Ling Pao Head and Qiao Zhaoshi talked about the goods brought back by the Pao Team, which were almost sold. Today, when the merchant comes to pick up another batch of goods, there will be fewer left.

Ling's head meant that the two cars of goods were divided into one point in the escort team. Qiao Zhaoshi and most of the escorts agreed. The few escorts had other meanings, and they were unwilling to give up the benefits they got.

The escort team set off after two days of rest. Ling Pao Head told the guests that the escort team wanted to rush forward. If they did not object, they would set off early and stop to rest later these days.

After the guests agreed, Ling Botto and the escorts discussed the itinerary. It was cold now, and everyone thought that they would try to have something to stop the wind and snow at night.

After the escort team set off, when they first rushed, the guests were still controversial. After all, they did not have the same hardship as they did now.

The escort team was delayed on the road, and at night, they had to stop in the wilderness. After a night like this, the guests no longer made any noise in interfering with the escort team's itinerary.

In the wind and snowy weather, everyone had always been worried that it would be difficult to walk on the road, but they arrived at Pinghe City smoothly.

On the evening when the escort team entered Pinghe City, there was already some New Year atmosphere in the city. Ling Huaduo and Qiao Yunran entered the escort agency. They saw big red lanterns hanging on the walls around the escort agency.

The two looked at each other and whispered: "Did we both remember the wrong days? We clearly remember that it will take more than half a month to celebrate the New Year?"

The escort manager happened to come to them, and he smiled and said, "You remembered the days wrongly. It will take more than half a month to celebrate the New Year. The head of the escort team heard that your escort team went smoothly this time, so he said that our escort agency could hang red lanterns happily."

Ling Huaduo and Qiao Yunran looked at each other, and they smiled and said, "The lanterns in the escort agency are very beautiful and joyful."

The escort manager nodded gently and walked forward. He liked to do the job of welcoming the escort team the most. Every time the escort team members would bring him an extra gift.

The escort manager arranged for someone to send the guests out of the escort agency separately, and the escort team members found an empty room in the backyard. When Ling Pao Head was on the road, he had already divided the money for sale, and now he was divided into the goods brought back from Jiangnan.

When Qiao Zhaoshi and Qiao Shan went back, they were in the same carriage as Ling Pao Head. In the carriage, Ling Pao Head said to Qiao Zhaoshi: "I will discuss the accounts with the General Pao Head in the past two days. In two days, I will talk to you about the matter."

Qiao Zhaoshi and Ling Biaotou smiled and said, "Brother Ling, I'm not that anxious. You've got home and have a good rest for a few days."

In the night, Ling PaoTou whispered: "We have returned to Pinghe City, and I don't feel tired either. I will handle the things in my hands first. Everyone will have to use money before the New Year. I will also arrange things for next year first. I will have a bright future for this day, and I am happy."

Qiao Zhaoshi and Qiao Shan got off the carriage, and Ling Biaotou helped Qiao Zhaoshi take down the cloth and bags, and the father and daughter sat in the carriage and left.

It was very dark at night. In the darkness, Ling Huaduo whispered: "Dad, are you reluctant to part with Uncle Qiao?"

Ling Biaotou responded softly and said, "Flower, people always have to face many differences in their lives. As long as they leave, they will have a good future, and I will be happy for them."

Ling Huaduo whispered for a while: "Dad, I can't bear to leave Ran'er. She and I are good friends. Next year, will Ran'er and I still meet as often as before?"

Ling PaoTou sighed leisurely and said, "Chuaduo, she can accompany you next year, but in the future you get older and she get older, you won't get along so much."

In the night, Ling Huaduo slowly laughed and whispered: "Dad, I am your daughter. I also hope that Ran'er has a good future, and she and I will be good friends for the rest of our lives."

The night covered Ling Biao's feelings on his face. He still answered his daughter, and said with a hint of smile: "Okay, Huaduo and Ran'er will be good friends for the rest of their lives."

After Ling Huaduo heard Ling's head's words, she smiled happily and said softly: "Dad, what kind of marriage do you think Uncle Qiao will find for Ran'er? Will he allow Ran'er to go out?"

Ling PaoTou fell silent. The old things that Qiao Zhaoshi mentioned by chance made Ling PaoTou heard that the Qiao family in the capital was probably an official family, and the rules of the official family were heavy. Even if the young woman had the opportunity to go out, she was afraid that she would not have many times.

The carriage was parked in front of the Ling family's yard door. Ling's father and daughter got off the carriage and gently patted the yard door. The sound of running came from the yard, and then the yard door opened.

The coachman watched Ling Huaduo and his daughter enter the yard door, and he drove the carriage back, thinking in his mind whether any of his relatives would have the chance to join Ling's head escort team.

The news that Qiao Zhaoshi and Qiao Shan returned home made everyone in the Qiao family happy. Everyone thought that this time they would still go back like last year, but they came back earlier.

Before Qiao Zheng came home, Qiao Zhao picked up Qiao Shan’s things and put them into the guest room. He soon came out of Qiao Zheng’s house. He said to the wet nurse Qiao who was delivered to the door: “Wet nurse, let’s talk well tomorrow.”

Husband Qiao looked at Qiao Zhaoshi and nodded and said, "Master Shi, don't worry, you and the little lady have a good rest, I won't go anywhere."

When Qiao Zhaoshi returned home, he followed Dai, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, and said, "Madam, Ran'er and I have eaten in the escort agency. We don't have to eat anymore. You can prepare hot water for us to bathe."

Dai stopped busy because of this. She looked up at Qiao Zhaoshi and said, "Mr., I'll send hot water for Ran'er first. I'll look at her dark face."

Qiao Zhaoshi quickly followed Dai and said, "My wife, is there enough water in our house? Should I bring a few buckets of water to boil first?"

The couple talked about the trivial matters at home. Qiao Zhaoshi picked up a bucket of hot water and sent it to the bathroom. Qiao Yunran had already entered his room and walked around.

After Qiao Yunran took a shower, Qiao Zhaoshi walked around the house. He whispered to Dai, who had been with him, "I see that there is not much firewood in the house. It's too late today. I'll go to the escort agency tomorrow to pull back our truck."

Dai quickly whispered to Qiao Zhaoshi: "Honey, there is not much firewood on the wet nurse's side. We originally thought of buying some firewood back, but the price of firewood in the city is getting higher and higher day by day. We just thought about waiting for you and Shan'er's father to come back."
