Xiaowan said, ”I always felt that there is nothing in this world that Hubby doesn't know. Why are you so powerful?”
Ling Chaofeng said: ”It is you who has not seen many people. You must know that there is always someone above you, do not be too arrogant.”
Xiaowan held onto the map. She understood the meaning behind her words and asked hopefully: ”Will you bring me to see the place on the map? Will you take me on the big boat?”
”You want to go outside and take a look?” Ling Chaofeng was very surprised. He thought that since the Xiaowan would no longer suffer and be abused, they would obediently stay in the current situation. Even if they had to stay in this inn forever, they would not feel bored.
The Xiaowan nodded her head. ”I do, but I need to complete the business of the shop first, and bring Uncle Biao and Ershan along in the future.”
Ling Chaofeng asked: ”Where do you want to go first?”
”Beijing.” It's not that Xiaowan's ”appetite” is big, she said. ”I only know of the world outside Qingling Village and I have always wanted to go to the capital to have a look.”
Ling Chaofeng smiled and did not speak, he hugged her waist: ”I went to sleep earlier.”
The next day, when he was in the kitchen early in the morning, he heard the Xiaowan chattering about how he recognized a lot of places from looking at the map last night. Only then did he understand the meaning of the Chuanyu that the Aunt Zhang was talking about yesterday.
Aunt Zhang was amused, and laughed: ”Chuanyu cannot be eaten, it is not a big green fish or a bass.”
Uncle Biao waved his kitchen knife and said, ”Evening, Uncle will go to the dock today to buy a big green fish for you to eat with the fried smoked fish.”
Xiaowan did not understand what smoked fish was, it must be delicious, but she was excited because when Ling Chaofeng agreed to not be busy in the future, he would bring her to the outside world to take a look, and at the first stop he would go to Beijing.
”Auntie, can we go together?” The Xiaowan passionately extended an invitation.
But the atmosphere in the kitchen was like a stove with its fire extinguished. It gradually cooled down, so naturally Aunt Zhang still raised her smiling face: ”Alright, we'll go together then.”
Xiaowan was very happy, she carried a large bowl of porridge to the great hall and laughed when she met Ershan, saying that in the future, when Ershan would go to the capital to become a big official, she would be able to receive them.
A few words passed into the kitchen. Uncle Biao cut a plate of pickled vegetables and fished out the Herbal Tea Eggs that had been soaking in the sauce for an entire night. The two remained silent.
Uncle Biao nodded: ”I know.”
When they were eating, they thought that Xiaowan would continue to go far away excitedly, but when Ling Chaofeng talked about Miss Susu, Xiaowan finally remembered that she was going to accompany her husband to the town to visit Susu.
After breakfast, Aunt Zhang used a small jar to fill up dozens of Herbal Tea Eggs, making them her gifts.
When Ling Chaofeng was driving, the Xiaowan did not want to sit inside, so she sat beside him, and with the sound of the wheels, he recited the Three Character Classic. After reciting it once, although there were a few people who had to remind her, he was finally able to recite it all. Ling Chaofeng praised her for her intelligence.
Xiaowan asked happily, ”Hubby, how old are you with the Three Character Classic?”
Ling Chaofeng casually said, ”Three years old.”
Ling Chaofeng teased her, ”It's not too late to start from the age of seventeen. I heard that you'll live to the end of your life.”
”I'm thinking that in the future, whether it's girls or boys, our children will learn the Three Character Classic at the age of three.” Xiaowan hugged the Herbal Tea Egg and said seriously, ”Don't be like me. You can't read a word or understand anything. You're stupid and stupid.”
Ling Chaofeng asked: ”You're so anxious to have kids?”
Xiaowan was pleased with herself: ”Of course, who told my husband to be so powerful?”
Ling Chaofeng immediately retorted: ”It's broad daylight, you're talking nonsense.”
They were chatting and laughing, and very quickly they reached the Baisha Town, at this time, the shops along the street had long since opened up, the Fast Catcher was patrolling the streets, meeting them, and greeting them from afar.
Ling Chaofeng saw that the Xiaowan was nervous, and said: ”Don't be afraid when we meet Fast Catcher Li in the future, he has a hard and soft heart, he's a very kind-hearted person.”
”Really?” Naturally, the Xiaowan believed what Master Lu said.
Reaching the Siyun Pavilion, before shsheeven entered the door, a burst of fragrance permeated the air, Yue Huaiyin was currently instructing the shop assistant to place the new goods on the shelf. When she saw Ling Chaofeng, he could not help but have her eyes brighten up, but then seeing Mu Xiaowan come out from behind him, she immediately restrained herself.
”Are you here to see Susu?” Yue Huaiyin said, ”She has already recovered, now with Auntie Chen, she is in charge of cleaning the backyard, and also has some work to do in the kitchen. Manager Ling, Xiaowan, what do you think this is okay?”
The Xiaowan nodded her head repeatedly, ”Thank you, Miss Yue. This is the Herbal Tea Egg that our shop made, please have a taste.”
The servant girl Little Cui stepped forward to receive it, and cried out: ”It's so fragrant, Madam Ling, can this servant have a taste of it?”
”Of course you can. If you can't, I'll send some back later. I don't know how many people you have here. If there are too few, please don't mind them.” With her husband by her side, no matter what, she had to have the attitude of a manager in an inn.
Yue Huaiyin naturally would not mind eating all of that in one go, and said: ”I'll bring you guys to see her.”
Ling Chaofeng went straight to the point: ”I have some important things to ask Miss Susu, if I am to disturb her in her work, I hope that Miss Yue can take it.”
”Manager Ling is always this polite. Xiaowan and I are sisters, we're all on the same side.” Yue Huaiyin smiled gently and with light footsteps, he brought them to the backyard.
After a while, Susu brought them to the house alone. The Auntie Chen felt it was strange and asked Yue Huaiyin: ”I guess the Manager Ling doesn't want you to have to be stuck here for your entire life, you can go anywhere and go home.”
