    Ding Erkang got off the car in Nanma first, and was really homesick after being away from home for two months.

    Xiuzhen and Zhongwen continued to drive back to Jiao's house. As soon as they entered the gate of Jiao's house, the doorman said happily, "I finally came back. Someone from the county government came to discuss things with you. It's a good trip. The old man has been looking forward to it all day.  The stars look forward to the moon and look forward to your return!"

    Zhongwen said curiously when he heard this: "Oh, what can the county government do for us?"

    The man said: "I don't know, the old man has already been to the county government once, you should hurry up and ask!"

    When Zhongwen and Xiuzhen knew that the matter was urgent, they hurried to the inner hall to meet the old man.

    The old man of the Jiao family was leaning on the bed to rest at the moment. He closed his eyes and thought about the big and small things that happened at home recently, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

    Just heard a burst of messy footsteps coming from the door, followed by Zhongwen's voice: "Grandpa, we are back!"

    When the old man of the Jiao family heard it, he suddenly became energetic. He hurriedly stood up to greet him and said, "Are Zhong Wen and Xiu Zhen back?"

    Zhongwen replied loudly: "Yes, Grandpa and I are back with Xiuzhen, how is your health?"

    The old man of the Jiao family said, "It's okay, I'm just worried about you two, and I'm lying on the bed thinking about you! Why didn't you hear Xiuzhen?"

    At this time, Xiuzhen hurried forward and said, "Grandpa, it's not that you don't know that Zhongwen is a quick-tempered person, so I won't be able to speak. Grandpa, we have completed the task you assigned and returned."

    The old man of the Jiao family said happily: "Oh, tell me."

    Xiuzhen said: "This trip not only found a partner for oil seed extraction in Shanyang County, but also went to Kaifeng to buy a newest oil press machine. I heard that it was made in a country in England, and the oil can be extracted quickly.  , and the oil yield is high. Grandpa, shouldn¡¯t you reward us both?¡±

    After listening to what Xiuzhen said, the old man of the Jiao family stroked his beard with his hands and listened carefully: "England, I seem to have heard of this country. Do the Eight-Power Allied Forces have them? Do you dare to believe this country's machine?"

    Zhongwen explained: "Wei Yuan's "Haiguo Tuzhi" said that "the barbarians learn their skills to control the barbarians". Their machines are more advanced than ours, so we take them and use them. One day we will also make them better than them.  Fortunately, the machine is here!"

    The old man of the Jiao family nodded frequently while listening, and said: "Yes, Zhongwen has made great progress this time, and he can explain such a set of truths. It seems that the saying of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is right.  You have to get acquainted with it!"

    Xiuzhen nodded and said, "Grandpa, we really gained a lot from this trip. It opened our horizons, gained insights, we did business and made friends, it was so worth it!"

    The old man of the Jiao family said: "That's right, as long as there is something to gain. You two should rest first, and I will go to the county government office with me tomorrow morning."

    Zhongwen asked: "Grandpa, what's going on, the guy told me the county government had something to do with us as soon as we entered the door, and I wondered if there was something bad going on?"

    The old man of the Jiao family hurriedly explained: "It's not a bad thing, and I can't tell if it's good or bad. It's just that the emperor had approved the establishment of a chastity archway for Xiuzhen a while ago, and the county magistrate ordered the craftsmen to work overtime.  The archway was erected in half a month. He was going to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony and invite the magistrate and the county gentry to participate. At that time, someone from our family must be present, and Xiuzhen must also attend. The magistrates of the county have already posted invitations  Let's go to the "Fuchun Tower" to have a banquet and discuss the matter of cutting the ribbon."

    When Xiuzhen heard this, her eyes went dark, and she stammered and asked, "Did you erect the archway so quickly?"

    The old man nodded and said: "Well, I heard that the county magistrate attaches great importance to this matter and personally supervised it. Therefore, our Jiao family should fully cooperate!"

    Zhongwen said at this time: "Once this archway is erected, how will Xiuzhen live in the future!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
