"Woof woof woof~"
The lady of the house is back, and Xiaobai is the happiest of all.
Since its nemesis is gone, there are only a few scruffy little ducks in the front yard. It can easily pounce on them, and they squeal in pain. It's not fun at all.
It's starting to miss its arch-enemy a bit.
"Woof woof woof~"
Jiang Yue got off the carriage, but Xiao Bai was holding her skirt in its mouth, as if it wanted to take her somewhere.
Qingshan brought Aunt Ge and the others over to help move things and carried Yaoyao back to the house.
With nothing for her to worry about, she simply followed along as Xiaobai dragged her along...
Um, goose shed.
"Woof woof woof~"
Little White stuck out its tongue and plucked a goose feather with its left paw.
After seeing Xiaobai's action, Jiang Yue speculated:
"Would you like to raise a few more geese at home?"
"Woof woof woof~"
Xiao Bai nodded, "Yes, a goose."
You can play with it, and eat it when it grows up.
Jiang Yue wondered if she had been too hasty in preparing the stewed goose.
Could it be that Xiaobai has fallen in love with a goose, even though it's a different species?
But she remembered how happy Xiaobai was eating goose meat that day!
"Woof woof woof~"
Little White barked again. The lady of the house should have understood what it wanted, right?
In fact, Jiang Yue decided to nip Xiaobai's peculiar "hobby" in the bud, because there is no future for geese and dogs!
She should catch another puppy and take it home; this time it will definitely be pure white!
Jiang Yue squatted down and rubbed the dog's head, comforting it:
Don't worry, you'll have friends soon!
"Waaaaah~"
Little White's eyes lit up; the lady of the house understood.
This time he's determined to teach the new goose a lesson and show it who's the boss!
"Gagaga~"
Several ducks were shivering, whether from the cold or from the white duck's glare, it was hard to tell.
When the master returned, Aunt Ge brewed ginger soup and boiled water, instructing the Ye sisters to serve the ginger soup to the master and the second young master.
After drinking ginger soup, your stomach will feel warm and comfortable, which can help prevent colds.
After taking a short nap in her room, Jiang Yue woke up again feeling refreshed and comfortable.
After changing into a thick cotton coat and cloak, she went to the south wing to find her beloved granddaughter.
Having not seen her for a few days, Little Wonton was startled when she saw her, then stared at her for a long while before pouting, opening her arms wide, and crying, begging for a hug.
"Awooo~"
"Don't cry, don't cry, Grandma's back! From now on, Grandma will take Little Wonton with her wherever she goes~"
Seeing her granddaughter's pitiful look, Jiang Yue's heart softened. She took her granddaughter from her daughter-in-law's arms and quickly comforted her.
"Mom, you're finally back! You have no idea how much the little guy keeps looking in the direction of your room, and he's been listless all day."
Seeing his daughter like this, Qingshan felt both heartache and amusement. Heaven knows that he and his wife had been tormented by their daughter's crying in the middle of the night for the past few days.
Only when you raise children do you realize the kindness of your parents.
After becoming a father, he reflected more and more on his past immature behavior. He felt for his mother's hard work...
"Then let the little one stay in my room tonight, so you two can get a good night's sleep."
Jiang Yue suggested that she truly loved her granddaughter, and if the child got hungry, she would ask her daughter-in-law to breastfeed her.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Mom~"
Da Xue readily agreed, her face visibly tired, suggesting she hadn't slept well for the past few days.
"Where's Qingyun? Why hasn't he come out?"
After playing with her granddaughter for a while, Jiang Yue remembered her youngest son and casually asked him a question.
"My third brother and Changjun were picked up by a carriage arranged by Young Master Liu and taken to the county early this morning. They said they would be back later. I figured it was a classmate who wanted to invite them, so I didn't refuse."
Qingshan replied that the person sent by Young Master Liu had delivered New Year's gifts. He thought that this person was someone he could befriend, so he took it upon himself to pack up a few bars of soap that his mother had made and instructed his third brother to deliver them to the other party as a return gift.
"Soap? I almost forgot about it. The soap is already formed, isn't it?"
Jiang Yue was not angry about this; she hadn't kept the soap a secret from her family when she first started developing it.
I've mentioned it a few times before; once they're dried, I'll give some to relatives and friends as return gifts.
Qingshan's actions are understandable.
Who knows, by sheer chance, it might actually be able to lend her a helping hand.
"Aunt Ge helped check it out; it's set, and it smells really good!"
Qingshan nodded. The color was pink and pretty, but it was inconvenient for a grown man like him to carry it around. So he used it to wash his hands in private, and it worked really well.
"Silly girl, I helped Aunt Ge and the others make several different scents. What you've got is a bath soap, which is perfect for women to use for cleansing their face and body."
Jiang Yue glared at her son reproachfully. Could it be that all the gifts she received were soaps?
"Oh? I picked up several bars of soap."
Qingshan was embarrassed. He pretended to know what he was talking about and asked Qingyun to tell Young Master Liu that this item was for washing clothes...
What a waste of talent!
Seeing her son's remorseful expression, Jiang Yue didn't pursue the matter further and casually said:
"It's alright, it has many uses, it won't cause any trouble."
Da Xue yawned, covered her mouth to relieve the yawn for a moment, then remembered something else and quickly said:
"By the way, Mom, Grandpa Village Chief came by once, saying he wanted to discuss the soap factory with you."
"It seems a deal has been reached with the village head of Zhangjiawan. The soap factory will be built in Zhangjiawan, and workers will be selected primarily from the villagers of Zhangjiawan..."
Jiang Yue made no attempt to hide anything, and while cuddling and coaxing her granddaughter, she explained her plan in detail.
Qingshan didn't object. This was his mother's business, and as long as his mother was happy, he didn't care what she did.
Daxue is a daughter-in-law. Without her mother-in-law's help, she doesn't know what her family would be like.
As a daughter-in-law, her job is to be a good wife and mother-in-law in her husband's family, and she would never interfere in her mother-in-law's affairs.
Little Wonton, who didn't understand anything, stopped crying and fussing after smelling the familiar scent on her mother's body, and quietly nestled in her mother's arms.
Qingsong knocked on the door and entered when the conversation was halfway through. He was partly missing his little niece, and partly because he had heard his mother talking about soap and was interested, so he came in to listen.
After hearing the remaining half, he could roughly guess the first half as well.
"Mother, once the soap factory is set up, I want to get my supplies from you. I want to open a soap shop in Jinling, and I'm sure the business will be booming."
See? Qingsong's brain has really improved.
Sensing a business opportunity, they made a shrewd decision.
"Even close brothers keep clear accounts, and so do mothers and sons, haha. But I'm only selling you soap, not taking any profit from you. That doesn't fit with the family rules, understand?"
"I understand~ Mother just loves her son and doesn't want to accept money from him as filial piety~"
"Save some money, don't just keep opening shops. You can't earn all the money in the world, and a person's energy is limited. Save more money so you can live a good life with Fangfang in the future."
"Okay, Mom~"
