Chapter 530: Chapter 517: Tired Along the Way

The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more she felt it was the right choice to set aside her pride and make this journey. She felt it would be appropriate to bring along even more radishes and cabbages for Zhuang Qingning.

Glancing at the small bamboo basket hanging on her arm, Mrs. Wang felt that it was just too small to hold more than a few items. Her gaze finally fell on the small monowheel cart at home.

On the other hand, Zhuang Qingning, watching Mrs. Wang enthusiastically leaving, helplessly rubbed her forehead.

She didn’t need to think twice to know that Mrs. Wang must have gone to dig up cabbages, and when she returned, she would undoubtedly ditch that small bamboo basket. Most probably, she would bring a larger basket instead.

If she had known that Mrs. Wang would react so strongly, she wouldn’t have provided a way out for her. Now, all kinds of things at home could really be sold at the market.

Zhuang Qingning felt a dull headache thinking about the small warehouse piled up like a small mountain filled with all sorts of fruits, vegetables, and meats sent from all over.

“I’m sorry, Little Sister Ning.”

Seeing Mrs. Wang had walked far away, Zhuang Wencheng, who had been hiding nearby, quickly walked over to Zhuang Qingning’s side. “My mother has been grumbling in front of me, and I was afraid she might do something outrageous. So I told her about your marriage with Master Chu and explained things thoroughly to her.”

“I initially thought that with this news, my mother would be afraid and wouldn’t provoke any more incidents, and wouldn’t make things difficult for you. However, I didn’t expect that I overdid my explanation, and my mother reacted more than I expected, so I guess you’re likely to have new troubles.”

“I’m really sorry…”

Zhuang Qingning couldn’t help pursing her lips.

It looked like Zhuang Wencheng was indeed worried about Mrs. Wang, so he secretly followed her.

“Brother Wencheng, you shouldn’t say that,” Zhuang Qingning quickly said. “Actually, I think Brother Wencheng’s solution is not bad. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to handle Aunt Wang.”

“As for Aunt’s enthusiasm now…”

“It should get better in a few days, and talking about it, this is better than before. Interacting more with relatives is not a bad thing.”

“As long as you don’t find it bothersome,” Zhuang Wencheng sighed with relief seeing Zhuang Qingning not too bothered.

“Not at all,” Zhuang Qingning laughed. Noticing a small package on Zhuang Wencheng’s back, she raised her eyebrows, “Brother Wencheng, are you heading to the town?”

“No,” Zhuang Wencheng shook his head.

“The pharmacy business in town has basically been settled, and the patients who need to be settled have also been settled. I’m going to Doctor Shi in the county town.”

“Although New Year’s is just a few days away, it happens to be at this critical juncture and I still have to go. I should settle things before New Years so I can start getting busy right after. The timing seems just right.”

“I left home a while ago and probably walked for about the time it takes to drink a pot of tea, before I suddenly realized I forgot to bring my money pouch. So, I came back to get it and before I could even enter the house, I heard my mother in the courtyard preparing some meat and talking about you, Little Sister Ning. I couldn’t help but come over to take a look.”

“Since there’s no major issue, I’ll go ahead.” Zhuang Wencheng laughed, “If it gets too late, I’m afraid I’ll only arrive there by night, which isn’t good.”

“Little Sister Ning, you too take good care of yourself and your health at home. Don’t tire yourself out.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Wencheng, I understand,” Zhuang Qingning replied while walking Zhuang Wencheng out to the village entrance. Only when she saw him walking off in the distance, did she return home.

Not long after she got home and before she could sit down, Mrs. Wang arrived with radishes, cabbages, and mustard.

Looking at the small cart filled to the brim and Mrs. Wang’s smiling face, the corners of Zhuang Qingning’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

It seemed like when she guessed she would bring a basket, her thinking was still too rigid.

With all these cartloads of radishes and cabbages, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui wouldn’t be able to finish them… even if they were to eat them all winter.

After much persuasion, bargaining, and haggling, Mrs. Wang finally left with most of the vegetables in the cart. The remainder was just a bit less than half a cartload, but after Zhuang Qingning tidied up, it was still a big bamboo basket full.

Adding the ones sent by Mrs. He yesterday, the ones sent by other people in the village, and those sent from Miao Village…

In accordance with the principle of not wasting food, Zhuang Qingning decided to buy a few large jars and prepare to make all these cabbages into kimchi.

[Ding. Congratulations to the host. Because the host is well-loved and admired by the villagers, the host has now completed the random task, “Becoming the Center of Attention”. The host has received a reward, the ‘kimchi recipe’.]

There should be screams of joy here!

Zhuang Qingning felt that this System was getting better and better.

With this kimchi recipe, not only would she have delicious kimchi to eat, but she could also sell kimchi in the future.

Perfect!

Zhuang Qingning, with a smile on her face, started to clean up the cabbages, preparing to study the kimchi recipe as soon as she had the time.

The soap had been cut and packaged. Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui delivered them one by one. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

To Zhuang Yonghe’s house, Zhuang Jingye’s house, Aunt Wen’s house…

After distributing them to Mrs. Cao and Uncle Zhang in town, the remaining soaps, along with some carefully made pastries by Zhuang Qingning, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui took them to Qingzhuyuan, accompanied by Zhuang Mingli.

During the New Year, it was customary to visit each other. Plus, Fan Wenxuan was the tutor of Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli. He usually refused gifts, but it was customary to visit and offer gifts during this time of year.

The servants of Qingzhuyuan recognized Zhuang Qingning and others and quickly led them to the flower hall, served tea, and went to invite Chu Jinzhou and Fan Wenxuan.

Just after drinking a few mouthfuls of tea, hurried footsteps could be heard. Zhuang Qingning looked up to see a familiar face.

“Master Chu?”

“Mr. Chu?”

Surprisingly, apart from Zhuang Qingning, Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli were also present.

Quickly, the two younger ones went from surprise to excitement and gathered around Chu Jinnian, “Mr. Chu, when did you come back? How long are you staying this time? Can you still give us lessons?”

Ever since Chu Jinnian gave them a few lessons last time, Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli greatly admired Chu Jinnian’s knowledge.

Although Mr. Fan’s lessons were also excellent and even more relaxing, it’s just that…

Chu Jinnian was good-looking!

If they could have a choice between an old face and a handsome face when the knowledge was equal, they would undoubtedly choose the latter without hesitation.

“You two, stop pestering Master Chu. Master Chu just got back and must be tired from the journey. Be considerate,” Zhuang Qingning lightly scolded with a smile.

“It’s fine,” Chu Jinnian responded with a smile, patting Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli’s heads. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to teach you this time. Jinzhou and Mr. Fan are playing chess inside. Why don’t you both join them and watch the game?”
