Chapter 374 How can a child who is just over 2 years old have so many chapters?
Lin Chang'er: "..." It's all baseless, what nonsense are you talking about!
I patted his arm. "Speak properly!"
“It’s noisy,” Wu Qingfeng said seriously, “If the child can’t sleep well, the adults can’t sleep well either!”
Just last night, he carried the person over, and they finally fell asleep. But less than half an hour later, the person peed. He didn't wet his own pants, and he even turned away to avoid it.
The little goldfish was the one who suffered; somehow, it peed on him.
He took the goldfish to get a bath, and finally settled them in properly, but then the little one woke up hungry again.
After eating two pieces of pastry, she stopped complaining of being hungry and her energy levels improved; she even started chattering away.
If you don't respond to him, he'll be afraid you didn't hear him, so he'll whisper it in your ear and repeat it to you. You know what, he's actually quite "thoughtful." But he just can't understand how a two-year-old can have so much to say.
Once everything was settled, the men from Caijia Village came knocking on the door again...
Wu Qingfeng was suffering in silence.
Lin Chang'er glanced at him, but hadn't said anything yet!
Gu Xiaoman came running in, carrying a big steamed bun. "What? Kids can't sleep? Xiaoman sleeps very well every night. Auntie, have a steamed bun!"
Wu Qingfeng: "..." You're the most energetic one, running all over the place.
Wu Qingfeng remained silent.
Lin Chang'er reached out and patted Gu Xiaoman's head, "Auntie won't eat, Xiaoman will."
Gu Xiaoman took the steamed buns and went to find her older brother, older sister, and younger brother. "Brother, sister, Xiaobao, the big steamed buns are all steamed. Why are you still sitting here?"
Tilting her head, she said, "Hey, brother, your eyes are all dark circles, and Xiao Bao's are too. What did you two do last night?"
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? The little goldfish rolled over, ignoring him.
Zhou Yi, however, was not so cunning. He chuckled, swallowed, and said, "Go to sleep, brother. The big steamed bun looks so delicious!"
Gu Xiaoman thought for a moment, then broke off half of it and gave it to him, saying, "Here, take half!"
Zhou Yi took the big steamed bun and started eating it, savoring every bite. "What a delicious steamed bun!"
Soup kept spilling from the corners of his mouth, and Gu Xiaolu took out a small handkerchief to wipe it for him. "Eat slowly, Grandpa Pei will definitely make sure you're full."
"Mmm, woof..." Zhou Yi responded, but it didn't affect his speed in eating the bun at all.
Soon, the meal was delivered to the private room.
After they finished resting, when they set off again, Pei Sihai was worried that the children would get hungry on the way, so he brought them a big bag of pastries.
Once in the car, Lin Chang'er found a small blanket and had the children lie down.
The little goldfish had been quite a handful last night, so it lay down obediently. Zhou Yi snuggled into the little goldfish's arms. Gu Xiaolu was next to her brother. Only Gu Xiaoman had gone to bed early last night and was in good spirits. He muttered to himself, "Why do I have to go to sleep again after just waking up?"
Lin Chang'er pursed her lips and ignored her, then took another blanket and handed it to Wu Qingfeng, saying, "You should rest for a while too."
Wu Qingfeng did not refuse, took the blanket and draped it over himself, then leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes to rest.
Lin Chang'er slept well last night, so she drew back the curtains to admire the scenery outside.
After this period of time, the trees that were originally knocked down have all been straightened. Although they can no longer sprout new buds this season, their roots underground are working hard to grow.
Green seedlings have sprouted in the vegetable fields by the roadside, and nearby villagers can be seen working on the ridges from time to time. The traces of the flood are fading away little by little.
Although the previously feared epidemic did break out on a small scale, it did not spread widely because we had prepared medicinal herbs in advance.
Grain prices have been kept within a range that ordinary people can afford; other areas are too busy to attend to them.
The carriage swayed and rocked, and when it passed a clod of earth, it shook violently. Lin Chang'er felt a weight on her shoulder, and when she looked down, she saw that Wu Qingfeng's head was already resting on her shoulder.
Lin Chang'er paused, then drew the curtains. After all, he was still a mortal, and even though he was in his prime, the fatigue from running around for many days and not sleeping well last night was clearly etched on his face.
He must be really tired; he didn't even wake up after all that commotion.
Looking at the smaller ones, they were already fast asleep, especially Xiaoman, whose sleeping posture was extremely domineering, sprawled out, and you could vaguely hear her snoring.
Lin Chang'er pursed her lips and carefully patted his head to help him sleep more peacefully.
They walked all the way to the city gate before Lin Chang'er woke him up.
Wu Qingfeng rubbed his eyes, slowly propped his head up, and looked at Lin Chang'er in surprise, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Lin Chang'er chuckled, "Didn't I call you? We've arrived at the city gate. Get off the carriage and pay the head tax."
Wu Qingfeng glanced at her and shook his head, "My wife manages all the money at home, how could I possibly have any on me?"
Lin Chang'er burst out laughing, "You're so cheeky!"
He counted out some copper coins from his purse and gave them to him, saying, "Here, go!"
Wu Qingfeng pointed to himself, "You really want me to go?"
Lin Chang'er tilted her head. "What's wrong? It's not allowed?"
Wu Qingfeng paused, as if remembering something, and raised his hand to tap her head, "Merchants who have signed contracts with restaurants and workshops in the city that normally pay taxes are exempt from the city entry tax when delivering goods into the city. That was my decision. Do you really think I'm still half asleep?"
Lin Chang'er brushed his hand away and chuckled, "Oh, is Your Excellency trying to show off your official power to me?"
Wu Qingfeng immediately withdrew his hand, "How dare I, how dare I..."
As they were talking, someone knocked on the car window.
Lin Chang'er lifted the curtain and saw that it was Liu Zi.
Liu Zi said, "Miss, Brother He and the others separated from us earlier. What about the things you brought?"
Lin Chang'er slapped her forehead, "I almost forgot about that."
He turned to Wu Qingfeng and said, "They're here to help you this time. Why don't you go down and exchange a few pleasantries?"
Wu Qingfeng nodded.
The two got out of the carriage, and He Yang and the others had also dismounted. He Fei was not on duty today, but he had brought a few brothers to wait at the city gate early in the morning. When he saw them, he came over from afar and said, "It's time for me, the leader, to go on my way these past few days. How was it? You've learned a lot from following Lord Wu this time, haven't you?"
He Yang smiled but didn't say anything, while the other men accompanying him burst into laughter.
"Not only that, Lord Wu also took us to eat delicious food several times."
"We also attended Miss Lin's housewarming party and her baby's one-month celebration!"
"We even fought off some pirates! How exciting!"
Upon hearing this, He Fei slapped his thigh, his face full of regret. "See? I knew I shouldn't have stayed. Miss Lin hasn't come into the city these past few days, and I've been waiting here in vain."
He Fei, a grown man, was so regretful he almost cried.
Lin Chang'er and Wu Qingfeng came over with Liu Zi. Wu Qingfeng first nodded to He Fei and the others, and then said, "Thank you all for your hard work. Please rest well when you get back. I have important business to attend to outside the city tomorrow and will not be back for several days. I was going to invite you all to a banquet as promised, but I'm afraid that will be a few days later."
The city gate guards didn't dare to take it seriously, and they all waved their hands, saying, "Lord Wu, you're too kind. Official business is more important."
Wu Qingfeng didn't explain, but simply made an agreement with them that he would send someone to inform the city gate guards when he returned.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lin Chang'er finally spoke, "When the brothers had a late-night snack earlier, they said that my family's cold dishes were delicious and the hot pot base was also quite good. So I prepared some base, pickles, and some dried goods and seafood produced by our own family for everyone. I'll have my brother Xiao Qi deliver them to the guardhouse in a bit, and then I'll trouble Brother He to help distribute them."
