Chapter 74: Moving into Town

  "Daughter, look who's here?" Ji Kui shouted into the house as soon as she entered the courtyard.

  Zhao heard his daughter's voice and exchanged a glance with Chen Tianfa, asking, "Who could it be at this hour?"

  "What's there to guess? Just go out and take a look," said Chen Tianfa. The two of them then got up and walked outside.

  Pushing open the door, what came into view was Wang Ziheng, who was at a loss in the courtyard. Zhao Shi enthusiastically greeted him, "Young Master Wang, why have you come today? Is there something wrong with our pickled eggs?"

  "No, no." Prince Han hastily waved his hand, "I came today to discuss something with you and Uncle Chen."

  In the courtyard, Xi Mei, who was pretending to play with mud, also raised her noble head when she heard this.

  "Hurry up, don't just stand there, come on, let's go inside and talk." Seeing Wang Ziheng looking a bit awkward, Zhao Shi thought to invite him into the house.

  "No need, no need." Wang Zihan declined, looking at the stool not far from Xi Mei and said, "Or, Auntie, let's go there, under the tree is also cool."

  Chen Tianfa also agreed, "Alright then, let's go. Xi Ju, quickly get the tea that your mother-in-law brought last time and brew some for Young Master Wang."

  "Father, I understand," said Xiju as she stood up.

  After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked into the house. Wang Ziheng looked at the figure of the beauty leaving, feeling a bit reluctant to part with her. How could this little guy deceive Ximiao's eyes?

  The unwilling person in the yard let out a loud cough, successfully shifting his line of sight back.

  "Listen, uncle and auntie, let me tell you directly. Ever since our pickled eggs came out, there's been a constant stream of customers coming to buy them. Many people come just for that, but... You also know that we only have so much stock, how can it be enough?"

  After finishing speaking, looking at the two thoughtful expressions, he didn't speak again. After a while, Chen Tianfa asked tentatively, "What do you mean by this?"

  At this moment, Wang Zihan finally spoke up. "I didn't mean anything else, the fact is that now only Beijing has this kind of thing called pidan egg. We can only take advantage of it first, and the formula must not be leaked."

  Hearing this, Zhao's family became anxious. "Young Master Wang, don't you trust us? We farmers won't do anything that goes against our conscience!"

  Mrs. Zhao misunderstood his meaning. Wang Zihan quickly stood up and explained, "That, Auntie, you've got it wrong, I didn't mean that."

  Chen Tianfa also patted his wife's hand, signaling her to calm down. At this time, Xi Mei had already moved from the original 7-8 meters away from them to only 2-3 meters. Seeing that her mother was a bit agitated, she cooperated and said "It's not what you mean, then what do you mean."

  "Oh no, Xi Mei, who told you to eavesdrop here?" Just as she walked out, Xi Mei saw this scene. She quickly rushed forward, covering her mouth and dragging her away.

  "I'm sorry to have made you laugh?" Chen Tian said apologetically to Wang Ziheng.

  "It's nothing, it's nothing. Let me tell you the situation. Now it's not just people in our town who want this thing, other towns are also asking us about it. I think since we have this opportunity, shouldn't we increase production on a larger scale?"

  The tea server brought out the chrysanthemum tea and set it in front of the two people before turning around and leaving.

  Chen Tianfa was also thinking at this time, looking at the meaning, did the host want to do more himself? But there are only a few people in the family, how much can be done if you do more? Hire someone to come, what if the formula is leaked?

  Then, looking at Wang Zihan with difficulty, "Well, Master Wang, what can we do? There are only a few people in our family. Even if we work day and night, we can't meet the needs of several towns."

  Unexpectedly, Wang Zihan was waiting for this sentence. After hearing Chen Tianfa say it, he climbed up the pole and said, "Then I have an idea, you two might as well listen?"

  "Well, then speak quickly about your intentions." Zhao's nature was impatient, and she asked anxiously.

  "Auntie, you're also inconvenient in the village and there aren't many people to help. I think, why don't you all move to the town together?" She asked tentatively, observing their reactions.

  "How can this be? We are strangers in this town." Before he could finish speaking, Zhao cut him off.

  "Auntie, don't be in a rush, I haven't finished speaking yet. In our town, the Wang family has a fairly large workshop. It was used for something else before, but now it's idle. Otherwise, my Wang family can take charge of finding people to do it, and you two just need to give some guidance?"

  Looking at Zhao Shi Chen Tian's hesitant expression, Wang Ziheng added fuel to the fire. "That, I think Rui Xuan is also a talented person, and he might be buried in the village. If you can make it to the town, I'll take responsibility for arranging a school for him. Is that feasible?"

  At this time, Zhao's expression had already been shaken a lot and was no longer the same as before.

  "Hey dad, look?" To be honest, Zhao was a bit moved, after all, this temptation for her was greater than anything else.

  Wang Zihan pressed on with the attack, saying, "You don't have to worry about a place to live either. Our Wang family has some vacant houses with quite large courtyards behind them, enough for a whole family to live in. This way, you can sell pine flower eggs in front and live in the back, and Rui Xuan will also have a place to stay after school."

  If Zhao was just a little moved earlier, now she is completely moved.

  Chen Tianfa knew what was on Zhao's mind, but men and women think differently, and with the old man still at home, how could he, as a son, go out alone?

  Seeing his hesitation, Prince Wang Han stood up and said to Chen Tianfa and the others: "Alright, you discuss it first, I'll go back first. When you've figured it out, just have someone notify me."

  "You're leaving already? Won't you stay a bit longer?" Chen Tianfa and his wife hastily got up to persuade him to stay.

  Wang Zihan smiled awkwardly, "I won't disturb you anymore. And, uh, I'm not much older than Rui Xuan and the others, so Aunties can just call me by my name, no need to be so polite."

  Upon hearing this, Madam Zhao hastily waved her hand, "That won't do, what's your status? How can we directly call out your name? You being able to personally come to our home is already giving us enough face."

  Chen Tianfa also chimed in from beside him, "Yes, yes."

  Seeing their resolute attitude, Wang Ziheng silently sighed and let them send him out the door.

  "Uncle, auntie, you can go back now. Whenever you've discussed and decided, remember to notify me, okay?" Wang Ziheng instructed with concern.

  "Don't worry, we'll let you know as soon as there's any news." said Chen Tian and Zhao Shi in unison.

  After taking a look, Wang Ziheng smiled and bid farewell to the two people, turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

  Zhao Shi and Chen Tian walked together, but his figure was invisible. Zhao Shi tentatively asked, "Dad, do you see..."

  Chen Tianfa remained silent, staring at the big tree in the courtyard, lost in deep thought.

  Inside the house. Xi Mei saw Wang Zihan leave, then quickly ran out and asked her mother, "Mother, what did you talk about after I left just now?"

  Zhao looked at Xi Mei's longing eyes and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "You little girl, why do you worry about everything? Be careful or you'll become an old lady before your time."

  "Come on, mom, stop teasing me and tell me already. Ah, just say it!"

  Seeing Xi Mei like this, Zhao asked her, squatting down, "Xi Mei, what do you think if our whole family moves to the town to live?"

  "Move into town to live? Our family has money to buy a house in town now?" Little girl asked strangely.

  Isn't it? This preserved egg has only been on sale for a few days, how can it reach the level of buying a house so quickly?

  "Zhao nodded her head, 'How come you always miss the point? I asked if you're willing to move into town to live. Why are you asking me if I have money to buy a house?'"

  Covering her battered little head, Xi Mei said pitifully: "But when we go to the town, we don't have a house, where can we live?"

  Zhao said irritably, "Don't worry about this. That young master Wang said he wants us to move into the town. His family has a workshop, so our pine nut eggs can be mass-produced, and not only that, they can also provide us with a courtyard with a house."

  After hearing what Zhao said, Xi Mei was puzzled. Is he really that good? Anyway, whatever he does is like a weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year with ill intentions.

  But I have to say this condition is still very tempting, "Mom, did he say anything else besides this?"

  "He also said that he can arrange for your brother to study at the best academy in town." It seems that this is the most difficult condition for Zhao's family to accept.

  After all, the couple always felt sorry for their eldest son, "That's good, why don't you agree, mom?"

  Although he is a bit of a bad egg, it has to be said that this is a great bargain for the Chen family.

  "I wanted to, but your father..." Zhao looked in Chen Tianfa's direction and fell silent.

  "Alas, what's the point of telling you all this, you don't understand anyway." Zhao sighed and walked back to her own room.

  Xi Mei stood still, puzzled, why did he always look down on people.

  But there was no time to dawdle, and looking at Chen Tianfa pondering under the big tree, Xi Mei jumped up and walked towards him.

  "Dad, Dad." LaLa pulled on Chen Tianfa's clothes, interrupting his thoughts. Seeing it was her, Chen Tianfa bent down and picked her up, asking "How did you get out, little girl?"

  "Dad, are you unhappy?" Xi Mei suddenly asked, staring at him intently for a while.

  "How could it be? Why did Xi Mei say that?" Chen Tian asked curiously.

  "Dad's eyes told me, why aren't you happy?" Little down jacket started to take effect.

  Half a day later, Chen Tianfa finally spoke up, "Xi Mei, if you were asked to move into town, would you be happy or not?"

  After pretending to think for a while, Xi Mei finally spoke up and said, "I'm willing."

  "Really?" Chen Tian asked curiously upon hearing this response.

  "Alright, I'm willing." Now Xi Mei's tone had become firm.

  "Why are you willing to? Come and tell Dad." Chen Tianfa sat on the stool with his arms around Xi Mei, asking, knowing her father's thoughts. Xi Mei said, "Dad, this way big brother can go to a good school, and Grandpa's illness can be cured."

  It's just that the doctor in the village isn't very good, and her grandfather has been dragging on this illness for a few years without getting better. If they really went to town and found a better doctor for him, he would have gotten better long ago, it's not like it's an incurable disease or anything.

  As expected, after hearing this, Chen Tianfa's eyes lit up.
