A car accident, our family of three crossed

In the evening, the old patriarch's family prepared several tables of food and specially invited Hang Shuheng's family and Liu Fuzi's family to come over, saying that it was a farewell dinner specially prepared for the two scholars.

After Song Ning understood the meaning of this meal, he laughed and joked: "Oh! It seems that we are benefiting from the two scholars!"

Auntie patted her gently and smiled kindly, "Of course not. Even if the two scholars were not here, whenever you want to come to our house for a meal, Auntie can still provide you with a few sets of bowls and chopsticks, right?"

"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing, I should be punished." Song Ning said, patting his mouth lightly, and then helped his uncle and aunt to sit down, "Come, you are the elder, you take a seat first."

Several families had a lively farewell dinner at the old patriarch's house, which lasted until it was completely dark.

As they had to leave early the next day, the old patriarch did not keep them talking. He had already said everything he needed to say and instructed them to do at the dinner table. After the dinner, he sent them back home to rest and get enough energy for the next day's departure.

However, the closer we get to departure, the more excited we become.

Hang Shuheng and Song Ning returned home and after washing up, they hugged each other on the kang, doing nothing but chatting under the quilt.

We chatted until late at night and didn't feel tired at all.

The same situation happened with the three children in the other room. They were chattering away, and laughter could be heard coming from the room late into the night.

In the end, I didn't know who fell asleep first, one by one, then two, and gradually the room became silent.

The next morning, several people got up yawning. By then, Xu had already prepared breakfast and brought it out, and Shuisheng had packed his bag and was waiting in the yard.

Uncle Chai and Qingshuang had already harnessed the carriage and loaded all the necessary items for the trip. They were just waiting to finish breakfast and were ready to set off at any time.

Mrs. Xu was worried that they had a hard time traveling, and since she couldn't go with them and couldn't help much, she could only spend some time and effort on this breakfast and make it extra sumptuous.

Song Ning understood her thoughts and comforted her: "When we go out, we have carriages to travel with. It's not as hard as you think. Don't worry about us not having enough food and clothes on the road. There are many cities along the way to the capital where we can stop for supplies."

Xu knew that Song Ning was trying to comfort her, and she agreed on the surface, but how could she really not worry about them in her heart?

It is said that a mother worries about her son even when he is away from home. Xu is in charge of all the trivial matters in the family. Now in this family, isn't she no different from a worried old nanny? The masters and mistresses in this family are like her own children. How can she not worry when they are going away from home?

While eating breakfast, Song Ning continued to explain the things he had explained before.

"We will not be home for the next few months, so you must take good care of the house! And make sure to take good care of the flowers and plants in the backyard."

She repeated everything in a light tone, as if jokingly.

Xu nodded helplessly and replied, "I understand, Madam. You have told me many times that I will take good care of the house and the flowers. When you are away, just take care of yourselves and don't worry about the affairs at home."

"Yeah! I feel at ease with you around." Song Ning didn't say anything else and lowered his head to continue eating breakfast.

But Yangyang saw her repeating things over and over again, so he also said to Mudun and Chen Ran: "Brother Mudun, Brother Xiaobao, you have to help me take good care of Xiaoli! Remember to feed it, don't let it starve, and remember to feed the little rabbit too!"

"I know, I know."

Mudun agreed reluctantly, but he was muttering in his heart, that cat that never goes home, goes to the mountains every day to fend for itself, and doesn't need anyone to feed it, okay?

Perhaps because it knew that its little master was going on a long journey, the tabby cat that usually ran outside stayed at home for the past two days and did not go anywhere.

At this moment, the little fox was rubbing its head against Yangyang's legs back and forth under the table and meowing like a spoiled child.

Yangyang cherished the last time he could spend with his little pet. After quickly finishing his breakfast, he took it out and started playing in the yard.

After everyone had finished eating, Master Liu came over accompanied by his wife and children. Also coming with them were the head of the village, the old clan leader, and some villagers who came specially to see them off.

When they were about to leave, Yangyang reluctantly hugged the little fox and said goodbye to it.

"Xiao Li, we are going to the capital. It's too far and we can't take you with us. You have to be good and wait for me at home! Don't always run into the mountains. What if you encounter a beast stronger than you and you can't beat it and get hurt? I will be sad."

It wasn't clear whether the little fox understood or not. It rubbed against Yangyang's arms again and again, making a purring sound in its throat.

"Yangyang, it's time for us to go." Song Ning walked over and said.

"Mom, can't we take Xiaoli with us?" He really couldn't bear to let her go!

Song Ning first touched the child's head, then rubbed the cat's head, feeling its head arching in her palm.

She was also reluctant to do so. If she wasn't afraid that the cat couldn't stay there, she would have agreed to the child's request.

"Yangyang, the place we are going is too far, Xiaoli can't stay here. If he gets lost on the way, we will never be able to find him again."

Cats are not like dogs that can find their owners by smell. If a cat gets lost in an unfamiliar place, it is entirely possible that it will not be able to find its way back.

After listening to his mother's explanation, Yangyang finally put Xiaoli down reluctantly, got on the carriage with his mother, and left the village with the farewell of his relatives and friends.

The little guy leaned half of his body out of the carriage and said goodbye to his friends reluctantly. His short little hands almost left a shadow. Only after his friends' figures turned into tiny black dots did he sit back in the carriage quietly.
