Chapter 159 Farewell
Outside the city gate, the official road has melted and the snow has become a road.
In the Liren Pavilion, members of the Jiang family were sitting.
"Dad and Mom, please take your brothers and sisters back. Don't send them off."
Jiang Wan held his mother's hand, urging them to go back, but he leaned on his mother's shoulder clingingly and was unwilling to get up.
After being in this world for so long, this is the first time she really has to leave her mother. She is so reluctant!
He quickly closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, then he left his mother's warm embrace, sat up straight, and forced a seemingly happy smile.
"Anyway, Dongling Mansion is not too far from the capital. If I miss you guys in the future, I will ride back to see you. Mom, don't cry..."
"Don't cry, mother, my son is right.
This road is indeed not far. If there is a chance in the future, your parents will come to see you.
"You have to take good care of yourself over there, and comfort yourself if you have any problems. Remember to write back if you encounter any difficulties, do you hear me?"
"Um!"
Although they were trying to persuade each other in a proper manner, the mother and daughter still couldn't help but shed tears. Not to mention the several children around them, all of whom were sobbing.
The only two men hurried to persuade them. It was not until the sun was almost overhead that Jiang Huailiang wiped his face vigorously.
"No matter how far we take them, the children will eventually leave. Mother, let's just send them here. It's getting late, so let them leave quickly. If they're late, they might have trouble finding a place to rest for the night."
"Yes, yes, your father is right."
Mrs. Xu took out a handkerchief and wiped her daughter's face.
"It's all mother's fault. Why are you crying? It's so cold, the wind blowing on your face hurts so much. Stop crying, Wanjie'er, hurry up and set off with your son-in-law.
Be careful on the road and don't go out for a leisurely ride. It's cold and it's easy to get your face and hands frozen.
Also, if possible, soak your feet in hot water before going to bed at night to drive away the cold.
Don't wear less just to look good. You'll be cold in autumn and warm in spring. It's still a long time before spring comes and the weather warms up, so don't catch a cold.
When you get there, remember to send a letter back to your parents to let them know you're safe..."
She kept rambling on about trivial matters, but every word was filled with a mother's warm and loving heart. Jiang Wan nodded frantically, afraid that he would neglect his mother's instructions.
"Sister, you must remember to write to me! Woo woo woo, I will write to you too, I will listen to you..."
"Big sister, can't you stay? What if I miss you after you leave? Wow, big sister..."
Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Lao San rushed over, each hugging one of their eldest sister's arms, crying loudly. Jiang Xiao Si was a small group, crying in a gentle and cute way.
"Big sister, don't forget us..."
"Of course I haven't forgotten. My little Si is so cute, sensible and lovable. How could I forget you? Stop crying. I'll ask my brother-in-law to send some fun things over later, okay?"
"Um!"
Jiang Yang sniffed hard to wipe away his tears, then rushed into his mother's arms with red eyes.
He wanted to comfort his mother.
After coaxing Xiao Si, Jiang Wan turned around and looked at the crying twins who were holding her.
When she first opened her eyes and saw them, one was a timid bean sprout, and the other was a chubby bastard. How could she have imagined that she would later hold this pair of siblings in her arms and raise them for so many years?
But all good things must come to an end, and we will always say goodbye when it is time to say goodbye.
"Stop crying and be obedient. You two are already grown up. You should set a good example for Xiao Si. How can you cry like this?"
He pulled his younger brother and sister apart and raised his hand to wipe away his sister's tears.
"Jiang Han, you have to remember what your sister told you. Be good in the future, okay?"
"I know. I remember everything you said."
"good."
He reached out to tidy up his brother's messy hair, and looking at this child who was already a little taller than him, Jiang Wan smiled and gently scratched his nose like he did when they were little.
"Since my eldest sister is no longer in the capital, you are not allowed to do anything stupid. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come back and ask your parents. Don't go out and cause trouble on your own.
From the male heir's perspective, you are the eldest son in our family. You must learn to shoulder the responsibilities of the family and protect the old and young in the family.
Jiang Yao, can you do it?"
"able."
"Louder!"
"Yes! Don't worry, big sister, I will definitely be a good eldest son in the family. I can do it!"
Jiang Yao puffed out his chest, and even with his hoarse voice during voice change, one could still hear him shouting as loudly as he could.
"good."
Jiang Wan looked at his three younger siblings, smiling lovingly. Turning around, the couple bowed and said goodbye to their parents.
"Mom and Dad, my daughter is gone."
"Mom and Dad, I will definitely take good care of my younger sister."
Xu was speechless and could only stand there nodding. Jiang Huailiang patted his wife's arm soothingly, looking at his son-in-law with a warning in his eyes.
"Li Chengxiu, I leave my daughter Jiang Wan in your care. If you don't treat her well, I will seek justice from you even at the cost of my own life!"
"Yes, don't worry, Dad."
"Um."
He turned to look at his eldest daughter again, unsure of what else to say. He had already repeated the necessary instructions many times. But because this was his child, no matter how many times he repeated it, he still felt uneasy.
"Girl, Dongling Prefecture is not like the capital. It's a bit desolate, with a vast expanse of land and sky. You tend to get lost easily, so don't go out for a stroll before you know the way!"
"You must ride Ruhua wherever you go. She's been with me on the battlefield for quite a while now, so she's a bit human. If you get lost, she might be able to lead you back the way you came. Remember that?"
"I remember that."
Jiang Wan nodded.
"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving."
"Go ahead."
After sending you a thousand miles, we must finally say goodbye. Jiang Wan turned and boarded the carriage. He lifted the curtain on the window and took one last look at his parents and family.
The wheels rolled, taking away the young eagle that was about to spread its wings and fly.
Watching the long team disappearing little by little on the official road ahead, Xu leaned on her husband's chest and cried with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Huailiang sent the second, third and fourth sons home first, and the couple still sat in the Li Ren Pavilion on the side of the road.
"Don't be sad, Sister Yu, I'm still with you. Jiang Daxiong has always been with you and will always be with you."
"I, I can't bear to leave her... She's never been this far away from me in all these years. What should I do if she misses home?"
"It's okay, isn't Li Laosi still there? That boy loves our eldest girl so much, aren't you the most satisfied with him? Why are you worried now?"
"Men can easily change their hearts. What if he doesn't like our daughter so much anymore in the future? Will he do something like favoring a concubine over his wife? If that happens, we'll be so far away, what will our daughter do?"
"He dares!"
