Chapter Thirty-Two: Entering Kyoto



Grandma Tian also paused for a moment.

She looked up at her eldest grandson and, seeing that he didn't seem inclined to speak, she tried to respond to her granddaughter's voice, "Brother is alright."

But at this moment...

Tian Yifan suddenly spoke up, "Thank you, little sister!"

He knew that his sister saved him when he was seriously injured and almost died!

Last night he was thinking about how to thank his sister.

Over the years, he had gradually grown distant from his sister, and had even stopped knowing how to talk to her, until this moment…

He only meant to say "thank you," but he unconsciously called out "little sister" instead.

It's been too long since I've said those two words.

But when he shouted it out, it didn't sound unfamiliar at all.

Grandma Tian was thrilled to hear him call her "sister," so she excitedly picked up her granddaughter and shoved her next to him, saying she wanted Guoguo to let him see her again.

The real intention was to let the siblings develop a relationship.

Tian Yifan is not usually very talkative.

At this moment, I don't know what to say.

Then Tian Guoguo can only pretend to be a chatterbox and try to find topics to talk about with him.

Well, it felt a bit awkward during the conversation!

Fortunately, the Wen family had prepared breakfast early on.

Tian Guoguo quickly seized on a new topic, carefully pulling her older brother along and saying she wanted to take him out to eat!

Tian Yifan had injured his head, not his eyes, so why should she take him out to eat? But he didn't refuse.

She cooperatively took her little sister's hand and walked over.

Today's breakfast was very plentiful.

In addition to sweet potatoes and rice soup, there was also a plate of stir-fried pork.

As is customary, Grandma Tian always distributes the meat when the family eats it, and today was no exception.

The old lady first divided the pieces among her grandsons and granddaughters, then among her sons and daughters-in-law, keeping the last piece for herself.

When the Tian family saw that the old lady only had one piece of meat, they all wanted to give her theirs.

The old lady said, "Dr. Wang said I'm old and should eat less meat, otherwise I'll easily get sick. You should eat more!"

The Tian family was skeptical.

Tian Guoguo still secretly put a piece of meat on her grandmother's plate.

Grandma Tian was deeply moved.

My granddaughter is such a sweet and considerate daughter.

Across from him, Tian Yiming saw Tian Guoguo putting meat on her grandmother's plate. He paused slightly and secretly glanced at the older boy beside him…

Then, he quickly finished the rice soup in his bowl, put the meat he hadn't eaten yet in front of Tian Guoguo, and said something.

"I'm on a diet!"

They grabbed the sweet potato and ran away!

The Tian family members were all stunned. They looked at the bowl of meat in front of Guoguo, and then at Tian Yiming who had run away. They were all confused.

This isn't Tian Yiming's style, is it?

Tian Lao Er was quite meticulous and worried that something might be wrong with Tian Yiming. He was about to ask his mother when she interrupted him!

"Eat your food!"

The Tian family members exchanged glances again, but ultimately said nothing more and buried themselves in their food.

The old lady's face showed a hint of relief.

Tian Yiming ran away, but actually he ran to his mother's place.

He saw his mother when he got up this morning, and quietly gave her the sweet potato, but he didn't dare to talk to her and ran away as fast as he could!

Li Chunxiang saw him!

He grumbled and cursed as he wolfed down the sweet potatoes.

The subsequent escape from famine continued in the same way. Every day, Tian Yiming would secretly bring his mother some food, but he dared not speak to her.

Li Chunxiang was still very unwilling and wanted to go to the Tian family to make trouble again, but after seeing Qian Bao and the others, she finally gave up the idea!

Let's wait until we find Boss Tian in Kyoto.

Back then, Boss Tian loved her very much, and she was determined to make him punish those heartless bastards in the Tian family for her!

The villagers were running out of food. They had originally planned to spend the New Year on their journey to escape famine, but in the end, they didn't even get to celebrate and continued on their way.

Finally, at the end of January, we arrived in Kyoto!

Kyoto was the capital of the Tianqi Kingdom.

The royal palace is located here.

However, the city was divided into inner and outer sections, with the imperial palace located in the heavily guarded inner city. It was said that no one could enter the inner city without an official pass…

Apart from the imperial palace, the inner city was filled with high-ranking officials and nobles!

Ordinary people could only live in the outer city.

Although the people living in the outer city were considered Kyoto residents, most of them had never seen the Imperial Palace. However, the name "Kyoto" made prices in the outer city extremely high.

It is worth mentioning.

The outer city is more populated and bustling than the inner city!

Outside Kyoto City are tall and majestic city walls, each with a different gate. Aoyama Village arrived at the South Gate.

The south gate leads directly to the outer city.

This is a city gate that all citizens can pass through.

There were no starving refugees outside the city gates, and the people entering and leaving the city were all dressed neatly and cleanly, with smiles on their faces.

Looking out over the city gates into the city.

The scene inside the city can be described as bustling with traffic and people!

The villagers of Qingshan Village were all envious.

With such a prosperous place to settle down, how could one not have a good life?

Everyone wanted to get into the city as soon as possible.

The village chief thought the same thing.

However, other cities all had to pay an entry fee to enter, and Kyoto was no exception, so the village chief went to inquire first.

Sure enough, people with non-local household registration have to pay a fee to enter the city!

Fortunately, the fee is charged per household, regardless of the number of people in each household. It is only charged per household, and each household pays 1 tael of silver.

Before fleeing the famine, the villagers still had some money at home, and they also saved money by eating and living frugally during their journey...

There's no problem for each household to contribute one tael of silver!

The officers and soldiers checked the household registration book, and each family and each person reported their name. Those whose names matched the household registration book could pay the fee to enter the city.

The village chief led the way in queuing to enter the city.

The Tian family was naturally in the queue as well.

Originally, the Tian family was in front, but Tian Yiming suddenly fell down and said he couldn't get up, so the Tian family had to check on him first.

Then the villagers lined up in front of them.

Tian Yiming kept dawdling, saying he was in too much pain to get up no matter who asked. Tian Laosan had no choice but to carry him on his back.

Tian Yiming said he was too fat and was afraid his third uncle wouldn't be able to carry him.

Tian Laosan's lips twitched as he listened!

If he remembered correctly, half a month ago this kid fell into a ditch and broke his toe. He cried and begged to be carried. Wasn't it him who carried him?

What's wrong? You've gained so much weight in just half a month that he can't carry you anymore?

It was clearly intentional, wasn't it?

Tian Yiming really did it on purpose.

Seeing that all the villagers had moved to the front of the line and only the Tian family was left, Tian Yiming finally staggered to his feet.

He first glanced behind him.

Seemingly having spotted what he wanted to see, he sauntered over to the old lady, took her hand, and said...

"Grandma, I think I had a cramp just now, that's why I couldn't stand up. I feel much better now, let's go line up quickly."

After saying that, he reached out to pull Tian Guoguo next to him to join the queue.

Tian Guoguo refused to be pulled by him.

Although Tian Yiming has changed a lot since Li Chunxiang was kicked out of the house, he has never bullied Tian Guoguo again...

He even often shared his own food with Tian Guoguo.

Moreover, once when Tian Guoguo was eating pastries, the village children saw her and came over to ask her for some, but Tian Guoguo refused.

The child was very angry and was about to hit Tian Guoguo, but Tian Yiming quickly ran over to protect her.

The ending was rather awkward...

When Tian Yiming was about to be beaten up by the kid, Tian Guoguo threw a grenade to protect him!

Ahem, that's not the point.

The key point is that Tian Yiming is slowly getting better.

But Tian Guoguo took a few short steps to walk to the other side of her grandmother. She still didn't want to be pulled by Tian Yiming, she wanted her grandmother to pull her!
