Chen Afu returned home carrying the dying orchid.

The yard was quiet. Dabao was sitting under the eaves reading a book. Zhuifeng and Wangcai were dozing at his feet. When he saw Chen Afu coming back, he put down his book and went to meet him, asking, "Mother, how is sister Yan'er?"

Because he was worried about Chu Hanyan, he did not take a nap after lunch and sat here waiting for his mother.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Sister Yan is fine. She has already finished her meal and gone to bed." He then asked, "Why didn't you take a nap? Go and sleep for a while. Children won't grow taller if they don't get enough sleep."

Dabao pointed at the flowers and asked, "Why did you bring home a pot of dying flowers?"

Chen Ahfu said, "This is a pot of orchids. Mom, see if you can keep it alive."

The mother and daughter went directly to the new courtyard. Dabao went back to the east room to sleep. Chen Afu asked her followers Zhuifeng and Wangcai to go to the east room as well, and she went to the west room alone. Qiqi and Huihui didn't know where they went. She closed the doors and windows and moved the flowers into the space to see if the spiritual energy here could heal the flowers. If not, she would try the swallow feces.

Seeing that Jin Yanzi was still busy with her big tail cocked, she said, "Jin Bao, Master Wu Zhi asked me to help him grow this flower. You must not eat it as a dish."

The golden swallow's little mouth was busy, so it shook its long tail to show that it understood.

After leaving the space, Chen Ahfu remembered the purse that Manager Luo gave her. She took it out and found a silver note of five hundred taels of silver inside.

Such a large performance bonus is not only a recognition of my work, but also an advance payment for the girl's future living expenses.

Chen Ahfu smiled. He said that he would use half of the money to build a house and buy furniture to build a beautiful home. In the future, the little girl would often visit her home, so that she could grow up in a beautiful environment. The little girl's clothes would also be made by her family, so he must find a way to dress her up more beautifully. In addition, he would make some toys that the kindergarten kids in his previous life liked to play with...

She put the banknotes away and began to draw several Hello Kitty figures of different shapes on paper, including Hello Kitty dolls, Hello Kitty bags, Hello Kitty cotton slippers, and cotton nightgowns embroidered with Hello Kitty. The cotton slippers and cotton nightgowns were the styles of her previous life. They were not only beautiful, but also kept her warm in the winter. In order to make the cotton nightgown look less bulky, she also sewed small diamond-shaped squares on it.

However, it cannot be called Hello Kitty, as the name is too strange, so it was changed to Lucky Cat. Although it is a bit old-fashioned, it caters to the pursuit of people in this era.

After Wang and Gao finished making the two sets of clothes, they were asked to make these things. Two sets were made, one for the embroidery workshop and one for Miss Chu.

Now Gao would spend at least two hours every day going to the second room to help Wang with needlework. She did simple sewing, starching, ironing, etc., while Wang did embroidery, buttons, and sewing the most critical parts of clothes.

Later, I will talk to Manager Luo and ask if the embroidery workshop can give us some accessories to make in-house. This can also be considered as finding a long-term job for Wang and Gao.

At dinner, Chen Ahfu told Chen Ming about the silver reward from Lord Chu. She didn't tell them the exact amount, and she couldn't tell them too much about her financial situation, otherwise she wouldn't be able to take out the 40 taels of gold and so many good things in the space.

He also said that Manager Luo hoped that their family would build the house quickly and better, and that he would ask the Chu family's tenants to help clear the bushes tomorrow.

"Dad will hire some people to clean up tomorrow. It's not good to hire all the people from Tangyuan. Don't be afraid to spend money. Your daughter is rich now." Chen Afu said generously.

Then, he gave Chen Ming another five taels of silver and asked him to go to the town to exchange them for copper coins as wages for the people who cleaned and repaired the house. They had to be paid higher wages because the family did not provide lunch.

In the evening, Chen Afu no longer needed to help Wang, so he, Alu and Dabao followed Chen Ming to read and write.

Painting can be said to be self-taught, but reading and writing must be learned. Even if you have a photographic memory, you still have to read it through.

The next day, Chen Afu got up early to make steamed cakes for the children. Since becoming a kindergarten teacher, Chen Afu has been busy like a top, getting up early and going to bed late every day, and she can't even sleep in.

She now hoped very much that the new house could be completed soon so that she could have an earthen oven and make many delicious snacks, which would save her a lot of trouble.

When she opened the door, a cold wind blew in snowflakes.

Oh, it's snowing. This is the first snow this year.

Chen Afu was somewhat delighted. In her previous life, she had lived in the south, where it rarely snowed. Even if it did, it was mostly rain and light snow, not this heavy.

She came to the yard, spread out her hands, and caught the snowflakes, feeling them drifting into her palms and melting into water droplets.

"Are you stupid again? What if you catch a cold? Come into the house quickly." A voice came. It was Wang who came over with firewood.

Now all the snacks are made in the new yard. Wang boils the brown rice in a pot in the old yard and then makes snacks here.

Now that the family is busy and we have more money, we buy firewood with money.

Wang watched Chen Ahfu put the batter made with eggs, sugar and some seasonings into the covered tea bowl, and then put the tea bowl into the pot to steam. After steaming, it turned out to be a light yellow bubble snack, which was lovely to look at. Take a bite, it is sweet, soft, fragrant, and delicious.

Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "It would taste better if there was milk."

Wang said, "This is already very delicious. I don't know what's wrong with your brain to come up with all these fancy dishes."

After finishing the first pot, she started to make the second pot. While Wang was checking the porridge, Chen Afu sent a piece of cake into the space. Jin Yanzi didn't know which apartment she was sleeping in. She put the cake on a leaf and hurried out.

Chen Ahfu went to Tang Garden and handed a food box to Manager Luo. Manager Luo took it with a smile, and then watched her carry another food box to the inner courtyard, and he was not as embarrassed as before.

On the fifth day of this month, Chen Afu consciously did not rest, but waited until the tenth day to rest.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Chen Ming and Wang Shi knew that the young noble lady would come to their home the next day, and they were so nervous that they cleaned the two courtyards and the house. Even Wang Shi, who had not left the house for many days, went out and went to the town with Chen Ming to buy food.

At the same time, I have to buy some school supplies for A-Lu. On the 11th, A-Lu will officially go to the private school in Sheungshui Village.

On the tenth day, Chen Afu got up early. He first went to the space to check the orchid. It was much better than at the beginning. The flower stems had turned green and the leaves had stretched out. But it was not very strong yet and needed to be nurtured for a few more days.

Chen Afu was still somewhat delighted as he had found another way to make money.

She heard a voice coming from above her head, "Fu Ma, you are allowed to bring this flower in because it is a rare species. It does not disgrace Yan Chenxiang to put it here. Don't even think about bringing in any other crooked flowers or weeds."

Chen Ahfu was furious. How did it know what I was thinking? This little thing was very clever when it was smart.

He ignored it and slipped out of the space.
