Chapter 362 Endless Aftertaste

After Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi returned home, Su Xueyi looked at the familiar environment at home and her heart couldn't help but relax.

I don’t know when it started, but he has already regarded this place as his home, a place where he can relax and feel warm.

As soon as I got home, all the fatigue in my body and mind disappeared.

Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi put their things down and said, "It's mid-afternoon now. Dabao and Erbao should be at their mother's place. I'll go call everyone over and have dinner here tonight."

As Shen Yueyao said this, she was about to run to the old house to call for help.

Su Xueyi gently pulled Shen Yueyao's arm and said, "Mother Yao, you should rest at home for a while. I will go and call them over."

Su Xueyi felt sorry for his wife and thought it would be hard for her if he asked her to do everything herself.

Shen Yueyao looked up and met Su Xueyi's distressed eyes, knowing that Su Xueyi was feeling sorry for her.

She smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, I was the same in the past."

Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Looking at Su Xueyi's expression, Shen Yueyao knew that he had something to say, and couldn't help asking: "Xueyi, do you have something to tell me?"

"Yao Niang, I want to buy a maid to take care of you and help you with some things so that you can have some relief."

Su Xueyi grew up in the Marquis' Mansion and knew that if there were a maid or a nanny by Shen Yueyao's side to help her deal with some things, she would be much more relaxed.

It’s not necessary for her to arrange everything now.

In the capital, young ladies from wealthy families would train their own confidants to manage things from a young age, so that whenever they wanted to do something, they could just arrange for their subordinates to do it.

Su Xueyi had saved some money, and he had given it all to Shen Yueyao. He still had some money, so it was no problem for him to buy a maid for Yao Niang.

She really has too much to do.

The Su family relies on Yao Niang for everything.

Shen Yueyao shook her head and said, "It's okay. It's almost the twelfth lunar month and the New Year is coming. Let's not buy a maid for now. We can buy and arrange it in the spring."

The contract signed by the manager of the workshop is also an employment contract, not a personal contract.

If she buys maids and servants, she will feel more at ease using them if they have a contract.

The workshop manager is a manager, but his job is different from that of a maid or old woman.

The rules of this era are also different from those of the technological age.

Shen Yueyao will not be a maverick and will accept the rules of this era.

After hearing what Shen Yueyao said, Su Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that saying this would make Yao Niang unhappy.

Because he knew that Yao Niang did not belong to this era.

The ideological education she received was also different from that of this era.

Shen Yueyao also knew that Su Xueyi said this for her own good.

Having some capable subordinates does make a difference.

For example, Aunt Qiu's family, because they are all slaves of the Su family, their contracts are in her hands, which is different from other people in the workshop.

So she felt more at ease employing Aunt Qiu's family.

And it will be reused more.

Of course, they are treated differently.

After talking for a while, Su Xueyi went to the old house and called Madam Meng and the others over.

Mrs. Meng came back with Dabao and Erbao.

Su Daya and Su Erya were still working in the workshop at this time.

Su Xiuye ​​also works in the winery.

When Madam Meng came over, her eyes were red.

She saw Shen Yueyao, stepped forward, grabbed Shen Yueyao's hand and said, "Mother Yao, thank you for your hard work."

"This time, you are the only one who can bring back Xue Yi by going to the academy."

"It's better to come back soon. The weather is getting colder. If there is a heavy snowfall and the mountain is closed, they won't be able to come back even if they want to."

"Your plan is good."

“It’s just been hard along the way.”

"Mom, we are all family. I don't feel tired when I go to pick up my husband. Besides, I feel relieved when he comes back. We can have a reunion year as a family."

"Yes, yes, that's it." Old Madam Meng was very happy.

Shen Yueyao looked at her red eyes and guessed that when Su Xueyi went over just now, she probably gave Madam Meng a surprise.

What mother doesn't miss her own child?

She misses Dabao and Erbao every time she is outside.

Shen Yueyao looked at Dabao and Erbao again. At this time, Su Xueyi was holding them in one hand.

The two babies hugged their daddy and asked questions happily. They looked very excited and were very close to Su Xueyi.

Now the two babies have grown a lot taller and stronger. In fact, it is a bit heavy to hold them both at once.

Fortunately, Su Xueyi had internal strength, so she didn't feel tired even though she held one in each hand.

Instead, he held them and talked to them patiently.

They could ask many questions and Su Xueyi answered them patiently.

"Daddy, are you cold on the road?"

"It's not cold."

"Daddy, do you miss me and my brother too?"

"Yeah, Daddy misses you too."

"Daddy, why did the snow melt when you came back..."

"Dad, what does your academy look like? Is it very big..."

The two treasures were very energetic and kept asking questions, which made Shen Yueyao laugh.

Mrs. Meng was very pleased when she saw this scene.

It’s good that my son is back. The house is more lively now.

Shen Yueyao said: "Mom, we are not at home on weekdays, you have worked hard to take care of Dabao and Erbao."

Madam Meng shook her head and said, "This is not hard work. I am happy to have Dabao and Erbao accompany me."

"These two kids are usually very sensible. Even though they don't say it, I know they miss you. Seeing you back, they smile more."

"Thank goodness you left me the fairy tale book. I read those stories to them every night so they can fall asleep."

When talking about the storybooks that Shen Yueyao drew and wrote herself, Mrs. Meng was amazed.

This kind of book is perfect for children's enlightenment.

There are many truths and wisdom contained in it.

If this were to be brought to the capital, it would cause a sensation.

Even Mrs. Meng liked the stories in the book very much.

I remember that the enlightenment books that my eldest, second and third children read when they were young were not like this.

Mrs. Meng also deeply realized that her third daughter-in-law was a person with great wisdom.

You know, only people who are well-read and wise can write such books.

For most families, having a rich collection of books at home is a treasure.

This is something that can truly be passed down from generation to generation, something that carries family heritage.

Shen Yueyao gave the books to Madam Meng and told her that if Dabao and Erbao couldn't sleep, she could tell them bedtime stories.

In fact, it was also thanks to the fact that Madam Meng was the daughter of a wealthy family who was carefully educated since childhood and could read and write. Otherwise, if the women in the village could not read and write, they would not be able to read storybooks at all.

"The eldest and second child are also close to their grandmother. If she wasn't just reading them storybooks, they probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Meng was also happy.

As a grandmother, she naturally loves her two grandsons from the bottom of her heart, not to mention that they are so smart and sensible.

She kept calling her grandma, and her heart melted.

During this period, she focused most of her energy on taking care of her two children and rarely went to the workshop.

But now she hardly has to worry about the workshop.

Yao Niang has arranged a manager for her, and Aunt Qiu's family are all valued by Yao Niang. They have been assigned important tasks and can help Yao Niang.

Da Ya and Er Ya are now able to take care of themselves, so Old Madam Meng is happy to have some free time.

Shen Yueyao and Madam Meng cooked together, and Su Xueyi helped while taking care of Dabao and Erbao.

When the workshop was closed in the evening, Su Xiuye ​​and Su Daya had received the news early and came to Shen Yueyao's house.

Su Xiuye ​​was very happy to see his third brother come back.

"Third brother, it's good that you're back. The weather is exceptionally cold this year, with snow falling all the time. We would be worried if you were in the academy."

"I was thinking that the academy would be closed for the holidays soon, so I came back with Yao Niang."

The two brothers began to talk.

Su Xiuye ​​didn't know about other things, he was mainly talking about the winery.

Speaking of this, Su Xiuye ​​also admired his third brother's wife from the bottom of his heart. The wine brewed with her secret recipe was really delicious.

Even ordinary wine tastes good, mellow and delicious with endless aftertaste.

People who love drinking love to come here to buy wine.

Business is very good and they are busy and motivated. The key is to brew good wine, which gives them a sense of accomplishment.

Su Xueyi looked at her elder brother talking about wine, and her eyes like star swords sparkled.

Su Xueyi could feel that her elder brother was now much more cheerful.

He was willing to talk and laugh, as if the knot in his heart had been untied.

Looking at such an elder brother, Su Xueyi was happy from the bottom of her heart.

"It's good that Big Brother enjoys doing this. If Big Brother feels tired, he can take a break and leave the winery to someone else to manage."

Su Xiuye ​​quickly waved his hand and said, "It's different. My sister-in-law asked me to help with the management because she trusts me. Besides, I feel fulfilled and happy every day because I have something to do."

"Don't remove me out of thin air."

Su Xueyi smiled gently and said, "Okay, tell me what you need, big brother."

Su Xiuye ​​looked at his third brother, patted his shoulder with emotion and said, "You, boy, have married a good wife. If it were in the capital, you wouldn't be able to find a lady like your sister-in-law among all the noble ladies in the capital."

Su Xueyi agreed with what her elder brother said.

In the evening, when everyone sat on the heated tatami and ate together, the whole family sat around the table and ate, and everyone felt warm in their hearts.

There is no rule in the Su family about not talking while eating or sleeping.

Of course, there were indeed many rules at home before I was exiled.

But now it doesn’t matter anymore.

Instead, everyone likes to talk and discuss things together while eating, which makes it more lively.

And over time, Mrs. Meng also discovered that dinner was the time when they were most likely to relax.

Because after dinner it’s time to rest, and there’s nothing to do, it’s the most relaxing time.

Everyone is willing to talk more.

Shen Yueyao said: "Mother, big brother, I plan to give everyone a holiday after the twelfth lunar month, until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Su Xiuye ​​asked, "Are we going to have a holiday right after the twelfth lunar month? There's still a month until the Chinese New Year. Even preparing for the New Year wouldn't take that long. Everyone has been working in the workshop for a long time, so they'll probably be anxious if they have to stay at home for such a long time."

"The winery's business is at its peak right now. Usually, it's around the New Year when all the shops in town close. This is too early."

When Shen Yueyao heard this, she was stunned for a moment. By this calculation, it had been a month and a half.

Su Xueyi said, "Didn't you say on the way that you had to prepare New Year gifts for everyone? The twelfth lunar month is just a few days away, so it's too late to prepare now."

Su Erya was stunned and said, "Aunt San, I'm not ready for vacation yet. I haven't even calculated and prepared the bonuses for everyone yet."

Shen Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "Then we can take a holiday in the middle of December. It's totally in time."

"This time, the year-end bonus will be calculated based on the performance of the workshop. Wages will be paid at the end of the month, and bonuses and annual gifts will be paid in the middle of December."

Su Daya asked doubtfully, "Aunt San, what's the New Year gift?"

She knew that her third aunt had set rules and regulations for the company, as well as some benefits.

During festivals, there will be holiday gifts. It doesn’t matter how much the gifts are, as long as they create a festive atmosphere.

I didn’t know that during the annual holiday, Aunt San would prepare a lot for the employees.

Madam Meng said, "There are too many employees in the major workshops. If we really want to make things ourselves, we won't have enough time."
