"Brother, you are driving too slowly." Shufeng laughed at him from behind.
"If you are so capable, come and catch up. Let's see if you can catch up."
"It's not your brother's fault. We have over 800 kilograms of stuff on the cart. It's hard for the ox to carry it, so naturally it refuses to move. 800 kilograms is pretty much the limit."
"Aunt, my parents said that your farm is already big. Will you need to hire more people to work there?"
"Of course I have to invite you. There is still time. Why don't you work in my village?" Chunxiao scratched her nose.
Shufeng smiled and dodged, "I do think it would be nice to be your housekeeper, but unfortunately mother will definitely not let me."
"Don't your father and his family own a large piece of land? I think you can give it a try. Naturally, family property is something that one's family members are most confident in."
Shufeng's eyes lit up, "Aunt, do you really think so?"
Chunxiao quickly straightened herself up and said, "I didn't say anything. Just pretend I didn't say anything. This way, your parents won't say I gave you bad advice. They won't agree with you, a girl."
"Aren't you also a girl, Auntie?"
"Can you compare with my aunt? Our grandfather said that no one in our family can compare with my aunt. You'd better give up on this idea." Shuwen mocked mercilessly in front.
It looked like the brother and sister had already discussed this privately. It wasn't wrong for a girl to want to achieve something. Even though she was young, she could be very useful if she gained some experience. She looked at the somewhat disappointed Shufeng and pinched her face. "You definitely won't be able to manage the farm from so far away, but if you follow your brother, it's a sure thing."
Yes, why didn't she think of it, "Brother, why don't we ask our parents to help take care of those fields."
"I can't make the decision on this matter. It all depends on what their rules are. Don't let your imagination run wild. Why do you have to rush out to work when you can just stay home and have fun?"
"I'd love to."
Chunxiao looked at the quarreling brother and sister, then looked at the good weather. It was really a rare good day.
When she arrived in town, she first went to a grocery store to exchange 240 kilograms of cotton, then took the cotton to a mattress maker. She weighed out 156 kilograms of cotton and gave it to the owner, saying she wanted 24 quilts of 4-kilogram cotton and 12 quilts of 5-kilogram cotton. She compared the size of the quilts with the owner and asked when they would be ready.
The boss already had some finished products in the shop, and told her to pick them up on the 20th, and gave her a receipt to pick up the items.
After finishing the quilt, they set off for Lu Village. Shuwen was going there for the first time and didn't know the way, so Chunxiao showed him the way. Although it took a little longer, the three of them finally arrived safely.
"Wow, aunt, this is your farm. It's so big." She already knew it was big, but she was still surprised when she saw it in person.
"It's the same outside." Chunxiao pointed to the land outside, "Aunt is a real landlord this time." She went forward and knocked on the door.
Soon the door opened. It was the servant from the manor. Upon seeing them, the servant hurriedly opened the door wide and said, "Master, please come in."
This person looked clean today, probably after washing up well. She asked Shuwen to drive the car in.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, everyone saw her and stood over.
Chunxiao looked at them. They were really quick. Everything had been washed. She jumped out of the car and asked, "Have you moved everything here?"
"It was moved. It was moved yesterday. We all washed it." A woman replied quickly.
"Where is Wang Shiwen?" Chunxiao looked for him in the crowd but couldn't find him.
"Manager Wang has gone to the vegetable garden with someone. Someone has just gone to call him. He will be here soon."
Someone brought out stools for them to sit on. Shufeng looked at these people curiously. Shuwen was already sitting on the ox cart. Soon, someone came running over from a distance, "Boss, you're here." It was Wang Shiwen, followed by two people.
When someone approached, she pointed to the oxcart and said, "First, have someone carry the food from the cart to the warehouse. There are 400 kilograms of soybeans and corn, 200 kilograms of fine flour, and no rice. You can make do with it for now. If you eat 14 kilograms a day, it should be enough for about 40 days."
Everyone quickly started moving things, and Shuwen stood by to tell them where the food was, fearing that they might move the wrong ones.
After the grain was moved, everyone stood together again and waited for instructions.
"I've placed an order with the store today for 36 quilts. 24 of them weigh 4 jin (approximately 100 catties) and 12 weigh 5 jin (approximately 100 catties). Each room will have a 5 jin (approximately 100 catties) mattress pad and two 4 jin (approximately 100 catties) coverlets. This is your receipt." She handed the note to Wang Shiwen. "Remember to pick it up from the mattress store in town after the 20th. Don't forget."
The quiet crowd began to stir, some people began to talk quietly, and it was obvious that they were all very happy. This is happiness! Chun Xiao looked at the women and said, "There are a few tasks that need you to do."
Several women stood up as instructed, "Master, please speak."
"I have cotton and cloth in this cart. Each person has three pounds of cotton, which you can use to make a set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers. There are 50 bolts of cloth here, 35 of which are coarse cotton and 15 of which are fine cotton. In addition to making sheets and quilt covers for each person's room, you need to make a set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers for each person, two sets of underwear, and two sets of spring clothes. I know it's a lot of work, so I have to work hard on you. Let's get the cotton-padded clothes first."
Everyone lost their composure when they heard this and knelt down to kowtow to her.
Shufeng, who was sitting in the car, retreated behind Chunxiao, and Shuwen was so scared that he got off the car quickly.
"Alright, everyone, get up. I've already told Steward Wang not to kneel down all the time."
