When Bai Yimao and the others heard the news that Luo Yong's family was going to Chang'an City soon, they immediately went to Second Uncle Bai to discuss it.

Luo Yong is going to Chang'an City, are they going to Chang'an too?The husband is gone, why are they still staying in Xipo Village?

Second Uncle Bai is also thinking about this issue at this time. Although Xipo Village is a rare place where these young people can calm down and learn something, since Luo Yong is going to work in Chang'an City at this time, and the return date is uncertain, they It seems pointless to stay any longer.

Why don't you just go back to Chang'an with them, the adults in the family haven't seen these children for a long time, let's take this opportunity to go back for a reunion, it's almost the end of the new year.

"Let's go with the Luo family in a few days." Second Uncle Bai said.

"Aww!!!" The middle two boys went crazy with joy!We are finally going back to Chang'an City!Although Xipo Village is not bad, how can it compare to the bustle and bustle of Chang'an City? In this small mountain village, there is basically no other entertainment except for studying and walking all day long. Just suffocated.

But before going back, I still have to buy some specialties that should be bought. I heard that there is also a sister’s restaurant in Chang’an City. There is the chili sauce from Luo Sanlang's family, but it is not available there for the time being.

A few young people went to the small street of Yangshe to buy bean bags, and they opened up to several hundred catties. They were packed in clean white linen bags, and the bags were stacked on the carriage. They came here on horseback before, but now they are here The county town went to equip these horses with carriages, those who sat on people sat on people, and those who carried goods carried goods.

The Luo family had no horses, so Second Uncle Bai lent them his own carriage. In return, Luo Yong gave him a lot of bean paste, and also copied a set of questions for him.

For this set of questions, Uncle Bai really couldn't put it down. He has always admired Luo Sanlang's ability to come up with questions, how could he come up with so many such ingenious questions.

Luo Sanlang: For those teaching staff in the 21st century, the technical masters who came up with the questions are gone. Have you heard of the sea of ​​questions?With regard to these few topics, it is simply a drop in the bucket and a drop in the bucket.

Not many days later, Luo Yong's appointment paperwork also came down, and he made an appointment with Second Uncle Bai, and the morning of the second day will start.

Seeing that we are about to leave soon, let alone, I am really reluctant, especially the one donkey and two dogs in the yard. The dogs have to be kept to guard the house. There are still many things in the Luo family yard, especially the backyard. The donkey walked slowly and couldn't keep up with the speed of the carriage, so Luo Yong didn't take it this time.

Thinking about their whole family gone, leaving only a donkey, two dogs and a flock of chickens in the yard, I felt really sad. That night, Luo Yong gave them all extra meals.

"Wu Duo, you have to take good care of the house. Brother said we will be back when spring begins." Qiniang said, patting Wu Dui's body.

"Ang En...Ang En...Pfft..." Wu Duo yelled at this guy and snorted, looking a little uneasy.

"Brother, can't we bring five pairs as well?" Liu Lang squatted aside and asked.

"We take the carriage, it can't catch up, if Xu Dalang and the others are going to Chang'an City after a while, ask him to help us take it there." Luo Yong replied.

Xu Dalang and his wife also wanted to go to Chang'an City to see their son and daughter-in-law, but they didn't have a carriage right now, so they said that when the next batch of eucommia glue came out, they would just send some to Chang'an City for Mrs. Go there with the caravan of Mars Trading Company.

Lin Wulang also wanted to go to Chang'an City. He mentioned this matter with Lin's father and Lin's mother, but the old couple kept silent. Although they didn't stop him from going, they didn't agree to let him go.

Lin Wulang also knew that Luo Yong was nervous about their carriage, so he said that he would talk to Ye Niang again when the Xu family went to Chang'an in a few days.Lin Wulang also knew that the old couple were worried that once he went to Chang'an City, he would stay there and never come back.

When we set off on the second day, apart from Luo Yong's disciples and the craftsmen in the workshop, the villagers in the village also came out to see them off.

"Sanlang, when will you come back after you go?" the old man in the village asked Luo Yong's hand.

Tian Cun was leaving, and Luo Sanlang was leaving too. After they left, they didn't know if they would be able to come back in the future. How wonderful is Chang'an City, it must be much better than their Xipo Village.

"I'll come back next spring." Luo Yong said with a smile, not shying away from Dr. Chen and others.

"Really? Didn't you come to Beijing this time to become an official?" The villager said in surprise.

"I am also a temporary official. I just went to teach arithmetic, and I will come back after I have learned." Luo Yong said frankly.

The villagers were originally reluctant to leave Luo Yong, but when they heard what he said, they felt a little uncomfortable.

"Since you are teaching them arithmetic, you are their teacher. How can you call you back after teaching them?"

"Killing the donkey just to unload the mill, that's not kind."

"If you don't want to be Sanlang, then don't go, and let someone be a spearman for nothing."

"This is clearly because we country people are easy to bully!"

Luo Yong looked at the faces of Dr. Chen and the others, and couldn't help laughing: "It's just that I don't want to stay there any longer. How can we stay in Xipo Village outside? You just need to guard the village well. Spring will come back."

"Hey, then you should be careful on the road."

"If Chang'an City is really good, it's fine if you don't come back."

"I can come back anytime I want, and now this road is easy to go."

"Being an official is good. When you, Ye Niang, were alive, I hoped that you would have this day."

After hearing what they said, Luo Yong felt a little sore in his heart. He recalled that when he first woke up, he grinded soybean milk and made tofu with these villagers. At that time, the Luo family was poor and the villagers did not How much better than the Luo family.

In the twinkling of an eye, four full years have passed. During these four years, the dusty yellow mud village in the past has changed its appearance now. Many people have repaired their yards and plastered the walls and floors with cement. , there is not only food in the house, but also copper coins and cloth, swallows flying, and a threshing machine...

After getting along these times, although I have encountered some things and had some bumps and bumps, it is generally good.

At such a moment of parting, recalling the friendship of the past, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of reluctance in my heart.

Fortunately, the five pairs and Mai Qingdouli were all tied up in the yard in advance by him, otherwise this moment would only be more sad. The children in the car would probably cry.

Luo Yong bid farewell to everyone again, then turned around and got into the carriage, and set off.

The servants of Second Uncle Bai drove them. Luo Yong and Si Niang, Liu Lang and Qi Niang were in the same carriage. So it wasn't very crowded, and Goro was arranged to take the car with Dr. Chen.

This was also brought up by Dr. Chen himself, saying that there were a little more people on Luo Yong's side, and there were only him and Qiao Junlin on his side, and it would be easier to arrange a child to go there. Luo Yong thought about it and let Goro go.

Wu Lang was still in school, but when he heard that Luo Yong was going to take everyone to Chang'an City, he was afraid that he would be left behind.

How could Luo Yong do that? He went to Xiaohe Village to ask their husband for a winter vacation, and then brought them out. Anyway, Goro didn’t go to school every year after it snowed. He has grown up in two years, and he has been studying in Xiaohe village for a long time, and the knowledge of the gentleman in Xiaohe village is relatively limited, and it is almost time to change schools for him.

The snow hadn't fallen in the past two days, and the carriage traveled fast and steadily on the cement road. It took a day to travel a long distance. In the evening, the group of them stopped in front of a post station.

Because Dr. Chen was originally an official of the imperial court, Luo Yong also went to Chang'an City to take up his post this time, and Second Uncle Bai and others were of extraordinary backgrounds, so the group lived in the post station very smoothly. When going out, staying in a post station is better than living in a private guesthouse. Be more at ease.

Luo Yong carried the two children off the carriage one by one, and then saw the kid Goro getting off the carriage in front with his head drooping.

That guy Qiao Junlin is a study freak, Dr. Chen is also a foodie, so you can figure out what the atmosphere in their carriage is like with your toes.

This inn is very spacious, but the facilities are relatively simple, and there is no food supply.

When Luo used them to go in, he saw a group of people grilling meat in the hall. There was a pottery pot with charcoal burning in it, and two large knives were placed on it, and the meat slices were placed on the knife board. Bake and eat.

Luo Yong and his party just came in from the outside, covered with cold air, sat in the car for a whole day, their hands and feet were all wooden, when they came in, they could smell the smell of meat all over the room, seeing those people eating meat and eating meat It's drinking, let alone, I'm really envious.

"Boy, do you want to come and eat a few slices of barbecue?" A fat man in his 50s and [-]s smiled and waved to Liu Lang.

"Don't eat." Liu Lang hugged Luo Yong's thigh and hid behind him.

"Thank you, brother, for your kindness. We will start the fire ourselves." Luo Yong cupped his hands to the other side.

"Hey, it's all right." The other party waved his hand and said indifferently.They have a lot of meat here, but not much wine, so they don't really want to invite strangers to eat together. It's okay for children to come and eat a few pieces of meat, but it's okay for adults.

Not long after, Luo Yong and their side were almost settled, and several servants brought in ingredients from the carriage.

Luo Yong had someone burn a stove, first blanch a pot of bean sprouts and cabbage, and then put another copper pot on the stove to burn.

The few people who were eating barbecue over there stretched their necks to look this way, and when they saw the white raw vegetables in their pot, they shook their heads and clicked their tongues. They were on their way outside in this cold weather, so they didn’t want to eat. OK how can it work?

Luo Yong used some ginger and garlic to boil the pot for a while, and then added a ladle of water to it. This is not a place like Xu's guest house when he is away from home, so there is no need to think about broth.

Put the water directly to cook, add some homemade bean paste and chili oil that has just been fried in the past two days, and when it boils, put the thinly sliced ​​mutton and cook together. When it is cooked, finally put the vegetables that have just been blanched in, and you can start eating.

How else can I say that the bean paste and chili oil are so well-made, as long as you add these two things into it and cook it casually, the taste will always be the same.

Luo Yong used to eat a lot of such flavors in Sichuan restaurants, and sometimes he would feel a little tired, but for people at this time...

The meat of those brothers over there were all burnt, they didn't realize it yet, Luo Yong could smell burnt, and if it continued to roast, it would stick to the knife board.

Luo used his group of people to eat boiled meat slices around the small stove, and the dry food they each brought. There was still corn porridge on the stove next to it. The corn is not cooked yet, but if anyone is thirsty, he can scoop it up Some rice soup came up to drink, and Luo Yong made a bowl for each of the children in his family. Watching them eating boiled pork slices and drinking corn soup, they seemed to be in good spirits, and they felt relieved. I feel relieved a lot.

As for the men over there who were staring at them vigorously, everyone pretended not to see them. Many people, there is only such a pot of hot food in total, and there is not enough for their own people. If they are hospitable or something, then Forget it anyway.
