Chapter 221 Return to Ganzhou?
The next day, Qin Ruo had just gotten up and washed up when Xun Dong came into the house carrying two bowls of Xueyan red date soup.
"Good morning, Miss. Banxia is making breakfast. I have made two bowls of snow swallow and red date soup for you and Miss Jiang. You can use it to fill your stomach first. Miss Jiang is also up. She will come over after she washes herself."
Xundong put down the tray and moved the two bowls of soup to the table.
She carefully observed Qin Ruo's expression again, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her master's face was obviously tired.
When I first followed Qin Ruo, I always called her "Master" or "Miss" in private.
After Qin Ruo was named Princess, she was called Miss in private. In formal occasions, she was called Princess.
"Okay, let's put it aside for now. This Snow Swallow Red Date Soup must have taken a lot of effort. Thank you for your hard work." Qin Ruo's eyes fell on the two bowls of sweet soup on the table, and her heart warmed slightly.
Xundong has always been a careful person. He must have known that he slept late last night, so he got up early to make soup for him.
Actually, I was just saddened by the scene last night and my emotions suddenly got aroused.
After venting, the sudden feeling of depression in my heart disappeared as soon as I woke up.
When I first arrived in the Great Sheng Dynasty, I was indeed not able to adapt well due to the various inconveniences in life.
When Qin Ruo knew that she could never go back, she quickly adjusted her mood, got out of the predicament, and gradually lived the life she had dreamed of.
"It's alright. I can't fall asleep after waking up, so I just got up. The old lady and the three young masters have also prepared their favorite sweet soups, so they can eat them when they wake up."
Xun Dong responded with a smile while making the bed skillfully.
The master and servant chatted for a while when Jiang Tang came.
"Sister A Ruo, I'm here." Jiang Tang happily flew into the house like a butterfly. She sat down at the table, not treating herself as an outsider at all.
Qin Ruo looked at Jiang Tang and saw that she was in high spirits, obviously she had a good rest last night.
"You've come just in time. Xundong has cooked some snow swallow and red date soup. Have a bowl first and then have breakfast. Did you sleep well last night?"
"Yeah, I slept so well last night. I like your house very much. Sister Ruo, I suddenly had an idea. I will ask my father to build a house here so that we can see each other every day."
After taking two sips of the sweet soup, Jiang Tang suddenly put the bowl down and spoke seriously.
"Build a house here? That's not necessary. We have guest rooms at home. You can come anytime if you want. It saves you the trouble of going back and forth."
Qin Ruo didn't take it seriously and just thought it was just a casual remark by Jiang Tang.
The two drank sweet soup in the small courtyard and rested for a while. Banxia came over and told them that the meal was ready and invited them to have breakfast.
When Jiang Tang arrived at the main hall, he saw the crispy red rice sausage with fresh shrimp, ginger cake, steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce, crystal shrimp dumplings... on the table and his eyes widened.
After she tried them one by one, she wanted to be Qin Ruo's neighbor even more, and she loved everything on the table.
"Sister A Ruo, just for breakfast like today, I'll live next door to you." Jiang Tang looked excited.
"What's the point of you living next door to us? You have to live next door to Sister Banxia. These breakfasts are all made by Sister Banxia. My sister can't make them. Sister Banxia has to follow me back to Ganzhou, and you won't be able to eat them in the future."
Qin Tiaotiao spoke first and winked at Jiang Tang proudly.
In fact, the Qin family’s breakfast is usually simple and light.
After returning to Changhe Village, the Qin family had guests again, so Banxia arranged such Cantonese dim sum for them, and Yiqiu helped out.
These Cantonese-style dim sum are Qin Tiaotiao’s favorites.
During the time in Ganzhou, she did it according to Qin Tiaotiao's requirements.
In addition to being obsessed with martial arts, Banxia also likes to tinker with food. She is very satisfied when she sees that her little master likes it.
"Go back, go back to Ganzhou? Ruo'er, are you going back again?" Old Mrs. Qin had a smile on her face just now, listening to the laughter of the children.
Now when she heard Qin Tiaotiao say that she wanted to go back to Ganzhou, her smile froze.
During the time when Qin Ruo was in Ganzhou, Qin Ziyan and his brother were both studying in Taihe County, leaving only Old Lady Qin at home.
It’s okay during the day. I can walk around or chat with Grandma Zhou and others in my free time.
Once night falls, it feels particularly lonely when one is alone in an empty house.
Old Mrs. Qin didn't want to live in the house in Taihe County. She felt it was new and fresh when she went there for the first time.
When I arrived in the city, I found that every household’s door was closed and there was no one to chat with. How could it be as comfortable as living in the village?
She thought Qin Ruo would not leave this time, but from what Tiaotiao said, it seemed that her granddaughter wanted to live in Ganzhou.
"Grandma, since you asked, I'll tell you in advance. The business opportunities and atmosphere in Ganzhou City are more suitable for doing business. The last time I went to Ganzhou, I bought a new house there, and I will go back after a while. Of course, Taihe County is my starting point and my roots. No matter where I go in the future, I will come back."
"Da Lang won the first place in the middle school exam this time, so he has to go to the provincial school in Ganzhou. If you are willing, why not come with us to Ganzhou..."
Before Qin Ruo could finish her words, she was interrupted by Old Lady Qin.
"No, grandma is old, so I won't bother with that. I've lived in this village all my life, and I can still chat with fellow villagers when I go out. I'm not used to being in an unfamiliar place outside. Erlang is still here, so I won't go anywhere. Erlang can at least have a hot meal when he comes home from the academy on weekdays."
As Old Lady Qin said this, her eyes suddenly turned red.
The granddaughter was going to Ganzhou to do business, and Dalang was also going there to go to school, so the family became increasingly deserted.
Qin Ziyan said nothing and lowered his head to eat.
He was also in a mixed mood as he was about to go to Ganzhou to prepare for the provincial examination two years later.
I want to say something, but I don’t know what to say, so I can only remain silent.
The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.
"Grandma, it's okay. Don't you still have me? Uncle and the others will also look after us." Qin Zimu was still the most understanding one. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and broke the silence.
"Oh, we are only going to Ganzhou, not to the capital. Ganzhou is not far from here. If the carriage goes fast, it will take less than ten days. You can come anytime. My sister and I can go back anytime. Why are you so sad? Are you going to have breakfast? Look, sister Atang is so scared that she dare not speak."
Qin Tiaotiao looked very old-fashioned and spoke angrily with his hands folded.
"Look, I was confused for a moment. I forgot that there were guests. Yes, Tiaotiao is right, Ganzhou is not far away. Miss Jiang, just treat it as your own home, don't be polite."
Old Mrs. Qin quickly adjusted her mood and gave Jiang Tang a loving smile, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere just now.
"Grandma, you can just call me Xiaotang. I really like the lively atmosphere in your home." Jiang Tang responded with a smile, her eyes full of sincerity and joy.
He was not affected at all by the emotional fluctuations of the Qin family at the dinner table just now.
