Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2521: Chapter 2522: Return to Tianyun (88)

”Exactly, exactly,” Gong Juese echoed repeatedly. If it weren’t for her husband being here, and her reluctance to leave him, she would have left ages ago. This place is really too remote; she has to walk a lot to even reach the nearest town.

Tobanya, however, was more of a go-with-the-flow kind of person and didn’t mind. She simply smiled and said, ”The King is going to the Imperial City, and my husband is surely going with him, so naturally, I must go too.”

Ye Zhi immediately pushed Gong Juechen, ”Gong Juechen, make a statement.”

Gong Juechen then smiled playfully and said, ”We came here originally to make it easier to move around with Lele. Now, Lele will definitely go to the Imperial City with Jingjing and Changyi, so we naturally have to go too. Plus, I’m already tired of being here. Once we head to the Imperial City, Zhizhi, I’ll take you shopping properly on the streets.”

Ye Zhi immediately became excited and said, ”I buy things, and you’ll pay?”

”That’s for sure!” Gong Juechen responded immediately.

Gong Juese also got excited, ”What about me, me? Brother, what about me?”

Gong Juechen said casually, ”Don’t you have a husband? Get your husband to pay for you.”

”My husband doesn’t have as much money as you. Brother, please pay for me too. I’ll shop with sister-in-law, and you can follow behind us and pay~” Gong Juese tugged at one of Gong Juechen’s sleeves, acting playfully.

”You’re already a grandmother, and you’re still acting cute? Aren’t you afraid your grandkids will laugh at you!”

”I don’t care; you have to pay anyway.”

”I’ll pay, I’ll pay. I’ve been paying for so many years, and I haven’t gone broke yet.”

”Brother, you’re truly the best!” Gong Juese immediately let go of Gong Juechen’s sleeve and dashed outside. ”I need to tell my husband that we’re going to the Imperial City!”

Everyone was accustomed to Gong Juese’s bustling and child-like innocence, so they didn’t pay much attention.

Tobanya put down the mortar and pestle she was using to prepare medicine and stood up, ”I’ll go back and inform Zhuqing too.”

”Go ahead,” An Jing didn’t mind.

The others didn’t mind either.

”They’ve both left, and the medicine hasn’t been finished. You should help grind it,” Gong Juechen playfully handed the medicine pots that Tobanya and Gong Juese had been grinding to An Jing and Su Changyi.

An Jing and Su Changyi then helped him grind the medicine.

An Jing asked, ”What kind of medicine are you planning to make?”

Gong Juechen smiled and said, ”Just some wound salves. With so many kids in our families, they always end up needing them for little bumps and scrapes.”

Ye Zhi said, ”The medicine he makes is always better than anything you can buy outside, even though it’s a bit more trouble. But fortunately, we have nothing else to do. Now that we’re going to the Imperial City, we should hurry to get these made in the next couple days.”

An Jing laughed and said, ”I was worried you wouldn’t want to go, but seeing how excited you all are about heading to the Imperial City, I’m relieved. If we had gone without you, I would surely miss you. You know how it is, when people get older, they tend to reminisce.”

Ye Zhi countered, ”Even though I’ve aged, my mindset hasn’t. I feel as young as ever.”

Gong Juechen immediately flattered her, saying, ”You’re forever eighteen.”

Ye Zhi elbowed him, ”Come off it, when I was eighteen you didn’t even know me!”

Gong Juechen wasn’t bothered; he jokingly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the herb powder from Ye Zhi’s forehead.

Ye Zhi didn’t pay attention to whether he was wiping her or not, but instead smiled at An Jing and said, ”Boss, once we get to the Imperial City, let’s thoroughly explore the whole town. Ideally, we should eat at every restaurant just once. I’ve heard there’s a lot of delicious food, but it’s too far away. Even if we buy it, by the time we get it, it would have spoiled and can’t be eaten.”
