Chapter 662 Return to Beijing Immediately
Chapter 662 Return to Beijing Immediately
As expected, the imperial edict did not keep them waiting for long. Xiao Chiye, Xia Wanniang, and Xu Li immediately returned to the capital to report on their work.
Yifeng stayed in Beicheng to help Wei Zhen, who was on duty, handle official business. After Xu Li came back, it would be promoted to Beicheng Prefecture.
Everyone knows the situation and just hopes that he can have a good start in the future.
Although Yinyan was not transferred, his official position was promoted, so he still stayed in the Northwest City.
Rouyue and Xiaoxingyue also stayed in Northwest City.
When they knew they were leaving, they cried for a long time.
What surprised Xia Wan was that Mao Yuan made an exception and took up the position of county magistrate of Xiaobei City. Although it was not a high-ranking official position, it was still an official position.
Before he took office, he came to see Xia Wanniang and said, "Madam, thank you for teaching me a lot."
Xia Wanniang looked at this arrogant man and said, "Now that you have taken office as the county magistrate, is there anyone in the village who can teach them to read and write?"
"Yes, the mayor has arranged a new teacher." Mao Yuan only now realized that the Northwest is not a poor place, but a blessed land.
They can get more opportunities here and more places to realize their ambitions.
Xia Wanniang looked at Mao Yuan and said, "Xiaobei City is as important as Beicheng. I hope you can protect it. Make it better and let the people live better."
"I will do my best." Mao Yuan bowed respectfully.
Yu Wanwan has now passed the morning sickness period and will feel more comfortable on the road.
Before leaving, Xia Wanniang took the children back to the watermelon fields, melon fields, cotton fields and grape fields.
Except cotton, which is not the harvest season, all other crops are in the harvest season.
They took away the watermelon and melon harvest and also the wine produced last year.
Xu Mang and Wan Dong are already married and they have a very good relationship. As for the others, I hope they can find their favorite partner in the future!
Xiao Zilin and Yunshan are the ones who are most reluctant to leave this place. They have seen this place change from being a vast land with few people to being so prosperous as it is now.
"Mom, will we come back?"
Xia Wanniang looked at them and smiled: "I will be back."
Xiao Chiye and the others were already waiting for them in the carriage: "We should leave now. We need to hurry to Maocheng and take a boat to the capital."
Aunt Xiao looked at the northwest again from behind the curtain of the carriage. Her husband had guarded this place all his life, and now her children had built it up so well.
She looked at Xiao Chiye: "Sanlang."
Xiao Chiye looked at her: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"If I can still go back to the Northwest, I want to bring your father and his family back to the Northwest and let them see what the Northwest they have been protecting has become now."
Xiao Chiye: “Okay.”
He thought for a moment and said, "Are we going back to Liuyang Village?"
Aunt Xiao: "I want to accompany your father and your brothers and sisters."
As soon as Xia Wanniang got on the carriage, she heard the conversation between the two people, but didn't say anything.
Xi Bao and Xi Le rode in the carriage with them, and there was another carriage belonging to several ancestors.
Aunt Xiao looked at her: "Wan Niang, will you blame me?"
Xia Wanniang smiled and shook her head: "Mom, I'm actually reluctant to leave the northwest. We built this place bit by bit, and I want to see it become better."
"But what about the house in Liuyang Village?" Aunt Xiao felt unhappy.
Xia Wanniang: "The house there will not be wasted. We plan to turn it into a nursing home to accommodate retired veterans who have no one to rely on. The property there is also enough to cover their living expenses."
Aunt Xiao: "You, what about your father?"
Xia Wanniang looked at her with a smile: "Mother, I have already made arrangements. I have also put some of the property under Brother Yin's name. In the future, they will have no worries about food and clothing."
Aunt Xiao held her hand and said, "You have really thought it through."
Xia Wanniang: "My eldest son is in the Northwest military camp, my second son is reluctant to leave the crops he grows in the Northwest, my third son likes the diverse languages here, and as for our two little girls, they haven't found a place to go yet."
"If I don't go back to the Northwest, how can I bear to leave them?"
Aunt Xiao nodded while crying. This place was magical. All their family’s concerns were placed here.
Xi Bao ran to her side and said, "Grandma, we will stay with you too. We won't go anywhere."
Xile raised his hand to wipe her tears: "Well, we are not going anywhere, we will stay with you."
