During the Chinese New Year, the family prepares a lot of New Year's goods, as well as gifts from relatives and friends, which can last for half a month.
Not only that, the vegetables in the vegetable field have not been eaten yet, the chickens at home are still being fed, and the things in the field have not been arranged... These things cannot be taken away.
In addition to these things, there are people.
They haven't had time to say goodbye to their relatives and friends.
After the three of them got together that day to discuss going to the border, they mentioned which day to go.
Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao proposed that the food at home has not been eaten or used up, and they can't take it with them on the road, which is very distressing.
Luo Jianjia thought of another layer.
It is still winter and the weather is cold. This is still the case in the south, and it is even colder in the north, and it is estimated that it is still snowing.
Moreover, according to the route that Chu Wei Leng provided in his heart, it would take half a month for them to travel slowly.
Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao had never experienced such a cold climate before, and she was really afraid that they would be frozen.
Therefore, she sent a letter to Chu Weilen, telling him to go again in the spring.
In this way, the road will not be too cold, and Boss Chu and Mrs. Zhao will have time to say goodbye to the past.
Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao were busy, but Luo Jianjia was not so busy.
After breaking up with the Luo family, she was just alone, she could leave at any time with a bank note.
So, these days, she continues to make money again.
After all, she was about to leave, and she didn't want to eat fresh, just like before, selling scones, egg fried rice, tea eggs, cold skin and the like.
A month later, Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao have said goodbye to everyone, and they have almost eaten everything at home.
Although I was reluctant to leave at first, but since I decided to leave, I feel that going to the border is a big deal.
In fact, they asked their daughter-in-law when she could leave a few days ago, but the daughter-in-law said that in a few days, it would be the first day of the second lunar month.
Now that it is warm in the south, they have even changed their winter clothes, and the road is full of small flowers.
Today, after counting the money, Mrs Zhao asked eagerly, "Jianjia, when are we leaving?"
It's not that Luo Jianjia doesn't want to leave, but she has read the geography. The border is cold, and the snow doesn't stop until February, sometimes even in March.
She counted the days and said, "The first day of next month."
They walked slowly, and the snow should have almost stopped when they got there.
On the first day of next month, there are three days left.
"Well, well, I've almost finished packing my things." Zhao said with a smile, "It's just that they say it's cold in the north, do we still need to make some thick clothes?"
Luo Jianjia shook his head and said, "No need. No matter how thick our clothes are, they won't help when we go to the north. It's a hassle to carry them, so it's better to buy them there."
"Isn't that going to cost a lot of money?" Zhao shi felt a little distressed.
"Mother, let's make more money when the money is gone." Luo Jianjia said, "It's not worth it if people get frostbite."
Hearing this, Zhao Shi smiled and nodded.
Yes, she can make a lot of money now, and she can earn more after spending it.
"Let's only take what we need on the road, and we can't take the rest."
Luo Jinjia knew that Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chu had lived here all their lives, and there were a lot of things they could easily use.
Those things are worthless, but they mean different things to them.
However, they had to travel by water and land on the way, and they turned a lot, so it was inconvenient to bring so many things.
Moreover, although there are post stations, they serve officials, pass military intelligence information, etc., and the escort bureau for transporting personal items has not yet appeared.
Taking a step back, even if it appeared, the price would certainly be high, and it was estimated that it would be ten times more expensive than these things.
"Try to bring as few things as possible. According to the map prepared by the master, we have to pass through dozens of places and walk for half a month."
"But what should we do with our clothes? We don't know when we will be back. Have they been thrown away? It's strange." Zhao asked.
Luo Jianjia pondered for a while and said, "When we reach the border and settle down, if possible, let someone come to pick it up."
Just as Mr. Zhao was about to say "OK", he was interrupted by Boss Chu.
"Let's buy new ones. Let's wear one and bring two more good ones. Don't need the rest."
"Why? Isn't that a waste?" Zhao asked inexplicably.
Chu Laodao: "This is thousands of miles to the border gate, and we have to walk so far on the road, and we will spend several taels on the way. If we come back, we can't get 10 taels of silver? 10 taels of silver is enough for us to buy a house of clothes. "
At the critical moment, Boss Chu still understands something.
Although Zhao was reluctant to give up, after hearing what Boss Chu said, he didn't say anything, and decided to put everything away tomorrow.
There are still three days left, and the next day, Luo Jianjia sold out all the rest of the food.
Before she left, she said goodbye to Gou Zuo, so he didn't need to take up a seat.
Although the dog left is reluctant, he also knows that this beautiful sister-in-law has a different identity now.
Later, Luo Jianjia bought a lot of meat in the town.
This road has to go so far, you can't go hungry, you have to keep up with your physical strength.
After going back, she made a lot of pork jerky.
On the first day of the first day, before dawn, Luo Jianjia and Zhao's eldest Chu left home. He gave Aunt Wang the key to the house, and the three of them went to the county town with a burden.
It was quiet when we left, and no one knew about it except Aunt Wang.
Now that Chu Weilen's identity is different, since they learned that the three of them are leaving, many people say they will come to see them off.
Luo Jinjia specifically instructed Boss Chu and Mrs. Zhao not to tell others when they were leaving, for fear that the whole village would come to see them off, and the scene would feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.
When he left the village and walked up to the mountain in the town, halfway up the mountain, Boss Chu suddenly stopped and looked back at the direction of Chu Village.
Mrs. Zhao had just cried with Aunt Wang, but her eyes were still red and her emotions were sullen. When she looked back at Chujia Village, tears came again.
Luo Jianjia glanced at the two of them, and then looked back.
This is the first place she came to this world and has lived here for almost a year.
This time to go, the mood is quite complicated.
She has only been here for a year, so Boss Chu and the Zhao family must be even more sad.
Looking at Zhao's tears, Luo Jianjia comforted her: "Mother, if you want to come back, we can come back later."
"Really?" Zhao Shi wiped his tears and asked.
Luo Jianjia nodded.
It is Chu Weilen who is the official, not the boss of Chu and the Zhao family.
Chu Wei Leng can't leave, but they can leave.
"Let's go." Old Chu said, "If you don't leave, you won't be able to reach the inn at night."
"it is good."
Although Chu Wei Leng planned for them to walk for half a month, but they really went on the road, but Luo Jinjia did not follow this time.
On the first day, they first walked to the county seat, and then took a boat to the prefecture at noon.
The prefectural city is completely different from the county seat, it is bigger and more prosperous.
Originally, they had to rent a carriage to go to the next county after stopping here for an hour, but seeing the joy in the eyes of Boss Chu and Mrs. Zhao, Luo Jinjia planned to stay in Fucheng for one night, and then go to the night market.
After all, they had enough money on them, so there was no need to hurry.
Moreover, she is also very curious about Fucheng, and wants to see the situation in various places and choose a suitable place for her future.
Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao have always listened to her, and although they asked a few questions, they quickly agreed.
After three days, seeing the slightly tired faces of Boss Chu and Mrs. Zhao, Luo Jianjia decided to stay and rest for a day.
A few days later, they encountered a famous mountain on the way, and the three of them went to see it again.
The three of them ate, drank, and played along the way. After three or five days, they took a day off. By the time they reached the border, it was already March.
They were gone for a whole month.
It's been a lot of fun to travel in the mountains and water this month.
Boss Chu and Mrs. Zhao were originally a little sad about leaving their homeland, but gradually, they were fascinated by the chaotic world outside, and they had already forgotten about their lost emotions. s things.
When the border was approaching, the snow began to melt gradually, and the trees by the roadside also showed a trace of buds.
After getting off the carriage, Mr. Zhao couldn't help but shivered, wrapped his clothes, and said, "It's so cold."
The cold was not quite the same as they were in the south, and the wind was blowing on his face, as if something had swept across it.
Looking at the sky, it's almost time for you.
On the side of the border, it was dark early, and it is said that the city gates were also closed early, and it was closed when it was dark.
And there is more than an hour's drive between the town and the town of Zhenbei.
After dark, it will get colder and colder, and the road will be unsafe.
Luo Jianjia was afraid that she would not be able to catch up with entering the city, so she planned to make some repairs and rent a car to go to Zhenbei City tomorrow.
The three went to the town to buy some thick clothes and put them on, and then went to an inn to stay.
Thinking that he would see his son soon, Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao woke up early the next morning.
The three of them had a hastily meal at the inn, and when it was not even five hours later, they rented a carriage and headed towards Zhenbei City.
Before getting in the car, the sun hadn't risen yet. Halfway through, a beam of sunlight shone into the carriage through the swaying curtains.
"The sun is out." Zhao said with a smile, and then she opened the curtain of the car.
Looking at the white snow shining under the sun, Zhao couldn't help but say, "It's so beautiful."
Boss Chu had never seen such a scenery before, and nodded with a smile.
Luo Jianjia looked at a wasteland with no end of loess and wrapped his clothes.
Walking from south to north, she felt more comfortable in the south. The weather in the north was too cold and dry, and her skin was a little tighter.
She should go to the south to settle down early with the Heli book and the proof of the female household.
Not long after, the three arrived at Zhenbei City.
Zhenbei City is an important border area, and the investigation is relatively strict.
After arriving, according to Chu Wei Leng's account, Luo Jinjia reported Chu Wei Leng's name to the guards and soldiers.
The soldier had been explained before, and as soon as he heard Chu Weilen's name and checked that the household registration documents were correct, he quickly sent someone to the military camp to find Chu Weilen.
"Madam, you are finally here. Lord Chu comes to inquire almost every day." said the guard guarding the city.
Hearing this, Luo Jianjia was slightly startled.
Since Chu Wei Leng received that letter, he has been looking forward to the arrival of spring every day.
According to the regulations of the Dali people, February is the beginning of spring.
The letter said that the spring is coming, which is the first day of the second month.
According to the route he gave, you can arrive in half a month.
In case the parents were in a hurry to see him, maybe they could be faster.
It's a pity that he was wrong. Boss Chu and Mrs. Zhao were really anxious to see him at first, but they were gradually attracted by the prosperity outside, so they were not so anxious.
Since the eighth day of the second lunar month, Chu Weilen has been looking forward to his family coming over every day.
Hope, hope, hope from the eighth day to the fifteenth day, no one came.
After fifteen, he comforted himself again, maybe his parents were not in good health and came slowly.
Five or six days passed in this way, and still no one was seen.
Chu Wei Leng was very anxious, afraid that something would happen to them on the road.
At this time, Wang Qingjue said: "My sister-in-law said that she would come back in the spring, but she didn't say that it was the day of the spring. Brother Chu was too anxious, right?"
Hearing this, Chu Wei frowned coldly, took out the letter and glanced at it again.
Sure enough, it only said that the spring will come, not when it will come.
"It's better for you to wait. After all, you can't leave now, and it's useless to be in a hurry."
Even though he said that, Chu Wei Leng was still worried. In the past few days, he didn't have a smile on his face, and he went to the city gate to inquire almost every day.
The military camp was more than ten miles away from the city gate, which was not very close, and it was almost dark when the military training ended, and it was very cold on the way back and forth.
Just when Chu Wei Leng was thinking about going to take a leave to find someone on the road, someone came to report that his parents and Roche were here.
Chu Wei coldly took leave, and immediately mounted his horse and headed towards the city gate.
Right after arriving at the city gate, Luo Jianjia and three got out of the car.
When I first got out of the car, the sun was shining on my body, and I didn't feel particularly cold.
But after standing for a while, Chu Wei Leng didn't come over for a while, so he felt cold.
That kind of cold is a kind of painful cold, although it is already March, the wind still has a feeling of being cut by a knife on the face. The embroidered shoes on my feet are also a little thinner. After standing for a long time, it is not cold, but a little painful.
Luo Jinjia felt cold, not to mention Boss Chu and the Zhao family.
She wanted the two of them to go to the car to warm up, but when they thought about seeing their son, not only did they not feel cold, but their hearts were still warm, with a smile that could not fall on their faces.
After a while, just when Luo Jianjia felt that he was about to be unable to stand up, the sound of horse hooves finally sounded.
The sound of horse hooves was only a momentary thing from hearing it to the side.
"Father, mother." A familiar, thick male voice rang from behind.
Immediately, the horse stopped.
Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao walked over quickly.
Luo Jianjia, who had been standing opposite them, turned around and looked over at this moment.
I saw Chu Wei Leng dressed in silver-gray armor, with a red belt on his waist, a heart guard on his chest and back, a silver sword on his waist, and a pair of black soap boots on his feet. neat.
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles.
I haven't seen each other for half a year. Putting on this outfit, Chu Wei Leng has changed from a rough man in the countryside to a majestic general.
In this way, it can be very bluffing, and it has the taste of a cold hero.
After Chu Wei Leng exchanged a few words with Boss Chu and Zhao Shi, he did not forget her.
Seeing Chu Wei coldly looking over, Luo Jianjia slowly walked over.
Today Luo Jinjia is wearing a Xiangfei-colored jacket, with a layer of white fur on the neckline and the front of the front, which looks very warm.
Speaking of which, this color is not what she likes. She wanted to buy a light blue one, but Zhao asked her to choose this one. She couldn't resist it, and she had no pursuit of clothes, so she chose this one.
Chu Wei stared coldly at Luo Jianjia, who was wearing the color coat of Concubine Xiang, and almost didn't recognize her.
In his impression, Roche has always liked to wear darker and plainer colors, looking very plain and cold.
Today, I wore a bright color, which made my complexion fair and tender.
And at this moment, her nose was slightly red from the cold, and she looked a bit cute.
