"Wife, what's wrong?"

After realizing that Yun Mo was looking at him, Ling Chuan felt somewhat confused.

Yun Mo calmly withdrew her gaze, "Nothing, I just felt that you seemed to have become a little whiter. You used to be dark, with a thin face, and you didn't like to smile. You looked fierce."

Ling Chuan was slightly stunned, "What about now?"

"Now that his skin is whiter and his face has gained some flesh, he looks more refined and elegant."

He knew that his wife liked men who were fair-skinned and well-mannered, like Wen Qingsheng and Jian Xun.

Ling Chuan felt jealous, and at the same time he secretly made up his mind to stay out of the sun in the future, as his wife would not like him if he got tanned.

Perhaps because of his experience in making wire scraping tool benches, the owner of the blacksmith shop was able to make tools for scraping bamboo strips very smoothly this time.

Like the scraping tool bench, the scraping tool bench is also designed with five blades of different widths.

Lingchuan tried them one by one and the results were quite good. The strips of bamboo scraped out were of uniform thickness, and it saved time and effort.

Back at the Huang family's home, Huang Kailin and Huang Jianjun gathered around the tool bench for scraping bamboo strips and marveled at the sight, while Yang Xinghua and Huang Zhiqiu were busy building kennels for the two puppies in the woodshed using straw and tattered old clothes.

The Huang family lives on a hillside, and the temperature at night sometimes drops below 0 degrees. The puppies are weak and can easily freeze to death if they are not kept warm.

Maybe because they are local dogs, the two little ones have a strong ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments. As soon as they landed, they ran around Huang's house with their tails wagging. They are not picky about food. When they are fed with batter, they bury their heads in the food and eat it with relish.

After eating, they huddle in their own doghouses and sleep soundly, and it is impossible to wake them up. They are so cute.

As the end of the year approaches, Xie Linan is much busier than usual. He has social engagements every day and often does not return home until after 10 o'clock in the evening.

"dad."

Seeing his daughter sitting on the sofa, Xie Linan concealed the tiredness on his face and walked over with a smile.

"Xia'er, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Xie Xia raised her chin and said, "The rice dumpling box has arrived. Take a look."

Only then did Xie Linan notice the emerald green bamboo rice dumpling box on the coffee table.

The moment he saw the rice dumpling box clearly, Xie Linan's eyes lit up.

"Did Xiaomo send this box of rice dumplings?"

"Hmm, do you think I can perform magic for you out of thin air?"

Xie Linan took the rice dumpling box and looked at it from left to right, up to down, his satisfaction evident.

Xie Xia's heart slowly settled down. Although Xie Linan didn't say anything, from his expression, it was clear that this rice dumpling box met his requirements.

"Not bad, not bad. This rice dumpling box is much better than the previous sample. It looks very unique and the color is well chosen. When it is put on the shelves in the mall, it will definitely give people a refreshing feeling."

"Momo said she will call you tomorrow at noon to ask for your opinion."

"I have no objection. This is great. I have to go out tomorrow. Please tell her to follow this and she will give birth."

"I see."

Although she guessed that Xie Linan would be satisfied with the rice dumpling box, Yun Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she got the confirmed result.

Now that the samples of the rice dumpling boxes are ready, we can concentrate on building the bamboo weaving factory.

After returning to the Huang family, Yun Mo began to pack her luggage, preparing to live in the city permanently, and try to complete the construction of the factory before the Spring Festival.

In addition to Huang Jianjun and Huang Zhiqiu, Huang Kailin also wanted to go along.

It doesn't matter at normal times, but now there are a lot of good things in the house, and the New Year is approaching, there may be some people with bad intentions targeting the Huang family. At least a strong laborer like Huang Jianjun must be left at home to look after the house. Huang Kailin is old, and he will be useless if anything happens.

But she and Huang Zhiqiu, two weak girls, couldn't help much at school, and it would definitely not work relying on Lingchuan alone.

Yun Mo thought of Chen Bin.

"Mom, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Huang Zhiqiu pulled her to sit on the bed, "Momo, we should not be so formal as mother and daughter. Just tell me what's going on."

Yun Mo briefly told Huang Zhiqiu about her concerns and thoughts, "Mom, what do you think of Chen Bin?"

"I'm not too sure. He's from the next village and doesn't have much contact with our family. But I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about him."

Yun Mo made up her mind and answered directly, "Mom, do you like a man like Chen Bin?"

Huang Zhiqiu stared and his face turned red all of a sudden, but it was not the red of shyness, but the red of annoyance.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Chen Bin is only a few years older than your cousin Qinghe. How could I possibly like him?"

The implication is that Chen Bin should be regarded as his nephew.

Yun Mo breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace. What she had been worried about the most was that Chen Bin would coax his biological mother away and become her stepfather.

Although Chen Bin is a righteous man, tactful but not worldly-wise, and a person worth making friends with, it is better not to let him be her stepfather.

"Mom, I've thought about it. My uncle is honest and straightforward, and not good at dealing with people. You are a woman, and you may not be able to handle some situations. Chen Bin is a good partner. He is outgoing and talkative, and can chat with anyone. Let him join the bamboo weaving factory, and he can be responsible for external liaison and reception work in the future."

Huang Zhiqiu didn't have any objections. "It's fine if you think it's okay. Mom believes in your vision."

After convincing Huang Zhiqiu, Yun Mo called all the Huang family members together and held a family meeting.

The first step is to clarify the number of partners, investment amount and shareholding ratio of the bamboo weaving factory.

"The deposit and rent for the factory is 15,000 yuan in total, plus the initial construction, equipment, materials, workers' wages and meals, etc. I have prepared 10,000 yuan here, so the total is 25,000 yuan.

In other words, the total investment capital of this bamboo weaving factory is 25,000. I have two friends who also invested in the bamboo weaving factory, one took 500 and the other took 3,000.

Next is Chen Bin. I will reserve 3,000 investment for Chen Bin for the time being, which means there are a total of 6,500 external funds. There is still a funding gap of 18,500 left, and I have already prepared this money.

It was agreed that the bamboo weaving factory would be jointly established by my mother and my uncle. My idea is that of the 18,500 investment amount, my mother would take 9,500 and my uncle would take 9,000. What do you think? "

Yun Mo had some selfish motives in allocating this investment.

Although there is not much difference between 9500 and 9000, the extra 500 yuan will allow Huang Zhiqiu to have absolute say in the bamboo weaving factory.

"Just do as Momo said."

Huang Kailin was the first to express his opinion, and other members of the Huang family followed suit.

After the Huang family's family meeting, Yun Mo went straight to Chen Bin and briefly told him about the current development of the bamboo weaving factory.

Chen Bin readily agreed to invest in the bamboo weaving factory, "I will go to the town to get the money tomorrow morning."

"Brother Chen, the money is not urgent. What matters right now is to set up the bamboo weaving factory as soon as possible. The deadline is tight and the orders are heavy. We must complete the delivery before April 15th so that we can have the next cooperation."

Chen Bin was also a smart person, and he immediately asked, "Just tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Brother Chen, come with us to the city tomorrow and help get the factory ready. Bring two extra sets of clothes with you. You may not return to the village until the New Year."

"Okay, what time tomorrow?"

"Meet at the bus station in town at 8 o'clock."
