"Have you told Uncle Shizhu about the marriage? Is it really over?"
Dongsheng felt a little uncomfortable when talking about marriage. "I told you that I shouldn't be ungrateful and delay others. My father is a reasonable person. He just feels that our family has let your family down. I also met with Uncle Bingfa and Aunt Zhou, and we have made it clear."
"The military camp has no arrangements for people like you who are of age but still unmarried."
"How can I care about these things when facing my country? Sister Chunxiao, you are so young, why don't you consider finding another husband?"
Chun Xiao was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to ask this. Perhaps they were talking about marriage. She smiled and said, "Why should I look for a husband? I have good food and drink now, and I can go out and have fun by myself. If I find a husband, I have to listen to him and control me here and there. Why bother? I'm fine on my own."
"What if he lets you do what you want and doesn't care about you?"
"Where can I find such a person? I'll tell you when I find him."
The two talked for a while and then Dongsheng went to the front to patrol the car.
Xiaohua sat opposite her and looked at her, "Miss, this man is from your hometown. Your hometown man is also an official. How amazing."
"He worked hard for it all, and we don't know how much he suffered along the way."
"I heard from my sister that he used to be a farmhand in the young lady's family. The young lady is so powerful that all the farmhands in the family have become officials. I don't think he is mean at all. He is a really good person."
"Don't mention the farmhands outside. Officials have subordinates, so they have to maintain some dignity."
They traveled for a day, rested at the government post station at night, and arrived at Lan County, Dongjiang Prefecture, in the evening of the next day.
The reception was personally received by the magistrate of Lan County. Chunxiao saw that the two seemed to be familiar with each other and spoke very familiarly.
"You have worked hard on the march, Accounting Officer. I have asked the post station to prepare some wine and food as a token of my condolences."
Dongsheng saw Chunxiao standing in the distance and pointed at the county magistrate. "She's from my hometown, a major cotton grower in our area. If she ever buys a farm in your county, please take care of her, magistrate."
"Oh!" The county magistrate looked at Chunxiao and smiled. "Since you're a friend of the accounting department, naturally, we welcome you. Cotton is a rare commodity these days. If you can come and grow cotton here, I will definitely help you."
Dongsheng nodded, and the convoy went to the resettlement residence together.
