The Eldest Sister Has Space
The Eldest Sister Has Space Chapter 45: Yongfu Village

Gu Yunshu and Gu Yunko were a bit reluctant to leave Aunt Ke. They seemed a bit listless when they first got on the carriage.

But after leaving the city gate for a while, they finally perked up.

It was the first time the two children had ridden in a carriage. The cushions under their bottoms were soft, and there were boards on all four sides. When the curtains were drawn, the sun couldn’t shine in, and they couldn’t see outside.

“Big sister,” Gu Yunshu leaned against the window for a while before turning his head with a blush on his face. “Is Yongfu Village far away? Are there many people? Where will we stay when we get there? Do we need to build a house?”

“Why do you have so many questions?” Gu Yundong chuckled.

Gu Yunshu grinned, “Big sister probably doesn’t know either, but it’s okay. We’ll find out when we get there.”

Gu Yunko had already leaned into Gu Yundong’s arms, holding the peanuts Aunt Ke had given her and nibbling on them like a little hamster.

In Yangshi’s arms was a large bundle containing clothes for the family of four, both new and old, as well as the shoes Aunt Ke had made and a large bag of pastries.

There were also two backpacks in the carriage, containing some things they had bought in the capital in the past few days. Although not much, everything was neatly packed.

Gu Yundong watched as the scenery outside slowly receded, feeling a sense of anticipation and excitement in her heart.

Finally, they would have a new home.

The carriage wasn’t moving very fast, and with two children inside, comfort was the priority.

So, after a day’s journey, they only arrived at Fengkai County Town, just before the city gate closed. Fortunately, they entered the city in time.

It was already late, so Gu Yundong took them to an inn to stay overnight. They set out again the next day after the city gate opened, heading for Yongfu Village.

Nailiang did find them a good village. Yongfu Village was about two hours away from the county town and an hour away from the town. It would take three days to reach the capital. This was only the walking time; it would be faster with a carriage or an ox cart.

Therefore, when they set out from the county town and arrived at Yongfu Village in a carriage, it was still early in the day.

Many people in the village were already busy in the fields, and almost every household had smoke rising as they cooked breakfast.

The children in the village gathered at the entrance, playing and making noise. Suddenly, they saw a large carriage approaching, and they ran up curiously.

There were only two households in the village that had carts pulled by oxen, and carriages were very expensive. They couldn’t even afford to buy them, let alone ride in them.

Now, seeing a spirited horse pulling a large carriage, they surrounded it in curiosity. Who was this, and why were they coming to their village in a carriage? What was even more rare was that there was a cart behind the carriage.

The speed of the carriage slowed down, and Gu Yundong opened the curtain and saw a child walking up to the side.

She waved to him and handed him a candy, asking, “Do you know how to get to the village chief’s house?”

The child, about the same size as Gu Yunshu, brightened up when he saw the candy, and his mouth watered. Their village wasn’t very prosperous, and they didn’t have many opportunities to eat candy. They could only taste it during the New Year.

He nodded eagerly, “I know, I know. I’ll take you there.”

He stuffed the candy into his mouth and ran ahead to lead the way.

The other children looked on enviously. If they had known earlier, they would have run faster to be the first to speak.

Gu Yundong then lowered the curtain, but the next moment, she suddenly lifted it again and watched a figure flash by in the distance, feeling… somewhat familiar.
