Chapter 796: Chapter 796: Qi Chan Returns Chapter 796: Chapter 796: Qi Chan Returns Shu Yu saw Xu Zhensheng not far ahead, and thought of the several ‘ground mice’ some kid had put in the cart, so she waved at him.
Xu Zhensheng ran over with a patter, and looked into the cart, “Where’s Dahu?”
“He won’t be back for a few days, but he asked me to bring you a gift.”
Shu Yu took out a cloth bag from the cart, “Fireworks, these were bought by my brother in the prefecture for Dahu and Sanya. Dahu specifically saved some for you, take them.”
The cloth bag was bulging, not only filled with fireworks but also some candies and pastries wrapped in paper.
These were what Dahu had brought back from visiting others’ homes on the first day of the New Year, knowing that the Xu Family hadn’t prepared many New Year’s goods, he brought some back for his little buddy.
Xu Zhensheng pursed his lips; due to his quiet and reticent nature, he didn’t have many friends in Righteous Dao Village. Dahu was his first one.
Even though he was several years younger than him, he took great care of him.
Xu Zhensheng took the cloth bag, “Thank you.”
Shu Yu waved her hand, “When he comes back, you can thank him then. Go play now, I’m heading home.”
Xu Zhensheng stepped back and stood aside to let her pass.
Shu Yu started working diligently again, and the next day when registering, she saw Second Master and his wife.
Both of them looked pale, and their bodies were shivering as if they were sick.
Clearly, the rain that afternoon on the first day was not for nothing.
Shu Yu thought they would persist in asking about Madam Hou’s matters, but to her surprise, the couple said nothing.
They didn’t meddle, and Shu Yu didn’t bother with them either.
The old lady ultimately did not wait until the sixth day, she came over on the fourth and said to Shu Yu, “I came early to prepare some dry goods for the Yao family to take back to the capital. The Yao Family has a good relationship with your father, we can’t stop interacting with them just because they’ve left, that would be too disadvantageous.”
The old lady had her own set of principles regarding social relations, and Shu Yu let her do as she wished.
Soon, the old lady bought some jerky made from game from Ma Lu and others, and also exchanged for a lot of mountain goods from the Fang Family, ready to take to the county town.
Shortly after the old lady left, Mister Qi finally returned to Heichang County.
However, he stayed in the county town for less than half a day before he followed directly to Righteous Dao Village and sought out Shu Yu.
Wang Changdong was surprised to see him personally looking for Lady Lu, quickly tidied up the study for their conversation, served the tea and snacks on the table himself, then stood outside guarding the door.
He had a feeling that Mister Qi came to look for Lady Lu because there must be something important to discuss, and it absolutely couldn’t be disturbed by others.
Qi Chan unexpectedly took a longer look at Wang Changdong, and nodded with a smile, seemingly very satisfied with his actions.
Wang Changdong immediately became excited, becoming even more attentive, “Please, teacher and Steward Lu take your time talking, just call me if you need anything.”
After he left, only Shu Yu and Qi Chan remained in the study.
Looking at the little girl in front of him who hadn’t changed much, Qi Chan couldn’t help but laugh, “I’ve come to bring you some good news. The governor was very pleased after seeing your Heating Pack and has already sent it to the Capital at full speed. However, you will have to wait a little longer for the Heating Pack to arrive, be tested, and then receive the formal recognition, so have some patience.”
Shu Yu calculated in her heart, she had a clear idea.
“I understand, it was like Uncle Yao, who also waited more than two months.”
