BXBX NOVEL Chapter 571 - 571: Trip
Li Yu packed a few changes of clothes at home and went to the cellar to take out the rice seeds and corn seeds in the space. She asked Uncle Liu to prepare the two mule carts tomorrow morning and planned to set off tomorrow morning to send the seeds to Liang Village.
When Zhou Jia and Yangyang returned, she had just told them that they were going to Liang Village. Yueyue and Xingxing were arguing about going. Li Yu was worried that it was not safe there. She hesitated for a moment but did not agree. Mr. Wen returned to the residence.
Mr. Wen smiled and said, “Jiahe, do you remember Qi Zhanpeng?”
“Qi Zhanpeng.” Zhou Jia thought for a moment. “Is it that Qi Zhanpeng who had his medical center occupied?”
Mr. Wen smiled and told Zhou Jia about Qi Zhanpeng’s recent situation. He then said, “Although he’s on the list, his ranking isn’t ideal. That child is a straightforward person. If there’s a suitable position. Help me take care of him.”
When Zhou Jia heard this, he thought about Qi Zhanpeng’s experience and felt that he was worthy of his guidance. He nodded and said, “The county magistrate of Shanyang County has just been taken down. There are too many people fighting for this position. His Majesty saw that the candidates reported by the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs all relied on relationships, so he suppressed them and hasn’t decided on a candidate. His Majesty means to choose a suitable person to take up a post in Shanyang County. I’ll recommend him to His Majesty. Whether he succeeds or not will depend on His Majesty’s decision. Don’t tell him for the time being.”
Mr. Wen nodded. “Okay, I’ll let him stay at the medical center. I’ll tell him when there’s a result.”
Yangyang pulled Mr. Wen. “Grandmaster, why haven’t you been back for a few days?”
Yueyue and Xingxing also pulled him along. “Grandmaster, I want to eat hawthorn pills.”
Mr. Wen smiled happily and took out three small boxes from the bag. “Come, the hawthorn pills Grandmaster made for you and Yangyang’s bones and tendons.”
After the children held it in their hands and bowed to Mr. Wen, Zhou Jia said to Yangyang, “Grandmaster is very tired after a busy day. Yang’er will bring your brothers to the back garden for a walk.”
“Okay.” Yangyang took his two younger brothers to the garden to play.
Seeing Mr. Wen’s tired expression, Li Yu said with concern, “Sir, you’ve lost weight again. I think you should rest for a few days. I’m going to Liang Village tomorrow. There are beautiful mountains and clear water there. The scenery is
not bad. Can you come back with me to rest for a few days?”
Zhou Jia also persuaded, “That’s right! Sir, go for a walk with Xiaoyu! Ever since you opened the medical center, you’ve gone to the hot spring manor twice and haven’t gone out to play!”
Mr. Wen felt that he was a little exhausted in the next few days. He thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, I’ll go out with Xiaoyu. I’ll go back to the medical center later and tell Xiao Qi that we’ll go to Liang Village together tomorrow morning. ”
Zhou Jia smiled. “I’ll get Ji Xiang to go to the medical center and tell Xiao Qi. You’ve been busy for the entire day. I’ll serve you a hot bath to relieve your fatigue. It’s time to eat.”
Mr. Wen looked at Zhou Jia lovingly. “Alright, we haven’t spoken properly in a long time.”
Li Yu said with a smile, “I got the kitchen to stew your favorite Mountain
Treasure Duck Soup. Talk to Jiahe. I’ll go to the kitchen to take a look.”
After the family ate dinner happily, Zhou Jia said to Li Yu, “Yu’er, Sir asked me to bring Old Master back and go to Liang Village with you. What do you think?”
“Alright, Uncle Zhou left him alone in the manor.” Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia. “Let Tiezhu go to the manor now. We can only enter the city tomorrow morning when the city gate opens.”
“It’s fine. I’ll ride a horse and bring Yang’er to court tomorrow morning.” Zhou Jia got someone to go. The family went to the back garden to digest their food a few more times before returning to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Zhou Jia brought Yangyang to the morning court. Li Yu went to the backyard for morning practice.
Ji Xiang got someone to load the seeds onto the handcart. Seeing that the sky was gray, he got someone to cover it with another layer of oilcloth.
Tiezhu and Old Master Zhou also returned to the residence and prepared to set off for Liang Village.
Yueyue and Xingxing each hugged Li Yu’s leg and looked up at her pitifully.
“Mother, we have to go together. Mother… Mother…”
Li Yu was caught between laughter and tears as she looked at the two pitiful children hugging her legs. “Little baddies, you even learned how to walk.”
“No! No! We want to go together too, Mother… Mother…” The two children started nagging.
Mr. Wen looked at the two of them and was so amused that he couldn’t close his mouth. He said to Li Yu, “Xiaoyu, bring them to the village to play with mud and grounded down to earth.”
Old Master Zhou also said, “Bring the two of them along! They’re going to be stupid if they’re locked in the courtyard every day.”
Li Yu looked down at the two of them. “Alright! You can’t do this next time, understand?”
The two of them stood up and looked at Li Yu’s smiling eyes. They nodded vigorously. “Got it. No next time.”
Li Yu turned to look at Granny Chen. ‘Granny Chen, go pack some bedding and clothes. Call Han Ling, Auntie Zhang, and Auntie He. Let’s go and stay for a few days before coming back.”
“Aye!” Granny Chen turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.
After a while, Auntie He carried the grill, Auntie Zhang carried the mud stove and charcoal. Old Madam Liu, Granny Chen, and Han Ling each carried two large food boxes out of the inner courtyard.
Auntie He smiled and said to Li Yu, “Madam, Second Young Master and Third
Young Master haven’t had a picnic yet. Let’s go to Liang Village to barbecue.” “That’s good. I’ll go up the mountain and hunt some wild animals when we get there.”
Ji Xiang went to get another carriage. An hour later, everyone officially set off.
After leaving the city, the two children were extremely excited. They stuck their heads out of the window and pointed at the people and cars along the way.
Li Yu turned around and looked. “It’s a big yellow cow, not our Big Yellow. Our
Big Yellow is in Phoenix Village!”
Yueyue thought for a moment and asked, “Mother, will Eldest Brother cry if we leave?”
“He might! Yue’er, can you go home and accompany Brother?” Li Yu asked him with a smile.
Yueyue was worried. “But I want to go play with you. Mother, let’s get Uncle Xiang to send Eldest Brother over, okay?”
Xingxing interrupted, “Second Brother, Eldest Brother has to go to school. He can’t come!”
Li Yu looked at the smart Xingxing and the loyal Yueyue. She pulled the two of them to her side and sat down. She looked at Yue Yue and said, “Brother is right. Eldest Brother has to go to school, and Father has to go to the government office to work. When the holidays come, our family can come out to play.”
Yueyue nodded. “Yes! Let’s go out to play during the holidays.”
The car went up the mountain path. A gust of mountain wind blew, bringing with it the faint fragrance of mountain flowers. The air was fresh and sweet, and waves of crisp and pleasant birdsong came from the depths of the trees on both sides. The two children widened their eyes curiously and looked at the forest, looking for traces of birds.
When they reached a flat ground at the top of the mountain, the carriage stopped. Auntie He, Auntie Zhang, and Granny Chen brought down the oilcloth and found a dry place to lay it out. They began to prepare food.
Li Yu got out of the carriage with the two children. When the brothers saw Han Ling picking wildflowers, they ran over and followed her..
