Xingfu and Zhao Shitou's wedding ceremony was held on the 26th of the lunar year. There was no time to embroider the wedding dress, so Chunxiao asked Meiman to go to the embroidery shop in town to customize one.
The Wuying Township Government soon sent her 100 taels of silver. She took out 50 taels of it to customize jewelry for Xingfu, and used the other 50 taels as Xingfu's dowry. On the day of her wedding, Xingfu hugged her and cried for a long time.
"You're still crying. Your new makeup has been smudged again." Meiman wiped her tears, with tears in her own eyes.
"Sister, you look so beautiful today." Xiaohua held her hand with envy.
"Okay, if you keep hugging me like this, Zhao Shitou outside will blame me. Don't cry. Getting married should be happy. It's not a life-and-death separation. We will still be together in the future." Chun Xiao patted her back. "Based on age, I call you sister. You must be a happy bride. Don't cry, happy sister."
When she called out "sister", Xingfu cried even harder, and even Meiman beside her started crying too.
"We haven't signed the contract yet. Stop crying, Meiman, you should join in the fun too. Go and help me call Zhao Shitou in and have him sign the contract. Otherwise, how can I hand the person over to him?"
Meiman laughed again, wiped her tears and went to the door to call Zhao Shitou.
Zhao Shitou came in and saw Xingfu with swollen eyes. He was at a loss, "Dong, Dongjia."
"I've given you the person today, but you still have to sign the contract. Take a look at it. After studying with the Master for so long, you should be able to understand this contract."
Xiaohua smiled and handed her a contract, "Brother-in-law, take a look for yourself."
Zhao Shitou took the contract and looked at it carefully. "Where does it say 50 years here?" He scratched his head. There was only the confidentiality clause and the wages for the work belonged to Yan's Happiness, but there was no mention of the length of employment.
"You are indeed stupid, but being stupid has its advantages. Look carefully, the 50 taels of salary a year is given to Xingfu, not you. You are working for nothing. If you agree, take her away."
Zhao Shitou's smile became even more foolish. "My mother said that I will do whatever she tells me to do when I am happy at home. It doesn't matter whether I do it for free or not."
Everyone in the room laughed.
After drinking with the people from Zhuangzi today, they will go to Huangkou Village. It will be their home in the future, and the old lady will naturally go with them. Xiao An will stay here first because he wants to study with the teacher and go there later. He has become accustomed to the life here and can live well even if his second uncle is not around.
Today, the village had a banquet, with five tables set up in each courtyard. Everyone from Linye Village had come, as had Yard No. 4. To ensure a rich feast, Chunxiao even donated half of her own braised meat. Naturally, Huangkou Village, acting as another banquet venue, also had its own offerings. Everyone was having a great time.
The direct consequence of this incident was that when officials from the No. 4 Township Government came on the 27th to invite the residents of Yard 4 to move into the charity hall, they were reluctant. However, since it was someone else's private residence, they couldn't afford to keep taking advantage of it. They simply said that the Chinese New Year was approaching and they would move in afterward. The officials agreed to wait until afterward.
Chunxiao and the two teachers agreed that they would continue to teach here after they moved out, and Zhuangzi would arrange a car to pick them up. After all, finding a job that paid two taels a month wasn't easy.
Although she didn't spend the New Year with her parents this year, fortunately she still had Yan Dashan, Shuwen and others, and so many people in the village depended on her, which made her feel a sense of accomplishment as the head of a family.
In Huangkou Village, Chunxiao left Chunwu there as deputy manager and transferred Chunliu back. Chunliu officially became the deputy manager of Ruyun Manor and took orders directly from Meiman.
After the Lunar New Year, everyone began to work on preparing the land and fertilizing it. Chunxiao began to take Xiaohua with her. During the Lunar New Year period, Xiaohua learned to drive a horse-drawn carriage. Although she had only been there a short time, she felt happier than ever before. Her current life was something she had never dared to imagine. Although she still had to work every day, she did it willingly and was happy.
The people from Yard No. 4 left on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. When they left, Chunxiao happened to go to Huangkou Village. Everyone felt a little regretful that they didn't say goodbye to her, but thinking that they would see each other again in the future, after thanking Meiman and the others, they took their luggage and got on the township government's car.
The fertilizer in the village had been collected as early as the end of October and had long been piled in the pit. In the past two days, the people in the village started plowing the land to prepare for applying fertilizer, and the same was true in Huangkou Village.
Now that Xingfu and Zhao Shitou are there, Yan Mingli goes to her for advice on things he doesn't understand. Although she is in charge of the land in Chunxiao, she actually takes care of more than 300 acres of land.
Chunxiao went to the township government a few days later to inquire whether the county government had issued an announcement to open a government office, but unfortunately there was no news.
At the end of January, Zhuangzi began to busy himself with seedling cultivation again. Everyone was busy. An interesting thing was that when they were planting, people from nearby villages often came to check on them. Many people even asked them why they planted seeds so early. Although they were puzzled by their behavior, many people imitated them. Many fields around them began to plant cotton.
One day in mid-February, someone who had gone to town to buy something came back with a shocking piece of news. It was said that the whole town had heard about the great victory at Mocang Pass and the death of King Chen. Chunxiao was washing her hair in the yard when someone reported it. When she heard the news, she was so excited that she didn't even have time to dry it. "Really?"
"That's what's being said in town. I'm not sure if I can believe it, Boss. If it's true, it's fantastic."
Xiaohua quickly took a towel to wipe her hair, "Miss, don't worry, we can go to the township government tomorrow and ask and we'll know."
