Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 477 - 298: The Liu Couple (Part 2)

Xiaomi cheerfully led her little sister up the mountain for a hunting trip. She didn’t feel tired at all, running every day without getting exhausted.

Meanwhile, as the scorching sun gradually set, approaching evening, the village welcomed two carriages that stopped right in front of the Jiang family’s door.

At this time, Jiang Hu’s second aunt and others were working in the field, with only a few children at home. The coachman, after parking the carriages, went to knock on the door, while a maid hurriedly brought over a horse stool.

Soon, two people got out of the carriage, one voluptuous and the other graceful and charming.

Then three more people stepped out from the carriage behind, one thin and tall, another a refined gentleman, and the third holding a three-year-old child.

"Dad, Mom, Yajing, how do you find the environment here in Xiangmu Village? It’s not bad, right?"

The young man was Liu Qingfeng, and as for the others, they were certainly his parents, sister, and brother.

"As if your father has never left the city," Liu Hongcai rolled his eyes at his eldest son.

After all, being a magistrate, although he mainly worked within the city, he would take time each year to inspect the villages and towns under his jurisdiction.

However, he usually traveled incognito, so not many people knew him.

Liu Qingfeng laughed twice. In recent years, his second brother’s health had been getting better, and their parents were no longer as sullen as before, visibly in a better mood.

"We... Grandpa, I’m back, Dad, Mom, and Yajing have all come." Liu Qingfeng was about to say something when he saw his grandpa coming around from outside the courtyard.

No need to ask, one could tell that Grandpa had been fishing at the nearby pond; upon seeing their carriage, he came over.

Xiangmu Village had quite a few ponds, but the only one shaded by a large tree was the one next to the Jiang family’s.

Liu Hongcai and the others quickly stepped forward to greet Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu waved his hand, "When you’re out traveling, no need for so many formalities. It’s hot outside, let’s talk inside. Qingfeng, your wife is chatting with Xiaoxue over there."

That was hinting to Liu Qingfeng, who was continually glancing over at the courtyard.

Liu Qingfeng nodded quickly, "Alright, Grandpa, I got it."

Uncle Liu: "I knew you all would come, but I didn’t inform Jiang Hu and them. The couple went to the fields, but someone should have told them there are guests at home, so they should be back soon."

Just as he was speaking, the door opened.

Jiang Yu was initially startled to see the familiar coachman, then immediately opened the door wide upon seeing the others behind him.

"Uncle Liu, Aunt Qian, please come in." He then glanced inside to gesture to Jiang Wei, asking him to call their parents back.

Liu Hongcai, while looking around the environment, entered with his wife, "Speaking of which, although you have been in Xiangmu Village for a while, it’s our first visit here."

Jiang Yu smiled, "Uncle Liu and Aunt Qian are always busy, naturally leaving little time for leisurely travels."

Just then, Liu Ze also came out, surprised to see the two: "Dad, Mom, what brings you here?"

Before Liu Hongcai could speak, his wife glared at Liu Ze, "What, three months apart, and you don’t want to see your parents?"

Liu Ze smiled shyly, "Mom, no, I’m just a bit surprised."

Mrs. Liu only pretended to be angry and immediately let go of her husband to step forward, "Let Mom take a look. Were you tired from the journey? Is your health all right?"

Saying this, she carefully checked him from top to bottom.

Liu Ze allowed his mother to inspect him and explained with a smile after she finished, "Mom, rest assured. This time, when we went to Nanyang Prefecture, Uncle Jiang and Aunt brought a lot of food from home."

"Moreover, along the way, Xiaomi and Ziang hunted almost every day, so we never lacked food and our health stayed fine."

At this moment, others in the house also heard the commotion and came out one after another.

Xie Fuya was in the neighboring courtyard talking to Xiaoxue. Although Xiaoxue was only nine years old, her embroidery skills amazed Xie Fuya.

The two didn’t discuss anything else, just talked about embroidery without any barriers. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Previously, Xie Fuya had heard from her sister-in-law, Liu Yajing, about Xiaoxue’s work in the embroidery workshop, but not having seen it firsthand, she hadn’t a concrete idea.

After getting enough rest at noon, the outside heat made it unsuitable for walking, so she thought of Xiaoxue and came to find her, engaging in conversation for one or two hours.

Several people paid respects to Liu Hongcai and Mrs. Liu, who didn’t forget her eldest daughter-in-law either. She brought some supplements specifically for her, having them sent to the neighboring courtyard.

Although Xie Fuya had been living in Xiangmu Village recently, she would return every few days to greet her in-laws and assure them of her safety.

Jiang Hu’s second aunt and the others hadn’t returned yet. Uncle Liu greeted his son and daughter-in-law and then waved them off before heading back to his fishing.

While the parents were not home, Xiaoxue invited Mrs. Liu to sit in her courtyard, while Jiang Yu escorted Liu Hongcai and Liu Qingfeng to the study.

Previously, lacking thoughts on this matter and not expecting Uncle Liu and the others to come, upon seeing them now, Jiang Yu realized that, let alone anything else, Liu Ze was, after all, Uncle Liu and Aunt Qian’s son.

With their son taking exams, even if they anticipated he might not pass, there was no way they could remain uninterested, naturally needing to come by for a visit and to ask questions.

It was only because they had to host a banquet at noon for the scholars who passed the exams that they’d found time now.

Additionally, the two of them had clearly changed into casual clothes. His brother and sister might not know, but he was aware; typically, Uncle Liu wore official attire and Aunt Qian dressed in splendid clothes, unlike how approachable they appeared now.

Of course, besides questioning about the exams, they would inevitably inquire about their journey conditions, especially since Jiang Yu had noticed earlier.

Upon seeing him, Uncle Liu scrutinized him up and down, letting out a long breath upon seeing Liu Ze appear.

It seemed Uncle Liu was curious why they appeared so ’full of vigor’.

After all, according to his knowledge, almost every scholar who went to Nanyang Prefecture became much thinner, with some even tanned.
