Chapter 227 Apricot Jam
Su Xueyi also understood this principle.
He was not worried about academic matters, but studying in the provincial school would allow him to meet some classmates.
The friendship between classmates is like a network of contacts, which will be beneficial to his future career as an official.
He himself may not care, but he wants to protect Yao Niang and the others in the future.
So he would be more cautious when considering some things.
After thinking carefully, Su Xueyi whispered, "Okay."
Seeing that Su Xueyi agreed to go to the government school, Shen Yueyao was reluctant to let her go.
Thinking that Su Xueyi had gone to the provincial school to study and she wouldn't be able to see her for a long time, Shen Yueyao's heart sank.
Su Xueyi hadn't even gone to the school yet, but she could already feel that she would miss him.
Unconsciously, she had become accustomed to having Su Xueyi around, and deep down she became somewhat dependent on him.
But Shen Yueyao understood that she couldn't show this emotion.
We cannot let her emotions affect Su Xueyi’s studies and exams.
The two of them discussed it and decided to set off in the afternoon since they had decided to go to the provincial school.
Because Su Xueyi packed up her things quickly.
Just pack the boxes.
It just so happened that Du Song and his friends came back after a two-day break, so Su Xueyi could just follow their carriage to the provincial school in the afternoon.
At noon, Shen Yueyao didn't bother to eat lunch and was busy helping Su Xueyi pack up.
"These are spare clothes. This is a summer mat and quilt. This is mosquito repellent cream. Apply it to exposed skin and you won't get bit by mosquitoes. This is a spray. Spray it by the bed before you sleep and you won't get mosquitoes either. This is a sachet. The smell of this can also repel mosquitoes..."
"Here are some medicines, including cold medicine, headache medicine, etc..."
These are the things that Shen Yueyao usually prepares at home, and she just needs to pack them for Su Xueyi.
Su Xueyi looked at Yao Niang who was busy for him, and her heart softened.
He reached out and hugged Shen Yueyao, then closed the door tightly.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Yueyao was slightly stunned when she was suddenly hugged by Su Xueyi.
Su Xueyi hugged Shen Yueyao tightly, without saying anything, but when she looked down at her, her eyes became deeper and deeper.
His eyes were filled with devouring power, as if he wanted to swallow Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao was familiar with this kind of look, and her heart began to beat violently.
Su Xueyi grabbed Shen Yueyao's head and lowered her lips when she lowered her head.
His kiss was gentle at first, but gradually became overbearing, devouring Shen Yueyao's breath and vitality.
"Well, it's noon..."
Shen Yueyao's voice became soft at this time.
My body also became limp.
Although she wanted to, she would be embarrassed if her mother and the others found out.
Su Xueyi seemed to know what Shen Yueyao was worried about. He whispered, "Mom and the others had lunch and took Dabao and Erbao to the front yard to rest. Don't worry."
“You…” Shen Yueyao’s face turned red.
"Yao Niang, be good~"
At this moment, Su Xueyi was holding Shen Yueyao, and his whole body was filled with a domineering aura, which was completely different from his usual gentle and gentle self.
Shen Yueyao was swept by Su Xueyi's domineering aura and couldn't even breathe.
When her mind was blank, Su Xueyi was the one who gave her breathing.
Shen Yueyao's legs were weak and she couldn't stand at all.
Su Xueyi held her and put her on the bed. The aura on his body trapped Shen Yueyao like a net.
Shen Yueyao was led by Su Xueyi in rhythm, her whole body was trembling, her little face was flushed, her whole body was pink, and she was covered in sweat.
"Snowcoat~"
"Be good, I'm here, call me husband."
"Husband~" Shen Yueyao's voice was breathless.
Her face was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out.
Su Xueyi leaned over and looked at her, and used her hot hands to push the hair away from her face, gazing at her deeply with her picturesque eyes.
Shen Yueyao's breath was soft and gentle on Su Xueyi's neck.
She gently hit Su Xueyi with her hand, unable to bear his domineering attitude.
Su Xueyi reached out and gently grasped Shen Yueyao's hand, placed it on her lips and kissed it, saying hoarsely, "Yao Niang, be good, I will miss you."
Even though she hasn't gone to the government school yet, Su Xueyi still misses Shen Yueyao.
I can't help but want to express my care and possessiveness in this way.
Shen Yueyao tried her best to endure it, her body trembled violently and her face turned red.
Time passed little by little, and later Shen Yueyao couldn't stand it anymore and kept calling his name.
She didn't expect Su Xueyi to be so domineering.
There were physiological tears in her eyes, but they were kissed away by Su Xueyi.
At this moment, she was very emotional.
Our hearts are tightly pressed together.
There was a deep darkness in Su Xueyi's eyes.
"Yao Niang, remember to visit me at the prefectural school. If there is anything happening at home, remember to write to me."
"Yeah, okay." Shen Yueyao's brain was about to explode, and she could only respond to Su Xueyi in a daze.
"And don't be too tired, take good care of yourself..."
"Yeah, I know, you take care of yourself too."
"Remember to think of me."
"good."
His little wife is as soft as water and as delicate as a flower.
After a long time, Su Xueyi let go of Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao lay there, catching her breath.
She looked at Su Xueyi, who had become gentle and elegant again, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that such a poetic and picturesque person once looked abstinent and cold, like an immortal who was not affected by the world.
But only she knew how domineering Su Xueyi could be at certain times.
"Look at you, I have no strength left now."
Shen Yueyao couldn't help but blame Su Xueyi.
Su Xueyi gently touched her hair and said, "I have been very restrained."
Shen Yueyao opened her eyes wide.
“You…you…”
"Okay, just be a good boy at home, okay?"
Shen Yueyao pouted, and Su Xueyi treated her like a little girl and coaxed her.
But no matter what she said just now, he was so domineering that he didn't listen.
However, thinking that Su Xueyi was going to study at the provincial school, Shen Yueyao was reluctant to get angry with him.
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry about things at home."
Su Xueyi boiled the water, held Shen Yueyao in her arms, cleaned her, and put her back in her place.
"You should take a good rest."
Shen Yueyao said: "I originally wanted to send you to the prefectural school."
"No need. I'll just take the carriage that Lin Ce and the others rented to go to the prefectural school. If you go, I won't be willing to let you go back."
What Su Xueyi said was also true.
Shen Yueyao stopped being so hypocritical with Su Xueyi and only promised him that she would visit him at the government school when she had time.
When Su Xueyi left with her things, Shen Yueyao was still a little dazed.
She felt that she was starting to miss Su Xueyi.
Two people who have been together for a long time will naturally get used to each other.
Although Su Xueyi was only going to the provincial school to study and would be back soon, Shen Yueyao still couldn't help but miss him.
I even thought about moving next to the provincial school to be with him.
But there are still many things at home that she needs to worry about.
Moreover, Su Xueyi also needs quiet study. After the autumn examination, he can go home.
If they go to the capital to study again, Shen Yueyao can also accompany Su Xueyi to the capital.
Shen Yueyao quickly adjusted her mood and got up to get busy.
If you are so busy and fulfilled, you won’t think about anything else.
Shen Yueyao checked the popsicles and milk tea in the space, packed up some things, and first talked to Madam Meng about buying land.
Madam Meng naturally supported what Shen Yueyao wanted to do.
Madam Meng said, "I'll go talk to the head of the village and have the land measured first."
Measure the land, buy several hundred acres of land, and then go to the government office to handle the matter, and the land will be purchased.
Shen Yueyao had to go to Xinghua Village in the afternoon anyway, so she simply took Dabao and Erbao with her.
When passing by the town, I took the opportunity to handle the land purchase matter at the government office.
Because of her relationship with Wu Fei, the government office handled things for her very quickly.
Holding the land purchase documents, Shen Yueyao took Dabao and Erbao to Xinghua Village.
Because they wasted some time, it was already late when they arrived at Xinghua Village.
If it was early spring, and Shen Yueyao came to Xinghua Village so late, every household would have closed their doors and prepared to rest.
But it was summer, and after eating, the villagers would take their stools and sit in the street to enjoy the cool air.
While everyone was enjoying the cool breeze, they couldn't help but discuss the recent changes in Xinghua Village.
"Now our Xinghua Village is much more lively than before."
"This is all thanks to the vermicelli workshop opened by the Shen family. Not only local merchants but also merchants from other places come to buy vermicelli."
“I heard that orders are now scheduled for a month later, and there are not enough fans to sell.”
"That's because vermicelli is delicious. Now several restaurants in town have added vermicelli soup. Even in our village, we can buy vermicelli and cook it. We just cook it the same way as noodles, but it tastes different from noodles and is delicious."
"It's cheap to buy vermicelli in our village, but people outside can't buy vermicelli as cheaply as we can."
"That's because the Shen family is kind and takes care of our villagers."
"Of course the Shen family is kind. Now Boss Shen and his wife Dong no longer dare to cause trouble at the Shen family."
"How dare they make trouble? Look at the life Liu Shaolei and that Zou have led. It's no use regretting it now. The Shen family's workshop is hiring workers, and Zou still wants to work there, but they don't need them at all."
"They see that the Shen family is doing well now and want to take advantage of it. How can they be so shameless?"
"But now Cui family won't tolerate their bad habits at all. They already have the third, fourth and Yueyao children, so why should they care about them?"
"Liu Shaolei and Zou Shi have been stabbed in the back, and they still have the nerve to stay in Xinghua Village."
"They are just like that. If they go to other villages, they won't accept them."
"Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about the Shen family's vermicelli workshop. The wages and bonuses are not bad. I heard that the management method is the same as that of the workshop in Liuhe Village."
"This Shen girl is really capable. When she was at her mother's house before, no one could see that she had such ability."
"Our village only employs a dozen people to work in the workshop, and we don't know when they will hire more people. My two daughters-in-law are eager to work and earn more money."
"The Shen family said that the workshop will take its time. Once business is good, they will hire more people later. Don't worry."
"Now the third son of the Shen family and his wife don't have to go to town to look after the store. They can earn money just by looking after the workshop at home."
"I heard that Mr. Shen and his wife hired people to work in the store and opened a second store for his brother-in-law and his family to run. They can make a lot of money every month."
"Their shop is so popular. I heard that it was the girl from the Shen family who came up with the idea of making duck blood vermicelli. They also made noodles in different ways."
"But the fourth son of the Shen family has not been home recently. I don't know what he has been doing."
"I heard that the fourth son of the Shen family had a crush on the young lady of the Xu family and was humiliated by her."
"The Xu family, isn't that the Xu family, the wealthy merchant family that runs a cloth shop? Tsk tsk, the fourth son of the Shen family, a peasant, really wants it."
"Although the Shen family is better off now, they are still from the village and cannot compare with the Xu family. I don't know what the fourth son of the Shen family is thinking. Isn't this deliberately seeking humiliation?"
…
There was nothing new in Xinghua Village. When everyone was enjoying the cool air in the evening, most of the discussions were about the Shen family.
When Shen Yueyao drove the ox cart with Dabao and Erbao and passed through the village, she heard these conversations.
When Shen Yueyao heard others discussing the matter between Fourth Brother Shen Shaojing and Miss Xu, her eyes darkened.
She will never forget how the Xu family humiliated her parents and her fourth brother.
She asked Yang Yanran to find out about the Ning family.
The Xu family originally suppressed the Ning family, which also ran a cloth shop, and used dishonorable means to squeeze the Ning family out, and only then did they expand the cloth shop business.
If the Ning family has no problems, Shen Yueyao plans to cooperate with the Ning family to suppress the Xu family.
In business, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
It’s actually possible for Shen Yueyao to open a cloth shop, but it’s a bit troublesome.
She had a lot of business to do and couldn't devote much energy to running a cloth shop because she had to import cotton and then weave the cloth to make clothes, which was a complicated process.
It would be better to do business like lipstick, facial cream and food, which is simpler.
There are many apricot trees in Xinghua Village. Dabao and Erbao looked out and saw many apricots on the apricot trees in the village. They couldn't help but point and said, "Mom, apricots, there are apricots."
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "I'll go to my grandma's house later. There are also apricots at my grandma's house."
There are fewer fruits in this era, and apricots are also a popular fruit.
When seeing apricots, Shen Yueyao's mind automatically thought of apricot jam, apricot smoothie, canned apricots, almonds and other foods.
When Shen Yueyao was driving the ox cart towards her parents' residence, she passed by several apricot trees and seemed to smell the fragrance of apricots.
Because there are many apricot trees and apricots in Xinghua Village, people are not in a hurry to pick apricots. They will wait until the apricots are fully ripe before picking them. Such apricots are sweet, soft and delicious.
There is also a big apricot tree planted in the yard of Shen Yueyao's parents' house, and there is also an apricot tree at the door.
The apricots produced by these two apricot trees in previous years were also big and sweet.
I remember that when she was a child, she and her brothers also liked to pick apricots to eat.
Sometimes apricots are picked and eaten before they are ripe.
My parents said that we should wait until the apricots are ripe before eating them.
Apricot kernels can also be used to make almonds.
I remember that she used to use a stone to gently open the apricot kernel and take out the almond inside to eat.
When they were young, there were not many snacks, and almonds were a good snack for them.
Shen Yueyao drove a bullock cart through the village, and many people who were enjoying the cool air saw her bullock cart.
"Whose bullock cart is this? It comes to the village in the middle of the night?"
"Didn't you see that it was the girl from the Shen family?"
"Oh, the girl from the Shen family, she seems to be getting more and more beautiful. She doesn't look like a village girl anymore."
"It's not just the Shen family girl who is like this. Her parents and her third and fourth brothers are all good-looking and don't look like villagers."
"I heard that the Shen family used to come from the capital?"
"That's nonsense! If he really came from the capital, why would he stay in Xinghua Village?"
