Lady Yun touched Xiao An, whose throat had changed and there was light fluff around his mouth. He had grown into a big boy. He laughed and cried at the same time: "I've grown up, I've all grown up!"
Xiao An hugged the short lady Yun and smiled: "Aunt Yun, I am already an adult!"
He is now sixteen years old. He is assisted by Han Ming and shopkeeper Mu, and is taken care of by Zhou Zhu and his wife. He is responsible for two carton factories, two feed factories, cold storage, and a restaurant in Suijin Town.
Xiao An knows that these are the efforts of her second sister, and she must study hard even if she doesn’t understand.
In addition, the people he came into contact with around him were all elites from various businesses, and Xiao An grew up quickly, and he was more promising than Song Zhenping, who had already determined his character and was addicted to his small family.
Not only did she learn to read the account books, but she also learned how to treat people and things. She acted like a master. She was no longer the poor little girl in Mrs. Yun's memory who shivered at night and had to be held to sleep.
Everyone is happy in Mida City, but the one who is most unhappy is probably Black Gold.
It also came to Mida City.
Hei Jin likes fun and children, but being surrounded by four dolls every day and drooling all over his body, he is already afraid of children.
Every day, I either squatted on the roof of the city lord's palace without getting off, or ran out with Shitou Abu and others. If not, I could just follow Zhao Tingduo to the military camp to smell the sweat, since I didn't want to stay in the inner house anyway.
Outside Mida City, Wudan and Abu Xiaoan Shitou took the guard boy to the river, where there was a bathing and changing room specially prepared for them.
Nowadays, the crowds outside the city are as crowded as those in the city, especially at a high platform by the river, where there are even more people.
Everyone knelt on the ground devoutly and prayed constantly.
A large windmill over five feet tall stands in the green water, spanning most of the river bank.
The long blades above rotate slowly, but the water wheel below rotates very fast, scooping up the clear and shallow river water into the wooden barrel, and then pouring it into the water tank.
It has been two years. Logically speaking, the people in Mida Valley should be used to the windmill, but their desire to worship is getting stronger and stronger.
Under the sun, a rainbow stretched across the river, embracing the tall windmill.
Such a complete Hongqiao will not disappear. It lasts from morning to night, giving people a shock like a miracle.
After the windmill was successfully erected, people discovered that as long as the weather was sunny and sunny, a rainbow would definitely appear, and rumors immediately spread.
It was said that the windmill in Mida City was a miracle blessed by God, and there was a rush of people running over to see the rainbow at the waterwheel.
The rumors became more and more popular, and people from the surrounding tribes also felt proud to go to the Mida River to pray devoutly.
The rainbow brings auspiciousness from the sky!
The crowd knelt down one after another and shouted to the gods to bless them with good weather and prosperous livestock.
Xiao An and Song Zhenping have been in the grassland for two months. Every time they see this scene when they go out of the city, they blush and their hearts beat.
They already know that this is a miracle created by their own family, and they always feel uncomfortable being worshiped like this.
Wudan and the others were naturally accustomed to this scene.
At first, they came to the river every day to worship, but after seeing the young lady spraying a squirt of water from her mouth to create a rainbow, and each of them could spray a rainbow...even the children in the City Lord's Mansion stopped worshiping.
Already.
In the city lord's mansion, after all the noisy men in the house had left, Lady Yun packed her bags with a few women and maids.
Having lived in Mida City for more than two months, and seeing that the summer harvest of the Wu Dynasty was over, Song Zhenping and Song Dekui couldn't stay any longer and were preparing to go back.
Especially Song Dekui, who has several business contacts and has long been accustomed to hearing new news from everywhere.
Even if he met Lin Qingyuan and heard about new things on the trade road, he would still be tired of staying in the grassland for so long.
In the main courtyard, Aunt Yang Huaxia was talking around Song Liyun.
"Xiaoyun, remember to take these medicines. The candied fruits sent by your brother-in-law are the best, and there are also fresh cold melons. Stop saying the medicine is bitter and hurts people!"
Yang Hua brought over the potion she had just brewed.
Song Liyun pinched her nose and frowned: "Sister-in-law, it's still hot! I'll drink it later!"
Let’s talk about Xiao An’s marriage. I am far away from home, so my sister-in-law has to worry about it."
Yang Hua sighed.
This sister-in-law is good at everything, but she is afraid of taking medicine. She could drink a few drinks at first, but now she is cheating in every possible way, and she becomes cold in the blink of an eye.
However, there was nothing she could do to persuade her. She couldn't blame her sister-in-law for not having children, so she couldn't keep nagging her.
As a sister-in-law, she also had to worry about Xiao An's marriage.
Xiao An is already sixteen years old, and he grew up as childhood sweethearts with Dahua, the daughter of his master Zhou Zhuzhu.
The two got engaged last year, but because they were still young, they could only set a rough date for the wedding.
The sister-in-law said that it would be best to wait until Dahua turns sixteen before getting married. In this way, there is still one year left, just in time to prepare the dowry for the new house.
Baolinju should also be renovated...
Yang Hua was about to talk about repairs, but suddenly she felt something was wrong. Why was her sister-in-law leading her astray? She was now trying to persuade her to take medicine!
Song Liyun spread her hands and said innocently: "Sister-in-law, look, the medicine is cold, I'd better wait for it to warm up before drinking it!"
Yang Hua was angry and scolded: "You are also the wife of the city lord now, and you are in charge of thousands of people. How can you be more naughty than a big girl!"
On the side, Song Dekui's wife was holding her one-year-old son, who was still nursing, and was happily watching the two sisters-in-law fighting each other.
After she left Xiajiazhuang, she stayed in the grassland for a year. After she became pregnant, she bought a house in Suijin Town and lived there.
It is convenient for shopping, and it is also convenient for visiting parents in the Bahrain tribe.
Originally, Song Dekui had to pay for it, but when Xia Laosan rarely had time to spend money freely, he did not want his uncle to provide money, and he was not afraid of being found out by the Xia family, so he bought the real estate by himself.
He grew cold melons in the Bahrain tribe and brought them to Ruijin Town, where they were sold out by merchants.
Money makes people bold, and when their pockets are bulging, their backs will become straighter. He has an only daughter in the town, and he doesn't feel bad even if he spends a lot of money.
Xia Hongxia is pampered by her parents and her husband is happy with her. She is living a hundred times better now than she was at her parents' home.
But as an only daughter, now I see Yang Hua bickering with Song Liyun, and I feel a little envious.
There are many cousins in the Xia family, but I have never seen them living in such harmony.
She just hugged her son tightly and thought about weaning the child when she went back and giving birth to some younger brothers and sisters for Dabao.
Yang Hua hadn't been quiet for long. Three-year-old Niu came waddling over with one-and-a-half-year-old Qiuqiu and one-and-a-half-year-old little Abu.
As soon as the three children arrived, the house was filled with women and maids following them, and there was a commotion again.
When it was getting late, Song Zhenping, Xiao An and the others came back.
Several people took a bath in the river at noon. Instead of returning in a hurry, they rode horses to the farm.
In the past three years, thousands of acres of fertile farmland have been reclaimed along the Mida River. Originally, there were basically no farmers on the grassland who could cultivate land.
After chaos broke out in Xuyang Grassland, Zhao Tingduo led his soldiers to search back and forth in the Gobi no-man's land between the two grasslands, and rescued many slaves who had escaped.
Those who wanted to go home were sent to Hecheng, and those who didn't want to go home were brought back to Mida City.
After a few times, there were hundreds of people who were willing to go to Mida City because their families had been broken up or they didn't want to go home for other reasons.
These people all come from the Wu Dynasty and have been familiar with farm work since childhood. Although they mostly raised livestock on the grasslands, they can become farmers with just a little training.
Thousands of acres of land needed people to take care of it, so Song Liyun built a farm for them.
Build a big house, and first live a collective life with food and clothing. If you can build a small family, then live separately.
If you want to go home on the way, you can do it. Mida City will pay for the travel expenses, but there will be no wages.
Before Song Dekui left Mida City, he asked if any of the newly rescued slaves wanted to go home, so that he could take them with him along the way.
