Only after leaving the kitchen did they breathe a sigh of relief. They had seen the young boss's abilities before. Fortunately, they usually worked carefully, otherwise if the young boss got angry, their fate would be like that teacup, being shattered into powder.
Qibaohui returned to the hall and said to Zhang, "Not bad, you manage very well. Keep up the good work. This month, each of us will receive an extra 1 or 2 taels of silver as a reward. Keep up the good work."
Shopkeeper Zhang said happily, "Thank you, sir. I'd like to thank you on behalf of everyone else. Don't worry, sir. I will do my best to fulfill my responsibilities."
Qibao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then I'll be leaving first. You can go back and get busy!"
After Qibao and the old man finished their work, they also returned to Xujia Village.
As soon as he entered the house, Wang asked, "How is it? Is there a suitable yard?"
The old man said, "I've already bought it. It's a bit bigger than where we live now, with a three-story courtyard. I spent seven hundred and fifty taels of silver."
Wang said, "Why did you buy such a big yard? We don't live there often, it would be a shame to leave it empty!"
The old man said, "Who said no one lives here? It's not a good idea for Wenwu and the others to live in the barbecue restaurant. It's not suitable for studying. Isn't it a perfect opportunity for them to move in?" He then told his family what Qibao had said.
Others thought this was true and did not dwell on this issue.
Wang said, "I went to the land we bought this morning. Villagers often collect firewood there, and there aren't any weeds, so there's no need to hire someone to weed it."
In the afternoon, Uncle Xu and the village chief came back.
"I have already told the village chiefs of several nearby villages. They are all very happy and said that they will definitely let the men in the village come and start work tomorrow," said the village chief.
Uncle Xu continued, "I'm going to ask the same company that delivered the bricks and tiles for our workshop when we built our house last time. They will be able to deliver them tomorrow morning."
"Second and third brothers, you two should take people to dig holes in the flat ground tomorrow. The fruit tree seedlings will be delivered tomorrow and we can plant them immediately." said the old man.
"Brother, I will come to help tomorrow, just provide meals!" said the village chief.
"Then I would like to thank the village chief here!" The old man thanked him.
Everyone walked together and discussed for a while before the village chief said goodbye and went back.
The next morning, just as the Xu family finished their meal, the village chief arrived, followed by a large group of men.
The village chief said, "This is the worker from the nearby village. He came here early in the morning."
The old man looked at these people. Many of them were the men who came to Xujia Village to build roads last time, and there were also some unfamiliar faces.
The old man also saw two people, who were the two uncles of the children in the family. One was Li Fugui, the elder brother of the second daughter-in-law, and the other was Zhang Chunxi, the younger brother of the eldest daughter-in-law.
The old man asked the second and third sons to take everyone to the flat land. He was going to the town today to find someone to bring back the fruit seedlings. Qibao was afraid of any mishap, so he followed them.
This time, Uncle Xu drove the carriage and went with them.
When he arrived in the town, the old man found a delivery man and negotiated a price with him. The man then followed the old man with his fleet of cars and went to the new house together.
It did attract a lot of attention along the way. After all, it was rare to see so many carriages driving in the middle of the street, but people were just looking out of curiosity.
When they arrived at the gate of the house, the alley was only wide enough for one carriage to enter. If all the carriages behind went in, the carriages in front would not be able to get out.
The old man could only let one carriage go out first before the next carriage could come in.
I was really busy and sweating before all the saplings were loaded onto the carriage.
After locking the door, the old man immediately led these people to Xujia Village.
Fortunately, the road has been repaired, otherwise if it were the old road, these saplings would definitely be blown apart.
The convoy was brought to the flat land where the fruit trees were planted, and the workers and those who had good sense came forward to help.
With more people working, the work went much faster. After a while, all the fruit tree seedlings were unloaded and placed neatly on the ground without any damage.
After giving the silver to the leader of the caravan, he took his men away.
The old man said to the men who came to work, "First of all, I want to thank you all very much for coming to Xujia Village to work for my family. I think everyone knows how much we pay for the wages." Then he pulled Old Man Lin to his side and continued, "This is my brother-in-law. Let him be in charge of your work. You can call him Manager Lin."
Old Man Lin was stunned. He didn't expect the old man to let him take care of these people. He was a little nervous, but it was hard to refuse. If he refused, wouldn't it be embarrassing for his in-laws? He gritted his teeth and agreed.
The men who came to work all took care of Old Man Lin and called him "Manager Lin" all the time. Although Old Man Lin was nervous, his vanity was greatly satisfied.
So the old man started digging the first shovel of soil, and then the workers took their tools and began to dig the foundation.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed and started working, Old Man Lin pulled the old man aside and said, "Brother, why did you let me be the manager? I'm afraid I can't do it well. I'm so nervous!"
The old man smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I'll let your son-in-law help you. You don't need to do any work. It's just right for you to get familiar with how to manage workers in advance. Then you won't be so busy when the workshop opens in the future. Don't you agree?"
Old man Lin thought about it, this workshop is a big deal, it is the hard work of his precious granddaughter, he can't let himself mess it up, so he said: "Okay, I will be in charge. There will be some men in the village, and they won't laugh at me if I don't do it well. I'll go and watch it now." After that, he went to where the workers were working.
