Xu Jiushi interrupted Li Mao and said, "Since the boss has decided this way, she will not lose money, and she will not think that you are greedy.
Sweet potatoes and radishes are easy to grow and sell. You won't have any problems without the boss watching over you. She trusts you."
Kang Yueran said that if they wanted to plant on a large scale, they had to rely on the power of the people. If more people knew about it, even the biggest secret would be leaked one day. It would be better to teach it to the people openly.
After hearing this, Xu Jiushi thought it made sense and suggested that the radish seeds and sweet potato seedlings be given to the people together to avoid having to make an extra trip.
Kang Yueran refused, saying that cognition takes time. It can't be given too quickly or too frequently, just like eating meat, you have to chew it to taste the flavor before swallowing it to appreciate its deliciousness.
Xu Jiushi didn't understand these principles, but what Kang Yueran said was definitely right.
Bai Lizheng sighed, "Master Da is truly kind and righteous!"
Yang Lizheng of Xiyang Village asked, "Manager Xu, our village also has over a hundred acres of sandy soil fields. Can we also go to Qingpingzhuang to get radish seeds?"
"Yes, as long as there is sandy soil, you can grow radishes. In February after the New Year, you can also come to our Qingping Village to get sweet potato seedlings. We will teach you how to plant sweet potatoes and how to cultivate sweet potato seedlings."
Yang Lizheng and the others finally felt relieved. He laughed and said, "Since we've borrowed Brother Li's precious land today, we must have a few more drinks with Manager Xu!"
Li Mao was a man of broad mind. He knew that a single tree cannot make a forest. He laughed heartily and said, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely have a few more drinks later!"
The big boss helped the people without expecting anything in return. He was so grateful to the big boss that he was willing to follow the big boss's wishes and live together with other villages.
At this time, Kang Yueran, the boss who was praised by everyone, was holding the form she drew and teaching twenty-one people how to fill out the inventory details list.
She thought the numbers one to ten were too difficult to write, so she used the abbreviations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, and asked everyone to remember them.
Although not all of these people have to work as accountants, it’s never a bad thing to learn one more thing!
Liu Sanya changed her name to Liu Yixin, indicating that she would be of one mind with Kang Yue and I and would never betray me.
Knowing that Kang Yueran would be responsible for all the accounts in the future, she studied the most seriously.
In the twelfth lunar month, Guo Tong sent someone to tell Kang Yueran that if she wanted people to live in Kaoshan Village and Xiangshan Village for a long time, they had to settle down.
Kang Yueran asked Xu Jiushi to inform everyone in Qingpingshan and Kaoshan Village that they would have a holiday on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and give each family two pieces of coarse cloth and one tael of silver so that they could return to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.
After the New Year, if you are willing to stay in your hometown for a long time, you can come back to receive silver. Each family will receive one or two taels of silver per person as severance pay.
If you are still willing to come back, you must come back to continue working before the 18th day of the first lunar month, and there will be no severance pay.
When you come back, you must bring your household registration with you and settle in Kaoshan Village or Xiangshan Village in the future.
After hearing this, many people were confused. They had land, friends and family back home, and they had family to look after them, but they couldn't make much money back home.
It is true that one can make money in Kaoshan Village, but no matter how good Kaoshan Village is, it is not one’s hometown. Moreover, as time goes by, one will gradually become alienated from the family. If something happens in the future, the family may not be willing to help them.
It was a dilemma! Everyone wanted to wait until the holidays to sit down with the whole family and discuss it slowly.
After the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Kang Yueran brought Dacheng and Xiaocheng back to the courtyard.
There were seven or eight large boxes in the yard. Huang said, "Yueran, you've returned just in time. More than an hour ago, a dozen people came with these boxes, saying they were holiday gifts from the capital."
She took out a letter from her bosom and said, "She asked me to pass it to you!"
The envelope was written with "Kang Yueran's personal letter" in Chai Shijing's handwriting.
Chai Shijing had been gone for so long, but the two of them had only exchanged letters twice.
Kang Yueran stuffed the letter into her arms and asked Hu Dacheng to open the box.
The things in the box were very messy, as if they were put in there just by whatever they could think of.
There were silks, fruits, spices, jewelry, and five sets of the most popular ruqun, with short narrow sleeves, high waist and long skirt, tied with a ribbon under the chest.
Kang Yueran smiled as she looked at the skirt. It suited her very well. Wearing it, she looked graceful and charming; even at the critical moment, it didn't prevent her from kicking people.
Hu Dacheng smiled evilly and said to Huang and the others, "It must have been sent by His Royal Highness Prince Ping. The girl and His Royal Highness Prince Ping have decided to spend their lives together."
Everyone was shocked!
Huang nervously took Kang Yueran's hand and said, "Yueran, you can't be a concubine. Even if that Prince Ping likes you and protects you, a concubine is still a concubine. You will always be inferior to the wife."
Kang Yueran smiled, "Can I be his concubine with my personality? If he can't marry me legally, I will never be with him."
"Who are you?"
"There's a big gap in our status, but I'm working hard to make myself more powerful. Don't worry, auntie. I really like Prince Ping, but if he wants me to be his concubine, I will never agree."
Kang Yueran always had her own ideas. Huang suppressed her worries for the time being and said, "That's good! You have so many businesses, we don't have to worry about food and drink, so we don't want to be someone else's concubine."
Kang Yueran nodded and continued to fiddle with the things in the box. "He gave me a holiday gift, so I should give him something too!"
Everyone was talking around Kang Yueran, and no one noticed that He Zhengchu was trying hard to hold back his red eyes and not let himself cry.
He looked at Kang Yueran, but in his heart he hated himself. He hated his background, his incompetence, and his past.
Kang Yueran is such a good girl, she deserves a good man to marry her and love her for the rest of her life.
He doesn't deserve it!
As he thought about it, tears began to fall. He quickly raised his hand to wipe them away and tried his best to force a smile.
Kang Yueran looked so beautiful when she smiled. He secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would stay with Kang Yueran so that she could always smile so beautifully.
Hu Dacheng nudged He Zhengchu with his arm and asked, "Zhengchu, what are you thinking about? Your smile is so ugly. It doesn't look like a smile, it looks more like crying! No, it's even uglier than crying!"
He Zhengchu quickly calmed down and said, "No way, you must have seen it wrong!"
"How could I see it wrong? Your smile just now was very fake."
Everyone looked at them. He Zhengchu was afraid of being discovered, so he insisted that Hu Dacheng had seen it wrong.
Huang said to He Zhengchu, "Zhengchu looks beautiful even when he cries!"
Hu Dacheng scratched his head. "Okay, okay, I know Zhengchu looks better when he cries than when he smiles. Is that okay?"
Kang Yuanchen laughed, "Dacheng, you have self-awareness."
Hu Dacheng snorted, "I'll help the girl move the boxes into the house."
In the evening, Kang Yueran opened the letter. In addition to expressing his longing for her, Chai Shijing also asked Kang Yueran for tea. He also left an address and said that the person who delivered the tea would stay there for three days.
