Indeed, the eldest son is already 26 years old, and has been in tune with Madam Song for a long time. As a mother, she knows very well that the reason why the eldest son has been reluctant to speak is mainly because the house is too small and inconvenient. Because his family consists of four people, he must find a way to move out and live alone, and who knows, they may have to have more children in the future.
As for the eldest brother, he would definitely be too embarrassed to ask his family for money, so he would choose to save it slowly on his own. Then how long would he have to wait until he saved enough money?
After all, Madam Song is a widow, raising a daughter alone. She can't wait too long. A woman's blooming period is short, just a few years. She is willing to wait, and Mother Xiao feels sorry for her.
As for the third brother, he is married for the second time. The girl from the Liang family is a virgin from a decent and honest family. It would be a bit unfair for her to be with him. Thank goodness that she doesn't despise him. The Xiao family should also show some sincerity. It wouldn't be nice to ask her to marry in and have her live in a crowded small courtyard, right?
So Xiao's mother counted the family's savings. Although she knew that renting a big house would be expensive, she had to grit her teeth and do it for the sake of her children's comfort.
But unexpectedly, the younger son and daughter-in-law were too capable and took care of everything, solving the problem once and for all.
No wonder, when she was young, before she married Xiao's father, the fortune teller said that her life might not be easy for the first twenty years after marriage, but she would enjoy happiness in the second half of her life. Now she finally believed it.
Of course, this is the fortune calculated for this life. I don’t know if this happened in the previous life. After all, Xiao’s mother in the previous life had no second half of life to speak of.
"You're right. I've got it all in mind. But I'll have to trouble you to buy someone. You're familiar with the dental office, so why don't you help me pick someone?"
For example, when selecting people, they will have to stay in the kitchen in the future, many recipes cannot be leaked out, and the indenture must be held in one's own hands, so anyone who wants to buy in the store must have a death indenture.
At least buy four first. Two should be bought to clean the house, and one should be responsible for taking care of the yard and tending to the flowers and plants. You can buy a living contract for them first, and then consider changing it to a fixed contract if they perform well in the future. Anyway, when they come to work for the Xiao family, they will not treat them unfairly.
Xiao Lanlan and the others have already chosen the rooms they want to live in, and they can move in slowly from now on. As for the date, Xiao's father will look through the almanac, and Jiang Sui will then order the invitations and send one to all the neighbors. As for how many classmates Xiao Hechuan wants to invite, they have to wait for him to give a number. Then, the Su family, the Liang family, and Mr. Zeng must be invited, and Doctor Qin from Jishan Hall must also be invited. After all, he has been the one who has been in charge of Zhou's pregnancy.
Speaking of Zhou, she is almost seven months pregnant now. Her belly is really big and the fetal movements are very frequent. She has to choose her midwife. She must choose two midwives who have sufficient experience in delivering twins and have a steady personality. Price is not a problem, as long as the adult and the child are safe.
This pregnant woman giving birth to twins needs special attention even in modern times with advanced medical care, and it was taken even more seriously in ancient times. Doctor Qin came several times, and last time he brought a woman with him who was specifically responsible for feeling the fetal position. She had to make sure that there was no problem with the fetal position of the two babies in Zhou's belly. If there was an abnormal fetal position, she could use techniques to correct it in time, otherwise the mother's life would be in danger on the day of delivery.
However, no one let Zhou know about these worries for fear of adding unnecessary burden to her. She has a fragile heart and cannot handle things easily. We were afraid that she would worry every day knowing that giving birth to twins is not easy. She didn't know that in order to be a happy and at ease expectant mother, it is really important to keep a good mood during pregnancy.
Jiang Sui also prepared to buy some special servants for her. It didn't matter if they were older, as long as they had experience in childbirth and raising children, they could help her take care of the children in the future. Otherwise, it would be too hard for one person to take care of two babies.
Jiang Sui deserves to be called a good sister-in-law of Daqing, as she considers every aspect for Zhou.
The Xiao family had their first meal in the new mansion. Everyone was very happy and had a great time chatting.
After that, it took a few days to move all the things that needed to be moved to the new house. After all, it was up to you to decorate your own room however you liked it. There were many things that needed to be purchased after moving to the new house, and the guest room also had to be cleaned up. In short, after all this was done, Xiao Hechuan's two thousand taels of silver were just spent, and Jiang Sui even added a little bit of his own money.
The next step was to choose an auspicious day for the housewarming, which was chosen to be the eighth day of August. After deciding on the people to be invited, Jiang Sui began to customize the invitations, and Xiao Hechuan wrote them himself. Xiao Yi personally went to the homes of important families such as the Su family, the Liang family, and Mr. Zeng to deliver the invitations to show his sincerity.
Xiao's mother gave Jiang Sui another three hundred taels of silver and asked her to buy someone, and then bring him to the store for training. This kind of person only needs to do rough work, and most importantly, be able to endure hardships.
He bought four first, two for each of the two shops. He bought a maid who was around 30 or 40 years old. She was not expensive and was very careful in her work. In the end, he spent 160 taels of silver to buy four dead deeds, and then spent another 80 taels to buy four living deeds, which he placed in the mansion. Two of them were used to clean the house, one was used to take care of the gardening, and the other was used to take care of Zhou. It was not convenient for her because her family members were usually busy with the shop affairs and she had to have someone to look after her all the time.
Judging from the current business of the two stores, two people in the kitchen will be too busy to handle everything during meal times and peak hours. Anyway, there are our own family members guarding the store every day, so we can just go and help out wherever we are unable to cope. This is the arrangement for now.
In the end, there were sixty taels left, and Jiang Sui returned all of it to Xiao's mother without any greed.
In less than a year, Jiang Sui has developed to what she is now. She can be called a strong woman and is becoming more and more successful.
We have a big house and a shop, and the chicken farm is also under development. We bought an acre of land and invested in a hundred chicks. We hired two aunts to take care of the farm and can only wait and see the results next year.
It is expected that by the end of this year or the beginning of next year, if the performance is good, we will make a large investment in the wealthy area and open three stores.
After this busy period, when autumn comes and the weather gets cooler, we can launch the new product, clay pot noodles, which is similar to hot pot maocai. It will be popular again then.
Jiang Sui ordered a truckload of fresh fruits and vegetables from the farm, then counted the twelve households in the alley and gave each family a basket of fresh fruits, two packages of cakes, and an invitation.
The people living in their alley are all petty bourgeoisie, so there is no need to prepare too expensive gifts, nor is there any need to talk too much about favors.
