Chapter 909 Chapter 909, Thousand Miles to Find Husband
With the arrival of the Sun family caravan, several more shops selling specialties from other inland areas appeared in Ganzhou City. People could now purchase food, cloth, and household appliances that were difficult to buy in previous years.
In order to develop Ganzhou City in the long term, Sun Changze bought a house facing Dongjia Street.
On the day the house was decorated, the Dong family came to the Sun house together to warm up the house for Sun Changze and Dong Yuanyao.
"father in law!"
After Dong Yuanyao accompanied Old Lady Dong, Mrs. Dong, and Liu Xiaoman into the house, Sun Changze stayed to receive his father-in-law and uncle.
Facing his father-in-law, Sun Changze was still as nervous and uneasy as ever.
As for Dong Jiancheng, he had complicated feelings about his son-in-law Sun Changze.
When this guy had instigated his daughter to elope with him, he really hated him in his heart;
Later, when the Dong family encountered trouble, this man not only did not avoid suspicion, but also ran around to help. His impression of him improved a lot, but he still felt a little uncomfortable that his daughter, who had been raised in pampering, married him.
Seeing that both of them had tense faces, Dong Yuanxuan smiled and eased the atmosphere: "Changze, have you chosen the address for the oil press?"
Sun Changze felt relieved when he heard his uncle's question. He smiled and said, "I've chosen one. It's not far from the Li family's textile factory."
Dong Yuanxuan nodded and said, "Actually, it's a good idea for you to come here and develop your business now. The land for the oil mill is free for you to use, which can save you a lot of money."
"Next, you will be responsible for all the military purchases. This will ensure sales."
At this time, Dong Jiancheng spoke up: "Besides opening a shop and running an oil press, do you have any other plans?"
Sun Changze glanced at his uncle, and seeing that he was smiling but silent, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Father-in-law, now that Yu'er is born, I don't want to travel around anymore. Since I came to Xiliang, I want to develop well here and earn a fortune for Yu'er."
Dong Jiancheng remained silent for a moment before saying, "Since you want to earn a fortune for Yu'er, then do your best."
"Yeyang is determined to govern Xiliang. With his status and ability, as long as he resolves the external threat of Western Liao and eliminates the inactive bureaucrats in Xiliang, Xiliang will have great potential for future development."
"Those who arrive first will definitely be able to seize some opportunities. If you still have the ability, you can also invest in more industries related to people's livelihood. The garrison now supports this aspect."
"For example, the Li family found a valley basin west of Ganzhouwei that was suitable for growing grapes. They immediately raised money to buy the land and built a grape cultivation base specifically for making wine."
"Such a large piece of land is only allowed in Xiliang because of its vast land, sparse population and poor development. You can't even think about buying it in other places."
"I heard that Li Chenzhi seems to have already looked at shops in Jinweiwei and Lanwuwei, and is planning to open branches there. By then, when the wine is brewed, there will be no worries about sales."
Sun Changze listened carefully and then said that he would go out more often in the future to look for business suitable for the Sun family.
Seeing that he had listened to his words, Dong Jiancheng said no more.
Xiao Yeyang rested at home for two days, and then went to inspect the three military towns of Ganzhou Wei. Seeing that the military towns were functioning well, the morale and appearance of the soldiers were much better than before, and they also trained well every day, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Don't slack off in daily training. Practicing more now will help reduce bloodshed on the battlefield. Also, don't neglect your daily patrols."
Seeing Xiao Yeyang's serious tone, Cao Dan quickly asked, "Sir, is there any unusual movement in Western Liao?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "The four garrisons adjacent to Western Liao are all building important military towns, so Western Liao will naturally not have no reaction at all."
"Before, when I came back from Liangdu, I took a detour to Jianzhouwei and found Western Liao sentries on the way."
As he said this, he sneered.
"The Western Liao people are still harboring evil intentions and have always been eyeing Xiliang."
Cao Dan's expression turned serious. "Don't worry, sir. I will train the soldiers as quickly as possible."
Xiao Yeyang hummed, "A batch of weapons will arrive in a few days. You should equip the soldiers. Ganzhouwei is closest to Western Liao, so we must do a good job of defense."
Cao Dan nodded in agreement.
After Xiao Yeyang finished explaining everything, he prepared to go back.
As soon as he left the gate of Ganxuan Town, Su Hongxin came running over on horseback.
Xiao Yeyang looked at him: "Why did you come out?"
Su Hongxin smiled and said, "Isn't tomorrow your birthday? I just need some rest, so I'll celebrate your birthday with you."
Xiao Yeyang laughed and rode forward: "Are you going there to get some food?"
Su Hongxin chuckled and did not deny it.
Seeing that he had darkened considerably, Xiao Yeyang asked, "How is it going? Are you used to staying in the military camp?"
Su Hongxin: "What's there to be unaccustomed to? I just miss home a little bit." He snorted and said, "I have been here for more than a year, and my wife has never written me a letter. I don't even know if my child is a boy or a girl."
Xiao Yeyang didn't sympathize with this person at all: "Who told you to run away from home without saying a word?"
Su Hongxin was disappointed: "Yes, it's all my own fault."
On the first day of June, Xiao Yeyang turned twenty-three.
The Xiao family did not hold a big celebration, but only invited Dong Yuanxuan and his wife, Dong Yuanyao and his wife, Li Chenzhi and his wife, and Su Hongxin to get together.
Since they were all old acquaintances, Daohua did not separate the tables for men and women. Everyone sat in the hall chatting and laughing.
"This child loves to laugh."
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao held Dong Yuanxuan's son tightly. They used toys to tease the little guy, making him giggle.
When dinner was about to start, Guyu hurried in, glanced at Su Hongxin, and whispered to Daohua, "Miss, there's a lady outside the mansion who claims to be Mr. Su's wife and is here to see Mr. Su."
Daohua's hand holding the toy stopped in mid-air, and she looked at Guyu in surprise: "Who's here?"
The others also stopped talking and looked over here.
Guyu looked at Su Hongxin: "Mrs. Su's wife."
Daohua turned to look at Su Hongxin, was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and said, "What are you still standing there for? Please invite the person in." As she said that, she was about to walk out.
After walking forward, he saw Su Hongxin sitting still, so he had to turn around and say, "Brother Su, your wife is here, aren't you going to greet her?"
Su Hongxin was clearly still a little dazed, and sat there motionless: "Did I make a mistake? My wife won't come to Xiliang, is she a liar?"
Daohua was speechless: "No one should dare to come to the Xiao Mansion to defraud, and besides, there are not many people in Ganzhouwei who know your identity."
Xiao Yeyang also stood up: "Okay, stop sitting there. If you go out and take a look, you'll know whether he's a liar or not."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud female voice was heard outside the yard.
"Su Hongxin, get out here!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Su Hongxin, then stood up and looked outside the door. Then a woman in red holding a child appeared in their sight in a hurry.
“Swoosh~”
When Su Hongxin saw the person, he ran out like the wind and shouted in surprise: "Madam, it's really you!"
When He Fangyi saw Su Hongxin, a hint of moisture appeared in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. When Su Hongxin approached, she handed the child in her arms to the old woman behind her, then reached out and twisted Su Hongxin's ear fiercely.
"You're such a good fellow, Su Hongxin. You came to Xiliang without saying a word, and even made me bring my child all the way to find you."
"Oh, my lady, it hurts!" Su Hongxin stood on his tiptoes and begged for mercy. "My lady, I was wrong. I already regret it. Please let me go."
