants to start sweet potato cultivation in Blackwater City, but where will the Huo family be arranged to go?
*
After the Lantern Festival, all shops opened.
Academies, martial arts schools, escort agencies... have also opened one after another, and all walks of life are back on track.
The same is true for Shen Qing's family business.
The hot pot shop officially opened for business and the delivery team set off. Jiang Xiangbei went out to open up new territories in various places, and the young boys and girls in the village also came to the Huo family and began to learn martial arts.
This group of people not only come from their own village, but also from Fangyang Village and Fugui Village. With the support of Hulu Village, these two villages now have enough food and clothing and have enough energy to learn other things.
Shen Qing also intends to train them, firstly to provide help to his own industry, and secondly to change their own destiny;
After discussing with Mr. Jiang, those who were willing to read, learn literacy and arithmetic could go to the village school to study, and those who were willing to learn martial arts could come with the villagers.
However, the Huo family's mansion is limited, and it is impossible for too many people to come. Therefore, the three villages only select good martial arts talents to teach. After they have learned, they return to the village to teach other people and people in the surrounding areas, and gradually expand the circle.
Shen Qing has been considering returning to the village recently.
Both Guan Li and Jiang Yu wanted to return to the village to give birth and recuperate after childbirth.
It is said that the climate in the mountains in summer is cool, which is suitable for confinement and is also good for the baby.
Ali's due date is in June or July, and Xiaoyu's due date is around August, both of which are the hottest times of the year. Jincheng is located in the north, and Hulu Village is in the mountains.
If the month is later, it will be inconvenient to travel. March and April are neither too cold nor too hot, and they are the most stable months for both of them, so it is suitable for the journey back.
If I go back to the village, I have to invite a midwife in advance and bring her with me.
The medicine is available in the mall.
The only ones I can't bear to part with are Ah Bing and Hua Hua Duo Duo...
"Grandma~"
"Mom, what are you thinking about?"
When Shen Qing heard the familiar voice, she suddenly stood up from the recliner. Seeing two soft and cute babies running towards her, she quickly reached out and held them in her arms.
He carried her to the recliner and rocked her. Then he looked at Huo Bing, who was dressed in a tight suit, and said with a smile, "Why are you here at this time?"
It's only one or two in the afternoon, right? He usually doesn't get home until dinner time.
Huo Bing pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time without saying anything.
Shen Qing held her two milk-sweet little granddaughters as a rocking chair. The two children snuggled in her arms obediently and rubbed her face with their chubby and tender cheeks.
Shen Qing's heart almost melted instantly.
These days, the three of them often get along like this, staying in the house when it's cold, and in the yard under the eaves when it gets warmer.
Shen Qing reminded herself from time to time that it was best for children to follow their parents, so that she could restrain herself from asking Huahua Duoduo to leave.
Jiang Xiangdong said excitedly: "Mom, the imperial edict has come down!"
Shen Qing thought of Ling Yi's words of reminder and asked, "Where are we going?"
Huo Bing took over the conversation, his tone filled with hope but more with worry: "It's Bashu."
It was not the Black Water City that the emperor had discussed privately with my grandfather before. Two days ago, the emperor discussed it with my grandfather again and changed it to Bashu, and asked my grandfather if he was willing.
Although Bashu was the place of exile of the Huo family, the Huo family members all had different feelings about it, so when they heard it was Bashu, the grandfather agreed without any hesitation.
When the imperial edict came down, everyone except her was very happy.
When Shen Qing heard that it was Bashu, she thought of how the Huo family had gone there again not long after returning to Beijing in order to help the people there. In order to sell the peppers, they contributed money, effort, and manpower. Their relationship was truly deep!
I would probably be more satisfied if I could go to Bashu than to Blackwater City.
“That’s right. Your grandfather and his family have lived in Bashu for more than ten years. They are familiar with the local customs and people. It’s good to go to a familiar place.
Besides, this is to be a county governor, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, which is completely different from being exiled. Why do you look unhappy, Ah Bing? "Shen Qing first analyzed it rationally, and when he saw Huo Bing's obviously uninterested expression, he asked with concern.
Huo Bing pursed his lips and said truthfully, "It only takes four or five days to get to Hulu Village from Blackwater City by galloping, but it would take at least twenty days from Bashu. I don't know how long it will take me to see my mother after this trip."
Jiang Xiangdong on the side:...Why does he feel that Ah Bing is more reluctant to leave her mother than he is?
This is his mother, not Ah Bing’s biological mother. Ah Bing’s biological mother also went with them!
Shen Qing was also reluctant, but not only men like careers, women also have the right to pursue their own careers.
Compared to keeping Huo Bing, she wanted to see her leading hundreds of thousands of troops and commanding them with great vigor.
She had talked with Ah Bing many times before and knew what she wanted. Now it was just her feelings that were holding her back, and she should help her make up her mind.
She looked at her eldest son and ordered, "Big brother, take Xiaohua and Xiaoduo to play over there for a while."
Jiang Xiangdong: ...Is there anything that he, his own son, cannot listen to?
Mom must have made a mistake, he is the biological son!
Right, he is my biological son.
"Come, Xiaohua and Xiaoduo, follow daddy to play over there."
His mother is doing this for his own good. Ah Bing is his wife, and she is only being nice to Ah Bing for his own good. He should understand her good intentions.
Seeing the eldest son leading his two granddaughters away, Shen Qing said, "The eldest son may not have any other skills, but he is good at taking care of children. You should train them more carefully. The most important thing is that the children can stand on their own feet!"
Huo Bing thought her mother was teaching her, and immediately nodded heavily, wanting to say, "Mom, don't worry, she will definitely teach you carefully."
Then I heard Shen Qing's next words: "Once you stand up, you can throw the burden to them. Come back and we can lie down together and enjoy our retirement. It will be so comfortable."
Huo Bing: Huh? Isn't it about making the children happy and comfortable? Why is it about getting rid of the burden?
She hesitated and asked, "Isn't this a bit unfair?"
Shen Qing said indifferently: "Why is it not kind? It will take more than 20 years to raise them. Parents have worked hard for 20 or 30 years, and they can retire now!
Moreover, he earned a rich fortune for them, not just pots and pans, broken houses and tiles, nor a pile of debts, which is completely worthy of his descendants.
The rest is up to them.”
You need to have a career and earn money, but you also need to enjoy the happiness you deserve!
Huo Bing suddenly felt like something had been opened up, and his life suddenly had greater hope.
Farmers would have brothers fighting over a few acres of land or a thatched hut. The family business she had built was much better than that. If Xiaohua and Xiaoduo wanted to fight for it, she would let them fight based on their own abilities!
If they had the ability, she would immediately hand over the family business to them.
In this way, can I live a life of retirement with my mother sooner?
"Mom, can you not lie down? I'll take you out to travel all over the beautiful country. Don't worry, I'll protect you. Don't worry about your safety.
And Ali, Xiaoshui, my aunt, and some of my brothers-in-law, we'll all come together."
It shouldn't take many years. By then, my mother won't be too old and can go out and travel.
Shen Qing was a little worried. Ah Bing's family business was left to Xiaohua, Xiaoduo and others, and hers would also be left to Ali, Xiaoshui, Xiangnan, Xiangbei and others.
It’s okay, let’s see how they fight. The one who wants to fight should do more work, take good care of it, and wait for them to come back from their trip!
She thought of a line from a song and said briskly, "Okay, then the world will be our companion, and we'll live a carefree life. Galloping on horseback, we'll share the prosperity of the world."
It is no longer possible to ride a horse, but it is completely possible to enjoy the prosperity if you are rich and have a leisurely life.
Huo Bing remembered Shen Qing's casual words firmly in his heart.
She wants to make sure her mother enjoys the best of everything in this prosperous world!
