The next day, after talking to his parents, he went to Xilin Village. Everything in the winery was in order, and Wang Yu didn't pay much attention to it. Little Feifei was already five years old and had grown a lot taller. Children change every year as they grow up. Although Wang Yu didn't come here often, Feifei still knew him. This man was his uncle who would bring him delicious food and fun things, and he liked him very much.
This time I came to talk to my brother-in-law about the matter in Fucheng. I have already mentioned it in my last letter. The winery here needs a new manager, and Brother Cheng is going to the Fucheng Winery.
Wang Yu met the new manager of the winery, who looked like an honest young man. He said he was his sister-in-law's younger brother, Lin Chuan, who had just gotten married a few years ago. His sister-in-law was not at home and he had a child under two years old who needed someone to take care of him. His sister-in-law's family was a bit far from here, so his eldest brother built a simple house in the yard for him to live in to save him the trouble of traveling back and forth every day.
At this moment, Lin Chuan felt a little uneasy looking at Wang Yu, the real boss. Although his elder brother told him that they were all relatives and there was no need to be nervous, he couldn't help but be nervous because the other party was a scholar and a scholar.
Since they were chosen by the eldest brother, Wang Yu was relieved. He didn't say much and just asked them to do their job well and he would never treat them unfairly. Lin Chuan was the manager of the winery and also the brewer, with a monthly salary of three taels.
In Lin Chuan's opinion, being able to work in a winery was already a good thing. It was easier than working in the county during the slack season, and the monthly salary was higher. Their family was not rich, and their parents could take care of the few acres of thin land at home.
The monthly salary he earns from working here can greatly improve his family's life, and the extra money can be saved, so his life will gradually get better in the future. This is how farmers accumulate their wealth bit by bit.
So Lin Chuan was very grateful to get this job, which was as respectable as being a manager in the town. Many people in the village envied him and said that his sister had married well and could promote her family when she became successful.
After explaining the winery, Wang Yu told them about the city: "The winery in the city is almost finished. Big brother, you can go there with my sister-in-law and Feifei. You don't need to worry about other things in the winery. The Zhang family will arrange the staff. You only need to be responsible for brewing. We just need to recruit some winemakers."
In fact, Wang Yu planned to hire a few people to make wine and koji. He didn't worry about their betrayal as long as he had the indentures in his hands. He could ask Zhang's family to arrange for the other workers to wash and steam the grain.
The sister-in-law was very confused because she didn't expect that she and Feifei would also go.
Wang Yu: "I was thinking that it wouldn't be good for Big Brother to stay in the capital for a long time and be separated from Big Sister-in-law. The winery has staff dormitories, so it would be great for you to live together."
"Feifei is five years old and ready for enlightenment. The teachers in the capital are better. You can find a teacher to teach him first. Feifei lives in my house. You can come and see him anytime you miss him."
The elder brother and his wife were very happy to hear him say this. They had been thinking about letting Feifei go to school for a long time. Now that the family has enough money, it would be great for her to be able to study. Just look at Wang Yu and you will know. However, they did not expect that Feifei could go to the provincial capital to study.
Cheng's father and mother also agreed. Although the two children were no longer with them, they would not stop them from considering their grandson's future. If it were not for their son-in-law Wang Yu, their family would not be in this situation, and their grandson could still go to school.
After making the agreement with his eldest brother, he stayed with Cheng Chen at Yue's house for two days. When he left, his mother-in-law gave them two chickens and a basket of eggs and asked them to take them to the provincial capital to eat. They had not gone hunting in the mountains much in the past two years, so they also raised some poultry at home.
After returning home, the family packed up and prepared to go to the provincial capital. This time, the king's father and mother also wanted to go. The king's father planned to go and get acquainted with the place and then come back, as he was still needed to take care of the farm work.
At night, Wang Yu kept thinking, since the whole family is going to the provincial capital, and may go to the capital in the future, but Yuxi Village is their root, should they build a new house?
After discussing with his parents the next day, everyone felt that it was okay to build a house, so he asked his father to arrange the construction at home. It would be better to apply for a larger residential plot for the house first, and build a courtyard with blue bricks and tiles first. This would be the ancestral home in the future, so it had to be built well, and when there were more people in the future, it could be expanded next to it.
Wang Yu went to Yue's house yesterday and got the sixty-four taels of silver from last month. He had a total of more than one hundred and fifty taels of silver in his hand. He gave one hundred and fifty taels to his father to start building a yard and a few rooms in the countryside. It didn't need to be decorated with dragons or painted with paintings, but just needed to be sturdy and beautiful. It would probably only cost about one hundred and fifty taels of silver, which should be enough.
In this way, Wang Yu had only a few taels of silver left, but Cheng Chen still had more than twenty taels of silver, and his monthly subsidy of three taels of silver was enough for the two of them, and the winery also had an income of sixty-four taels every month.
After arranging these things, Wang Yu took his mother, Cheng Chen, and his brother-in-law's family back to the provincial capital. It was Old Man Sun who opened the door. Wang Yu walked into the yard, called the people, and introduced the group to them.
When the Queen Mother heard them calling her old lady, she felt a little uncomfortable for a while. She didn't feel it in the village, as they always called her aunt and grandma. But when she suddenly became an old lady, she felt that her family was really different and could use servants.
The Queen Mother walked around the yard and was very satisfied. Such a nice house, every detail was exquisite, much better than the houses she had seen in the town!
Wang Yu wanted to let his mother live in the main house, but his mother disagreed, saying that Wang Yu was already an adult and a scholar, so he should be the head of the family and it would be troublesome to move around. She could just live in the east wing.
In this era, parents are the ones who take charge of the household accounts, and Wang Mu did not take this job. She was not really a rich old lady, and she did not care about these things. Although her family has changed now and she has some money, she may not be able to do a good job in charge. Since Cheng Chen did a good job, she let him do it, and she just wanted to enjoy herself.
The eldest brother and his family are temporarily living in the west wing. Wang Yu and Chen Yanwen have agreed to report to the provincial school on the first day of April. The provincial school does not require the new students to register on an exact date, after all, the distances vary, but it cannot exceed May.
