The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 178 1 Circle 2 Circle 3 Circle

Half an hour later, Zhou borrowed a tray from the inn and brought in two bowls of dumplings, pig's trotter soup, and fried pork with peppers, so that Su He would have something to eat when he woke up.

"Aunt, uncle hasn't come back yet?"

"No, the pier is quite far from here. They are probably on their way back."

"Where did Zheng Biaotou and the others go?"

"They said they were going to check out the market at the dock and inquire about the price of livestock. Since I had nothing else to do, I let them go together."

Zhou took a small table and placed it on the kang, and the two of them sat face to face and ate slowly.

"Aunt, I want to buy a small farm when we get there. Today I asked Second Master, and he said that our boat ride is free. When we get there, we can stay in an inn for a few days, or rent a large yard, and live there first, and then move in when we find a good place."

Su He smelled the familiar pickled vegetable and pork dumplings and his mouth started watering. He picked one up, blew on it a few times and then bit into it.

"Free? Does this mean we don't have to pay 20 taels of silver for the journey?"

"Well, you don't have to pay. But we will definitely cook our own meals. I want to buy some cakes this afternoon so that we can eat some when we are hungry on the way. Oh, I forgot to ask Second Master if he will be on the ship for the next 20 days. If he will stop at the dock in the middle of the journey, we can go out to restock."

Su He was a little annoyed. No matter how perfect the preparation was, there would always be omissions.

Zhou drank the dumpling soup slowly, not in a hurry at all.

"You're not leaving until the day after tomorrow, so there's still time to ask tomorrow. The area near the pier is busy, so it's convenient for us to buy anything."

"That's fine. By the way, the cost of transporting the mule is 10 taels. We should have some money left after selling our carriages and carts. Also, let's eat together on the boat. Everyone should pay in advance, 2 taels of silver per person, and we'll get a refund when we get to Guangyuan."

Su He thought it would be better for everyone to help each other on the boat.

"Okay, I'll ask your uncle to talk to you later. Don't do such trivial things."

"Aunt, you still care about me. If we settle down in the village, aunt, let's build our houses together. The three of us can go there for meals anytime."

Now that Liu Niang was no longer her servant and it was impossible for her to live in her house, she decided to build her house next to Zhou's as she did before, preferably with a door to facilitate communication.

"Okay, I'll leave the door open for you. Just tell me what you want to eat in advance. My aunt is best at cooking."

Su He smiled flatteringly at Zhou, "Aunt, you are good at everything at home and outside the home. You are a role model for our Wang family."

These words made Zhou very happy. The uncle and nephew ate lunch on the big bunk bed, flattering each other.

Not long after lunch, Wang Fugui and others came back.

"Lotus, the mules have been delivered. I saw Master Wen leave with his uncle."

Wang Fugui didn't even drink a sip of water and asked anxiously about the future plans.

Su He was very sleepy after eating, so he gave a brief summary.

"Su'an is suspected of having an epidemic. If it spreads here, we will probably be affected. Let's take the water route to Guangyuan as soon as possible. Second Master waived our travel expenses. The transportation fee for the mule is ten taels. Uncle, please help me collect it from everyone. In addition, let's find out the specific itinerary of the 20-day boat trip in the next two days, and buy some cakes and other things."

Su He lay down while talking, and fell asleep as soon as he pulled the quilt over him.

Zhou cleaned up the dishes and instructed Wang Fugui to put the table aside. "Go eat the dumplings and wait until Hehua wakes up. Anyway, we are leaving the day after tomorrow morning, so we have enough time. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you can sell the carriages."

Wang Fugui followed Zhou out helplessly. Wang Quangui behind him didn't dare to say a word. Zhou was becoming more and more majestic.

"He Hua is too worried about this family. Please keep your voices down and don't disturb her."

As Zhou walked and gave instructions, Su He on the kang had already started snoring.

When Su He opened her eyes again, it was already dark. She thought there was no one around and was wondering where everyone had gone.

When she sat up, she found that everyone was staring at her.

At this moment, Su He was scared out of his wits.

Damn, were her dear family members possessed by evil spirits? Why didn't they turn on the lights when it was so dark? The key point was that she could see clearly that everyone was looking at her and laughing silently. She was so scared. Su He couldn't help but retreat against the wall.

"Aunt! Why don't you light the lamp?!"

"Huh, Minmin, Lotus is finally awake. Can I talk now?"

Wang Fugui breathed a sigh of relief; he had been feeling very uncomfortable.

Zhou rolled her eyes at him, "You've already said it, why are you asking me?"

As soon as Wang Fugui opened his mouth, everyone started chattering.

"So can I fart now?"

"No, go to the door!"

"I want to go to the toilet, is there anyone who wants to come with me?"

"Home, hurry up and light a lamp. Lotus said it's important to light one."

"Yuzhen, is it time for dinner?"

Wang Jingui was really starving. These women were very stubborn and said they would not cook the food. He was not allowed to go out and buy two steamed buns. His life was really miserable.

"Why rush? We still have a meeting to attend."

"That won't delay our meal. Can you please heat up two steamed buns for me first? I'm almost fainting from hunger."

Su He leaned against the wall, confused as she watched everyone suddenly become chaotic. It took her a while to realize that everyone was waiting for her to start a meeting.

"Aunt, why don't we have the meeting while eating steamed buns? It will save time. I'm hungry too."

When Ma heard Su He say she was hungry, she immediately got off the kang and called a few sisters-in-law to heat up some steamed buns.

"Hehua, just wait. You can eat soon."

A quarter of an hour later, the steamed buns were served. Someone from Su He's side personally brought the kang table over and put hot steamed buns and pickles on it, with a bowl of egg drop soup on the side.

Wang Jingui watched his wife take two steamed buns and eat them beside the lotus flowers. He never thought that she had a husband and a son.

The father and son could only get off the kang and find food by themselves in disappointment.

Su He chatted with a few aunts, drank two sips of egg drop soup to moisten her throat, took a bite of steamed bun, and waited for everyone to eat before starting the meeting under the warm lighting.

"Now let's unify. We will be Tianyuan Group 1 from now on, and those in Qinglong Village will be Tianyuan Group 2."

Su He first confirmed the name of the team, and then talked about their options for settling down in the future. "The housing prices in this county are high and there are no farmlands. We are not considering it for the time being. Our goal in the next two years is to farm well and lay a solid foundation before thinking of other options."

"So we have two choices, one is to settle down in the village, and the other is to buy a farm. We may not be able to buy a farm in Guangyuan. Now we are preparing to settle down in the village first. As for the village, I asked someone for information. Let's use one hour as the boundary. Driving a horse carriage from the village to the county town within one hour is called one circle, driving a horse carriage to the county town within two hours is called two circles, and what is driving a horse carriage to the county town within three hours called?"

Su He's sudden question left everyone confused.

“Three laps!”

Things like answering questions quickly still depended on Miaomiao. Little Miaomiao stood up excitedly, jumped up and down to answer the question, then sat down calmly.

"Very good, Miaomiao listened carefully."

Su He gave his sister a satisfied smile and said, "Give me a golden peanut."

Su He took out a golden peanut from her purse and handed it to Miaomiao who was running over.

Wang Laowu was stunned. How can one make money by holding meetings? Are the golden peanuts made of gold?

"Make a fortune, have a good harvest, have good luck, listen carefully, and you will stand up and answer next. Each of you will earn a golden peanut and return home."

Wang Laoliu rolled his eyes and forced himself to hold back from saying anything. This brother is crazy.
