Chapter 356: Entering the Capital (2)_1
On the day they reached the capital, it was already the fifth day of Lunar February, more than half a month since they first planned to set up a nursing home. Because they had delayed their trip to the capital by half a month to help Huo Yuan set up the nursing home, Huo Yuan felt touched and also slightly delighted.
How kindly little sister Wei’er treated him!
By now it was Lunar February, and the weather was not as cold. Mu Zhongqing’s family were delightfully on the road to the capital. Along the way, they occasionally admired the scenery, experiencing the different local customs at each place they passed. On the road with them was the well-travelled, cultured and congenial Huo Yuan, which made their journey far from lonesome.
The further south they traveled, the closer they got to the capital. The weather grew warmer, while in Qingyun town it was still freezing with water turning into ice. However, in the South, mountains were showing their greenery and trees were budding.
Upon seeing these scenes, Wen’er and Wu’er became restless in the carriage. They often poked their little heads out of the carriage window to appreciate the birds singing and flowers blooming, and to relish the beautiful spring scenery. Sometimes, they stared wide-eyed at the pedestrians who were walking at a leisurely pace.
At this time, the pedestrians had all taken off their padded jackets and switched to lightweight coats, walking in the bright sunshine of spring. As the weather became warmer, it seemed to lift their spirits.
The Mu family members were all still wearing thick padded clothes. The coat they used to wear was a coarse cloth filled with patches, which was too tattered to be worn outside. Moreover, they had all been left in Mu Family Village and never brought out. Cai Wei planned to buy a new coat for her family members in the next city, as they were too hot in their cotton jackets and couldn’t wear them anymore.
