Chapter 190 Moving to a New Home
They set out at 9:00 PM, and before noon Zhou Yunshu and the others arrived at Dongwang Village under the leadership of Uncle He.
The Zhou family's new home is in the northeast of Dongwang Village. Enter Dongwang Village and cross the stone bridge under the big banyan tree on the east side, and you can get to the Zhou family's new house away from most of the families in Dongwang Village.
Because of the addition of Zhou Yunshu and her group, not only were many houses built at the foot of the small green hill that was originally overgrown with weeds, but even several wide dirt roads were built.
When the convoy first entered Dongwang Village, it could still feel the bumps, but when it crossed the stone bridge and entered the northeastern territory, the road suddenly became flat.
The convoy was so long that it was impossible for the villagers of Dongwang Village not to see it. They stood on the roadside with their farm tools, whispering to each other and pointing at the convoy of Zhou Yunshu and her group. There were even seven or eight little children with pigtails following behind the convoy, looking at the carriages and compartments curiously.
"This must be the rich man at the foot of Xiaoqing Mountain!"
"Of course it is. There is never such a grand ceremony when Manager He comes."
"Oh my goodness, have you counted their carriages? How much silver does that cost?"
"What do you know? Any landlord can afford this little carriage."
"But they seem to have guards. Didn't you see the knives at their waists?"
"It's true that they are not easy to deal with, but our village is going to be prosperous."
When the people around mentioned prosperity, they immediately came forward and asked, "What do you mean? Why is it prosperous?"
"Yeah, could it be that these newcomers are going to help us get rich?"
"Go away, you landlubber! How can you make a fortune?" Someone in the know looked at the convoy's backs as it left and said to the people around him, "I heard from the head of the village and the village chief that this family seems to be planning to open a school in the village."
"Really? Do you charge money? If not, our family will go!"
Someone in the know rolled their eyes at her when they heard what the person next to them said, "They're running a school, not doing charity. Why don't they charge money?"
"That's right, even going to the city to study requires tuition. What are you dreaming of?"
The man curled his lips and said disapprovingly, "They look so rich, they should help poor people like us."
As he spoke, his tone unconsciously rose: "Not to mention we are locals!"
"They're a bunch of outsiders who have settled in our village. Why don't we give them some benefits? Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss!"
As soon as he finished saying this, many people around him thought that what he said made sense, while the man who knew about it and the people around him rolled their eyes at him, turned around and left to go home, leaving the people behind them to their wishful thinking.
…
Zhou Yunshu and his group were unaware of the little plot these people from Dongwang Village had made against them. At this time, the convoy had stopped. Zhou Yunshu got off the carriage and looked at the house in front of him with great satisfaction.
The heavy wooden door of their new home faces north and south, with a stone lion on each side of the door. Next to the stone lion on the right side is a sturdy banyan tree, which looks full of vitality and vigor.
In front of the new house is an empty small square, which has been compacted so tightly that even loose soil is rarely visible.
On the west side of the new home are two rows of identical houses, with six courtyards in each row. The first six are inhabited. As for the south, near the Xiaowang River, there are a brick house and a thatched house scattered around, all of which are inhabited by people from Dongwang Village.
Let’s go back to our new home.
The back house of the new house was also used as a school. It had three rooms in total, with a separate door at the east end, so people could enter the school without going through the Zhou family's main gate.
On the west side is a small yard for livestock.
The convoy stopped to move the luggage. Zhou Yunshu supported Ji Mingzhu and took Li Jialan and others into their new home under the leadership of Uncle He.
As you enter, you will see a screen wall with the words "peace and joy" on it. Turning left is the front yard, which looks like an enlarged version of the house in the river.
Doctor Xue went to pack his luggage, and Zhou Yunshu and his group continued to walk towards the main courtyard. The east and west wing rooms on the left and right belonged to the Zhou family's first and second branches respectively. Li Jialan and Wu Yue each took people to pack, and Zhou Yunshu helped Ji Mingzhu go to the main house.
Although he rested for a night after the long journey, Ji Mingzhu was still a little exhausted.
Zhou Yunshu helped Ji Mingzhu sit down on the soft couch covered with a thick mattress, while Nanny Wang went to tidy up Ji Mingzhu's bedroom.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Ji Mingzhu who was resting with her eyes closed and her forehead lightly supported, and took the fruit lunch box she had prepared in Dongchuan City that morning to the small wooden table in the middle of the couch.
"Grandma, these are the lychees I bought this morning. Please try them."
The products from the space have the best taste and contain a hint of spiritual energy, which is also good for Ji Mingzhu's body.
At least with Zhou Yunshu's intentional or unintentional feeding, not only did the health of her family members improve a lot, but even Ji Mingzhu, who was initially diagnosed by Doctor Xue as having a short lifespan, was slowly nurtured by Zhou Yunshu, and now his health is almost the same as when he was in the capital.
Doctor Xue and Nanny Wang have always believed that Haizhou has good feng shui, which is why they take care of people in this way.
Ji Mingzhu didn't want to eat it at first, but when she saw Zhou Yunshu had already peeled the lychees, she picked them up in her hand and put them in her mouth.
When the lychee juice filled her mouth, her fatigue and the stuffy and nauseous feeling in her chest felt much better.
So, Ji Mingzhu couldn't help but pick up another one himself.
After eating a few, Ji Mingzhu felt a little better. She leaned back on the couch and said, "You always manage to buy what suits my taste best."
It's even better than what I had in Beijing before.
Of course, this may also be related to the place of origin. The lychees she had eaten in the past were all delivered to the capital by fast horses, but the ones from Haizhou may have arrived in front of her not long after they were picked from the tree.
Sometimes Ji Mingzhu thought that Haizhou had many advantages.
"As long as grandma likes it."
Ji Mingzhu glanced at Nanny Wang who came out of the dormitory and said to Zhou Yunshu, "You don't have to stay here with me. I'm going to sleep for a while. I won't have lunch with you."
Zhou Yunshu stood up and nodded. Dong Ge was always in the kitchen anyway, so it was convenient for her grandmother to eat whatever she wanted.
After leaving her grandmother's place, Zhou Yunshu walked through the main hall and returned to their room.
Chunque was tidying up the outer room, while Ji Sheng was decorating the inner bedroom himself.
It was the same when they were in the palace before. She was the one who always cleaned her and Ji Sheng's rooms. Ji Sheng didn't like anyone except the two of them and Xixi to enter their bedroom.
This also led to Zhou Yunshu doing all the things in their dormitory personally, and now Ji Sheng does it himself.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Ji Sheng's skillful movements and felt as if he had done it many times before.
He is really a very contradictory person. Some things that obviously shouldn't happen or happen to him actually happen very reasonably.
Ji Sheng noticed Zhou Yunshu as soon as she came in.
The dormitory, or where he sleeps, is an extremely private and safe place for Ji Sheng.
Before he got married, he cleaned his own dormitory by himself. After he got married, it took him a long time to adapt to Zhou Yunshu's presence. This is why he didn't react much when Zhou Yunshu appeared just now.
He looked at the neatly tidied dormitory and said to Zhou Yunshu at the door, "Want to sleep for a while?"
