The night passed peacefully. The next morning, Zhu Yanyi woke up at four o’clock. She had prepared the dough the night before, planning to make easy-to-carry egg pancakes and steamed buns early in the morning.
While porridge simmered on the stove, Zhu Yanyi made the buns. She prepared about fifty or sixty of them, placing them in the steamer. Once they were done, she started making egg pancakes. She made twenty pancakes in total. Besides what everyone would eat for breakfast, she planned for Zhu Shunyao and the others to take fifteen pancakes and forty buns for their journey.
By the time Zhu Shunyao and the others woke up, Zhu Yanyi had almost finished. She smiled and said, "Let’s eat breakfast first. I’ve made porridge, egg pancakes, and buns."
After everyone finished eating, Zhu Yanyi took out two bags. "Dad, Mom, this bag has buns wrapped in thick paper. This one has egg pancakes wrapped in oil paper. You can eat them on the road. Dad, you can ask the train restaurant to heat them up. Actually, they are fine cold, but eating cold food in this freezing weather is bad for your health."
She then pointed to a box. "Inside this box, I put two small bottles of Spirit Spring water and some daily medicine, like cold and stomach medicine. It’s better to be prepared. Please take some back with you."
"Okay, I’ve remembered everything," Zhu Shunyao nodded, telling Xie Xinlian to hide the items safely.
Yan Aohan helped load the luggage into the car. "I will see you onto the train and make sure you are settled. After I return, I will call Haifeng. He will drive to the station to pick you up." Yan Aohan spoke seriously. "Also, Uncle Shunyao, Auntie, don’t think it’s troublesome to bring Zhao Cong and the others with you in the future. I have made adjustments. From now on, Li Zhi, Zhao Cong, and Chen Da will be responsible for your safety when you travel. Li Zhi will follow Uncle Shunyao, Zhao Cong will follow Auntie, and Chen Da is good at coordination and communication, so he will be your liaison. This way, you won’t have to worry about your safety."
"Little Yan, is it really necessary to go to such trouble?" Since Li Zhi and the others moved into the Zhu family home, Zhu Shunyao had already considered them family. This trip to the capital was decided on short notice, so he only asked Li Zhi and the others to buy tickets, not to accompany them. Mainly, Zhu Shunyao still wasn’t used to having people follow him around.
"Uncle, I won’t say much else. You know Ani’s medical skills; they have surpassed Old Master Yao. Although Old Master Yao is missing now, with Ani here, the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Huaxia will not decline. Instead, it is likely to rise. In this process, Ani is a very important person. She may be envied by others, which could bring trouble. Although I have protected Ani’s information, we must always be prepared for the unexpected. You two are Ani’s closest relatives right now. Only when you are safe can Ani move forward without holding back." Yan Aohan didn’t say anything else, only revealing a little.
Zhu Shunyao pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Alright. Actually, when Li Zhi and the others moved into my house, I had this feeling. But I always thought I was just a country bumpkin and shouldn’t have many problems. What you said is right. It’s not just about Ani’s abilities. The main thing is that the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Group has been established. Although its scale is not large yet, it will grow one day. Once it develops, my own safety is also important. Money moves people’s hearts. It’s always good to be careful."
