Chunxiao and Xiaohua returned to Wang's place. The two little ones had grown taller than last year.
Seeing them enter the room, "Aunt Xiaohua, why didn't Uncle Nineteen come?"
"Miss, did you see that? These two little ones still remember Nineteen." She squatted beside the two children. "Your uncle Nineteen has grown up and is now a manager in the village. He is in Su County, which we just mentioned. He is the manager there. The next time your grandfather and his family send someone to Su County to deliver goods, you can go with him and see him. I just don't know if he will recognize you."
"Of course he recognizes us. He even said he would take us out to play."
"Don't let them get carried away. They're still young, and it's not safe for them to go out with adults." Chun Xiao looked at the two children. "Your Uncle Nineteen has been staying there. Grow up quickly, and when you're old enough, you can go find him on your own."
"Miss Dongjia, we understand." The two children left obediently.
"Young Miss Dong!" Xiaohua chuckled. "Who is it, the Dong or the Miss? They are all confused."
"They only call me that because they heard you call them that. Hey, whatever you call me is fine. How about Xiaohua, you can call me Master from now on instead of Miss."
"No, you are my mistress to me and my master to others. We call each other by our own names."
Wang came over again in the evening and talked to the two of them for a long time. She talked about the changes in the village in the past year and the people who came back a few days ago. In fact, there was a lot more she wanted to say, but seeing that it was getting late, she was afraid of disturbing their rest, so she gave up.
Early the next morning, Chunxiao and the others were about to set off. The Zou family originally wanted to keep them, but knowing that they were really in a hurry to travel, they did not try to keep them.
When they left this time, many people in the village came out to see them off. They accompanied them to the main road and watched the carriage go away before leaving.
"Miss, you are now the village's God of Wealth. If it were me, I would probably have to worship you."
"If you worship me, who will help you make money? That's why people are human beings. Only when they can move can they develop."
"Miss, what you said is too profound. Xiaohua didn't understand."
"I think we really need to hurry up. It will take another eight or nine days to reach Su County." There was nothing wrong with the ancient times except that long-distance travel was too inconvenient. She was driving a horse-drawn carriage now, which was equivalent to owning a Rolls-Royce, but the road was still too long. No matter how rich or capable she was, she could not overcome this difficulty. It was really too difficult.
On the third day of their journey, it started to rain and the air was very damp and cold.
"Xiaohua, put on an extra coat, a cloak, hand guards, and a straw raincoat. If we come across a place to stay, we can stop and wait for the rain to stop. Don't catch a cold."
"Miss, I'm fine. I'm not cold at all. I'm wearing two thick coats and a straw raincoat, so I'm not wet. Look, the only parts of me that are exposed are my nose and eyes."
"Don't force yourself. It's one thing to rush on your way, but you still have to hide when you need to."
"Don't worry, I know it myself. We can go to the town to rest tonight."
In the evening, they arrived at the inn in the town. Xiaohua's clothes were inevitably a little wet. Chunxiao touched her hand, and fortunately her hand was warm.
"Miss, I didn't lie to you, I really am not cold."
Chunxiao paid extra for the charcoal stove and charcoal from the inn, and the two of them began to dry Xiaohua's clothes and shoes in the inn room. "Miss, I have four or five sets of cotton-padded clothes, and I can't wear them all. I also have too many cotton-padded shoes now."
"I told you it would be good to do more. Look, now it's time. You have two sets, which is perfect. You can even do a few more next time." She listened to the rain outside the window. "I wonder if the rain will stop tomorrow. It would be great if it did."
"I'm afraid it's going to rain for a few days. Let it rain, as long as it's not so heavy that it affects our journey. The inns in the north all have charcoal fires. If it gets wet, we can dry it out like this without any problem."
"How about I take some ginger to the kitchen and ask you to make some ginger water for you to drink. It can help prevent the disease."
"No, no, I'm fine, really."
Chun Xiao saw that she really looked fine, so she didn't force him. "If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me. We can dry out our clothes so they're more comfortable to wear."
The next day, it was still raining, and the two of them continued their journey. While driving, Chunxiao began to think about Dongsheng and his car company.
It actually takes a lot of capital to open a car dealership, but now the biggest part, the horse, has been taken care of, and what remains is the space and manpower.
This local site is very important. It would be best to set up a site in every county if the scale is large, but the cost will increase exponentially. They must make some trade-offs when they are just starting out. You can calculate the approximate manpower and investment costs.
When they left Xiangwen County, it started to rain and snow. Xiaohua was also convinced. She had thought the rain would stop, but now it started snowing.
"Please don't snow too heavily. Please don't snow too heavily." Xiaohua muttered to herself.
"What are you mumbling about?" Chunxiao, wearing a hat, was also looking at the weather outside with worry.
"I pray to God that the snow won't get any heavier. It's fine even if it rains, but if it snows the roads will be slippery and the carriage won't be able to move forward, which would be troublesome."
"Yeah, I'm also praying to God that the snow won't get any heavier. It seems like every time we travel we have to deal with bad weather."
"No, miss, it's winter now, and we're on the road for so long, it's bound to rain or snow."
Chunxiao doesn't like rainy days. It's too troublesome when it rains. It makes everything inconvenient. On days like this, the rain makes it seem even colder. She wrapped herself in a black cotton cloak. It would take almost four days to get to Suxian. It was so hard.
