“There aren’t enough mattresses at home, I need you to go and get some more,” Yue Jiaojiao urged quickly. “It’ll be hard for Xianjun to stay here the first few nights. You’ll need to stay in Xiangjun’s room for a while, I’m afraid that something might happen to her at night.”

Madam Qin did not delay any longer and spoke. “Don’t worry. With Doctor Sun around, Miss Li will definitely be fine.”

“Of course. Madam Qin, be careful on the road.”

Doctor Sun happened to arrive with a medicine box. When he heard her words, he called out to her, “Could you go to Huichun Hall and find Doctor Zhou? He has some calming pills that have been concocted, which could be helpful for Xiangjun. Please bring some back.”

“Alright, I’ll make sure to drop by.”

Madam Qin left in a hurry.

Yue Jiaojiao watched as she left the room, and then brought Doctor Sun back into the room.

Li Xiangjun was still having the nightmare.

Doctor Sun took one look and immediately opened the medicine box to take out silver needles. He walked to the side of the bed and pressed on Li Xiangjun’s pulse before applying the needles to her acupuncture points.

When Li Xiangjun had stabilized, Doctor Sun finally straightened up.

“Doctor Sun, is there any way for her to get better sleep? If she continues like this, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for her to recover in the long term.”

“Miss Li’s heart is troubled, and it’s hard to cure her unless she can figure it out herself and slowly get out of it. Doctor Zhou has the medicine necessary for her.” Doctor Sun waved his hand. “Speaking of which, these are things that have happened before. When Chen Xiaolang’s mother was pregnant, it was Doctor Zhou that took care of her. At that time, he studied hard and really came up with a few kinds of medicine that wouldn’t hurt the child.”

“Doctor Zhou helped Madam Chen?” Yue Jiaojiao recalled the strange incident between Doctor Zhou and the Chen family during the new year. “I really wouldn’t expect that.”

“Doctor Zhou has taken care of her for so many years. Now that he’s old, I don’t know when we’ll get a result.” Doctor Sun carried the medicine box on his back and flicked his sleeves. He then handed a seal to Yue Jiaojiao. “Stamp this seal on a piece of paper and send it to Jiangnan through the courier station. The people there will help you find him. If that brat Fang Tianliu doesn’t come back, when he finds out about this in the future, he’ll probably die with regrets.”

“Thank you, Doctor Sun.” Yue Jiaojiao clutched the seal in her hand. “I’ll return it to you after we’re done using it tomorrow.”

“Keep it with you. I’m getting old, and if I need help in the future, I’ll have to ask you and Zhao Zhan for help. I’ll leave it with you, what if I lose it one day? At that time, I won’t be able to find help even if I want to.

“Take this as my present to Zhao Nian for his one-month-old birthday, ” Doctor Sun teased Zhao Nian. “Alright, I’ll be going back now.”

Li Xiangjun was already sleeping soundly. Yue Jiaojiao carried Zhao Nian and stayed in the room for a while longer before returning to her own room.

Zhao Zhan, who had been standing guard at the door, saw her come out and pulled her to the door.

“Zhao Zhan, what’s wrong?”

Zhao Zhan took the child from Yue Jiaojiao’s arms and held her in his arms. He pointed to the carriage at the door and said, “This carriage was just sent over from Huai County.”

He went around to the back of the carriage and opened the door. With one hand on her waist, he carried Yue Jiaojiao up.

“You ordered this?”

“Before the child was born, I asked someone to have it custom-made. I didn’t expect it to drag on until now.” Zhao Zhan pressed on the cushion in the carriage. “Jiaojiao, do you think there’s anything else that needs to be changed? The workshop’s business has stabilized, and the carriage has been bought. I plan to travel around with you in the future.”

The interior of the carriage was huge.

Yue Jiaojiao sat inside and felt that if there were two or three more adults in the carriage, it wouldn’t be too crowded.

The inner walls of the carriage were made very soft.

I’ve asked someone to make a rabbit cushion on the axle of the carriage. I’ve also asked someone to make shock-absorbing cushions at the bottom of the carriage and in the middle of the frame. When you sit inside, you won’t feel dizzy from the bumps.”

“You know about the hidden rabbit?” Yue Jiaojiao thought of her own pile of manuscripts. “Did you see the pile of manuscripts I left in the study?”

“I happened to see it when I was tidying up the place. The carriage had only arrived at this time because it took a long time to make this hidden rabbit.”

As Zhao Zhan spoke, he took out a contract from his pocket and handed it to Yue Jiaojiao. “This is the sharing contract for the hidden rabbit. The seal is yours.”

“Do you have any contract that has your name on it?” Yue Jiaojiao leaned on Zhao Zhan’s shoulder. “You don’t have to go to this extent.”

Her name was on this contract, but the other contract was Zhao Zhan’s seal. This meant that all the benefits were hers, and all the responsibilities were Zhao Zhan’s.

“You deserve everything in the world.” Zhao Zhan hugged Yue Jiaojiao. “These things wouldn’t have appeared if it weren’t for you. I’ve already sorted out your manuscripts and placed them on the shelf in the study room.” Zhao Zhan’s fingers caressed Yue Jiaojiao’s shoulder and squeezed it gently. “If you need to write in the future, you can call me. I’ll write it for you. Now that you’re carrying the child all day long, your wrist must feel strained.”

“I have?”

Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but smile as she pinched Zhao Nian’s little face.

“When have I ever carried him for so long? Every time, you’ll either take him back or he’ll be lying on his own bed. I’ve never had to worry about him.”

Zhao Nian was extremely easy to lead.

It was probably because this child had inherited her intuition that he knew that his father only had his mother in his heart, so he did not dare to torment his mother, for fear that even this little bit of precarious love would disappear because of his torment.

Upon hearing Zhao Zhan’s words, even Yue Jiaojiao felt tender love for her own son.

“Speaking of Zhao Nian, I’ve prepared this for him.” Zhao Zhan pulled out a folding roller from the compartment and opened it. He then pulled out a box from the bottom of the car and pulled out a blanket as well. “This is the bed I’ve prepared for Zhao Nian.”

The small bed was very stable. One side was connected to the inner wall, and the other side was firmly supported under the car. Based on the length, it would be enough for Zhao Nian to sleep until he was four or five years old.

Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“You just said that I carried him a lot, and now you even prepared a bed for him in the carriage.”

Zhao Zhan pulled out a strap from the edge of the small bed. “There’s this too. This can be fastened around his waist so that he won’t move around too much. If there’s any shaking in the carriage, he won’t be thrown out.”

“Did you also find this in my manuscript?”

“When I was organizing it, I also read all the contents you wrote down.”

“I was only writing these manuscripts as memories. When I have the ability in the future, I’ll find a low-key way to promote these books.”

If she rashly took out the manuscript now, she was afraid that she would be captured and cut into pieces for research.

“You’re right.” Zhao Zhan recalled the shock he had felt when he saw the contents of the manuscripts. “Nowadays, almost all the businessmen in the county know about our workshop. I just exchanged letters with Wagler a few days ago.” Zhao Zhan looked at Zhao Nian, who was already asleep in his arms. He laid him down on the small bed at the side. “I’m planning to use Wagler’s connections to expand our workshop.”

A few days ago, the whole of Huai County had been busy harvesting soybeans and chilies.

Zhao Zhan brought a few managers of the workshop to sign the contract for the purchase of soybeans.

“The workshop at the entrance of the village had already expanded to a new warehouse.

“The seasoning business, soybean paste, and chili sauce can be preserved for a long time. I’ve also recently studied some meat sauce, and with the jerky I’ve been making, I can ship them to the border through Wagler’s channels.

...

“In addition, I’ve already sent people to search for shops in various places. When the time comes, we’ll use them to open restaurants,”

“I’ve been thinking about the Hundred Flavors Restaurant’s plan for a long time too…”

Zhao Zhan told her his plans for the past six months.

“I’ve already recruited a group of chefs. Now, I’m just waiting for everything to be shipped.”

Yue Jiaojiao straightened her body and looked at him. “No wonder you’ve been so quiet. Have you been doing these many things behind my back?”

Ever since he had returned from Bei City, he had been by her side.

When the child was born, Zhao Zhan only went out to work for a few days when he was harvesting to give everyone a sense of security.

He clearly didn’t have much free time, but he still managed to secretly plan so many things.

“Ever since you got pregnant, you’ve been stuck in this village all day. You like to shop in popular shops, but because of this child, you haven’t left the house for a year. At most, Madam Qin will accompany you to the next room for a while.”

Although his lover had never complained about her grievances and was engrossed in reading s at home all day, Zhao Zhan still felt that she had lost a lot of happiness being trapped at home.
