Chapter 14, the farewell at the post station, is tense yet humorous.
Qiu Rongmu slowly unfolded the letter, the strong, vigorous handwriting immediately catching the eye.
He wasn't in a hurry to respond to these things, but as his eyes wandered between the lines, he suddenly realized that he had been given an interview opportunity.
At that moment, Little Wolf's expression changed from contemplation to brightness, and a hint of undisguised joy was revealed between his brows.
He couldn't help but grab the chubby little hand of the boy next to him, squeeze his paw, and chuckle softly:
"Finally, this moment has arrived! It truly is a godsend!!!"
Early Tang Dynasty Autumn Day: Mother, Little Sizi, Little Nangjun, and Father's family gathered under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard to discuss the upcoming job interview notice, during which there were many laughs.
Little Sizi (shaking a rattle drum, his big head swaying):
"Hey! Short-legged, willful little pouch, have you received the **'Noodle Persimmon' notice? Does it mean you don't have to take the imperial examination?"
Little Nangjun (looking helpless):
"Stop joking! It's an 'interview,' the 'noodle' of noodles and the 'test' of chatting!"
Mother (who had just sat down to drink tea, immediately stood up upon hearing the news, and tripped her leg, ouch!):
"What? An interview? Let me see this right now, or is it a scammer sending you a ramen restaurant invitation?!"
(Ah Ye leans closer, stroking his beard and smiling):
"Look, look, I knew our Amu was going to make a fortune!"
Mother (huddled close to Amu, craning her neck to read the letter, her brows furrowed):
"Hmph, dough is good, but this letter seems to say that we're going to the Northeast, where it's so cold that your eyebrows, beard, and snot will freeze into icicles."
The older sister was actually a little curious, but couldn't help but join in with her mother's encouragement:
"Yes, yes! Mother is right, 'frozen north, frozen north,' it sounds so freezing!"
Little Nangjun (shrugs helplessly):
"Mother and elder sister, what am I doing here?! This is the kingdom of my dream of farming!!"
Mother pursed her lips (still looking worried, as if she understood everything):
"A dream kingdom of farming? What if? You said the same thing last time, and nothing came of it. Don't let it freeze you back after just one trip! You haven't found a job, and the livelihood your dad found for you has also frozen away! Heading north!"
The older sister said, "Yes, little brother, why don't you stay in Chang'an? At least we won't be shivering in the cold here! Father has already found a good job; what's not better than farming?!"
Aye was still smiling like Santa Claus (patting Little Nangjun on the shoulder):
"Don't worry, don't worry! Your mother is just worrying too much. The Northeast won't send you a letter for no reason. It must need someone as talented as you."
The older sister's eyes lit up: Did they mention how the salary would be?
The mother continued to squint and look: "No, it wasn't mentioned at all. Not only would it cost money, but it would also delay the person your father asked you to help."
Little Sizi absolutely had to say something about Little Nangjun. In her childish voice, she said, "It's normal not to mention money, right? Maybe, Dongbei Bianbian will just give it to Amu-gege—a whole ice cream! I believe Guoguo's future is absolutely fantastic!"
Sister (holding a teacup, sighing):
"What does a little kid know? What future prospects? I think if he freezes into an ice sculpture and holds an ice sculpture exhibition, nobody can stop him!!!"
The mother nodded repeatedly: "My child, stay warm and cozy in Chang'an, earn some money, and don't keep thinking about these things like farming and raising cattle in the freezing north."
...In any case, Sizi saw that Aye and Xiaonangjun Amu both showed satisfied and expectant smiles.
Although Aye supported his son, he still gave Xiao Nangjun some advice: "The so-called Northeast region, although it sounds like the land of nature, can also be regarded as a barbarian culture from a foreign land if the words are not so pleasant to hear."
Xiao Nangjun nodded.
Scene: A family bids farewell to Xiao Nangjun Amu and his little Sizi, the atmosphere at the post station is tense yet humorous.
Mother (with a worried expression and a choked voice):
"My sons, I'm so worried about you all this way! What if it's the same as last time? In the end, it'll all be for nothing, and you won't get any jobs or livelihood!"
Little Sizi said: I will take care of Guoguo, it won't be a "hole" situation!
Little Nangjun smiled helplessly (and quickly comforted his mother):
"Mother, don't worry! They won't send me on this long journey for no reason! This is a formal 'battle'! I have a feeling!"
Little Sizi (shaking a rattle drum with great confidence):
"Yes, yes, Mother, Father, Sister, don't worry! I'm the 'Principal,' I'm not afraid. I'm a person of importance! I'll take good care of Ah Mu and Xiao Nang Jun. With me here, we'll definitely be able to 'return home in glory,' wearing new clothes and bringing gold bars home!"
