The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 202 Exile 29

On the other side of the northern border is the Ice Country, which is also the country where Lu Fufeng is located.

He had come here once in March, mainly to say hello to the people on the border. After all, his future father-in-law would be guarding the border and building the city walls here. If he didn't make arrangements in advance, he might suffer some hardships.

In April, Lu Fufeng came over once.

This time he came mainly to give gifts to the officers and soldiers. The difference from before was that he brought Chao Tiancai with him.

If he was not brought along, the other officers and soldiers would not know who to take care of, so Lu Fufeng put a lot of thought into it.

Before leaving, Chao Tiancai was still thinking about whether he should dress himself up a little, otherwise it would embarrass his future son-in-law.

But unexpectedly, Lu Fufeng asked him to keep a low profile and not to dress too fancy, but just to dress simply and cleanly.

"Father-in-law, if you dress too well, it will arouse the jealousy of others. It will be useless for us to inform them in advance. It is better to dress simply and neatly. After all, there are not many people who can dress neatly in this place. Most people have a hard time even surviving, so who would think of dressing themselves neatly?"

Chao Tiancai suddenly realized, "So that's how it is, this is the low-key way of showing off!"

He followed Lu Fufeng into a house, which was a temporary resting place for officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers in the north take turns on duty, so they also have other personal residences locally. After all, their families are here, and they can't go too far.

Lu Fufeng entered the yard with a carriage full of gifts, and began to distribute them one by one, introducing each person as his future father-in-law.

Chaotian then smiled apologetically. These officers and soldiers would not say anything unpleasant after receiving the gifts. After all, only by getting along well with those who can give gifts, will there be new gifts to receive every year.

If you offend others with your arrogant attitude, you may not be able to receive gifts in the future.

Who doesn't like to have extra income?

Even if they really believed from the bottom of their hearts that Chao Tiancai's family was lucky, otherwise who would be able to meet such a rich man after being exiled here?

The key point is that this rich man is willing to help their family to establish connections. Even if they look down on him, they have to sigh that his daughter is capable.

After sending everyone away, half a day had passed.

The carriage was empty, and Lu Fufeng took Chao Tiancai back home.

Chaoyao had already prepared food for them. Lu Fufeng had helped their family so much today, and he must be rewarded well.

As soon as he saw Chao Yao, the smile on Lu Fufeng's face never faded. Because he was traveling all year round, he could not see Chao Yao very often.

Now that he can finally see the person he has been thinking about, he really feels that his eyes are not enough.

Chao Yao picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Lu Fufeng's bowl. The method of making braised pork was taught to her by the cook when she first traveled through time. It was Liu Fufeng's favorite dish at that time.

Even after so many lifetimes, one can still taste her cooking.

As long as it was made by her, Fu Feng would eat a few more pieces.

"This braised pork is delicious. I can't get enough of it every time I come here."

Lu Fufeng picked up another piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth.

Because he is on the road all year round, he eats very fast. Even if he can slow down, he is still much faster than ordinary people.

Chao Yao looked at him with a bit of heartache, "Eat slowly, there is still so much on the plate, how can you finish it?"

Lu Fufeng grinned, "I'm not afraid that you guys will rush to eat, but I'm used to it. When doing business in the north, we often encounter very cold weather. If we eat slowly, the rice will turn into ice sculptures, and then we really can't eat it."

He said it lightly, but Chao Yao could hear a lot of bitterness in it.

It’s not easy to make money outside. Those who do make a little money either exchange it for their time or their life.

"I will accompany you from now on."

Chao Yao's voice was faint, but Lu Fufeng felt a warmth coming from it.

"it is good."

They had a very enjoyable meal, and Lu Fufeng also reported on the progress of his wedding preparations. In fact, he had prepared everything and was just waiting for Chao Yao to marry him.

But he also knew Chao Yaoyi's original intention of staying to accompany his family, so he always described his progress as slow.

Chao Tiancai and the others were quite satisfied, and that's why Lu Fufeng even sent them a wedding dress.

However, this wedding dress had not been embroidered before. He had heard that the daughter had to prepare the wedding dress herself, so he did not dare to ask other embroiderers to embroider anything on it.

In fact, Yang Piao Tiao has been worrying about what to do with the wedding dress, because it is not available in this place and she has no way to buy it somewhere farther away.

Now seeing that Lu Fufeng is all ready, the joy in his eyes cannot be hidden.

"Yaoyao, go try it on and see if it fits."

Lu Fufeng also quickly agreed, "Yes, Yaoyao, go and try it on. If it doesn't fit, I'll ask the tailor to make some changes."

Chao Yao took the wedding dress with a smile, went back to the room to try it on, and found that it fit quite well. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was tailor-made for her. It was obvious that Lu Fufeng had put a lot of thought into it.

I can't wear this wedding dress out to show them now, otherwise there will be no surprise.

After taking it off and folding it, Chao Yao walked out.

"It fits you well. I can tell you put a lot of thought into it. Your eyes are your ruler."

Chao Yao smiled with an ambiguous meaning, and Lu Fufeng's face turned red instantly.

Before others could react, Lu Fufeng quickly changed the subject.

In the following period of time, Chaoyao spent her time farming and embroidering wedding dresses. This time she used Suzhou embroidery.

She kept the wedding dress from every life. Although she could only wear it once, it was also a thought.

Because Chao Tiancai had greeted them before, the officers and soldiers never treated him harshly.

As long as he completes his own duties, he will never be given any extra work.

Chao Yao was afraid that he might encounter something outside, so every time Chao Tiancai and his wife went out, he would give them an amulet to prevent them from encountering any accidents when he was away.

If they encountered any danger, Chao Yao would know it first and rush over.

I thought amulets like this might not be used very often, but I didn't expect that in just two months, the couple encountered life-threatening situations more than ten times.

Every time they rushed over to Yao, they would not find anyone confronting them. All the dangers were accidents.

If it happens once or twice it's fine, but if it happens every time, it will arouse suspicion.
