Chapter 357 I Miss Him
Although Zhao Baofeng was happy, she still knew her limits.
When she saw that Old Madam Shen was also at Wang Guilan's house, she suppressed her joy and managed to find another excuse.
Wang Guilan, with her discerning eyes, could not fail to notice something was wrong with Zhao Baofeng. "Big Boss's wife, just tell me what you have to say! Madam Shen is not an outsider!"
"Right!"
Zhao Baofeng thought for a moment and lowered her voice deliberately, "Mother, this is the thing. What do you think about marrying Jin Jie'er to this kid Beilin?"
Wang Guilan was shocked. "How could Jin Jie'er's mother be interested in that Beilin kid?"
"Mom, look at what you said, our Beilin is not bad either! Besides, Juexia just asked Song Yu, and she agreed."
"It's agreed. That's a great thing. Beilin is so lucky to marry such a delicate wife like Jinjie."
"I feel the same way, which is why I came all the way here to tell you and ask for your opinion."
"What can I say? I'm very satisfied. No wonder you're so happy!"
"Mom, I haven't asked a matchmaker to propose marriage yet, so let's not tell anyone about this yet!"
"Look at what you said. Your mother is the kind of person who talks nonsense! My eldest daughter-in-law, this matter must be handled properly!"
"I know, mother."
Wang Guilan and Zhao Baofeng chatted back and forth, making Old Lady Shen extremely curious. "Old sister, whose child is getting engaged?"
"My eldest son, my grandson."
"That's a happy occasion! I heard that it was Jue Xia who arranged this, but how come it's already a marriage in just a short while? She's really capable!"
Zhao Baofeng nodded in agreement, "This is all thanks to Jue Xia."
Wang Guilan smiled and said, "Big Boss's wife, you must prepare a good meal for Jue Xia when the time comes."
"Mom, I have to do this even without you telling me."
Old Madam Shen also laughed and asked with concern, "Where is this girl from?"
"This is a long story."
Wang Guilan pointed to the three brick houses at the back and said, "Madam, this is where the girl and her mother live now. Their household registration is also in our village."
"Then this marriage is great. We're close, the two families know each other well, and the children all know each other. It's not a blind marriage, it's really great!"
Wang Guilan smiled with satisfaction, "That's right, this girl's mother is an embroidery master hired by Juexia, and her skills are really amazing.
She is the one who looks after Juexia's handicraft workshop.
All the women in the village who had some skills in needlework came to Juexia's workshop to learn embroidery from the embroidery master.
Nowadays, their wages are higher than those of the men in their families.”
"That's great! Juexia and that embroidery master really did a good thing!"
"That's right, but no one is perfect..."
Wang Guilan told Old Lady Shen about Song Yu's situation. After listening to Wang Guilan's words, Old Lady Shen also felt that Song Yu was a courageous and strong woman.
"When it's convenient, I'll let you meet her."
"Okay, I'll be staying here for a few more days anyway, but I have to take a good look at Juexia's workshop."
"Okay, since this workshop won't run away anyway, Madam, you should take a good rest for a couple of days first, and then I'll let Juexia accompany you."
For dinner, Wang Guilan brought Zhao Baofeng and Li Yiqun to help with the cooking.
However, compared to the lunch, the meal was much simpler. This was also what Zhang Juexia meant. After all, Old Madam Shen was old, so she should eat a lighter dinner.
I stir-fried some seasonal vegetables and cooked a pot of thick millet porridge.
At noon, Wang Guilan kneaded the dough in advance and steamed a pot of white flour buns.
Old Madam Shen looked at the plump white steamed buns coming out of the pot and stopped holding them. She immediately asked Lihua to break off half of one for her. She put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly, "This tastes really delicious!"
The person who cooks will definitely be happy when he is praised.
Wang Guilan smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll steam it again tomorrow. Thanks to Juexia, we used to eat mixed flour steamed buns.
Now looking at this big white steamed bun, I like it too."
During the night rest, Zhang Juexia was worried that Old Madam Shen would not be able to get used to living there anymore, so she stayed with her in the room and chatted for a while. Only after she lay down did she dare to go back to her own room to sleep.
After Zhang Juexia left, Mrs. Shen talked for a while with Lihua, who was accompanying her in bed.
"Over the years, I have often dreamed of returning to the home where I lived as a child.
My mother made me a pot of delicious food, and my father went to the town to sell things and bought me a string of candied haws.
You know, pear blossoms are so sweet.
But when I woke up the next day, I realized that I had dreamed again.
My home has been washed away by that merciless flood..."
Lihua listened to Madam Shen's sigh and hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Madam, I see that you are in a good mood today."
"Well, I let you guess. I never thought that in my lifetime, I would be able to sit in a farmer's yard with a peasant woman of the same age and chat about family matters."
"The old lady is lying in this farmyard, isn't she also very happy?"
"Juexia didn't lie to me. Her yard is so well built that I thought I was dazzled when I got off the carriage.
Her house makes her a wealthy person in the village."
Lihua chuckled, "Madam, isn't Mrs. Ye a local tycoon?
I never thought that Mrs. Ye was so capable.
I heard from her grandmother today that what Mrs. Ye did is truly admirable."
"I heard Xia say that she has a lot of good things in the mountains. Not only does she raise chickens, sheep, and rabbits, but she also seems to grow a lot of medicinal herbs. She also planted the fruit trees we sent her on the mountain.
Think about it, if she didn't have some real stuff in the mountains, given the stinginess of the prefect Liu, he could reward her with two hundred taels of silver."
"Hearing what the old lady said, I feel that Madam Ye is even more capable.
Madam, how long will we stay here?"
"It depends on my mood. I can stay as long as I want."
"That's great, old lady. It's too late. Let's go to bed quickly!"
Zhang Juexia tossed and turned in bed, not feeling sleepy at all.
She missed Ye Beixiu, but she didn't know if Ye Beixiu missed her.
She felt that she overestimated herself. In fact, she should have asked Ye Beixiu to take a few days off so that he could practice martial arts at home.
Alas, the more she thought about it, the more upset she became, so she simply sat up.
Looking forward to tomorrow coming soon.
Otherwise, I should send another letter to Ye Beixiu tomorrow to express my longing for him...
