Chapter 509: Publicly funded overseas assignment and travel

"How about I ask your third and fourth uncles and get their opinions? By the way, will the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War also send people over? Then I'll ask one of them to go and replace you, okay?"

Old Marquis Pei said somewhat shamelessly. He didn't worry that his two daughters-in-law would hate him as their father-in-law. His husband finally came back to Shangjing City from outside, who would be willing to go out and suffer this again?

"The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War will indeed send people, but each department is different. Even if my third uncle and fourth uncle can go to Mobei, they can't do anything about my affairs." Rong Jin said helplessly.

"Then do you think it's okay for me to ask the emperor to let you go next year or the year after?" Old Marquis Pei glanced at Hua Lei and asked Rong Jin.

Rong Jin pursed his lips and said nothing. He didn't want to go this year, nor did he want to go next year or the year after. As long as he left Sister Hua, he didn't want to go anywhere.

"Grandfather, grandmother, don't be anxious. Husband, don't be anxious either. I have an idea." Hua Lei said, looking at the wrinkles on the forehead of Old Marquis Pei.

"Lei'er, do you have any good ideas? Just tell me, as long as it can save Jin'er, I will risk my life to ask the emperor for help." Old Marquis Pei said with shining eyes.

"Grandfather, go and get some information about this tomorrow and see what the specific situation is in each department. I think since the Ministry of Revenue will send people to Mobei, it must be that the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Forestry, and the Ministry of Water Resources will all send people to Mobei.

If my husband really has to go, it doesn't matter, I will just go with him. I will take the initiative to apply to go to Mobei.

I think many people are unwilling to go. If I take the initiative to apply, they should not reject me. If they reject me, grandfather will help me to ask the emperor for grace and let me go to Mobei. "Hua Lei said with a smile.

"Sister Hua... This, this won't work. It will be too hard for you to go to Mobei. To be honest, no one in our office has signed up to volunteer to go." Rong Jin opened his mouth in shock and refused.

"Lei'er, it's... it's bitterly cold here in Mobei. If you go..." Old Madam Pei also disapproved.

"Grandma, it's okay. If others can go, I can go too. Look, mother is living well in Mobei, so I'm sure I can live well too." Hua Lei said, holding Madam Pei's hand.

"That's different. Jin'er's mother went there to enjoy herself. She didn't need to leave the house whether it was cold or hot. She had a bunch of maids and servants to serve her.

However, if you go, according to your position, you may have to go out frequently for field work, whether it is to visit the fields or the mountains. It is very hard. It is not suitable. "Mr. Pei also disagreed.

"Grandfather, there are so many soldiers in Mobei. Even in the coldest weather, they are patrolling step by step. Father and uncle are also often outdoors. Compared to them, my job is definitely easier than theirs.

If I were asked to go to the fields, I would take a horse-drawn carriage to the edge of the fields, take a look around and then come back. If I were asked to go to the mountains and forests, I would take a horse-drawn carriage to the foot of the mountain, take a walk around and run back.

I won't be outdoors all the time." Hualei insisted, with a hint of excitement in her heart. In her previous life, she often traveled all over the country.

Although it is hard work, I see different scenery every day and I am very happy and fulfilled. In fact, I like this kind of life very much. But after arriving here, there is no such opportunity.

Over the years, Hualei has been wandering around Shangjing City. Except for two trips to Yongjia Prefecture due to business, Hualei has not traveled properly.

In the past, before getting engaged to Rong Jin, Hua Lei was still thinking that if she couldn't find the right person, she would not get married, and when Xiao Yuan grew up, she would go out on a boat trip.

If Rong Jin really has to go this time, then it would be nice to go with him. Just think of it as a government-funded overseas assignment and a trip. In the past life, the ice and snow world in Northeast China attracted many people.

"Lei'er, Mobei is really too cold. You're a girl, I'm afraid you can't bear it." Old Madam Pei looked at her grandson, then at Hua Lei, and told the truth.

If Jin'er had to go to Mobei, and Lei'er had to go with her, he would of course be happy to see it happen. After all, it would not be good for a young couple who had been married for less than three months to be separated for a long time.

However, she couldn't let Hualei suffer against her will, as she felt guilty. She had been to Mobei before and knew the hardships there.

"Grandma, do you want to hold your great-grandson or great-granddaughter? If you do, you shouldn't stop me from going. You see, my husband and I have only been married for less than three months.

If we rashly separate for three years, not only will you not be able to have great-grandchildren, but we might even end up separating, right?

You definitely don't want us to be like this, right? I want to call you grandma for the rest of my life, and I don't want to change my name to Grandma Pei anymore." Hua Lei smiled and hugged Madam Pei's arm.

"You kid, you keep talking nonsense." Old Madam Pei gently patted Hua Lei on the back.

"Grandfather, grandmother, if I follow my husband to Mobei, I can't guarantee that I will give you two great-grandchildren in three years. But I think, one should be fine." Hua Lei came close to Madam Pei and made a face.

"You...you kid, really...ah, what can I say about you, really, really..." Old Madam Pei pinched Hua Lei's face. She wanted to say something shameless, but she swallowed it back.

Hua Lei smiled and shook Madam Pei's arm, knowing that she had convinced Madam Pei.

Hua Lei had been out on field work at the government office for most of the day, and had been wandering around a deserted mountain for most of the day. She felt really hungry.

She scratched Madam Pei's palm and said with a sweet smile, "Grandma, let's eat first. I'm hungry. We can talk while we eat."

"Okay, okay, eat first, eat first. Nothing is more important than eating." Old Madam Pei hurriedly asked the maids and old women to continue serving food.

"Jin'er, Lei'er, let me go to various departments tomorrow to inquire about the situation before making a decision. Let's have dinner first." Lord Pei, who was sitting at the top, also said.

"Grandfather, there is actually another benefit of me going to Mobei with you. I can also help with the restaurant, brick kiln, lumber mill and other things that Mobei is going to open. I promise to make our restaurant prosperous and make a lot of money." Hua Lei began to persuade Old Marquis Pei.

"Lei'er, it doesn't matter whether you make a lot of money or not. I can find someone else to do these things. You haven't been to Mobei, so you may not understand the bad weather in Mobei.

When it’s the coldest there, water literally freezes into ice, and sometimes there are snowstorms, and when the disaster is severe, people often freeze to death.”
