Parting is always sad, even though everyone was of very different social status from Liu Chuyu. But after spending so much time together, this rich kid had never used his status to bully them, these ordinary people.
This is also why everyone cares so much about Liu Chuyu.
Zhao Denglong usually talks to Liu Chuyu the most, because they are both children.
To bid farewell to Liu Chuyu, Zhao Denglong prepared some of his specialty pastries. They were all made with the most precious ingredients and foods, things that Liu Chuyu, despite his noble status, had never tasted before.
At the dinner table, Liu Chuyu took advantage of Zhao Denglong's inattention and wiped the large cake in the middle of the table with her hand.
"Oh..." Zhao Denglong saw this but it was too late to stop them. "You haven't made a wish yet, you can't eat it!"
Liu Chuyu nonchalantly licked her fingers, "Wow, so delicious!"
Sweet and chewy. Liu Chuyu almost burst into tears, complaining, "Why did you only make such delicious snacks now? Why didn't you make them earlier? You only made them when I was about to leave..."
Zhao Denglong was both amused and exasperated, and explained, "Making this is time-consuming and laborious, and it's not something that's easily done."
"Is this the milk and egg whites you asked me to mix this afternoon?" Liu Chuyu shook her sore hands.
He spent the whole afternoon whipping egg whites and milk, which Zhao Denglong said was for making a cake. He didn't even know what a cake was, and he couldn't be bothered to ask.
However, Liu Chuyu didn't want to try whipping cream by hand a second time.
Zhao Denglong nodded. "Are you very tired? That's why I don't usually make cakes. I'll only make them next time when you come back."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chuyu was immediately delighted.
A large table of delicious dishes, including stir-fried river shrimp, roast chicken and roast duck, braised rabbit, and sweet and sour pork ribs, etc.
With such a delicious and visually appealing meal, everyone was so hungry they couldn't wait any longer.
"Eat quickly, the food won't taste good if it gets cold," He Shitou urged impatiently.
Zhao Yanniang looked at her with concern and secretly took out a red envelope from under her clothes.
"Chu Yu, your aunt doesn't have much to give you. The New Year is almost here, so I'm giving you a red envelope in advance. Don't think it's too little."
Zhao Yanniang took the red envelope, and Chen Shi also took out the gift she had prepared. "Although boys rarely use handkerchiefs, this handkerchief was embroidered by me. The embroidered pattern on it is of the county magistrate's family. Take it as a souvenir."
Chen handed over the handkerchief, and everyone curiously craned their necks to look.
A square, dark blue handkerchief, with a family of three embroidered in the center.
The county magistrate and his wife each held one of Liu Chuyu's hands, while the little child playfully strode forward in the middle. It was a heartwarming and touching scene.
Liu Chuyu's eyes involuntarily reddened as she suddenly remembered how her parents used to take her out to play in the same way when she was a child.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a man, Liu Chuyu would have really wanted to wipe away his tears.
He accepted the handkerchief from Chen with emotion, choking back tears as he said, "Auntie, you're so kind to me. I can use this handkerchief now; let me wipe my tears."
As she spoke, Liu Chuyu took a handkerchief and dabbed her eyes.
Everyone burst into laughter at his actions. Zhao Xiaohe grabbed a large chicken leg and stuffed it into Liu Chuyu's mouth, saying, "Brother Chuyu, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me."
Everyone chatted and laughed heartily at the dinner table.
She didn't dare eat for too long, because Liu Chuyu wanted to catch up with her parents when she got back.
So they ate for more than an hour before dispersing.
Liu Chuyu had already packed his things here, and He Tiantian specially gave him the table lamp in the room as a farewell gift.
This is also something Liu Chuyu really likes; she can't help but press it a couple more times every night before going to bed.
There wasn't much stuff, just a small bundle.
Liu Chuyu took away the two sets of coarse cloth clothes he was wearing here, saying that they were bought collectively by everyone and that he would still be able to wear them later.
The next day, before dawn, a cold wind was blowing, stinging people's faces.
However, no one lingered in bed; they got up early, dressed, and went to the city gate to bid farewell to Liu Chuyu.
The magistrate's carriage was also very ordinary and unassuming; it would take most of the day to get to Yuntai Mountain.
The world is not at peace these days, and being too ostentatious can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
Magistrate Liu and his wife were dressed in ordinary clothes, and if it weren't for their overall demeanor, it would be difficult to guess their true identities.
Although Liu Chuyu appeared happy, she was still somewhat reluctant to part with him.
We must keep looking back, for time cannot be wasted.
After seeing Liu Chuyu off, everyone sighed. Anyway, there would be other opportunities to meet again in the future.
I just hope that the next time we meet can be soon.
He Tiantian bought a new house. Although she told everyone that it was rented, everyone was still looking forward to their new home.
Because they had never seen it before, everyone kept asking questions.
He Tiantian couldn't describe her new home clearly and thoroughly all at once, so she announced the move that afternoon.
Anyway, everything there is available, and it's all new.
One happy thing after another happened, and the whole restaurant was filled with the aroma of happiness.
After finishing their work at noon, everyone quickly went upstairs to pack their own things, keeping everyone extremely busy.
Fortunately, Zhao Dahai, Zhao Xiangbei, and Cheng Ying were there. The two men were responsible for moving the larger items, such as boxes.
Cheng Ying was responsible for helping He Tiantian tidy up her clothes in the room, as well as some of Xiao Mingzhu's messy things.
