"Zhi'Er, take these eggs to eat on the road."
"And take this jerky too. Don't go hungry."
"Keep this silver safe. I sewed five taels of silver into the lining of your inner clothes."
Early in the morning, at the doorway of Fang Yue's home.
Ms. Chen fussed over Fang Yue, packing his travel bag. She put in two new sets of clothes, with the rest of the space filled with silver coins and all sorts of food.
The previous evening at dinner, Fang Yue had announced his plan to travel to Xiahe County Town.
He also mentioned he would be staying in Xiahe County Town for an extended period, wanting to observe this year's Military Examination and broaden his horizons.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Chen and Father Fang stayed up the entire night.
They bustled about the house, getting everything ready for Fang Yue.
She pulled out all the stops in the kitchen, preparing a veritable feast of food and drink for him.
