smoke from cooking

"

Nan Shu swallowed sullenly, you have said everything, what else can I say.I am hesitant not to go out, but also to go out with you. It is not you who are not used to it, but the wife.

After all, Nan Shu is not the kind who grew up in a deep house, indecisive, even if it is difficult to make a decision, she is still willing to take a step forward.The time of not getting used to it is always short, and the days of getting used to it should be longer.

"Okay, I'll go with you. You can take care of things on the way. Zhang Xiaoniu will also go with us."

You Ning thought that he would spend more time talking, but he didn't expect to get Nan Shu's consent in just a few words. Seeing Nan Shu's decisive face, You Ning could only smile bitterly in his heart, and he wanted to spend more time with Xiao Shu and his children They are more dependent on themselves, why Xiaoshu's face...as if she expected that she might plot something wrong.

You Ning didn't say much, he went out of the main hall, and called the children back to their rooms to rest.

Having decided to go to Qiongzhou, Nan Shu took Dou Mama to pack the two children's clothes early the next morning.Xu Xiu and Zhang Xiaoniu were also sent home by Nan Shu to pack their clothes.

It was autumn when we set off, winter was on the road, and we arrived in Qiongzhou in spring.It is said that Qiongzhou is hot in spring and not cold in winter.But Dou Mama thought it was bad for children to be sick and tired on the road, and it was better to wear thicker clothes than not enough.Each of the two children should have two thick cotton-padded clothes, two thin cotton-padded clothes, and a pair of single clothes.There are also things for washing, eating, and sleeping at night, and there are a lot of them.

Nan Shu looked at what Dou Mama had packed out, and she might have to find a special car to pull it.

"Let's simplify things, there are too many, I can't fit in the compartment, and I still have Zhang Xiaoniu's things to bring." Nan Shu picked out, and only brought one thick cotton-padded jacket, one thin cotton-padded jacket, and three unlined jackets.I don’t pay so much attention when I’m out of the house, take a bath and change clothes every day, I’ll talk about it when I get to the place.For washing utensils, I only bring the bamboo "toothbrush" that a few people usually use, and the cloth strips used to wipe the face and body.As for bedding, just bring two sheets.

If you go out and stay in a hotel, the hygienic conditions will definitely not be very good. It should be fine to cover your body with a quilt from the hotel.

After simplification, there was a full bag of clothes, plus Nan Shu's own bag of clothes, wrapped in coarse cloth, and covered with a layer of oilcloth.

It is impossible to bring too much food such as dry food. I brought six steamed buns, three baked pancakes, and ten boiled eggs.Dou Mama wanted to prepare meat buns for the children, but after Nan Shu thought about it, she decided to forget it, and found a place to eat in the inn along the way.You Ning took this journey last year, and it is much safer to walk again this year. There are no villages in the front and shops in the back. Even if there are, it is impossible for too many.Bringing dry food is just a preparation to fill the stomach temporarily when you are hungry before you arrive at the place.

"It's enough to prepare some, bring more water. Are there any pills for motion sickness at the pharmacy in the county, and the medicine for hands and feet injuries? Is there any medicine for seasickness?"

"Master Mama, Dr. Xu is the doctor of the pharmacy. If you want any medicine, just tell him and he will prepare it."

Nan Shu gave the money to Dou Mama.Let him ask Xu Ju for medicine.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all ready, and the rest of the accommodation is temporarily settled, and the transportation is prepared by You Ning.Nan Shu calculated it over and over again, and felt that she had nothing to miss.

For the rest of the day, Nan Shu went to Liang's house and Fan's house respectively, saying that she would go to Qiongzhou once, and the small courtyard of Zhang's house was handed over to Dou Mama to help look after it.

Liang Yunqi felt that Nan Shu's trip to Qiongzhou for no reason was completely out of her mind, everything was fine at home, and it was difficult to go out half a step.After persuading Nan Shu for a long time, seeing that Nan Shu was still determined to go, she ordered someone to prepare some pastries for Zhang's children to eat on the way.With the Zhang family's child gone, Liang Tong's husband had to hire someone again.

Liang Tong didn't say anything about Zhang's family going to Qiongzhou, but he decided not to go there to have a look, at most he would come back next year.Liang Yunqi said that he would hire a new husband for him, but Liang Tong also pushed back, "When Nan Mama comes back from Qiongzhou, Zhang Ri Zhangyue will naturally have to invite a new husband. While Nan Mama is away, I will stay at home and learn from Ni. It’s something people should learn.”

Liang Yunqi's eyes widened when he heard this, he couldn't believe it.After hearing this, Nan Shu could only say, "It doesn't hurt to learn more."

After bidding farewell to the Liang family, Nan Shu's stay with the Fan family was extremely smooth.Although Fan Mama was also taken aback, but thinking about the rumors heard some time ago, that Mr. You, who rented the backyard of Zhang's family, started a business in Qiongzhou, and thinking about the past of You Ning and Nan Shu, Fan Mama Only when Nan Shu finally figured it out and was willing to accept You Ning, she went to Qiongzhou this time and said that she would come back next year, but who knows what will happen next year?It's hard to say, the family will not come back next year.

Fan Mama gave Nan Shu two pieces of good material, saying it was for the children to make a new suit of clothes, and she also gave a pouch with ten taels of silver sealed inside.

Nan Shu took it over, touched it, and immediately retreated, "Why don't you just go out for a walk, what are you sending these for?"

"When you're away from home, it's inevitable that you'll have money. Keep it." Fan Mama handed it to Nan Shu again.

Nan Shu couldn't make excuses, so she accepted it, thinking that when she arrived in Qiongzhou, she would buy some novelty and fun things for Fan Mama and his children as souvenirs.

After bidding farewell to Fan Mama's family, Nan Shu's affairs in the county were almost settled.When You Ning prepared his chariot and horses, and chose a sunny day, Nan Shu took Zhang Ri Zhangyue, Zhang Xiaoniu and Xu Xiu together and set off to Qiongzhou.

Nan Shu and Zhang Ri Zhangyue squeezed into a carriage, Xu Xiu and luggage squeezed into a carriage, Zhang Xiaoniu sat on the carriage with the driver, You Ning rode a horse, and the group set off to the south.

He rode a horse and drove south all the way, turned a corner and headed east until he reached the beach. You Ning hired a big boat, and a group of people boarded the boat. The big boat went south along the wind and water.

Nan Shu walked around the boat, and saw that there were other passengers besides herself, and they didn't look like rich people in their clothes, but they looked like a small rich family like herself.

"This ship turned out to be a cargo ship. Some people who can't afford to hire a large ship alone will also hire this kind of cargo ship. The owner is willing to make more money. Xiao Shu, you want to see the scenery on both sides of the river. Come out and see after the ship sails." Now that there are many people and many things, it is important to take care of the children." You Ning followed Nan Shu closely, his eyes moved around, and whenever his eyes drifted towards Nan Shu, You Ning gave him a sharp look.

Nan Shu also felt impatient.Going back to the cabin with You Ning, You Ning booked two rooms, Nan Shu took Zhang Yue, Xu Xiu lived in one, You Ning took Zhang Ri, Zhang Xiaoniu lived in one.The two rooms happen to be opposite each other, so if you have something to shout at the door, you can hear it from the opposite side.

Nan Shu told Zhang Ri to listen to You Ning's orders and not to run around.Zhang Ri nodded indiscriminately, and dragged Zhang Xiaoniu to the opposite room.

On Nan Shu's side, Xu Xiu had already tidied up quickly. Nan Shu hugged Zhang Yue and sat opposite Xu Xiu at the window of the boat.The windows of the boat are not big, about the length and width of a small arm, and the windows are movable. If you push the windows out, you can clearly see the scene on the shore.

On the shore of the boat, sweaty coolies moved back and forth to carry goods, food, water, etc. on the boat. In front of the boat, there were more than a dozen people carrying their burdens and walking towards the boat. They seemed to be guests on the boat.

The county where the boat stops seems to be named Nankai, which means walking south.Nankai County was not big at first, but later because there were too many merchants traveling to and from the south, it was often impossible to disembark ships there. Nankai, a small county town, happened to have one or two places suitable for berthing. Parked in Nankai County, so as not to fight with others.

In the distance from the river bank, low-rise houses can be seen faintly, which seem to be not much different from the county town where Nan Shu lives.

"This is Nankai City. I've heard it mentioned before, but it's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes." Xu Xiu greedily looked at the scenery outside the window. Although the scenery outside the window remained the same, Xu Xiu felt that he couldn't get enough of it.

"It's also my first time to take a boat." Nan Shu touched the wood on the boat, "I don't know if I will get seasick." Nan Shu didn't get seasick before, but it's hard to say if she changed her body.

After hearing this, Xu Xiu also became worried, and took out the seasickness pills Xu Ju gave her, "Press one under the tongue, this is really dizzy, so I take it with water."

Nan Shu looked at the pill, "Doctor Xu is more careful."

Xu Xiu was taken aback, looked down at the pill in her hand, and answered after a while, "A doctor should be careful."

Qiongzhou

The big ship was heading south, berthing every three days to replenish water and food. Nan Shu was stuffy in the cabin for three days. As soon as the big ship stopped, she immediately grabbed Xu Xiu and ran ashore. , followed closely behind Nan Shu.

Nan Shu thought it was a trip this time, and walked all the way to the market to see if there were any novelty items, so that she could buy them back as gifts for Fan Mama and Liang Yunqi.After walking around the market, I found that the stalls bought the same things as those sold in the county town. Even if they were a bit new, it was not worth traveling thousands of miles to buy them back.

Seeing Nan Shu only turning around, You Ning immediately understood what he meant, "The boats are all moored in the county towns, so naturally there are not as many supplies as the prefectural cities. When we get to Qiongzhou, we will look there. Qiongzhou has many small things on the other side of the sea, which are suitable for us. Keep it for fun, or give it away as a gift."

"Okay." After walking around but not finding her favorite item, Nan Shu was also a little discouraged, "I'll go buy some fruit. Every day I eat steamed buns on the boat, and eat fruit for a new way.

Large boats cover, not including food and water.When disembarking this time, the group had to go to the restaurant to buy buns and steamed buns, prepare clean water, and save enough for the next three days.

Nan Shu chose a dozen big and round fruits. Nan Shu forgot what the specific names were, but she only remembered that Dou Mama bought them and ate them.
