Liu Feng scratched his son's nose and said with a smile, "That's right! Dad's remaining wages will support you, and your mother's wages will save for dowries for your two sisters."
Liu Feng works in a soy sauce workshop and Li works in a dim sum workshop, and both of them get paid.
Mrs. Li wiped her tears and said, "Xiaofang and her two siblings are now residents of Kaoshan Village. Once we take them over, maybe they can find some work too."
"Then our lives will be even better!" Liu Feng held the coarse cloth in one hand and held Liu Xiaoqiang's hand in the other, laughing and shouting as he ran, "Let's go home!"
Liu Xiaoqiang laughed like a little hen, clucking non-stop.
Looking at her husband who looked like a child, Li's eyes became red again. Life was good now, and the future would be even better! "You two, slow down, don't fall!"
Pushing open the gate of Yard No. 16, the couple visited each house one by one even though they had seen the house layouts before.
The house is very spacious to live in. "The main room is the living room first; we live in the room on the right; Xiaocao and Xiaoqiang live next to us; to the right is the kitchen; Xiaofang and Xiaohe live in the room on the left; the two rooms further to the left are for sundries; and the toilet is at the end."
"After Xiaofang and Xiaohe get married, let each of our two sons have a room. Even if we have grandchildren, they will still have enough space to live in."
Li touched the coarse cloth and cotton and said, "I'll hurry up and make the bedding in the next few days."
Liu Feng nodded. "Let's go. Let's go to the end of the village to buy some household items, and then go to Kaoshan Village to pack everything up. We'll stay here tonight and bring the children over tomorrow. Then our family will be reunited."
They are now living in a new house in Kaoshan Village and have to vacate the house for others, so the rule is that they must move into the new house within two days.
Considering that many people were thinking about reuniting with their families, Kang Yueran asked Xu Jiushi to contact the merchants in advance and set up a small market at the end of the village. People who had just been allocated houses could go to the end of the village to buy things, which could save a lot of time.
Today is the day for house distribution in Shuangxi Village, September 17th is the day for Yangshan Village, September 19th is the day for Xiangshan Village, and September 21st is the day for Kaoshan Village.
The house in Kaoshan Village had been occupied for more than a year, so Mao Qiang sent someone to check it out and repair any damaged parts.
In addition, each household in the mountain village was compensated with three pieces of coarse cloth, twenty kilograms of cotton and fifty kilograms of rice, which made everyone happy.
So everyone moved into the new house and Qingping Village was empty!
Kang Yueran asked Hu Dacheng to move all the things in Courtyard No. 1, Jiazi, onto a carriage, ready to transport them back to her home.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Kang Yueran was filled with emotion. Qingping Village was unusually quiet today, in stark contrast to the noisy scenes in the past.
Xu Jiushi came over, his mood was very low. "When my father took me to the mountain, I was only eight years old. More than 20 years have passed in a flash. I really can't bear to leave."
"Leaving is for a better life. We must always look forward! Let's go!"
"That's right! Let's go, let's go!"
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Xu Jiushi turned around and looked back. Suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes and he started crying softly.
Kang Yueran did not persuade her. This place was just a place for her to stay, but for Xu Jiushi, it was his home where he had lived for more than 20 years.
Xu Jiushi cried for a while, wiped his tears, and persuaded himself, "It's not like I won't come back. The vermicelli workshop in the back mountain is still working. Don't cry, don't cry."
Kang Yueran wanted to laugh, "Let's go!"
"Hmm! Oh, by the way, I've made arrangements with Mr. Li. I helped him get the No. 9 Courtyard in Kaoshan Village and hired four servants to take care of his daily life, and three women to do the laundry, cooking, and sweeping.
My father moved to Courtyard No. 10 with someone else, and with my father watching over them, the servants and maids dared not neglect their duties."
Xu Chang was very impressed with Li Hu. "Well, this arrangement is quite good."
When they reached the official road, Xu Jiushi was heading east to Kaoshan Village, and Kang Yueran was heading south back to Anzhou City.
She said, "I'm leaving. If you have anything, come find me at my house!"
Xu Jiushi pouted and wanted to cry again. Kang Yueran patted his arm and said, "Don't make it like we're parting forever. Just smile!"
"Don't say such unlucky words, sir!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Xu Jiushi jumped on the carriage and drove away. Kang Yueran sighed and looked in the direction of Qingping Mountain for a long time before leaving.
In fact, she was reluctant to do so!
After finishing the moving, the soy sauce in the soy sauce workshop was also ready.
Xu Jiushi sent some to Kang Yueran. Kang Yueran asked the cook to cook two dishes. After tasting them, she thought they tasted good.
She wrote fifteen recipes for stir-fries and stews for Xu Jiushi. If any restaurant provided soy sauce, the recipes would be given to her for free.
Mu Lian, who had tasted the sweetness of success once, won the first place again this time. Kang Yueran personally gave him ten recipes and asked Mu Lian to help her promote the benefits of soy sauce.
Mu Lian readily agreed.
In mid-October, He Zhengchu returned from the academy.
"The teacher said the imperial examination will be held on the fifth day of the eleventh month. He asked me to pack up and go to the capital with a few other students in three days."
Kang Yueran promised Chai Shijing that she would visit him at the end of the year, "I will go to the capital with you."
He Zhengchu laughed and said, "Okay, if I pass the exam, I won't be back until the twelfth lunar month."
"It doesn't matter. Business is doing fine without me watching over it."
"Then I'm going to pack my things. We'll leave together in three days!"
"Go!" She was going to the capital. In addition to visiting Chai Shijing, she also had a bill to settle.
He Zeng was quite concerned about He Zhengchu and the others. He personally went to the city gate to see them off and also gave them some encouragement.
Kang Yueran still took Dacheng, Xiaocheng and Xiaowuzi to the capital.
This time when he came to the capital, Kang Yueran still stayed at the Guangfeng Inn where he stayed last time.
Most of those who could read and write came from well-off families, so several others also chose Guangfeng Inn.
