After Chen Kai finished his mother's hair, he also gave his sister-in-law and cousins a fairy-like hairstyle. Some had their hair all tied up, while others had some hair down. His nieces also got cute and playful hairstyles.
After it was all settled, the women were ecstatic, and even his mother was beaming with joy.
After Chen Kai finished styling their hair, Xiao Tian asked curiously, "When did you learn this new skill?"
Chen Kai said smugly, "I knew how to do it in my past life!"
Xiao Tian asked in confusion, "Why are you researching this?"
Chen Kai whispered, "In my past life, my sister didn't know how to braid her own hair, but she liked to keep it long, so she forced me to learn how to braid hair so I could braid her hair."
Xiao Tian didn't say anything more, he just rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Not long after, Da Ya and the others finished showing off and returned happily.
Sanya said happily, "Grandma, I want to dress up like this tomorrow and go to the flower festival, okay?"
Daya added, "Our family will definitely be the most beautifully dressed for tomorrow's flower festival. I think our business will be even better tomorrow, and we'll make a lot of money!"
Chen Kai said, "Since you want to go sightseeing, then have a good time!"
Sanya said hesitantly, "But I still want to help you make more money."
Chen Kai said with a smile, "You can never earn enough money. The flower festival only comes once a year. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until next year. You're all dressed up so beautifully, don't you want to take a good look around?"
"Besides, we're here for you. Tomorrow, all you women can go out and have a good time, and we men can take care of making money."
Xiao Tian also said, "You guys have a good time! Don't worry, we'll still give you the 30/70 split of the money we applied for. You can spend it, and we'll take care of making money."
Chen Kai also told his father about this, telling them that their daughter should rest and have a good time shopping the next day, and that the men would be responsible for making money. His father hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Old Chen felt that his wife had suffered a lot with him, as had his two daughters-in-law, who had also worked hard without complaint since coming to their home. Since there was something exciting to see tomorrow, he decided to let them all rest and have some fun.
After admiring herself in the bronze mirror, Chen's eldest daughter-in-law came over and said, "Young man, you're really skillful! This hairstyle looks great on me. I'll wear it like this tomorrow."
Everyone else liked their hairstyles and chimed in, saying they would go out like this tomorrow.
At this moment, Old Chen said, "Wife, you are not allowed to go out like this."
The other men in the family also stood up and hesitantly objected.
Chen Kai was completely bewildered. What was going on? He had finally managed to change the women's aesthetic standards in his family, so what was his brother trying to do?!
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "Silly child, what are you afraid of? So what if their hair isn't tied up at the back? Your wife will always be your wife, and no one can take her away."
Chen Lao Er said hesitantly, "I'm just worried that some lecherous guy might take a fancy to my wife, think she's unmarried, and come over to chat her up!"
Xiao Tian was speechless. Was it really necessary for his father to worry about his mother? He was even worried that his family wouldn't have enough money to pay the lecherous man's medical bills.
Zhou said, "We're here to keep an eye on things, so what's there to be afraid of? We women should dress up and look our best when we go out! Brother, why don't you let your daughters-in-law go out together like this too? If everyone's together, what's there to be afraid of?"
In the end, Zhou's eldest brother also agreed. Chen Kai thought his mother was really amazing and very domineering.
Chen Kai said, "Alright, let's discuss the division of labor for tomorrow!"
Old Man Chen said, "Tomorrow all you women will rest, and we men will work and earn money. The work needs to be redistributed."
"Tomorrow, one person needs to stay home to make cold drinks, and another person needs to deliver them. You guys can choose one from among yourselves to stay home and make the cold drinks. We'll also choose one person from your eldest uncle's family to deliver the drinks."
The eldest Chen and his friends looked at each other, all wanting to go, especially the eldest and second eldest, who were afraid of losing their wives and wanted to keep a close eye on them.
Seeing that they didn't move and were just looking at each other, Chen Kai had no choice but to say helplessly, "How about this, you guys draw lots to decide. I'll go and break off a few small sticks. Whoever draws the shortest one will stay home to make cold drinks."
Later, Xiao Tian's father was chosen to stay home and make cold drinks, and Uncle Zhou's second son came to deliver the goods.
Chen Xiaohua's father-in-law said, "I'll take charge of the clothes dyeing job tomorrow!"
Old Man Chen nodded and said, "Alright! Tomorrow, the eldest son will be in charge of selling cold noodles, the fourth son will be in charge of selling konjac, and the rest of you will sell cold drinks!"
Chen Kai said, "Dad, let them all be in charge of collecting money, and let's hire a few more people."
Old Man Chen said, "That's fine. We'll sell cold drinks tomorrow, and we need to recycle those wooden bowls too, otherwise we won't have enough. We'll need to hire two more people to wash the dishes."
Chen Kai asked, "Second Brother, is the bamboo tube mold for making popsicles ready yet?" Bamboo tubes can be used to make cups, but what can be used to make straws?
Chen Lao Er said, "It's done. I made a whole bamboo basket. Your second sister-in-law washed it all and dried it. It's in the corner of the kitchen."
Chen Kai said happily, "Then let's try making popsicles later. By the way, Second Brother, could you make some more bamboo tube cups later, preferably tall ones? If we don't have enough wooden bowls tomorrow, we can use bamboo tubes to hold them, that counts as one serving."
Chen Lao Er patted Chen Kai's head and said, "Okay, I'll make more later."
Chen Kai said, "Let's rent a few more stalls connected together tomorrow. We can set up separate groups in the front to sell things and collect money, and then set up some tables and chairs in the back so they can sit and eat."
"Each group is equipped with a variety of cold drinks and tableware. Our own family members are in charge of collecting money, and we also have a few helpers to serve the drinks."
Wu Dahai said, "I'll take some people to be in charge of replenishing the goods at your stall. If you run out of anything, just let me know and I'll come and get it for you."
Uncle Zhou asked, "With so many people here, the rent for stalls tomorrow must be quite a lot, and will we be able to rent so many stalls connected together?"
Chen Kai felt that his family was indeed quite large, and if they were all connected, they would take up a lot of space.
Old Man Chen thought for a moment and said, "The money for renting the stalls isn't the problem, it's just that it's not easy to find stalls that are connected together."
Chen Kai said, "Otherwise, we can go ahead and give the person in charge of renting out the stalls some money and ask him to make arrangements."
