Chapter 1644: Chapter 1644: A Meeting of Minds

Yang Jiancheng smiled and took it: "Thank you, Yanyan. You’ve really grown up and know how to care for others. It’s just a pity that your master will probably not be able to see you and Yueyue get married."

Luo Qiao interrupted: "Master, what are you talking about?"

Yang Jiancheng just laughed: "I know my own body well. Besides, I’ve lived to this age already, that’s something to be grateful for. Everyone has that day."

Feng Shumin got anxious: "Old man, it’s New Year’s, stop talking about such grim things."

Yang Jiancheng nodded: "Look at me, I’m really getting muddle-headed."

For some reason, he looked at Luo Qiao: "Qiaoqiao, I’ll make your favorite dish in a bit. You might not get to eat it again in the future."

Luo Qiao suddenly had a bad premonition: "Master, don’t say such things."

Yang Jiancheng said: "I just don’t know if I’ll have the chance to visit the farm again?"

Feng Shumin chimed in: "When the weather gets warmer, I’ll go back with you for a visit."

Yang Jiancheng gently nodded: "Alright, we’ll go back in the spring. Time flies; it’s been twenty years since I left."

Luo Qiao looked up at Lu Yichen. After exchanging a glance, Luo Qiao said: "Master, if you want to go back, we can drive there tomorrow. We’ll be there by evening."

Before Yang Jiancheng could speak, Feng Shumin said: "It’s New Year’s, don’t trouble the kids. We’ll wait until spring when it’s warmer, and I’ll go back with you."

Luo Qiao replied: "It just so happens that Yichen and I aren’t too busy these days, and we also want to take the kids to see the place where I grew up. Doesn’t this align with your plan, Master?"

Yang Jiancheng understood in his heart, this was an excuse his disciple deliberately found, just to reassure him and put his mind at ease.

This life, Yang Jiancheng thought, he may not have taught his children well, but having a good disciple like this makes it worthwhile.

So, after lunch, Luo Qiao prepared some semi-finished dishes for Master and his wife, telling them to heat them up in the evening and reminding them to rest early. She promised to pick them up early the next morning before leaving.

They needed to go back and make preparations.

Lu Yichen called Shen Jianzhong, asking him to send a minibus over that night.

Luo Qiao meanwhile informed Peng Mingdong to prepare various meats and fruits, all sorted into three pounds per package, readying eighty packages to be delivered the next morning.

On the way home, they also ordered eighty boxes of Capital City’s specialty pastries for home delivery.

Shortly after they got home, the pastries were delivered.

Rong Daniang saw this scene and said: "Why order so many pastries?"

Xiao Ye quickly explained: "Tomorrow, Dad and Mom are taking us and Master and Mistress back to the place where Mom grew up, which is the farm."

Rong Daniang looked at Luo Qiao: "Why the sudden decision to visit the farm during New Year’s?"

Luo Qiao sighed: "My Master wants to go back and have a look. My Mistress said they’d wait until spring to go back with him, but my Master’s health isn’t too good. I thought I’d take him back earlier to fulfill his dream."

Rong Daniang nodded upon hearing this: "You’re doing the right thing."

As it was getting dark, Shen Jianzhong personally came over to deliver the vehicle, but the minibus couldn’t fit into the alley, so they had to park it outside an eatery at the entrance.

Shen Jianzhong asked: "Do you need me to send a driver tomorrow?"

Luo Qiao shook her head: "It’s New Year’s, let’s not trouble people. Really appreciate your hard work today."

Hearing Luo Qiao say this, Shen Jianzhong replied: "Sister, please don’t say that. With our relationship, you shouldn’t be so formal with me."
