Departure

Qibao smiled and said: "Everyone, let's eat it ourselves!"

After receiving Qibao's instructions, everyone began to imitate Qibao and began to grill meat slices. Soon the entire box was filled with the aroma of barbecue, and the aroma of cumin was mixed with it.

They all used to be rarely able to eat meat, perhaps some of them really haven't eaten meat before, and one of them wasn't afraid of burning, as long as it was cooked, they started to put it into their mouths. If it's hot, they would inhale and wouldn't spit it out, with a satisfied look on their faces.

Xi'er's grandfather said: "Sir, this is my first time to eat barbecue like this! I have only seen other people eating it at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant before. Today, thanks to you, I can eat such delicious food."

Qibao said: "Old man, you no longer have to watch others eat. If you want to eat, our family will occasionally cook it."

"Ai! You don't need to call me an old man, sir. My real name is Zheng Laifu. You can just call me by my first name."

Qibao said: "That won't work. How about we all call you Uncle Fu from now on?"

"Since the young master thinks highly of me and is willing to address me with such respect, this can be regarded as my blessing." Uncle Fu laughed.

Qibao said: "Uncle Fu, your good fortune is yet to come! Xi'er will be filial to you in the future." After saying that, she called the waiter to serve everyone a bowl of smoothie, which made them extremely happy.

Er Mao spoke up: "My lord, this ice is not only beautiful but also delicious. It's sour and sweet. It makes my whole body feel very comfortable after eating it." 

Qibao smiled and said: "Eat less, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

"Yes, I understand, sir."

Uncle Fu said: "Sir, this ice must not be cheap, right? I didn't expect that I can eat ice in summer. I am so lucky!"

Qibao said: "My family makes this ice every day, and everyone in our family eats a bowl of it every day to relieve the heat, so you can often eat it in the future."

"Ai, sir, your family is so nice. I want to leave right away." Er Mao said.

"We'll set off tomorrow, it's only half an hour away." Qibao said.

The children felt that today's meal was the best they had ever eaten, and one by one, their mouths were full of grease.

Qibao noticed a kid, the one called Gouzi, who didn't say a word the whole time, everyone laughed and he laughed along with them, but the chopsticks didn't stop waving for a single moment, and he was the only one who ate the most out of all of them.

Qibao said: "Gouzi, eat slowly. Eating food too fast is not good for your stomach."

"Hehehe, sir, I know, I eat just as fast as I can, I'm used to it." Gouzi said.

"Master, this is what Gouzi is like. I remember when I first met him, he was so hungry that he fainted. It was me who begged others for a long time. Only then did I get a bowl of rice porridge to fill him up with, and he got his life back, so he never wasted food, even if it fell on the ground he would pick it up and blow on it and eat it." Xiaofei said.

Qibao really sympathized with them somehow, though she had no idea if they were abandoned or lost, and they all seemed to be miserable people as well.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Qibao paid the money before leading everyone out. Shopkeeper Zhang walked all the way to the door before stopping.

On the way, Er Mao asked: "Sir, don't you own the barbecue restaurant yourself? Why do you still pay money?"

Qibao replied: "That's the rule. You can't say you can't pay silver just because you own the store. At the very least, the staff and chefs in the store cannot work in vain. Only by paying money can the fruits of their labor be rewarded."

Er Mao nodded as if he understood.

Qibao led a group of people through the door, sat down and said: "Since you are already mine, the names you use now need to be changed. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads and said: "We don't have a problem with that, and we'd like to ask the young master to give us a name."

Qibao thought for a while and said: "Then let's start your names with "Yue ", Chun Wa will be called "Yue Yang" from now on, Xiaofei will be called "Yue Yi", Er Mao will be called "Yue Xuan", Ajie will be called "Yue Lang", Shuanzi will be called "Yue Feng", Da Wang will be called "Yue Lan", Tianiu will be changed to "Yue Xuan", and Gouzi will be called "Yue Hao"! Do you guys like this name?"

"Wow! Young master, the name you gave us is really nice. I like the name Yue Xuan so much!" Er Mao said happily.

"Sir, what about us?" Qiu Ya asked impatiently. The young master hasn't named the four girls yet!

Qibao exclaimed: "Don't be in a hurry, you're girls, of course your names should sound nicer, from now on, Qiu Ya will be called "Yue Bing", Xi'er will be called "Yue Xue", Maman will be called "Yue Jiao", and Yingying will be called "Yue Wu!"

"My name is Yue Jiao! I have a name, and I like it!" The little round face smiled particularly cutely.

When Qibao saw her, she just wanted to go up and pinch her face, but she had to maintain her gentleman's demeanor, so she rubbed her hands together and picked up her fan and swung it.

Manman said: "Is the young master very hot? Let me fan you!"

Qibao put away her fan and spoke: "No need, in the future, you can just call each other by your current names, and don't call each other by your previous names."

"Yes, sir!" Twelve people answered in unison that they were very happy with the name that the young master gave them. It sounded much better than the previous name, and they had also met people with the same name as theirs.

Qibao said: "Alright, after you finish having a bath, all of you go back to your rooms and take a rest, tomorrow we'll get up early and set off back to the Xujia Village!"

"Yes!" A few little ones jumped towards the backyard, intending to boil hot water for bathing. Uncle Fu was a little worried and limped behind them to the kitchen.

Not long after, Yue Yang knocked on Qibao's door and said: "Sir, the hot water has been boiled and we have delivered the bathtub."

Qibao opened the door and saw several little guys standing at the door carrying a bathtub and panting.

Qibao stepped forward, took the barrel, and put it in her room, leaving several people standing in confusion at the door, unable to recover.

Qibao was used to everyone's looks like this and said: "I'm going to take a shower, so you guys hurry up and get cleaned up too!"

Yue Yang also realized what he was doing, with a look of admiration on his face. The bucket contained more than half of the water. It took them a lot of effort to carry it over. They didn't expect the young master to be so strong, and said with a look of admiration: "Sir, let me help you take a bath!"

The corners of Qibao's mouth twitched, thinking that if she allowed him to help her bathe then she wouldn't be giving him a naked look, so she said: "No, I don't like people around me when I take a shower." After saying that, she closed the door, leaving Yue Yang and the others standing outside the door looking at each other.

...

The next day, when Qibao got up, everyone else had already gotten up and cleaned up neatly. The girls helped each other comb their hair and tidy up their clothes. The boys also took good care of their usually messy hair and tied it back with a piece of cloth.

Qibao was speechless and asked: "What are you doing? Beauty pageant?"

Yue Bing replied: "Master, aren't you going to take us home today? Of course we have to tidy up and leave a good image!"

Qibao was a bit dumbfounded. Even Uncle Fu had cleaned himself up properly and changed into the new clothes she had helped him buy previously, and even though he had bad legs and feet, he looked extraordinarily refreshed today.

After they were all dressed up, she brought a group of people to the entrance of the town, chartered two carriages, and set off toward the Xujia Village.
