"The third son's wife is back..."

"My third sister-in-law is back!"

"Grandpa and Grandma, our third aunt is back!"

"My mom's back!"

Regardless of age or gender, everyone in the Huang family uses Lin Xue's name.

As for Huang Dehai, he seemed to have been forgotten until the family finished welcoming Lin Xue. Only then did Old Man Huang walk up to Huang Dehai and pat him on the shoulder.

"Third son!"

"You've brought honor to your father, to the Huang family, and to Huangjia Village!"

It should be noted that no official has ever emerged from Huangjia Village in this generation, making Huang Dehai a unique case.

"Father, I have fulfilled my mission!"

Men are straightforward. After exchanging those two sentences, the father and son walked into the courtyard and watched the women and children carrying things down one by one.

Before we knew it, evening had arrived, and inevitably, the dinner table was a little too lavish.

Grandma Huang slaughtered a large goose to welcome Lin Xue and her family.

Old Huang, along with his grandsons, went to the East River Ditch and caught several large fish.

Upon receiving the news, Huang Dequan immediately closed his shop and took his wife back to Huangjia Village.

Now, the entire Huang family is gathered at the Huang family dinner table.

As servants, Mo Bai's family of four were not allowed to eat with their masters. However, the Huang family was not the type to mistreat their servants, so they left them enough food to eat in the kitchen.

Although the Huang family was not used to the change at first, they thought that Huang Dehai was about to become an official, and that if they were still acting like a master and servant, they would only become a laughing stock.

Therefore, it's better to get used to it from the beginning, so as to avoid embarrassing Huang Dehai later.

"Father, Mother, there's still more than a month before my husband takes office. We need to hurry up and arrange things at home so we can get on the road as soon as possible!"

“Yuhai County is so poor right now that no one wants to take a position there, but I believe you can definitely govern that place well! Besides, my family has a history of officials. Although I don’t remember many things, I haven’t forgotten the knowledge I’ve learned!”

"I think I can still offer some help on how to manage water resources and develop agriculture!"

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, you don't need to worry too much. You'll suffer there!"

"Husband, you can say the rest!"

Lin Xue gave a general overview of the situation in Yuhai County, and then described their preparations.

This is meant to comfort Lao Huang's family.

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law, Second Brother and Sister-in-law!"

"Just as my wife said, the place where I'm being assigned this time is much poorer and more backward than other places!"

"So, if you're not planning to come with us for the time being, I have no objection!"

"Once we've laid a solid foundation there, we'll come back to pick up our family!"

"However, if my two brothers and sisters-in-law come with us now, they might have to endure some hardship!"

Huang Dehai spoke some things bluntly: don't think that becoming an official means you can be carefree and enjoy a life of luxury!

All wealth and status are created through one's own efforts.

Now Huang Dehai has his own stage, which is Yuhai County!

As for what kind of result he can create, that depends on his efforts.

Moreover, he had great faith in his wife's abilities, and he had witnessed some of her skills on the way to the capital.

Huang Dehai felt that his wife was like a magic treasure chest; you never knew what idea would flash into her mind the next second.

And no matter what happens, it seems nothing can faze her.

Even Huang Dehai, who has been well-versed in literature for over a decade, admires his knowledge and experience.

The Huang family discussed it until midnight, and in the end, it was the Huang couple, their two brothers, and their youngest children who all agreed.

Without exception, they all chose to go to Yuhai County with Huang Dehai.

According to Huang Dequan, if he doesn't help when his younger brother needs him, how can he expect to enjoy a comfortable life with his brother later?

If they are just ordinary farmers, then after the brothers get married and start their own families, their greatest wish is to separate and live independently.

However, families with officials in their household are unwilling to separate their assets.

This applies to both the elderly in the family and the brothers and sisters!

You see, if someone in your family is an official, even if they go to a poor place like Yuhai County, they won't suffer too much.

After the family finished discussing it, they made arrangements for the household.

Old Huang entrusted his property to his brothers in the village for care.

Instead of selling their 10 mu of land, the family entrusted it to their clan for safekeeping. With Huang Dehai, the county magistrate, the Huang family was exempt from taxes on their land. When Huang Dehai retired and returned to his hometown, the land and property would be returned to them.

As long as Old Huang's family doesn't return, these houses and fields can be temporarily managed by Old Huang's brothers. However, once Old Huang's family returns, these fields and houses will still belong to them, and no one will dare to embezzle them.

Yes, Old Huang's brother is still alive.

Old Huang had five brothers and two sisters who were already married, so we won't go into that.

And Old Man Huang was the fifth and youngest of the family!

Two of the Huang brothers are still alive today: Huang Youcai and Huang Youtian, and the other is Huang Yousheng.

Slaughter all the chickens and ducks at home and make them into smoked meat; you can take these with you on the road.

The weather is gradually getting cooler now, and it's almost August, so smoking the meat should preserve it for a while.

As for the cattle and horses at home, they will definitely be taken along, since their journey is quite long, and the more animals pulling the cart, the better.

It took the Huang family more than ten days to pack everything they needed to take.

Several new horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts were also commissioned to ensure that each horse could be assigned a carriage.

Preparing for rain and water protection along the way also needs to be done in advance. After all, Lin Xue and Huang Dehai have traveled long distances before and know that if these preparations are not done well, it will cause a lot of trouble on the road.

Two days before setting off, Grandma Huang suffered from severe dizziness, vomiting and diarrhea because she had never ridden in a horse-drawn carriage before.

Seeing that this wasn't a solution, Lin Xue had the team stop and rest for a day, and specially prepared motion sickness medicine for Grandma Huang, which helped her a bit.

When the group set off again, Grandma Huang no longer felt unwell.

At the same time, whenever anyone in the family feels unwell, they will take two pills and eat them.

Making motion sickness medicine into pills is also to make it easier for everyone to take, so that people don't have to rush to take it when they feel motion sickness.

The Huang family arrived in Linzhou Prefecture. Lin Xue said she would rest there for a day, while she went to find Liu Xiaoyu.

Sure enough, Dong Wu, the devoted fiancé, followed Liu Xiaoyu everywhere.
