While Yao Niang's braised food business was booming, Xin Guoguo's life was exceptionally comfortable every day.
Apart from teaching her two children every day, all she had to do was to look after her vineyard and order Zhuzi and the other two to work.
Although the village chief has a lot of melon seeds, it is not enough to continue this business.
In less than ten days, all the melon seeds at home were sold out.
The family tasted the sweetness of this business and simply let Liangzi go to the village to collect melon seeds.
This time is different from before.
The village chief's wife set the price.
The pumpkin seeds must be cleaned of their pulp. Wet pumpkin seeds contain moisture, and one pound costs three cents.
Dried ones cost four cents per pound.
Since there is money to be made, everyone is naturally happy to clean up.
More than three months passed, and Xinguoguo's first crop of grapes began to bear fruit.
She also ordered three large jars from the village bricklayer.
It takes another year from the time the wine is brewed to the time it is released.
At this time, the villagers also earned a small income by selling vegetables and melon seeds.
Many families renovated their houses.
Yao Niang has also given birth to a big fat boy.
But she moved to the county town early.
With the help and persuasion of Xin Guoguo, he established a female household and bought servants.
Even if the Shen family made a fuss after knowing about this, they were sent back because they could not prove that the child was theirs.
Shen Qingshan remarried a widow who had been married for the past two years and had children.
And so the days went on.
August 15th.
The Mid-Autumn moon is full.
The village chief looked at the fragrance of mooncakes wafting from every household in the village and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Now life in the village has become better, and it is no longer a dream for the children to go to school.
Xin Guoguo had no plans to bake mooncakes.
The food sent by Yao Niang, the village chief's family, and Zhuzi and the other three was enough to last for a while.
She got up early this morning, had breakfast, washed her hands, and sat in the yard waiting.
She invited Mr. Gu here today.
He was the one who was recognized as a gourmet by many people in the town.
Over the past year or so, Yao Niang has become familiar with him.
Therefore, Xin Guoguo specifically asked Yao Niang to invite someone.
He also asked Nuannuan to call the village chief over early.
At this moment, the village chief was standing in the Song family yard with his hands behind his back, talking to Xin Guoguo:
"Gui Chen, if the children in our village want to go to school, should we send them to town? Or should we build our own school and hire a teacher?"
Ever since Xin Guoguo had shown his family the way and they had made money selling melon seeds, the village chief often liked to ask Xin Guoguo for advice whenever he had something to do.
Because of this, he discovered that although the Song family looked inconspicuous from the outside, their living standard was really not low.
Pastries and snacks from the town and county can often be seen.
Although the two children were wearing ordinary coarse linen on the outside, their inner clothes were fine silk.
The village chief wondered at the time whether Song Guichen had contact with Xin Guoguo and often sent her money.
Xin Guoguo changed into a moon-white dress today, and she looked ethereal.
Hearing the village chief's words, she smiled and said:
"Let's build a school. My family will contribute 50 percent, and the rest will be shared equally among the villagers. As for hiring a teacher, we'll have to wait a while. There aren't any suitable ones right now."
"Of course, there's no need to rush to build the school. The winery will be ready for construction soon. Once the winery starts operating and earning money, and everyone has enough money, we can build the school."
The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"Can this winery really be successful?"
During this year, he also found out what Xin Guoguo was tinkering with.
Coming here today, he knew exactly what he wanted to do.
But precisely because of this, he had a feeling of uncertainty in his heart.
It's so unreal!
But when he heard Xin Guoguo's affirmative words, the village chief couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
Maybe, it can really work?
If it succeeds...
Although this was not the first time that he had imagined that scene, the village chief's face still flushed with excitement.
"Mom, Auntie is back!"
Little Song Ju Nuan knew early on that Aunt Yao Niang would bring little brother Tuantuan back today.
So after dinner, she took her brother to play at the gate of the yard.
The two little ones were dressed up beautifully by Xin Guoguo today, just like dolls in New Year pictures.
After Song Ju Nuan shouted this, he pulled his brother and ran towards the carriage with his short legs.
Xin Guoguo also stood up and said to the village chief: "Uncle, let's go out and greet them too."
The village chief nodded repeatedly.
Before going out, she smoothed her hair and tugged at the corners of her clothes to make herself look more energetic.
The carriage slowed down as it entered the village.
The children in the village often saw this carriage and knew who its owner was.
But every time they see a tall horse, they still gather around and exclaim in surprise.
His eyes were full of longing and envy.
But today, behind this carriage, there is another carriage.
The decoration of that carriage looked much more beautiful than the previous one.
Even the horses pulling the cart looked more majestic and powerful.
Little Song Ju Nuan didn't see the car behind him at first.
Now that I was closer, I could see it.
Her dark eyes widened in disbelief: "Wow! What a beautiful horse!"
Her short legs couldn't help but move closer to the horse.
The driver saw that the other children knew their limits, so he didn't chase them away.
But at this moment, such a lovely little girl actually wanted to come over to touch the horse. He was startled and quickly pulled the reins to stop the horse, shouting:
