Don't you know how dangerous it is to go out to sea? She's a woman, and she's working so hard to make a living. You shouldn't even think about taking it easy anymore.
"If you don't work hard while you're young, you won't be able to when you're old, and you'll just be watching others eat and drink well, drooling with envy."
Chen Hong's brother made a face, "Am I that greedy? You're drooling!"
After entrusting everything in Jinan to her father and brother, Chen Hong packed up and took Yu Yang by plane back to Rongcheng.
As soon as Yu Yang arrived home, he went wild, running around the village with his two dogs and Xiao Hao Wang Xin. Chen Hong couldn't keep an eye on him and started cleaning after putting down her luggage.
The house was covered in a thick layer of dust, and the village chief and his wife had stopped staying there. The door hadn't been opened since National Day.
The fallen leaves in the yard were all swept clean, and the dog kennels were also tidy and clean.
After cleaning the house, Chen Hong took advantage of the warm sunshine to air out the blankets on the mother and daughter's bed.
After tidying up the house, she took some food to the backyard to check on things.
They fed the chickens and ducks first, then walked around the vegetable garden. The village chief and the others also set up small arched sheds in their vegetable gardens.
The vegetable garden is planted with several kinds of leafy green vegetables, including spinach, bok choy, celery, scallions, garlic sprouts, and baby bok choy, among more than a dozen other green vegetables.
Even the lettuce that Chen Hong hadn't planted in Jinan was now planted in half a row, which warmed Chen Hong's heart.
Aunt Guo knew that Chen Hong loved to eat tender lettuce leaves in winter, so she specially asked Uncle Village Chief to grow them for her.
Unbeknownst to them, Chen Hong had also planted some in her spatial storage, so she certainly didn't lack lettuce.
Chen Hong observed that cameras had already been installed on the wall, at the main gate, and under the eaves.
The surveillance cameras and computer equipment were in Hou Lin's duty room. Hou Lin was in charge of security work at Chen Hong's home and hotel.
With Hou Lin around, Chen Hong no longer worries about the safety of her hometown, no matter how far she travels.
However, from now on, she must be more careful when using the space and cannot be careless in the slightest.
At noon, Chen Hong had lunch with everyone at the hotel restaurant. After lunch, the village chief, Xiao Feng, and Hou Lin gave Chen Hong a brief overview of their family situation.
"Chen Hong, could you add some more fermentation starter when you have time? We're almost done with the ones you left behind."
This year, all of our family's vegetable gardens have been converted into small greenhouses, and we've grown quite a lot of vegetables, enough for our hotel to use throughout the winter.
If everything is done well, we can sell a batch of vegetables at a high price during the Spring Festival. We've also moved and planted the pear saplings you provided.
I'm telling you, these seedlings will definitely survive; they've developed a lot of roots.
We bought another batch of seedlings, and we should be able to free up another batch next year or the year after to distribute to Xiaohao and Wang Xin's family.
You need to get the vegetables out in the next few days. Take advantage of the good weather and water the vegetable patch again with frost-resistant water; otherwise, the vegetables might not be frost-resistant when the weather changes.
Chen Hong nodded: "I understand, I'll take care of it when I have some free time tonight."
Xiao Feng proudly boasted to Chen Hong, "Sister Chen Hong, Brother Yusheng and Brother Yuyong stayed behind after the autumn harvest."
They found a few more people, and they all went to sell roasted sweet potatoes in several nearby cities.
Business is booming now. In just ten days, half of our sweet potatoes have been sold.
At this rate, I think we'll sell out of sweet potatoes in about a week.
Sigh, I'm starting to regret it. I sold it too cheaply. I should have raised the price by 50 cents or a dollar compared to others; that way, we could have lasted until the New Year.
Before Chen Hong could say anything, Xiao Feng was scolded by the village chief: "You're just selling roasted sweet potatoes, look how smug you are."
If you can make money in the first year of selling, that's already good enough. Why are you still so dissatisfied?
It's so cold. The sooner we sell them all, the sooner we can go home. How much can we earn? This year people know our sweet potatoes are delicious, and next year they'll definitely buy from us.
"Look to the future! If the whole village grows sweet potatoes next year, you'll all have plenty to sell!"
Chen Hong smiled and nodded: "Uncle is right!"
Xiaofeng: ...
Hou Lin also asked Chen Hong about the installation of the surveillance system and said that he was now fully recovered and could be given some other work.
Chen Hong expressed her difficulty, as she only ran a small family-run inn, so what kind of work could she possibly ask him to do?
Afterwards, she discussed it with the village chief, and in the end, the village chief still managed to find him a job.
In addition to overseeing safety, he was also tasked with training three children from several families in military-style boxing every morning and evening.
In the words of the village chief: It's better to train a few kids than to spend more money to send them to learn taekwondo or karate!
Anyway, he's just sitting around doing nothing. It's not convenient for Hou Lin to do other physical work with only one hand, so he wouldn't be happy if he were just left idle.
It's quite suitable for him to take care of children. Anyway, the children all admire him and listen to him.
The village chief was pleased, thinking that maybe in ten years, some of their families would produce young men who would join the army.
Hou Lin thought he would finally have work to do. It was really frustrating to get paid for nothing. He never expected that the village chief would assign him the job of a child leader.
The news that Yu Sheng and Yu Yong had returned to the village reminded Chen Hong that this small inn couldn't support so many people.
"Uncle, Yusheng and Yuyong are back. After selling the sweet potatoes, they won't have much work left. Have you thought about how to arrange things for them?" Chen Hong discussed with the village chief.
The village chief was also in a dilemma. The shop was small and there were too many people. No matter how he arranged things, he couldn't make enough room for them. What kind of work could the two men do if they were all in the hotel?
The village chief said with difficulty, "If we arrange for them to go fishing, their elderly relatives will definitely disagree."
Both of them were only children in their families, and neither of them were skilled at fishing at sea.
It's winter now, and no one needs to work in the fields. We can't just leave them idle, can we?
Chen Hong considered the feasibility of contracting sea area for aquaculture and consulted the village chief.
