Chapter 297 You haven’t gotten married yet?
In the spring of the 25th year of Emperor Jing's reign, busy figures could be seen everywhere in the fields of Fu'an Village, and a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove in.
"Mother Qingshu? Miaomiao?" Aunt He was picking radishes and cabbages when she saw Aunt Qu, Qu Miaomiao, Chu Ang and their carriage coming.
"Mother Changqing, I, I..." Aunt Qu felt a little embarrassed when she saw Aunt He. Before the New Year, she said firmly that she would not come to live in the village. But it was only the third day of the first lunar month, and she came here with her things.
"Auntie He, Qingshu is going to the provincial capital to take the entrance exam soon, and I'm going on a long journey too. It's unlucky to leave our new house empty, so I went to great lengths to ask you and Miaomiao to help look after it for me!"
Chu Ang spoke in a particularly loud voice, saying that he had specially invited Aunt Qu and Qu Miaomiao to come to his house to look after the house, and he never mentioned the incident that almost happened to Qu Miaomiao in the county.
"It's time to look after the house. It's so new and nice, leaving it empty and deserted. It's unlucky." Aunt He said enthusiastically, looking back at the radishes she had already harvested, "I'm almost done harvesting them here, so I'll go back with you."
"Mother Qingshu, we will be neighbors from now on." Aunt He was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Because she was a widow with three children, they lived in a remote and single-family house in the village.
Now, Chu Ang built a house opposite to them, and they can get there by just shouting. Aunt He is still happy because Chu Ang works with Chang Qing.
Not to mention Aunt Qu and Qu Miaomiao, Aunt He likes them very much and feels comfortable getting along with them. If Qu Qingshu really passes the imperial examination and becomes a scholar in the future, she will also benefit from it.
"Aunt He, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of my aunt and sister Miaomiao from now on." Chu Ang said immediately. When they arrived at the Chu family's house, Chu Ang said, "Aunt, just leave one room for me. The remaining three rooms can be reserved for you, Qingshu, and Miaomiao, one each."
When the house was built, Chu Ang made special preparations, so four rooms were just right.
"No, Xiao Ang, this is your house. How can I let you live in the back room where there is no sunlight?" Aunt Qu looked at the rooms Chu Ang had reserved for them. The two sunny rooms were left to Qu Qingshu and Qu Miaomiao.
"Auntie, Qingshu needs sunshine to study. My sister Miaomiao is a girl, and I won't be home for long anyway. I'd be very grateful if you could help me guard the house and keep rats out and weeds out."
Chu Ang grinned, and his words made Aunt Qu's eyes red: "Xiao Ang, thank you."
"Auntie, if it weren't for you, I would have frozen to death." Chu Ang patted Qu Qingshu's things and said, "Qingshu, just rest assured and help me guard the house. Miss Xiao has something to deal with, so I'll be out first."
Chu Ang forcefully put their things into the rooms and then hurried out.
"Ouch."
As soon as Chu Ang arrived at the door of the Xiao family, he saw Lei Yan's carriage broke down in the middle of the road and almost fell. Chu Ang hurried forward to support him.
"Why does your carriage always break down? It needs to be repaired." Chu Ang said as he looked at the wheels of her carriage.
"Second sister, I told you not to come and pick me up in the future. What if the carriage breaks down in a deserted place?" Lei Yan looked at Lei Yan distressedly and said, "Second sister, I live in the academy and can learn more from the teacher."
"Lei Sanhuo, stop being such a pessimist. There's just a stone stuck in the wheel." Lei Yan took the stone out from between the wheels of the carriage. When she looked up, she saw Chu Ang. She cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Chu, you're the one who should fix it. What's that look in your eyes?"
When Lei Yan looked at Chu Ang, she thought of her father Lei. She pulled Lei Yan and said, "Let's go. When we get to the Xiao family, we should first pay New Year's greetings to the elders. Do you understand?"
"Second sister, I've told you hundreds of times, I get it." Lei Yan had just gone to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Jiang, and on the way to Xiao's house, Lei Yan had reminded him eight hundred times.
"You little bastard." Lei Yan looked at his back as he ran away, and swallowed the words of warning that he wanted to say.
"Jiayuan, I brought you firecrackers." As soon as Lei Yan entered the yard, he began to look for Xiao Jiayuan.
Lei Yan and Chu Ang walked into the Xiao family side by side. Lei Yan was carrying a lot of bags, which formed a sharp contrast with Chu Ang who was empty-handed. Her eyes were contemptuous, as if asking: You really don't know any manners.
"I, I came to see Miss Xiao for something." Chu Ang tried to straighten his back. He thought in his heart: He is doing things for Miss Xiao, and he is not like Lei Yan, who is here to make friends with Miss Xiao?
Thinking of this, Chu Ang became clearer about what he had to do. As long as he could safely deliver Miss Xiao's things to Lingnan, that would be enough!
"Miss Lei, what happened last time..." Chu Ang said awkwardly. Later he went to inquire about it and found out that Lei Yan's father was really a piece of shit!
As soon as Chu Ang opened his mouth, Lei Yan raised his hand and interrupted him: "Stop, if you want to be a good person in the future, you give him money and treat him as your son. It has nothing to do with me."
Chu Ang was about to speak when he saw Lei Yan walking quickly towards the yard with a smile on his face: "Miss Xiao, Happy New Year."
When Xiao Jiuyue saw Lei Yan and Chu Ang coming in together, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Happy New Year."
"I brought some new snacks from the candy shop for you to try." Lei Yan took the initiative to pass the snacks forward and got straight to the point. "The hair ornaments made by Miss Third and Miss He are selling extremely well. I was wondering if I could come back to you to get more."
"You can talk to Tingwu about this." Xiao Jiuyue directly asked Lianxin to lead Lei Yan in to find Xiao Tingwu.
Chu Ang stood on tiptoe, watching Lei Yan's disappearing figure and said, "It's really not easy to have a father like that."
"That's not what you said last time." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Chu Ang with a half-smile and said, "Chu Ang, you're not young anymore, and you're still not married?"
"Miss Xiao." Chu Ang jumped up from his stool in shock when he heard this. He said, "Miss Xiao, I want to ask, when are we going to Lingnan to deliver the goods? Although it is the first month of the year, our Bada Escort Agency has already started receiving orders."
When it comes to business, Chu Ang's serious look is different from his usual nonchalant attitude.
"I have asked people to pack up things these few days. There is still snow on the road and it is cold. I am afraid you will have to work hard." Xiao Jiuyue plans to send some rice seeds over this time. Who knows, maybe he can help Lingnan grow rice?
"It's not hard, Miss Xiao, don't worry. We will definitely deliver the things to Lingnan safely." Chu Ang patted his chest and promised. He said, "Miss Xiao, there's one more thing. Qingshu's sister Qu Miaomiao is very good at handicrafts. Can we let her help the third lady make hair flowers?"
After saying that, Chu Ang patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Miss Xiao, Qu Miaomiao will definitely do a good job."
