Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 402 Settling Down

"This is a new pair of shoes that your grandmother and I just made. Try them on first to see if they fit you."

An Nian took the cloth shoes and said, "Thank you."

Then he took it to the bed and started trying it on.

After putting it on, I walked back and forth on the ground.

"Yes, the length and size are just right."

"Okay, okay, as long as it fits. Auntie doesn't have anything to give you, so I just hope you can wear it every year and embark on a successful career path!"

"Well, thank you, aunt."

An Yue stopped what she was doing, turned her head and said, "Aunt, I hope you won't be like that again. With so many people in the room, who has it easier than who?"

"If you want to live peacefully in this family, then let go of the past and face everything in front of you."

"If I were like you, always holding on to the past, do you think you and your grandmother deserve to stay in this house?"

The aunt nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Yueyue is absolutely right."

After packing her things, An Yue put on her backpack, put on her bag, and started preparing to go out.

The family members put down their work and walked each other to the gate of the yard one by one.

An Yue specifically reminded her, "Sister-in-law, your due date is just around the corner. From now on, cooking and washing will be done by my aunt, grandmother, and Chunzhi."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Yueyue." Meng Xiu'er responded with a smile.

"Grandma, aunt, I've been away for the past two days. I hope you don't forget the original intention of entering my house."

"Daniu Ale, the sweet potatoes in the field have almost been dug up. After digging them up, you should pick out the good sweet potatoes and the cut ones, and then separate them."

"Also, the weather will get colder and colder. I don't want you to go out when it's too cold. If you have time in the next two days, go to the back mountain and chop some dead wood and store it away."

"Okay, Miss, we've all remembered it." Ale nodded in response.

Then, she glanced around at everyone and reminded them, "Everyone, please be careful these two days and pay more attention to what's going on in and outside the courtyard."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Then, An Yue and An Nian looked at each other, turned around resolutely, and walked towards the road.

The brother and sister came to the main road. They went out late today and did not meet Li Wu's ox cart.

So the brother and sister had to walk towards Shijing Town.

When I arrived at the entrance of the town, I saw Li Wu parked there.

Li Wu said jokingly with a smile: "Hey! You siblings came out late today, but you didn't catch the train!"

An Yue raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, and replied with a smile: "That's what uncle said!"

Li Wu looked at An Yue and An Nian carrying their bags and asked with interest, "Seeing what you are wearing, are you going on a long journey?"

“Yes, we are going to the county town.”

Li Wu scratched his head in confusion: "Go to the county town?"

"Yes! I want to take Nian Nian to familiarize herself with the examination room."

Li Wu suddenly remembered that it was the time for the children's examination in the county.

He patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Ah! Look how stupid I am!"

Li Wu smiled innocently and said, "Then I wish you to be on the list every year."

An Nian quickly responded sensibly, "Thank you, uncle."

"Then uncle, let's talk about it another day. We are leaving first!"

After saying that, An Yue took An Nian's hand and walked towards the main street.

The brother and sister came to the cattle and horse resting station, preparing to rent a mule cart to the county town.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Miss An Yue."

An Yue glanced around and saw a man in silk clothes walking towards her not far away.

"Shopkeeper Wang, long time no see." An Yue quickly led An Nian to greet him.

Shopkeeper Wang walked up to the siblings with a smile on his face and asked, "Miss An Yue, long time no see! Are you going to the county town?"

"Yes, my brother will take the exam tomorrow! Let's go to the county town and get settled first, so as not to be late in the morning."

"Yes, yes, the girl is always methodical and well-planned."

"Boss, you are so kind. Well... please go ahead and do your work. We won't bother you any more."

After An Yue finished speaking, she began to bow sideways.

Shopkeeper Wang said quickly, "Miss, wait a minute, don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say first."

"Oh? What else do you want to tell me? Please tell me."

"I am also planning to go to the county town. If you don't mind, come with me!"

After saying this, Shopkeeper Wang made a "please" gesture with his hand.

An Yue knew that meeting Manager Wang here today might be a coincidence, but there might also be other reasons.

At this moment, if I rejected him outright and made him lose face, it would not be good for my future development in the town.

But when I think about it, what should I do if he asks for a new cooking secret recipe?

In this era, due to the many limitations of ingredients and seasonings, there are not many delicious dishes.

If I give all my savings to him, how will I survive in the future?

If I don't give it to him, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive in this town in the future.

In a few breaths, her mind analyzed quickly.

After thinking it over, he finally replied with a smile: "Thank you very much, Manager Wang."

Afterwards, the brother and sister followed Manager Wang into the carriage.

The carriage was spacious. The brother and sister sat on one side, and Manager Wang sat on the other.

The coachman waved the whip and the carriage sped along the road. The atmosphere inside the carriage fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, Shopkeeper Wang cleared his throat twice and broke the silence.

He smiled and said, "Miss, are you taking your brother to the county town for the children's exam?"

"Yes." An Yue nodded and then asked, "Why is Shopkeeper Wang coming to town today?"

"Well! I have nothing to do these days, so I came to see how they are cleaning."

"Oh, by the way, has the young lady figured out any new recipes recently?"

An Yue's heart tightened, as expected, he came after all.

She smiled and said, "I have been thinking about a new recipe, but it's not mature yet, so I put it aside."

"Well, the girl is always smart, I think she will figure it out soon."

An Nian sat aside, lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the carriage.

Afterwards, in order to get closer to the guests, Shopkeeper Wang started talking about some topics.

The carriage bumped along the way and soon arrived at the county town.

"Miss, if you need my help after you arrive in the county, please feel free to ask."

"Okay, thank you so much, Manager Wang."

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said modestly, "Then when you are free someday, don't forget to come to the restaurant and have a seat."

An Yue said generously: "Of course, we will take our leave now."

After getting off the carriage, the brother and sister began to look for an inn to stay.

The brother and sister went to several inns, but they all said there were no available rooms.

An Yue couldn't help but say: "It seems that all the people who participated in the child examination in the county have settled in the county early."
