Chunxiao nodded, "She is Xiaohua." She waved to Xiaohua, "Come here, I will introduce you to my family members." Chunxiao took her to introduce her family members one by one.
"Why do I think this girl looks familiar?" Dahe looked at her, "Lan'er, take a look, doesn't she look familiar?"
"She is Xingfu's sister, so naturally they look alike." Zhou patted Yan Dahai and told him not to stare at her.
Yan Dahe touched his head and said, "I thought so. It looks like happiness."
"Little sister, how long will you stay this time?"
"Second sister-in-law, everything over there has been arranged. I'm afraid I'll have to stay for a while."
"That's good." Zhang smiled. "It's been a while since we last met. I was worried you'd leave after just a few days."
"Is the family business going well?"
"It's going well, don't worry. Boss Huang keeps asking me if you've replied. I think he cares about you."
Da He raised an eyebrow at her, and was slapped on the head by Zhou, "You are asking for a beating, and you make any joke. You treat your sister as you are."
It has been 10 months since the last commission was paid. I'm afraid she's still waiting for the money.
"Now I am in charge of distributing the monthly share of the silver. I have put the money in your box. Have you seen it?" Zhou looked at Chunxiao.
"I saw my mother. She scared me yesterday. I was wondering how she could have so much money."
A few people were chatting and laughing in the yard, asking about Peng Dong. Then the villagers came, and then the head of the village came.
"I heard you guys were back early this morning. I went to the mountains and found nothing. So you guys are all here."
Dashan Dahe quickly brought them stools. "Uncle Village Chief, you came at the perfect time. We just sat down not long ago."
Yan Bingfa returned to the yard after a while, and probably saw the headman and others in the field. "I was the last one to arrive." He washed his hands by the well and sat next to Zhou.
"The head of the village has been worried about Pengdong's situation. The letter you brought back during the New Year only said that the land had been bought and everyone was fine. You didn't give any specific details. They are all worried."
"We bought a 300-mu plot of land in the next town. Brother Mingli owns 200 mu of land in the village. We also hired 12 people. They were already raising seedlings when we arrived. I asked the manager of my farm to help look after them. Uncles, you can rest assured."
"That's good, that's good." The villagers nodded with relief.
"Are they adjusting well over there? I'm afraid they won't be back until October."
"It will definitely be after October, Uncle Village Chief. They definitely don't have enough manpower. Uncle Mingli wants to see if there are any villagers willing to go. The wages will be calculated separately then."
"I'll ask the villagers then. Are there any places to live over there?"
"The manor has 12 laborer's quarters, and we've only used four. There are plenty more. Also, this manor is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there's a wall in front, so it's very safe. I think the location is good."
When the villagers heard her talk about these things, they all felt longing and wanted to go and take a look.
Chunxiao then gave them a rough outline of the costs of setting up the manor, giving them a rough idea. "If the villagers are going there, they'll have to hurry. They only have three people to a room, so it's already busy. If there are more people, we'll have to go to the county town and rent a car."
"Okay, okay, I'll go ask around and see if anyone wants to go work there. I'll see how many people there are and then make some arrangements."
The villagers came and left quickly. Only the Fang couple, Yan Musheng and his wife, Yan Laowu, and Xu Shizhu, who were very familiar with their family, stayed.
"I don't know when this war will be over. Alas, I don't even know whether they are dead or alive." Two people have passed away in Fang's family. Although she doesn't feel as sad as before when she thinks about it, she still looks helpless.
"If this person doesn't come back, the days will just keep passing by."
"Uncle, aunt, we came back with good news. The battle was a great victory, and King Chen is dead."
"King Chen?" The villagers didn't know the cause of the war, so they didn't look happy when they heard it.
"This war was caused by the rebellion of Prince Chen."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Yan Dashan in surprise, "You mean the war is over and they are coming back."
Fang stood up excitedly, "When will they come back?"
"But King Chen is dead, and the war will take some time. Before, it was one people fighting another, but now we are fighting foreign enemies. If we eliminate one, it won't be long before the other one comes."
After hearing this, although everyone was disappointed, they regained some confidence. "It's good news after all. It's one step closer to their return."
Everyone started asking about their life there last year, and Chunxiao told them in detail what he had seen, heard, and felt. By the time everyone finished talking and left, it was already lunch time.
Taking advantage of the free afternoon, she decided to go to the restaurant to settle the money. Now that she had a carriage, it was convenient to go anywhere.
After lunch, Xiaohua went to the Juxian Restaurant in the town under her guidance. Huang Minghe was very surprised to see her.
"Hey, Mr. Yan, you're finally back." He smiled and asked someone to show her the tea. "When did you come back?"
"I just got back yesterday. What's going on? Boss Huang is making too much money and can't spend it all, so he's waiting for me to come to you to sort it out."
"Of course the money has to be divided." Huang Minghe looked at her, "I've been waiting for Master Yan to come over. I have something I want to discuss with you. Let's go to the second-floor wing and talk."
Chunxiao asked Xiaohua to wait for her in the yard, and she followed Huang Minghe to the private room on the second floor.
When they arrived at the wing, Huang Minghe asked her to sit in the main seat. "Miss Yan, let me be frank. We originally signed a five-year lease, and I shouldn't bring this up again. But I want to develop in the south, so I want to ask Miss Yan if you can sell me your braised pork recipe. We've been working together for so long, I think this matter is still negotiable."
