Xia Yang was very tempted by Xia Tian's suggestion of moving to the county town.
After dinner that night, I told my family about this idea.
In the end, no one objected.
It seems that he is not the only one who wants to escape from the control of Old Lady Xia!
Xia Yue originally wanted to go to the county town with her son-in-law and Xia Yang, but she thought that her in-laws might not be willing to let them go so far.
When Xia Yang said that he would give the town's business to her and her husband, she weighed the pros and cons and decided to stay.
It just so happens that they don’t have to give up the lease of the house in town, so starting next month, Xia Yue and her friends will pay the rent themselves, and they will also be in charge of the business of Yunlai Restaurant and Shengshi Restaurant.
Xia Tian didn't expect Xia Yang to act so quickly. After she made the proposal, he went to Lingxi County to look at houses the next day.
In less than three days, he spent three hundred and fifty taels to buy a house in Lingxi County with a shop in the front and a large yard in the back.
The house can be used for living, and food can be braised in the backyard. The shop in front can also be sold directly, without having to set up a stall on the street in the wind and rain.
During these four months of selling braised food, Xia Yang also earned seven or eight hundred taels of silver. He directly spent half of the silver to buy a house, and he didn't feel sorry at all.
Xia Tian gave her brother a thumbs-up and said, "Brother, you are incredible now. You are so decisive!"
Xia Yang smiled embarrassedly, "I just thought that you would be leaving at the end of the month. Then we can just move after sending you away."
During the last few days of summer, all edible vegetables in the vegetable garden are harvested. Those that can be dried are dried, and those that cannot be dried are directly stored.
All the useful things in the house are stored in the space. In this day and age, even the most worn-out things can be useful.
The ten chickens raised at home were at their best time for laying eggs. Five of them were kept in the space for the summer, and the other five were taken to the town to be raised by Chen.
While setting up the stall, he called Xia Yue out and told her, "Sister, after my eldest brother moves to the county town, the business of the two restaurants in the town will be given to you. I have already informed the restaurant owners.
Remember, the recipe for braised pork must be kept secret. You cannot give it to your brother-in-law or his family members even if they ask for it.
If you and your brother-in-law are too busy, you can ask someone for help, but you must keep the recipe safe by yourself.
Only if you have the right prescription yourself will your in-laws not dare to bully you.
You should also be aware of the money you earn. It is best to keep it for yourself and not let your brother-in-law have a large amount of money.
If your in-laws or brother-in-law really bully you, remember to go to the county town to find your eldest brother and let him take care of it for you."
"Okay, I'll remember it." Xia Yue couldn't help but shed tears as she listened to her sister's instructions.
Xia Tian was also a little reluctant and held Xia Yue for a long time without letting go.
Both of them knew that after this separation, they might never see each other again in this life.
After explaining everything to Xia Yue, he went to the school gate to wait for Xia Shi.
At noon, when school was over, Xia Shi came out of the school gate carrying the coarse cloth schoolbag that Chen had sewn for him. Xia Tian quickly waved to him, "Xia Shi, this way."
Xia Shi saw his fourth sister coming to pick him up and ran over happily, "Fourth sister, are you here to pick me up?"
"Yeah, are you happy?" Xia Tian rubbed Xia Shi's head.
"happy."
Xia Tian held Xia Shi's hand and walked back.
"Xiao Xiao, I'm going to the capital with your brother-in-law and may never come back."
"What should I do if I miss my fourth sister?" Xia Shi hugged Xia Tian's arm and said coquettishly.
"You can come to Beijing to find me!" Xia Tian patted his little head, "Study hard, I'll be waiting for you in Beijing!"
"Okay, I will study hard and go to the capital to find my sister."
"Make a promise, and keep your word."
"Yeah, pinky promise!"
…
Soon it was time to leave.
On the morning of the second day of September, Mu Feng drove back in a carriage. Together with Xia Tian, he moved all the packed luggage into the carriage. He took a last look at the courtyard where he had lived for half a year, then turned around and got on the carriage.
A few days ago, Xia Tian gave the things he couldn't take away to Sister Yao and Aunt Chun, and handed the house to the village chief for disposal without asking for any money.
When passing Qingquan Town, Xia Tian got off the car and went to Xia Yang's yard. He said goodbye to everyone in the family one by one, and then left reluctantly amid the tears of his family.
This separation may last a lifetime!
Although she had only spent a few months with Xia Yue and the others, she was still reluctant to leave them because they had already become a family.
When I got back on the carriage and set off again, looking at the scenery receding outside the window, the sadness of parting in my heart finally dissipated a little.
Shen Nian looked at Xia Tian’s expression gradually recovering, and felt relieved.
He didn't make any noise to disturb her, and the two of them stayed like that quietly for a long time.
The carriage traveled for two days before arriving outside Lingxi County. Mu Lin and Muchen were waiting there with a dozen people.
He did not enter the county town, but took a detour and went directly to the capital.
They traveled during the day, and when they came across a town at night, they stayed overnight, replenished some dry food, and then continued on their journey.
Sometimes, when we missed a place to rest, we would camp out in the wild for a night, trying to avoid those chasing us. In this way, after walking and stopping for more than a month, we were finally approaching the capital.
Unexpectedly, we had a smooth journey, but when we were still three days away from the capital, the boat almost capsized.
That night, they happened to stay in a small town called Youhuang Town.
In the middle of the night, Xia Tian was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door. He was still a little confused. Why was he not sleeping in the middle of the night?
She fumbled to open the door, and Shen Nian came in. Seeing that she was about to speak, she covered her mouth with her hand and said, "Don't say anything, just follow me."
