Chapter 1344: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1344: Meng Yunzheng Tops the County Exam
Zhao Xi, being experienced, easily understood the meaning behind Shu Yu's gaze and widened his eyes in surprise.
"What? Is my brother's fiancée being eyed by someone else?"
But then he thought it through. This brother was about to leave for the capital and wouldn't be back for a while. So, there shouldn't be any problems.
Feeling relieved, Zhao Xi went back to take care of his pregnant wife.
After seeing Xiang Weinan off, Shu Yu started preparing for the production of instant noodles. Though the workshop was not busy at the moment and had space, instant noodles couldn't be produced there due to certain reasons. She realized that she needed to build a new workshop.
Shu Yu discussed this with Lu Erbai, and he immediately agreed to provide manpower for constructing the new workshop. He had enough people under his command to spare.
However, before they even began construction, a letter from Meng Yunzheng arrived.
As expected, he was ranked first in the county exam.
He also mentioned that Shu Yu's instant noodles were perfect for the exam hall, and they were suitable for people on long journeys and traveling merchants. If possible, she could consider expanding this business.
Shu Yu had already thought of this herself.

Meng Yunzheng said he was doing well, but after the county exam, he still had the provincial and metropolitan exams ahead of him. The provincial exam would be in June, and he wouldn't be back until at least July.
Although it had only been a month since he left Jiangyuan County, he already missed being back.
Zhao Xi, reading the letter, was quite disdainful. "Since when did he become so homesick?"
Shu Yu kept the letter away without letting Zhao Xi read it further.
Zhao Xi said, "..."
After replying to Meng Yunzheng's letter, Shu Yu continued to busy herself with the workshop.
Not long after, it was early Full Moon Day.
The little girl was one month old, and it was also the time for Zhou Qiao to finish her postnatal confinement. Da Niu and her discussed it and decided not to hold a grand celebration. However, they changed the venue to Shishi Village this time. They couldn't keep holding it here; it wouldn't be proper.
Also, it was time to bring the child back home after one month.
Fortunately, the house of the Lu family had been repaired and the yard was enlarged and cleaned up.
The combined families of the Lu and Zhou were at least five tables.
This time, Zhou Qiao's second Aunt and her husband attended, and they even brought their two sons and two daughters. They insisted on sitting in the same cart as Zhou's father, which was drawn by a mule.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have fit with such a small child.
When they arrived at the Lu family's house, Zhou Qiao's second Aunt sneakily looked at the other members of the Lu family, wanting to know if they were genuinely okay with the birth of Zhou Qiao's daughter, as Zhou's father had said.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, they saw Li Shi holding Zhao in her arms and boasting to the village chief's wife, "My granddaughter, she changes every day. Look at her fair and tender little face. That's all thanks to me."
The village chief's wife followed up, "If Xiao Zhao looks so good, why does it become your credit?"
"If it weren't for me stewing chicken and cooking fish for Da Niu's wife every day during her postnatal confinement, how could Xiao Zhao eat so well and grow up healthily? Tell me, isn't it my credit?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qiao's second Aunt sneered secretly. She was the one who stewed chicken and cooked fish every day, but now this woman takes all the credit?
