This time, except for the uncles from the Song family who came out to see them off, no one else knew that Zhao Dashu and the others were leaving.
Everyone agreed to gather on the official road in the county town.
"Dad and Mom, you must take care of yourselves. Come back if you don't get used to living here."
"Yeah, don't force yourself if you're not used to it. Don't run around when it's cold, I'm afraid your cold legs won't be able to bear it."
"By the way, if you don't go home for the New Year, could you please ask someone to pass on a message? We'd be worried."
"Why don't you come back for the New Year, Mom and Dad? After you've seen my younger sister stay for a while, come home quickly. We feel uneasy without you, the backbone of the family."
Come on, the second child is the loudest since he came here. I don’t know how well his family is doing after moving out.
He has his own ideas.
Besides, they come back to live with the eldest brother. They stay at home in the winter. How many times can they see him? Not many times at all, okay?
"Okay, stop acting like you're still nursing. We're leaving, so hurry back.
Don't worry about us, Dashu and my daughter will take good care of us, just take care of yourselves."
The old man got on the carriage without looking back. It’s not like he won’t go home. It’s just that he hasn’t seen him for a few months. Is it that serious?
"Father and mother no longer have us in their hearts."
"I thought you were already aware of your position."
"Second brother, you'd better not be so cocky. If Mom and Dad really don't come back for the New Year, you'll cry."
"Why should I cry? I won't cry about anything. If I don't come back during the Chinese New Year, I will definitely come back after the New Year."
Boss Song said that he lost, as he had never won an argument with his second brother.
Since their parents went to the provincial capital, it was impossible for them to go with them. They still had a lot of animals at home, especially pigs, which would lose half a pound if they were not fed for a day.
They are reluctant to sell it now.
After watching the carriage leave, the Song family returned home with heavy hearts.
For the first time since I was born, my parents are away on a trip, and they may be absent during the first Chinese New Year.
They were right. I really felt empty inside. As soon as I left, I missed them so much.
Zhao Xiaoyu had her own carriage, without even a waiter. She said that if there were more people taking up space, she could sit, lie down, or sleep as she pleased.
There were three mattresses and two quilts, all warm and soft.
There was a small coffee table in the carriage, on which were hot tea, fresh fruits, and snacks and candied fruits. Even if there were none, she would have everything she needed in her space.
The stove isn't lit, and it's not too cold yet.
Zhao Dashu went to Liu Shunzi and his men's mule cart, and gave the horse carriage to Zheng and several other women.
Men and women in the car were either chatting or playing cards.
Everyone was a little excited. It was the first time for their family to go on a long trip, not to sell candy or pick river gourds.
"Dashu, is Xiaoyu really okay alone?"
"No, the child has always liked quietness. She's fine lying down by herself whenever she wants. There are plenty of talking boxes in the carriage, so she won't be bored."
"It's great to know how to read. Everyone says the words are beautiful, but they don't know how beautiful the words are."
"I've told you to study a long time ago, but if you refuse, there's nothing I can do."
"I can't concentrate on my studies. I'd rather farm than study." Hu Zi scratched his head. He had tried this before, but he didn't want to recall the process. It was too painful.
"Da Shu, I admire you so much. How come you are so good at studying?"
"No way, I'm just naturally smart. But if you really study this thing, you'll be fine. If nothing else, just reading it will be fine."
If you don't believe me, ask Shunzi. He used to doze off while reading, but now? At least he can understand half of what he reads."
Liu Shunzi quickly waved his hands, "Huzi, don't listen to his nonsense. This can't be done. You don't know how much pain I am in.
I was so forced for a while that I started sweating when I heard my wife’s voice.”
Emma, it's so miserable. Fortunately, his wife is very easy to talk to and lets him do whatever he wants.
