Chapter 119 Going to Ganzhou
Chapter 119 Going to Ganzhou
At noon, the Zhou family came back from working outside and found out that Qin Ruo had returned, so they all went to Qin's house.
Even if they didn't come, Qin Ruo would have gone there anyway.
When everyone arrived, Qin Ruo told the Zhou family directly that the main purpose of her return this time was to take Zhou Dazhu to Taihe County tomorrow.
Letting Zhou Dazhui accompany Xue Jing to Ganzhou was purely to let him go out and broaden his horizons.
This was also what Qin Ruo and Xue Jing agreed on before they came back.
This time, Xue Jing will take the ingredients that Qin Ruo got and go to Ganzhou to test the waters first.
Xue Jing said that if time was sufficient, they would visit other provincial capitals along the way.
Qin Ruo’s idea was very simple, which was to train Zhou Dazhui.
Although Zhou Dazhui is not particularly smart, he is down-to-earth, hard-working, humble and eager to learn. He also completed the tasks assigned to him some time ago very well.
The Zhou family has good character and is trustworthy, so Qin Ruo also wants to help the Zhou family.
Xue Jing is a businessman with insight and courage. Zhou Dazhu is able to gain experience by his side, which is an opportunity not everyone has.
When Zhou Dazhu's parents, Zhou Cheng and Bai, heard Qin Ruo say that she wanted Zhou Dazhu to go to Ganzhou with someone else, they hesitated.
Although Dazhu is only thirteen years old, he is usually calm and steady. Not to mention his ability to endure hardships, which is obvious to all.
But after all, he was only thirteen years old, and the farthest place he had been to in the past was Taihe County.
He suddenly said he wanted to go to Ganzhou, and Qin Ruo also made it clear that it was hard to say whether he could come back before the New Year.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Cheng were really worried.
"Sister A Ruo, I'll go. It doesn't matter whether I can spend the New Year at home or not. There are plenty of opportunities anyway. I just want to see the outside world."
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. Grandpa, Grandma, you don't have to worry about me, I'm grown up, I will definitely do everything Sister Ruo asked me to do, and I won't let you down."
Zhou Dazhu's eyes were full of passion. He didn't want to miss this hard-won opportunity.
Actually, thirteen years old was not considered young. Some families in the village started discussing marriage at the age of thirteen.
My grandparents are old, and my parents have no better way to make a living at home except farming.
He hopes to build a career for himself, he also wants to stand out from the crowd and improve his family's living conditions.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dazhu immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times to Zhou Cheng and his wife, as well as Old Man Zhou and Old Lady Zhou.
Seeing that Zhou Dazhu was determined to leave, Bai turned her back and wiped her tears.
Her son has grown up without ever leaving home, so she is both worried and reluctant to let him go.
"Alright! Alright! Get up, Dazhu. Now that you've made up your mind, just do it. Be careful when you go out, and behave yourself wherever you go! Don't let your sister A Ruo down."
Old Mrs. Zhou's eyes also turned slightly red, but she was much calmer than her son and daughter-in-law.
A Ruo would not harm the Zhou family, and she knew in her heart that Qin Ruo valued Da Zhu.
"A good man has great ambitions. Dazhu, grandpa supports you. If you have anything in the future, you must listen to your sister Ruo." Old Man Zhou patted Zhou Dazhu's shoulder earnestly.
Old Mrs. Qin looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't get a word in. She was very anxious.
After waiting for a long time for the Zhou family to finish speaking, they hurried forward.
"Ruo'er, you said Dazhu is going to Ganzhou with Mr. Xue this time, so are you going with them?"
Qin Ruo did not answer Old Lady Qin's words first, but instead turned her gaze to the Zhou family.
"You don't have to be so nervous. Master Xue travels all year round, and he is accompanied by servants and guards, so his safety is guaranteed. It's just that the journey from Taihe County to Ganzhou is several hundred miles, and Dazhu will have to endure some hardships..."
"Sister A Ruo, I am not afraid of hardship. I can do it." Zhou Dazhu was nervous and excited, and hurried forward to express his opinion.
The Zhou family has lived in Changhe Village all their lives, and the farthest place they have been to is Taihe County. They do not understand how powerful Mr. Xue’s identity is.
But when he heard that the Xinglin Hall and the money houses in Taihe County that he had seen before were all related to Master Xue Jing, his nervous mood suddenly relaxed.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Qin Ruo was full of gratitude. Not everyone has the opportunity to go out with a wealthy businessman to gain experience and gain knowledge.
Qin Ruo confirmed the departure time with Zhou Dazhui and prepared the necessary things before Qin Ruo turned around and answered the question that Old Lady Qin had just asked.
"Grandma, I won't go with you this time. The restaurant is preparing to open, and there's still a lot to do."
Qin Ruo briefly told them what she had been busy with recently.
Only then did Old Lady Qin and the Zhou family know that Qin Ruo had also bought a restaurant which would open soon.
This news really shocked them.
"It's obvious that Ruo girl is going to do big things. She bought a big restaurant without saying a word. The young are really formidable. Our Ruo girl is not inferior to those men out there."
Old Man Zhou praised sincerely that the Qin family's life was getting better and better.
As long as the Zhou family works hard to follow Qin Ruo's footsteps, they will be fine.
"That's right. It's really a blessing for our family that Ruo'er can help our Dazhu." Old Mrs. Zhou's words were not polite or flattering, but came from the heart.
"Good! Good!" Old Mrs. Qin was so excited that she almost slapped her thighs until they turned red.
When he learned that the restaurant Qin Ruo bought was the former Fu Man Lou, he immediately felt proud.
She hasn't forgotten that Manager Zhang.
Erlang said at the beginning that the other party had deliberately made things difficult for Ruoer.
Didn't expect it? The situation has changed. Ruo'er is capable! She bought the restaurant right away, which made him so angry.
If the Zhou family members had not been present, Old Lady Qin would have put her hands on her hips and laughed out loud.
Zhou Dazhui is about to go to Ganzhou, and the follow-up work of the fish pond and the matters on the wasteland will fall on the shoulders of Zhou Lao and his men.
Old Man Zhou was a little sad that his grandson was about to go on a long journey.
Now that Qin Ruo's matter has been settled, why should I be sad?
I just wish I could have a clone.
Because Qin Ruo placed another "big order" with the Zhou family.
That is, the Qin family is going to build a new house after the New Year and ask Old Man Zhou to help build some basic furniture.
Zhou Dazhui has to follow Qin Ruo back to Taihe County at noon tomorrow, and Bai Shi can't sit still anymore.
So he said goodbye in a hurry and rushed home to pack Zhou Dazhu's bag for the trip. He also wanted to make a new pair of shoes for Zhou Dazhu to wear when he left tomorrow.
Bai thought it through thoroughly. It didn't matter what Dazhu wore when he was at home. As long as the clothes were clean, it didn't matter if they were a little worn out.
But you still have to behave decently when you go out, otherwise people will look down on you.
After Mrs. Bai left, Old Man Zhou and a few others sat and chatted for a while, then followed her back.
Before leaving, Qin Ruo stuffed a bunch of things into their mouths.
There were meat, dried goods, sugar and other foods in it, as well as a few pieces of cotton cloth.
After living together for so long, the Zhou family also knows Qin Ruo's personality very well, so just take what the other party gives them.
Everyone thanked him and hurried home.
Dazhu is leaving tomorrow, so the Zhou family cherishes the time they spend together now.
