Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
They were humans. Humans had emotions, greed, anger, and foolishness.
“Will you lend this house to others?” Heng Yi asked.
“No. No one will be able to use our home. After we move out, not many people will be here save for the few maids and servants to clean the house. In the future, if you encounter any important matters or you have to come back to do business, you can also stay at home instead of staying in an inn.”
“This is the place where we have Ah-Yao, and also the place where he was born. I thought that when he grew up, 1 would bring him here to take a look.”
“That’s why we won’t sell this house, give it away, or let anyone move in.”
“From the day we moved out, the door of this house will not be open for guests. Unless we can’t survive outside and come back.”
Heng Yi held Han Qiao’s hand tightly, “We will survive,”
Han Qiao smiled.
When Ah-Yao woke up, he immediately noticed the lack of familiar smell around him.
The nanny had tried to carry him to feed him, but the child refused to eat.
In the end, he still fed half a bowl with a spoon.
Then he refused to eat.
When Han Qiao returned, he was still crying.
Even Pucao couldn’t comfort him.
Heng Yi immediately went up to hug him.
But the little baby was obviously hungry. He rubbed against Heng Yi’s chest and started crying again.
Han Qiao wasn’t in a hurry to hug him, nor was she in a hurry to feed him.
Instead, she went to wash up first and drank a few mouthfuls of warm water to calm herself down before carrying him over.
It was strange.
Ah-Yao, who was crying loudly in Pucao’s arms and then in Heng Yi’s arms, immediately stopped crying when he was in Han Qiao’s arms.
Han Qiao carried him to the side and fed him with Heng Yi watching over her neck.
She then switched him from left to right. After he was full, Pucao carried him over to pee and poop. Then she wrapped the diapers and placed him in the cradle.
Soon, he fell asleep.
Han Qiao, on the other hand, personally went to see the martial arts teacher.
The martial arts master was calm and strict, and his martial arts skills were adequate. Whether it was teaching the children or Han Chi and his siblings, he did their best.
“A strict teacher produces outstanding disciples. Master has been working hard these days.”
“Madam is here for the young master’s matter?”
Han Qiao nodded slightly.
“They don’t have any foundation in martial arts and can’t keep up with Ah-Chi and the others. Master, can you take some time to teach them the basics?”
Han Qiao’s suggestion was rejected by the Master.
Han Qiao went to look for the Headmaster again, but he also shook his head and refused.
“Do you know what’s the problem?” Han Qiao asked Shulan.
The two masters were doing their best to teach the children and taught them well.
They were good teachers.
“Could it be that the masters don’t have much energy left to teach the young masters?” Shulan guessed.
Han Qiao could only think so.
Since the two teachers didn’t have the time, she would look for another master again and buy some children at the same time. She could also visit those beggars and homeless children on the streets.
If Han Dacheng and the others were to stay with these children who had no foundation, and still complained that they were tired, she would have no choice but to send them back to Xishan Village.
They planned to set off on October 23rd. After arriving in Chenzhou City, they would first stay outside the city and wait until November 25th before moving into their new home.
Because she was bringing Ah-Yao along, the carriage would have to move slowly along the way and could not be bumpy.
She also had to take into account the rainy days, so she had to be careful. The carriage had to be checked over and over. The oilcloth on the top of the carriage had to be wider. Even if it was raining, it could wrap the carriage and prevent the rain from seeping into the carriage.
Some farmers could stay for a night along the way. They had to pack up their things.
Some things could be discarded, but some things had to be taken away.
Especially those children. Even though they were not too young, they still didn’t know much about the world. This trip could also train them.
For safety reasons, they had to ask the Escort Agency to guard them.
Some things were arranged by Han Qiao, but some things needed to be done by Heng Yi. The husband and wife worked together to arrange everything properly.
Zeng Baobao ran over to Han Qiao, “Madam, Madam!”
Han Qiao noticed that the young boy was sweating profusely, “You came back alone?”
“Yes, Young Master and the other Young Masters are going to the restaurant for lunch. They let me return first to inform the Madam that they won’t be back for lunch.”
Han Qiao nodded.
Looking at Zeng Baobao’s anxious expression, she smiled and asked, “You want to go to the restaurant too?”
“Yeah! Hehe,” Zeng Baobao scratched his head in embarrassment.
“Duan Yue, take two taels of silver to Baobao.” Han Qiao instructed Duan Yue to take the silver and turned to Zeng Baobao, “Tell the Young Master not to save money. It’s rare for him to go out for a meal, so he should eat something good. Go get Han Yu to go with you as well.”
“Yes.” Zeng Baoer responded and ran off again.
The child was full of enthusiasm and didn’t have any calculative thoughts. He only wanted to do things well and eat delicious food.
Han Chi had silver in his hands.
However, he was a young kid and could not bear to spend too much money. Usually, when he went out, other than buying something for his younger siblings, he never bought anything for himself.
Even if he was treating his cousins to a meal, he would not be willing to order the signature dishes.
Han Chi did not bring his cousins home. Instead, he went to a restaurant.
When the shopkeeper saw Han Chi, he was surprised and quickly went forward to greet him respectfully, “Young master, you’re here. Are you here to eat? Or do you want to stay for a while and leave?”
“I’m here to eat. Is the private room reserved for Father still empty?” Han Chi asked.
“It’s empty. Little boss, please.”
Han Chi nodded and said to the shopkeeper, “These are my cousins.”
The shopkeeper was surprised for a moment before he quickly said, “Greetings, Young Masters. Please.”
This made Han Dacheng and his brothers feel a little embarrassed.
Heng Yi’s private room was on the second floor. When they opened the window, he could see the busy kitchen.
Han Chi ordered a few dishes, but none of them were the restaurant’s signature dishes.
“The money in my hands is limited, so 1 can only treat you to a meal.”
Han Dacheng was surprised. “You still need to pay?”
“Of course! This restaurant and fast food restaurant are free for Mother, but Father has to pay for it too.” Han Chi chuckled, “Because Mother is here to test the dishes. It’s just that the chefs will come up with fresh dishes and cook them for Mother to taste. Moreover, my parents usually didn’t eat here.”
This shocked Han Dacheng and the others.
Han Chi pushed open the window and let Han Dacheng and the others come over to take a look.
It was lunchtime, and the kitchen was very busy.
People came and went with plates in their hands. In a corner, a few teenage girls were washing the dishes.
It seemed as if the bowls to clean were never completely done. Not long after, another pile came, and another pile came.
Someone quickly ran to the kitchen door and shouted, “The private room on the second floor wants a serving of Kung Pao Chicken and a serving of stir-fried pork with pickled vegetables…”
Soon, a voice came from inside, “Twelve tables of pickled fish on the first floor are ready. Bring them over!”
A basin was placed by the window and someone immediately carried it away.
They were so busy, yet no one made any mistakes. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
“Everyone seems to be very busy, but when it comes to settling wages or dividends, they are all different. This is the difference between those who are capable and those who are not.” Han Chi said softly.
Han Dacheng and the others looked at Han Chi.
Han Chi continued, “But before becoming a capable person, everyone has gone through hardships.”
“I know what I want in the future, so no matter how hard it is, I will grit my teeth and persevere. Do you know what you want? And persevere for it?” Han Chi asked faintly.
Han Dacheng and the others were stumped..
