Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Chapter 410 Song Guanhua skips class

Xu Anyang stared longingly at the jade thumb ring that Lao Lu was holding in his hand. He couldn't tell whether it was valuable or not, but it was definitely beautiful.

"Sister Yi, if that merchant really comes with the money to exchange it tomorrow, will you exchange it for him?" Xu Anyang, who was lying on the table, suddenly asked.

Lao Lu was also curious about this question.

"What do you think? Hurry up and serve the guests the food."

Xu Yiyi glared at the two of them and took the dishes off the serving tray.

"What happened up ahead? I've called out several times, but no one's coming."

Fatty Wang was wielding a ladle with his bare arms, and the food serving area was piled high with plates.

"It's alright!"

Xu Yiyi casually uttered a sentence.

"Oh!"

Xu Anyang didn't understand Xu Yiyi's words, and pouted as he looked at Lao Lu: "What do you think my sister Yiyi means by this? Is she giving it to me or not?"

Old Lu frowned, his eyes fixed on the jade thumb ring on his hand: "You're asking me?"

Xu Anyang nodded.

How would I know?

He wasn't a mind reader like Xu Yiyi, so how could he possibly guess what she was thinking?

"Hmph! Old Lu, get to work!"

Xu Anyang snorted coldly and scurried back into the lobby.

Old Lu scoffed: "Calling Grandpa when there's trouble, and Old Lu when there's nothing to do, that's really something."

Old Lu got up, stuffed the jade thumb ring into Wu Yuan's cradle, and lazily walked up to carry the dishes out from the serving window.

……

After noon, Er'er, with a worried look on her face, helped her master out of the room.

"Are you alright? Can you walk? Or should I carry you down?"

After the passenger ship docked, Qingshan hurriedly ran up from the second floor.

The room smelled terrible; I reckon someone vomited a lot.

Faced with a barrage of questions from Qingshan, Wu Yunzhi was too exhausted to answer and weakly raised one hand to wave.

"Master, why don't we stay in the city for the night and then take the donkey cart overland?"

Er'er looked at her master, who was vomiting like a dog.

I couldn't bear to let him suffer any longer.

"No! Let's go by water."

It would take more than ten days to get close to the Qiongzhou Strait by land, and then we would still have to take a boat.

But if we go by boat, we should arrive around noon tomorrow.

It's much faster.

"Then you should take a rest. I'm really worried you won't be able to keep sitting on the boat like this."

Er'er said with concern.

"Come to my house and rest for a while. I'll take you out tonight."

After saying that, Qingshan grabbed Wu Yunzhi's arms and pulled him onto his back.

"vomit……"

As soon as the pressure was applied, Wu Yunzhi inevitably felt nauseous again.

Er'er followed behind, carrying the medicine box and luggage as they disembarked.

After the officers and soldiers finished checking his household registration and came ashore, Qingshan originally intended to put him on his donkey cart.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yunzhi strongly refused.

"I won't sit down, I'll throw up if I go up there."

Er'er gasped, "Master, don't tell me you can't even ride a donkey cart?"

"You're absolutely right, I felt dizzy as soon as I sat down."

Wu Yunzhi smiled wryly.

With a clatter, Er'er placed the bundle and medicine box she was carrying onto the donkey cart.

Looking at his master with a hint of helplessness, he asked, "So how did you manage to get through those times when you went out before?"

As my master instructed, I would travel abroad to practice medicine every year, spending most of the year away from home.

We can't keep vomiting like this every time, can we?

After vomiting so much, you should be used to it by now and won't feel dizzy anymore!

Wu Yunzhi weakly replied, "I used to walk."

Qingshan chuckled and Er'er looked at her master, who was clinging to Qingshan's back, incredulously.

"Believe it or not, this was my first time traveling by boat to a traveling doctor's clinic, and it was a truly horrific ordeal..."

Wu Yunzhi sighed and looked at his obedient little apprentice who was leading the donkey cart beside him.

The three of them strolled leisurely from Changsheng Wharf to the Song residence.

"Your Aunt Jiuya should be at the trading company right now; there's no one home. Please forgive her!"

Qingshan took out his key from his pocket and opened the door, while Er'er shook her head.

"Uncle Qingshan, was this donkey also dragged in from here?"

Er'er looked at the knee-high threshold in front of her and asked curiously.

"Put the donkey in through the side door. Leave it at the door for now, and I'll bring it in later."

Qingshan pushed open the door, and Wu Yunzhi quickly got off him. After Qingshan parked the donkey cart, he led the people to the side room.

"You two take a break, I'll go out and buy some food."

We've been on the boat the whole way and missed lunch; I'm starving by now.

After Qingshan left, Wu Yunzhi finally couldn't hold it in and vomited again by the bedside.

He sighed, "What a miserable life!"

Er'er blinked, lowered her eyes, and followed the little wooden puppet out to find a broom and some dirt to clean up what he had just vomited.

……

"Uncle Qingshan? Is that you?"

Er'er was engrossed in dealing with her bundle when she suddenly heard a rustling sound.

No one responded.

Er'er frowned.

"Master, I'm going out to take a look."

After saying that, Er'er pushed open the door and went out, standing under the eaves.

After Song Guanhua's cat went to the rosewood display shelf, he peeked through the diamond-shaped lattice. When he saw a strange young man behind him, his eyes widened immediately.

Song Guanhua's heart was pounding. Looking at the strange young man looking around, she thought he must be a thief who had come in to steal things.

The little kid looked around, then climbed over and grabbed the feather duster leaning against the table. He then stuffed the whole cooling Poria cocos cake on the table into his mouth, his cheeks puffed out like a squirrel hiding its food.

Hearing the noise, Er'er stepped inside.

"Bah!"

Song Guanhua jumped out, feather duster in hand, crumbs of cake dripping from the corners of his mouth: "You little thief, how dare you steal from my house!"

Er'er looked down and smiled helplessly.

"Song Guanhua! Don't you remember me?"

When the child heard Er'er call his name, his eyes were filled with doubt, and he moved the feather duster in his hand forward a little.

"You are... who are you?"

Er'er looked up at Song Guanhua's chubby cheeks and asked, "What did you eat? It's all over your face."

After saying that, she took a handkerchief from her bosom and threw it over.

"who are you?"

Song Guanhua flung her handkerchief away, fearing it might be drugged.

"I'm……"

Just as Er'er was about to explain, she was interrupted by a loud shout.

"Song Guanhua! You brat, you've skipped school again!"

Qingshan hurriedly put down the food box he was holding.

"what--"

Aoyama's face was gloomy, and his hands, which had been idle for a long time, suddenly started to itch.

The feather duster in Song Guanhua's hand was snatched away, and then two figures, one big and one small, appeared in the yard chasing after her.

Song Guanhua had a very loud voice, shouting as he ran.

Er'er was completely bewildered by the scene.

Wu Yunzhi was instantly awakened by the scream and hurriedly got out of bed and went out.

"Murder! Song Qingshan, you're heartless! I'm your son, how dare you hit me..."

Song Guanhua shouted and jumped from the pavilion into the pond.

"Come down here if you dare!"

With a splash, Song Guanhua soaked in the pool, looking smugly at the green hills on the shore.

"You get up here! You've gone too far! I spent so much money sending you to elementary school, not so you could skip class every other day."

Song Guanhua made a face under the pool: "The teacher told me to go out and kneel as punishment, but wouldn't let me go back in. Does that mean I don't have to attend class?"

"This isn't skipping class; the teacher told me to come back."

Qingshan clenched his fists, his lungs practically bursting with rage: "You idiot, what have you done to make the master angry again?"

Song Guanhua retorted with an innocent look on his face.

Qingshan looked left and right, then ran into the small garden and came back with a stick.

But they found that the figure in the pool had disappeared.

"You brat? Song Guanhua?"

Suddenly panicked, Qingshan dropped the stick and prepared to jump into the pool.

"Hahahaha... You were fooled!"

Song Guanhua suddenly popped his head out, clutching his stomach and laughing loudly.

Qingshan suddenly laughed, "It's good that you're alright! You scared your father to death..."

He was laughing for a while, then his face fell, as if he was about to cry.

Song Guanhua stood there, completely at a loss. By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.

"Clap clap clap..."

"You're inhuman! Are you even my father?"

Song Guanhua's little face was covered in tears, and she was sobbing uncontrollably. Her eyes were full of grievance as she looked at Qingshan.

"If I weren't your father, I wouldn't bother with you."

After Qingshan finished speaking, he put Song Guanhua down.

The boy, clutching his bottom and wiping away tears, continued to wail, "I'm going to tell my mother you hit me!"

Song Guanhua stretched out her hand and pointed at him with a wronged expression.

"Then go ahead and see if your mother beats you more or if I get hit harder?"

Qingshan snorted coldly, picked up the food box, walked through the corridor, and arrived at the door of the side room.

Er'er looked at Song Guanhua behind him and couldn't stop smiling.

"You flatter me! This brat is too naughty; he needs to be disciplined."

As Qingshan spoke helplessly, Wu Yunzhi happened to see Song Guanhua winking and making faces behind him, clearly unconvinced.

Qingshan's face turned slightly pale: "Go and change your clothes and go back to the school right now. What kind of appearance is this?"

Song Guanhua snorted coldly, her hand wiping away tears stopping abruptly.

He walked through the middle of the three people.

She had walked halfway when she remembered, her little face inscrutable.

"who are you?"

Er'er smiled sweetly, "I'm Xu Er'er! Sihai's second sister."

This young man's personality is particularly compatible with Sihai's; he carried Qingshan to deliver quite a few things to Sihai.

Upon hearing what she said, Song Guanhua walked up to her and looked up at her.

"Why are you dressed like that? I didn't even recognize you. I'm so sorry! I thought you were a thief."

Upon closer inspection, it really was Sihai's second sister.

"It's okay, you didn't hit me."

Er'er waved his hand dismissively, not minding at all.

I just felt that this child was just as interesting as Sihai.

"Hey! Why didn't you bring Sihai with you when you came to my house? I miss him so much..."

Once Song Guanhua got interested, he forgot he was going to change his clothes and stood next to Er'er, chattering on and on.

"Are there any schools for children in the world?"

Song Guanhua shuffled along the wall until she stood next to Er'er.

Seeing her shake her head, I was filled with envy.

"Your older sister is so kind; she doesn't even force him to go to school."

The child chirped softly and peeked out to look at his father inside the room.

"Unlike my parents, who always forced me to go to school..."

Song Guanhua grumbled to himself, feeling very unhappy.

Aoyama crossed his arms and said, "Hmm? I see you have a lot of opinions about this."

Song Guanhua shuddered in fright, her short legs moving faster than a dog's.
