Chapter 391: Advice before departure
After thinking about it, Wan Laoer said to Hu Zhengyang, "Zhengyang, I will go to Qinping County with you tomorrow. I will use a bullock cart to bring some potato flour to Qinping County. Bullock carts can carry more and save on shipping costs. After I get there, I will help you open the workshop first. After the potato flour is produced, I will directly bring the potato flour to the prefectural city. By then, the shops in the prefectural city should be ready."
"That's great. I was worried that I couldn't handle it alone. With my second uncle's help in opening the workshop, I don't have to worry so much. Besides, we still need to find workers temporarily, which will take time."
"Don't rush this, take your time. We can't afford to make any mistakes in a hurry."
Wan Laoer said seriously that after all, he had invested all the family savings in order to make this business a success. If he failed, it would be a fatal matter.
Hu Zhengyang also nodded solemnly. To him, this business was the capital for their family's turnaround, and he valued it more than Wan Laoer.
"Don't worry, Uncle, nothing will go wrong. I will be careful and cautious."
Wan Lao Er looked at Wan Shuang again, "Shuang, uncle may not be back until the end of the year since I'm away this time. I'll leave the house to you. You have to pay everyone on time every month. The money is with your second aunt. I'll give it to her tonight, and she'll give it to you on the due date."
"Okay, Uncle, don't worry about the family, I can handle it."
Wan Shuang was full of confidence, because he was already familiar with all these things at home. As long as he did some accounting, he would basically have nothing to do. All the potatoes had been harvested, and now it was just production, which he could manage alone. In addition, the village chief was watching over the workshop, so he didn't have to worry too much.
After the three of them finished their discussion, when it was time for dinner that night, Wan Lao Er told his family that he was going out, but Grandma Wan and Wan Er's wife didn't say anything.
But little Fubao threw away his bowl, crawled over and sat down next to Wan Laoer, and buried his little head in Wan Laoer's arms.
Wan Laoer quickly picked up his daughter and placed her on his lap.
"Daughter, what's wrong? Can't bear to leave daddy?"
"Yes, that's right. So Fubao wants to go with Daddy. Fubao also wants to go somewhere else. Daddy can't leave Fubao alone."
Little Fubao tilted his chubby little face, blinked his big, bright eyes like grapes, revealed two deep dimples on his face, and acted cute towards Wan Laoer.
How could Wan Laoer bear Fubao's behavior? He immediately agreed.
Wan Er's wife was simply disgusted. This father was good in every way except that he doted on his daughter too much. She immediately stopped Wan Laoer before he could say anything.
"Fubao, your father is going to work, not to play. He can't take good care of you if you go there, and mom is worried. Can we stay at home? After everything is done over there, mom will take you to play."
"No, humph, Fubao is going to go, Fubao is going to protect Daddy, with Fubao here, no one dares to bully Daddy."
Fubao sat on Wan Laoer's lap, with his hands on his waist, his little mouth pouting, his little nose twisted, his little face raised, and he snorted.
Old Mrs. Wan ate her meal slowly. She glanced at Mrs. Wan Er and when she saw that she was about to say something, she coughed lightly.
Mrs. Wan Er secretly glanced at Grandma Wan, and when she saw that Grandma Wan quickly withdrew her gaze, she knew that Grandma Wan agreed to let Fubao go out.
Although Wan Ersao was worried about many things, she was worried that Wan Laoer, a grown man, would not be able to take good care of Fubao, that Fubao would not eat well, and what would happen if Fubao got sick. All kinds of thoughts and worries flashed quickly through Wan Ersao's mind, but in the end she could only swallow them silently and stopped talking.
Seeing that her mother no longer objected, Fubao happily hugged Wan Laoer's neck and gave him a kiss on the face.
"Dad, Mommy agreed. You must take Fubao with you."
Wan Lao Er was so dazzled by Fu Bao's sweet kiss that he quickly agreed with a smile: "Go, Fu Bao wants to go, Daddy will take you there."
"Yeah, Daddy is so nice."
Mrs. Wan Er looked at Fubao, who was as excited as a bird just out of a cage, and couldn't help but smile. The worry in her heart was also half gone. After all, the child's happiness was more important than anything else.
The next morning, Wan Ersao came out carrying a lot of bags.
Except for Wan Laoer's two sets of clothes, the rest all belonged to Xiao Fubao.
Wan Laoer felt that he had been abandoned by his wife. Looking at his own small bag and then at his daughter's dozen bags, he felt a little disappointed.
"This is what my daughter wears this month. These are what she will wear next month and beyond. I estimate it will snow next month. Remember to add more clothes for her. I have put all the clothes she wears every day together and tied them up with cloth strips. You only need to take out a set when you change clothes for her. After washing the dirty clothes, dry them and tie them up using my method to avoid making a mess."
Wan Laoer felt his head was numb as he listened to his wife's rambling. He regretted agreeing to take Fubao out. Was it so much trouble to take care of a child? Isn't it enough to just wear warm clothes? Why do you need to wear so many sets? He really didn't understand. However, he felt a little stressed when he saw his daughter dressed up like a fairy by Wan Er's wife every day. He didn't know what his daughter would become in his hands in the future.
Hu Zhengyang had already packed his things and came to the Wan family. He saw that the ox cart was half loaded with luggage. He couldn't help but cover his eyes. He thought that his luggage seemed to be just a bundle, which was really shabby.
However, after listening to Wan Ersao's words for a while, he realized that all these things belonged to Fubao alone. He took another look at a bundle in Wan Laoer's hand and immediately gave her a sympathetic look.
"Second Aunt, don't worry, I'm here to see Sister Fubao. I often take care of my sister at home. They are about the same age, and I can take good care of her."
"Zhengyang, thank you for your hard work. Your second uncle is usually a good worker. I am really worried that he can't take good care of Fubao. I feel more at ease with you here."
After Wan Ersao put everything away, she smiled at Hu Zhengyang.
Fubao was wearing a goose yellow jacket and trousers today. On the outside, Wan Ersao also gave her a red hooded cloak with a circle of snow-white rabbit fur around the hood, which made little Fubao look even more lovely.
"Brother Zhengyang, Mom, I can take care of myself. Fubao is very capable. Don't worry. I will also take care of Daddy."
Fubao opened his arms with a smile, threw himself on Wan Ersao and gave her a big hug.
Wan Ersao's heart was about to melt. She felt that even before Fubao left, she had already started missing her daughter. She really wanted to tie her daughter to her belt.
Wan Ersao squatted down, touched Fubao's little face, and reminded him: "Fubao, don't run around outside, follow daddy closely, okay? Mommy also put your Dabai in a cage for you. If your daddy is unreliable, you can rely on Dabai, Dabai can help you."
Wan Laoer had good hearing and looked at his wife with resentment, "Mother, can you give me some face? I'm not that bad, am I? Not even as good as a goose?"
Without even a glance at Wan Lao Er, Wan Er's wife continued to say to Fu Bao, "Don't eat raw or cold food outside, otherwise your stomach will hurt. Also, if you come across something delicious, don't eat too much at once, or you will easily get indigestion and your stomach will feel uncomfortable. Also..."
Wan Ersao talked a lot, but Fubao didn't get impatient. Instead, he listened to her patiently and said with a smile, "Okay, Mom, I'll remember everything. Don't miss Fubao too much when you're at home. Fubao will bring you fun and delicious things when he comes back. Fubao has brought all the money."
After Xiao Fubao finished speaking, he patted a bulging little bag under his cloak, which turned out to be full of copper coins.
Wan Ersao didn't notice it just now, and she was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
