Ye Mingzhu transmigrated to become a low-status pearl diver. She had no parents, only a young brother, and was without food, drink, or land.
Fortunately, the heavens granted her a golden fing...
Chapter 252 Want to go out
"Sister, whose letter is this?" Ye Yun'an looked at Ye Mingzhu holding two letters and asked curiously, "Is it from my uncle? I haven't heard from him for a long time."
Ye Mingzhu carefully looked at the address and smiled, "It's a letter from my uncle. The other one is from Zhuangzi."
"Let me see my uncle's letter." Ye Yun'an moved closer to Ye Mingzhu and wanted to see his uncle's letter.
Ye Mingzhu also wanted to know what was in the letter, so she walked to the corner and tore open the letter written by Wang Dahu.
"My uncle invited us to the capital city?" Ye Yun'an's face was full of joy. "I haven't been to the capital city yet."
Ye Mingzhu looked up at Jiang Hongyu. He understood what she meant. He had something to do and couldn't leave for too long.
"Let's go home first." Ye Mingzhu was no longer in the mood to buy things. She opened the letter written by Zhuangzi and read it. Well, it was also a letter that required going out.
Jiang Hongyu looked at the expression on Ye Mingzhu's face, which didn't seem to indicate anything bad, and asked, "Did something happen at the village?"
"Wu Yue wrote to me saying that the sweet potatoes on the farm are growing well and will probably be ripe in about half a month. She asked me to go over and take a look."
Jiang Hongyu calculated the time: "It's only been more than three months, and the sweet potatoes are about to mature. That's pretty fast."
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "Wu Yue said that his brother estimated that the sweet potatoes will be ripe in more than half a month. It's just that this is their first time planting them and they don't have much experience. He hopes that we can go over and keep an eye on them."
Jiang Hongyu saw that Ye Mingzhu wanted to go, and thought for a moment: "Since we have almost bought everything, why don't we go home first."
"Yes, let's go home. I want to read my uncle's letter again." Ye Yun'an, who always loved to go out, had a look of admiration on his face. He wanted to read what his uncle said in the letter again.
Ye Mingzhu no longer had the mood to go shopping, so the three of them walked home together.
Aunt Jiang was a little surprised when she saw the three of them coming back: "Why are you back so early?"
Jiang Hongyu smiled and said, "We received a letter from Uncle Mingzhu, so we came back to take a look."
Aunt Jiang noticed that someone's expressions were not right, so she didn't ask any more questions. She smiled and said she would go out to help Jiang Hongyu pack his things.
Ye Yun'an asked Ye Mingzhu to take out the letter and read it again.
"Sister, my uncle bought a big house and wants us to go over and see it." Ye Yun'an read out the contents of the letter.
Wang Dahu took out all the money he had and bought a two-story house in the capital city. He left rooms for the brother and sister, hoping that they would stay there for a few days, preferably until the New Year.
Ye Yun'an's eyes were full of excitement, he wanted to go to the provincial capital.
"Mingzhu, if you want to go, go ahead. Otherwise, I'll ask Uncle Yan to take you there."
Jiang Hongyu saw that Ye Mingzhu was also a little moved, so he took the initiative to speak.
Ye Mingzhu hesitated: "Let's think about it again. We can't leave you alone."
"Even if you stay, I can't go home." Jiang Hongyu's expression was filled with helplessness.
Ye Mingzhu knew that what he said made sense. She thought about it for a moment, did not express any opinion, and took out the other letter to read it.
She stroked the envelopes. Both letters invited her out, and it would be bad if she didn't go to either one.
The sweet potatoes on Zhuangzi were discovered by her and then planted by someone else. She really wanted to know what the yield of sweet potatoes was like in ancient times.
If the yield is high, it can be promoted and at least the people in the entire county can have enough to eat.
Yu Jiaming treated her well, and this was a real political achievement, so she could just give it to him directly, as a way of repaying him for helping her solve the Yu issue some time ago.
But her uncle treated her even better. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. When her uncle bought a new house, he even reserved a room for them. It seemed unreasonable for them not to go and see it.
But they all left, leaving Jiang Hongyu alone here, feeling a little lonely.
I also want to ask Aunt Jiang if she is willing to go to the provincial capital with them?
Ye Mingzhu didn't say anything, and Ye Yun'an also became quiet.
Aunt Jiang came in and saw the worried looks on their faces. She asked, "What happened? You were so happy just now?"
Jiang Hongyu sighed helplessly: "Zhuang Zishang and Uncle Mingzhu both want Mingzhu to go with them for something, but she's worried that I'll be left here alone, so she doesn't want to go."
Aunt Jiang didn't expect this to be the reason. She glanced at the envelope and said, "I'm at home, so you can go without worry. Your uncle treats you well, so you should go see him."
Ye Mingzhu knew Jiang Hongyu was speaking well of her, so she simply told him the contents of the two letters: "Mom, the sweet potatoes on my farm are almost ripe. This is their first year planting them, and they are a little worried. The head of the farm wants me to go and look after them."
"As for my uncle, he bought a house in the capital and left a room for my sister and me. He wanted us to stay there for a few days."
"Your uncle loves his son so much, you should go." Aunt Jiang made the decision for them: "If you are worried, I will go back to the village."
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "Mom, if you go back to the village, you might as well go to the farm. At least you have Aunt Mo to accompany you."
Aunt Jiang's eyes lit up: "Yes, I'll go to the farm and keep Xia Zhi company. I can also help them at the snack shop."
Ye Mingzhu just said it casually, but she didn't expect Aunt Jiang to agree immediately.
"Mom has agreed, so what do you have to worry about?" Jiang Hongyu quietly held Ye Mingzhu's hand under the table.
Ye Mingzhu's face flushed slightly. She used her strength to break free. When Aunt Jiang wasn't paying attention, she glared at him and said, "Then let's send Mother to the farm first. When the sweet potatoes are ripe, we'll go to the provincial capital and come back before the New Year."
"This is too hard. You can only stay in the provincial capital for half a month at most. Otherwise, you can stay here until the New Year and then come back." Jiang Hongyu's mouth curled up, and he felt a little distressed.
Aunt Jiang was also a little hesitant: "It takes about half a month to get from here to the capital. It's a bit too tiring for you to only stay for half a month after such a long journey."
Ye Mingzhu no longer hesitated: "This is our first year after getting married, we must have a reunion year."
Aunt Jiang agreed with this point of view. Over the years, there were only her and Jiang Hongyu at home. Even if a large table of food was prepared, there was no New Year atmosphere.
Now that there are more people in the family, Aunt Jiang is looking forward to a lively reunion year.
Jiang Hongyu looked at the expressions of the crowd and said, "Then I'll go ask Uncle Yan to take you to the farm first, and then to the city."
"I'm thinking of taking a boat from the county town to the provincial capital, which is faster." Ye Mingzhu called Jiang Hongyu.
It takes more than half a month to reach the provincial capital by carriage. Ye Mingzhu felt pain in her butt just thinking about the bumpy ride on the road every day.
"If we take a boat, I'm afraid the time is hard to determine, and we have to go to the county government office to find an official boat." Jiang Hongyu naturally knew that taking a boat was better, but now it was winter, and official boats were hard to find, so he could only ask when he got to the county town.
