Chapter 796: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 796: Qi Chan Returns
Shu Yu saw Xu Zhensheng not far ahead and remembered the few "ground rats" left in the cart by one of the children. She waved to him.
Xu Zhensheng ran over and peered into the cart. "Where's Da Hu?"
"He'll be back in a few days, but he asked me to give you a gift."
"What is it?"
Shu Yu took out a cloth bag from the cart. "Fireworks. It's something my older brother bought in the capital for Da Hu and San Ya. Da Hu specifically left some for you. Take it."
The bag was bulging, containing not only fireworks but also some candies and pastries wrapped in paper.
These were brought back by Da Hu when he went to visit other families on New Year's Day. Knowing that the Xu family didn't prepare much for the New Year, he brought some for his friends.
Xu Zhensheng pursed his lips. Despite being several years younger, Da Hu took good care of him.
Xu Zhensheng accepted the cloth bag. "Thank you."
Shu Yu waved her hand. "Tell him when he comes back. Alright, go play. I'll go home first."
Xu Zhensheng took two steps back and stood aside to let her pass.
Shu Yu resumed her work diligently. The next day during the registration, she saw Second Master and his wife
Both of them looked pale, shivering as if they were sick.
Apparently, the rain that afternoon on the first day of the lunar new year was not in vain.
Shu Yu thought they would continue to inquire about the Hou family, but to her surprise, they didn't say anything.
They didn't cause trouble, and Shu Yu couldn't be bothered to deal with them either.
The old lady didn't wait until the sixth day of the lunar new year. She arrived on the fourth day and said to Shu Yu, "I came early to prepare some dried goods for the Yao family to take back to the capital. The Yao family has a good relationship with your father, and we can't cut off ties just because they're leaving. That would be a loss for us."
The old lady had her own understanding of social relationships, and Shu Yu let her be.
Soon after the old lady left, Qi Chan finally returned to Heichang County.
However, he only stayed in the county for less than half a day before following up and coming to Zhengdao Village, directly finding Shu Yu.
Wang Changdong was shocked to see Qi Chan personally coming to find Miss Lu. He quickly tidied up the study and let them in. He personally served tea and snacks on the table, then stood outside the door, guarding it.
He had a hunch that Qi Chan had come to find Miss Lu with an important matter and couldn't let anyone disturb them.
Qi Chan unexpectedly glanced at Wang Changdong a couple of times and nodded with a smile, seeming to be very satisfied with his actions.
Wang Changdong became excited and more attentive. "You two can talk slowly. If you need anything, just call me."
He left, leaving only Shu Yu and Qi Chan in the study.
Looking at the little girl in front of him who hadn't changed much, Qi Chan couldn't help but smile. "I've come with good news. The prefect magistrate was very pleased when he saw the hot packs you made. He's already on his way to the capital at full speed. However, it will take some time for the heast packs to be delivered and tested before they are officially rewarded. So please be patient."
Shu Yu calculated in her mind and had a clear understanding.
"I know. Just like Uncle Yao, I'll been waiting for over two months."
