After several rounds of drinks, the old village chief's cheeks were flushed.
Grandpa Wu wasn't much better off. The two old men were over a hundred years old combined, and when they talked about their childhood anecdotes, they would laugh and then cry.
Qingshan was terrified. He tried to calm his grandfather down, then the village chief, and was completely overwhelmed.
"I'm old, old, these bones of mine are useless now. Just staying home, eating and waiting to die, it's utterly boring~"
"You're destined to worry. You've worried about Wu Family Village your whole life, and even as you're nearing your deathbed, you're still worrying. You're not meant to enjoy a life of comfort."
"Oh, I'm quite envious of you. You're so busy, with a house full of children and grandchildren, all of whom are incredibly filial!"
"I don't like hearing that. Aren't your husband and his wife, Guanghua, filial? Isn't it good to have gold and silver?"
"Fine, it's just that I'm never satisfied and can't sit still. They listen to my wife and won't let me do any work. I'm stuck at home all day, utterly bored!"
"Isn't that easy? Qingshan, call your mother!"
"Okay, Grandpa, sit tight."
Qingshan listened awkwardly, turning back every few steps to signal Yi Tiao Er Tong to take good care of the old man and Uncle Village Chief.
Then he went to the courtyard and invited his mother over.
Just then, Jiang Yue finished eating, handed her grandson to her daughter-in-law, and gestured for her son to follow...
Qingshan knew that his mother never tried to hide anything from him, so he followed her.
To be honest, Old Master Wu really didn't understand his old friend's feelings. Only after hearing it today did he realize how upset his old friend was.
There is no better way to relieve sorrow than pouring a glass of wine.
"Come on, drink!"
"Damn it!"
"Uncle Village Chief, would you be interested in coming with me to Yunshui County to govern the eight villages?"
After sitting down, Jiang Yue didn't waste any words and went straight to asking the question.
Is it really possible?
Upon hearing these words, the old village chief sobered up.
Can he really still contribute his remaining energy?
“Of course, we’ll set off tomorrow. If Aunt Qin is willing to come along, then she can come too.”
Jiang Yue knew that Wu Guanghua and his wife were going to stay in the village to take care of their grandson and look after their family business.
But Aunt Qin probably didn't trust Uncle Village Chief, so she thought they could both be taken away together.
"Okay, okay, I'll go home right now and tell my wife to pack her bags~"
Wu Yongfa shook his head and tried to get up.
Qingshan quickly helped the village chief, greeted his mother, and personally escorted him home.
Old Master Wu smiled, leaned back in his chair, and said with a relaxed expression:
"Third son's wife, I should go home now. What time are you leaving tomorrow? Your mother and I will come to see you off."
"It's 9 AM, no rush. One of the bamboo sticks, two of the bamboo sticks. Why aren't you helping the old man home?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Grandpa, slow down~"
I'll go by myself~
"Hey, please take care on your way!"
......
After one night, Wujia Village became a bit more lively.
Every household caught chickens and ducks early in the morning, and stored goose eggs and chicken eggs properly with straw and buckwheat.
If it weren't for the fear that the pork wouldn't keep in the heat, the villagers would have all wanted to slaughter their own pigs and give them to the princess.
Seasonal fruits and vegetables were also washed and arranged in a basket.
Neatly arranged, there was more than a whole cartload of them.
Everyone quietly placed their things at Princess Jiang's door and left immediately, making it impossible to catch up with them.
If it weren't for Xiaobai constantly scratching at the door, Yitiao and Ertong would have been too busy feeding the horses and raising the poultry to notice what was happening outside.
The two dared not hide it from the old man and hurriedly reported it to him, who had already gotten up and washed up early.
Qingshan was deeply grateful after hearing this.
After thinking for a moment, he gestured for the villagers to put their belongings into the carriage.
This time, the bodyguards hired eight men and eight carriages.
Most of it was used to settle the students, and the rest was just enough to store the gifts sent by the villagers.
Of course, he wouldn't accept the villagers' gifts for nothing. After his mother passed away, he went to town to buy a few pigs and prepared a pig-slaughtering feast to entertain all the villagers!
As for his family, they will stay in their hometown for now and visit their mother in Yunshui County when the autumn weather is clear and pleasant.
The couple discussed it and managed to coax their daughter, who was still making a fuss in the middle of the night, to sleep.
My daughter is sleeping soundly right now, and I reckon she won't wake up until noon.
"Woof woof woof~"
Xiao Bai was extremely excited because its owner said they would take it to their new home to broaden its horizons and maybe even find it a partner.
What is blind dating?
It doesn't understand, but it wants to be with its owner.
After taking his medicine and sweating it out last night, Mr. Gu has recovered from his serious illness thanks to Madam Xu's meticulous care.
I ate two big bowls of congee with preserved egg and lean pork for breakfast, and also two pickled vegetable pancakes.
They didn't have much luggage; they just needed to pack a little.
If I had to say what I'd miss, I'd really miss the food here. It suits their tastes better than what they had in Yunshui County.
But none of that matters. As long as my granddaughter is by my side, nothing else matters.
The old village chief argued with his wife all night, but ultimately won and successfully lured her to Yunshui County.
Hehe, Princess Jiang said that once he got to his destination, she would give him something to do, and he was full of energy!
Old Qin didn't want to play along with her husband's nonsense, but he was determined to go with Jiang, saying that Yunshui County needed him.
Her son and daughter-in-law also tried to persuade her, saying that the old man hadn't been happy in recent years and had been depressed.
Since the old man wants to go to Yunshui County, let him go.
They stay in their hometown, taking good care of their home and belongings, so that when they return, they can come back anytime and treat it as a trip.
Old Madam Qin thought about it and agreed.
Then let's go with the old man to Yunshui County for a visit, just as a sightseeing trip~
After thinking it through, she agreed.
While helping the old man pack his luggage, I also packed some luggage for myself.
Actually, she listened to what her son and daughter-in-law said.
I've worked hard all my life, worried all my life, and I'm still old without ever having traveled to another place.
Since Princess Jiang is willing to take them, then the old couple shouldn't be ungrateful and should go to Yunshui County to have a look around.
If you can't help, come back.
If it can be of any help, then it would be good to stay in Yunshui County to assist.
"Brother, now that you've made it big in Yunshui County, don't forget your little brother here!"
"Definitely! Definitely!"
"Grandpa Village Chief, keep up the good work and make money! When you come back to the village next time, could you bring my little flower some candied hawthorns?"
"Okay, okay, I'll work hard to earn money. You tell your wife to raise a few more chickens. When I make a fortune, I'll come back and eat them!"
"No problem, it's a deal!"
"A few chickens and you think you can buy me off? My family raises an old sow, we'll slaughter her for the New Year. Don't get too carried away and forget about home. If you can't make a living after the New Year, remember to come back to Wu Family Village. If we have food, you'll have food too!"
"Go away, go away, what discouraging talk! I'm Wu Yongfa, the 'fa' in 'forever making a fortune'!"
"Okay, okay, take care of yourself out there, don't overwork yourself~"
"Okay, I got it~"
A group of elderly men and women surrounded the old village chief and Old Qin, bidding them a reluctant farewell.
At the school gate, a group of students arrived with large bags and bundles, waiting for the principal's order...
