The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1344: Chapter 1344: Meng Yunzheng Becomes County Top Scorer

Zhao Xi is indeed experienced; he could easily understand this look and immediately widened his eyes.

Damn, has someone set their sights on his brother’s wife?

Thinking about it, he’s relieved; they’re soon heading to the capital, and won’t be back for a while, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.

Relaxed, Zhao Xi went back to take good care of his pregnant wife.

After sending Xiang Weinan on his way, Shu Yu began preparing for instant noodle production. Although the current workshop isn’t busy and has space, instant noodle production isn’t ideal in the original workshop. Looks like they’ll need to build another one.

When Shu Yu mentioned it to Lu Erbai, he immediately said it’s not a problem; he has ample manpower, so allocating some people to build the workshop won’t be an issue.

However, before the workshop construction started, Meng Yunzheng’s letter arrived.

As expected, he indeed became the top scorer.

He also mentioned that Shu Yu’s instant noodles are perfectly suitable to bring into the examination hall, fitting the name well. Besides exams, they’re also suitable for long-distance tradespeople, and if possible, this business could be developed.

This indeed aligns with Shu Yu’s thoughts.

Meng Yunzheng said he’s doing well; after the county exam, there will be the prefecture and academy exams, with the academy exam in June. He won’t be back until at least July.

Even though he’s only been away from Jiangyuan County for a month, he already misses it.

Upon reading this, Zhao Xi was quite dismissive, ”Since when have you become so homesick?”

Shu Yu collected the letter and refused to let him read it.

Zhao Xi, ”...”

Shu Yu replied to Meng Yunzheng’s letter, updating him on the situation here. Mentioning Zhao Xi is about to become a father, the two business deals with the capital, Xiang Weinan’s return to the capital, the arrival of a new county magistrate, and she wrote pages and pages eloquently.

After sending the letter, Shu Yu continued to busy herself with the workshop.

Soon, it was Zaozao’s one-month celebration.

The little girl’s full moon was also when Zhou Qiao finished her postpartum period, and Daniu discussed with her about not having a grand celebration.

However, the location changed to Shangshi Village; the washing ceremony was held at Shu Yu’s place, but it’s not quite appropriate to hold everything there, and it wouldn’t look good if word got out.

Besides, the child was a month old, and it’s time to take her home for a visit.

Fortunately, the Lu family’s house has been repaired; not only has the courtyard expanded, but the whole place has become much cleaner and tidier.

With both Lu and Zhou families together, there were at least five tables.

This time, Second Zhou and his wife came, bringing along their two sons and two daughters, insisting on riding Father Zhou’s mule carriage.

If it weren’t for the little children, there would be no space.

Upon arriving at the Lu family, seeing all the other Lu family members present, Second Zhou and Second Aunt Zhou were secretly observing them, wanting to know if, as Father Zhou said, they really had no issue with Zhou Qiao having a daughter.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, the first sight was Madam Li holding Zaozao, boasting to the village chief’s wife, ”My granddaughter, she’s really changing by the day; look at her little face, so fair and tender, that’s all thanks to me.”

The village chief’s wife echoed, ”Little Zaozao is so pretty, how’s that your credit?”

”If it weren’t for me stewing chicken and cooking fish for Daniu’s wife every day during her postpartum period to ensure she had enough milk, would Zaozao be able to eat full and well? Isn’t that my credit?”

Standing nearby, Second Aunt Zhou snickered secretly, cooking chicken and fish every day for a little girl? You’re that attentive?
