In Yuncheng, during the few days Huo Haocheng was away, Ruan Ruan and Wang Qun took the two children early in the morning to pick all the vegetables from the field and make them into dried vegetables.
Logically speaking, after a month away, the vegetables in the field should have dried up long ago, and when they returned, they would definitely be withered vines. Fortunately, there was Chaoxi and Teacher Shen. Chaoxi didn't have land at home, so every day after work, she would take a bucket to help water the vegetables after dinner. Of course, she would pick the ripe vegetables, keep some for herself, and make the rest into dried vegetables or give some to Huo Haoshen and the others. Every time she took some to them on her way to work in the morning, she would say that it was from Sister Ruan Ruan.
They all knew that Ruan Ruan and the others had gone back to their hometown, so they couldn't give them anything else. It was just that Chao Xi was helping to take care of Ruan Ruan's vegetable garden, so every time Chao Xi brought something, it was like a gift from brothers and sisters, and they remembered the kindness.
So now, Ruan Ruan and the others have harvested all the out-of-season vegetables from the fields to free up the land so they can plant other vegetables to eat during the Lunar New Year.
Another thing is that the furniture factory workers have been arriving one after another these days. The positions are tentatively assigned based on their work performance. Huo Haoshi discussed it with her. Since all the newcomers to the factory are new, their abilities are not very clear. So they thought they would tentatively assign them positions and let them try them out. Once they are sure they can handle the job, they will be formally appointed.
Ruan Ruan naturally agreed with Huo Haoshi's question, and said that since the factory was now in his hands, he could do it with confidence and she would support him in anything he did.
With Ruan Ruan's words and the help of Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen, he quickly arranged the positions from the people who arrived and began to work.
Those who were assigned housing were very happy, especially since they were given housing as soon as they arrived. It was nothing like back in their hometown, where not only did they have to pay for their jobs, but they were also temporary workers at the beginning, let alone be given housing. Many permanent employees still haven't been allocated housing.
With such good conditions, they worked even harder.
The furniture factory's operations started smoothly. On July 15th, Ruan Ruan made a brief appearance at the opening ceremony, leaving the rest of the time to Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haocheng.
As the weather got hotter, Ruan Ruan became even less inclined to go out. Apart from the children sleeping and her translating some books, she spent the rest of her time chatting and rambling in front of the children every day, teaching them to call people "Dad," "Mom," and "Grandma."
In addition, Xiaomingxuan and Xiaoxing hadn't seen their younger siblings for a month. Since they came back, the children have been on holiday at home and have been bringing their homework to do at home every day. Therefore, Ruan Ruan has another task: supervising the children's studies.
"Brother and sister, call me brother. I'm the older brother. This is the older sister. This is the uncle." After finishing his homework for the day, Xiao Mingxuan held Da Bao and Xiao Bao's hands and kept introducing them to them.
Perhaps seeing that his aunt was repeating the same thing over and over, he didn't get impatient. Every day after finishing his homework, he would start asking them to call him "brother."
"Ah ah"
"Ahhh, ahhhh"
Before this time, Da Bao and Xiao Bao both thought that Xiao Mingxuan was playing with them. So every time he came over to talk, Da Bao and Xiao Bao would wave their little arms and make "ah ah ah ah" sounds while sitting in their strollers, having a lot of fun playing with Xiao Mingxuan.
"Auntie, when will my little brother and sister grow up and go out to play with us?" Xiao Mingxuan's friends in the family compound always told him that he had a pair of very cute little brothers and sisters. However, every time they asked him to bring them to see them, he couldn't. After a while, they all said that he was lying.
Xiao Mingxuan wasn't lying; his younger siblings are really cute, but they're too young to walk. His aunt also doesn't agree to let him take them out to play, always saying that he's too young to take care of his younger siblings.
"Well, your younger siblings will need at least another year before they can walk. They can only go out and play with you when they're as tall as Xiaomingxuan."
"Oh! That's still a long time. When my younger siblings grow up to be as big as me, won't they have to go to school too? Then I'll take them to school."
The thought that his younger siblings would have to grow up to be his age before they could go out and play together made Xiao Mingxuan feel very sad. It had taken him many years to grow up, which meant that he would have to wait many more years.
Sigh, Xiao Mingxuan's excitement vanished in an instant.
Ruan Ruan and Wang Qun, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh at the rich expressions on his face despite his small stature.
"Why are you sighing at such a young age?" Gu Jingming patted Xiao Mingxuan's head.
Gu Jingming graduated from high school this year. Just then, Ruan Ruan Furniture Factory was hiring, so they arranged a relaxed job for him. Knowing that the numbers were good, Ruan Ruan and Huo Haoshi talked to him and arranged for him to be in charge of furniture order statistics and furniture size statistics.
"Xiaoming, how's work going?" Ruan Ruan didn't expect that time would pass so quickly. In the blink of an eye, the boy who was happy for half a day just because she gave him a set of stationery is now already working.
"Sister, I really like this job. Haoshi is here to guide me, and I'm the youngest person in the factory, so everyone takes good care of me." Gu Jingming's job is currently quite easy.
Following the method of creating tables taught to him by Ruan Ruan, he compiled a table listing all the furniture currently in the factory, including their various models and corresponding dimensions. He then printed it out, giving one copy to each of the production and sales departments, and keeping one for himself and Huo Haoshi.
