Chapter 4880 Going to Beijing
The snow has stopped and the sky is clear, Daan and Muzichuan are preparing to leave for the capital.
Before leaving, Mu Zichuan specially came to the Luo family to say goodbye to Blacksmith Luo and Tuoba Xian.
"...I am really ashamed. Qing'er trusted me and handed me over to take care of the school. We agreed for three years. Now it has only been a year and a half. I am leaving. I have arrived in the capital." I have no face to see her!”
When my mother passed away, I had to worry about keeping my filial piety at home. I was lonely and boring every day, living a life of confusion between black and white.
It was Qing'er who persuaded him to teach in the village school to pass the time.
This year and a half of spending time with his children has enriched his life, and he has gradually come out of the grief of his deceased mother.
Originally, I wanted to expand the school size so that more children from ten miles and eight villages could attend school. Unexpectedly, a secret edict from the Holy Emperor disrupted this plan.
“During the twelfth lunar month holiday last year, I was still thinking about enrolling an extra class of students this year. Now it seems that this plan cannot be realized. I am really ashamed...”
Blacksmith Luo raised his hand and patted Mu Zichuan on the shoulder: "Zichuan, don't be ashamed of this. You have been teaching in the school for the past year and a half, and everyone has praised you."
"I was working outside, and people in eight villages across the ten miles heard that the gentleman who taught in our village school was Tanhualang. Everyone said that this wave of children are lucky to receive guidance from famous teachers."
"You want to recruit more students, which is originally a good thing, but this plan can't keep up with the changes, right? The emperor asked you to go back to the capital. You have to end your worries early, not to mention the school matter. Of course, you have to let it go. The emperor's will cannot be violated. We all understand you, Qing. I can definitely do it too!"
Seeing Blacksmith Luo comforting himself like this, Mu Zichuan smiled bitterly.
"The emperor's orders cannot be violated, Uncle Luo, Mrs. Xian, I will take my leave then. Please take care of your health, both of you."
"Okay, okay, be careful on the road, for your own safety. Come on." Blacksmith Luo warned.
Tuoba Xian also smiled and nodded, watching Mu Zichuan leave the courtyard.
On the road outside, there were four carriages parked, two of which were occupied by Mu Zichuan and Da An, and two more were loaded with their luggage.
Both of them are scholars, and most of this luggage contains whole boxes of books, notebooks, and files.
Other than that is a simple change of clothes.
Of course, Yang Huazhong and Sun ignored Da'an's dissuasion and brought them two large bags of bacon, fish, sausages and other things that were pickled during the New Year at home and stuffed them into the carriage.
He told his followers to take good care of him and not to drop anything.
Muzichuan came over to say goodbye to Yang Huazhong and Sun and his wife, while Daan picked up Feng'er, kissed him, and told him to listen to Xiaohua at home and not to be naughty.
Xiaohua took Feng'er over and handed over a bundle.
"This is the dry food my mother and I made early this morning. You can take it with you and help you with Brother Zichuan on the way."
"Okay, you should also take care of yourself at home. "Da'an warned in a deep voice.
His eyes fell on Xiaohua's slightly swollen belly: "When I give birth, I may not be able to come back in time..."
"Brother Da'an, concentrate on doing your own thing, don't be distracted by this." Little flower arrangement.
“I have my parents at home, so many people are taking care of me, I’m fine, but you are alone in the capital, and there is no one around you who knows how to feel, you...”
On impulse, the words that told him to take in a maid as a common roommate were on his lips, but he didn't have the courage to say them out.
“I am an adult and can take care of myself.”
Da'an interrupted Xiaohua's words, and he held her slightly cold fingers: "My mind is not on those messy things, so don't think about those messy things at home. Wait until you give birth to the child smoothly. Come, let’s go to the capital together next year. During this period, I will look out for a good academy for Feng’er in the capital and let him go to the capital to study!”
Watching Da’an and Muzichuan go away, everyone! They all went back to the house.
Although the eldest son went to the capital and there was one less person in the family, compared to the feeling of being hollowed out last year, Sun was much better this year.
Why?
Because Xiaohua and Feng'er are both at home, and Xiaoan hasn't left yet.
Although Duo'er is married, Xiangjiazhuang is not far from Changping Village Road, so it is very convenient to walk on both sides. "Feng'er, you haven't eaten yet this morning. Are you hungry? Grandma will get you something to eat. What do you want to eat?"
Sun Xiaohuashou Li took Feng'er, held it in his arms and asked on the way to the backyard.
Feng'er wore a tiger-head hat, poked his fleshy cheeks with his chubby little fingers, and thought for a moment: "I want to drink minced meat porridge, but also sweet egg drop soup."
Mrs. Sun smiled happily: "I guessed that you were craving for minced meat porridge. It is simmering for you in the earthen pot. Grandma will take you to eat it now!"
...
The meat used in Sun's minced meat porridge is the tenderloin of the deer that was frozen with ice a few days ago.
Deer are good at running in the mountains and fields. Most of the meat on their bodies is strong and elastic, and they are chewy in the mouth.
Only the tenderloin here is smooth and tender. It is used to make soup and porridge. It is soft and delicious, and is most suitable for children's teeth.
Mr. Sun put red dates inside again, and as soon as the lid of the earthen pot was opened, the smell of meat mixed with the smell of dates, making Feng'er's saliva flow out.
"Would you like to give your sister a bowl as well?" Mrs. Sun asked Feng'er.
Feng'er nodded, "Let's eat together with my sister."
When Cao Cao arrived, Baby Luo jumped into the kitchen.
“It smells so good. What is my brother eating?” Baby Luo asked with a smile.
Feng'er pointed to the minced meat porridge in front of him: "Look, it's delicious!"
"Wow, it looks good. Can you give me a bite for my sister?" Luo Baobao touched Feng'er's head and asked him teasingly.
Feng'er scooped a spoonful of it with his own spoon and brought it to Baby Luo's mouth: "Sister, eat it."
Baby Luo smiled and looked away, "Sister, I came here after she was full. You can eat it yourself."
Ms. Sun has come over with another bowl, "Baby, this is yours. It has red dates in it, not candied dates."
Looked at Baby Luo. He glanced at the porridge in front of him and smiled knowingly.
She has a habit of eating minced meat porridge. Candied dates cannot be added to it, as it would be too sweet and conflict with the salty taste of the minced meat.
It is better to use red dates with a slight sweetness, and red dates are more fragrant than candied dates. I told her once, and Ga Po remembered it.
When I came here in the morning, my aunt made steamed meat buns. She ate two of them in one go and she couldn’t eat any more.
“Ga Po, I really can’t eat it right now.”
“Is that so? It’s okay, Ga Po will simmer it in the stove for you. When will you be able to eat it later? Eat again.”
...
After eating and drinking, Luo Baobao took Feng'er out to play together.
The two siblings are almost eleven years old and have grown into slim little girls.
The other one is almost six years old, and he is also a handsome and fair little boy. The elder sister took the younger brother's hand and came to the yard of Yang Yongjin's house across the road to play with Xiuxiu and the others. By the way, they took a look at the baby born by the second aunt. Little brother.
Yang Yongjin was shoveling snow in the yard, while Xiu Xiu was helping out. Cao Bamei was holding the three boys and sitting under the eaves to bask in the sun, while Xiu Xiu's sister was standing by the side teasing the infant.
As soon as Luo Baobao and Feng'er came in, Feng'er broke away from Luo Baobao's hand and ran to play in the snow, while Luo Baobao came to Cao Bamei to tease his little cousin.
After a while, Old Yangtou also came.
The old man put his hands behind his back, hummed a little tune, and walked with a brisk pace. It looked like he had encountered something happy.
