At bedtime, Chen Chen said to the two children lying on the big bed, "You promised Dad today, let's go to sleep in the small beds, shall we?"
Upon hearing this, the two kids lay on the bed groaning and unwilling to get up.
Seeing them like this, Chen Zhen coaxed them, "Dad will watch you fall asleep, then go to sleep, okay?"
"Okay then." The two children replied reluctantly.
"Don't draw the curtain." He Siyi requested again.
"Okay, don't draw the curtain." Chen Chen agreed.
Afterwards, Chen Zhen picked up the two babies, put them in the crib, and coaxed them to sleep.
In order to make them feel more secure when sleeping, he also took two sets of his and He Jinshu's clothes, folded them and placed them next to their pillows.
Perhaps because they had played all day, the two children were tired and fell asleep soon after being coaxed. After seeing them fall asleep, Chen Chen tiptoed back to the big bed.
After lying in bed for a long time, he didn't find anything abnormal with the two children. Shen Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to He Jinshu, "Finally, we have dealt with these two ancestors."
He Jinshu hugged him and kissed him when he heard this, then said, "Thank you for your hard work, husband."
Chen Chen turned over and hugged He Jinshu into his arms, then said to him, "After a few days, when they gradually get used to it, I will secretly pull up the curtain."
"Okay." He Jinshu responded.
After that, the two chatted casually for a few more minutes and then gradually fell into a deep sleep.
In a few days, the two children will have their first birthday party. Today, in addition to the usual friends and relatives, County Magistrate Feng also came to attend the banquet. However, most of the villagers did not know his identity, and those who knew did not say much, so it did not cause much sensation.
The day after the lively banquet and the Zhou-Chou ceremony, Li Mo took his men back to the county town and continued to run the shop.
Chen Zhen found Wang Erpi and Zhang Qiang and asked them whether they were willing to stay in the He family workshop to work or go out to do business.
When these people just came back, Chen Zhen arranged for them to live in the workshop. Chen Zhen had a row of houses built in the workshop to accommodate the guards.
"Working in a workshop is relatively stable and the wages are relatively fixed. If you do business, there are certain risks involved. How much you can earn depends on your ability. Think about what you want to do?" Chen Chen said to them.
Zhang Qiang and the others looked at each other when they heard this, and then they were the first to say, "He Fulang, we also want to do business."
On the way back from Luozhou, they learned a lot about trading from the people in Wangji Village. They felt that trading was a good business, as there was a stable supply of goods, and the goods were selling very well. As long as they were familiar with the route and were not afraid of hard work, it would be no problem to earn dozens of taels of silver in one trip.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen said, "Sure. The canned fruit workshop is almost finished, and it will definitely sell well. You don't have to worry about the goods at all. Also, since this is your first time, I'll make it easy for you. You can pay for the first batch of 'testing the waters' goods after you sell them."
Zhang Qiang and the others were naturally happy after hearing this, so they hurriedly thanked Chen Chen.
After discussing this matter, Chen Chen said to them, "Once you sell your first batch of goods, you can no longer live in the workshop. You will have to go out and build your own house."
"Of course." Zhang Qiang said, "Thank you, Mr. He, for taking me in these days."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen nodded, and then asked Wang Erpi: "What about you? What do you think?"
"I just work in the workshop." said Wang Erpi.
He was not as strong as Zhang Qiang and the others, and he was alone. It would be better for him to work in the workshop than to go out. He had asked others in the past few days and learned that if you work in Shen Zhen's workshop, as long as you work hard, the treatment will definitely be good. You will also get holiday gifts during the New Year and other festivals. The most important thing is that there are employee dormitories in the workshop, so he doesn't have to rush to build a house outside.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen said, "Okay, then, after the cannery and fermented black bean workshop start production, you can go there to work. As for which workshop you go to, it's up to you to choose. However, once you choose one, you can't change it, so you need to think it through carefully beforehand."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. He." Wang Erpi responded.
Chen Zhen nodded upon hearing this, and then let a few people go down.
A few days later, the newly built workshop officially started production, and Wang Erpi, Zhang Qiang and others went there directly to start their own business.
At the same time, the village school was officially completed, and the plaque had been hung up. Everything was ready. They just had to wait for the teacher to come over to discuss and formulate the system, and then they could start officially recruiting students.
That night, after coaxing his two sons to sleep, Chen Chen slowly pulled the curtains. After waiting for a while and not noticing any movement from the two children, he returned to bed.
After lying down, he held He Jinshu in his arms, kissed him and said, "Ah Shu, I missed you so much."
He Jinshu reached out and slowly stroked his smooth back, then whispered in his ear in a low voice, "Husband, you're addressing me wrongly."
"Then do you want to do it?" Chen Chen asked in a nonchalant manner.
He Jinshu did not respond to him when he heard that, but just tilted his head slightly and kissed him. It doesn't matter if you don't call me that now, I will make you call me that willingly later.
After the moon reached its zenith, the noise in the room gradually died down. The two of them lay on the bed, drenched in sweat. Chen Chen panted as he said, "I haven't sat for a long time. My waist is a little sore."
"Why don't you say that my skills have improved?" He Jinshu said unbalancedly.
"That's true," Chen Chen nodded seriously, "Not only has his physical strength improved, but he's also got more tricks." He even learned to tease with words.
After saying that, he turned sideways and asked He Jinshu curiously, "Ah Shu, have you been reading too many novels in the library? Is that why you're so busy today?"
A few days ago, Chen Zhen wanted to look for books in the library on how to artificially cultivate mushrooms. The geographical environment of Cangzhou is very suitable for the growth of various types of mushrooms, but if the demand is to be met in the long term, a way to artificially cultivate them must be found.
So Chen Zhen wanted to come in and look up some information, but he accidentally saw a book called "Runaway Sweetheart, Come into My Arms Obediently" in the library's borrowing records.
Chen Zhen had never borrowed this book. They were the only two people in the library who borrowed books, so the only one who could borrow this book was He Jinshu.
