"Do you want to follow me to Changzhou City?" Xia Mingyue asked.

"Yes." Jiang Zhuguo nodded heavily.

"Then tell me your reasons." Xia Mingyue said.

Jiang Zhuguo thought for a moment and said, "Sister Xia is going to Changzhou City to run Xia's business. She must have helpers around her. I have been with Sister Xia for a long time and have a thorough understanding of Xia's affairs. I can be Sister Xia's right-hand man and help her do a good job in Xia's business in Changzhou City."

"Everything is very stable at Xia Ji here. With Mrs. Lu, Madam Song, and Madam Zhou in charge, there are basically no problems. If I leave, it won't have much impact on Xia Ji here."

"Come again..."

Jiang Zhuguo paused, "I also want to go to Changzhou Prefecture City to gain experience with Sister Xia and become a capable manager."

When Xia Mingyue heard this, she was a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to be so motivated."

A clerk who doesn't want to be the shopkeeper is not a good clerk.

Although a clerk who is down-to-earth, able to do his job well and not think about anything else is a good clerk, a clerk who dreams of becoming a shopkeeper will, on the basis of his original job as a clerk, take on the role of the shopkeeper, consider more, observe more, and even come up with many ideas of his own.

As the scale becomes bigger, what you accomplish will naturally exceed your original capabilities and you will grow faster.

This is called ambition, but it is also ambition.

"I'm not that ambitious, but I want to prove myself." Jiang Zhuguo's expression was firm. "I think I have certain abilities."

People who are confident in doing things are always liked by others.

Xia Mingyue nodded happily in her heart, "Yes, you are indeed capable, confident, and enterprising, but this trip to Changzhou City will probably be very hard, not as easy as here in Jinqiu County."

It's a strange new place, and I have to work with Mrs. He, so I have to consider more things when doing things.

The hardship is not only physical, but also emotional and psychological.

"I'm not afraid." Jiang Zhuguo's words were still very firm, "I have confidence, determination, and patience."

She had to make a career.

Like Sister Xia, independent, strong, tenacious... and have a certain amount of money.

In this way, she can transform from a delicate grass into a thriving towering tree and be able to withstand the wind and rain of this world.

Xia Mingyue was somewhat moved by Jiang Zhuguo's firmness when he said these words, and she felt more relieved.

The little girl who escaped here with tears and pain on her face is growing up step by step towards the sunshine.

More than she expected.

Xia Mingyue smiled and nodded, "Since you are so determined, you can come with me to Changzhou City."

"Okay." Jiang Zhuguo nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Sister Xia."

Give her such an opportunity.

"There's no need to thank me. It all depends on your future performance. If you don't do enough in Changzhou City, you will be sent back." Xia Mingyue said with a smile.

"I understand." Jiang Zhuguo nodded vigorously again.

After settling on this matter, Xia Mingyue first explained to the other people in Xia's Central Kitchen that she and Jiang Zhuguo would need to go to Changzhou City for some time, and asked Jiang Zhuguo to hand over the work in his hands to Madam Song and Madam Zhou in the next few days.

Afterwards, Xia Mingyue went to the Lu family's house next door and explained everything clearly.

Mrs. Lu was also aware of the previous discussion between Madam He and Xia Mingyue on cooperation. She also knew that Xia Mingyue would have to go to Changzhou City sooner or later, so she was mentally prepared.

"You and Zhuguo can go, my wife and I are here to look after the family, Madam Song, Madam Zhou and others, I guarantee nothing will go wrong." Mrs. Lu made assurances again and again, which reassured Xia Mingyue, "Brother Youcai is fine, too, he just needs to stay in bed and rest, it won't take much of my time and energy, I will definitely help you and your wife take good care of the business."

"With my sister-in-law at home, I feel really relieved." Xia Mingyue said a little embarrassedly, "But it really makes my sister-in-law worry and busy, and even busier."

"If you say these polite words again, I will be really angry." Mrs. Lu was angry and patted Xia Mingyue's hand, "We are a family, we are not allowed to say two different things."

"Yes, sister-in-law is right, we are a family." Xia Mingyue smiled.

After talking with Mrs. Lu for a while, and roughly explaining the division of labor between her and Jiang Zhuguo during their absence, Xia Mingyue went to look for Yin Lingyou while it was still early.

One is to explain that she went to Changzhou City and was not at home.

Secondly, I would like to ask him to help look after Xia Ji during this period of time, especially to take care of Zhao Youcai's injuries.

Yin Lingyou readily agreed to this.

After all, he is usually fed by Xia Mingyue, and he needs to show his effectiveness at the critical moment.

In this way, you can receive more food!
This is a virtuous cycle that must be maintained.

After roughly arranging Xia Ji's affairs, Xia Mingyue took some time to go to the orchard and told Guo Kanglai to just make decisions on the orchard's affairs for the time being.

Then, it was the vermicelli workshop in Zhaojiazhuang...

All the people who needed to be notified had been notified, and all the things that needed to be arranged had been arranged. Xia Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, took a pen and paper, and wrote a letter.

The letter was addressed to Lu Qiyan, explaining that she was going to Changzhou Prefecture to develop Xia's business, and told Lu Qiyan not to worry too much, and also reminded Lu Qiyan to take good care of himself in the army.

After writing the letter, Xia Mingyue asked someone to send it out.

Then, he began to pack the luggage he would need to take to Changzhou City.

Jiang Zhuguo and Zhuang Cui were going together and started packing their things.

Seeing this, Wu Jin also became busy.

But it seemed that there was very little stuff in it, or even nothing that needed to be packed.

After all, he is just a family dog. As long as he has food, water and a place to sleep, and can follow his owner, anywhere is home.

But speaking of eating and drinking...

Wu Jin thought about it, and finally took the clay pot he usually used, went to the water basin, washed it clean, and prepared to take it away when the time comes.

Just when everyone was busy, Wu Xiong came to the door looking for Jiang Zhuguo.

"Brother Wu, is there anything wrong?" Jiang Zhuguo was washing clothes. Her hands were wet. She casually lifted her apron to wipe the water droplets.

"It's something urgent." Wu Xiong said hurriedly, and then looked around, "Madam Jiang, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Jiang Zhuguo was a little surprised. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded, "Okay."

Following Wu Xiong to the wall at the gatehouse, Jiang Zhuguo asked again, "Brother Wu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I heard that Madam Xia is going to Changzhou Prefecture for a while."

"Yes."

"Then..." Wu Xiong hesitated, "Will Madam Jiang go with us?" (End of this chapter)
