Chapter 201 Visiting Uncle Yan

Ye Mingzhu also felt a little tired, the backpack on her shoulders felt heavy, and it seemed that time was almost up.

"Let's go find Brother Yu."

Ruan Linlin nodded eagerly. She was really scared of eating snacks and probably wouldn't want to eat them for a long time.

The two men, each carrying a large backpack, walked into the county government office and were stopped by the gatekeeper.

"What are you doing here?"

Ye Mingzhu was a little hesitant for a moment, not knowing who to look for. In the entire county government, she only knew Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu. Xiaowu was still in Yuanshan Village. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if she said she was looking for Yu Jiaming?

The concierge frowned: "Don't you know who you're looking for?"

Ye Mingzhu gritted her teeth and was about to say Yu Jiaming's name when Jiang Hongyu and Uncle Yan walked out.

Uncle Yan had a smile on his face, which surprised Ye Mingzhu.

"Mingzhu is here. Thank you for the snacks you brought me. They taste great." Uncle Yan greeted Ye Mingzhu with a smile, like a kind and handsome middle-aged uncle.

Jiang Hongyu also laughed and said, "Yes, luckily I got a few pieces for Uncle Yan in advance, the others were all taken away."

"I'll find someone to deliver it to Uncle Yan tomorrow," Ye Mingzhu had an idea in mind: "Uncle Yan, we are planning to open a shop over there. When you want to eat it, just tell me and I'll have someone deliver it to you."

"You kid," Uncle Yan shook his head, "I estimate I'll be back in half a month. How can I stay in the county government office forever?"

Jiang Hongyu noticed that Ye Mingzhu and Ruan Linlin were each carrying a large backpack, which looked quite heavy.

He reached out and took it. "What did you buy? Leave it here at the concierge first. Let's find a restaurant and talk while we eat."

Ye Mingzhu let Jiang Hongyu's strength take her down and immediately felt relieved. "This is the snack I bought. I'll take it back and let everyone try it."

Jiang Hongyu could already smell the sweetness inside the basket when he took it. Combined with the weight, he couldn't help but look at the basket on Ruan Linlin's shoulder: "Are these all snacks?"

Ye Mingzhu nodded and helped Ruan Linlin put down the basket on her shoulders. "Yes, these are snacks. I plan to buy some back and let everyone taste them. I will try to make better snacks than these."

Jiang Hongyu said cryptically, "After everyone finishes eating so many snacks, they probably won't want to eat snacks for a long time."

Ruan Linlin said in her heart: "No need to estimate, I don't want to eat snacks now."

Ye Mingzhu chuckled twice. She was so happy when buying that she forgot the quantity.

Jiang Hongyu shook his head, and he and Uncle Yan each carried a backpack and put it in the gatehouse.

Uncle Yan hadn't seen Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu for many days, so he took them to a restaurant that looked very quaint and rushed to treat them to dinner.

"This restaurant looks a bit old from the outside, but the food is delicious."

Seeing the few people, the waiter immediately welcomed them to the private room and asked Uncle Yan, "Today we have the roast duck you had last time. Would you like one?"

"Okay, and pair it with five or six of your specialties." Uncle Yan seemed to be particularly familiar with the waiter and asked him to serve the dishes himself.

The waiter went downstairs with a smile on his face.

Ye Mingzhu asked, "Uncle Yan, have you been eating here often recently?"

"Not often." Uncle Yan took a sip of the tea the waiter had just poured out before saying, "Just a few times with Jiaming."

No wonder, anyone who can dine with the county magistrate must be no ordinary person.

These restaurants all have backstage support, and the waiters they employ are all sharp-eyed and intelligent people, so they must have guessed it long ago.

Although Yu Jiaming is the county magistrate, he still uses this name when he goes out, so people can't guess who he is at first glance.

Ruan Linlin was not familiar with Uncle Yan, and she just stared at the dish in front of her the whole time, as if she had no ears.

Uncle Yan and the others didn't say anything at the dinner table. Uncle Yan asked about the situation at home. Jiang Hongyu's face froze for a moment. Ye Mingzhu immediately said that everything was fine, including the smooth pearl hunting in the village.

Uncle Yan didn't ask any more questions and just urged the two of them to eat.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests. During the meal, Ye Mingzhu found an excuse to go out and ask about the price. Knowing that the food here was not very expensive, she did not pay the bill.

Uncle Yan was very happy when he paid the bill: "Next time I will take you to another restaurant and ask Yun An to come along."

Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "In a few days, I'll pick up Mother and Yun'an, and our whole family will go to the county town for a stroll."

A few people sent Uncle Yan back to the county government office and went to pick up some things.

Jiang Hongyu looked a little depressed, and Ye Mingzhu wondered if something had happened.

When they arrived at the county government office, Uncle Yan patted Jiang Hongyu on the shoulder and said, "You can go back first. I'll be watching over you here. Don't worry."

Ye Mingzhu blinked and looked at Jiang Hongyu: "Do you want to stay in the county?"

There were other people present, but Jiang Hongyu didn't make it too obvious. He just said, "I want to wait here for news."

Ye Mingzhu guessed that there was news about the wet nurse, and this had almost become a knot in Jiang Hongyu's heart.

"Brother Yu, why don't you stay? Sister Linlin and I will go back first. We'll just take the car from the manor, so it's okay."

Uncle Yan also knew what Jiang Hongyu was thinking, so he didn't say anything more and just let him make his own decision.

Jiang Hongyu struggled for a moment, then looked at Ye Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, I want to wait for news here."

Ye Mingzhu understood his desire to know the news about the wet nurse immediately and nodded, "Then you stay with Uncle Yan. We'll go back first. If there's anything, you can ask someone to send a message to the farm."

"Then Mingzhu, when you come next time, just say you're looking for me. The doorman knows." Uncle Yan knew that Jiang Hongyu had made up his mind, so he simply looked at Jiang Hongyu.

Jiang Hongyu made the decision and felt much more relaxed. He sent Ye Mingzhu and Ruan Linlin to the ox cart in the village before leaving.

When Ye Mingzhu and the others returned to the farm, the women who came to help had not yet left. She gave all the snacks to Wu Yue and asked her to pick out the snacks, cut them into small pieces, let everyone taste them, pick out the best ones and put them together, and then let Aunt Mo taste them.

Ruan Linlin knew the snacks they bought best, so she stayed with Wu Yue to do this, while she went to the kitchen to find Aunt Mo.

In the kitchen, Aunt Mo was still busy, with beads of sweat on her head.

Ye Mingzhu waited until she finished the work at hand before going in.

"Auntie Mo, Sister Linlin and I bought a lot of snacks. Would you like to try some?"

When Aunt Mo heard Ye Mingzhu's words, she shuddered almost reflexively, then shook her head: "No need."

"You go and eat some. In order to get these snacks back, Sister Linlin and I have broken our waists. Alas, why did Brother Yu stay in the county government office?" Ye Mingzhu almost murmured the last sentence.

Madam Mo immediately looked up, a trace of panic on her face: "Yu, what happened to the young master? Why is he staying in the county government office?"
