Mid-October is the prime time for harvesting rice.

Every household mobilized its entire population to rush to harvest the rice.

With nothing else to do, Tian Sangui took over a steamed bun shop in the West Market of the county town.

She hired three assistants to work in the shop, and she was in charge of mixing the seasonings from the various shops in the restaurant, so she became particularly free.

Someone once offered a high price to poach her employees.

Unexpectedly, the employees dismissed it.

Even if it's ten times more, how can it compare to the freedom and comfort they enjoy working now?

There are also performance bonuses and full attendance bonuses every month, which can be considered extra rewards from the boss.

Isn't that better than a one-time payment?

And wages are increasing every year.

The main thing is to do your job well, rest when you're tired, and eat whenever you're thirsty or hungry. Even if the boss sees you eating, he won't complain and will let you eat as much as you want, just like you're at home.

In such a free and comfortable environment, who would want to go elsewhere and act subservient to others?

That's why Tian Sangui felt at ease staying in Tianjia Village.

This method of winning people's hearts was quite effective in that era, and if it were applied to ancient times, it would be even more effective than a contract of servitude.

However, Tian Sangui was not one to be careless; he still needed to be wary of others.

Therefore, having the employees' contracts in hand gives one a greater sense of security.

Today is an auspicious day for raising the roof beam, and Tian Sangui and Zhang Shi were busy in the kitchen early in the morning.

Old Tian was watching over the new house and lending a hand as he went.

Because of the important event of raising the roof beam, Tian Da and Tian Er were instructed by Tian Sangui to close for one day.

The whole family was present to witness this historic moment.

The fourth and fifth children held candies in their hands, while the eldest and youngest held peanuts and melon seeds in their hands.

They waited happily on the sidelines for the beam installer to call out his name.

"The time has come, let's get on the main beam!"

The villagers who were watching started dancing and clapping when they heard the noise.

Tian Laosi waved to his sons and took their hands to climb onto the roof beam together.

Standing on the blue brick wall, he happily threw the candy in his hand to the villagers below.

The masters were directing from the sidelines.

"The higher you throw it, the more prosperous your family will be!"

The villagers below happily grabbed the wedding candies, especially the children.

They were small and thin, but agile, and always managed to snatch the candy before the adults, which made the adults behind them laugh and scold them.

At noon, Tian Sangui's family set up a feast on the road leading to their new house to celebrate the roof beam raising.

The village women brought bowls, plates, and chopsticks from their own homes and rushed to the Tian family's house to help.

The men accompanied the elderly and the masters, drinking spirits together.

The children banged on their bowls, wandering around the table in groups, laughing and playing. When they came across a delicious dish, they would approach their elders and ask them to put it in their bowls, then skip away.

The adults burst into laughter at the child's actions.

Everyone ate and drank happily under the blazing sun, their faces flushed with oil, but they didn't seem to care at all.

The laying of blue tiles will begin tomorrow, and in about a month, we will be able to move into our new house.

The whole family and the villagers were eagerly anticipating just how luxurious their brick and tile house would be.

After a busy day, Tian Sangui suddenly felt aches and pains in his back.

After taking a shower, she went to bed, wanting nothing more than to sleep until she naturally woke up.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Suddenly: "Ding!"

"Master, your happiness level is full. You can now unlock the Happy Manor!"

Would you like to turn it on now?

Fei Wangwang's ears kept slapping against Tian Sangui's face.

He forced her to open her tired eyes.

To be honest, she had no interest in knowing anything about the manor or anything like that; all she wanted was to fall asleep quickly.

Ke Fei barked excitedly in her ear, "Master, hurry up and say 'open'! The manor is a rare find, and you are the only host I'll unlock it for!"

It also wanted to see what was in the manor and what opportunities it could bring to its host!

As Tian Sangui drifted off to sleep, he unconsciously murmured, "Open...open..."

Fei Wangwang transformed into a screen, its dazzling light illuminating the entire room. Fortunately, she was alone in her room, and her family members were all sound asleep, so no one noticed.

Then a line of text appeared on the screen: Welcome to the Happy Manor! Unlock a Rose Winery and collect three stars of happiness index to unlock the Peony Rouge Manor!

Then it disappeared into the silent night.

In his dreams, Tian Sangui travels above various manors, holding a glass of red wine and riding a fat ox, soaring through the clouds or over the green grass.

One hundred and eight manors were obscured by white clouds, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not reach them. In front of her, three large red characters appeared: "Please unlock".

Helpless, Tian Sangui once again rode the fat ox into the air, with distant mountain peaks shimmering in the clouds.

Attracting Tian Sangui's attention, the fat ox flew automatically towards the mountain peak without waiting for her command.

Upon arriving, all below was covered by white clouds, leaving nowhere to stand.

We could only be carried by the fat cattle to look down from the sky and see the peaks peeking out from the clouds, shimmering with silver and gold light under the sunlight.

"Could this be the legendary gold and silver mine?"

Just as she was immersed in joy, suddenly, a wisp of seven-colored light flashed into her peripheral vision.

Tian Sangui turned his head to look, and the sharp peak was hidden in the clouds, but that did not stop it from shining.

Filled with anticipation and disbelief, she gracefully approached on her plump ox.

Below, a patch of seven-colored glass shone brightly beneath the white clouds.

"This...could it be a diamond?"

Tian Sangui suppressed his excitement and wanted to get closer to see clearly, but a loud rooster crowed from the green mountain peaks, and the sun quickly set in the east.

The full moon, like a pearl shining in the East China Sea, hangs in the sky, turning day into night, white clouds into dark clouds, and even the fat ox beneath it deflates like a balloon.

Without his mount, Tian Sangui's body plummeted rapidly, burying him at the bottom of the valley...

The uncontrollable feeling of weightlessness made Tian Sangui suddenly open his eyes and sit up on the bed.

After a moment of stunned silence, shielding her eyes from the morning light with her hands, she felt a real and familiar warmth before realizing that she was dreaming.

With a word of advice from Zhang, "San Gui, the food is still in the pot. Eat when you wake up. Your father and I are going to work in the fields!"

Tian Sangui finally calmed his excited mind and hurriedly shouted back, "Yes!"

The villagers obtained Tian Sangui's seeds and busied themselves with the crops in their own fields. They kept the vegetables for their own consumption and bought the rest from Tian Sangui.

Of course, there's also the 30% profit share. With so many dishes needing to be converted, it seems like it's time to open a branch.

During this period, we also need to buy a few more mountains, and we must keep up with the development of young chickens so that we don't fall behind.

Autumn is the season when the main force delivers grain to the state. When harvesting grain, the officers and soldiers, just like in summer, move into the village head's house early.

Early the next morning, villagers lined up in long queues to voluntarily hand over their produce.

Wang Erwa's parents kept a little for their own consumption and handed over the rest.

The officers and soldiers showed no anger or joy, and didn't even glance at them because they had paid more grain.

Wang Erwa's mother looked at the soldiers with tears in her eyes, wanting to ask about her son's situation, but was stopped by his father.

"Forget it, we won't get anything out of them anyway. We're handing over a lot of grain, so it'll all end up in our son's mouth!"

Wang Erwazi's mother covered her mouth and wept bitterly, unable to accept such a cruel reality.
