Chapter 49: Back to the Village
The speed of the return trip is not fast, Jiang Da and others mainly want to bring more expensive goods such as gemstones, agates, spices, and other more expensive goods from the Sith country, the price of these goods is very high even if they are purchased, they do not have so many financial resources to buy a large number of goods, so on the way back they have to continue to exchange other goods to make money.
Therefore, the return trip began in early March, and the stop-and-go transaction was delayed for a long time, and when everyone arrived in Shiqiao Town, it was almost the end of April, but the time was also just right, and Wu Qingyuan still has nearly half a month to prepare for the wedding.
On this day, when it was just dawn, on the road outside Shiqiao Town, a group of dusty merchants escorted more than a dozen carriages full of goods into the gate of Shiqiao Town.
“Brother Jiang, this looks like the right time, why don’t you go back to the village with me, negotiate the price of mountain goods with the village chief today, and go to the ger’s house for a light meal, how about letting the ger be a landlord?”
Finally entering the gate of Shiqiao Town, Wu Qingyuan stopped and wiped the sweat on his head, drank water again, and looked at the hazy sky to suggest to Jiang Da, who was walking with him.
“Okay, I’ll disturb you brother today when I’m waiting for a few brothers.”
Jiang Da readily agreed, beckoning the others to continue on the road first, while he and a few fellow runners rode back to the village with Wu Qingyuan alone.
After running for nearly three months, he finally returned home, this time on a business trip, he and Jiang Da and others made two points of friendship, Jiang Da and others themselves have been going south and north for many years and saw a lot of knowledge, but every time they chatted with Wu Qingyuan, they always felt that they still knew too little, compared to Brother Wu who had simply traveled the world to understand the customs of various places, they were really amazed and admired him.
Therefore, while chatting on the mountain road halfway, Jiang Da and others, who could have taken a short distance to the next town to get on their boats, are now going to make a circle from Shiqiao Town again, but fortunately, there are more than a few miles, and it is not bad to collect some mountain grains in the passing village.
Mountain grain is a commodity that Jiang Da must buy every time he comes out because their hometown is a boundary composed of countless large and small islands, they live on seafood, and there are very few grain and mountain goods cultivated in the interior, which is a rare thing there.
Wu Qingyuan listened to everyone who wanted to buy mountain goods and immediately led this big patron to him, it is better to benefit his own village than to make other villages reap benefits, the village chief is happy, the villagers make money, and his prestige in the village will not be the label of an ‘outsider’ in the future.
“Brother Wu!”

With a burst of excitement in his heart, he threw the rope of the imperial horse to Jiang Da beside him, quickly jumped down, and ran over, regardless of Wu Da, who laughed at him behind, and the villagers around him, he suddenly hugged Amo and smelled the refreshing breath on Amo’s body, and his heart that had been adrift for three months finally settled down.
Amo was hugged tightly by him, and after a short stunned, he blushed again, and the surrounding villagers all covered their mouths, laughing embarrassedly, but he was reluctant to push away, and finally smiled and hugged Wu Qingyuan, whispering in his ear, “Brother Qingyuan…”, the voice was sweet and joyful.
However, the two did not hug for too long, just a short hug, Wu Qingyuan was not really a person who did not care about anything, and he soon let go of him and greeted several villagers around.
“It’s good that Brother Wu came back safely…”
In fact, except for a few villagers who are more gossipy and love to provoke things, most of them are still relatively kind, plus Wu Qingyuan hired a lot of short-term workers when he burned coal before, and the villagers benefited from him, and they still liked him very much in their hearts, and they all greeted him with a smile.
They didn’t say anything about the fact that he and Amo hugged in broad daylight just now, they are people who are about to become relatives, so it’s not a big deal to hug, anyway, where do so many rules come from the small village, and Wu Qingyuan’s family letters and packages sent back in the past days, it can be seen how good his relationship between his little lover is.
After being delayed at the entrance of the village for too long, after briefly saying hello to everyone, Wu Qingyuan pulled Amo over to meet Jiang Da and others again and then pushed several truckloads of goods with everyone and returned home in the envy of the villagers.
The movements in the village spread quickly, and as soon as several people entered the door on the front foot, Zhou-ger and Lin Laogen, who got the news, rushed over, and when they saw Wu Qingyuan returning safely, they all showed a sense of relief.
The child Lin Tianbao even pounced on him and shouted: “Brother, you are back, what about Tianbao’s candies, you said in the letter that you brought delicious food to Tianbao. Where are they?”
“It’s all in the box, I’ll let Uncle Lin help you get it back later.”
Wu Qingyuan casually took out a few pieces of candies from his body to comfort and smile, he personally still likes children very much, and this is still his brother-in-law, how can he not be good to please him.
Children are very easily coaxed, especially the children in the village, a few pieces of candy to coax and a happy lively greeting later, Wu Qingyuan introduced Lin Laogen and others to the Jiang brothers while asking Zhou-ger and Amo to help make something to eat, while also asking Lin Tianbao to invite the village chief, ready to discuss the purchase of mountain goods while eating.
Jiang Da and the others don’t have much time, and people have to rush back to see their wives and children, and Wu Qingyuan naturally won’t delay too much.
As soon as he heard about cooking, Amo here was suddenly happy, and quickly pulled Zhou-ger to prepare, his cooking skills that he had studied hard for several months finally came in handy, waiting for Wu Qingyuan to cook a meal for him as soon as he came home, the young man’s thoughts and ideas were very simple.
Amo is actually really smart, he only needs to learn a lot of things, he can’t learn the entire recipe that Wu Qingyuan gave him in three months, but it is still okay to learn a small part to cope with today’s dinner table.
Rao Shijiang and others have eaten a lot of local delicacies, and they are also full of praise for Amo’s craftsmanship.
Wu Qingyuan eats more fragrantly, even if their beloved’s things are boiled cabbage, it is the most delicious in the world, so happy that Amo is happy, he doesn’t have much desire in this life, and now he wants to marry Brother Wu, and then have a baby and live as a family.
Everyone ate very happily during the meal, and after chatting a little familiar, Wu Qingyuan acted as an intermediary to mention to the village chief that Jiang Da wanted to buy mountain goods in the village.
The village does not have much income from outside, but suddenly here comes a way to make money, the village chief is of course happy, anyway, the mountain goods the villagers also sell every year, selling to anyone is the same, since someone took the initiative to collect them, saving them their own time and strength to sell is better, the village chief agreed without thinking.
In the end, Jiang Da and the others agreed with the village to purchase five thousand catties of mountain goods, and seven days later the delivery was made at the pier of Shiqiao Town, and a deposit of fifty taels was left, and the village elder’s faces were red with smiles.
In fact, Jiang Da still wants to collect some grain, but the villagers’ grain output is not high, and they have already agreed on a deal with the grain store in the town, and there is no excess to sell to them.
Jiang Da was very disappointed, rice grains are really very rare in their place, and they want to buy a large number of them and bring it back, it is more difficult to get than expensive goods because of the current mass production level in various places at most ensures the people’s food and clothing, especially fine grains, there is no excess to sell.
“If Big Brother Jiang trusts this younger brother, he may have a surprise when he comes to Shiqiao Town again when the autumn harvest is next year.”
Before leaving, Wu Qingyuan whispered to Jiang Da.
“Brother Wu, this is…” Jiang Da keenly grasped the point.
“Shiqiao Town is prosperous, the century-old foundation of the major landlords has long been standing, and this younger brother’s foundation is still shallow, if you want to fight for a place here, I’ll have to ask Brother Jiang to help.”
Wu Qingyuan smiled and said his words half-clear, but Jiang Da, as a businessman, instantly understood the deep meaning.
Remembering that Wu Qingyuan was still on the road in the Sith Country, he was constantly exchanging and buying a large amount of grain, planting, tea trees, and other things that were still being rarely exported by the country, how could he still not understand what he wanted to do, with the character of Brother Wu who loved his family, it was not strange that he wanted to be a landlord grain merchant.
“Oh, Brother Wu has a vision!”
Thinking like this, Jiang Da’s heart suddenly became excited, Wu Qingyuan, who still has a shallow foundation, can not gain a foothold in Shiqiao Town in a short time, his behavior is obviously to sell things outside, at that time, Brother Wu would sell food, his problem of not having a source is solved, the best of both worlds, win-win!
After sending Jiang Da away, Wu Qingyuan could finally breathe.
In the afternoon, the goods were simply cleaned up, and the gifts brought back to Zhou-ger and the Lin family were sent over separately, and the more valuable goods brought back in the evening were put into the space, and all the others were temporarily locked in the cellar.
These goods are in a hurry to be sold, but he has more important things to do now, that is, he is finally going to marry his wife!
In his past life and this life, Wu Qingyuan also lived for more than thirty years, and now he is finally about to start a family, and the excitement in his heart is indescribable.
He always thought that his strange temper was too difficult to meet someone who would touch his heart in this life, but obviously, god was kind to him, not only giving him the opportunity to be reborn, the opportunity to cross over but also letting him meet Amo, at this moment, he felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
So the day after returning to the village, Wu Qingyuan began to prepare for his wedding in good spirits, and the spring breeze saw that the villagers of the entire Liushu Village had only one thought in their minds, grand! Even grander than when the Zhang family’s big pillar became a couple!
