Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 468 Return to the Capital

Song Chunlin smiled and stuffed a small basket of fruits into Liu Xiaoman's hands. These fruits were all picked from the space to entertain guests, including strawberries, prunes, plums, and yellow cherry tomatoes. These were rare fruits that could not be found on the market. Not only did they taste good, but the red and green colors were also very beautiful. The child was attracted at first sight. The little guy ran back to his mother with the fruit basket in his hands, his little face flushed, and he held up the basket to share with his mother.

Liu Huaer touched her son's head, told him not to eat the fruit, and let him play with other children to share the fruit.

Aunt Wang watched the interaction between the mother and son and said to the people beside her: "Girls change a lot when they grow up. How can she still change?"

Another aunt teased her, "You are so old and you can still change, why can't others who are young change?"

"Exactly. Look at you, all decked out in gold and silver. If I weren't from the same village as you, I would have thought you were some rich lady."

A group of people burst into laughter when they heard this. Aunt Wang was not annoyed. Instead, she proudly put her hands in front of those people. There was a gold bracelet on each wrist, and she was indeed rich.

When Song Qin and the others came back, the villagers had dispersed. After the family had lunch at noon, Song Chunlin said he wanted to visit the village head and the clan leader.

Grandpa Song: "Well, it's time to visit. When does Chunlin plan to return to the capital? What about the palace?"

Song Chunlin calculated that if they followed Gu Fengyue's speed, they would probably arrive at the end of December. However, they would have to return to the capital first, and Gu Fengyue would definitely have to go to the palace, but Song Chunlin didn't want to go to the palace so soon, so he planned to return to the capital after a few days.

"Let's not talk about the Marquis for now. Aren't there many people going to the North to take up posts? It seems that the Ministry of Justice will also send a group of people there. I guess they won't have time to deal with me. I will go there after most of them have left."

Grandpa Song nodded: "Okay, as long as you know what's going on, but the Marquis's wife is about to give birth, so you still have to hurry up."

"Sister-in-law is about to give birth? They didn't mention this in the letter." Song Chunlin was shocked. How could Gu Fengyun hide such a big thing?

Song Dazhuang added, "We're worried you'll be distracted fighting over there. But you're back at the perfect time. Your two sisters-in-law gave birth shortly after each other, so we can rest assured knowing you're here to watch over us."

Song Chunlin thought about it and felt that it would be safer to use his mental power to sense first, so he released his mental power and sensed it briefly. He found that everything was normal in the Marquis' Mansion, so he felt relieved.

After lunch, Song Qin pulled Song Chunlin into the house and began to measure his size, saying that she wanted to make winter clothes for him.

Song Chunlin looked through the pile of cloth and felt that he actually had enough clothes, but seeing Song Qinshi's enthusiastic look, he didn't refuse.

"Mom, why don't you just make one? We're really pressed for time, and I have a few new clothes in my room. That one will work, too."

Song Qin glared at him. "How can they be the same? Those are made according to your previous measurements. You haven't been home for these years. I don't know if you've gained weight or lost weight. They may not fit you as well as before. Don't move around. Wait for me to measure you. It will be quick."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade his mother, Song Chunlin simply let her go, but was just thinking about whether he should pick more blueberries for Song Qinshi to supplement her eyes.

After staying at the Song family for a few more days, Song Chunlin felt that his somewhat tired body had finally rested. Although his supernatural powers had reached their peak now, the journey in the past few days was still very exhausting. This kind of energy could not be restored by relying on spiritual spring water alone. After eating and drinking well and resting for a few days at home, Song Chunlin said that he was a lively young man again.

Su Fuqing's stomach has become tighter in the past two days, and her entire back and waist are hurting. Although she has already given birth to a child, this feeling is more painful than the first one.

Old Madam Su felt so distressed to see her son working so hard that she wished she could stay by his bedside every day.

The young master was very well-behaved. Every day after school he would come back to talk to his little sister in her belly, hoping that she would be more well-behaved.

The adults all laughed at him. How could they know it was a sister when the baby wasn't even born yet? Couldn't it be a brother?

The young master frowned and expressed his resistance to his younger brother.

"My classmates' sisters are all very cute, but their brothers are very noisy. I don't like brothers. I still prefer sweet and soft sisters."

Before returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Song Chunlin made a special trip to Xingchengfang. Now Songsong has become the store manager of Xingchengfang. He used his wages to support his sister to go to the county school. The same goes for other children in the store. He took out a part of his wages, which was enough for the children in the Charity Bureau to go to school.

"Welcome, Brother Song!"

"It's Brother Song!"

The shop assistants ran out in surprise and found that it was really Song Chunlin. They all started chattering around Song Chunlin and almost forgot about their work. It was only when the manager came out that they returned to their posts. However, they all had happy faces, which surprised the customers.

Some customers who didn't know Song Chunlin asked the clerk who he was and why they were so excited to see him.

The clerk told them with a smile: "You know the sharpshooter who protects the country, right? That's him."

"Tsk, everyone knows that the sharpshooter is still hunting the golden men in the north, how could he appear here?"

"Brother, you may not know this, but the Jin Kingdom has been defeated."

"Of course I know they've taken it down, but it was just taken down. How could he return to the capital so quickly?"

"He's a sharpshooter. Besides, our Dajing has been committed to road construction in recent years. Maybe the road over there is now completed, so that's why it's so fast."

"That's right, he doesn't seem to have an official position. If he wants to come back early, shouldn't he just tell the Grand Marshal?"

These people were discussing heatedly outside, and the shop assistants didn't care. Each of them stretched their necks, wanting to take a few more looks at Song Chunlin.

However, Song Chunlin just exchanged a few pleasantries with the manager, asked about the operation of the store, and then went back with some freshly made cakes and milk tea.

It is definitely not enough to just bring back cake and milk tea. When he was at the Song family, Song Chunlin also prepared gifts for everyone. Naturally, he had to bring gifts back to the Marquis' Mansion, especially since he had just learned that Su Fuqing was going to give birth, so he had to bring things for the baby.

So Song Chunlin temporarily rented a carriage. He gave the coachman a mental hint, and then kept taking things out of the space until the carriage was full.

Su Fu thought he had misheard when he heard the report from the doorman. It was not until Song Chunlin came over with a smile, carrying a cake and milk tea, that he realized it was true.

"You, you're back? When did you come back? Why didn't you let the Marquis pick you up... Hey, are you alone?"

"Well, I'm alone with my sister-in-law. Gu Fengyue is still over there and can't leave. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I went back early. Are you surprised?"

"Happy, of course I wouldn't be happy, come in and sit down."
