My delicate husband
Chapter 130 The snow stopped
It was not until the eighth day of the first lunar month that the heavy snow that had lasted for more than a month finally stopped. The long-lost sun felt warm on my body, but my body temperature felt even lower.
Aunt Li has not been around recently as she is taking care of Zhang Xiaohua during her confinement, so the task of cooking has been given to Brother Xu and his wife.
Zhang Xiaomo has been very nervous about Lan An recently. She has remembered Doctor Zhu's instructions thoroughly. Brother He thinks Zhang Xiaomo is a little too nervous, but he can understand it.
Zhang Xiaomo had recently checked all the account books. Lan An remembered that the business was about to start, so he gathered all the Zhang family members together and gave them a brief explanation.
"Brother He, the store will open tomorrow. Brother Xiaomo and I won't go to the county town. You and Bai Lu will check all the stores and make sure there are no omissions before opening them normally."
"Brother Guo, you and Brother Xue should be more careful. The jewelry shop must have a new product every month. You should also keep an eye on the rouge shop. Tell me if there are any popular styles or colors in other shops."
"Brother Xu, please help me deliver 30 dan of rice, 20 dan of wheat to the rice shop, and 30 dan of potatoes. The potatoes are priced at 6 wen per pound. Other than that, you can prepare for the wedding."
"Brother Man and Brother Han, please help Brother Xu deliver the food. You can also help with their wedding."
After Lan An gave the instructions, he let everyone go about their own business. He had been feeling unwell recently, feeling a little sleepy and dizzy. He couldn't sleep well without Zhang Xiaomo, and basically just slept in Zhang Xiaomo's arms.
Today, Brother Xia sent a letter, which mainly contained the dividends from the Ducheng shop, and also briefly asked about Lan An's health. Lan An asked Zhang Xiaomo to reply to the letter, talked about the business situation of the shop, and also sent the new models from the rouge shop and the jewelry shop to Brother Xia.
"Brother Xiaomo, we can ask Brother Xia to open more shops in the capital."
"An An, why do you have this idea?"
"I just think it's great for Brother Xia to be a royal merchant."
Lan An briefly expressed his opinion. Zhang Xiaomo wrote a letter to Brother Wu, and he believed that he would know what to do.
Guo Ge'er has been going to the Sun family to see the baby every day recently. At first, the baby's skin was indeed red and wrinkled, but after taking care of it for a few days, he calmed down. The baby looks like Zhang Xiaohua, not ugly, and his eyebrows and eyes are a bit like Zhang Xiaomo. He will definitely be a cool beauty in the future.
Brother Xu finally agreed with Brother Xie to postpone the wedding for half a month. They originally planned to get married on the Lantern Festival, which happened to be Brother Zhu's birthday. Brother Xie was also very satisfied, but now it was obviously too late.
Brother Xie had no objection. It was quite cold these days because the snow had melted, and the eaves and roads were wet, making it easy to slip when traveling. After careful consideration, he agreed to postpone it for half a month.
Brother Xie was still a little sad when he learned that Brother Xia would not come back. He really regarded Brother Xia as a brother, but Brother Xia still sent gifts. He prepared two paintings, two high-quality jade hairpins, and two jars of secret medicine.
Brother Xie and Brother Xu blushed when they saw the secret medicine. Lan An was also very curious, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaomo.
After seeing Brother Xia's gift, Lan An was a little confused. She didn't know what gift to give to Brother Xu. Although she asked the jewelry shop to order a three-piece set for Brother Kong and the sheets and quilts were also prepared, these were all betrothal gifts for Brother Kong.
After struggling for a long time, Lan An suddenly thought that he was sure that Brother Xu would like this gift very much.
"Brother Xiaomo, Brother Xu is getting married at the end of the month."
"An An, I understand."
"I have something I want to discuss with you."
"An An, I understand what you mean."
Brother Xu has always been a slave. It was inconvenient for him to go to the county government to change his place of origin, which was very troublesome. So Lan An directly registered Brother Xu's household registration in Lianhua Village so that he could be with them.
Now that Big Brother Xu was getting married, his household registration had to be changed. Without Lan An's advice, Zhang Xiaomo took the indenture and slavery documents from the small box and went to the village chief to separate Big Brother Xu's household registration and transfer Big Brother Kong's household registration to Big Brother Xu's name.
All the materials and documents have been prepared. I wrote a letter to Brother Wu, asking him to change Brother Xu's citizenship to a good citizen. It will be done in about a week. I will give it to Brother Xu as a wedding gift. He will definitely like it.
"Then what should we give them, Brother Xie?"
"An An, don't worry, I'll make the arrangements."
"Brother Xiaomo, do you have any idea?"
"Yes, give him some fine wine and a set of exquisite china."
"Wow, Brother Xiaomo is really amazing."
"I'll make them a big cake."
"An An, didn't you say that the cake would only be made for me?"
"Brother Xiaomo, of course a wedding needs a cake, but as long as it's food I make it, Brother Xiaomo will always take the first bite."
"An An, I don't want you to work too hard."
"Brother Xiaomo, it's okay. Let's go see Zhang Xiaohua in a few days."
"An An, don't force it."
"It's okay, I don't hate her that much anymore."
The long-lost sun has arrived, and the villagers of Lianhua Village have all come out to visit each other. The children can't wait to go out and play on the village roads because they have been locked up at home for too long.
The children have gained more or less weight during this Chinese New Year. They are all wearing new clothes and look quite festive. It is the first time that Lan An realizes that there are so many children in Lianhua Village.
The villagers of Lianhua Village are generally doing well. No villagers died and no houses were damaged. They just didn't have enough food and firewood. They could barely make ends meet by living frugally. Now that the snow has stopped, they can go to the county town to buy supplies. The most difficult time is finally over.
The other villages were also doing well. Everyone was very grateful to County Magistrate Wu. For the first time, they had hope in the court and looked forward to the future. The cold winter was over, and spring would surely come.
This year is the one that Brother Wu hates the most. He knows that he and Brother Xia will never have another chance, and they can only meet at the top in the future, so he has to work harder.
After seeing Zhang Xiaomo's letter, he had a plan in mind and briefly explained it to Bai Lu. He planned to build river transportation and repair the roads. He wanted to develop not only the planting industry but also the commerce.
Brother Wu has always worked very hard. He didn't believe in fate before, but now he does. This snowstorm made him realize that life is still too fragile and people cannot be too selfish.
He thanked God for blessing him by letting him meet An Ge'er and Zhang Xiaomo, and allowing him to have the person he wanted most in his best years. Now he just needed to accumulate strength, and when he was strong enough, he would be able to have Xia Runzhi.
Brother Wu worked very hard and slept only two or three hours a day. He did not dare to go home because there was no one he wanted to see at home. It was too lonely and no one would leave a light on for him.
Thanks to Brother Wu's efforts, the disaster in Yunling County was well controlled, and the people in the city lived and worked in peace and contentment. Brother Wu did not relax for a moment. He sorted and read the documents of the six counties under the jurisdiction of Youbei County. He was determined to develop the industries of the other counties like Jinling County.
Brother Wu decided to bow to his father. For the first time, he admitted his mistake to Prime Minister Wu and promised that he would rely on his own strength to return to the court. He spent three years drafting an agreement with Prime Minister Wu. He wanted to become strong and realize the peaceful and prosperous sea and clear rivers that Brother Xia wanted.
The snow outside stopped and the sun came out. He was still unwilling to give up and wanted to try again. If he succeeded, he would be lucky, if he failed, he would die.
Bai Lu has been very busy recently, and he decided to train a few more confidants. He went to the slave market and selected five reliable children, and sent them to Zi Shu, asking him to help train them for three months. By then, he would only need to lead them for a period of time, and they would be able to stand on their own.
Brother He has been visiting various shops recently. Things are going well so far. The sales of potatoes are very good. Chuxia Rice Shop has been very popular in the county recently. Not only is the quality good, but the price is also cheap. Other rice shops in Yunling County have also had to lower their prices. After all, they don't have such a powerful background.
