Chapter 291 Ready to leave
The two couples were finally persuaded by Yin Miao. Since they were planning to come back, they were relieved for the most part, but before that, Yin Miao had to prepare enough supplies and water.
The water shortage situation in Shangyun City is not as serious as that in Changling County. There are even several wells in the city that can pump part of the water every day. Among them, there is a well like this in the city lord's mansion.
So Yin Miao made a bold decision to inject a lot of water into the well before she left.
"The remaining food in A Miao's space can be left in the city lord's mansion. I will ask my brother-in-law and the others to send more staff to the mansion."
Xiao Xuan said that it would take a long time to go back and forth to the capital. If Shangyun City were to be cut off, they would not be able to save the nearby fire.
"Well, that's what I planned, but when are we leaving?"
Yin Miao asked, she still has many things to explain in advance.
"Wait for the tenth day after Zhao Hongye and the others left."
Xiao Xuan did not intend to go with those people, which Yin Miao also strongly agreed with, they did not want to be watched along the way.
Now Yin Miao is relieved, it sounds like she still has enough time to prepare.
Sun Zili also started recruiting some commoners to do part-time labor according to Xiao Xuan's request, in order to shell more millet.
And the location for recruiting part-time workers is located near the Xuanmiao Trading Company.
Yin Miao happened to see a familiar figure - Li Jun when she was passing by the place where the job was recruited.
Li Jun is Lu Mei's son, but it is strange to say that among the villagers who recalled the City Lord's Mansion, Yin Miao did not see Lu Mei's figure. And now Li Jun is applying for a part-time job?
"What about your parents?"
Yin Miao greeted Kong Lingxiu, who was in charge of recruiting, and then pulled Li Jun out to ask.
"gone."
Li Jun looked even more dull, Yin Miao did not understand what kind of leaving he said for a while, but Li Jun was taken to the paddy field of the City Lord's Mansion by Yin Miao to do some cleaning under the envious eyes of everyone. The work of the chaff.
After Xiao Xuan found out about this at lunch, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Lu Mei is gone?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
Yin Miao and Xiao Xuan had dinner together in the business. She just said something casually, but she did not expect Xiao Xuan to react so much.
"She has a problem."
Xiao Xuan continued to pick up his chopsticks and started eating again. To be precise, all that family except Li Jun had problems.
Yin Miao watched Xiao Xuan use up a bowl of rice with three strokes, and then asked, "What's the problem with them?"
Rume is a village woman no matter what.
"She'll be back again."
Xiao Xuan wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, elegant and calm.
Yin Miao didn't care too much, because she was going to use the oil press to squeeze some more cooking oil out in the afternoon.
The peanuts have been cleaned by Ah Cheng, so she only needs to operate the oil press provided in the space and fill the container with oil.
The aroma of peanuts was so fragrant that Yin Miaowen was greedy, so Lili fry some peanuts, then mixed with salt, and a plate of fragrant and crunchy snacks was ready.
Remembering that the whole family loves it, and that peanuts are an easy-to-store ingredient, she asked the housekeeper Ah Cheng to dig out more peanuts, and planned to leave these peanuts to the family before leaving for emergencies. need.
Of course, she will not stay in the space all the time, and she will take Xiangrui to see the business downstairs from time to time.
The Zhen family is not as busy as it was at the beginning, and now there are many regular customers, and the children in the store who have come to help have also withdrawn and started their training.
"Manager Yin, will you continue to investigate that matter?"
Huang Tian was prejudiced that there was no one around, so he asked that the incident he was referring to was the banknote incident related to his father.
"Yes, the person you are looking for, we are also looking for."
Seeing Yin Miao's answer, Huang Tiancheng was also relieved a lot. They finally found some clues along the banknotes. If he could only leave it alone, he might remember this matter until he died.
"That's good, the shopkeeper can rest assured, I will definitely remember the accounts during this period of time, so that you can see it clearly when you come back."
Huang Tiancheng assured.
"Then it's hard work for you."
Yin Miao also gave Huang Tiancheng a bag of fried peanuts. She remembered that Huang Tiancheng also liked to eat this, and Huang Tiancheng was naturally moved. This work was better than when he set up a stall to sell characters. Besides, it was a disaster. year.
After two more days, when Yin Miao finally squeezed hundreds of cylinders of cooking oil with the oil press, Lu Mei really came to the door.
"Previously, my man thought he had relatives nearby, so we went to take a look. I didn't expect his relatives to be gone, so we hurried back."
Lu Mei was speaking to Zhen Shi.
"I also said why I haven't seen your couple, but Li Jun's child is considered to be able to take care of himself, so it's better to let him stay in the city."
After hearing this, Zhen Shi suddenly realized, but she also felt a little strange, this Lu Mei has been away for more than a month, why are relatives so far away?
When Li Jun was mentioned, Lu Mei was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said:
"Yeah, I didn't think that the city was safe enough, so I didn't run around with the child. Now that we are back, we still have no relatives here. I don't know if there is any place for help here or in the house? "
This is because he wants to come over to work, and after hearing it, Zhen Shi did not make a rash decision, but said: "There were a lot of recruits a while ago, I really don't know what's going on these days, or I'll turn around and ask for you. ."
"Since I'm a fellow villager, my sister must help me with this, and there is hope for working with our fellow villagers."
Rume said with some disappointment.
"Aunt Lu is back?"
Yin Miao listened for a while upstairs and then walked down.
A trace of unnaturalness flashed on Lu Mei's face, but she quickly smiled and said, "Miaotou has become beautiful again."
"Thank you auntie, I wonder why auntie is here today?"
Yin Miao asked, since Xiao Xuan said she has a problem, then there must be a problem.
"I'm coming... Hey, let's be honest, I just wanted to see if there are still people in our mansion. They're all acquaintances, so they will naturally be more considerate than those outside, don't you think?"
Rume said.
She thought that Yin Miao would agree directly, after all, there were hundreds of people in the city lord's mansion, and she was not inferior to her, but she did not expect that Yin Miao would refuse.
"My aunt came at an untimely time. I heard that the mansion has begun to have no one, and even the seats for part-time workers are full."
Yin Miao said apologetically.
"Then I can come to this firm. I'm good at cleaning."
Rume seemed a little anxious, and a little impatient.
However, Yin Miao rejected Lu Mei on the grounds that she was not responsible. Since she was someone with problems, she would definitely not stay by her side.
