Ye Erquan and the other two also had their eyes shining; they never expected that it would actually work!
The day after the outhouse was built, the two new houses had their roof beams raised on the same day.
After the beam was installed, the next steps were to lay the tiles, lay the floor tiles, and plaster the walls white; everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
After Ye Yong went to learn his trade, he could no longer deliver goods, so Ye Daquan had to return to his old profession.
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Madam Du, accompanied by the matchmaker, went to the Hu family to request a wedding date, and the wedding date was officially set.
Time flies when you're busy.
On December 24, the house was finally tiled and the floor tiles were laid.
Ye Caiping paid the wages, and the villagers worked intermittently for more than 30 days. Each of them received a considerable wage, and they were all overjoyed.
On December 25th, five days before the Lunar New Year.
Wang Shuantou finished making all the doors, windows, and furniture.
First, the doors and windows were installed, then the furniture was moved in. By then, after two months, both houses were completed.
With the Lunar New Year just a few days away, Ye Caiping wasn't in a hurry to move.
After the family has had a lively and joyous New Year celebration, it's not too late to hold a housewarming party later.
Grandma Ye and Ye Caiping stood in front of the tightly closed gate of the large brick and tile house.
"Caiping, thank you," Grandma Ye said, her eyes reddening.
If it weren't for her daughter, she would never have been able to live in a house like this in her entire life.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Mother's good days are yet to come. I will try my best to make sure Mother lives a life surrounded by servants."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm already enjoying life to the fullest." Old Mrs. Ye smiled and gave her a reproachful look.
"Let's go, call my eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and a few maids, let's go to town to buy New Year's goods."
"Mother!" Ye Jin'er ran over at this moment, "The manager of Shunke Restaurant is looking for you. Oh, and the managers of Daxing Restaurant and Decai Inn, three of them."
"Huh? They came to my house?"
"right!"
"I was just thinking of going to town later to buy some New Year's goods and then stopping by them."
Ye Caiping and the other two hurried home.
Upon entering, one sees Manager Chi, Manager Pang of Daxing Restaurant, and Manager Wang of Decai Inn sitting in the main room.
There were five or six boxes of pastries and three bolts of cloth on the coffee table.
Ye Daquan and Ye Erquan were chatting with them.
Because they delivered goods every day, the two brothers had become quite familiar with the three shopkeepers.
"Hello, Madam Ye!" The three men stood up with smiles when they saw her.
"Greetings, managers." Ye Caiping greeted them and then sat down.
"It's almost the end of the year, so we thought we'd give Madam Ye some New Year's gifts. It's just a small token of our appreciation, please don't find it offensive," Manager Chi said with a smile, gesturing to the pastries and fabrics placed to the side.
Although he only earns 100 coins per bucket of spicy soup, six buckets a day would earn him 600 coins.
But the spicy soup boosted his business and revived her restaurant, which is why he is most grateful to Ye Caiping.
The other two families were in the same situation, so they got together and decided to send Ye Caiping a New Year's gift.
"Thank you all." Ye Caiping accepted the gifts without hesitation. It was necessary for both parties to exchange favors in a cooperation, and it would be awkward to refuse.
"I was just about to talk to you, but you've arrived first."
