Erya's nickname was given by Qin Jinlian.

Shen Mingzhu suspected that if Du Juan gave birth to another daughter, Qin Jinlian would give her the nickname San Ya.

However, having the eldest, second and third daughters is better than having younger brothers and waiting for them to come.

…

Shen Mingzhu rode her Mulan bike back by herself and did not let Pei Yang follow her. She only brought Pei Ziheng, who was on summer vacation.

The full-month gift that Shen Mingzhu prepared was a silver lock and two sets of baby clothes, and she also gave a fifty-yuan gift to Du Juan and her husband.

It was hot and there was a lot of work to do at the factory, so Shen Mingzhu didn't plan to stay any longer. After dinner, she took Pei Ziheng and prepared to return to the city.

Jia Yuemei handed Erya to Qin Jinlian's care, and took Shen Xiangnan to see her out of the village enthusiastically.

"Little sister, now that I have a child and Xiangnan has almost mastered his craft, isn't it time to fulfill your promise to help Xiangnan open a restaurant?"

Shen Mingzhu has been so busy lately that she actually forgot about this matter.

"Let's wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival. During this period, the new factory is being renovated and we have to rush to produce mooncakes. I'm too busy to handle it."

"Okay, it's settled then."

As if she was afraid that she would go back on her word, Jia Yuemei hurriedly finalized the matter.

…

After Erya’s full moon banquet, the decoration of the new factory was officially completed.

Shen Mingzhu spent nearly half a month cleaning and ventilating the house and moved in on August 1st.

After the relocation, the rent of the old factory also expired.

The new factory is five times larger than the old one. It not only has office buildings, production workshops, warehouses, and raw material warehouses, but also a dormitory building that can accommodate hundreds of employees.

After the relocation, the number of employees in the factory increased from fifty to one hundred.

In order to facilitate management, Shen Mingzhu revised and improved the personnel management system, including but not limited to all aspects such as onboarding, assessment, rewards and punishments.

At the same time, a marketing department and a finance department were added.

The marketing department is further divided into four small departments, which are responsible for product research and development, sales, promotion, and distribution.

Shen Mingzhu had already chosen the person in charge of the distribution department - Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu not only has rich driving experience, but is also familiar with the road conditions in Fengcheng and surrounding towns.

However, the factory currently cannot afford to buy a car, so Shen Mingzhu can only provide Lao Zhu with two human-powered tricycles and recruit an apprentice for Lao Zhu. The master and apprentice are responsible for the distribution of goods within the city.

…

A few days after we moved to the new factory, it was Guoguo’s first birthday party.

Because she had just held Pei Ziheng's graduation banquet and Guoguo's first birthday banquet last month, Shen Mingzhu didn't plan to have a big party. She only invited close relatives and friends, a total of two tables of people, and set up the feast at home.

Although the scene was not grand, Shen Mingzhu prepared for the one-year-old birthday ceremony very carefully. She consulted many older people and made a detailed process plan.

The first step is the hand-washing ceremony. Prepare a basin of clean water and put apples, onions and rice in order. These three items represent peace, wisdom and wealth.

Then she used the water in the basin to wash her daughter's hands and face.

The next step is rolling. Peel the boiled eggs and roll them over my daughter's body, from head to toe and from front to back.

"Disasters roll away, disasters go away."

Following this are the crown and clothing, wearing gold, combing hair, sending blessings, grasping the week-old, printing feet, etc.

Everything else was fine, but the ceremony of grasping the first birthday was quite troublesome.

The items Shen Mingzhu prepared for her daughter's first birthday included writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstone, books, an abacus, a gourd, a spoon, onions, a longevity lock, a ruler and gold ingots, which she placed next to her daughter in that order.

The adults gathered around, talking to each other.

"Guoguo, take the gold ingot."

“Take the onion.”

"Take the abacus."

Not sure if it was because of the adults’ quarrel, Guoguo turned his head and looked around, then finally got up from the ground tremblingly and stumbled into his brother’s arms.

Pei Ziheng looked helpless on the surface, but inwardly he was very happy as he picked up his soft sister and carefully placed her back on the carpet for the one-year-old ceremony.

However, as soon as he let go, Guoguo opened his mouth and burst into tears.

In the end, there was no other choice but to let Pei Ziheng hold her while she did the "Zhuazhou" ceremony.

Guoguo was greedy and grabbed two things, a gold ingot in his left hand and a longevity lock in his right hand.

A life of wealth and longevity.

…

After the one-year-old ceremony, the adults drank tea and chatted downstairs, while the children, led by Pei Ziheng, played in the study upstairs.

The study is spacious and has a ceiling fan.

When the ceiling fan is turned on, the whole room is filled with cool breeze.

In front of the large desk, Zhao Yun was pulling Pei Ziheng to play the newly bought handheld game console. Chen Xiaochao leaned his head against Pei Ziheng's shoulder, watching with great interest.

For boys of this age, handheld game consoles are extremely attractive.

Although Pei Ziheng was playing video games, he did not forget his sister in his heart and would turn his head to look at her from time to time.

Guoguo, Chen Xiaolu and Liang Xiaowen were all sitting on mats, playing with colorful plastic snowflake building blocks.

Seeing that his sister was having fun, he lowered his eyes and continued to play the game console with relief.

"Wow--"

Suddenly, Guoguo's crying voice was heard.

Before Zhao Yun and Chen Xiaochao could react, Pei Ziheng had already thrown away the game console, stood up, walked quickly to his sister, bent down and picked her up.

With a quick glance, he noticed a noticeable red mark on his sister's left cheek.

He gently patted the person in his arms, then lowered his eyes and asked Chen Xiaolu and Liang Xiaowen who were sitting on the mat.

"What's going on?"

Chen Xiaolu glanced at Liang Xiaowen and said, "She pinched Guoguo's face."

Facing Pei Ziheng's dark eyes filled with coldness and anger, Liang Xiaowen defended herself guiltily: "It was Guoguo who knocked over all my building blocks first."

Zhao Yun also came over.

After hearing what Liang Xiaowen said, he pushed Liang Xiaowen directly and said, "Are you sick? Guoguo is just a little old, how dare you bully her!"

Liang Xiaowen did not sit steadily and her head hit the bookshelf behind her. She immediately stood up with red eyes and ran out of the study.

Pei Ziheng gently coaxed Guoguo who was sobbing in his arms.

The twins and Zhao Yun looked at each other.

Chen Xiaochao said to Zhao Yun, "You are done. She must have gone downstairs to complain."

"I'm afraid of her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Dafa's angry shout came from downstairs: "Zhao Yun, come down here!"

Under the sympathetic gaze of the twins, Zhao Yun went downstairs in a casual manner.

…

In the living room, Liang Xiaowen lay in Zhou Hui's arms and cried, while Zhao Dafa stood with his hands on his hips and glared at Zhao Yun who was hiding behind Shen Mingzhu.

"Brat, come here!"

"Just say what you want to say. I have very good ears and can hear you."

Zhao Dafa was so angry that his lungs hurt. "Why did you bully Xiaowen? How can you be a brother like this? You bully your sister all day long. Apologize to Xiaowen now!"

Zhao Yun snorted, "She was the one who bullied Guoguo first. She should apologize to Guoguo and Aunt Mingzhu first."

Hearing that her daughter was bullied, Shen Mingzhu subconsciously turned around and asked Zhao Yun, "What happened to Guoguo?"

"Xiao Wen pinched her face and she's crying upstairs now."

Zhao Dafa obviously didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret. After a moment of pause, he turned to look at his stepdaughter.

Liang Xiaowen huddled in Zhou Hui's arms with red eyes, "I didn't mean it. I just touched her lightly and she started crying."

Zhao Yun snorted coldly, "I just touched you, so why are you crying so sadly?" (End of this chapter)
