Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Shen Lingzhu felt very guilty towards her grandfather. Last year, the old man rarely came home from the provincial capital and did not spend the New Year in his hometown.

Now that there are three food shops, the Huang family only holds a 30% stake, which is really not much, even for a close grandfather. If it were someone else, they would have split up early.

So she continued, "When the time comes, Li Laojun will stay in the prefectural capital, and you will be in charge of the food store in the county town.

Uncle, please make more trips between the prefectural capital and the county seat."

"Are you all planning to move to Beijing?" Grandpa didn't express his opinion immediately.

Shen Lingzhu nodded and then shook her head: "My aunt and my younger brothers and sisters will come, and my second sister and eldest brother will be in charge of farming and clearing wasteland at home.

The newly planted peach trees and grape seedlings need careful care.

Originally, we planned for Grandpa Li to go to Beijing, and my father stayed in his hometown, but this trip was too expensive, so he wanted to make a few trips to sell medicinal herbs."

Grandma thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine. When I return to the county town, I can switch shifts with your uncle and look after you and your siblings.

But it would be better for your father to just stay calm and do his business in the capital. He won’t be able to start selling medicinal herbs without capital.”

"This is just his idea. Uncle may not agree." After saying this, Shen Lingzhu asked in a questioning tone: "You know I can go back at any time?"

"Okay, stop coaxing me. You have been following Dazhuzi since you were a child. Now that she is engaged, she won't stay at home for many years. If you don't get closer to her, you will miss the chance in the future." Grandpa knew very well what his little niece was thinking.

Like her elder brother, she was raised by her mother-in-law since she was a child. She is not attached to her parents and is not used to their constraints.

He said, "I don't believe that you would give up halfway when you first wanted to grow peaches."

"Hehe, grandpa is the one who understands me best. The peach trees you asked someone to move to the foot of the mountain will bear fruit this year. I really want to see how many fruits they will bear after they are married." The most important thing was that she didn't want to stay in the capital and attend someone's banquet with her aunt.

Because those days when Madam Dou was studying, she was exhausted.

Shen Lingzhu imagined peach blossoms blooming and peach fruits hanging on the branches. Unfortunately, not all the adult peach trees transplanted back to Beigou could adapt.

Even if we invite the Taoist priest from Qixing Temple and Uncle Niu to help, we cannot prevent one or two of the trees from not bearing fruit.

So when watermelons are in season again in May and June, the peach fruits at the foot of the mountain are only enough to satisfy the people who continue to do carpentry work and their own families.

The only consolation is that the peaches are very sweet.

Shen Lingzhu looked at the basket of peaches that couldn't even be filled and sighed, "We're going to Beijing in a few days, and watermelons are hard to transport, but right now I can't even get a big basket of peaches together."

"It's not going to be easy to get to the capital even if I gather them together. I'm traveling day and night, and it will take at least three or four days. If the peaches are not rotten by then, I'll take your surname." Shen Xianzhu passed the county government's exams twice this year, and he could even make a joke when he was in a good mood.

Shen Lingzhu glanced at his elder brother standing on the herringbone ladder and said, "You have the same last name as me now."

"Hahaha." Shen Xianzhu handed over two more peaches, wanted to touch the sweat but retracted his hand. Although the peach hairs were not obvious, they could still prick people.

He came down the ladder and let his sister wash his hands with water. "Father and mother won't ask for too much from us to send to the capital."

Shen Lingzhu still wanted her uncle to spend less money and do more work in Beijing. "The peaches are delicious, and I originally wanted them to give them away as gifts.

It seems we can only focus on the grapes and make more wine this year."

"Speaking of grapes, ever since the Geng family learned that Miaozhu and Chen Qianhu were engaged, they have withdrawn from sharing the profits from the grapes grown in Grape Valley with us this year.

But last year, the Geng family gave us several hundred kilograms of wood they bought from other counties, so we have to repay that favor." Shen Xianzhu looked out at the carpentry shed, where they were making more than just bellows, rocking chairs, and wooden boxes; they were now also making tables, beds, windows, and doors.

Shen Lingzhu reacted quickly: "Is their family here to ask for help?"

Shen Xianzhu nodded: "Well, Boss Geng has taken a fancy to the carpenter Chang Youding.

But You Ding is already engaged, and I'm wondering if I can marry the Geng family's granddaughter to another brother."

Shen Lingzhu asked: "He, shouldn't he not ask about Brother Youding's engagement?

Is it a retreat to advance, deliberately picking someone who can't get married, and then looking for the Shen family's son."

Shen Xianzhu couldn't help but laugh and said, "What you said to Miaozhu is very similar."

"That's easy. My eldest brother hasn't gotten engaged yet, so it's not appropriate for him to act as a matchmaker.

It's better to leave this matter to Second Grandpa and the others." As soon as Shen Lingzhu finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that his eldest brother's ears were red.

She observed for a moment and said, "Eldest Aunt asked us to go to Beijing together. Could it be that she is arranging a marriage for my eldest brother?

Which girl is this? How old is she now? When will she get married?

"Not sure." Shen Xianzhu didn't tell the truth, and Shen Lingzhu could see it.

So she picked up her basket and ran to the house at the foot of the mountain.

……

Shen Lingzhu leaned against the window again to see who it was, but it turned out to be just a few herbal boys picking and drying herbs.

But they didn't have room to talk anymore, so she handed over the palm-leaf fan and said, "I'll go ask about the price of saltpeter. Let Auntie cool down first."

"Okay, go ahead." Shen Miaozhu took the fan and fanned her aunt. She didn't stop her because it was sometimes easier for children to find out things.

Relying on her age advantage, Shen Lingzhu had become familiar with several medicine boys in the past few days, so she got the answer as soon as she asked, but she asked more about the big stores with a good reputation in Beijing.

After a while, the little medicine boys told her everything they knew.

All that remains is to wait for my eldest brother to come back and think of a way to sell the ice-making method.

Of course Shen Lingzhu would not wait in vain. She took the opportunity to let the medicine boy carry things and came to the front hall.

Looking around, there are so many people queuing up for medical treatment. Why didn't she study medicine before? Economic engineering was not used in ancient times, oh no, it has not been used in modern times.

As he was thinking this, he had already reached the main entrance of Jirentang Clinic. As soon as he stepped out, his uncle, looking exhausted, appeared in front of him. "What are you going to do?"

"Uncle, let me see if my brother is back." Shen Lingzhu found that his uncle had changed his Confucian robe into linen clothes. Did he go to the pawnshop?

Shen Huai turned his niece's head away so that she wouldn't see the embarrassment in his eyes.

He nodded to the infirmary owner who was looking over, then led Shen Lingzhu through the front hall and into the backyard before saying, "If there are beggars on the street, don't leave the gate.

Is your aunt awake yet? We'll head home once the heat subsides."

"The doctor said he'll wake up soon." Shen Lingzhu watched him stride towards the ward and gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle, have you asked for a car?"

Shen Huai's body stiffened slightly and his steps paused. Once he lost power, it was difficult for him to have relatives. The master who had helped him had retired two years ago. His fellow villagers and friends had already tried their best to send money to help his wife who needed precious medicinal herbs. He could not bother them anymore.

As for those I used to chat with, most of them were afraid of being implicated, so there was no need to bother myself.

But now, even trying to find a caravan from my hometown to take a ride has been rejected. The feeling is hard to get over. "Let's settle outside the city first."
