By the time Chen Dongyue finished taking a shower, it was already an hour later.

During this period, she asked for water three times and kneaded out three kilograms of mud.

Looking at the layer of mud floating on the bathtub, Chen Dongyue complained, "The wind and sand here are too strong. I haven't taken a bath for only three or four days, right?"

The two little girls assigned by Mrs. Zhang to serve Chen Dongyue were drying her hair while covering their mouths and enjoying themselves.

Two little girls, one named Taohong and the other Liulu, were only twelve or thirteen years old.

Taohong is more stable, but Liulu is also very lively.

They found that the mistress was very cheerful and easy to talk to, so they quickly became familiar with Chen Dongyue.

Liu Lu also very considerately rolled the mud that Chen Dongyue had rubbed out into a ball, and presented it to Chen Dongyue like a treasure.

When Chen Dongyue saw her, she didn't know for a moment whether to praise Liu Lu for being considerate or to scold the child for playing too dirty.

But she also took the clay pill and put it on the window sill, saying it was for warding off evil spirits.

When Chen Dongyue dried her hair and left the room, the sky outside was dark.

At this time, Song Haopo had come back with Song Yang and Song Yun.

Li Xiucai and Song Bufan are both here today.

Mrs. Zhang had already asked the kitchen to prepare the meal, and was waiting in the dining room to say that she was going to give Chen Dongyue a break.

Needless to say, Mrs. Zhang is a rich person and can make things. The tableware she brought this time all comes with a small stove.

There is a deep plate on top and a few charcoal burning at the bottom, so that even if you eat slowly, the food will not get cold.

Today, because Mr. Zhang and the others were not free to come back, Mrs. Zhang was in a particularly good mood, and even Da Dunzi said happily that she would work for eight bowls of rice.

These days, whenever Da Dunzi comes to the dinner table, Shilang Zhang will always test his knowledge intentionally or unintentionally, which makes Da Dunzi lose his appetite for food.

During the banquet, everyone asked Chen Dongyue if the trip went smoothly and if there were any injuries.

After learning that Chen Dongyue was not injured but had a few frostbite on her toes, Song Haopo immediately said that she could cure it.

"Song Ke and Song Yang always suffered from chilblains when they were young. It's okay. Just let Tugen urinate a little and add some pot ash. Apply it three or four times and it will be fine."

The formula told by Song Haopo made Chen Dongyue tremble.

She declined politely: "I'd better wait for Dr. Yao to come back and ask him to give me some ointment."

"That's right," Qiao Sanmei also felt something was wrong, "Tugen has eaten too much meat recently, and he can't even pee. A few days ago, this brat went crazy and wet the bed. The mattress was wet for three days. It still tastes bad.”

"Mom~~~It's time to eat!" Shuihua whispered, reminding her mother, who was very talkative.

Song Bufan also scolded: "You are really a mother-in-law. Didn't you see that Mrs. Zhang is so disgusted by you that you can't even eat?!"

"No, no," Mrs. Zhang waved her hand quickly, "I'm really full. I'm a little older, so my appetite is naturally not as good as when I was young."

At this time, everyone looked at Song Haopo and Mr. Lu.

Song Haopo had already eaten three bowls of rice, and the bone plate in front of Mr. Lu was filled with chicken bones.

Mrs. Zhang laughed and said that being able to eat was a blessing, and both of them were blessed.

As expected, everyone enjoyed the dinner without Mr. Zhang.

After dinner, Mrs. Zhang took Chen Dongyue to discuss opening an academy.

Jun Lan and Song Haopo's legs went weak at the same time.

But neither of them dared to say that they didn't like reading, and the other couldn't tell their daughter-in-law how to spend money, so she could only let Chen Dongyue do whatever she wanted.

Chen Dongyue thought, since the handicraft workshop and the embroidery workshop are open together, the academy can also be opened in that area.

Then Junlan Tugen and the others can take the shuttle bus to and from school, and can go to the delicious restaurant for dinner after class. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

Hearing what Chen Dongyue said, Dadunzi was the first to raise his hand in agreement, "I think it's good to just leave it like this!! The area in Xiaoheyan Lane can be regarded as a quiet place in the middle of the hustle and bustle. It's just right for our academy to be opened there."

"You two can talk to yourselves quite well," Mrs. Zhang held the handkerchief and smiled: "Opening an academy is not a business, it requires more than just two or three shops!

What about Xiaoheyan Alley? Are there so many empty yards for you to open an academy? "

"This is not easy!" Dadunzi looked at his mother with a smile, "As long as the money is enough, I will definitely be willing to move to a better place!"

Mrs. Zhang poked Da Dunzi in the head, "You prodigal thing, this time your sister Dongyue opened an academy, you have to learn some skills, you know? Don't just think about eating and drinking all day long."

After saying that, she took out a banknote from her wide sleeve and slapped it in front of Chen Dongyue, "Dongyue, take the money first. If it's not enough, ask for it from me."

Chen Dongyue picked up the banknote and took a look.

“Five thousand taels is too much!!”

She almost roared these words.

You're crazy. What kind of academy costs five thousand taels?

Thinking about the two houses she bought in Xiaoheyan Lane, the embroidery shop is larger, only one hundred and eighty taels. The handicraft workshop was built in two directions, with three shops and three rooms, and it only cost one hundred taels.

Five thousand taels! ! !

"Are you planning to buy the entire Xiaoheyan Alley?!" Chen Dongyue said suspiciously.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it okay?!"

"Ah?!" Chen Dongyue who asked the question was stunned, "I don't know."

"Aren't you on good terms with the prefect's wife? Why don't you go and ask her?" Mrs. Zhang seemed to really want to buy the entire alley.

Dadunzi also clapped his hands and said, "If that alley is bought, my delicious restaurant can also be moved to Xiaoheyan Alley! By then, the alley will belong to our family, so we can open whatever shop we want." ?"

"...There's no one there at all!" Chen Dongyue had to emphasize the reality.

But Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "No one is not afraid. When the time comes to build bridges and roads and open the alley to a spacious place, people will naturally come.

But it's still early to talk about this now. Let's start the academy so that Dadunzi can go to school as soon as possible. Otherwise, his father would probably take him back to the capital to study, and the family would definitely not be at peace by then. "

The academies in the capital are filled with top students from all over the country. It will only be more difficult for Zhang Dezhao to study there.

Mrs. Zhang didn't want her son to be suppressed by his father every day, so she hoped that her son could stay somewhere not far or near the capital.

As for whether her son can become a talented person...she can only burn more incense and leave it to fate.

Chen Dongyue nodded and said she would go to Yahang tomorrow to ask if it was possible to buy the entire Xiaoheyan Alley.

Since there are big investors providing money to invest and help with errands, Chen Dongyue is still very happy.

After finishing talking about the academy, Mrs. Zhang took Da Dunzi and went back to continue her endorsement.

Just when Chen Dongyue wanted to leave, Song Bufan and Qiao Sanmei came to the living room to look for her again.

"Dongyue, our land has been bought," Song Bufan said happily: "But it will take a year and a half to build the house, so I guess I will have to bother you in the village for a while longer."

"What are you talking about?" Chen Dongyue pretended to be angry, "Since you want to build your own house, you must build it well. You can live in the village for as long as you want. Earthen roots are also good at home, and the dried eggplant pickled by the old lady can be used. Finished for us.

Otherwise, that thing can probably only be twisted into hemp rope and used to tie people up. "

The couple chatted and laughed with Chen Dongyue for a while before leaving.
