Qiao Dashan took a puff of his cigarette. "I heard from the workers that his family's business is good. This carpenter surnamed Bai is very shrewd. He secretly led people to make furniture at home a long time ago and made a lot of money."
"Look at this big courtyard, he built it after he made his money, it's so spacious."
Rural people love big courtyards, especially one this big, more than four times the size of their home. He seemed quite envious and really wanted to live in such a big courtyard someday.
Qiao Xiaoni said, "Brother, as long as you work hard, you'll have a big yard like this someday."
Qiao Dashan gave a simple, honest smile. "The idea of a big courtyard was just a thought. What I want most right now is to improve our family's life. In a few years, my child will be starting school, and if he can study in the city, maybe he'll even get into university!"
Qiao Xiaoni said, "Manli learns things very quickly. I suggest you send her to kindergarten next year. Don't let her stay at home. The earlier she learns, the better she will build a solid foundation so that she won't fall behind when she goes to school in the city later."
After listening to his sister's words, Qiao Dashan thought that it made sense. The child was still young and easier to discipline. Sending him to kindergarten where teachers would teach him was better than letting him play in the mud at home.
Su Chenhao said, "This fall, I'm going to send Xiaoqiu to elementary school. He can come back and teach Manli then. The two children can study together, which will be a good way to look after each other."
Qiao Dashan was overjoyed. "That's really great. The two children are together every day, and Manli has become more well-behaved than before. She knows to take off her clothes before going to bed at night and has stopped causing your sister-in-law any worry."
Qiao Xiaoni smiled and said, "Having many children in the family does have its advantages. Once one child achieves it, the others will too."
Su Chenhao's gaze involuntarily drifted to Qiao Xiaoni's belly. When would they be able to have a child?
His gaze was so intense that Qiao Xiaoni immediately felt it, and her face flushed slightly. After getting married and having children, she knew she would definitely have kids. Just thinking about having a child... what would that be like?
As it was getting dark, carpenter Bai Cheng rushed back from outside, his cart loaded with a lot of wood, a whole cart full of it.
Bai Cheng chuckled, "I received news yesterday that someone was selling timber, so I left overnight and rushed home before dark."
The tables and chairs you requested are almost finished and will be delivered to you tomorrow.
Su Chenhao said, "We are relieved to hear that. We have already set a date to open the day after tomorrow. As long as it doesn't delay our opening, it's fine."
Bai Cheng: "Don't worry about that, it definitely won't delay your opening. And I'll bring my brothers to support you."
Su Chenhao: "That's great! Remember to spread the word for us. It's getting late, so we'll head back now."
We'll pay the balance tomorrow when the goods arrive.
Qiao Xiaoni's attention was drawn to a piece of red wood in the car. It emitted a faint floral scent, and she didn't know what kind of material it was, but it felt very nice to the touch. She thought it would be good to make a set of furniture from this wood. Thinking this, she turned around...
"Are you buying materials to sell, or to make them yourself?"
Bai Cheng walked over. "Of course, it's for making furniture. Which piece of material have you taken a fancy to?"
Qiao Xiaoni pointed to the red wood, "I want to use it to make a set of furniture. How much do you think you can afford?"
Bai Cheng's eyes gleamed with shrewdness. He liked straightforward people in business, and this family made a very smooth deal with him. The chairs and benches didn't have much profit margin, but he still made some money from them.
