"Wait a while, when the river gourds grow a little bigger, then go back. I might not be able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home."
"Bring more people so we can have someone to look after us along the way."
Zhao Dashu smiled mysteriously. What's the point of having so many people? "Xiaoyu and I are alone."
"What?"
The Qian family's grandfather and grandson were dumbfounded. Just them, father and daughter? Xiao Lei felt resentful. His wife had just arrived and she was going back to the village. It would probably be winter by the time she came back, and she would have to go back to the village during the Chinese New Year. His wife had been away from home for the past six months.
"Are you crazy? What are you two going back for?"
"There are people staying at home."
"No, we should take about ten of them back with us. It will be safer on the road. Besides, you are going to travel on your own without a driver."
"Yes, I intend to go on my own."
Mr. Qian thought he was a little sick. "Dashu, this is not the way to experience life. Xiaoyu is still here. Please consider her feelings."
"I think Dad is a good driver."
He didn't believe that this father and daughter had no problems.
"Xiaoyu, it's tiring to travel so fast. Besides, you have no one to look after you along the way, and your mother is worried too."
"Old man, just let them go back on their own. I'm quite relieved."
Xiao Lei already knew that his father-in-law wanted to drive the car back to the village by himself. Although he thought it was outrageous, he respected it. As long as they were happy, it was fine. He had tried to persuade his wife, but she was very persistent.
Old man Qian didn't expect that even the Song family supported them to drive home by themselves. What else could he say?
"Dad, sister, can I go back with you?"
"No, you have to take good care of mom and grandpa at home. My eldest sister is not at home, so the family has to rely on you to take care of it. Lihua, can you take care of the family?"
Qian Lai Fu covered his face and said that Sister Xiaoyu lied to the child.
Lihua, who was fooled, patted her chest and assured her, "Don't worry, big sister, they will definitely be plump and white when you come back."
"I know Lihua is the most capable. I'll bring you something delicious when I get back."
The little girl was very satisfied, the adults all looked away, and Xiaoyu fooled people without blushing or getting nervous.
After returning to the house.
"Wife, can't you let your father-in-law go back to the village alone? Why are you going with him? What am I going to do with you when you're gone for so long?"
Zhao Xiaoyu pushed him away without emotion. "No, I'll have to take care of all this from now on. How can I not go back? You know, our family's biggest source of income is river gourds. Making money is important. You just need to study hard in the capital."
He knew how important the river gourd was to his family, but he just couldn't bear to part with it, right?
"Who will I ask for help if I have questions I don't know after you die?"
"Ask the Master, you are not bad at math now."
Stop pretending to be pitiful with her. This person doesn't really need her teaching at all now, okay?
Speaking of intelligence, Xiao Lei is indeed quite smart.
"Really want to go back?"
"If you want to go back, Dad and I will come back as soon as possible, and try to be back before the first snow falls."
The road is difficult to travel in the snow, and it is also painful to travel in the cold weather. But when we come back, we won’t need my father to drive the carriage, because a coachman will come.
Xiao Lei also knew that they were going back seriously, "Be sure to be careful on the road, are you really not taking anyone with you?"
He would feel uneasy if he didn't bring people with him. Although the times are not so prosperous now, there are still bad things done.
I've heard there are many robberies on the road.
"No, it's troublesome to bring someone. The two of us can do it faster. You know, we used to come out once a year to collect river gourds.
Don't worry, we won't be traveling at night and won't sleep outdoors if possible, so there won't be any danger."
It would be strange if they didn't sleep outdoors. They won't stay in any inns along the way.
Let's fool Xiao Lei first, so that he won't worry.
"Okay, let's take everything with us. Let's see if the clinic sells any knockout drugs or anything like that. I'll buy some just in case."
If there is, it’s not impossible to buy some poison that can be thrown away.
"I know."
Xiao Lei glanced at his wife's belly and pursed his lips. He wondered if she was pregnant. If she was, would she be able to handle the long journey?
