At this time, Ye Ling came walking out of the kitchen while carrying breakfast.
“Duo Er, sit down and eat.”
In response to Liu Duo’s question, Ye Yang didn’t lift up his head and continued to earnestly write Liu Duo’s name.
However, that bassy and attractive voice of his slowly rang out. “Little Duo’s name is the most important in my heart.”
In his heart, Little Duo’s name was the most important one he should learn. Moreover, he needed to write it beautifully!
That’s why he kept practicing writing Liu Duo’s name repeatedly.
When Liu Duo heard him, it was as if she had eaten candy, as it felt unbelievably sweet.
Actually, it wasn’t just Ye Yang. Ye Liu, Ye Mo, and Ye Ling would all always write their wife’s name. Right now, they could write her name better than they could write theirs!
Right now, it was about eight-thirty. The three of them sat underneath the roof and each of them did their own things. However, they would still chat happily and the atmosphere felt very harmonious.
As Ye Ling had already told the villagers who came in the morning that they would be traveling, only a few villagers came in the afternoon.
“Duo Er, we will be leaving in a few days so let’s make some flapjacks. What kind of flour do you want me to make them with?” Ye Ling said to Liu Duo.
He had heard before that when one traveled far away to the capital to take the imperial exam, they would usually prepare some rations.
Flapjacks could be made using corn flour, rice flour, or potato flour. Each of them would have different textures when eaten.
After Liu Duo woke up from her afternoon nap, she sat on the rocking chair while hugging Bai Xiaojiao. It had already grown up into a big cat and she was helping it comb its fur.
When Liu Duo heard Ye Ling’s question, she smiled and replied, “Ling, there’s no need. When the time comes, we can just buy food while we are on the road.”
It wasn’t like they didn’t have the money to buy food.
The flapjacks tasted good when they were freshly made but if they brought them on the road, they would turn hard in one or two days, making them taste really bad. Not only were they hard to swallow but they weren’t very nutritious.
“Then will we only be bringing changes of clothes?” Ye Ling asked with uncertainty.
He felt they would have to spend a lot of money if they didn’t prepare rations themselves.
Of course, it wasn’t that he was reluctant to spend money. It was just that he felt it was better to save money when they could. After all, there would be many areas they needed to spend money on after the babies were born!
“Of course. We are going on a vacation so we naturally don’t need to bring too many things. Each of us just needs to bring a few changes of clothes.”
Liu Duo showed a look as if she was not concerned with having to spend a lot of money. They could just earn it after they ran out.
She felt they should pack lightly when going out. After all, it was tiring to bring too many things.
“Oh.” Since his wife had already said as such, Ye Ling no longer said anything more about this.
When he thought about it, he actually quite looked forward to it!
Ye Yang was beside them and he was so quiet it was as if he was invisible. He didn’t feel anything at all about going to the capital in a few days. He didn’t feel even the tiniest bit of anticipation in his heart.
Going anywhere was the same, as long as his wife was happy!
When the sun was about to set, Ye Liu and the others came back with the bullock-cart completely full.
“We are back,” Ye Liu announced before they’d even gotten past the yard door.
When Ye Yang heard him, he got up and went to the yard to meet them, getting ready to help carry the goods.
Liu Duo poured three bowls of water and carried them over with Ye Ling.
“Come, have some water to quench your thirst.”
Ye Liu, Ye Mo, and Li Wazi’s face were all covered with sweat.
“Mr. Liuzi, tomorrow when you come back from town, bring Ran Er back one day in advance,” Liu Duo looked at Ye Liu and said.
She needed to explain to Liu Ran clearly why they weren’t going to bring him on vacation to the capital this time. This was to prevent him from overthinking.
After all, his studies were the most important thing right now!
