Lin Xiangyi also smiled: "We are very happy and grateful that you have this intention. Well, anyway, we will not treat you unfairly. Our sales volume will increase this month, and we will give everyone bonuses then."
"Really?" Everyone burst into laughter. "Okay, okay, then we have to work hard!"
"Really," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "But you won't have to work too hard for too long. Qingxiao and I plan to build a stewed food workshop next, and we will recruit more people then, so you won't have to work so hard."
What? You want to set up a braised food workshop?
Everyone was stunned.
They are small businesses of ordinary people, and they can set up workshops? Does this mean they want to become stronger and bigger?
"We want to build a stewed food workshop?" Xie's mother asked hurriedly, "How to do it?"
My house is so small, can I set up a workshop?
"We still need to discuss how to do this," Lin Xiangyi said, "but Qingxiao and I want to build a house behind the house and use it as a workshop."
"Do we still need to build a house?" Xie's father also asked hurriedly. How much does it cost to build a house?
"Yes," Lin Xiangyi nodded.
Xie's father and mother: "..." They thought they were doing business just to make ends meet, but they didn't expect that their ambitions were so big!
"Great!" Aunt Xie slapped her thigh excitedly: "Xiangyi, it's a good thing that you and Xiao are ambitious. You are both capable children. As long as you have confidence, Auntie believes in you and supports you!"
As she spoke, she became extremely happy: "Who knows, our Xie family may rely on you to bring honor to our family in the future!"
Thank you, Father and Mother: “…” Sister-in-law, aren’t you thinking too simply?
Compared with Aunt Xie's optimism, Xie's father and mother were not very supportive of Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi's plan to set up a braised food workshop.
In their opinion, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi are making a lot of money from their business now, which is enough for them to live a stable and prosperous life, so there is no need to make so much trouble.
Although making your business stronger and bigger can make you more money, it also means taking on greater risks.
They wanted to persuade Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi, but because there were too many people present, they didn't say anything in the end.
Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei went to deliver the goods to Grandma Liu and others, and told them to find Zhang Pengfei if they had any problems. He then returned.
After returning, he first went to the back of the house with Lin Xiangyi to confirm the situation of the land, and then went back to the house to catch up on some sleep. At 5:30 in the evening, he got up to cook and waited for Xie's father and mother to come back before starting to eat.
After dinner, Xie Qingxiao said to his mother, "Mom, my wife and I are going to the village chief's house to discuss what we want to do with the land in the backyard. Are you free? Can you go with us?"
Letting Xie's mother go along doesn't mean that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi are incapable of taking responsibility, but that Xie's mother is needed to keep things under control.
It was because he and Lin Xiangyi were not very familiar with the villagers, and they were afraid that if they met later they would not know who the other person was.
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi rarely asked Xie's mother, and Xie's mother agreed without saying a word.
But before going, she hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Ah Xiao, Xiang Yi, have you really decided to build a stewed food workshop?"
"Yes," Xie Qingxiao said.
Mother Xie looked at Lin Xiangyi again, and Lin Xiangyi nodded: "Mom, this is what Qingxiao and I discussed. We have already thought about it."
Mother Xie sighed and said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I don't think your father and I can persuade you. If you want to build it, just build it."
Xie Qingxiao: "Don't worry, mother, my wife and I know what's going on, you don't have to think too much."
"That's right," Lin Xiangyi agreed.
"That's fine," Xie's mother said with a smile, "Let's go."
She went to the village chief's house with Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi.
It was very dark at this time, and most of the people working in the fields had finished their work and went home.
The dirt road in the village is very narrow, with weeds on both sides, and you can easily fall down if you are not careful.
Xie Qingxiao held a flashlight in one hand and held Lin Xiangyi with the other, shining all the light in front of Lin Xiangyi. He also reminded her from time to time to be careful and not to step on empty air.
Xie's mother also followed them with a flashlight, with her other hand resting on Lin Xiangyi's waist so that she could support her at any time if anything happened.
Lin Xiangyi: “…” Although she is pregnant, she is really not that fragile.
"Eh? Second Sister Xie? So it's you. We saw someone holding a flashlight walking towards us from a distance, and we were wondering who was coming."
Just as Xie Qingxiao, Lin Xiangyi and Xie's mother approached the village chief's house, a voice came over.
They looked over and found that the village chief and his family were sitting at the door. The person who had just spoken was the village chief's wife, who was about the same age as Xie's mother.
"Yes, it's getting dark so fast now. I can't see people clearly if my eyesight is poor. I didn't even notice you guys were here just now." Xie's mother laughed and asked, "Why are you all sitting at the door?"
“Aren’t we here to enjoy the cool air?” The village chief’s wife said with a smile. She looked at Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi behind Xie’s mother and said with a smile, “Ah Xiao and his wife are here too?”
"Ah Xiao, Xiangyi, this is your Aunt He, and your Uncle He... Really, their eyesight has become very bad after getting dark, and they didn't even call out to them when they saw them," Xie's mother said angrily, actually trying to cover up the embarrassment of the two people not recognizing each other.
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi called people one by one under Xie's mother's "introduction".
"Don't blame them. I didn't recognize them just now." The village chief's wife waved her hand: "By the way, what are you doing here?"
"Aunt He, we are here to thank Grandpa He," Lin Xiangyi immediately brought up what she had said to Xie Qingxiao in the afternoon.
The Grandpa He she mentioned is the father of the current village chief, the previous head of Longjing Village, who has devoted himself to the villagers of Longjing Village since the founding of China and died for them. He is deeply loved by the villagers:
"When Qingxiao and I got married, didn't we have a quarrel with the Lu family? Thanks to the old village chief who came to give us justice that day, we didn't suffer any injustice! So I came here specially to thank him. By the way, where is Grandpa He?"
The old village chief is not here.
"The old man is sleeping in the house, probably asleep," said the village chief.
"He's asleep, so we shouldn't disturb him. This is a small gift from Qingxiao and I. Uncle He and Aunt He, please help hold it—"
After Lin Xiangyi finished speaking, Xie Qingxiao handed the things in his hand to the village chief's wife - two bottles of wine, two kilograms of sugar and about two kilograms of pork belly.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation, not a token of my respect."
The village chief's wife and the village chief were both shocked. "Ah Xiao, why did you bring such a valuable thing? Take it back quickly."
"Hey, children, this is a gift to the old village chief. It's not for you. Why are you refusing it?" Mother Xie immediately smiled and held the hand of the village chief's wife, not allowing her to return the things.
The village chief and his wife were in a difficult situation. His father-in-law had a high reputation in the village. After he retired, villagers often came to him with good things under various excuses to honor him. His father-in-law accepted some of the gifts, but not others.
So now she will accept it or not?
Mother Xie didn't wait for her to speak, and said, "By the way, in addition to this matter, we have another matter we want to discuss with the village chief."
Village chief: "What's the matter?"
Mother Xie: "Ah Xiao is suitable, you guys tell me."
