After Shangguan Feiyun left, Li Yun locked the door. She felt very guilty now. She shouldn't have brought Shangguan Feiyun to watch the movie, which made him addicted.

Go and wake up Ouyang Mingxuan, Ma Youcai and his wife, and Cheng Shan to have breakfast.

When everyone arrived, Shangguan Feiyun also came over.

After breakfast, Li Yun asked Shangguan Feiyun to go to bed, asked Ma Youcai to accompany Cheng Shan to see the crops she planted, and then accompanied Ouyang Mingxuan to the county town to buy a suitable yard to set up an ice workshop.

After arriving at the county town, I looked at several courtyards and finally settled on a hidden one.

After buying the yard, Ouyang Mingxuan stayed in the county town to do some work, while Li Yun went to find Xu Kun, gave him the drawings of the ice workshop, and asked him to complete it in two days.

He then bought a two-story shop in the county town, planning to use it to open a crystal product store. He gave the drawings to Xu Kun and went back.

After returning home, Li Yun entered the room next to Chen Mei and bought a lot of glass crystal beads, elastic thread and beading needles from Haoduoduo.

After putting the things on the table, Li Yun went to find Chen Mo, Qin Lanlan and Chen Mei.

"Dad, Mom, I need your help with some handicrafts." Chen Mo saw the two elders talking in the room.

"Yun'er, what kind of handicraft is this?" Qin Lanlan asked Li Yun.

"Mom, you'll know soon. You go to the room next to my aunt and wait for me. I'll go find my aunt." Li Yun said mysteriously.

"Naughty." Qin Lanlan said lovingly.

Li Yun left with a smile and went to find Chen Mei.

I found Chen Mei in her room, embroidering a handkerchief.

"Wow! The handkerchiefs embroidered by my aunt are so beautiful. Are you interested in working in the Jinxiu Workshop run by my sister-in-law?" Li Yun was amazed by the plum blossoms embroidered by Chen Mei and asked Chen Mei.

"Sister-in-law, please don't make fun of me. The embroidery I made doesn't look good at all." Chen Mei said a little embarrassedly.

"Since you don't like it, wait until you get to the capital to help your sister-in-law. Now help your sister-in-law with handicrafts." Thinking that there were already five embroiderers in Qingshan County, it would not be a good idea to let Chen Mei go there again. When she got to the capital, she would open a Jinxiu Workshop and let her work as an embroiderer, and help her manage the business at the same time.

"Beijing? Sister-in-law wants to take me to Beijing?" Chen Mei asked Li Yun in surprise.

"Of course, we are a family. I am going to Beijing to open an ice workshop and I will definitely take you with me. When we get to Beijing, I will also open Jinxiufang, milk tea, fruit and vegetable shops, and Jingpin shops. I will need your help then." Li Yun explained.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to go?" Li Yun noticed Chen Mei's abnormality and asked her.

"No, I just feel that I haven't done well and have let my sister-in-law down." Chen Mei also wants to go to the capital. The prosperity of the capital is what everyone yearns for.

Besides, if she leaves here, no one will know what she did, and no one will laugh at Xiaohua.

"Aunt, as long as you have confidence in yourself, you can do anything." Li Yun encouraged Chen Mei.

"My sister-in-law is right. I must have confidence in myself." Chen Mei encouraged herself.

"Let's go next door and help my sister-in-law with handicrafts first?" Li Yun said, and took Chen Mei to the next room.

Chen Mo and Qin Lanlan had already arrived, and Li Yun began to teach them how to string beads. They just had to pass the elastic thread through the needle, then pick up the crystal beads and use the needle to pass them through the holes in the beads.

In half an hour, they became very proficient.

"Yun'er, this looks like the bracelet you gave to County Magistrate Ma and Prince Ouyang?" The more Qin Lanlan looked at it, the more it resembled the glass bracelet Yun'er gave to her sworn elder and second brothers.

"Mom, these are the glass bracelets worn by my eldest and second brothers. I plan to open a crystal shop in the county to sell these. I will pay you one or two taels of silver for each bracelet you make. How about that?" Li Yun did not hide it from Qin Lanlan and the others, and said that he would pay them one or two taels of silver for each bracelet they made.

"No need, Yun'er, we are a family, no need to give money. Besides, we haven't used the pocket money you gave us." The bracelet cost one tael each, and Qin Lanlan was so scared that she almost couldn't hold the beads, and quickly refused.

“Mom, you have to be paid for your work, even if we’re family.

Besides, I have the ability now, so why not give you a little more money?" Li Yun asked Qin Lanlan.

"This..." Qin Lanlan didn't know how to answer and looked at the old man Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn't know what to say, so he had to lower his head and thread the beads without looking at the old woman.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want money either. You took Xiaohua and me in and provided us with food and accommodation. How could I ask for your money?" Chen Mei also refused.

"Auntie, don't you want to save some money as a dowry for Xiaohua in the future?

Besides, you are still young. If you meet someone suitable, you can remarry, and you will need money as well. ” Li Yun persuaded Chen Mei.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to get married. I just want to stay with Xiaohua until she gets married, and then I will stay with my parents." Chen Mei told Li Yun her thoughts.

"Okay, I won't marry. I'll stay with my parents." Li Yun had no choice but to agree with her.

"But you still have to collect the money and save it. When you have the chance, you can take your parents out to play, or you can use the money to buy gifts for them." Li Yun persuaded Chen Mei again.

"Okay, I'll accept the money, but not one tael of silver for a bracelet, but one tael of silver a day." Chen Mei compromised when she thought of buying gifts for her parents.

"Okay, I'll pay you one or two taels of silver a day." Seeing that his aunt said this, Li Yun had no choice but to agree.

Li Yun left and just went downstairs when he met the village chief.

"Girl, something terrible has happened." The village chief felt relieved when he saw Li Yun.

"Uncle Village Chief, what happened?" Li Yun asked the village chief in confusion.

"It's like this, it hasn't rained for four months this year. In previous years, it was the rainy season and it rained non-stop.

I just looked at the water in the river and it has decreased a lot.

If this continues, the river will surely dry up, leaving the people without water to drink and the crops without irrigation, resulting in no harvest and famine. The village chief shared his concerns with Li Yun.

"Uncle village chief, I have the same worry. Why don't we prepare in advance?" Li Yun also found something wrong. There was not a drop of water during the rainy season. In this case, the only thing they could do was to dig more wells.

"Girl, what preparations should we make?" Every time there is a drought, there is nothing we can do.

"Dig more wells, and make sure they are deeper so that more water can be produced. When drought comes, we will have water to drink.

Also, we built a large pool near the foot of Daqing Mountain and filled it with water so that we will have water to drink when drought comes.

I'll pay for the pond and let the villagers help build it, which will be faster." Li Yun thought of the reservoir. As long as a large pond with a length of 100 meters, a width of 50 meters, and a height of 200 meters was built, it would be enough for the villagers of Qingshan Village to survive for two months.

"Girl, the villagers of Qingshan Village will never forget your righteousness. The village chief will call for a village meeting and will definitely ask the villagers to help build the pond." After the village chief said this, he went to beat the gongs and drums.

As soon as the village chief left, Ma Youcai came back with Cheng Shan. Li Yun told Ma Youcai about the village chief's concerns and also told him the solution he had thought of.
