Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047: Embark on the Journey_1 Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047: Embark on the Journey_1 Qiao Changshun’s eyes reddened slightly, “Sanlang, do well on your exam without any pressure, no matter the outcome.”
“As long as you two return safely, that’s enough.”
Qiao Dami clutched the hem of Qiao Changshun’s clothes, her large eyes also reddening, “Sister, brother, come back soon.”
Tong Tiehu looked towards Tong Sanlang and exhorted, “Take care of Xiaomai.”
Tong Sanlang smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m already better.”
The words “I’m better” resonated, and considering Tong Sanlang’s martial arts skills, some of Qiao Changshun’s sadness receded slightly, “All right, you should leave now, and come back early.”
Fan Linong also spoke up, “Don’t worry, leave everything here to me. You two should set off quickly; any more delays and you’ll miss the midday meal at the post station.”
Qiao Xiaomai smiled, “Then we’ll trouble Uncle Fan!”
No matter how many farewells are said, departure is inevitable.
After talking for a while longer, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang boarded the carriage.
The guard snapped the whip, the steed’s hooves clattered, and the carriage moved farther away until it became a tiny black dot, no longer visible.
Qiao Changshun stood holding Qiao Dami, staring blankly into the distance for quite some time before he sighed, “All right, let’s all go back.”
“I’ll go back to move some things,” said Fan Linong, as he was moving to Zhuxiang Residence.
Tong Tiehu, along with Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami, went into the manor. Tong Tiehu consoled Qiao Changshun a bit, suggesting he try to let go of his worries.
Qiao Changshun felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this and repeatedly agreed.
Although the Retired Crown Prince had stayed at his home, this was Qiao Xiaomai’s first time leaving home for such a great distance, and to the bustling Capital City at that. Once there, would she be bullied? Would she encounter problems she couldn’t solve?
A mother’s worry for her child traveling a thousand miles is uncontrollable.
Tong Tiehu understood this feeling, and he consoled Qiao Changshun again before heading to the Warehouse.
This place was where bicycles were made. There was nothing to do in the village today, so he decided to stay here.
It soon reached noon, time for lunch.
Tong Tiehu made his way to Zhuxiang Residence, while other villagers headed to Wang Tiesheng and his wife’s place to have the communal pot meal.
Tong Dalong followed the crowd, pondering; he seemed to hear pig squeals, the noise was quite loud…
What had happened?
The next day, it was still Tong Tiehu overseeing the work. Tong Dalong’s curiosity had grown even stronger.
When he returned to the Tong Family at evening meal time, he finally asked, “Grandpa, why haven’t we seen Sanlang in the past two days?”
Upon hearing this, Tong Tiehu lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, “They, husband and wife, have gone to the Capital City for the exam.”
“So soon?!” Tong Dalong exclaimed in shock, while Li Rou also looked surprised.
“Going to the Capital City early to get acquainted with the environment helps with the exam,” Tong Tiehu replied casually.
Upon hearing this, Tong Dalong and Li Rou exchanged glances, a flicker of understanding passing between them.
After the dinner ended and they returned to their room, Li Rou put the children to sleep, and the couple immediately started discussing the matter.
The timing of Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang’s journey to the Capital City had no impact on their plan; now that the couple had left early, their own plan would be moved up accordingly.
“Did you buy the medicine?” Tong Dalong asked.
“I’ve bought it. Rest assured, they won’t have the energy to interfere with our parents when the time comes,” Li Rou reassured.
“Good, then you go to Town again tomorrow, and we’ll execute the plan tomorrow night,” Tong Dalong said, exhaled deeply.
Success or failure hinges on this.
The next day, Li Rou made a trip to Town, while Tong Dalong continued to busy himself in the manor with making bicycles, with Tong Tiehu supervising.
In the evening, Li Rou prepared a pot of egg soup and brought it in a basin to the old house.
[I’m not feeling well today, only four chapters for now… I’ll make up for it tomorrow…]
