Farmer Fubo is open for business

Chapter 206 A dilapidated and short official residence

"Why can't I go with Chang'an?" Zhao Yuan glared at Lu Jingzhou dissatisfied.

Lu Jingzhou: "You are not related to her, how can you follow her?"

The Chang'an family can still talk about going to Northern Xinjiang to join their biological father. Zhao Yuan, a twelve-year-old boy, can't join the army, right?

"I want to go!" Zhao Yuan turned ten cows and couldn't pull them back. He didn't even listen to his own father. How could he listen to an outsider's order?

Lu Jingzhou snorted and ignored him. He turned to Chang'an and said, "Wu Zhonglou has to leave after returning home for the third time. Have you packed everything properly? Do you need to bring anything else?"

"It's all packed, and everything I need to bring is also ready." Changan brought fifty flywheels, bearings, gears, footrests and other accessories this time. When he arrived in northern Xinjiang, he only needed to make a few wheel frames to assemble them.

In addition to the boxes of food and fodder, they set out on the road in more than twenty carriages this time, and also hired a escort of twenty or thirty people to escort them.

Lu Jingzhou nodded: "That's very good, but you have to be careful on the road. There are many horse thieves and bandits in the north. Don't stay overnight in the wild."

Changan nodded.

I have quietly bought knives, a few longbows and crossbows. Even my carriage has been modified. The carriage has wooden doors and a removable roof that can be opened at any time to get out and shoot arrows.

"I will send four more people to escort you. They have lived in the Northland before and are familiar with the situation there." Lu Jingzhou said.

Chang'an bowed and thanked: "Thank you very much, Mr. Lu."

Lu Jingzhou glanced at Chang An, turned around and left.

Zhao Yuan stuck out his tongue at his back and said firmly: "Chang'an, I will definitely go to Yandi with you."

Chang'an shook his head: "Zhao Yuan, it's better for you to stay in the capital." It was bitterly cold in the north and not as prosperous as the capital. If he went there, he would be delaying his future.

Moreover, he was still expected to manage the car dealership's business. If he left, it would be extremely difficult to come back.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but feel frustrated when he saw that Chang'an didn't agree with him to go with him.

After a moment of silence, he seemed to suddenly figure it out: "Well, I will stay in the capital for the time being, but when I turn fifteen, I will definitely go to Northern Xinjiang!"

He knew that Chang'an's father was a member of a thousand households in northern Xinjiang. If he joined his account, he could live with Chang'an's family again.

But now he is only twelve, and the army will not accept underage children.

Seeing his stubbornness, Changan stopped mentioning the topic.

She pointed at Haitang Garden and said: "From now on, you can hire two maids and let them take care of your daily life. There is a vegetable patch in the backyard and a few egg-laying chickens. You just need to take care of it a little, and it will be convenient for you to eat vegetables in the future."

There are also two dogs and Huahua. It's cold in the north. They will definitely not adapt to it. I won't take them with me. I also ask you to take care of them and don't starve them. "

"I know! I won't starve them." Zhao Yuan curled his lips and wanted to cry, but he was afraid that Chang An would find out, so he quickly turned around and ran away.

Chang'an looked at the several rooms in the yard, the furniture in the rooms, and the plants and trees in the backyard. They were all tidied up by himself and his mother-in-law.

I originally thought this was my home, but I didn't expect that I would have to move after only living there for three years.

A few days later, Chang'an and Zhang Yuyan got into the carriage and waved goodbye to Minghui, Mrs. Shizi and others who were seeing them off.

Zhang Yao burst into tears and struggled to get on the carriage: "Grandma! Sister! Take me with you! I want to go with you too!"

Mrs. Shizi quickly hugged him and comforted him: "They are going to visit relatives and will be back in a while."

"No! I'm going to visit my relatives too, wuwuwuwu," Zhang Yao howled.

Ms. Jiang and Zhang Yuyan also wiped away tears. For a moment, they both wanted to get out of the car and not leave.

Chang'an had no choice but to stick his head out and said, "Zhang Yao, Zhao Yuan hasn't left either. You can go and play with him in the future."

This method worked as expected. Zhang Yao looked for Zhao Yuan with tears and snot in his eyes, then ran over, hugged him and cried: "Zhao Yuan, you are the only one I have from now on."

Everyone:.

As the motorcade went further and further away, Changan looked out of the rear window and saw Lu Jingzhou standing in an inconspicuous corner, silently watching the direction of the motorcade.

It's September now, the autumn air is crisp, Chang'an and Zhang Yuyan are sitting in the carriage knitting woolen clothes.

"Chonglou said that northern Xinjiang is very cold and it will snow in October. Let's knit some more woolen clothes while we are on the road. Wear them under the robes to keep warm."

Zhang Yuyan's tone was a little expectant, but also a little worried: "I also heard that there is a shortage of water there, and men, women and children don't take a few baths a year. I don't know if it's true?"

Chang An quickly knitted a sweater and said firmly: "Don't worry, we will not be short of water wherever it is."

If it didn't work, she would use small beads to generate water and keep them to turn dry land into fertile farmland.

Zhang Yuyan smiled and continued: "It is said that there is a sea over there in Yandi. The water is boundless and there are fish bigger than a house in the sea. I will definitely go and have a look when the time comes."

"I want to see it too." Chang'an suddenly remembered the little goldfish in his dream. They once lived in the ocean and were somehow trapped in a pool.

The two girls knitted sweaters while chatting, occasionally lifting the curtains to look out the car window, which was quite pleasant.

The convoy walked slowly, led by the escort, and stopped to rest at the market or county town after traveling fifty miles a day.

Chang'an saw that the horses were tired, so he took the water and beans that had been prepared from a luggage cart and fed them.

The horses became energetic the next day and were particularly strong in pulling the cart.

Unknowingly, after traveling north for a month, the weather became colder and colder.

On this day, there were still snowflakes floating in the air, which made the escorts nervous.

"We have to hurry up, otherwise we will be stuck on the road." The escort who led the team came over and told everyone: "There is nothing you can do if you find it bumpy. If the snow falls deeply, it will be difficult for the carriage to move."

"Then let's go quickly." Song Sanshun was also worried that his family would be stuck on the road. In such cold weather, the breath turned to ice and could freeze overnight.

At this time, Chang An and Zhang Yuyan had already put on the sweaters they knitted, with cotton coats on top, and quilts covering their legs, but they still felt cold.

"It's too cold. How do people in the north live?" Zhang Yuyan shrank her neck and stamped her feet. "My feet are numb from the cold."

Chang'an: "My father said that the northern Xinjiang where he is stationed is even colder, and it snows every August and September."

"Ah? Really?" Zhang Yuyan was surprised: "How far is it from Yuyang County?"

Chang'an thought for a moment and said, "It will probably take another month to get there."

She suddenly remembered an important thing. It seemed that the place where her father was stationed could not exchange banknotes. So why not exchange the banknotes she brought with her at Shuntian Mansion?

But how to bring so much cash to daddy?

Chang'an was so worried that he scratched his head.

The convoy drove slowly and hurriedly all the way, and finally arrived at Shuntian Mansion in November. After staying here for a few days, Chang'an bought several carts of grain, and then went to Yuyang County with his uncle.

Chang'an, Aniang and others moved into the backyard of the county government office. They saw a row of dilapidated and short houses. You had to lower your head to enter the house.

Fortunately, there is a ready-made fire kang in every house, so people don't feel cold even after burning it.

It's just that this room is too small, except for a big Kang, there is only room for turning around.

"Is this the official residence of the county government?" Zhang Yuyan felt that the dream in her heart was shattered like a bubble.

Such a low shabby house is not as good as the firewood shed in one's own courtyard. (End of chapter)
