CHAPTER 241: CHAPTER 241: SPRING HAS ARRIVED

Yun Jiao prepared some portable common medicinal pellets, and also carried the food box specially prepared by Guihua, while Ah Hu brought along several water pouches.

After sorting out all these things, she went into the house to get her kite.

As soon as she came out with the kite, she accidentally bumped into Lao Jiu.

She saw Lao Jiu with his hair slicked and glossy, dressed in brand new clothes, and his beard freshly shaved, looking as if he was twenty years younger.

Yun Jiao looked at him and chuckled.

Lao Jiu uneasily tugged at his clothes, "Boss, do I look strange like this?"

Yun Jiao, smiling, said, "Strange? Not at all, you look good. I really couldn’t tell, Lao Jiu looks quite handsome after tidying up."

"And youthful, too."

Lao Jiu embarrassedly scratched his head, "Do I really look youthful?"

Yun Jiao nodded affirmatively.

Lao Jiu chuckled and walked towards the kitchen, peering inside through the window.

Suddenly, Yun Jiao figured it all out.

It turned out spring had arrived, and the peach blossoms had bloomed.

Jiang Youzhi came over at this moment, took the kite from Yun Jiao’s hand, and they walked outside.

As they reached the shop at the front, Yun Jiao caught sight of Lin Shuo in the corner and called out, "Mr. Lin, join us."

This was something Ah Hu had asked her to do yesterday, suggesting that Lin Shuo should go out more to improve his mood.

Lin Shuo only thought Yun Jiao wanted him to be a guard, so he got up and came out.

Outside, two horse-drawn carriages were waiting.

Yun Jiao took Yingzi and San Ya in one carriage, while Jiang Youzhi took Liu Lang and Gu Chuan in another.

Lin Shuo drove the carriage for Yun Jiao and her companions.

Passing by a pastry shop, Jiang Youzhi sent a servant to buy some pastries, and they continued moving forward.

The carriage continued beyond the city gate and traveled for another half an hour before reaching the destination.

When Yun Jiao got off the carriage and looked around, the peach grove stretched as far as the eye could see, with peach blossoms partly blooming, making it look like a pink and white cloud settled by the river.

Near the riverbank, there was a large open space with sparse wild grass growing on the ground.

Perhaps due to Xiang City’s limited leisurely places, many carriages had already parked along the roadside.

In the peach grove, indistinctly scattered everywhere, tourists could be seen.

A few children got off the carriage and pointed at the open space, "Let’s go fly the kites over there!"

The children didn’t know how to appreciate the scenery yet; they just enjoyed eating and playing.

Yun Jiao held onto San Ya and Yingzi’s hands as they headed towards the open space.

Maybe because the third month of the year was approaching, there was quite a breeze by the river.

Liu Lang held up the kite and ran against the wind, while Jiang Youzhi just had to pull the string slightly for the kite to start flying.

Jiang Youzhi quickly released the string longer and saw Gu Chuan itching to take over, so he handed the spool to him.

Gu Chuan was carried a few steps by the kite.

Yun Jiao was already eager to try and seeing Jiang Youzhi coming over, she hurriedly said, "San Lang, help me get the kite up."

She had never flown a kite since childhood; her grandparents doted on her, but being older, they had never thought of it.

Jiang Youzhi laughed, "Then you hold the kite and run, I’ll help you by releasing the string."

Releasing the string required skill, and he happened to be quite good at it.

Jiang Youzhi first corrected Yun Jiao’s handling of the kite and then said, "Just run, when I shout ’Release’, you let go."

Yun Jiao excitedly nodded, held the kite, and ran out.

Jiang Youzhi quickly fed out the spool, suddenly shouted, "Release!"

Yun Jiao let go, and the beautiful kite wobbly took flight.
