In the evening, the whole family knew that they would go to the provincial capital for fun the day after tomorrow. Besides Zheng Xiaoman, the happiest persons were Xiao Lichun.

The little girl started to get excited since the night before, running around here and there.

"Mom, mom, what should I wear the day after tomorrow?"

The little baby voice leaned over to Zhou Chunfeng's ear and asked in a soft voice.

Zhou Chunfeng sighed helplessly, "Mom will find you the new pink dress I made, okay?"

Lichun smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Okay, mom, I really like that skirt."

After finally stopping bothering Zhou Chunfeng, she ran to Zheng Xiaoman and quickly climbed onto the kang from the ground.

"Sister, I want to eat the cake you made. Can we make one the day after tomorrow and take it with us on the road?"

Zheng Xiaoman put down the account book in his hand and said, "We will leave early the day after tomorrow, so we won't have time to make a cake."

Xiao Lichun wrinkled her nose, "Sister, what can we bring? What if I get hungry on the way?"

Zheng Xiaoman raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Don't worry, I won't let you starve."

After harassing Zheng Xiaoman, she went on to harass everyone else in the family.

Finally, Zhou Chunfeng grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out of the old lady's room.

The little guy pouted, looking angry but not daring to say anything.

Zheng Xiaoman happily rescued her sister, and Zhou Chunfeng strictly forbade her to leave the house again, which made her completely calm down.

But it was quiet all night. Early the next morning, Zheng Xiaoman was pushed awake in a daze.

"Sister, sister, get up."

Zheng Xiaoman opened his eyes helplessly. It was just getting light outside.

"My dear, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Sister, let's get up and make cakes."

Zheng Xiaoman took a deep breath and said, "We won't leave until tomorrow. There's no rush."

Seeing that she just wouldn't get up, the little guy got anxious, "Oh, sister, why are you so lazy? Get up quickly."

Zheng Xiaoman was pulled out of bed, and after washing up, he was stuffed into the kitchen.

Finally, she made two pastries and was released from the kitchen.

Finally the day of departure arrived, and the whole family got up early this time.

The little girl was wearing a pink dress and had two small buns on her head with two small bells hanging on them.

When you walk, it makes a jingling sound.

By the time the family got on the carriage, the sun had just risen.

The family drove two horse-drawn carriages, one was their own and the other was borrowed from Manager Cao.

Zheng Dashan was responsible for driving one car, and Tietou was driving the other.

On the way, Zheng Xiaoman and Chun Ya opened the curtains, leaned on the window, and looked out curiously with their heads tilted.

But after watching for a while, Zheng Xiaoman turned his head back in boredom.

At that time, the roads were all dirt roads, and there was nothing outside except grass and trees.

Not only that, the carriage running on the road raised up all the mud on the ground.

She wasn't paying attention and got hit in the face by the dirt.

As looking at the scenery was boring, she and her younger sister took out the food they brought and ate it.

But the carriage was too bumpy. I couldn't eat after a while. If I continued to eat, I would have vomited it all out.

Zheng Xiaoman felt a little nauseous, so he quickly took out a glass of spiritual spring water and drank it. Only then did he feel better in his stomach.

Later, her grandmother also suffered from motion sickness, so Zheng Xiaoman simply poured a glass of spiritual spring water for everyone in the family to drink.

At noon, the family parked the carriage on the side of the road and sat under the shade of the trees, leisurely eating the food they brought from home.

The weather at the end of October was already a bit cool, but with the sun shining at noon, the temperature was just right.

Mrs. Zheng sat on the mat and sighed, "It's been a long time since we sat together as a family."

Life at home is better now, but everyone is very busy every day.

Everyone has their own things to take care of, and except for eating together, they are nowhere to be seen at other times.

Old Man Zheng said with a smile: "Yes, I remember the last time the family came out, Xiaoman was only one or two years old."

Zheng Dashan seemed to recall it, "Haha, that's right, but that time we only went to the town, not as far as this time."

Mrs. Zheng smiled and sighed, "More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye. Time really goes by too fast."

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and said, "Grandma, let's go out every year from now on. If my brother and Lixia pass the imperial examination, we will go to the capital together for a tour."

Zheng Qingming looked at his sister in disbelief, "Xiao Man, you think too highly of me. I think if I can pass the imperial examination in the future, that would be unimaginable."

Lixia was the exact opposite of his brother. He patted his chest and said, "Sister, wait for me. I will definitely pass the imperial examination and take our family to the capital."

Zheng Dashan laughed out loud, "You little brat, you are so arrogant despite your young age. Is it that easy to pass the imperial examination?"

Grandpa Zheng glared at him and said, "What do you know? My grandson is ambitious. Come on, grandson. Grandpa believes in you."

Lixia looked at his father proudly and said, "See, you are the only one who doesn't believe me."

Zheng Dashan ignored him and said, "Okay, we still have a long way to go. Let's get in the car, otherwise we won't be able to get into the city before dark."

Everyone quickly packed up their things, and the carriage continued to bump forward, finally entering the city before the city gates closed at dark.

They had already found out where to stay. Cao Jun had an inn in the city, so they could just go there directly.

Two carriages arrived at the door of the inn and a waiter immediately came out to greet them.

"Are you guests going to stay at the hotel?"

Zheng Dashan nodded and said, "Give us four rooms."

"Okay, please come in. I'll have someone take the carriage to the backyard. Don't worry, sir. We have someone to take care of the horses."

Zhou Chunfeng and a few others took down their belongings, and Tietou followed them to the backyard to park the car.

The waiter just now brought a few people into the inn, "Sir, have you had dinner?"

Zheng Dashan shook his head. "Not yet. I was in a hurry and didn't have time."

The waiter then asked, "Sir, are you going to eat in the inn or go out?

If you are tired, you can eat and rest in the inn.

If you are not tired, we have a night market stall here at night, with a lot of food for sale, you can go and try it."

When Zheng Xiaoman heard this, she immediately tugged at her father's sleeve. She wanted to go to the night market, which was the roadside snack stall in later generations.

When Zheng Dashan saw his daughter like this, he knew she was going out.

He asked other people again, and learned that the bodies of their family members had been improved by the spiritual spring water, so they did not feel very tired after walking this distance.

So everyone agreed to go to the night market in the evening.

Zheng Dashan said to the waiter, "Thank you for telling us, brother. Let's go back to the house and put our things down, then go out for a walk."
