Yun Niangzi touched Xiao An, whose voice had changed and who now had light downy hair around his mouth and had grown into a big boy, and laughed and cried at the same time: "He's grown up, he's all grown up!"
Xiao An hugged the petite Yun Niangzi and chuckled, "Aunt Yun, I'm a grown-up now!"
He is sixteen years old now. With the help of Han Ming and Manager Mu, and the care of Zhou Sizhu and his wife, he manages two cardboard box factories, two feed mills, a cold storage, and a restaurant in Suijin Town all by himself.
Xiao An knew that these were all the hard work of her second sister, and even if she didn't understand them, she still had to study hard.
In addition, Xiao An was surrounded by elites from various businesses, and she quickly matured, becoming more promising than Song Zhenping, who had long since settled down and was preoccupied with his family.
Not only did she learn to read account books, but she also learned how to treat people, displaying the demeanor of a master of the house. She was no longer the pitiful little girl in Yunniangzi's memory who trembled at night and needed to be held to fall asleep.
Everyone in Mida City was happy, except for Black Gold, who was probably the least happy.
It also came to Mida City.
Black Gold loves excitement and children, but being surrounded and hugged by four dolls every day, covered in their drool, has made it afraid of children.
Every day, he either squats on the roof of the city lord's mansion and refuses to come down, or he runs outside with Shi Tou and Abu. If all else fails, he goes to the military camp with Zhao Tingduo to smell the stench of sweat. In any case, he doesn't want to stay in the inner quarters.
Outside Mida City, Wudan, Abu Xiaoan, and Shitou led their guards and servants to the riverbank, where there were special bathing and changing rooms prepared for them.
The crowds outside the city are just as dense as inside, especially around a high platform by the river, where there are swarms of people.
Everyone knelt on the ground in devotion, constantly praying.
A giant windmill, over five meters tall, stands in the green water, spanning most of the riverbank.
The long blades on top turned slowly, while the waterwheel below spun rapidly, drawing the shallow river water into the wooden bucket and then pouring it into the trough.
Two years have passed. Logically, the people of the Mida Valley should have gotten used to the windmills, but their desire to worship them is growing stronger.
Under the sunlight, a rainbow spans the river, embracing the tall windmills.
This complete rainbow bridge will not disappear, and it will remain so from morning till night, giving people a sense of awe as if it were a miracle.
After the windmill was successfully erected, people discovered that a rainbow would always appear on sunny days, and rumors immediately spread.
People say that the windmills in Mida City are a miracle blessed by God, and for a time, crowds of people rushed over to see the rainbow over the watermills.
The more the rumors spread, the more people from the surrounding tribes considered it an honor to go to the Mida River to pray for blessings.
A rainbow descends from the sky, a sign of good fortune!
The crowd knelt down, chanting for the gods to bless them with favorable weather and abundant harvests, and for their livestock to thrive.
Xiao An and Song Zhenping have been on the grassland for two months, and every time they see this scene outside the city, they blush and their hearts race.
They already knew this was a miracle created by their own people, and they still felt uncomfortable being worshipped like this.
The Wudan people were naturally used to this scene.
At first, they came to the river to worship every day, but after seeing that the young mistress could create a rainbow by spitting out a mouthful of water, and that each of them could also spit out a rainbow... even the children of the city lord's mansion stopped worshipping.
Inside the city lord's mansion, after the noisy men had all left, Lady Yun led several old women and maids to pack her belongings.
Having lived in Mida City for more than two months, and with the summer harvest already over in Wu Dynasty, Song Zhenping and Song Dekui couldn't stay any longer and were preparing to return.
Song Dekui, in particular, was used to gathering information from several sources and listening to new news from all sides.
Even though he had met Lin Qingyuan and heard about the latest news on the trade route, he was tired of staying on the grasslands for so long.
In the main courtyard, Aunt Yang Huaxia was talking to Song Liyun.
"Xiaoyun, remember to take these medicines. The candied fruit your brother-in-law sent is the best, and there's also fresh bitter melon. Don't say the medicine is bitter and harmful!"
Yang Hua brought over the medicine she had just brewed.
Song Liyun pinched her nose and frowned: "Sister-in-law, it's still hot! I'll drink it later!"
Let's talk about Xiao An's wedding. I live so far away, so my sister-in-law will have to put in a lot of effort.
Yang Hua sighed.
This sister-in-law is good in every way, except she's afraid of taking medicine. At first, she could drink a few doses, but now she's making all sorts of excuses and she'll give up in the blink of an eye.
However, she couldn't offer much advice. She couldn't blame her sister-in-law for not having children, and she couldn't keep nagging her.
She also had to keep Xiao An's marriage in mind as her sister-in-law.
Xiao An is sixteen years old and has grown up with Da Hua, the daughter of his master Zhou Sizhu.
The two got engaged last year, but because they are still young, they only set a specific date for the wedding.
The sister-in-law said it would be best to wait until Da Hua is sixteen before getting married, which would give them a year to prepare the dowry for the new house.
Baolin Residence also needs to be renovated...
Yang Hua was about to talk about the repairs when she suddenly realized something was wrong. How had she been led astray by her sister-in-law? Now she was trying to persuade her to take medicine!
Song Liyun spread her hands innocently and said, "Sister-in-law, look, the medicine is cold. I'll have someone heat it up before I drink it!"
Yang Hua scolded playfully, "You're the city lord's wife now, in charge of several thousand people, how come you're even more mischievous than Da Niu!"
Song Dekui's wife, holding her one-year-old son who was still breastfeeding, watched the two sisters-in-law sparring and couldn't help but smile.
After leaving Xiajiazhuang, she stayed on the grassland for a year. After becoming pregnant, she bought a house in Suijin Town and settled down.
It's convenient to buy things, and it's also convenient to visit my parents in the Bahrain tribe.
Originally, Song Dekui was supposed to pay, but since it was a rare occasion for Xia Laosan to spend money so freely, he didn't want his son-in-law to contribute any money, nor was he afraid of being found out by the Xia family. He bought the property himself.
He grew bitter melons in the Bahrain tribe, and when they were delivered to Suijin Town, they were snapped up by merchants.
Money gives people courage; when your wallet is bulging, you stand tall. With his only daughter in town, he spends money lavishly without a second thought.
