Chapter 84 Arrival
Chapter 84 Arrival
After more than half a month, Xiao Siyue and her group finally arrived in Qianyuan County.
When they arrived at the Qianyuan County government office, Xiao Qinian and Lin Qin were already waiting at the entrance. After they set off, Xiao Qiren wrote a letter to Xiao Qinian.
Letters arrive faster than they do, so Xiao Qinian already knew they were coming back and had even calculated the date.
"Father, Mother!" Upon seeing her parents, Xiao Siyue excitedly jumped down from the carriage and ran happily to the couple.
"Yue'er, slow down, be careful not to fall." Lin Qin quickly caught Xiao Siyue, looking at her daughter with a doting expression.
"Dad, Mom, I miss you so much," Xiao Siyue said, her eyes red and her voice muffled as she hugged Lin Qin.
Lin Qin's eyes were also red, and she held her daughter in her arms, offering silent comfort.
Xiao Siyue cried for a while before lifting her head from Lin Qin's arms.
She wiped away her tears, turned around, and found everyone staring at her, making her feel a little embarrassed.
"Father, Mother, let's go inside." Xiao Qinian said to the elderly couple after seeing that his daughter was better.
"Okay," Old Mrs. Xiao replied. Several days of traveling had left her exhausted, and all she wanted to do was rest for a while.
Upon arriving at the backyard of the government office, Xiao Qinian first poured a cup of tea for the elderly couple. After they drank it, Xiao Qinian said, "Father, Mother, you should go to your room and rest for a while. You must be very tired these past few days."
The two elderly people from the Xiao family nodded and went to their room.
"Yue'er, do you want to go to sleep for a while too?" Lin Qin looked at her daughter's somewhat haggard face and touched it tenderly.
"Mom, I'm not sleepy. I'm not going to sleep yet. I have something to tell you." Xiao Siyue looked at Xiao Qinian and then looked around.
Xiao Qinian immediately understood and waved for the maidservant in the room to leave.
Xiao Qinian said, "Yue'er, tell me, what's wrong?"
Xiao Siyue took out the sweet potato seeds from the system.
Although Xiao Qinian and his wife had already seen it, they couldn't help but admire this miraculous skill in their hearts.
"Dad, Mom, this is the reward for this mission." Xiao Siyue pointed to a bag of sweet potatoes on the ground.
Xiao Qinian immediately opened the bag and took out a sweet potato.
"Yue'er, what is this? Is it also a grain seed?" Xiao Qinian asked hurriedly, holding his breath.
“Yes, Dad, this is a type of grain similar to potatoes,” Xiao Siyue explained.
"Similar to potatoes, what about the yield?" Xiao Qinian asked anxiously.
"The output is about the same, maybe even a little higher," Xiao Siyue said conservatively.
"Taller than potatoes!" Xiao Qinian exclaimed. The yield of potatoes had already shocked him, but he never expected that this sweet potato would be even taller than potatoes.
"However, sweet potato cultivation is a bit more troublesome than potato cultivation," Xiao Siyue couldn't help but say, seeing her father so happy.
"Oh? Is it different from potato cultivation?" Xiao Qinian asked in confusion, looking at the two things, which seemed similar, both being dug out of the ground.
"Yes, sweet potatoes can't just be cut into pieces and planted directly in the ground. You need to start seedlings first and then transplant them."
"Oh, I see! But it's all fine. With such high production, any trouble is no big deal." Xiao Qinian didn't see it as a problem.
“Dad, we brought you over two hundred pounds of potatoes this time. Is there any space here to plant them?” Xiao Siyue asked again.
“Yes, yes,” Xiao Qinian said, surprised to find a little surprise.
"The potatoes are on the carriage. Go get them later."
"Okay, I'll go right away. Yue'er, you go and rest first." Xiao Qinian said and turned to leave.
"Yue'er, let me take you to rest." Lin Qin pulled Xiao Siyue towards the room.
"Yue'er, do you like this room? Your mother prepared this especially for you."
Although Xiao Siyue hasn't been here for the past two years, Lin Qin still prepared a room for her and decorated it according to Xiao Siyue's preferences.
Xiao Siyue looked at the room with surprise and delight. It was similar to her home but more exquisite and larger. Her heart was filled with emotion, and she happily ran inside.
There was also a large wardrobe in the room.
“Mom, you even made a wardrobe!” Xiao Siyue said happily.
"Yes, we've gotten used to the wardrobes at home, so after we came here, we had a few made," Lin Qin said. Since having wardrobes, they've found it hard to get used to the big, heavy cabinets they used to have.
"Yue'er, open it and take a look," Lin Qin said mysteriously to Xiao Siyue.
Xiao Siyue pulled open the closet door and saw it was full of clothes. She took one out and held it up to herself, feeling that it fit her perfectly.
Xiao Siyue looked at Lin Qin happily.
"Mother, did you make all of these for me?"
"Yes, this was specially made for you by your mother." Lin Qin had been making clothes for Xiao Siyue whenever she had free time over the past two years, hoping that her daughter could wear them as soon as she arrived. Now these clothes finally have a home.
"Thank you, Mother." Xiao Siyue hugged Lin Qin tightly, deeply moved.
"Alright, alright, go to bed and rest for a while. You can look at it after you've rested. Your mother has prepared other things for you," Lin Qin said, patting Xiao Siyue's back.
"Mmm," Xiao Siyue was about to get into bed when she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Xiao Siyu since she came in.
"Mother, where is my brother? I haven't seen him."
“Your brother has gone to the academy to study. He will be back this afternoon.” Xiao Siyu has been studying at Qingshan Academy for the past two years. Because Xiao Qinian has been quite busy these past two years and has not had much time to teach him, he sent him to the academy.
However, in the evening, Xiao Siyu still had to receive personal instruction from Xiao Qinian.
Xiao Siyue slept soundly on the bed that Lin Qin had specially prepared, feeling refreshed and energized.
When I woke up, I found Lin Qin sitting at the table doing needlework.
"Mother, have you been watching over me all this time?"
"Hmm, I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it." Seeing that her daughter was awake, Lin Qin put down her needlework, walked to the bedside, and changed Xiao Siyue into a new dress.
"Hehe, thank you, Mom." Xiao Siyue smiled as softly as a kitten.
"Wipe your face, let's go eat." Lin Qin picked up a handkerchief and wiped Xiao Siyue's face.
He then pulled Xiao Siyue to sit on the embroidered stool and dressed her up.
Xiao Siyue saw the hair ornaments on her head through the bronze mirror on the table.
"Mother, did you prepare this for me?"
"Yes, that box on the table contains all the things your mother prepared for you." Xiao Siyue opened the box, which was filled with all sorts of exquisite hair accessories, making her almost dazzled.
Xiao Siyue happily closed the box. She would wear it in different ways every day from now on.
"Mom, are Grandpa and Grandma awake yet?" Xiao Siyue looked outside; it seemed quite late. It appeared she had slept for a long time.
"He's awake and talking to your father in the front hall. Let's hurry over there."
"it is good."
Xiao Siyue responded and went to the front hall with Lin Qin.
