Chapter 69 Xiao Jing returns to Beijing
Now is the busy farming season, and every household is busy farming. Not many people need to make furniture. Li Dazhu has not received any work for a long time. If he could take over the job of making a water tanker today, he wouldn't have to worry about having no income this month.
Li Dazhu thought about it and couldn't help but look at Yuan Chuyi. But Yuan Chuyi had already pointed at him and said:
"Boss, these big brothers have stayed, let them take over this job, and there is no need for that big brother!"
When Li Dazhu heard this, he walked out dejectedly without even asking his boss to speak.
The boss looked at Li Dazhu's back, then looked at Yuan Chuyi, "Ms. Yuan, this Craftsman Li's craftsmanship is quite good, don't you think about it?"
"No need!" Yuan Chuyi said with a smile, looking at the other craftsmen, "If they can't do it, just find another helper, as long as it's not Craftsman Li just now!"
As long as there is money to be made, everyone will do the work, and the boss readily agreed to Yuan Chuyi's request.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I paid the deposit for the waterwheel, and after settling the matter, I left the shop and prepared to leave. Li Dazhu saw her and took a few steps forward to talk to her, but Yuan Chu walked past him without even looking at him. He had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips and sighed in annoyance.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, they came out of the alley and came to the street. They saw a group of people wearing exotic clothes walking towards them in a mighty manner. Xuan Yue and Yun Xuan hurriedly protected her aside.
Even though there were a huge crowd of onlookers blocking the front, Yuan Chuyi still saw at a glance that the person riding a tall horse and leading the front team was Xiao Jing.
Needless to say, this must be the South Vietnamese peacemaking mission.
Xiao Jing also noticed that Youdao was looking at him. He turned around and saw Yuan Chuyi and the three of them behind the crowd at a glance. He waved to them and gestured to Xuan Yue. Xuanyue understood and nodded, and he led the team to continue to the inn in the city.
After the envoy team left, Xuan Yue said to Yuan Chu: "Madam, I asked us to go back to the house and wait for him!"
I haven't been to the Xiao Mansion on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. When I arrived at the mansion, I saw that it was a three-story house with a large area, but the furnishings in the mansion were very simple and empty. There are not many servants in the mansion, just Jiang Xue, a cook and two servants responsible for sweeping. Although Qiao Fukun is the general manager of the mansion, he is not at home often, and he is not here now.
Jiang Xue and others kowtowed respectfully to Yuan Chuyi and recognized him as their master. Yuan Chuyi did not hesitate and accepted their courtesy generously, and then asked them to stand up and speak.
While several people were talking, Xiao Jing came back with Fang Yuanyan. He looked at Yuan Chuyi with eyes full of joy, and everyone else stepped back in awe.
Xiao Jing stepped forward to help Yuan Chuyi sit down, and touched her belly along the way, his eyes filled with joy.
"I was thinking of going to Xishan Village to find you tonight! I didn't expect you to come into the city!"
"Come to do something." Yuan Chuyi looked at him, "Are you going back to Beijing tomorrow?"
Xiao Jing nodded, "Take care of yourself and the child, and come over when I return to Beijing to arrange everything. Try to get there before the child is born!"
"It doesn't matter, just go about your business and don't worry about us. We will be fine here!" Yuan Chuyi doesn't rely on him now. Whether he is around or not has little impact on her.
Xiao Jing looked at her and frowned, "Aren't you worried about me at all?"
"Ah!" Yuanchu's face flushed, "You are such a big person, what can I worry about you!" She didn't want him to see that she was worried about him! In her heart, he is still just the child's father.
"I remember the last time I had to rush to the border overnight, you were worried that someone would ambush me on the road!"
"But all my worries are unnecessary!" At that time, she was really worried about a few of them, but he still refused to listen and insisted on going on his way.
"I want to hear what you have to say now." Xiao Jing leaned on the table and looked at her with his chin in his hands.
Yuan Chuyi was amused by his childish behavior again, "Okay, as long as you know that the child and I are waiting for you to come back safely, there is no need to say more nonsense!"
Xiao Jing immediately beamed when he heard her words, "Don't worry, I will come back safely!" He said happily and took out a jade bottle from his arms, "This is the muscle-building ointment I asked Wu Yan to specially prepare for you. It can remove the scars on your face!”
Xiao Jing would feel guilty every time he saw this scar.
Yuan Chuyi happily took it. She had already removed the scar. Although she doesn't care what others think of her, she also loves beauty, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Jing looked at Yuan Chuyi's big belly and said leisurely: "If it weren't for your physical inability to travel, I would really want to take you both back to the capital!"
Yuan Chuyi waved his hand towards him, "Don't forget what you promised me!"
Xiao Jing sighed, "Then you stay at the house and cook me a dinner tonight. Think of it as a farewell party for me."
"Okay. Whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you!"
Xiao Jing reported several of Yuan Chu Yi's specialty dishes. Yuan Chu Yi, with the help of the cook Fat Brother, quickly cooked a sumptuous dinner. Xuan Yue even took Fifteen Sixteen and the others over. , the family had a good reunion dinner, and sent Xiao Jing and others off together early the next morning.
"Take care on the road, my child and I will wait for you to come back!" Before leaving, although the two of them didn't have much to say goodbye, Yuan Chuyi couldn't help but tell Xiao Jing again.
"Well, don't worry, I will come back to you and the child unscathed!" Xiao Jing promised, looking at Yuan Chuyi again, and after a while he finally got on his horse and took Jiang Xue and Fang Wuyan with him. The horse went after the mission.
After sending Xiao Jing away, Yuan Chuyi suddenly felt a little disappointed in her heart, but this feeling of loss was quickly forgotten by her. When she returned to the village, she went to the village chief to tell her about the possible drought.
The village chief has lived for nearly forty years, and he has also encountered this drought. But if this drought really comes, he doesn't know how to deal with it.
"What can you do to deal with it?"
"The best way to deal with it is to dig a reservoir to store water while the river level is still high!" Yuan Chuyi said, "I will also have people dig on the edge of my 300 acres of wasteland!"
"Oh, it seems that's the only way it can be!" the village chief sighed, "I will gather the villagers later and tell everyone about the situation and see what everyone's opinions are!"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she didn't care what the villagers would do. Anyway, she led people to dig ponds and store water in her fields the next day. The village chief also summoned the villagers and told them responsibly about the possibility of drought, asking everyone to prepare in advance.
However, many people in the village felt that this was groundless and baseless, so they did not take it to heart at all. It was even more impossible for them to dig ponds on the ground. Only a few families saw the village chief's family and Yuanchu's family digging, and they followed suit.
