Chapter 230: There are a few days every month
Before they could say anything, a white thing jumped out of Shen Hanxing's sleeve pocket and pounced towards Wen Zhenyi.
Wen Zhenyi nimbly grabbed the back of its neck and saw Cream looking at her with an aggrieved expression: "Why did you follow me?"
Chen Hanxing looked at the cream in its hand: "I'm coming to the village today, and it seems to know that it won't go down on me. I have no choice but to bring it with me. You should go to the clinic, you don't look good at all."
When Wen Zhen saw his attitude, she was afraid that she would not be able to stop unless she went to the clinic, so she could only say tactfully: "It's not a serious illness, it just happens a few days every month."
Chen Hanxing was stunned at first, then he understood what she was talking about. His ears suddenly turned red and he felt a little embarrassed: "In that case, you should rest well at home. I will go back to the store in town." After saying that, he turned around in a panic and prepared to leave.
When Wen Zhen saw him like this, a smile appeared on her face: "Brother Shen, I'll see you off." Then she shouted towards the kitchen: "Grandma, I'll go see Brother Shen off."
Mrs. Wen poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Eat something before you leave!"
Shen Hanxing said as if escaping: “Grandma Wen, the store is busy and I won’t eat anymore.”
Wen Zhenyi caught up with Shen Hanxing: “I’m not here for a few days, so you should try to eat more.”
Shen Hanxing looked down at her and quickly looked away, nodding slightly: "Yeah."
“Brother Shen, does Grandpa Shen know the craftsman who designed the mansion?”
Shen Hanxing stopped and looked at her: "Are you going to build a house?"
"Well, I want to buy land and build a house in Xinglin Village."
"What position?"
"That area at the entrance of the village. I'll show it to you later."
"good."
When the two arrived at the entrance of the village, Wen Zhenyi expressed his thoughts and plans.
Chen Hanxing listened carefully: "Do you want to build a shop near the official road and a workshop near the river?"
"Yes, I do have this plan, but it's such a large piece of land that there's no way to fully plan it out right now, so I plan to find a craftsman to draw up a blueprint to see where to build first."
Shen Hanxing pondered for a moment: "How about I give it a try."
This surprised Wen Zhenyi: "You can do this?"
"I've learned a lot of miscellaneous things these past few days, but I don't know if I'll be able to use them. I can draw the blueprints, but I'm not sure if I can actually build one."
"Then try it. If it doesn't work, we'll find someone else."
"Are you sure this is the land?"
Wen Zhen nodded: "Yeah. This is the one I'm looking for right now. I plan to go find the village chief and buy it later."
"Not many people are buying here right now, so don't worry. Just take a good rest first, and it won't be too late to buy after you've rested."
"good."
"I'm going back. I see you didn't sleep well last night. Go back and have a good rest. Uncle Wen and the others are in the store and nothing will happen." After saying this, Shen Hanxing walked towards the road to the town.
Wen Zhenyi smiled and watched his back as he left. Sweat had soaked his clothes, and sweat marks could be seen on his back.
When she turned back, she saw a man hiding behind a big tree.
Walking towards the big tree, I saw Dong Fang hiding there: "Sister Dong."
Dong Fang didn't expect that she would see herself. She was startled and stuttered: "Zhen, Zhenyi."
"Sister Dong, what are you doing here?"
"No, nothing, I'm just passing by, I'm going back." After saying that, without waiting for Wen Zhenyi's reaction, he ran towards home.
Wen Zhenyi looked at her running back with a calm look in his eyes.
Not long after they came out, she knew someone was following her, but she didn't feel any malice, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
It seems that Dong Fang likes Chen Hanxing, but the flower has feelings but the water is heartless.
Old Lady Wen was sitting under the eaves mending clothes when she saw her return: "Yi Yi, has Han Xing returned?"
"Go back."
"This kid won't drink a sip of water before leaving."
Wen Zhenyi sat beside her, watching her mending old clothes in her hands: "Grandma, didn't the family buy new cloth? Why are you still mending these old clothes?"
Old Lady Wen patched up the torn part and said: "We are reluctant to give new clothes to work. If they are accidentally torn in the arms, we will feel sad. These clothes can be worn after mending. If they are torn while working, we won't feel sad."
"If it's broken, just replace it with a new one."
Old Lady Wen put down her needlework and turned to look at her: "It's not easy for you to make money, so you should save whatever you can. Besides, we adults are not growing like you children."
"Grandma, all the money you earn is meant to be spent. You won't become the richest man in the world if you save it."
Old Lady Wen was so amused when she heard her say this: "Girl, how can you come up with so many twisted ideas? You haven't seen families in our village suffering more than us. If you had, you probably wouldn't say that."
Wen Zhenyi said nothing more. In her previous life, she had also seen people who were poorly clothed and hungry.
After seeing it so many times, people become numb: "Grandma, how about this."
"What's going on in your little head?"
"What can I think of? I think what you said makes sense, so I came up with an idea."
"What method?"
"Let's collect these clothes that aren't too worn out, or old clothes. We'll wash them and collect them. I'll ask the mayor which areas are poorer, and we'll give these clothes to them. What do you think?"
How could Mrs. Wen not know what she meant? She just wanted them to wear new clothes. Knowing that they were reluctant to part with their old clothes, she arranged a place for them to go.
However, I have to say that Wen Zhenyi's approach is quite good. Except for underwear, their outerwear can still be given away.
In addition, their clothes were not seriously damaged. Now that they had ox carts, they no longer had to carry heavy work on shoulder poles, so their clothes were much less worn than before.
"I think this is a good idea, but I don't know if people will appreciate our old clothes."
"Don't worry, I'll go ask the mayor and we'll know." Wen Zhenyi actually had another purpose for doing this. If the villagers lived a good life in the future, buying cloth to make new clothes would become the norm.
The old clothes had nowhere to go, so she simply arranged a place for them in advance, which solved the clothing problems of many people.
Old Lady Wen smiled and nodded: "Okay, you can ask when the time comes. I still need to mend these clothes. Go back to your room and get some sleep. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."
Wen Zhenyi really didn't sleep well last night, so he didn't make things difficult for himself and went back to his room to have a comfortable sleep.
She stayed at home for five days and it was finally over.
On the sixth day, she went to find Dong Li: "Grandpa, the village chief."
Dong Li saw the smile on her face become even brighter: "Girl Wen is here, come in and sit down."
"Is there something good? You look so happy smiling."
"Today we went to Cheng's shop to deliver something and met Young Master Cheng. He said he would give us ten cents for each egg." The wrinkles on Dong Li's face bloomed like flowers with his smile.
Wen Zhenyi understood that this was opening up a market in the county: "This is a good thing."
