The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 177 Returning to Li Family Village

The couple had a good night's dream. When they got up in the morning, Mrs. Xia had already prepared breakfast.Li Mingli and Li Mingzhi were already sitting and waiting at the table.

"Third and fourth, you two got up really early." Li Mingren greeted with a smile.

Li Mingli said with sad eyes: "Brother got up too late!"

Li Mingzhi: "We are all hungry, let's eat quickly!"

Li Mingren chuckled: "Oh, I was too tired from the journey yesterday, so I got up late. Let's eat!"

Zhao Yunlan smiled and didn't speak.

After the whole family had dinner, Zhao Yunlan planned to go to Liu's small courtyard with Li Mingren. Before returning from town yesterday, they had already handed over invitations to Liu's house, so today the couple had to go to town again.

Zhao Yunlan asked sister-in-law Xia to pack some mountain goods, put some bacon in it, caught four chickens, and drove the ox cart to the town.The husband and wife came back yesterday in a rented carriage, and Sun Daniu stayed in Fucheng for the convenience of Wang and the others, so Li Mingren acted as Zhao Yunlan's coachman.

When they arrived in the town, Zhao Yunlan first went to Qingyabuzhuang to deliver the things and said hello to shopkeeper Wu, and then the two came to the small courtyard of the Liu family.

"Come in quickly, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Mrs. Wang said happily.

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Didn't I just see it last time in Fucheng."

Mrs. Wang: "You were so busy at that time, I didn't talk to you properly. How is it? Is everything okay in Fucheng?"

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "It's thanks to Prefect Liu that everything went well." Zhao Yunlan knew that Prefect Liu had secretly helped a lot, which made it possible for Zhao Yunlan or the Li family to walk safely in Fucheng.

Li Mingren followed Old Master Liu to the study room. Old Master Liu was reading the test paper written by Li Mingren, with no expression on his face and no words.

Li Mingren was so nervous that he could feel his palms sweating.

"Well, it's made great progress. However, there are still some problems with your writing..."

Li Mingren listened carefully to Mrs. Liu's explanation, writing while listening.

On Zhao Yunlan's side, she continued to chat with Mrs. Wang.

"Madam, let me measure your body!" Zhao Yunlan asked cautiously.

Mrs. Wang asked suspiciously: "Oh? Are you going to make clothes for an old woman like me?"

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Recently, I came up with a new idea, which is clothes made of duck down. I have let my family Ruiwen try it out, and it is very warm to wear. I want to make two sets for the old man and old lady."

Mrs. Wang smiled, and did not politely decline.

"You don't need to measure it. I just measured it a while ago. I'll ask Mother Fang to write you the size of me and the old man."

Zhao Yunlan: "Then thank you Mrs. Wang!"

Mrs. Wang smiled: "Could it be that you got it wrong, the old man and I should thank you."

The two talked and laughed, and the couple stayed in the small courtyard of the Liu family and had lunch before leaving.

Li Mingren: "Every time I listen to Mrs. Liu's lectures, I really feel clear-headed, and many doubts before will be solved one by one."

Zhao Yunlan: "That means you are still far behind, Mr. Xiang, so you can't be lazy anymore."

Li Mingren felt like lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.

Zhao Yunlan came to the hot and sour noodle shop, and wanted to give everyone the year-end awards that should be given out. This is Zhao Yunlan's long-standing rule.At the end of the year, everyone is looking forward to this day.

"Because I'm rushing to Fucheng this year, I will give out year-end bonuses to everyone earlier." Zhao Yunlan was talking about this with shopkeeper Lin.

Shopkeeper Lin smiled: "The big guy is so happy. I'll go and call everyone!"

Zhao Yunlan: "Wait a minute, shopkeeper Lin, I have something to ask you."

Shopkeeper Lin stood still, saluted and said, "What is Mr. Zhao's order?"

Zhao Yunlan shook her head and smiled and said, "Don't be so serious, shopkeeper Lin doesn't need to be nervous. That's right, I plan to open a hot pot branch in Xihe County next year, and I want to transfer you to the county as the shopkeeper. What do you think?"

Shopkeeper Lin's eyes were a little excited: "Boss Zhao, this... I am naturally willing, but who will manage this hot and sour noodle shop?" After working with Zhao Yunlan for so long, shopkeeper Lin also knows Zhao Yunlan's personality, so Zhao Yun When Lan brought this up, shopkeeper Lin didn't hold back.

Zhao Yunlan: "What do you think of Second Cousin Wang?"

Shopkeeper Lin thought for a while: "Shu De is very hardworking and quick-witted. I can take him with me during this time."

Zhao Yunlan nodded in satisfaction: "Then shopkeeper Lin will work hard."

Shopkeeper Lin smiled: "I would also like to thank Zhao Dong's family for their appreciation. I will definitely work hard and live up to my boss' expectations."

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "When you arrive in the county, your wages will go up for you. The restaurant business is good, and you know we won't treat you badly."

Shopkeeper Lin nodded.

Zhao Yunlan said: "When the new year is over, go to Fucheng to find Yang Zhenggui and ask him to teach you some experience."

Shopkeeper Lin: "Yes."

After the two finished talking, Zhao Yunlan handed out everyone's year-end awards.When he was about to leave, he told shopkeeper Lin not to discuss these arrangements, and even Wang Shude couldn't tell them for the time being.

Shopkeeper Lin nodded.Zhao Yunlan didn't want to say it too early, but just wanted to let everyone feel at ease for a new year. After all, they will be transferred after the next year, so if they say it early, it will still have some impact on the hot and sour powder team.

Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren returned to Lijia Village, and after a short rest, Li Mingli went to call the female workers from the soap shop to his home.Really, Zhao Yunlan felt that the time was too rushed, and she had to plan to go back to Zhaojiagou to see Jiang and Zhao Daliang tomorrow.

"I ask you to come here so late, I hope everyone will forgive me." Zhao Yunlan said.

A group of people in the underground said, "It's not in the way!"

Zhao Yunlan smiled, seeing that Li Caixia seemed to have changed, she couldn't help asking, "Caixia, is everything okay at home?"

Li Caixia said excitedly: "It's alright, thank you boss for speaking for me at the beginning, my mother is now thanking you, luckily I insisted on staying."

Zhao Yunlan asked jokingly, "How much dowry has sister Caixia saved for herself now?"

The woman next to her couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and looked at Li Caixia's face flushed.

"Sister-in-law Yunlan, don't talk nonsense, I'm not in a hurry to get married!"

"Hahaha~" The women in the room laughed out loud.

Zhao Yunlan: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm here today to give you year-end awards. Everyone has worked hard this year. There is one piece of meat in this basket, and one piece of cloth per person. Of course, the most important thing is everyone. The long-awaited red envelope, come up and get it if you call your name."

The women underground were like a pot exploded, and auspicious words kept coming out.Everyone's face is full of laughter.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Zhang Mei, she and Li Caixia's family was more difficult at first, but now Zhang Mei's face is rosy, and the winter clothes are no longer thin.

"I'll be able to send my children to study in the town when I save a little more money." Zhang Mei said to Zhao Yunlan with a smile when she got the year-end red envelope.

Zhao Yunlan also smiled back.I thought in my heart that it was really great for Zhang Mei to have this idea. Regardless of how much money it would cost to study, just having this idea is good.Zhao Yunlan was lost in thought, and Ding Fengying also said: "Hey, my family also wants to send their children to study in the town. Last time Baozi went to the town to ask, and said that the town does not accept children who are enlightened. I can only go to the county. I looked for an academy in the county, but the county is far away, so studying must be more expensive."

When Zhang Mei heard Ding Fengying talk about this, her originally bright eyes were a little disappointed, but she didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly said: "It's okay, let's save money slowly, and it doesn't hurt to study later. Fortunately, life is easier now gone."

The women chattered in unison, all agreeing with these words, life is easier now.

Seeing everyone's hopeful looks, Zhao Yunlan felt happy too.It's just that there is always something in my heart that I can't let go of.
