Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

Chapter 316 - 316 Summer Resort

316 Summer Resort

Xiaoguo refused to sit down. She swung her hips vigorously so that he could see. “Look, it’s okay. It’s really okay.”

Although Qin Anming saw it, he still didn’t agree to her request. After much persuasion from Xiaoguo, he reluctantly compromised and agreed to let her sow the seeds. However, she had to rest for a while after doing so. If she didn’t agree, she could go back and sit down.

“I agree,” Xiaoguo said helplessly. She wasn’t a delicate child. She was the goddess of luck with healing powers. She had recovered from her injury within one night. Her healing ability was no joke.

Although she was feeling very stubborn, she still agreed obediently. She had no choice. Qin Anming’s nagging was really giving her a headache.

Qin Anming looked at Xiaoguo, who was wearing a normal expression, and felt relieved. He went back to plowing the grounds in full concentration.

As planned, the two of them finished planting in less than half a day. When they were on their way back, they received envious looks from everyone.

There was only one benefit to having less land. Planting could be done very quickly.

After lunch, Qin Anming was ready to go back to the noodle shop. He was initially planning to leave the next day, but it was difficult to cross the county gates now. Everyone had to queue up to register so it would take him a long time to get everything done. If he were to go back tomorrow, it would take him half a day to clear the gates. It would be better for him to go back this afternoon.

“I’ll send you back.”

Xiaoguo didn’t want him to walk to the village entrance and wait for the horse carriage that goes to the county. It would be too tiring for him.

Qin Anming couldn’t dissuade her, so he could only nod and agree. “Is your waist really okay?”

“Really!” Xiaoguo was so exasperated that she almost laughed. He had asked her so many times that she was getting sick of hearing it.

The two of them soon arrived at the county gates. Xiaoguo wanted to queue up to enter, but Qin Anming stopped her.

“I’ll be fine here. Don’t bother to queue up. You’ll have to queue again to get out later. It’s too troublesome.”

Xiaoguo sized up the crowd in front of her and nodded. In any case, the noodle shop was not far. After entering the county gates, he would reach the shop after a short walk.

“You can go back now.”

Qin Anming came down with his bag and waved at her.

“Got it.” Xiaoguo nodded and turned around to leave.

She had just reached the intersection in the road that led back to the village when she almost bumped into a carriage. Xiaoguo quickly tightened the rope and went around it.

The other party pulled the rope and moved in the opposite direction. After avoiding the clash, he looked up and realized that it was someone he knew.

“Mrs. Jiang?!”

The courier’s surprised voice sounded. Xiaoguo looked up at the person. “It’s you!”

As soon as the other party saw Xiaoguo, he took out something from his arms.

Xiaoguo knew at a glance that he must have a letter for her. Hence, when he took it out, she subconsciously reached out.

The courier handed the letter to her tacitly. Then, he said shyly, “Since I am handing you the letter here, I won’t go to your house.”

“It’s fate!”

Xiaoguo said with a smile. What a coincidence.

The courier smiled and nodded. Since there was nothing else, the two of them bade each other farewell.

Seeing that she was almost home, Xiaoguo put away the letter and prepared to read it when she got back.

Afraid that she would forget about it, the first thing Xiaoguo did when she got home was to open the envelope.

As expected, it was written by Jiang Danhe. Thinking about it, it had been some time since he left. This was the first time the two of them had contacted each other.

After reading it carefully, she was so excited that she almost tore the letter apart.

“Summer resort! Summer resort! Summer resort!” Xiaoguo was so happy that she was about to jump up. This was her first time traveling since she arrived!

How does one spend the summer? Of course, they had to follow in the emperor’s footsteps and go to the summer resort!

In Jiang Danhe’s letter, he said that the emperor, the crown prince, and the families of a few ministers would set off from the capital for the summer resort before the summer solstice. The summer resort was not too far from Peach Blossom Village, and it would take about a day’s journey to get there. He would send someone to pick her and Zhuang Zhuang up for the vacation. He would pick her up about fifteen days after she received the letter. He asked her to pack her luggage and wait at home with Zhuang Zhuang.

This was a golden opportunity that couldn’t be missed. Not only would she avoid the heat, but she would also get to sightsee. The summer resort that the emperor goes to must be wonderful. She had to bring Zhuang Zhuang along to broaden his horizons!

Xiaoguo took out the calendar and deliberately marked the date, afraid that it would slip her mind. At this moment, she couldn’t wait to pack her bags. However, she had almost forgotten the important thing. What would happen to the animals at home while she was out?

At this moment, a figure flashed across her mind. Xiaoguo was overjoyed. She put down the calendar and walked out.

“Sister-in-law, is Yang Jia at home?”

“No, he went out with Old Yang. Why? Is there something I can help you with?”

Xiaoguo’s face was filled with obvious joy. Hearing her question, she grabbed her hand and said excitedly, “Sister-in-law, I’m going to the summer resort!”

“A summer resort?! Are you serious?!” Mrs. Yang was even happier than Xiaoguo. She pulled her to sit down and eagerly asked her to tell her what was going on.

“It’s like this…”

After Xiaoguo finished speaking to her, she saw that Mrs. Yang was so excited that she was about to collapse. She quickly held on to her. “Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”

“Oh my God! You’re saved this summer!” His tone was filled with envy.

Xiaoguo felt a little regretful. If only she could bring Mrs. Yang and the others along.

“If I were you, I would be feeling happy and nervous at the same time.”

Hearing Mrs. Yang’s words, Xiaoguo was a little puzzled. The happy part she understood, but why would she be nervous?

With that thought in mind, she asked. When Mrs. Yang heard this, she gave her a look. “Think about it. You are traveling with the emperor!”

At the mention of the emperor, she did not even dare to raise her voice.

Xiaoguo hesitated for a moment, but then it disappeared. She said with a sense of security, “Jiang Danhe is by my side. It’s fine!”

“Yo…” Mrs. Yang looked at her teasingly. “It’s fine… Danhe is by my side…”

Mrs. Yang imitated her tone, making Xiaoguo cover her face shyly. “I didn’t say that. How annoying.”

“How annoying…”

...

Mrs. Yang was amused and continued to imitate her in an exaggerated tone. That made Xiaoguo laugh out loud.

Not long after, the two Yang brothers returned from outside. Xiaoguo stopped Yang Jia and told him about her request. The other party agreed readily and without hesitation.

Xiaoguo quickly thanked him and promised to find him a few good books when she returned.

Now that the chores at home were done, she was relieved. She only had to pack her luggage and bring Zhuang Zhuang back. Then, she would wait for that day to come.

Time passed quickly. When it was about twelve days later, she brought Zhuang Zhuang back. The letter said that it would take about fifteen days, but it was better to prepare early just in case.

“Have fun for a while, but don’t forget to read. And remember to write a diary entry every day. I’ll check it when you get back. There will be punishment for failing to complete the tasks. Do you understand?”

Before Mr. Kong left, he reminded Zhuang Zhuang worriedly.

“I’ll remember it, Master!”

Although Zhuang Zhuang’s heart had long flown to the summer resort, he would still make sure to remember Teacher Kong’s words.

“Alright, you may go now,” Teacher Kong nodded and said in relief.

Xiaoguo nodded at Mr. and Mrs. Kong before driving the donkey cart away.

...

Zhuang Zhuang didn’t forget to stick his head out and wave at them. “Master, Madam, I’ll bring you a gift!!”

“Okay!” When Mrs. Kong heard this, she replied loudly. Even Mr. Kong laughed with his mouth wide open.

Xiaoguo smiled and looked back. “Sit tight,” she said gently. “Don’t fall.”

Zhuang Zhuang retracted his body and sat beside Xiaoguo. “Mother… Is the summer resort fun?”

“I don’t know.”

Xiaoguo told him honestly. She had never been there before. “But the summer resort should be nice and cool.”

It was a resort for the summer holidays, so it should be a cool place.

Zhuang Zhuang didn’t get the answer he wanted, but he wasn’t discouraged. He thought about Xiaoyi and looked forward to the trip that was just a few days away.
