Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 616 Raising a Child for 1 Year, Long Worries for 99

We're all smart people; that's enough said.

Madam Huo changed her tone and gave her son some instructions on what to do on the road.

Parents everywhere have such deep sorrows; even after raising a child for a hundred years, they still worry for ninety-nine.

Wu Qingfeng listened attentively, not finding her rambling at all. After she finished speaking, he replied, "I've remembered everything!"

Madam Huo held her son's hand and sighed, "My son, I never expected you to be rich and powerful."

Wu Qingfeng returned the handshake, "Mother, only a wise ruler can bring about a prosperous era. As things stand now, the world is bound to descend into chaos, and in times of chaos, there is no happy land..."

After a pause, he said, "Besides, everything is ready, we just need the right opportunity. Rather than leaving our fate in the hands of others, we should take it in the hands of our own people."

Madam Huo patted her son's hand and said, "Go without worry, your mother is here at home."

The mother and son were grieving when they heard footsteps outside.

Before long, a child's voice could be heard, "Uncle Wu..."

The mother and son looked towards the door and saw the little girl leading the way, holding hands, followed by the short and stocky Gu Xiaobao and Xiaoman, and then Lin Chang'er holding Yudian'er and the Princess of Zhenbei.

Gu Xiaolu, leading Shujie'er, was the first to step forward. "Uncle Wu, is everything ready?"

Shu-jie stared at the small bundle, "Luckily, Uncle Wu's own bundle is only this small, otherwise you wouldn't be able to carry the one my aunt prepared."

Lin Chang'er patted Yu Dian'er's back and laughed, "With your Uncle Liu Zi helping you, there's a carriage when you go out and a big ship when you get to the dock. You don't have to carry it yourself."

Shu-jie tilted her head and tugged at the corner of her lips, "Is that so?"

Gu Xiaolu nodded, "Of course! Didn't my brother, uncle, and younger uncle just load all the things onto the carriage? They'll be taking Uncle Wu to the dock in a bit!"

Shujie said "Oh" and then fell silent.

Gu Xiaoman interjected, "Uncle Wu, Auntie brought you several kinds of Tangzi pickles, in case you don't like them on the way!"

Little Bao, eager to make his presence known, quickly stretched out his little arm to show off, "This jar is so big."

Princess Zhenbei reached out and rubbed the heads of the two children, then said to Madam Huo, "Sister, let's go down and see if everything is put away properly."

Madam Huo readily agreed, and Feng'er set off immediately. They needed to leave some time for Chang'er so that the two of them could talk.

As she spoke, she took the children out again, then, as if remembering something, she reached out to Yudian in Lin Chang'er's arms and said, "Little darling, Grandma will take you out to see the birds."

Raindrops exclaimed "Oh!" in polite response, but their eyes were full of bewilderment at what she was doing.

Madam Huo stretched her hand forward, and Yudian understood, tilting her head and hiding in Lin Chang'er's arms.

This is a refusal.

Madam Huo laughed heartily, "This child has already learned to recognize people."

Lin Chang'er touched the baby hair on Yu Dian's head, "Let him be, it's alright."

Madam Huo then went out with the Princess of Zhenbei and the other children.

Wu Qingfeng reached out and took Yudian out of Lin Chang'er's arms. Yudian didn't make a fuss; instead, she giggled and snuggled against him.

Lin Chang'er looked at his untied bundle and asked, "Is there anything else you need to bring? I'll pack it for you."

Wu Qingfeng teased Yudian, "I brought everything."

Lin Chang'er didn't check it again, and quickly tied the bundle. "At this time, it's already snowing heavily in the north. These thin clothes of yours are definitely not enough to keep you warm."

“A few days ago, I asked my second sister-in-law and Sister Xing’er to make a batch of down-filled cotton coats. Yours is in the luggage I prepared for you. I also packed two sets of undergarments for you. I made them myself. The stitching might not be the best, but you can wear them for now…”
