Chapter 203 Hold on tight
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal today, and all agreed that fried food is worth trying!
Even if meat is expensive and hard to come by, isn't there still vegetarian food? Selling two skewers for a penny shouldn't be a problem.
That night, Xue Yongan did not leave, but moved into the east wing as a son-in-law.
This was the first time he lived alone in the Shen family. He had always lived with Yang Yi before.
Later, I lived with Yang Yi and Ajiu.
The sleeping area suddenly became spacious, and I was a little uncomfortable with it. I almost stayed awake until dawn.
Seeing the morning light filtering through the window paper, Xue Yongan stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the house.
Everyone was still asleep at this moment. They were too tired from working yesterday and had eaten too late. The rooster stayed in the village and there was no crowing to remind people, so no one wanted to wake up.
He silently went to the backyard to fetch well water and filled it into the water tank outside the kitchen.
When I turned around to fetch water, there was already one more person in the yard.
"Let me do it."
Yang Yi stretched out his hand, and Xue Yongan handed him the bucket without hesitation.
This man's martial arts skills are no worse than his own, and he can detect any movement in the yard.
It was because of Lao Yang that Xue Yongan could stay in the county with peace of mind. Otherwise, even if Su Su said anything, he would not become a county magistrate.
Turn around and boil some water.
After boiling water, I cooked porridge, cut the steamed buns left over from yesterday into pieces, coated them with egg liquid and fried them.
Xue Yongan didn't stop until he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"You got up so early, are you tired of your bed? Or are you not used to having no one beside you?"
The little girl stood at the kitchen door, looking around curiously with a mischievous smile.
"Well, I need you by my pillow."
The boy's eyes were full of doting as he handed her the toothbrush and actively picked up the copper basin to fetch water for washing her face.
The restlessness I felt for half the night turned into peace in an instant.
A thought suddenly came to my mind.
I have lived two lives, perhaps just to meet her at the Naihe Bridge.
"Don't do this, it's like I'm already married..."
Chen Chunxing was a little uncomfortable and muttered while holding the toothbrush in his mouth.
"He doesn't look like he's marrying a wife, he's clearly marrying into the family..."
Wang Youcai walked out rubbing his eyes, followed by Lao Song.
The two of them didn't sleep in separate rooms.
Anyway, being a ghost doesn’t mean you’re going to lack sleep, and it can also be enough for long conversations.
There is not enough time.
There are less than three months left before Lao Wang returns to the underworld.
"Now that we've moved into a new house, should we still keep the kang heated? If we do, we should hurry up, as winter isn't far away.
There are also pig farms, chicken farms, duck farms... They can't be set up by just a few people. Scientific breeding is still required. I will write down all the knowledge in this regard later, and you can find a few literate people to manage them.
Well, it would be better to find a few younger guys to learn pottery from me. I can’t let this business disappear once I’m gone, right?
At the dinner table, Wang Youcai kept on talking.
Old Song agreed, "Why don't we just go back to the village and try again? What if the next person who comes isn't an expert in this area, and Liuli gets stuck midway through her efforts? That would be so frustrating."
Chen Chunxing was stunned, and after counting the days, he remained silent for a long while before speaking hesitantly, "How about I ask Lao He to open a backdoor and let you stay a little longer?"
Lao Wang waved his hand: "No! Then I'll stay here a little longer... The people from my hometown will have to come out later, so we shouldn't make things difficult for them."
Since everyone was there, a few people didn't dare to explain it too clearly.
"Old Wang is leaving?" Diao listened for a long time before finally understanding. She looked at Xue Yongan in confusion, "Xiao Xue, where did you hire this person from? Why are you keeping such strict control over him? Why don't you let him stay longer?"
When people from the underworld came, they all came in the name of Xue Yongan, claiming that they were invited to teach the villagers how to get rich.
Now it is indeed done.
After all, they had been together for more than half a year and the old lady had become accustomed to this big family. When she suddenly remembered that they were going to leave, she felt a little reluctant.
Xue Yongan glanced at Chen Chunxing and answered carefully: "He was invited from the capital. Mr. Wang holds an important position. In addition to our place, he has to go somewhere else to benefit the village."
Diao was dumbfounded. "Holding an important position? What? Old Wang is an official?"
She turned around and asked Linpopo in surprise, "You also hold an important position?"
Lin Popo calmly used a spoon to stir the porridge. "My sister picked it up from the street. Didn't she tell you?"
“…”
Diao thought about it carefully.
It’s true!
I got used to my granddaughter bringing people home, so I didn't ask much about it later.
When she heard that it was "picked up", Diao lost interest in asking more questions.
Anyway, my granddaughter has that bad habit.
The old lady sipped her porridge twice and sighed regretfully: "Since you have something important to do, I won't stay any longer. If you have time, remember to come to my house again."
Wang Youcai agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay..."
In fact, everyone knows that after this separation, we may never see each other again in this life.
Even Diao thought so.
What normal person would come all the way from the capital to the northern border for no reason?
She thought that it was probably because of Xiao Xue's help that someone wanted to earn him credit. Now that the road was paved, he would naturally leave. Unless it was something important, he would probably not come back.
The Shen family's dinner table is always cheerful, but today is an exception, the atmosphere seems a little depressed.
Niu Chunhua had a stern face throughout the whole process. He ate a bowl of porridge, put the bowl down and left.
She had grabbed this opportunity for Lao Wang, and now before she had a chance to say what was in her heart, her enemy was about to escape again. She couldn't help feeling wronged.
I thought to myself, am I really that annoying?
Old Song winked at Old Wang, and Old Wang shook his head and sighed.
Chen Chunxing was too lazy to watch them playing dumb, so he said hello and followed Xue Yongan to the county government office.
Since Nanny Chen has woken up, she will go and take a look.
"Don't you want me to follow you?" Doctor Chang shouted from behind.
"You should hurry up and go to school. You've been herding sheep for days. Don't delay my Zhixia any longer!"
Chen Chunxing waved his hand and took Su Ruanruan into the carriage.
The little girl waved goodbye to Diao reluctantly and shouted, "Grandma! My dear grandma! So soft to me, I will come back to see you as soon as I have time!"
“…”
Chen Chunxing patted her little butt speechlessly.
"Are you not free?"
——
When I arrived at the county government office, I didn't see Mr. Chu.
"Your Excellency, a crime has occurred in East Street. Mr. Chu is taking people to the scene."
Xue Yongan frowned and asked, "Is it serious?"
The yamen runner on duty glanced at the two people following behind him and answered vaguely: "It is said that it is quite serious. It is best for Miss Shen not to witness that scene."
"Wow! Ruanruan can't even look at that. Let's not look for cousin today! Ruanruan is scared and wants to go back to find her nanny..."
Chen Chunxing grabbed Su Ruanruan who was trying to escape and threw her to Dong'er who came after hearing the news.
"Go and do your thing. I'm familiar with this place."
Xue Yongan was naturally worried and told Geba: "From now on, Miss Shen will be the mistress of the Xue Mansion. You must treat her as your mistress."
Geba opened his mouth wide.
