Chapter 355 Surprise
The father and son argued back and forth at the dinner table, neither of them willing to give in. In the end, it was Grandpa Song who made the final decision and set the date on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
When Song Dazhuang heard that the old man not only did not stop this bad boy, but also moved the time forward by one day, he immediately complained in dissatisfaction that Grandpa Song was biased.
"Dad, you can't let him do whatever he wants. It's okay for him to go out on weekdays, but now it's Chinese New Year, how can he go out so far before the 15th? This is unreasonable!"
"What's wrong with that? As long as my grandson is happy, then it's okay. Besides, do you think that if you don't allow this kid to go out, he won't be able to run away?"
Song Chunlin: “???” No way, grandpa, you wouldn’t expose my past in public like this.
Song Dazhuang was choked by his father's words. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. Song Chunlin was harder to catch than a rabbit. If he really wanted to run away, he could not stop him at all. So in the end Song Dazhuang had to admit that his father was right.
Grandpa Song looked at his son's cowardly look and snorted, "Chunlin just said that he wanted to spend the Lantern Festival with Fengyue. You asked him to leave a few days later. Do you want him to die of exhaustion on the way?"
Hearing this, Song Chunlin couldn't help but hug his grandfather's arm and looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa still understands me, wuwuwuwu, grandpa, my father really wants to tire me to death!"
"Alright, alright, stop pretending to cry. I've spoken, and your dad won't dare disobey. Stop rubbing your snot on grandpa. This piece of clothing was newly made by your little grandpa."
Song Chunlin wiped away his tears, wiped his face, and returned to his playful look. Song Dazhuang simply couldn't bear to watch.
Seeing that everyone had already discussed the matter, Song Qinshi spoke up and asked everyone to continue eating.
"Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
At noon on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Fengyun brought his wife and children to pay New Year's greetings. When he heard that Song Chunlin was going to the border to accompany Gu Fengyue to celebrate the Lantern Festival, Gu Fengyun did not have any special reaction. He just teased Song Chunlin a few words. But to Su Fuqing's ears, he felt that Song Chunlin's move seemed too shocking.
Since ancient times, the discipline for girls and boys has been to make them obey the rules, stay at home and take care of their husbands and children. This is the first time in Su Fuqing's life that he has seen someone like Song Chunlin, who goes out alone every few days.
On the way back, Gu Fengyun held the child and kept teasing him. Seeing Su Fuqing looked thoughtful, Gu Fengyun couldn't help asking him what he was thinking about.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Su Fuqing shook his head: "No, I didn't think much about it, but I was a little envious of Song Chunlin."
"envious?"
"Yeah, I envy him. He can go wherever he wants whenever he wants. He is unrestrained and very free."
free?
Gu Fengyun chewed these two words carefully over and over again in his mouth. The couple tacitly said nothing during the rest of the journey and returned to the Marquis' Mansion quietly.
On the other side, in Bai Ta City, because the Chinese New Year had just ended, the city was decorated with lights and filled with the festive atmosphere. Because he was afraid that Gu Fengyue would be lonely celebrating the Chinese New Year alone for the first time, Dou Duhu specially invited Gu Fengyue to the government office so that they could celebrate the Chinese New Year together. It was not until this moment that Gu Fengyue realized that he seemed to have never seen Dou Duhu's family, so he asked casually, and Dou Duhu told him with a wry smile.
"No, the last time the barbarians came, he cut his throat with his children to avoid being caught by them."
Dou Duhu spoke in a very calm tone, and his expression did not change much, as if he was just talking about a very ordinary thing. However, Gu Fengyue could taste a bit of the pain of loneliness through his calm tone.
As if realizing that he asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, Gu Fengyue silently raised his glass and drank it all.
Perhaps infected by Dou Duhu's loneliness, Gu Fengyue originally did not think that spending the New Year alone in a foreign land was a big deal. However, at midnight when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Gu Fengyue missed the capital and Song Chunlin very much.
Soon it was the seventh day of the New Year. Knowing that Song Chunlin was going to the border the next day, Gu Fengyun personally loaded two carts full of things and asked Song Chunlin to take them to Gu Fengyue.
"These are all clothes for that kid for all four seasons. I left in a hurry last time and only took some old ones. These are newly made in the past few months, both for winter and summer, as well as some beddings and other things. Inside are the best wound medicines in the capital, as well as some tonics. These herbs are definitely not as good as the ones you have, but it's just right to give them to his soldiers. There are also some cakes from your sister-in-law's shop, which are durable. Take them and distribute them to his colleagues. This brat is always very strict on weekdays, and I'm afraid he won't get along well with his colleagues."
Song Chunlin looked at Gu Fengyun suspiciously and thought, how strange, Lord Gu also knows that he should have a good relationship with his colleagues, then why does he always scold those officials in the court, and even beat people when he is angry, and why didn't he say that he wanted to have a good relationship with his colleagues at that time?
Looking at Song Chunlin's suspicious gaze, Gu Fengyun seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but cough a few times in embarrassment.
"Oh, yes, yes, these are gifts for people. Hurry up and collect the things. I'll have someone come and take the car back tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll collect them right away." After saying that, Song Chunlin waved his hand, and all the gift boxes within his sight were collected into the space. The speed was so fast and the effect was so magical that Gu Fengyun was amazed every time.
"This is really a great magic technique. It would be great if ordinary mortals like us could also learn such a magical technique."
"Do you really want to learn?"
"Of course I did. Why, can you teach me?"
"Sure, but there is one condition."
"What are the conditions? I would like to hear the details."
"Die once first."
"……"excuse me.
Because the time was moved forward one day, Song Chunlin still slept until he woke up naturally the next day. Song Qinshi got up early to prepare breakfast for him. Even though she knew that he had a lot of food stored in his space, she still made several large pots of breakfast today.
Thirty big meat buns and more than a hundred big dumplings, all filled with leeks, eggs and shrimps that Song Chunlin and Gu Fengyue both liked, as well as fragrant fried lasagna beef pies, hot tofu pudding, and two kinds of specially made sauces, spicy and sweet, for you to choose from.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Song Chunlin ate with his mouth drooling. After breakfast, Song Chunlin packed the food that Song Qinshi brought for him, waved goodbye to his family, and set off for the border.
Song Chunlin originally planned to set out on the ninth day of the first lunar month. If he traveled for six days, he would definitely reach Bai Ta City on the morning of the fifteenth day. He would rest for a while and then go to give Gu Fengyue a surprise. He probably wouldn't have thought that he would go to the border on New Year's Day.
Now he set out on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and he had one more day on the road, so he had more time. So at the beginning he walked slowly, and only quickened his pace when the breakfast in his stomach was almost digested. When he came to the deserted official road, he took out his big motorcycle and started to ride at full speed.
Fortunately, it was New Year's Day and there were very few people traveling outside at this time, so his journey was extremely smooth. Except for passing by the post station, he didn't meet a single passerby the entire day.
Song Chunlin was secretly delighted. As long as he didn't meet any living people, the time he spent on the road would at least be shortened. Maybe he could reach Bai Ta City on the fourteenth day, and have a good rest in Bai Ta City for a night. He would have a whole day to accompany Gu Fengyue the next day.
As he expected, he found a town where he could stay that night, but Song Chunlin did not go in. Today was only the eighth day of the New Year, and not only was he traveling alone on New Year's Day, but he was also staying alone in an inn. This was too conspicuous.
So he just found a small sheltered valley outside the town, set up the mental barrier, took out his camping tent, stove and stool, lit the charcoal fire, boiled water while taking out the food in the space to eat.
Song Chunlin didn't sleep much that night. He just sat quietly by the stove to keep warm until a ray of light appeared in the sky. He immediately packed up his camping equipment. While everyone was still sleeping soundly, he rode his motorcycle away from the place. The traces he left behind were soon covered by the wind and snow.
Song Chunlin traveled in the wind and snow during the day. He stopped only when he felt hungry. After observing that there was no one around, he lit a campfire and took out the food that had been prepared in the space to fill his stomach. After he was full, he took a short rest and then continued on his way.
Along the way, Song Chunlin rarely encountered living people. Whenever he saw a living person passing by, Song Chunlin would stop, put the car into the space, and then mobilize his mental power to hide his body. When those people were far enough away, he would take out the motorcycle and continue walking.
Apart from these unexpected episodes, Song Chunlin's journey was also very smooth. He arrived at Bai Ta City smoothly on the morning of the fourteenth day. Looking at the towering city gate, Song Chunlin finally showed a smile on his face. He tidied his clothes and after entering the city gate, he had been using his mental power to look for Gu Fengyue. According to Gu Fengyue's professionalism, he should be in the military camp or in the government office at this moment.
Sure enough, Song Chunlin finally found Gu Fengyue in the government office. He had taken some time out today to sort out the piled up documents. These things were complicated and lengthy, and Gu Fengyue was usually too lazy to read them unless they were extremely urgent. He would save the others and only deal with them together when they reached a certain number. Today was no exception. He got up early and planned to pick a few to deal with first and take the rest back home to take a look at them when he was free.
When Song Chunlin knocked on the door, the manager thought it was someone coming to pay New Year's greetings. During this period, many people came to ask Gu Fengyue to do things for them under the pretext of paying New Year's greetings and giving gifts. However, Gu Fengyue only received some colleagues and would not accept gifts that were too expensive. However, those people still had evil intentions and wanted to get on Gu Fengyue's bandwagon.
Today is the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the manager thought that no one had come to pay New Year's greetings. Unexpectedly, not long after Gu Fengyue arrived at the government office, someone came knocking on the door anxiously.
When the steward heard the doorman say that it was an important person, he thought at first that it was some high-ranking official who had come. But when he arrived at the door and took a look, he was surprised to find that it was indeed a high-ranking official.
I saw a pretty boy standing at the door, with snowflakes hanging on his body. He greeted me with a smile when he saw me.
"Happy New Year, Uncle Steward. It's been a long time since we last met. Are you in good health?"
"Oh, it's Young Master Song, come quickly, come quickly, how did you get here, it's snowing heavily, someone, quickly prepare some hot water for Young Master Song, it's so cold outside, are you frozen?"
The steward took Song Chunlin into the house, his eyes full of pity for Song Chunlin.
"Why do you come here at this hour? It's so cold. Are you coming alone? Not in a carriage?"
The steward asked several questions, and Song Chunlin answered them one by one with a smile: "I came here when I wanted to. I came here alone, took a carriage, and went back."
Of course there were no horse-drawn carriages, but there were a few motorcycles, but they were indeed returned to the space.
Song Chunlin took a comfortable hot bath in the house. There were also his clothes in the house, not only those left by Song Chunlin before, but also some new ones. Song Chunlin casually shook out a pure cotton robe, which was quilted inside and was very warm to wear.
This winter coat was obviously specially made by Gu Fengyue. It fit Song Chunlin perfectly and he felt very happy. He took a bath and washed his hair, dried his hair and combed it again. Then he put on the hat that Gu Fengyue made for him and went out dressed up.
Song Chunlin was an old acquaintance in the government office, and the gatekeeper naturally knew him as well. He did not let the gatekeeper go in to report, but walked all the way to the door of Gu Fengyue's study and knocked gently.
Gu Fengyue was reading files. When he heard a knock on the door, he thought it was his subordinate coming in, so he responded indifferently. However, when the person came in, Gu Fengyue waited for a long time but didn't hear the person speak. So he was angry and was about to scold the other person. As a result, when he looked up, he saw the person he had been thinking about, standing not far in front of him, wearing the new clothes he had prepared for him, looking at him with a smile.
"Gu Fengyue, I came all the way here to see you, why are you just sitting there stupidly?"
Song Chunlin stretched out his hand towards Gu Fengyue in dissatisfaction, raised his chin, and ordered Gu Fengyue arrogantly: "Silly, come and hug me."
Almost as soon as Song Chunlin finished speaking, Gu Fengyue stood up suddenly. He didn't even have time to go around the desk. He jumped directly over the table. As soon as his long legs touched the ground, he couldn't wait to hug the person in his arms.
Song Chunlin was held very tightly by him, as if he was afraid that he would disappear in the next second.
"Am I dreaming? How did you get here?"
Song Chunlin hugged the other person back with all his strength, with a clear smile in his voice: "Of course it's because I miss you. Why, don't you miss me?"
