Chapter 145 The Family of Four Went on a Tour
Before he left, he still had a lot of things to take care of. The workers of the powder-strip workshop and the wine-making workshop were basically all from the village. Apart from emphasizing secrecy, there was nothing to pay special attention to. It was fine to eat in the delicatessen and the pastry shop as usual. Shuangzhuan Restaurant was the main focus of Qin Mian's arrangements. In the past three years, Shuangzhuan Restaurant had almost never developed any new dishes, because Shuangzhuan Restaurant had almost always held one event every month. For example, the poetry contest, the lottery, the gathering of various sets of cards, the storytelling competition, the fruit picking competition, and so on, all sorts of new ways of playing had appeared one after another. The business of Shuangzhuan Restaurant had not deteriorated in the slightest, instead, it had become more and more popular. This trip would take him at least two months, just in case there were any accidents in the business aspect, there was no one in the family who could make the decision. Therefore, Qin Mian instructed the Manager Sun. When he and Lei Tia were not around, the Shuangzhuan Restaurant would not carry out any activities, and everything would be for the best.
Lei Tia only pla
ed to take Lei Qinle, Lei Qinzhong and Lei Qinshun with him. The remaining seven generals would arrange for two people to stay in the Leisurely Dwelling House while the other five would guard the place from the Shuangzhuan Restaurant.
The news that Qin Mian's family was going to play in the capital spread quickly. Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui came over after hearing the news.
In March, the peach blossoms were in full bloom. The peach blossoms clustered together, weaving into a pink cloud. The breeze was warm and beautiful, the spring breeze breezed by slowly. Lei Tia practiced fist boxing with Yuan Yuan and the others under the peach tree, the little white and golden hair swaying happily along with it.
Not far away, under the peach tree, were a round table, two large armchairs, and two small armchairs. On the table, there was a tea set, a basket of apples and two plates of snacks. Qin Mian lied on the table and started drawing.
Beside the round table, there was a carpet and some toys were scattered around. A large, red apple had fallen to the ground at some point.
The spring breeze blew gently, causing a few peach blossoms to fall leisurely.
"Use your left hand to form a fist and push forward." Lei Tia demonstrated as he continued to analyze the movements.
Yuan Yuan and his two little faces were very serious. His left leg was stretched out and his right leg was squatting in a horse stance. He raised his small arm and formed a fist with his small hand.
"Get up, change your moves with your right fist, and attack again with a twist of your body."
Qin Mian looked at the two of them with a smile. Only after a long while did he retract his gaze and continue to write the plan.
As Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui saw the warm scene of the family of four, they almost couldn't bear to get close and disturb them.
attendant came over to report to Qin Mian, "Reporting to the young master, the Fifth Young Master and the Young Master have come."
Qin Mian waved his hands towards Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui.
"You're here."
Now, Huo Sirui's identity was no longer Lei Xiangzhi's classmate, but rather Lei Tia's brother-in-law.
"Eldest Sister-in-Law." Lei Xiangzhi also greeted.
Lei Tia walked over with Yuan Yuan.
Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui bowed once again, "Big Brother."
The two little fellows were sweating profusely. Their little hands were cupped into fists as they bowed in all seriousness, "Yuan Yuan greets Fifth Uncle, Greetings Uncle!"
Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui laughed as they watched this interesting scene.
Qin Mian picked up his handkerchief and wiped Yuan Yuan and the sweat all over his body.
"Yuan Yuan and Zhenyi are very obedient." Huo Sirui took out two round colored stones that were the size of a sweet orange from his sleeve and handed them over to Yuan Yuan and the others. "These are the two stones that Uncle picked up from the river when he went out to play previously, it's not worth it.
Yuan Yuan looked at Lei Tia with his full attention.
Seeing that the stone was a normal stone, Lei Tia nodded.
"Thank you, uncle!" Yuan Yuan and the others took one another, took off their shoes, and started to play on the nearby carpet.
A little white rubbed on the footrest, jumped onto the carpet, rolled round stones with his mouth, and played with them.
Blondie lay lazily to the side, exhaling a breath and blowing away a peach blossom that had fallen in front of his eyes.
attendant poured two cups of tea and brought two more chairs over.
Qin Mian gestured for Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui to sit down and poured two cups of tea, then asked Huo Sirui, "It's rare to be able to come here, why didn't you bring me here?"
After Lei Chuntao married Huo Sirui, he gave birth to a daughter, whose name was Dang Dang. Huo Sirui, on the other hand, was alright. The President Huo and Madam Huo were a little disappointed. President Huo had always dreamed of having a grandson who he could teach himself once again. As for Madam Huo, what shewanted the most was her grandson. However, perhaps it was because Lei Chuntao had seen a lot of contradictions between his wife when hshewas not out of the pavilion that hshehad learned a lot. Not long after, sshe got along with Madam Huo like a mother and daughter. Because Lei Chuntao had taken good care of his parents-in-law, Huo Sirui naturally liked her more. The family was enjoying themselves.
Within the Qingshan Village, the villagers who knew of this matter were all secretly envious of Lei Chuntao's good marriage.
Huo Sirui and Lei Xiangzhi looked at each other and said: "Eldest Sister-in-Law, Big Brother, actually, Fifth Brother and I came here today because we have a request, so we didn't bring my wife here."
"Oh?" Thinking that spring was coming, Qin Mian faintly guessed what it was.
Sure enough, Lei Xiangzhi continued: "Eldest Sister-in-law, Sirui and I will be participating in this April's Spring Festival. However, the journey to the capital was a long one. It would take at least twenty days to travel by carriage. We two weak scholars are very worried that an accident will happen on the way, "he said.
"If you miss the exam due to an accident, ten years of hard work will be wasted." Huo Sirui said somewhat embarrassedly, "I heard that Big Brother and Big Sis intended to bring Yuan Yuan and him out to the capital to play, so we wanted to ask Big Brother and Big Sis if they could set off early to travel with us. "Big brother and sister-in-law are both skilled martial artists. If big brother and sister-in-law were to accompany us, Fifth brother and I would feel much more at ease."
Lei Tia looked at Qin Mian silently.
Qin Mian was in a bit of a dilemma. If he had to rush out for the exam, he would leave at the latest in the last three months of March. March more than spring rain, travel in the rain is not a good thing. He and Lei Tia's original intention this time was to bring Yuan Yuan and the others to play. Furthermore, if they left early, Yuan Yuan and Full Moon would definitely not be able to spend their birthday at home.
Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui didn't know that Yuan Yuan carried a spirit artifact that could provide warmth to the master, and thought that Qin Mian had worried about Yuan Yuan and his entire body. In March, when the weather is cold, children are prone to get sick from long journeys. The two of them did not dare urge him on, and quietly waited for Qin Mian's decision. They knew they were being a little tough, but they did fear accidents on the road. In the past, every year, there would always be many examinees who encountered all sorts of accidents on their way to Beijing to take the exam. The cold window had been bitterly studying for ten years. If he were to be destroyed at the last step, how could anyone be willing?
Qin Mian thought for a while, then stood in front of Lei Xiangzhi and his situation. He sympathized with them, and then nodded at Lei Tia.
Lei Tia could tell that Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui had made a mistake. He pinched Qin Mian's shoulder and muttered to himself for a moment, "Let's go as soon as possible. If we encounter cold weather, we can stay for a while longer."
Qin Mian was a little confused, after thinking about it, he understood why he said that, and nodded with a smile, "Alright."
Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui's face revealed joy, they both stood up and cupped their hands to Lei Tia, feeling ashamed.
"Big brother and sister-in-law are in a difficult position." Not only that, but he also wanted to make Yuan Yuan and the others feel wronged. The two little guys' birthdays couldn't be passed at home anymore. We are very sorry. "
Yuan Yuan and Man thought it was calling them, but when they turned around, they didn't get a response. Yuan Yuan shrugged his shoulders like a little adult and continued playing.
Qin Mian waved his hand, "It's alright, it's fine even if you spend your birthday here."
Lei Tia said indifferently: "You guys go back and prepare, is it possible to leave five days later?"
"No problem." Lei Xiangzhi looked at Huo Sirui.
Huo Sirui replied: "I don't have any problems either."
"If you guys have good friends who want to rush to the capital to take the exam, you can let them go too. It's just that it's best not to make too much noise. Tia and I don't like it too loud. "
When Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui heard this, they were overjoyed and immediately expressed their thanks.
"Eldest sister-in-law, please be at ease. There are only Qu Zongwen, Bu Qingyun, Zhao Tian and the other two. You and Big Bro know each other. "
Qin Mian nodded.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, let's go."
After Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui left, Qin Mian and Lei Tia also got busy. Qin Mian went to arrange for the business at home, Lei Tia was in charge of tidying up the clothes of the family of four. Many things could be kept in space, but on the surface, nothing that should be prepared could be lacking in order to not arouse suspicion.
Lei Xiangzhi and Huo Sirui were both very considerate. The next day, Huo Sirui got someone to give a brand-new small cotton-padded jacket to Yuan Yuan and his wife, Lady Li, gave each of them a soft hat that was embroidered by Madame Li to ward off evil animals.
Four more days passed. The sky was clear and the spring sun was warm. Two carriages drove out of Leisurely Dwelling House. , Lei Tia, Yuan Yuan, and even a little Bai was on the carriage. The poor golden hair's body was too huge, so he had no choice but to stay at home and watch over the house. Lei Qinzhong and Lei Qinshun rode together. Behind them, there was a two-horse carriage driven by a attendant, which was filled with bows and other items.
The horse carriage stopped at the entrance of the old house. After Lei Xiangzhi bid farewell to his wife and parents, he carried his luggage and got on the first carriage. Huo Sirui's family had a carriage, so when they reached the county city, he would ride together with Huo Sirui.
The concerned villagers all stood at the entrance of the village and watched the horse carriage leave.
Yuan Yuan liked to sit in the carriage very much. He leaned on the window and watched the village go further and further away. Lei Tia hugged one each with his powerful arms.
The old man held him in his arms. Yuan Yuan felt very safe and wasn't afraid at all. He would even stick his hands and head out of the window from time to time. The two little fellows were obviously very excited as they chattered nonstop.
"Big brother, look! There are so many birds on the trees!"
"Yes."
