Seeing that the time was about to enter February, Chen Xiaoshu began to pack up, because the county test was in February, and the government test was in April.

And Gitong Prefecture is the largest prefecture in Hiroma Prefecture, so the annual prefectural test is also held in Gitong Prefecture, which means that once you go this time, you will not be able to come back until at least April or May.

Chen Xiaoshu naturally has to arrange everything at home.

called Ercai and Xiao Shengniang to explain the matter of the pickle factory one by one, in fact, Chen Xiaoshu has nothing to worry about, in the past two years, whether it is Xiao Shengniang or Ercai, they have done it through.

Chen Xiaoshu looked at Xiao Shengniang in front of him, who had been the chief manager of the pickle factory for two years, not only did Xiao Shengniang not have the cowardice of the past, but had a trace of the ability of a working woman in the future generations.

As for Ercai, since the incident with Aunt Laifu, he has always felt guilty about his friend Chen Linxiao, especially after Chen Linxiao handed over the task of transportation and distribution of the factory to him regardless of his previous suspicions, this emotion reached its peak and was transformed into Ercai's motivation, he has always worked very hard, as if only in this way can he make up for the guilt in his heart.

"If anything happens, you can inform me in time." Chen Xiaoshu finally said, then looked at Ercai and said, "Anyway, our transport team will go to the county seat once in two days." ”

Ercai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I understand in my heart." ”

Because some kimchi pickles are fresh and not delicious after a long time, the transportation team under Ercai has to transport goods to various branches every two days.

After arranging the affairs of the factory, Chen Xiaoshu called Aunt Dexiang again, and said: "Auntie, I will go to the county seat this time to live for a longer time, and Lin Xiao will also go to the county seat in a few days, and you will guard the door when we are not there, if the people from the old house of the Chen family come to knock on the door, you will say that the main house is not there, and you can't open the door, if there is really anything urgent, let them go to the county seat to find me, our portal is tall and sturdy, and they dare not turn in, if they really dare to come in, our family of Qixi and Coke are not raised in vain." ”

Qixi and Coke are the two dogs that Chen Xiaoshu has raised in the past two years, they are brother and sister, Chen Linxiao bought them from a hunter, it is said that they are a cross breed of a wolf and a dog, Qixi and Coke become more and more ferocious as they grow older.

Aunt Dexiang nodded when she heard this: "Don't worry, I know." ”

Watching Aunt Dexiang leave, Chen Xiaoshu couldn't help but have the idea of buying a few people.

I have to say that the environment will really change people, Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao have traveled over for more than two years, and for more than two years, they have been able to officially face up to the legal sale of human beings, and they have the idea of buying a few people themselves.

It's just that even if you really want to buy someone, you have to wait until Chen Linxiao wins Xiucai, in fact, ordinary rich people can also buy people, but Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu's vigilance has always been heavier, for fear that they won't be able to resist the next person, if Chen Linxiao wins the Xiucai exam, then he is a soldier, so he is naturally not afraid.

After packing up, Chen Xiaoshu set off with the pickle shop's convoy early the next morning.

Because he was going to live in the county seat until May this time, Chen Xiaoshu prepared winter clothes to summer clothes, and there were many things that he was used to, and he actually filled a full carriage with bits and pieces.

Fortunately, the business of the pickle shop is getting bigger and bigger, and by now, their transport team has more than 50 donkeys and more than 20 cows.

Chen Xiaoshu sat in the donkey cart, because it was the most skilled person in the team who drove her, so she didn't feel any bumps along the way.

After arriving at the county seat, Ercai took a few people to escort Chen Xiaoshu to Gonghe Lane.

This Gonghe Lane is the house that Chen Xiaoshutuo Niu bought for her two years ago.

This Gonghe Lane is not big, and there are more than a dozen families living in it, most of them are scholars, and there is a lifter living in this alley now, and there is a showman, in addition, there are several families who are doing business, and they are all serious business.

The location of Gonghe Lane is not far from Fufang Street, which is a good place to find peace in the middle of noisy, and it is not far from the county government and the academy, so when he bought the house here, in addition to fate, Chen Xiaoshu spent a lot of money.

"Here we are." Ercai said on a donkey.

The two donkey carts behind stopped, and Chen Xiaoshu got out of the carriage, walked to the door of his house, and gently patted the knocker on the door.

In a short time, the door was opened from the inside.

The door was opened by a middle-aged woman in coarse cloth clothes, she saw Chen Xiaoshu and said in surprise: "The lady is back." ”

This is the helper invited by Chen Xiaoshu, sister-in-law Zhang, sometimes because of business matters, she comes back to the county for a short stay for a few days, sister-in-law Zhang will be responsible for cooking and laundry for her, usually sister-in-law Zhang has to come here every day to clean.

Sister-in-law Zhang opened the door and asked people to move things in.

"This, this, and these two boxes are all put in the main room in the backyard, these three are left in the main room in the front yard, and the rest are all put in the west wing of the backyard."

Chen Xiaoshu counted the box and said.

Chen Xiaoshu sent them to the door, and gave the reward money separately and was about to go back to pack the things in the box, when they saw the door of the house opposite being opened, and a woman who looked to be in her early twenties walked out and said, "You are the lady of the family?" ”

Chen Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Exactly, the lady is from the family?" ”

Sheng Min nodded with a smile and said, "This is my family, my family's official surname is Sheng, and my mother's surname is Min." ”

"It turned out to be Sheng Niangzi, and my husband's surname is Chen." Chen Xiaoshu said.

Sheng Min said with a smile: "The previous surname of the main family of this house is Ji, since his family moved away two years ago, I have been thinking about what kind of person the new neighbor is, but unfortunately I can only see your family's rough mother-in-law in and out on weekdays, and I have never met you once, why, this is going to live for a long time?" ”

Chen Xiaoshu smiled and said: "My family is in Qingniu Town, this house was bought for convenience, I really didn't live for a long time before, in fact, I have come often in the past two years, but unfortunately I have never met Sheng Niangzi, this time I came because my family officials want to take the exam, as long as I want to live until May." ”

Sheng Min was secretly surprised when he heard this, the house here is not cheap, just bought one for convenience, it can be seen that this newly moved neighbor has a rich family background, and heard Chen Xiaoshu say that her family official is also a scholar, Sheng Min couldn't help but feel good, thinking that if the family is of good character, then it is not a bad person.

"It's a coincidence, my family officials are also scholars, and I was lucky enough to be famous in the first two years."

The two exchanged another greeting, and Chen Xiaoshu returned home.

"Lady, it's not too early this day, I'll go shopping and cook, what do you want to eat today?"

Sister-in-law Zhang came over and asked.

Chen Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang has worked hard for you in the past two years, and has been helping me take care of this house." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang shook her head when she heard this, and said: "What kind of words is this talking about, but it is just sweeping the yard of the house, which is not hard." ”

Chen Xiaoshu said: "I want to live here until May, and I have to work hard for you again, so let's do it, sister-in-law Zhang, your monthly income will also increase by 100 yuan." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang smiled from ear to ear when she heard this, and Chen Xiaoshu gave her some copper plates and told her to go to the street to buy some meat and vegetables and come back.
