Chapter 427 Return to Shengjing
Xu Yang and his men shuttled through the fields of Fu'an Village every day, taking notes in a small notebook from time to time, for fear that no one would ask when they returned.
Xu Yang brought all the people in the village who had good memory and knew how to farm. With more people, they could remember more.
As soon as the boss heard that Manager Jin was going to build a workshop, he brought his men to volunteer to help Manager Jin build the workshop and find raw materials. All the brothers he brought with him became Manager Jin's hard laborers, and they didn't ask for any pay.
Shopkeeper Jin initially wanted to pay him, but the head boss waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Jin, we are all working for Miss Xiao. How can I take money from you? Miss Xiao is our benefactor!"
Without Miss Xiao, how could the people of Jiutou Village have such a stable life now, where everyone can fill their stomachs without risking their lives?
"Miss, what do you think, can the boss and the shopkeeper Jin succeed?" Luo Kui asked curiously.
"Whether it will succeed or not, I have to ask them." Xiao Jiuyue smiled and didn't say much. She had too many things to do now. After leaving here, she still needed to take care of the salt well and the candy shop.
She was relieved to have Jun Lie's people in Yanjing. As for the candy shop, she and Tang Tian would communicate every month. When Tang Tian returned to the county town, he would come to see her first. I heard that Tang Tian had met her lover recently.
"Jin Wu, how is Xue Lingxiao doing?" Last winter, when Xue Lingxiao sent his secret guards to kill him, Xiao Jiuyue didn't hesitate and directly arranged people to press Xue Lingxiao into the mud!
"Don't worry, Miss. Xue Lingxiao has already started to close in. Soon, he won't be able to jump around anymore." Jin Wu responded.
"Yeah, okay." After Xiao Jiuyue asked about the progress, he put it out of his mind.
In early February, Chu Ang and He Changqing were still transporting things to Lingnan. Even though the Xiao family was no longer in Lingnan, everything had been arranged in Lingnan. MSG powder, canned lychees, and canned longans all needed to be shipped back from Lingnan!
After marrying Lei Yan, Chu Ang really tricked Lei's father and mother into coming to Lingnan.
When Xiao Jiuyue heard the news, he was completely stunned. Exile to Lingnan was a terrible thing in Shengjing, but he didn't expect that there would be people like Lei's father and mother who took the initiative to exile to Lingnan.
The climate over there is very different from that in Hongdu. I'm afraid we'll suffer a lot when the time comes!
Lei Yan and his sister Lei Yan were relieved. Lei Yan still ran the grocery store, and Lei Yan went to school at Fu'an Academy with peace of mind.
In mid-February, Xiao Jiuyue received a letter from the Xiao family in Lingnan. The letter said that Xiao Fu and others were in a hurry to return to Shengjing, and were taken directly to Shengjing by the emperor's men. When the time comes, they will meet up in Shengjing.
When seeing the letter, Xiao Jiuyue frowned. Grandfather and father are both old. Can they withstand such a long journey?
The emperor is too anxious.
Although Xiao Jiuyue was muttering to herself, she still immediately called a meeting of the entire Xiao family.
"Go back to Shengjing!" Aunt Xiao and the others were all excited. They had been waiting for the men of the Xiao family. Now that they heard that they had already rushed to Shengjing, they were naturally very much looking forward to it.
"Our Hongdu is relatively close to Shengjing. Besides, it's getting warmer, so it's more suitable to hurry on the journey." Xiao Jiuyue didn't dare to hurry on the journey, as her grandmother was weak and couldn't stand the hardship.
"Grandma, you and Grandpa..." Xiao Jiuyue had just opened her mouth when Old Madam Xiao said, "Yuer, I want to go back to Shengjing. I've lived in Shengjing my whole life. Why would I leave if I had no other choice?"
The news that the Xiao family was going back to Shengjing gradually spread in Fu'an Village.
Aunt He was the first to know the news. He Yulian and Qu Miaomiao were with Xiao Tingwu every day. Aunt He immediately found Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Miss Xiao, I heard that you are going back to Shengjing? Congratulations!"
"Thank you." Xiao Jiuyue nodded with a smile, and while packing up, she said goodbye to Fu'an Village for the last time.
Next, it was Shi Lizheng and others. Everyone couldn't accept it at first, but later on, they gradually felt reluctant to let it go. No one said anything nice, but just silently stuffed the good things in their homes to the Xiao family.
Wild rabbits, pheasants and the like hunted in the mountains can be eaten after being dried.
Mushrooms picked from the mountains, dried bamboo shoots, sour bamboo shoots...
The Xiao family started accepting gifts.
Xiao Jiuyue took her piano and went to the pavilion on the top of the mountain. As long as the weather was good, Xiao Jiuyue would go to play the piano. This time she went there again on purpose, thinking that there might not be many opportunities in the future.
The sound of the piano was gentle and melodious. Xiao Jiuyue played one song after another. Perhaps even the clouds in the sky knew that they were about to say goodbye. They floated on the hillside, forming a beautiful picture that will be remembered forever.
End of February.
The Xiao family started to set off for Shengjing. On the day of departure, at dawn, all the people in Fu'an Village came to see them off.
Old Madam Xiao has some familiar old ladies, including Mrs. Su, the second and third wives, all of whom are familiar people.
Xiao Jiuyue's gaze fell on Lianxin. Ai Qiushi was still making new tools at the salt well and could not leave Hongdu for the time being.
At that time, Xiao Jiuyue asked Lianxin whether to stay in Hongdu or return to Shengjing.
Lian Xin returned to Shengjing without hesitation: "Miss, I have always been by your side. If I change someone else, I am afraid they will not be as accustomed to it as I am."
Lianxin and Ai Qiushi agreed to get married three years later!
Ai Qiushi's body is now getting stronger and stronger, just like his name. Ai Qiushi is now more confident in showing his skills.
The Xiao family, with their entire family, couldn't travel fast. It was just right for Xu Yang and his team to return to Jiutouzhai while escorting the Xiao family back to Shengjing!
Unlike when they left Shengjing, the Xiao family was confused about the future at that time, but now they are full of expectations.
"Sister, will I be able to see daddy and elder brother soon? They will definitely be surprised to see me!" Xiao Jiayuan was like an eggplant hit by frost in the first few days. He left his familiar classmates and Mr. Qu and Mr. Shi.
But soon, Xiao Jiayuan began to look forward to it, saying, "I'm almost as tall as my sister now. If I grow any taller, I'll definitely be taller!"
"You have to grow stronger, otherwise, Dad will think I'm not giving you food." Xiao Jiuyue said jokingly. Even though Xiao Jiayuan has grown up, he is still like a child in front of Xiao Jiuyue.
"Sister, you didn't let me eat in the first place!" Xiao Jiayuan pouted.
Xiao Jiuyue glanced at him sideways and said, "If I didn't stop you from eating candy, do you think you would still have the teeth you have now?"
It's not like the later generations where you can fill your teeth. If a tooth falls out, it's gone forever. She reminded him, "If the inner teeth fall out, they're gone. But if all the front teeth fall out, how can you face people then?"
"Sister 1" Xiao Jiayuan counted his teeth with his tongue. One of his inner teeth had already fallen out due to tooth decay. If the front teeth fell out...
Xiao Jiayuan shook his head repeatedly as he thought about this scene. It was too disturbing for him. He changed the subject and said, "Hey, there's an old man on the side of the road! He seems to have fainted?"
