In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 189 Preparations before departure

After Chen Ruotong returned to the Chen Mansion, she went straight to the courtyard where her two sisters-in-law were to pay them a visit.

Leng Xueqin and He Xiaolian are about to give birth, but they are not idle in the Chen Mansion.

The two of them would help keep accounts, manage the servants in the house, and handle some chores.

Since Grandma Chen was not at home and mother-in-law Zhang was busy with the affairs of the underwear workshop, the two granddaughters-in-law took on the responsibility of being the head of the family.

The two sisters-in-law get along like real sisters, cooperate with each other and support each other. It can be said that "a harmonious family brings prosperity."

Just as Chen Ruotong stepped into the yard, her two sisters-in-law were strolling leisurely in the garden with their big bellies, chatting about the autumn harvest on the farm.

Chen Ruotong walked forward and bowed to the two sisters-in-law and said, "How are you, sisters-in-law!"

Leng Xueqin smiled and responded, "Fourth brother has been busy these days since he came back. He has no time to come home and sit down. He is really tired!"

He Xiaolian also laughed and said, "Fourth brother, you are too busy! There are many things to do when there is a lot of business!"

Chen Ruotong said quickly: "My two sisters-in-law, I am here to bring you some baby supplies."

The two were very surprised and hurriedly invited Chen Ruotong into the house. Chen Ruotong followed them into the main hall. After everyone sat down and chatted for a while, Chen Ruotong got up and said goodbye and went back to her own yard.

Back in the yard, Chen Ruotong took out some pure cotton clothes for newborns, prickly heat powder, shower gel, as well as a plastic bathtub, bath towel, and several cans of high-end baby milk powder for bathing the baby from the space, all with the outer packaging removed.

She packed these things carefully, then called a servant and asked him to carry them to her two sisters-in-law.

After the servant left, Chen Ruotong sat on the chair, wondering if she should prepare some other things, after all, she would need a lot of things after the baby was born. But there was no rush now, she would think about it slowly when she had time.

The two men's eyes lit up when they looked at these strange things in front of them, but they had no idea what they were, let alone how to use them.

So, Chen Ruotong began to patiently introduce to them the purpose and usage of each item.

The two sisters-in-law listened to Chen Ruotong's introduction and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: This fourth brother is really a thoughtful person! These things are very important for a newborn baby. With these things, the children can get better care and their lives will be more convenient.

The two were very grateful to Chen Ruotong and thanked her repeatedly.

“Two sisters-in-law, we are all family, there is no need to be so polite.

I just did what I could and hope that my two little nephews and nieces can grow up healthy and happy.

If you need anything, please let me know and I will do my best to help you."

The Chen family has a new generation. Chen Ruotong is going to be an aunt, and she is a little excited!

Chen Ruotong felt that everything about the family had been arranged properly, and it was time for her and her grandfather to return to Beijing.

On the first day of September, the sky is blue and the weather is cool and crisp, making it a good day for traveling.

That morning, Old Man Chen got up very early. He packed some of his belongings and loaded them onto trucks, ready to be shipped to the capital. Looking at the two trucks full of belongings, Old Man Chen felt very relieved.

Seeing this, Chen Ruotong couldn't help laughing: "Grandpa, the house in Beijing is so big, it has everything, why do you bring so many things?

Why not leave them here and use them when we come back next time? Besides, there are too many things and it is not convenient to manage them on the road!"

Old man Chen shook his head stubbornly, "These are all my old friends. I have to take them with me wherever I go. I can't leave them behind."

Chen Ruotong sighed helplessly and said, "Grandpa, how about this, you leave these two trucks of things behind, and after we leave, there will be a special convoy responsible for transporting potatoes, sweet potato seeds, watermelons and other vegetables to the capital.

We only have one carriage this time, so the journey can be much faster, and we can reach the capital in two days."

When Old Man Chen heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me so busy for so long!"

"It's not too late to tell you now. When Qiao Zien comes, we can set off."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Zhao Tiedan drove a carriage to the gate of Chen's house. Qiao Zien and Zhao Bo also got off the carriage and entered Chen's house.

After the two sides greeted each other, Chen Ruotong and Old Man Chen got into the carriage driven by Chen Luzi, a young man from Chenjiabao.

The two carriages left the Chen Mansion one after the other.

After walking for two minutes, Chen Ruotong stopped the carriage and said, "Grandpa, I think I left something behind. I have to go back to the mansion to get it. Wait for me for a moment and I'll be back soon!"

Chen Ruotong jumped off the carriage and ran quickly into the Chen residence. Chen Jianshu and the others who were seeing her off hurriedly asked, "Xiao Si, what happened?"

"Dad, it's okay, I just left something behind, it will be fine soon, hehe..."

Chen Ruotong ran to the back of Old Man Chen's yard. There was no one there, so she put all the things that Old Man Chen had packed into the space.

After Chen Ruotong packed up all the things, she walked around Old Man Chen's yard again to make sure that she had not left anything behind before leaving with peace of mind.

When she ran back to the carriage, she saw a young man in red standing in front of Qiao Zien's carriage.

Ouch, it’s Fang Wenxuan, Chen Ruotong is ready to be a spectator!

Fang Wenxuan, dressed in red, has lost his youthfulness and has a mature, angular face. In the morning light, he looks even more youthful, energetic and handsome.

Looking at Qiao Zien who lifted the car curtain, she is also handsome, heroic, cold and noble.

This perfect couple blinded Chen Ruotong!

Tsk tsk, after watching too many BL dramas, she started to ship them again. She hoped that something would really happen between them and spark some romance...

Qiao Zien said coldly, "Fang Wenxuan, I have warned you many times not to bother me. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Fang Wenxuan said weakly, "Zi En, I just wanted to see you off. We will meet again in the capital during the next spring examination. You..."

"Go away, I don't want to see you! Gun..."

Chen Ruotong: Oh! Qiao Zien is too inconsiderate to women, how hurtful! In fact, these two are such a good match! They are both so pleasing to the eye...

Fang Wenxuan looked at Qiao Zien pitifully, then turned to look at Chen Ruotong with hatred.

This look was full of hostility and resentment. Chen Ruotong's heart skipped a beat: What does that mean? Qiao Zien rejected you because of me? Huh! ...

Only then did Chen Ruotong realize that Qiao Zien treated her differently, and that kind of feeling seemed to go beyond brotherhood!

Emma! Oh no, I'm not in love with someone.
