Chapter 1344 Meng Yunzheng's Top Case in the County Examination

Zhao Xi, being an experienced man, could easily understand this look, and immediately widened his eyes.

Holy crap, someone's eyeing my brother's wife?

On second thought, that doesn't make sense. The person is about to go to the capital and won't be back for a while, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Relieved, Zhao Xi returned home to take care of his pregnant wife without any distractions.

After seeing Xiang Weinan off, Shu Yu began preparing for the production of instant noodles. Although the workshop wasn't busy and there was space, it was still not feasible to produce instant noodles in the original workshop; it seemed they would have to build another one.

When Shu Yu mentioned it to Lu Erbai, the latter immediately said it was no problem. He had enough people under his command and could easily spare some to build a workshop.

However, before the workshop could even be built, Meng Yunzheng's letter had already arrived.

As expected, he was the top scorer.

He also said that Shu Yu's instant noodles are perfect for bringing into the exam room, which suits the name perfectly. Not only are they suitable for exam rooms, but they are also suitable for long-distance travelers and merchants. If possible, this business could be started.

This is exactly what Shu Yu was thinking.

Meng Yunzheng said he was fine, but after the county exam, there was the prefectural exam and the provincial exam, which was in June. He wouldn't be able to come back until at least July.

Although he had only been away from Jiangyuan County for a month, he already wanted to come back.

Zhao Xi looked at the sentence with disgust, "When did you become so attached to your home?"

Shu Yu put the letter away and wouldn't let him see it.

Zhao Xi, “…”

Shu Yu replied to Meng Yunzheng, telling him about the situation here. She mentioned that Zhao Xi was about to become a father, as well as two business deals with the capital, Xiang Weinan's return to the capital, and the newly arrived county magistrate. She wrote a long and detailed letter, which turned out to be several pages long.

After sending the letter out, Shu Yu went back to work in the workshop.

Not long after, the early full moon arrived.

When the little girl turned one month old, it was also the time when Zhou Qiao finished her postpartum confinement. Da Niu and she discussed it and decided not to have a big celebration.

However, the location was changed to Shangshi Village. The third-day celebration was held at Shuyu's house. It wouldn't be appropriate to keep holding it there, or it would be inappropriate if word got out.

Moreover, a baby who is one month old should be taken home to visit.

Fortunately, the Lu family's house has been renovated. The yard has been expanded, and the whole place is much cleaner and tidier.

The combined number of people from the Lu and Zhou families is at least five tables.

This time, Zhou Lao Er and his wife did come, bringing their two sons and two daughters along, insisting on riding in Zhou's father's mule cart.

If the child weren't so young, there really wouldn't be enough room for them to sit.

When they arrived at the Lu family home, seeing that everyone else in the Lu family had arrived, Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Er's wife secretly observed the rest of the Lu family, wondering if they really had no grudges against Zhou Qiao for having a daughter, just as Zhou's father had said.

Unexpectedly, the first thing I saw upon entering was Li holding Zaozao and showing off to the village chief's wife, "My granddaughter, she really changes every day. Look at her fair and tender face, it's all thanks to me."

The village chief's wife chimed in, "Xiao Zaozao is so beautiful, how did it become your achievement?"

"If I hadn't been stewing chicken and cooking fish for Da Niu's wife every day during her postpartum period to help her produce milk, wouldn't she have been able to eat well and be full sooner? Don't you think it's all thanks to me?"

Aunt Zhou, who was standing nearby, chuckled to herself. "You still stew chicken and cook fish every day? You care so much about a little girl?"
