The couple had a good night's sleep, and when they got up in the morning, Sister-in-law Xia had already made breakfast. Li Mingli and Li Mingming were already sitting at the table waiting.

"The third, the fourth, you two got up so early." Li Mingren greeted with a smile.

Li Mingli said with a complaining look: "It's the eldest brother who got up too late!" ”

Li Mingming: "We're all hungry, let's eat quickly!" ”

Li Mingren smiled: "Oh, I was too tired to travel yesterday, so I couldn't help but get up late." Let's eat! ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled and didn't speak.

After the family finished eating, Zhao Yunlan planned to go to the small courtyard of the Liu family with Li Mingren, and had already handed over the greeting post to the Liu family before returning from the town yesterday, so the couple had to rush to the town again today.

Zhao Yunlan asked Sister-in-law Xia to pack up some mountain goods, load some bacon, catch four chickens, and drive the ox cart to the town. Yesterday, the husband and wife came back in a rented carriage, and Sun Daniu stayed in Fucheng to facilitate the Wang family, so Li Mingren also acted as Zhao Yunlan's coachman.

When they arrived in the town, Zhao Yunlan first went to Qingyabuzhuang to send things over and greet the shopkeeper Wu, and the two came to the small courtyard of the Liu family.

"Come on in, I haven't seen you in a long time!" Old Madam Wang looked happy.

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Didn't I just see it last time in Fucheng." ”

Mrs. Wang: "You were so busy at that time, I didn't talk to you properly." What do you think? Is everything okay over there? ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "That's thanks to the blessing of Governor Liu, everything is going well." "Zhao Yunlan knew that Governor Liu secretly helped a lot, which allowed Zhao Yunlan or the Li family to walk steadily in Fucheng.

Li Mingren followed Mrs. Liu to the study, Mrs. Liu was reading the test paper written by Li Mingren, and she couldn't see any expression on her face and didn't speak.

Li Mingren was nervous, and he could feel the sweat in his palms.

"Hmm~ It's a lot of progress. But there are still some problems with what you wrote in this article......"

Li Mingren listened carefully to Mrs. Liu's explanation, and wrote while listening.

Zhao Yunlan continued to chat with Mrs. Wang.

"Old lady, I'll measure you!" Zhao Yunlan asked cautiously.

Old Madam Wang asked suspiciously, "Oh? Is this going to make clothes for my old woman? ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Recently, I thought of a new idea, it is a dress made of duck down, I have asked my family Ruiwen to try it, and it is very warm to wear." I'd like to make two sets for the old lady and the old lady. ”

Old Madam Wang smiled and did not politely excuse herself.

"Don't measure it, I just measured it a while ago, and I'll ask Mama Fang to write you the size of me and the old man in a while."

Zhao Yunlan: "Then thank you, Mrs. Wang!" ”

Mrs. Wang smiled: "You girl didn't make a mistake, I and the old man should thank you." ”

The two talked and laughed, and the couple stayed in the small courtyard of the Liu family for lunch before leaving.

Li Mingren: "Every time I listen to Mrs. Liu's lecture, I really feel that my mind is clear, and many of my doubts will be solved one by one." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "That means that you are still far behind, so you can't be lazy anymore." ”

Li Mingren felt like he was lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Zhao Yunlan came to the hot and sour noodle shop and wanted to give everyone the year-end bonus that should be issued, which is Zhao Yunlan's rule all along. At the end of the year, everyone is looking forward to this day.

"Because I'm going to Fucheng in a hurry this year, I'll give you a year-end bonus earlier." Zhao Yunlan was talking to Shopkeeper Lin about this.

Shopkeeper Lin smiled: "That big guy has to be happy." I'm going to call everybody! ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Wait a minute, Shopkeeper Lin, I have something to do with you." ”

Shopkeeper Lin stood on his feet, saluted and said, "What do you want from the Zhao family?" ”

Zhao Yunlan shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't be so serious, Shopkeeper Lin doesn't need to be nervous." That's right, I plan to open a hot pot branch in Xihe County after the year, and I want to transfer you to the county as a shopkeeper. What do you think? ”

Shopkeeper Lin's eyes were a little excited: "Zhao Dongjia, this is ...... I'm naturally willing, but who will manage this hot and sour noodle shop? "After following Zhao Yunlan for so long, Shopkeeper Lin also knew Zhao Yunlan's personality, so when Zhao Yunlan brought this up, Shopkeeper Lin didn't twist it.

Zhao Yunlan: "What do you think of Second Cousin Wang?" ”

Shopkeeper Lin thought for a while: "Shude is very hardworking, and his brain is also active. I can take him with me while I am in this time. ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded with satisfaction: "Then it's hard to be the shopkeeper of Lin." ”

Shopkeeper Lin smiled: "I still have a lot of gratitude for Zhao Dongjia's appreciation, I will definitely work hard and live up to the expectations of the owner." ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "When you get to the county seat, the salary will rise for you, the restaurant business is good, and you know that we will not treat you badly." ”

Shopkeeper Lin nodded.

Zhao Yunlan said: "After the New Year, you go to Fucheng to find Yang Zhenggui and ask him to teach you some experience." ”

Shopkeeper Lin: "Yes." ”

After the two finished talking, Zhao Yunlan sent everyone's year-end bonus. When he was about to leave, he told Shopkeeper Lin not to talk about these arrangements first, and even Wang Shude couldn't tell him for the time being.

Shopkeeper Lin nodded. Zhao Yunlan didn't want to say it too early, she just wanted everyone to have a peaceful New Year, after all, she was transferred after the year, and saying it early would still have some impact on the team of hot and sour noodles.

Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren returned to Lijia Village, and after resting for a while, Li Mingli went to gather the female workers of the soap shop to their home. It's really Zhao Yunlan who feels that the time is too rushed, and she has to plan to go back to Zhaojiagou tomorrow to see Jiang and Zhao Daliang.

"I'm still looking for you to come over so late, I hope you will forgive me." Zhao Yunlan said.

A group of people in the underground were babbling, "Don't get in the way!" ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled, looking at Li Caixia who seemed to have changed her appearance now, and couldn't help asking, "Caixia, everything is okay at home now?" ”

Li Caixia said excitedly: "Okay, thank you to the owner for speaking for me at the beginning, my mother is now thanking you, fortunately I insisted on staying." ”

Zhao Yunlan asked jokingly: "How much dowry has Sister Caixia saved for herself now?" ”

The woman next to her couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and looked at Li Caixia's face flushed.

"Sister-in-law Yunlan, don't talk nonsense, I'm not in a hurry to get married!"

"Hahaha~" A room of women laughed amused.

Zhao Yunlan: "Okay, I won't tease you." Today, I am looking for you to give you a year-end bonus, this year everyone has worked hard, the meat in this basket is one person, and the cloth is one person. Of course, the most important thing is the long-awaited red envelope, and the one who shouted his name came up to receive it. ”

The women in the underground exploded again, and auspicious words kept coming out. Everyone's face was filled with laughter.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Zhang Mei, it was more difficult for her and Li Caixia's family at the beginning, but now Zhang Mei's face is also ruddy, and winter clothes are no longer a thin layer.

"When I save up a little more, I can send my children to study in town." Zhang Mei got the year-end red envelope and said to Zhao Yunlan with a smile.

Zhao Yunlan also smiled back. It's really great to think that Zhang Mei can have this idea, no matter how much money the study club spends, it's good to have this heart alone. Zhao Yunlan was thinking about it, and Ding Fengying also said: "Hey, my family also wants to send children to study in the town, last time Baozi went to the town to ask, saying that the town does not accept enlightened children now." I can only go to the county to find a college, but this county is far away, and it must cost more money to study. ”

When Zhang Mei heard Ding Fengying talk about this, her originally bright eyes were a little lost, but she didn't know what she thought, and suddenly said, "It's okay, let's save money slowly, and it won't be in the way to study later." Fortunately, life is better now. ”

The women were babbling and agreeing with this, and now life was better.

Zhao Yunlan looked at everyone with a hopeful look, and her heart was also happy. It's just that there is always something in my heart that I can't let go.
