Chapter 219 Children give gifts

The start time of the government examination is between May 10th and 15th. It is more than 300 miles from Liujiacun to Fucheng. According to the speed of the carriage, if you don't want to walk too hard, it will take four or five days.

 Including the preparation time required for arriving in Fucheng, it is most appropriate to set off ten days in advance.

Now that the farm work at home is basically finished, Qin Yao and Liu Ji are starting to prepare for their trip to Fucheng.

 After all, it was her first time traveling far away, so Qin Yao still had a little expectation.

 The carriage is ready at home, and considering the possibility of sleeping outdoors on the road, a tent must be prepared.

This kind of thing is most needed by businessmen, and it is also sold in the county town. The price is not cheap, an oilcloth tent costs 800 yuan.

These 800 yuan can be exchanged for a small tent that is less than two to five meters long and less than one and a half meters wide.

 But it’s enough for two people to squeeze in. If the weather is friendly, you can sleep in the carriage.

 After buying the tent, Liu Ji looked at it several times and laughed from time to time. He didn't know what he was thinking.

 Transportation and temporary shelter are available, and there is still food and drink left.

Dry food is best for traveling, and cooking on the road also wastes time. Qin Yao thought, if there is a shop along the way, she can eat it in the store, and if there is no shop, she can eat some dry food to fill her stomach.

You have to be careful when drinking water. People here don’t have the habit of drinking boiled water. Qin Yao prepared two large gourds and a small stove.

The gourd is used to hold cold boiled water, and the stove is used to boil water. The hollow table on the carriage can just fit the stove, so that if you have to go camping, you can still have something hot to eat.

 As for the remaining flints, umbrellas, thick-soled shoes, etc., they are necessary for travel.

This time, I have to wait until the results are released before coming back. Calculating the time, it will be at least more than twenty days, and at most a month.

 The temperature rises in May, so just bring a pair of light and cool linen clothes. In addition to the clothes you wore when setting off, two sets of clothes are enough.

　　After taking care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, Qin Yao packed up her weapons.

 The big knife has not been used for a long time, so it needs to be taken out and sharpened.

The bow and arrows should also be taken out for inspection, and a few more arrows should be prepared to fill the quiver.

 The dagger is no longer with me, leaving it to Dalang for self-defense.

 Everything is ready, just waiting to set off.

There were two knocks at the door of the room, and Sanlang shouted in a low voice, "Mom, please come out."

 Qin Yao was cleaning the knife. Hearing this, she put the knife into the scabbard, picked up a wooden hairpin from the table, rolled up her freshly washed and dried hair, opened the door and walked out.

 Looking down, he saw Sanlang nervously clutching the two pockets on the corners of his clothes. He raised his head and tried his best to give her a smile that he thought was easy.

“What are you doing?” Qin Yao glanced towards the main room. The brothers and sisters who had just been urged to go back to the room to sleep were now gathered in the main room.

Liu Ji, who was endorsing the book, was also dragged to the main room by Erlang, still holding the book in his hand and still wearing the familiar Wenquxing protective headband on his forehead.

He raised his head and looked at Qin Yao, and caught a glimpse of Qin Yao, who was wearing a white loose middle coat and her hair was lazily tied up. Her eyes, which were originally slightly drooped and staring at the book with her peripheral vision, widened in an instant.

Sanlang stretched out his little hand, took Qin Yao's finger, and led her into the main room.

As soon as the task of calling people was completed, he immediately ran to the team of his brother and sister. The four brothers and sisters lined up in a row, mysteriously blocking something.

 “What’s going on?” Qin Yao glanced at Liu Ji suspiciously.

 Liu Ji shook his head, he was also confused.

 Siniang "Ahem!" She coughed twice, reminding her father and mother to pay attention to the four of them.

Qin Yao and Liu Ji looked over in unison, bending slightly to see what the brothers and sisters were going to do.

Dalang said: "Dad, Aunt Yao, although you have to leave for a month, you don't have to worry about things at home. We will take care of the cows and feed the chickens. If there is a problem with the water mill, we will call Carpenter Liu, and I will He Erlang, Sanlang and Si Niang will take good care of themselves."

After making a lot of preparations, Dalang finally got to the point, "Well, we will make something for you, which you will need on the road." After saying that, he immediately looked away and looked away, his ears turned red. , looking very embarrassed, not daring to meet the surprised looks of Qin Yao and Liu Ji.

Erlang patted Siniang’s hand on her back. Siniang took two steps forward and took out the two pairs of insoles she had hidden behind her.

 “Aniang, this is yours, Dad, this is yours.”

quickly gave the two pairs of insoles to her father and mother. The fourth mother immediately hid behind the eldest brother and the second brother, and said proudly and shyly:

“Sister Jinhua taught me how to make it, but I didn’t do it well.”

Special reminder, "I also embroidered your names on it, father and mother!"

Qin Yao and Liu Ji looked down at the pair of insoles in their hands, which could not be identified as insoles unless they were insoles. Sure enough, they found a ball of embroidery thread of a different color in the center of the mat.

 From Qin Yao's side, you can barely tell that it's a Yao.

 Liu Ji's side is a complete mess.

If Siniang hadn’t said anything, they wouldn’t have seen it at all and would have just thought it was a tangled thread.

Looking at the insole in her hand, and then at the four siblings in front of her who were full of reluctance but sensible enough not to make any requests, Qin Yao felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart.

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked in surprise: "Where did you get the cloth for the insoles?"

 Sanlang pointed at Erlang and said, "The pocket money saved by the second brother."

Siniang added, “Big brother helped me a little bit.”

 Otherwise, she would not be able to make two pairs of insoles by herself.

Dalang also pointed at Sanlang, "It's a picture drawn by my younger brother. I don't know if you like it or not."

 “Dad likes it very much!”

In the quiet night, Liu Ji roared, shaking the four Dalang brothers and sisters so much that they trembled all over.

 Reacting to the sound, it was Dad’s voice, and they all let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little happy.

Liu Ji pressed the pair of insoles that could not be seen as insoles tightly to his heart, with an expression of joy that was beyond touching, "My son has really grown up!"

Qin Yao also smiled and said: "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."

 Siniang smiled and felt very proud. She knew that her father and mother would definitely like it very much!

Saburo went to bring his father and mother's shoes over and asked them to put them on and put them on immediately.

The atmosphere is so warm, of course Qin Yao will not break it.

Liu Ji pressed her lips and said she liked it, but actually didn't want to try on the insoles. The four brothers and sisters helped them put the insoles in their shoes.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows at Liu Ji. Liu Ji forced out a fatherly smile, put on his shoes and walked around twice.

 “Daddy, does it look good?” Siniang asked expectantly.

Liu Ji asked back: "Siniang, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Si Niang glared at Dad, "Of course it's the truth!"

Liu Jixin said that the truth is that it is not easy to wear at all and it is a bit painful for the feet.

But under Qin Yao's gentle gaze, she said: "Comfortable! Good to wear!"

 The four brothers and sisters looked at Qin Yao again, received a big thumbs up, and laughed with satisfaction.

Ke was smiling, but when he thought that his parents were about to leave for a month, his head drooped uncontrollably, feeling a little disappointed.

 Qin Yao and Liu Ji suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.

The couple looked at each other, how about... leaving?
