Chapter 399: Penthouse
When the whole family learned that they were going to Nanshan to stay for a few days, Fu Qi was the happiest person.
He hasn't been back to Nanshan for almost a year. Now that he has a child, he also wants to take the child back to his home where he has lived for sixteen years.
Fu's father was also very excited, and immediately asked the servants to go back to the house to inform Fu's mother and clean the yard.
Lin Jiaojiao did not refuse. It was somewhat inconvenient to stay in an inn with a child. Besides, her family and the Fu family had been getting along very well for a long time.
They are all their own people.
Fortunately, after lunch break, the snow stopped outside, and everyone started to pack their luggage. In fact, there was nothing much to bring for a short stay of a few days, mainly various supplies for the children.
"Jiu, just help me pack one set of clothes and toiletries. You don't need to bring anything else."
"Okay miss, I'll pack a set of pajamas."
Lin Jiaojiao paused as she stepped out of the door and patted her forehead.
"Yes, yes, yes. I almost forgot to bring the light purple pajamas and an extra set of underwear. Um... I really can't remember what else to bring. Jiu, you take care of it. I'll go to the academy first to see how the students are preparing."
"Well, go ahead, Miss. Just leave this to the slave."
She walked out. The snow in the yard outside the mansion had been swept together and piled up. It seemed that the snowing had stopped for a while.
On the way to school, she met Lin Fen and Zhang Yili. The couple had been married for more than a month and had moved out of the farm.
Now Tiantian changed her surname to Chenglin. When they go out to work, the child is left in the care of Lin Fen's mother and father. The child happens to be a playmate of Xiaomi. They are both about two years old and are at the age when they love to play.
"Just sent Xiaoyu to school?"
Lin Fen blushed and let go of the hand of the person next to her. Zhang Yili next to her was so embarrassed that she shouted "brother and sister" and then lowered her head.
"Yes, Sister Jiao. Yili and I are going to the farm to see if there is any work to do. Sister Jiao, are you going to the school?"
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the shy looks on their faces and she didn't want to disturb their love talk, but since he was walking towards her, she couldn't lower her head and pretend she didn't see him.
"Well, it's time for the Tongsheng exam, and we'll be going to Nanshan this afternoon. It's a good opportunity for you to go to the farm now, and maybe you'll have some work to do as a escort."
Lin Fen's eyes immediately lit up and he said excitedly.
"Well, I'll go sign up now. Sister Jiao, Yili and I will go to the farm first."
Lin Jiaojiao waved at them, "Go quickly."
When she arrived at the window of the Tongsheng class, she saw the students in the classroom were still doing exercises, which reminded her of the time when she was working hard on exercises. However, she was better than them. Most of them were multiple-choice questions, while they were all essays and dictation. Just thinking about it made her hands tired.
When Mr. Zhou, who was in charge of the boys' class, saw Lin Jiaojiao coming, he hurried out and bowed respectfully.
Master Zhou is already over 40 years old and is a tribute scholar. Logically, she should not need to be so polite to Lin Jiaojiao.
But she really admired Lin Jiaojiao's teaching methods. After more than a month of intensive training on various questions and test papers, she had a hunch that half of the 25 students in the class would be able to pass the exam to become a Tongsheng student.
Lin Jiaojiao looked at Chun Mo who had yawned countless times and asked in a low voice.
"Is there no lunch break?"
"Yes, this last set of papers was supposed to be done in the afternoon, but we are leaving in the afternoon, so I let them do it in advance so that I can explain it to them later."
"Okay, we'll set off after you finish explaining."
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Master Zhou went into the classroom to continue supervising the exam, while Lin Jiaojiao watched outside for a while before leaving.
When she returned home, she saw the main room was full of things, the most obvious of which were three cribs and three strollers neatly arranged in a row.
“Are you moving?”
Fu Qi saw her coming back and walked over to her with a smile, "Sister Jiaojiao, come and see if there's anything else you want to bring?"
She walked forward and looked at the things piled in each crib, "There shouldn't be any more, right?"
Lin Yiyan and Lin Yizhi each sat with their children in their arms. Lin Yizhi took a handkerchief and wiped the saliva from the corners of Lin Dongyi's mouth, smiling.
"If Xiaoqiu keeps taking care of the house, you'll empty it out. If there's nothing left, we can just buy some when the time comes."
Fu Qi then gave up the idea of continuing to count, but he couldn't calm down. He was about to go home and was too excited that he pulled Lin Jiaojiao into the house to help him choose the clothes to take.
...
One after another, carriages drove into Nanshan City and split into two major groups at the fork in the road.
Four carriages stopped at the gate of Fu's house. When Fu's mother learned in the morning that they were coming to stay for a while, she immediately arranged her work for the next few days and asked no one to disturb her and her dear granddaughter from developing their relationship.
When she saw the carriage stop, she couldn't wait to go up to it.
"Jiao Jie'er, you are finally here."
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, it's cold outside, why don't you wait inside?"
"I've been sitting around doing nothing all day, so I'll stretch my muscles."
After she finished speaking, she stared at the person coming down from behind Lin Jiaojiao. Seeing that Fu Qi was not holding a child in her arms, she looked towards the carriage behind. She happened to see Zeng Yudie taking the cradle handed over by Fu's father. She hurriedly walked over with a smile.
"It turns out that our Le Xing is sitting with Grandpa."
Fu Qi pouted unhappily when she saw her mother leaving and immediately complained.
"Sister Jiaojiao, look at why mom is like this."
Lan Jiu took the sleeping Lin Xiayou from Lin Yiyan's arms. Lin Jiaojiao reached out to help Lin Yiyan down first, and comforted Fu Qi at the same time.
"It's okay, it's okay. Mom just hasn't seen Le Xing for a long time. Our Le Xing is so cute, who wouldn't like her?"
"Too."
After he finished speaking, he followed. He was the one carrying the child in the front, but he pooped in the middle of the journey, so he had to let Zeng Yu's father take the child to the carriage at the back to change his diaper.
After almost everyone had come down, they walked towards the house.
Fu's mother happily carried the cradle. Fortunately, Lin Lexing was still sleeping, otherwise he would have cried loudly.
Lin Jiaojiao, her husband and children all lived in Fu Qi's courtyard, while Lin's father and Zhao Bo lived in the courtyard next door.
Yes, Lin Jiaojiao also brought Zhao Bo with her.
Her whole family is used to eating the meals prepared by Uncle Zhao. His cooking skills are better than Lin Yizhi's. He has also researched many dishes that are not in the cookbooks. He can be said to be a five-star chef.
It was almost time for dinner, and Uncle Zhao went to the kitchen with the hot pot base and various ingredients he brought from home.
Lin Jiaojiao also came to the room where she slept, which was right next to Fu Qi's main room, while Lin Yiyan and Lin Yizi were on the left, quite close to each other.
Each room is equipped with an ear room, which is a place for the night watchmen to take a rest.
"Ajiu, you should rest in this room tonight. Otherwise, it will be quite cold if you wait for me outside early in the morning."
After all, the house here faces the yard, and Lan Jiu always comes to the door to wait for her to get up before dawn. The cold wind in the early morning is the most biting, so she must not freeze to death standing outside.
Lan Jiu paused while cleaning the house, then raised his head and smiled brightly at her.
"Thank you for your love, Miss. I am very happy."
Lin Jiaojiao looked at his sunny appearance, which made her feel itchy to touch him like a big puppy.
Fortunately, she resisted the urge to rub his head and glanced around the room uncomfortably.
Although it is a side house next to the main house, it is obviously larger than her own house and has all the necessary things, so it does not appear too empty.
There was an ear room next to it. She pushed open the door and saw a small room inside. It was very simple, but it had everything it needed.
Compared with my own house, this is the standard configuration of wealthy families.
She once again thought of Jiang Huai's house where she had visited when she proposed marriage and the house where Jiang Huai lived in her house.
She was lost in thought.
