Before Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun got married, they repaired all the two small courtyards under their names, so the Yan family and the Hao family who came to visit them did not look for another place to live.

They lived in two small courtyards belonging to Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun, and Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu stayed at home to accompany their close relatives who had not seen each other for a long time after the wedding banquet.

Therefore, Meng Hao's follow-up money-saving plan, these two people don't have much energy to reach out to help.

Fortunately, Meng Hao's previous precautions played a big role, Guo Yang, Guo Song, Yang Dahu, the three diligent and capable young men, and the meticulous and clever little Guo Xing'er, these children are now helping Meng Hao run errands almost every day.

Meng Zhen has already found the storefront to be used in the cloth village and the pickle shop, and Meng Zhen entrusted the work of cleaning the shop to the little beggars who had cooperated before, while Guo Yang stayed in the village every day, helping her make a large number of various pickles according to Meng Hao's teachings.

As for Buzhuang's purchase channels, Meng Zhen is still ready to use the connections left by her father and mother before.

Of course, this relationship that has been cut off for several years, she has to let Yan Zhenwu personally run to help her reconnect when she is free.

Fortunately, the newly rented shops have not yet been simply renovated, so she can wait for a while and wait for Yan Zhenwu to vacate his time.

Su Shen, who seemed to be the most leisurely, was actually a little busier than Meng Zhen and them, because he was not only responsible for teaching and taking care of Meng Qi, Guo Huai, and Yang Erhu, but he was also seizing the time to review his homework.

Shen Feng, the young owner of Jufu Restaurant, who had a good impression of him, began to strongly recommend to him the Bailu Academy he is studying in after learning that he was preparing to enter the imperial examination.

Bailu Academy is located in the Bailu Mountains on the outskirts of Ninghai County, and is a large academy that is very famous in the entire Liaodong Prefecture.

Although Shen Feng said that his family had money, he was able to enter the White Deer Academy because of his ability.

He is naturally intelligent, coupled with the teaching of famous teachers since he was a child, he himself is also very self-disciplined and hardworking, so he has always been relatively top-notch in his studies.

When he was twelve years old, he suddenly proposed that he wanted to go to Bailu Academy.

To Master Shen's surprise, he really relied on his own strength to get in.

There are many famous teachers in Bailu Academy, even if he fails to worship under a certain great Confucian and become a disciple of others, Shen Feng still makes rapid progress in the academy.

In the autumn of this year, he directly won a show of talent as soon as he got off the stage.

The strong sense of belonging to the White Deer Academy and the confidence in Su Shen's fascination made Shen Feng very eager to pull Su Shen to the White Deer Academy.

Of course, he would never admit that there was a selfish motive of his own.

For example, "Once I became a classmate with Ah Shen, he shouldn't be so ruthless in refusing to take me into the mountains, right?" ”

Another example, "Everyone looks down every day and doesn't look up, I should be able to eat those good things in his house often, right?" ”

Shen Feng would never put some ideas like this on the surface.

Young Master Shen, who was very curious and attached great importance to the appetite of the mouth, secretly rubbed his little abacus, and began to spare no effort to fool Su Shen to go to Bailu Academy.

Su Shen had actually seen through the selfishness of this product a long time ago, but what he couldn't deny was that White Deer Academy was indeed the best choice he could get at the moment, as Shen Feng said.

Therefore, in order to show his highest level in the entrance examination of Bailu Academy in the spring of next year, Su Shen began a life of hard study every day.

Meng Zhen was deeply pleased that he was so diligent, and as soon as he was in a good mood, Meng Hao's "reward" measures were immediately introduced, so Su Shen and Meng Qi found that their family's food level had actually been upgraded again.

Both of them are children who grew up with brocade clothes and jade food, and they are only slightly surprised by this at most, but Aunt Guo and others, who have started to eat at Meng's house for three meals a day, have been dreaming for a while.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to explain Meng Zhen's current "employee" team.

Since the end of the autumn harvest, Aunt Guo's family, Second Uncle Guo's family, and Old Man Yang's family have begun to do their best to help Meng Zhen prepare various pickles.

Meng Hao gave them wages and they didn't accept them, Meng Hao had no choice but to keep supplementing them with food and clothing.

Since they now help Meng Zhen for at least half a day every day, Meng Zhen asked them to eat at their own home for three meals a day.

Originally, Aunt Guo wanted to refuse, but Meng Zhen expressed her attitude very resolutely, "You don't want money, and you don't let me take care of the food, then I don't dare to use you to help me." ”

Her tone was too resolute, and Aunt Guo and the others weighed it slightly, and finally decided to make a compromise.

After all, in their opinion, what they eat and drink is no longer worth a salary—it can only be said that poverty is really very conscientious and limits their imagination.

***

In a blink of an eye, time had passed to October 16, and on this day, the Yan family and the Hao family, who had traveled all the way to Ninghai County, finally decided to embark on the way home.

Not only did Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun prepare a lot of gifts for them, but even Su Shen, Meng Zhen, Meng Qi and others also gave a lot of things to these two families.

Then there are the friends that Yan Zhenwu has made over the years, and when they learned that the Yan family and the Hao family were leaving, they also sent all kinds of soil instruments over.

Because there were too many things, Yan Zhenwu even bought two carriages for them to pull things.

Yan Zhenwu's eldest brother, Yan Zhenxing, smiled with relief, and he patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "It seems that you are indeed doing well in Ninghai County." These people are so enthusiastic about us, and they should be more responsive to you. In this way, the eldest brother doesn't have to worry that you are alone, and no one can entrust you with anything. ”

"Can't you just say something good? What can my son do? Old Lady Yan snapped, raised her hand and patted her eldest son's right arm hard, "Besides, now that Xiao Wu has contacted us, even if there is really something embarrassing, can you brothers not come here to help him?" ”

Yan Zhenxing touched his sturdy arm that had been beaten, "Second and third, take a look, take a look." Our mother's heart has clearly gone to the younger brother. ”

The second and third eldest of the Yan family looked at each other and smiled, and the old lady Yan pretended to be angry and glared at her eldest son, who was obviously not the eldest but had never had any shape, "It's been a long time since I've seen your little brother, can't I be biased with him?" If you have that time to be here and be poor, why don't you hurry up and help my eldest grandson! ”

Yan Zhenxing: ...... Okay, anyway, he can't compare to his brother or son.
