Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 146 Heading to Fucheng
Early the next morning——

Bai Taotao got up before dawn.

According to the plan, she needed to go to Fucheng to pick up tea trees today, so she had to leave early.

The horse-drawn carriage ride from home to Linjiang City takes about three and a half hours without stopping, which is about seven hours.

This does not include the time during which the horses drink water and the people drink water and rest.

Therefore, it must be estimated that it will look like five hours, so they have to set off as soon as the sky clears up, otherwise they may not be able to reach the city before dark, and they will have to stay outside the city by then.

However, since we are picking up tea trees, we need both manpower and horse-drawn carts. Since we have to go out on a public trip, we will take a batch of goods to Yuelai Restaurant.

Ling Su and Ling Xiao have already prepared these in advance.

Bai Taotao only needs to get up and have breakfast, and then everyone can set off directly.

Everything was ready. Bai Taotao held the small bowl with some reluctance: "Xiaowan, Mom is going to go on a long journey. Remember to be good at home. Listen to grandma and drink milk well. Mom will be back in a few days. Give me some milk." You bring gifts.”

This time Bai Taotao was going out for errands, and she would only be away for two or three days. She didn't plan to carry around the small bowl with her, so she left the small bowl at home and gave it to the two nuns to look after.

Aunt Jin has always been in charge of taking care of Xiaowan, so there won't be any problem even if she leaves home for a few days.

Xiaowan was more than four months old. Although she couldn't speak, she knew that Bai Taotao was talking to her. She didn't know whether she understood or not, but she responded to Bai Taotao.

He looked at Bai Taotao, then opened his mouth with a smile: "Hmm~~~Hmm~~~Hmm~~~"

But maybe because it's a lot bigger, it's no longer as drool-filled as before.

Bai Taotao listened to Xiaowan's response, not to mention how reluctant she was to give up, and her eyes turned red.

Only after separation can she feel the worry and longing of being a mother. Before she let go, the child was still in her arms, and she had already begun to miss him.

"Okay, ma'am, if you don't leave for a while, it will be dawn. It happens that Xiaowan is being weaned. It doesn't matter if you go out for a few days. When you come back, the weaning will be successful. I'll save you from feeling heartbroken every time you hear Xiaowan cry. As soon as the small bowl is in your hand, you need to drink milk." Aunt Jin on the side said and took the small bowl from Bai Taotao's hand.

Bai Taotao sniffed and handed the small bowl to Aunt Jin. She blushed in order not to be seen, and then got on the carriage without looking back, "Ling Su, Ling Feng, let's go."

Although she has children and worries, she is in business, so she will inevitably have to be separated for a few days occasionally. She can't still take her around for a day or two occasionally.

It would be okay to be older, but the main reason is that she is still too young now, so she has to get used to this feeling of separation.

In fact, sometimes when you are a parent, it’s not that the children can’t live without their parents, but it seems more that the parents can’t live without their children and can’t let go of their children.

Just like now, she turned around and got into the carriage. She couldn't bear to shed tears in the carriage. Then she looked at the little heartless Xiaowan. There was no sad expression at all in Aunt Jin's arms.

Of course, it was also because she was young and didn't understand what separation meant. In addition, there were two nannies around her who were with her every day.

So it’s normal not to feel sad or sad.

It just so happened that Bai Taotao didn't want her to cry. If she cried, she would immediately be reluctant to let him go and become soft-hearted. If she was soft-hearted, she would definitely hug her into the carriage and take her with her.

But after running around on the carriage all day long, it is the children who suffer in the end. With a "drive~~~"

The carriage started slowly and then set off in the direction they were going.

After the carriage left the village, Ling Su, the driver of the carriage, listened to the sniffling sound in the carriage, and then couldn't help but said: "Madam, if you are reluctant to let me go, you can actually arrange for us to go out. Then all you need to do is Just pick us up outside Baitang County, so you don’t need to be separated from the lady for several days.”

In the carriage, Bai Taotao woke up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then replied: "It's okay. When you are doing business, you don't have to have your child by your side all the time. She is still a little better now, and she is getting used to waiting." When she is older, she won’t be so reluctant to give up. Otherwise, the two nuns might not be able to handle it if she makes a fuss. It’s good to see that she doesn’t feel reluctant to give up.”

Ling Feng: "Madam doesn't take the young lady with her, because she is afraid that she will have to rush on the road. It's the same for us to go back quickly. Fortunately, this trip is not very far. It should take three or five days to go back and forth. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Feng raised his whip and said "Drive~~~" and the horse began to accelerate.

The horse in front speeds up, and the horse behind immediately follows.

In order to get to Linjiang City before the city gate closed at night, Bai Taotao and the others did not dare to waste too much time along the way. Except when the horses rested and drank water, they chose to take a rest and eat something, and spent the rest of the time on the road.

Sure enough, people who have concerns in their hearts will really feel that time passes very slowly.

It was just time to catch up, and Bai Taotao felt like his days were like years.

Coupled with the worries in my heart, this body seemed to be not very adaptable to traveling far away for the first time. Especially in the afternoon, the whole person felt a little groggy.

But in order to rush for time, Bai Taotao held on all the way.

Fortunately, she didn't impulsively bring Xiao Wan with her. Otherwise, Xiao Wan would have been even more miserable.

Finally, when the sun went down, she finally heard Ling Su say outside: "Madam, we are almost at Linjiang City. We can already see the gate of Linjiang City."

As soon as she heard Ling Su's words, Bai Taotao immediately became energetic, and then she stretched her head out of the carriage and looked at the gate of Linjiang City not far away.

Sure enough, the ancient Fucheng was worthy of being a Fucheng. The gates were larger than the gates of the county towns, and there were two gates for entry and exit.

Left in and right out.

Although the sun had set at this time, there were still many people leaving and entering the city. There are guards guarding both sides of the city gate.

However, if there is no need to arrest prisoners or check entrances and exits, the guards usually just stand there and watch to prevent anyone from disrupting order.

Bai Taotao and his team entered the city quickly and went straight to Yuelai Restaurant.

Bai Taotao stretched her head and looked at the streets on both sides all the way.

The main street of Fucheng is very spacious, almost as wide as three lanes based on modern lanes.

However, the carriage does not need to be too wide. Even if two carriage lanes are reserved in the middle, there are still many empty spaces on both sides of the street, so there are many stalls and many people shopping.

They were not even affected by the time. They were worried that they would have to go home quickly when it got dark, even if their family lived in Fucheng.

Roadside stalls are no worse than modern roadside stalls.
