Chapter 3406 Insufficient manpower
"I have read a lot of records related to Daqi. Almost all the famous families in Daqi are in the capital, at the feet of the emperor."
Yang Ruoqing continued.
"As for the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas to the east, there are more famous wealthy businessmen. The only fiefdom of Prince Nan is still in Licheng." Yang Ruoqing added.
Tuoba Xian said: "The person who adopted Chen'er is definitely not a wealthy businessman. He can train Chen'er to be so outstanding, both civilized and military."
"This is not the vision and vision that a businessman can have. Moreover, I think Chen'er went to the bandits' den purely for training."
"Those secret guards were sent by the person who adopted him to secretly protect Chen'er. It can be seen that that person is half cultivating and half sincerely loving Chen'er!"
"And during the year that Chen'er was in the bandits' den, that person didn't order Chen'er to go back. It can be seen that that person has a mind that is open to all rivers and is not a narrow-minded or short-sighted person."
After listening to her mother-in-law's analysis, Yang Ruoqing nodded.
"That's what I thought too. Mom, you didn't go to Xiaoyao Village and didn't see Chen'er's living room and bedroom."
"This child has good living habits. I feel happy just looking at him."
"By the way, there is also the bamboo forest where he practices every morning. The little brothers in the village couldn't tell the difference. When I first went in, I just felt that the growth of bamboo in this forest was a little different from other places."
"But Brother Zuo saw the clues."
"What's the clue?" Tuoba Xian asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Formation, there is a hidden formation in the bamboo forest. Even Brother Zuo, a descendant of the Mo family who is proficient in mechanism formations, secretly marveled when he saw the formation set up by Chen'er in the bamboo forest."
"He said that if someone else set up this formation for Chen'er, it means that Chen'er has an expert's guidance behind it."
"He also said that if this formation was set up by Chen'er himself, then my Chen'er would really be in trouble. When he grows up in the future..."
Yang Ruoqing didn't say anything anymore because she saw that Tuoba Xian and Sun were both flushed with excitement, and their feet in the heating bucket couldn't help but tremble.
Except for wiping tears of joy and relief, Mrs. Sun could not say anything else. She was only happy and excited.
Tuoba Xian took a deep breath and then asked Yang Ruoqing: "Did you tell Feng Tang about this good news?"
Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "I'll tell him when everything settles."
Tuoba Xian nodded, "Then when will you meet Chen'er again?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "When I left, I also left a self-portrait of mine to Chen'er, as well as a letter and the detailed address of our home."
"If Chen'er is willing, he will definitely come to me, but I won't sit here and wait,"
"I also told Wang Xiucai and Liu Laosan that once Chen'er returns to Xiaoyao Village after the New Year, send me a message and I will rush to see Chen'er immediately."
A two-pronged approach, nothing goes wrong.
Tuoba Xian showed an appreciative smile on her face, "Okay, Qing'er, you have thought carefully, then we will just wait for the good news."
The topic about Chen'er was finally enough to satisfy everyone. Next, it was changed to Yang Ruoqing asking about the situation at home.
She first asked the Sun family about Daan and Xiaohua's marriage, and learned that the wedding banquet went smoothly and the young couple were as good as each other, so Yang Ruoqing felt relieved.
Then he asked Tuoba Xian about the situation of the Luo family, "Have cousin Zhou Wang and sister-in-law Xiaohuan come over to pay New Year's greetings?"
Tuoba Xian smiled and said: "Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Wang came over to pay New Year greetings. After lunch, he hurried back."
"Auntie, Xiaohuan and the children haven't come yet?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
When she mentioned this, Tuoba Xian smiled even brighter.
"It was said that Xiao Huan was pregnant with her second child. She was just three months old and the fetus was not very stable, so she didn't dare to let her come over."
"Oh?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, her face filled with joy.
"That's great. What about uncle? Have you paid a return visit?" she asked again.
Tuoba Xian said: "I haven't gone yet. Your uncle seems to have said that after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, he will wait for Dajie to take up a post in Huguang County before going to Zhoujia Village to pay New Year's greetings."
Speaking of Dajie's appointment in Huguang County, Yang Ruoqing also remembered it.
We got the news years ago that Mu Zichuan was appointed magistrate of Huguang County, and then Mu Zichuan petitioned the emperor to promote a great scholar as his assistant.
Then His Majesty made a favor and appointed Sun Dajie as the Magistrate of Huguang County, enjoying the royal salary.
Therefore, Dajie is now a person who eats the royal food. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, that is, tomorrow, he and Muzichuan will go to Huguang County to take office.
"Then when will we leave tomorrow? Are my godmother and aunt planning to hold a wedding banquet?" she asked again.
Tuoba Xian turned her attention to Sun, who must know about this arrangement.
Sure enough, Mrs. Sun raised her head and said with a smile: "Your godmother has no plans to do it. She said that Zichuan will leave for Huguang County early tomorrow morning."
"Dajie's side, your aunt and others originally wanted to hold a practice banquet, but Dajie didn't allow it."
"He said that the county magistrate takes office in a low-key manner, so there is no need for him, the county magistrate, to hold a practice banquet. So, it is estimated that the two of them will leave early tomorrow morning."
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Well, Dajie's concerns are reasonable. He doesn't care about such a meal. The new official takes office as a three-pointer. The two of them join forces and get the job done first."
"By the way, mother, where are Huang Mao and Xiao Shunzi? Do you want to follow them?" she asked again.
Sun thought for a moment and said: "What your aunt means is that she wants Huang Maohe to take care of Dajie's daily life, while Xiao Shunzi will stay at home and she will take care of him."
"How can my aunt have time to take care of Xiao Shunzi? There are so many pigs in the pig farm..."
There are dozens of pigs in the pig farm. The pigs have big appetites and need to eat two pig meals a day. This is a very arduous task.
Just because pigs eat a lot, they poop a lot. Shoveling the pig pen and cleaning pig manure every day is also an extremely arduous task.
Just these two things almost kept my aunt and uncle stuck in the pig pen all day long, with no time left to do anything else.
So in the past, Huang Mao and Xiaojie took care of the housework, laundry and cooking together.
After Huangmao became pregnant and gave birth to a child, she became very tired of taking care of the child by herself, so all the housework fell on Xiaojie.
In addition, since Mrs. Sun passed away, Old Sun's body and bones are not as strong as before, and the family does not have enough manpower to work.
In this case, if Xiao Shunzi is left behind, who will take care of it?
Seeing what Yang Ruoqing was thinking, Sun said: "Your aunt said that if you can make some money, please bring two people back to help your uncle manage the pig farm."
"She freed up her hands to focus on taking care of her grandson, allowing Huang Mao to focus on taking care of Dajie."
