Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All

Chapter 423: Chapter 263: Liu Qingfeng

This is his first child, so Liu Qingfeng is also very invested.

”That’s possible. By the way, building a new house might take a long time, just as we’re about to go to Fuzhou. How about you ask Uncle and Aunt if you can stay over for a month or two, and then move afterward?”

Being his own nephew, Liu Ze is very concerned.

Liu Qingfeng was surprised, ”Is that okay? Wouldn’t it be inappropriate?”

”It should be fine. Uncle Jiang and Aunt are good people, and not stubborn, they probably won’t refuse.”

Liu Qingfeng laughed and patted Liu Ze on the shoulder, ”I didn’t expect, Second Brother, you look like you’re borrowing a place to stay.”

Liu Ze curled his lips, taking out a fire striker, ”Big Brother, let’s continue learning how to make fire!”

Liu Qingfeng’s expression instantly stiffened, ”No way, Second Brother! I was just joking, don’t take it seriously.”

No matter if he was joking or not, just learn first!

Meanwhile, Jiang Hu and Second Aunt were already preparing lunch.

Liu Qingfeng’s arrival brought detailed information about the exam, which reassured them considerably.

Since the most important issue was resolved, they didn’t worry anymore.

”Brother Hu, we’re going to Fuzhou this time. Let’s bring some of our own family’s grains, not much, just enough for the children during the exam.”

Liu Ze’s parents have already sent someone to Fuzhou. He’s fast on foot and will go ahead to rent a small courtyard. Then they can buy groceries and cook there, allowing the children to rest well.

Because the journey is long and time-consuming, bringing all the grains from home isn’t convenient. It’s better to buy some when they reach Fuzhou.

As for the food to bring into the exam hall, they’d like to use what they have at home, as it tastes better and can make the children more comfortable during the exam, right?

But bringing grains is somewhat troublesome.

”We absolutely need to bring some. I heard there are more than twenty candidates departing together, all slow on foot, so the County Magistrate will have Government Officials prepare food for the candidates. We’ll have to rely on our own supplies.”

”I say, since they’re slow, why not use a cattle cart to haul more grains, bringing enough for three months!”

Besides, there are Government Officials watching over them, so there’s no need to worry about any mishaps.

This isn’t over yet, Jiang Hu pondered for a moment, and without waiting for Second Aunt to speak, he continued.

”And eggs, didn’t Uncle say this before? Little Ze’s parents’ business is also expanding to Fuzhou. If possible, we should agree on a time and bring some from home to be delivered to Fuzhou a day or two before the exam.”

Second Aunt was surprised, ”Is this necessary? Isn’t it a bit excessive?”

Jiang Hu shook his head, ”Didn’t you hear Uncle say? Many candidates couldn’t bear it and fell seriously ill afterward, some even ended up with lingering ailments after repeated exams.”

”Even though it’s rare, the children are still young, and their health is not the best. It’s good to be cautious.”

”Wouldn’t it be too much trouble for Mrs. Liu?” Second Aunt was still hesitant, as this was indeed a laborious task.

But Jiang Hu laughed, ”How could it be? As for the rest of us, we’ll just eat modestly, focusing on bringing enough for the two children. Even if it’s just roasting two chickens overnight for dried meat, it would be good.”

”Besides, Little Ze’s health hasn’t been great. You notice Uncle hasn’t been very cheerful these days, probably worrying about this.”

Second Aunt thought about it and realized it was true.

Ever since Yu’er and Little Ze were going to participate in the county exam, Uncle’s mood has been somewhat down, probably worrying about Liu Ze’s health.

Although Liu Ze has improved greatly over the years, but after leaving Jiang’s family for a year, signs were already showing.

Even when they regularly sold grains every month, buying chicken, duck, goose eggs, and other meats, as well as preserving food like winter squash and pumpkins, it was noticeable.

Despite this, after a year apart, Liu Ze became significantly thinner and looked like he’d gone through a serious illness.

If this goes on for a longer period, he might return to his old state.

Fortunately, for this past year, Liu Ze has been eating and living at Jiang’s house, and his health has been restored.

Uncle even said before that Liu Ze’s health improved not only because of good luck but also because Liu Ze’s horoscope matched with the Jiang family!

Of course, these were just Uncle’s own words, and they believed it to be the truth themselves.

Nonetheless, from this, they could see Liu Ze’s parents’ concern for him, willing to let him live in someone else’s rural home.
