CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 178: THEY’RE TRYING TO RUN

Jiang Hua felt secretly delighted, as the two elders followed his words. In the future, after their passing, the land and the main house would be his.

He exchanged a glance with the Liu Family and stepped forward to support the old man, "Dad, don’t be angry with my second brother, he seems to be not very normal in the head now."

The noise from the main house accompanied Yun Jiao and the others as they finished their New Year’s meal.

In the evening, Mrs. Chen generously lit two pots of charcoal, and the family sat in the main hall, warming themselves and staying up for New Year’s Eve.

Jiang Youzhi casually announced, "In a couple of days, that is, on the third day of the New Year, our whole family will travel far."

Sixth Brother loved going out the most and happily asked, "Where to, where to?"

Jiang Youzhi smiled, "To Prefecture City."

Sixth Brother was almost overwhelmed with joy, "Great, great! I’ve heard Prefecture City is so fun, the best of the best places."

Gu Chuan, standing nearby, disagreed, "Who says so? The Capital City is the best place!"

Yun Jiao watched the children bickering with a smile on her face.

Jiang Youzhi sat by the fire, quietly peeling sunflower seeds.

Before long, he had peeled a pile, placed them on a small plate, and silently handed it to Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao was increasingly satisfied with this little brother-in-law, and she accepted it with a smile, eating at her own pace.

On the first day of the New Year, the Jiang Family felt rather quiet.

Last year, with Da Lang and Erlang gone, the Jiang Family couldn’t visit relatives during New Year.

Mrs. Chen also decided not to go out and spent two consecutive days at home sorting things, having already packed several large bundles.

Yun Jiao also mostly organized her and Gu Chuan’s belongings.

On the evening of the second day of the New Year, the family went to bed early.

At the yin hour (four o’clock), Mrs. Chen got up.

She fried a bunch of pancakes using eggs and flour, then Jiang Youzhi also got up, ate the pancakes, and helped tidy the kitchen.

Yun Jiao and Third Sister also got up.

First, they packed up the bedding on the bed, then, after washing up, went to the kitchen to eat pancakes.

By the beginning of the mao hour, Liu Er’s cart arrived.

He shouted twice outside, and Jiang Youzhi quickly went out to open the courtyard gate. The horse carriage drove in, followed by two more carriages, with Liu Er and two coachmen helping load things onto them.

The large iron pot, cutting board, and even Mrs. Chen’s medicine jar were taken along.

One cart had no cover, just right for loading luggage, with pots, bowls, boxes, and such all piled on top of it.

Liu Er’s cart and another one had covers, with some bedding inside, perfectly suited for people to sit in.

As everyone busily loaded the carts, Yang Shi, who got up to make breakfast, yawned as she came out of the house. She was stunned to see three carts in the courtyard and then turned back into the house to shout for Jiang Rong, "Husband, get up, the main family is about to run away!"

Jiang Rong groggily sat up in bed, "What?"

Yang Shi was anxious, "The main family is moving house, the stuff is all piled onto the carts, you better go take a look!"

Jiang Rong quickly got up, put on clothes, and ran outside to see. Oh my, the three carts were already piled high with luggage on one of them.

He hurriedly came over and grabbed Jiang Youzhi, who was putting quilts onto the cart, "Third Brother, where are you going?"

Jiang Youzhi smiled at him, "I’m planning to go to Prefecture City to study."

Jiang Rong said, "To study?"

He pointed at the iron pot on another cart, "And you need to take an iron pot to study?"

Jiang Youzhi shook off his hand and said indifferently, "Mother is going too, to take care of me."
