Chapter 483 What to do if you can't grow up

Song Yi waved the folding fan in his hand and asked, "How else can you make Fengxi wine besides using corn?"

"Sorghum."

"If you have any, you can send it to Fengxi Village. I'll ask them to brew it for you. They're having a hard time growing corn in the village right now."

"The distance back and forth is not close. I can't deliver it to them every time."

"Wait, I'll talk to Lord Lei and ask him to plant sorghum for the people in the nearby villages, otherwise I can't do anything."

"I see you have a lot on your plate. I'll help you find her."

"OK."

Song Yi pointed at the things on the table and said, "You only gave me a few sets. How do you want me to divide them?"

"Not enough?"

"You know we have a big family, my mother, my sister, my wife, my aunt, my grandmother..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I feel like your business will keep me busy for a long time in the future."

"Look, if it works well, I'm also promoting you."

Wen Zhenyi rolled his eyes and brought in a lot more things for him: "Is this enough?"

Song Yi nodded with satisfaction: "That's enough. Thank you."

"You're welcome. I hope Boss Song can say a few good words for you in front of the ladies."

"You're welcome, Princess."

Wen Zhenyi rolled his eyes at him again and said, "Let's go. Sir Lei, why would you bother making this trip?"

Chen Hanxing didn't go with him, but went to Wang's house to deliver something: "Why do you look so tired?"

“It just feels like there’s endless work to do.”

Huanhuan ran to her and hugged her: "Mom, I'll hold you close."

Wen Zhenyi hugged him and smiled from ear to ear: "My Huanhuan is so nice."

Xixi also came over: "Mom, I'll lean on you too."

"It's really my mother's baby."

Feng Qianlan's face was full of envy.

Wenwen Naonao looked at Wen Zhenyi and the other two, then looked at Feng Qianlan, stood up and walked to her side: "Mom, we want to support you."

Feng Qianlan also smiled and hugged the two of them: "Thank you."

Wen Yongnan looked at his two much-grown sons and said, "When you go to Xinglin Village School this time, you must listen to your great-grandfather and grandmother, and also to your aunt. Got it?"

"Dad, I understand."

"Take good care of your brothers and sisters, and don't fall behind in your studies. I'll be checking on you."

"We will definitely not fall behind."

Wen Zhenyi looked at him with a smile: "Brother, they don't miss it every day, and they also bring Huanhuanxi to exercise together."

"They are a little more energetic. If you don't find something for them to do, it will be difficult for your sister-in-law to take care of them alone."

Feng Qianlan said a little embarrassedly: "I, I'm not that tired."

Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we'll be waiting for you out front." Then he drove the carriage out of the city gate to give them some private space.

Huanhuan leaned on Wen Zhenyi: "Mom, do I have to go to school when I go back?"

"Do you want to go?"

"Is the school fun?"

"I can learn a lot of knowledge in the academy, there are many interesting teachers, and there are many friends."

"I want to go."

Xixi took her hand and said, "Mom, I want to go too."

"Go ahead."

It felt like the journey back was much faster than the journey here. When they arrived in town, they went to see Qin Xing, who was about to give birth.

Just then, Aunt Qin came to see her: "Boss."

Aunt Ji looked at Wen Zhenyi and said, "Boss, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"you say."

"Xiaoxing is about to give birth. I want my mother-in-law and Hongguang to move back to the house in the village so that it will be easier to take care of her."

"Just make your own arrangements. I'll give Aunt Qin a holiday. If you're too busy here, I'll have Aunt Yin and the others come over to take over for a while."

"No, no, there are two more people in the store now, so we have more than enough staff."

"If you feel that we are short of manpower, just tell me and I can adjust the arrangements."

"Thank you, Boss."

"You don't have to be so polite."

Wen Zhenyi didn't give them a house when they got married, but he gave them enough silver, and they used the silver to build a house in Xinglin Village.

Usually they only come back when they have a break, but they never come back to stay.

Wen Zhenyi asked Old Lady Wen and the others to go back first, and took Qin Xing and his wife with them.

Uncle Qin is temporarily in charge of registering the store's accounts. They have learned some knowledge in the past few years, so registering the accounts is not a big problem.

Feng Qianlan wanted to go back and try Meng Caidie's skin care products, so she followed her.

Shen Hanxing and Wen Zhenyi took the children to Hougang Village.

Huanhuanxi is not as happy to see the sea now, but she is not afraid because of what happened last time.

Wen Zhenyi looked at them and asked, "Do you want to learn how to swim?"

Several children looked up at her: "Is it okay?"

"Of course you can, but you can only go into the sea if you are accompanied by an adult."

"good."

Village chief Haiyun and his men were all at the beach. They had expanded the pickling fishing nets a little bit. There was only so much space on the beach, and there was no way to tell whose fish belonged to whom.

Finally, everyone decided to divide the profits based on the collective income. Each family would send someone to maintain and take care of the property, and when they had money, they would share it equally.

The portion that cannot be divided equally will be placed in the village account book and used to build village facilities.

Wen Zhenyi thought it was quite interesting, and that way everyone would work hard.

Village chief Haiyun asked the best swimmer in the village to teach a few children how to swim.

Wen Zhenyi simply instructed the children: "You must be obedient and don't mess around."

They got a positive answer, and then they were allowed to go to the sea.

Village chief Haiyun was still very cautious. He used fishing nets to enclose a safe area near the coastline overnight for them to swim.

Wen Zhenyi saw several children standing in the sea, and the waves came and knocked them down onto the beach.

Village Chief Haiyun was also very happy: "Children are still fun."

"Village Chief Haiyun, let's go check on the oysters. They should be big enough by now."

Village chief Haiyun nodded, and together with a villager pushed out a fishing boat, letting Wen Zhenyi and Shen Hanxing get on it.

Shen Hanxing looked at the rows of bamboo rafts floating on the sea in the distance: "Is this the oyster farming you mentioned?"

"Well, this batch is the first to be raised. We need to see how they grow."

"What's the problem?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure about this kind of wild breeding. Some of them will grow very slowly."

Village Chief Haiyun asked, "Why did this happen?"

"Maybe there's not much food in the sea, or maybe there's some other reason. I don't know the details, so I asked you to keep the first batch and sell the rest to other villages so I can observe the situation."

"What if something doesn't grow up?"

"This oyster farming project has to be shelved. We can't continue. Otherwise, it will take too long."
