Chapter 243 Miss Xiao makes a lot of money
Madam Xiao and Madam Su exchanged a glance, then looked at Xiao Jiuyue together and said, "Yuer, I'm so happy that you think this way!"
She had been particularly worried that Xiao Jiuyue would become arrogant for such a small achievement, but now it seems that her worry was unnecessary.
"Yuer, you are doing very well now. It would be great if you can still produce 600 kilograms of grain next year!" Mrs. Su didn't want her daughter to be so tired.
"Mom, you still have to have dreams. What if they come true?" Xiao Jiuyue took the bird's nest and ate it with big mouthfuls. "Oh, right, Shi Lizheng came to ask me today what name we want for the school!"
"We are in Fu'an Village, so we call it Fu'an Academy." Old Madam Xiao said without hesitation: "Establishing a school is a good thing for the village, but it is also a good thing for Jia Yuan and the others!"
"Grandma, we are really in sync. I think so too!" When Xiao Jiuyue heard Shi Lizheng coming to ask, the first reaction in his mind was that the school built in Fu'an Village should be called Fu'an Academy, right?
"Girl, is this how you use telepathy?" Old Madam Xiao couldn't help but smile as she listened to her words. "The autumn harvest will be busy for a while. When are you planning to have something delivered to Lingnan?"
"Early September." Xiao Jiuyue expressed her thoughts. "It would be perfect for them to arrive in Lingnan in early September and return in early November."
"I went to the county clinic today and bought some medicinal herbs. I'll make some more ointments and hemostatic powders, as well as medicine to repel mosquitoes, rats and ants. I need to prepare more and send them over when the time comes."
Xiao Jiuyue discovered that since Chu Ang and He Changqing started delivering things to Lingnan, she no longer purchased things as little as before.
"I made cotton-padded jackets, shoes and socks for your father and eldest brother. I'll send them over when the time comes." Su immediately said, "I don't know what happened to the cotton-padded jackets from last year. How about making two more mattresses?"
Whenever Su thought of Lingnan, he became worried.
"Mom, if we really need more, Dad and the others will buy it themselves." Xiao Jiuyue said with a smile, "This time, the canned longan and lychees have allowed many people to enjoy something they've never tasted before. My eldest brother said in the letter that they bought tens of thousands of kilograms of lychees and longans. With such a large quantity, we can make a lot of canned goods!"
Xiao Jiuyue knew what they were worried about. She smiled and said, "With the money we sent them earlier, they have no shortage of money in Lingnan!"
Su's eyes were red, and Madam Xiao said, "That's enough. It's good enough for Xiao Fu and his family to have enough money to spend in Lingnan, to have enough food and clothes, and to have medicine when they are sick."
Many of the exiled people either died on the road or were crushed by the hard life in the exile area. How could they be like the Xiao family, who had food and drink and didn't have to worry about not having enough clothes to wear?
"Mom, I know, I just can't help it." Su choked with sobs, her red eyes looked like a rabbit, making people feel pity for her.
"Yuer, thank you for your hard work in delivering food and medicinal herbs." Old Madam Xiao simply stopped looking at Su. She really didn't know how her son Xiao Fu could stand Su's frail appearance when he looked at such a cold and serious son.
"Grandma, what you said is too polite. Mother, you see, grandma treats me as an outsider." Xiao Jiuyue covered his chest with his hands, looking uncomfortable, and looked pitifully at his beautiful mother with red eyes.
Su's eyes, which had just been filled with tears, suddenly smiled and said, "Yuer, grandma loves you so much that she doesn't treat you as an outsider."
After leaving his grandmother's yard, Xiao Jiuyue felt filled with happiness. In his ears, he seemed to still hear his grandmother's voice: Don't worry and do it boldly, grandma is here!
Xiao Jiuyue looked up. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky with sunset glows. As she walked out of the yard, she saw Chu Ang coming. He trotted to Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Miss Xiao, I have safely delivered the canned food to the capital."
"Well, have you discussed the matter of running the escort agency?" Xiao Jiuyue was walking along the road. Chu Ang lagged behind and followed in front of Xiao Jiuyue. Although he was taller than Xiao Jiuyue, he bent his body slightly, and his eyes were full of respect when he looked at Xiao Jiuyue.
Chu Ang said firmly: "I want to run an escort agency, mainly delivering goods for Miss Xiao, and also helping others deliver small things."
"Okay, where is He Changqing?" Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyes and looked into the distance. From the halfway point of the mountain, she could see people busy in the fields. Since He Changqing came back from Lingnan, he had been busy in the fields with the autumn harvest from morning till night without stopping.
Even on the afternoon of the first day back, he went to work in the fields. Xiao Jiuyue really felt that He Changqing was like an ox that could never be tired. After returning from Lingnan, he had no time to sleep because of the autumn harvest. After returning, he did not rest and kept working!
"I went to find He Changqing. I'm sure He Changqing has no problem. He just wants to find a job for those brothers." Chu Ang grinned, revealing a row of neat teeth.
"After you discuss this with He Changqing, come back to me." Xiao Jiuyue said, and Chu Ang responded, "Don't worry, Miss Xiao, we will definitely do a good job!"
Chu Ang patted his chest and promised, then turned around and went to find He Changqing impatiently.
In the fields.
Chu Ang saw He Changqing harvesting rice in the fields. He rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to help. "Changqing, how about we set up our own escort agency?"
"Ah?" He Changqing looked up blankly. The movements of his hands seemed to be integrated into his body as he cut the rice one by one.
"Let's set up an escort agency. This way, we can make more money when we go to Lingnan." Chu Ang simply snatched the sickle from He Changqing's hand and took the initiative to cut the rice. He said, "We are sending more and more things now. If we don't have an escort agency, or a caravan of our own, I'm afraid it would be a bit inappropriate."
"Will Miss Xiao agree?" He Changqing asked.
Chu Ang put the harvested rice into his hands, rolled his eyes at him, and said, "That was Miss Xiao's idea. We'll recruit more escorts when the time comes. It will be more convenient when we pass the customs!"
"Originally, Miss Xiao wanted to ask you, but aren't you harvesting here every day?" Chu Ang took the initiative to explain. He whispered, "Miss Xiao is generous. We just need to work hard for her. When she makes money, we can also make a little money. Isn't that great?"
"And your gang of brothers, take Huang Lao San for example. His parents run a small noodle stall, and it's hard for the three of them to find wives. If he doesn't make more money, how will he support his wife and children?"
Chu Ang was afraid that He Changqing would not agree, so he tried to persuade him while cutting rice.
"Stop." He Changqing listened to Chu Ang's dry mouth and said, "I want to run an escort agency, not only do I want to run it, I want to make it the best escort agency in Lancang!"
He Changqing had been on two trips with Chu Ang and knew a lot about the escort agency. He was very tempted after learning about it. Although the journey was long and full of dangers, the money he earned was more than what he could earn by doing short-term work or long-term work for others in a year or two!
