Chapter 416 Moving to Bai County
"Okay, let's pack up quickly and stop sighing in worry. I believe Miaomiao must have her own plans for doing this. We will definitely be back soon."
After hearing Gu Yuanniang's consolation, Song Weiwei threw the things in her hands onto the bed angrily and said, "I obviously didn't do anything wrong, but now it's us who are leaving. I can't get over this."
Gu Yuanniang naturally understood the frustration in her heart, but she could only comfort her silently. Xu Miaomiao heard the conversation between the two but didn't say anything. Instead, she urged her master to pack up quickly.
"It's good to leave now. We haven't lived in the village for a long time. We can go to the county town today to see how it is different from where we are now."
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, Gu Yuanniang immediately smiled and responded to Xu Miaomiao, saying, "Yes, yes, it's just right for us to go to Bai County to have a look. It's also closer to the department store, so it's more convenient to go there. Let's deal with the shop first, and then we can decide whether to come back or not. Besides, whether we come back or not, this house belongs to us, how can they occupy it for no reason?"
After hearing what Gu Yuanniang said, Song Weiwei seemed to nod in response, and packed up the things in front of her, preparing to leave.
They were a big family to begin with, and now they had to leave suddenly, and they had a lot of things to pack up. One carriage could not possibly carry it all. Xu Miaomiao simply left a lot of things behind, and did not take everything away. Instead, she only took some of the more valuable things. It was better for them to leave now, at least Erbao and Xiaobao would not be hurt anymore.
Xu Miaomiao comforted herself, thinking that she had packed up her things and was behind the carriage. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Village Chief Wang rushing over. After thinking about it, she realized that Village Chief Wang had been nice to her before, so Xu Miaomiao stopped, got off the carriage, looked at the old man who was running towards her in a hurry, supported him, and spoke.
"Village Chief, since you are old, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Madam Xu, I knew you were leaving now, and I was really worried, so I rushed over immediately, fearing that if I came a step too late, you would have already left."
As Village Chief Wang spoke, he was panting and his fingers were trembling. He took out a small bundle from his arms, wrapped it with his fingertips and opened it. There was some small change inside.
Village Chief Wang immediately handed the silver to Xu Miaomiao, and then he said, "Madam Xu, you are leaving today. After all, we have let you down, but I dare not resist Wang Buren's power. Although this silver is not much, I still want to give it to you as a token of my appreciation. I hope you will not despise it, Madam Xu."
The old man was trembling with the silver in his hand, his eyes full of earnestness. When Xu Miaomiao saw this scene, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She reached out and took the silver, and responded to the man in front of her and spoke.
"Village Chief Wang, I, Xu Miaomiao, remember everything that happened today very clearly, but I can't take this money, so you should keep it for yourself."
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he paused and tried to pass the thing in his hand to Xu Miaomiao, but Xu Miaomiao immediately dodged him and looked at him and asked, "Village Chief, you know we also opened a shop in the department store at that time, so we didn't lack these silver coins at all. Take them! I don't blame anyone for what happened today. Anyone here can only blame the injustice of the world."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she turned around and got on the carriage. She didn't want to look at the village chief's eyes again, for fear that if he looked at her one more moment, he would become soft-hearted and help them cure the crops. However, people always have to pay the price for what they have done. Xu Miaomiao hardened her heart and drove away in the carriage.
I don't know why, but when they were really about to leave, smiles appeared on the faces of the children. Looking at Xiaobao reading a book quietly in the carriage and Erbao chattering with Song Weiwei about the interesting things that happened in the past few days, Xu Miaomiao actually felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
In the past few days, Gu Yuanniang's condition and health have improved a lot. I believe that it won't be long before she will be able to be back to normal. For some reason, Xu Miaomiao always feels that everything is finally starting to get better.
By the time they arrived at the county, the old house was already covered with several layers of dust. Xu Miaomiao fetched a basin of clean water from the well and asked everyone to start cleaning.
The sun gradually set, illuminating the courtyard. The yard, which had been dusty for a long time, was finally cleaned. When Song Wushao and Xu Qingshan came back, they saw everyone sitting in the courtyard, panting. Seeing the two of them, for some reason, Xu Miaomiao's fatigue from the tiring day was swept away.
I immediately stood up and began to say, "I'll go cook now."
"Oh, it's already this late, what are we still cooking for?"
When Song Weiwei heard this, she immediately took a step forward and signaled Xu Miaomiao not to go.
Seeing Song Weiwei shaking her head and leaving, she felt a little puzzled. Song Wushao stepped forward and said, "It's getting late. Why don't we go to Zui Xiang Fang outside to eat? It's a good opportunity to congratulate us on our move. What do you think?"
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she agreed and nodded. Song Weiwei was also happy and almost wagged her tail to the sky. Zuixiangfang was the best restaurant in Bai County and the dishes there were no worse than theirs.
Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Xu Miaomiao finally nodded. After a while, everyone led them to Zuixiangfang. Although Bai County is relatively remote and there are not as many delicacies in the county as in the capital, every place has its own characteristics. Bai County has quite a lot of delicacies, especially Zuixiangfang, which brings together all the delicacies of the people. It is really great to come here occasionally to satisfy your cravings.
Because they arrived late, they had to wait for a while before a seat became available. They all went up together. It was obviously not a festival or a holiday, but Zuixiangfang was still crowded with people. Many people were crowded together at the door.
When Xu Miaomiao and the others came in, there were still quite a few people queuing outside. One can imagine how good the business here is.
This is an old restaurant that has been open for many years. Not only does it have many visitors and a great reputation, but many people from other places come here just to try the food here.
