Zhang Qiang: "Thank you for your appreciation, Lord. I will definitely do a good job as the village chief."
Feng Lao Si patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, if you have any problems in the future, come to Fengjia Village to find me."
The old couple of the Zhang family wanted to invite everyone to dinner, but everyone declined. They drove back to Fengjia Village.
Zhang Xiaoman stayed at her parents' home. The old couple of the Zhang family treated Zhang Xiaoman very well, and her brothers were also very nice to her.
The eldest sister-in-law pulled Zhang Xiaoman and said, "Manman, today is all thanks to you, otherwise your brother wouldn't have been able to take the position of village chief."
Zhang Xiaoman: "Brother and sister-in-law, you must do your best. The Feng family is very protective of their shortcomings. If we follow Fengjia Village, our family will definitely become rich. Don't do anything stupid."
Zhang Xiaoman also took the opportunity to warn her family. She had been married to Fengjia Village for three years and knew a lot about the village.
Zhang Xiaoman: "Brothers, when the factory is built, you can go and work there. The treatment there is very good, the wages are high, and it is much easier than farming at home.
We have several dozen taels of silver every month. Although your wages won't be that high, as long as you work hard and are loyal to the factory, you might even be able to become a manager."
When the villagers saw that everyone from Fengjia Village had left, they flocked to Zhang's house. A few curious women asked, "Xiaoman, how much silver is the monthly wage at the instant noodle factory in your village?"
Zhang Xiaoman: "Aunt Li, we are all from the same clan in our village, and the wages are high. When the factory in the county town is built, we will also recruit workers, and the wages will be higher for more work."
Aunt Li asked again, "How many can there be? If there are many, I will let my son and grandson go too."
Zhang Xiaoman: "I heard from my father-in-law last time that he could make at least one tael of silver a month."
Everyone in Taohua Village widened their eyes. They found a job in the county town and only earned a few hundred coins a month. Could the factory make that much?
Zhang Xiaoman said proudly, "Of course not. My husband said that if you work as a manager in the factory, you can get 15 taels of silver a month, not to mention the bonuses during the New Year and other festivals."
The whole Taohua Village was in an uproar, but Fengjiu didn't know that she had asked her aunt to promote it in the village, and her aunt was so supportive.
Taohua Village originally had many families with various surnames, and there were only a dozen Zhang families. Now, eleven of them are gone, and there are only four families with the surname Zhang.
When Fengjiu and the others returned to the village, the villagers were waiting at the ancestral hall. Everyone felt relieved when they saw the car enter the village.
Dabao and Xiaobao were frightened and fell asleep on their grandfather and uncle. Feng Mingli carried his younger brother into the house, and Feng Jiu reattached his broken leg.
He was given another bone-replenishing pill, and he was back to full strength in two days. The whole family was grateful to Fengjiu.
Feng Jiu was angry: "Humph, you all treat me as an outsider, and you still thank me as a family."
Everyone was amused by her little appearance. The fifth uncle said, "Okay, okay, please don't thank me. Don't be angry, Nannan."
At this time, the fifth uncle's family felt extremely warm in their hearts, as they had the support of the entire family behind them.
The wives of Fengjia Village also became more confident, and their treatment in their parents' homes was much better than before. It didn't take long for the news of what happened in Taohua Village to spread, and no one dared to target Fengjia Village anymore.
During this period, the brothers of the Feng family have been practicing martial arts very hard, and Nangong Beichen is also learning to draw talismans. He only needs to draw a talisman two or three times to learn it.
Sometimes Fengjiu was a little jealous of his talent. The invisibility talisman Fengjiu used today was drawn by Nangong Beichen. It must be said that with the blessing of the talisman paper, it would be much easier to do bad things in the future.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the county's industrial park began construction again and is expected to be completed in three months.
The Fengjiu family is also preparing to go to the capital. This time they are going to take all the children with them to study at Lushan Academy in the capital.
Feng Laosi and Feng Zhong's master would also return to Lushan Academy to take over as the principal, and this was something the emperor agreed to after inviting Ouyang Xiu several times.
This time some people from the village will also go along. They have scheduled their departure for the 12th day of the first lunar month, at noon, to give those going to the capital some time to prepare.
The eldest and second sons of the Feng family also went with them, while the third son stayed in the village to look after the project in the industrial park.
My third aunt went to Beijing with him as the beauty salon still needed her for training.
In fact, Old Man Feng and Old Lady Feng still prefer to live in Fengjia Village. After all, they have lived here for most of their lives.
But they couldn't bear to leave their grandchildren, so they had to go with them.
The whole family was eating snacks and watching "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in the living room, having a very pleasant time.
Dabao and Xiaobao were also there. Ever since the last incident, the two little guys have liked Fengjiu even more.
As soon as they got up, they came to find Feng Jiu. Their mother was afraid that they would disturb the Feng family, so she closed the door.
The two couldn't reach the door bolt, so they climbed out of the dog hole directly. The two little kids stayed with Fengjiu all day.
Feng Jiu also likes the two little dumplings very much. They are obedient and funny, and the Feng family treats them very well.
Just at noon, two carriages arrived in front of the Feng family’s gate.
The person who got off the carriage in front was Huo Xiao, who had not been seen for a long time. Huo Xiao came here this time on behalf of Zhang Fugui, the richest man in Nanli, to ask for a beauty pill.
The Feng family's door is usually open during the day, so Huo Xiao went straight into the living room.
When Feng Jiu saw that it was Huo Xiao, she ran over and hugged Huo Xiao's thighs.
"Why are you here, Uncle Huo? Nannan misses you."
Huo Xiao picked up Feng Jiu, scratched her nose, and said lovingly, "Uncle misses Nannan too. Uncle also brought a gift for Nannan."
Xiao Si behind him brought four wooden boxes and opened the largest one. Inside were various small boxes, and the boxes were filled with gold and silver jewelry that the little girl liked.
There were also two sets of diamonds. Feng Jiu said happily, "Thank you, uncle. My daughter likes them very much."
The remaining boxes contained gifts for the Feng family, even Feng Lao Si.
Feng Lao Si raised his eyebrows when he took the sword given to him by Huo Xiao. Now that he no longer had his eyes on his wife, he liked him a lot more.
Huo Xiao: "I'm here to wish everyone a happy new year. I also have something a friend asked me to do. I came to ask if you still have any beauty pills. Price is not a problem."
Feng Jiu asked, "Who is it, uncle, that wants the beauty pill?"
"It's the Zhang family, the richest family in Nanli. I did business with the Zhang family head a few years ago. Mingyue Tower auctioned the beauty pill before, so he came to me."
Feng Jiu thought for a moment and asked, "How much silver did he give?"
"Master Zhang said he would give 500,000 taels of silver for each pill, and he could also give me some real estate in the capital. He also has a 1,200-acre hot spring estate outside the capital."
Fengjiu thought about it and decided to go with the hot spring villa, which might not be available in the capital even if you have money.
"Then we need the property and the farm, what do you think, uncle?"
