Chapter 106: 106. Luo Song

"Young Master Luo..." Hua Chengtian was quite surprised.

Upon seeing his lifesaver Luo Song cheerfully step out of the carriage, his eyes instantly curved into a smile.

"Uncle Hua, why do you still call me Young Master Luo? Just call me Xiao Luo or Xiao Song. Are you unwilling to acknowledge me as the younger generation?"

The tone was very affectionate, showing that Luo Song was in a great mood.

Hua Chengtian: "..."

Their relationship wasn’t close enough to call him Xiao Luo, but calling him Luo Song wasn’t off the table.

But as a man, he didn’t dwell on such matters, so he nodded promptly, "Luo Song, you’re here to see Yun Ao, right?" Hua Chengshuai flicked the whip in his hand, and the carriage behind followed suit.

Fortunately, the width of the roads in Hua Village was sufficient, otherwise, two carriages wouldn’t manage side by side.

Unexpectedly, Luo Song shook his head, "No, I’m specifically here to visit Grandpa Hua and Grandma Hua, as well as Uncle and Auntie. Isn’t it almost the end of the year? I came to deliver festival gifts to the elders."

"Why is this child still so polite, bringing festival gifts? We haven’t even finished the things you brought last time." Hua Chengtian frowned and gave Luo Song a sidelong look.

In his heart, he understood that the child was still grateful for the lifesaving grace. Otherwise, why would he make this special trip? At the same time, he felt more at ease, knowing that someone as indebted and sentimental as Luo Song wouldn’t spill the beans about the snow salt affair.

"Uncle, all these are our own stuff; it didn’t cost much silver coin." Luo Song felt a warmth in his heart.

"That won’t do either," Hua Chengtian seemed to realize his voice was a bit loud, so he glanced at Luo Song and softened it, "Luo Song, Uncle knows your family doesn’t lack silver. You’ve said Uncle is not an outsider, so next time don’t bring anything. Just come, and Uncle will have your aunt cook something delicious for you."

Even the greatest favor will eventually be used up, Hua Chengtian thought further ahead and didn’t want to consume resources unnecessarily.

Words like these hadn’t been said to him for a long time. Everyone else just hoped to get more benefits from him.

The temperature outside was bone-chillingly cold, but at that moment, Luo Song truly felt warm inside.

"Alright, I’ll listen to Uncle." Luo Song, who had never grinned before, displayed a mouthful of large white teeth.

His handsome and graceful demeanor now carried a hint of simplicity, significantly reducing the noble air around him, making him instantly feel more approachable.

Even Hua Chengtian, at that moment, felt this young man was quite decent, gaining a sense of closeness.

"Chengtian, who’s in the carriage?" A passing villager curiously looked at the carriage accompanying Hua Chengtian.

"Oh, Uncle Cong, it’s Yun Ao’s classmate, here to visit," Hua Chengtian replied with a smile, offering a simple introduction.

Elder Hua Cong suddenly realized that it was Yun Ao’s classmate. No wonder!

The person in the carriage didn’t look like one of them, with luxurious attire and a demeanor suggesting he was from a wealthy family.

No wonder there hadn’t been mentions of such rich relatives in Hua Man’s family.

"Oh, it’s Yun Ao’s classmate then, hurry on home, it’s too cold outside," Elder Hua Cong said with a crease-filled smile, waving his hand, and refraining from disturbing the noble young man on the carriage any further.

Hua Chengtian nodded.

Watching the exquisite carriage slowly fade away, a trace of envy flashed in Elder Hua Cong’s eyes as he pondered whether he should also let his grandson study.

Without studying, how could they have the opportunity to meet such wealthy friends!

But the thought of the costs of studying immediately dampened Hua Cong’s spirits.

It’s a great idea, but it’s just that, as their family barely had enough to eat, where could they find extra money to send the kid to study!

With a sigh, Hua Cong shook his head and made his way home, thinking perhaps it was time to consult with the village chief’s family, and attempt to grow some indoor vegetables next year.

It wasn’t just Hua Cong with this idea. Seeing that the families of Aunt Lin and others were making considerable silver coin, many villagers were jealous and simultaneously started considering the idea of growing vegetables, but it was already too late for this year, so they would have to wait until next year.

Meanwhile, Hua Chengtian had brought Luo Song to their doorstep. Before entering, he called out loudly inside.

"Dad, Mom, Yun Ao, come out and see who’s here?"

This shout made everyone in the warm central room come out, especially the lively Xiaosi, who ran the fastest, struggling to move the door heavier than himself.

Initially, everyone thought it might be the daughter (sister-in-law/aunt), as the father (husband/father) went to their house right after leaving, so there was a bit of excitement!

But upon seeing the bullock behind the carriage, the excitement faded instantly.

After all, both daughters were busy; how could they easily come over?

Disappointment aside, everyone was quite pleased to see the elegant young man in the carriage.

"Oh, it’s Luo Song. Why did you come in such cold weather? Come in quickly," Grandma Hua called out warmly, grabbing Luo Song’s hand, "Look how cold your hands are," she said with concern, pulling him into the main room with Grandpa Hua echoing along.

Seeing this family that made him feel warm, Luo Song smiled with his eyes and quickly greeted everyone, not even missing Xiaosi.

Hua Yunao was also quite surprised. The recent wintering days were incredibly dull, and Luo Song’s visit provided a perfect opportunity to delve into some book matters he couldn’t quite figure out.

If Luo Song knew that Hua Yunao anticipated his visit just to discuss book content, he might regret coming over, as studying wasn’t his passion.

"Brother Luo, why didn’t you send someone to inform me? I would have come to meet you," said a joyful Hua Yunao, looking at his friend.

Faced with such a warm family, Luo Song found it almost impossible to decide whom to respond to first, though clearly, elders took precedence.

He smiled affectionately at Grandma Hua, "I’m not cold, Grandma Hua," showcasing his silver fox fur cloak. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"You say you’re not cold, but look at those cold little hands. Come, come inside.""

Unable to resist the enthusiastic old lady, Luo Song only had time to glance at the carriage boy, signaling him to unload the items from the carriage.

Though Hua Jin was initially a bit surprised by Luo Song’s arrival, it wasn’t considered odd, given his known gratitude. His visit seemed not so strange after all.

Of course, as one of the hosts, she extended her warmest welcome, smiling sweetly.

However, she didn’t enter the house alongside her family, as her elder brother, grandparents, and mother were there, so it wasn’t her place to host.

Instead, along with her second brother, she helped her father unload the bullock cart in the backyard.

Second Brother Hua quickly fed Da Huang with fodder and water, caring for the animal compassionately in the cold weather.

Taking advantage of Second Brother not noticing, Hua Jin secretly transported some fresh green grass from her space, along with slices of sweet potato. As soon as Da Huang saw the fresh grass, it noticeably perked up, nudging its large head against its little master, and happily started eating.

After stroking Da Huang’s head, Hua Jin slowly followed her father and Second Brother back to the front yard. Upon entering, she saw the little servant busily moving items out of the carriage, with Xiaosi eagerly assisting, eyes shining, as the ground was already filled with items.

The quantity of the goods rivaled what Luo Song brought last time, perhaps even exceeded it.
