Chapter 169 Entering the City Again
Chen Chunxing's eyes were filled with tears. "Grandma, can you cook?"
Niu Chunhua was slightly startled. "I grew up in the countryside..."
Chen Chunxing hurriedly shook her hand again, "That's good. Actually, there's already a teacher at the school. I don't ask for anything else. I just ask that you take good care of the kitchen. The children's health in the future depends entirely on you!"
Niu Chunhua hesitated for a moment and pulled his hand away with a slightly cold look.
Wang Youcai squatted on the ground and gloated, "She didn't even cook a meal for me when she was young, let alone after she died."
"Ah?" Chen Chunxing was puzzled. "Didn't grandma grow up in the countryside?"
Niu Chunhua nodded modestly. "I have many children, including older brothers and sisters. My sisters-in-law treat me very well."
Chen Chunxing understood immediately, it turned out that she was the darling heroine in the period novels!
"What should I do then?"
Wang Youcai hooked his shoes with his hand, put them on, stomped his feet, and said angrily, "What else can I do! I'll help you keep an eye on it!"
Niu Chunhua took matters into her own hands and smiled slenderly at Wang Youcai, "Okay, I'll learn how to cook from you in the future and make up for what I didn't do before."
“…”
Wang Youcai went to the toilet with a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes.
afterwards.
Chen Chunxing took the two of them home for breakfast, and while everyone was there, he told them about his plan to go to the county town to hire someone.
Diao did not object.
She knew very well that the bigger the stall was, the more people would be needed to help, and she would never be able to handle it all with just the people in the village.
Thinking about the previous oversight, Diao picked up a piece of fried steamed bread and handed it to Chen Chunxing, and reminded him: "Remember to buy two cows for our village. The last time we went to Yangjiatun, it was just a stopover. We can't always point to the Yang Mansion. I don't have that much nerve."
Chen Chunxing curled his lips and thought to himself, people might be more willing than you think.
Now that Yang Yucheng has found the Seventh Prince, he must have guessed from him who was the one who attacked in the forest that day.
After taking such great credit from Ah Huai, what does it matter if he does him a little favor?
What's more, the Shen family is now equivalent to a big supplier. The families of the military settlements have tasted the sweetness and wish they would always have dealings with them. The Yang Mansion can also gain popularity among the people, so why not do it?
But these details were not to be discussed, so Chen Chunxing was too lazy to speak and just asked casually, "How long will it take to get there by ox cart? Or should we buy a mule?"
"Buying a cow can be useful during the busy farming season. You seem less and less like someone who knows how to manage life!" Diao thought about it and offered Chen Chunxing another piece of pickled radish. "If you can find a way to buy a horse from Xiao Xue, the money would be well spent."
"..." Chen Chunxing joked, "You can't buy it, but maybe as a dowry, there's still a possibility."
Diao poked a finger.
Everyone sipped their porridge with a grunt, pretending not to hear.
Only the third child was so angry that he showed off three steamed buns. With his usual appetite, he could only eat one at most, and any more would overflow.
Therefore, it is particularly eye-catching.
"What's wrong with this kid? Hurry up and bring Doctor Chang back to take another look at him. Don't waste so many rare medicinal herbs only to find out that he has a brain problem when he gets there!" Diao took Shen Mingqiu's chopsticks in annoyance.
This reminded Chen Chunxing that there were too many things going on in the village and he had forgotten about the trouble at the county government office. It was indeed time to bring the old man back. There were a lot of people waiting for him to check at the school.
"Those people in the back mountain, have they been behaving well lately?"
While Yang Yishu was fixing the car, Chen Chunxing asked some trivial questions.
"You know what, these people are quite capable! Not only did they repair all the vacant houses in our village, they also went up the mountain to cut a lot of wood and made furniture for the villagers."
"Look, the villagers have sent them food. Now that the weather is warm, they are neither freezing nor starving. I see they are living a happy life."
"They might not be very smart. They're just sitting in a nice room, not sleeping, and are just going to the back hill to feed mosquitoes all day. What do you think they're planning?"
After listening to Diao's description, Chen Chunxing understood what was going on. He smiled and said, "In troubled times, iron ore is more precious than gold. They are sleeping on gold. Don't worry about it. As long as they don't cause trouble in the village, it's fine."
"If these people are interested in making a living selling pickles, you should teach them. There's nothing in our village that needs to be hidden, except for the people."
Diao waved her hand and sent the man away. "Do I need you to teach me? Your grandma has eaten more salt than you have!"
Little Fourth, who was about to lead the cat team to the school, scratched his head when he heard the noise and said rudely, "Grandma, we couldn't afford salt before!"
“…”
Chen Chunxing smiled and got on the mule cart. When he got in, he saw that Ah Jiu had slipped in without him noticing.
She took him to the seat and said jokingly, "Why do you look like you're attached to Old Yang? He's a stinky man who doesn't know the difference between hot and cold. What good is there in him?"
Ah Jiu sat obediently, his hands on his knees, his frail body straight, his eyes fixed straight ahead, and he spoke softly, "He's good in every way."
As if afraid that Chen Chunxing wouldn't believe it, the child added anxiously.
"He's good at fighting and kind-hearted. He never thought of abandoning me."
"You've only known each other for a few days." Chen Chunxing sneered, ruffling Ah Jiu's hair and interrupting his words. "How can you know what's in their hearts without experiencing their affairs? You can't take people too seriously."
Ajiu frowned, and a look of caution appeared on his young face. After a long time, he nodded.
"Seriously or not, he's a good person."
Chen Chunxing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, opened the curtains, and murmured nonchalantly: "Good people must be rewarded. I hope what you said today can become a blessing in the future."
Outside the window, a white shadow floated back and forth excitedly.
“Sister Shen, how could you not call me when you went into the city?”
"Take me one! Take me one!"
“The local dogs haven’t even seen the ancient town yet!”
Chen Chunxing's eyes twitched, and he quickly lowered the curtain and said solemnly to Ajiu, "There are dirty things outside, don't look."
Ajiu's face was confused.
The mule cart drove all the way into Honglu County, and the men split into two groups.
Chen Chunxing asked Yang Yi to take Ajiu to the market to buy cattle, while he drove directly to the county government office.
After the two got out of the car, she looked around and stopped in front of a clothing store.
Lin Popo followed behind, muttering, "That's it? That's it? An ancient city without walls? Performance art?"
“…”
Chen Chunxing pointed casually, packed a set of grass-green clothes, and threw them into the carriage.
After a while, Lin Popo, who was neatly dressed and transformed into a physical body, popped his head out.
"Sister, can you comb your hair?"
Chen Chunxing said casually: "When we get to the mansion, I'll find a maid to comb your hair for you... By the way, what did your sister do before she died?"
Lin Popo was about to answer when she saw the carriage stop. She looked up and saw a huge plaque in front of her. Her eyes lit up and she finally became interested.
now.
The main gate of the county government office was crowded with people coming and going, and it was as lively as a vegetable market.
Where Mr. Qi had previously set up his stall, there was still a small table, and a scholar was sitting behind it, writing with a pen.
The temperament is extraordinary.
Lin Popo shyly covered her mouth and exclaimed, "He looks like my next boyfriend!"
