In the main room.
Ding Fu said to Jiang Wuli, "Jiu'er is usually quiet and looks listless, but when it comes to serious matters, she is really thoughtful. Our village has made her the village chief. It seems that Brother An is far-sighted."
Speaking of himself, An Yugui's face flushed and he smiled, "If we talk about vision, it's Zhu Yong. He was the first one to take the initiative to follow the village chief and even swore a solemn oath."
Zhu Yong, who was watching the show, chuckled when he heard this: "Then I will not be modest in agreeing."
Watching the old brothers chatting and laughing, Cao Ke was relieved: "If the village Kexin builds a workshop, then recruit workers in our village, what do you think, Brother Jiang?"
Jiang Wuli glanced at the four of them and pondered, "Logically, I agree, but this workshop is not mine. I still have to follow Xiaojiu's arrangements."
The four people stayed there in silence, not saying a word, but they all understood him. If he said everything, and Jiang Kexin found someone else to deal with him, his face would be completely lost.
Seeing their depressed mood, Jiang Yongwen said, "It's true that Kexin is my niece. If I were to open a workshop, I would definitely hire someone who is quiet, hardworking, and never complains. It's the same as spending money, so why would I hire someone who is cunning and always thinking about stealing? Don't you agree?"
An Yugui reacted very quickly and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, if it were my family, I would also find someone hardworking to do the work."
Jiang Yongwen said, "It's still too early to say these things now, especially since it's already late autumn and winter is coming soon. Even if we build a workshop, it will be after the New Year."
Having said that, everyone feels that it is a bit early, but it is only a matter of three or four months, so it is still beneficial to make plans early.
It was late at night and everyone was tired, so they all stood up and said goodbye.
Before leaving, Zhu Yong said to Jiang Wuli, "I don't care if others follow suit or not, my family will definitely follow suit."
"That's what Master Liu said. Our village grows as much as we want, and people harvest as much as we want. Don't even mention your family growing crops. Even if I have more land than what we have now, I can't wait to use the empty space in the yard to grow crops."
After Ding Fu finished speaking, the other two also expressed their desire to do so, as the more they planted, the more they would earn.
Jiang Wuli just smiled and said nothing. He didn't even know what the pepper seeds looked like. Now that this was being discussed... he couldn't get a word in. He would wait until Xiaojiu woke up tomorrow to ask.
At that time, Xiaojiu was in the space, holding a basket in one hand and picking eggs with the other. Tears were streaming down his face. He couldn't understand why the hen that had stopped laying eggs suddenly became lively again and started laying eggs again.
Didn't hens lay one egg a day in the past? Why are they laying two eggs a day now?
When I bought the chick, it was staggering when walking, but now it is running around with its wings flapping, and feathers have grown on its furry wings... Although not much, it is definitely growing visibly.
Dahong was still the same as before, with a group of hens following her...but this time they no longer pecked at her strawberry seedlings. Seeing the strawberries growing well, she finally smiled a little.
Ke Xin didn't even pick up the eggs in the distance, but weeded the strawberries, doing it happily. After finishing, she went to take a bath in the Lingquan Pool. After she felt comfortable, she left the space. However, she forgot to take the eggs out before leaving.
It was a dark and windy night, with a cold wind howling outside. The last leaf on the tree that stubbornly refused to fall finally couldn't withstand the wind and was blown down.
It was windy all night last night, and when I got up in the morning, the temperature had dropped significantly.
Just after breakfast, Aunt Huang came in with a smile. As soon as she entered the door, she began to congratulate Ge Shuzhen: "Congratulations, sister-in-law, the date for Jiang Xin's engagement has been calculated. There are two auspicious dates before the New Year."
When Ge Shuzhen saw the newcomer, she stepped forward to greet him with a smile on her face: "I was wondering why the magpie was cawing so loudly this morning. Turns out there's something good going on. Come in, sister."
The two of them entered the house one after the other. Ke Xin was considerate and immediately brought in two cups of hot milk with an egg and sugar in them. This was the perfect way to entertain the guests.
When Aunt Huang saw the eggs and milk, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She kept praising Ge Shuzhen: "Sister-in-law is really good at raising children. Look how clever these children are."
Ge Shuzhen glanced at the milk in front of her and thought to herself, how could she not be able to handle things? The whole family is counting on you for the engagement and wedding of the boys.
"Sister, please stop praising me. If you keep praising me, I'm afraid they won't be able to find their way home. Come on, tell me, what was that good day?"
Ge Shuzhen stared at Huang Lan's mouth with eager eyes. She had dreamed about her sons getting married last night, and now this boy's marriage has become a concern for her.
Huang Lan took out two pieces of paper, each with two dates written on it. She handed one over and said, "It's the fifth day of the eleventh month, less than a month from now."
"This is December 20th, a very auspicious day, suitable for getting engaged or married."
Ke Xin watched Huang Lan hand both pieces of paper to her mother. There was a lot of writing on them. She guessed that the paper not only had auspicious dates written on it, but also many other things.
Although Ge Shuzhen couldn't read, she still put the two pieces of paper away and decided immediately: "Since December 20th is a very auspicious day, let's get married on that day. Let's set the wedding date on November 5th. Although it's a bit hasty, the two children are old enough now."
Huang Lan had the same idea as this. She said bluntly, "We are marrying off our daughters, there is no such thing as that. Just the other day, the Xiao family at the head of the village married off their daughter, and she left without a word. The other party came in a donkey cart and took her away."
Ge Shuzhen had also heard about this matter, but marrying a daughter and marrying a wife are always different.
She said, "Sister, we don't get involved in other people's affairs. My family's situation is special, isn't it? You know Su Yan was sold to my family by her brother, and this child has a miserable life, without a father or a mother. My family can't treat her badly because of this."
"I'm thinking about finding a godfather and godmother for Su Yan. That way, when Su Yan gets married, she can go to her godfather's and godmother's home. This will also give the child a decent look. Besides, we won't let the child recognize her parents for nothing. We will prepare enough things and money at home, and we will go back to visit her during the holidays. Sister Huang, can you tell me who in our village is suitable?"
Huang Lan was shocked when she heard this and gave her a thumbs up: "Oh, you are really a good mother-in-law. You are looking for someone to rely on for Su Yan."
Ge Shuzhen smiled and nodded: "Who told me to like this child? If I don't find someone for the child to rely on, if he gets wronged by Jiang Xin, he won't have anyone to complain to. It's not easy for the child either."
Huang Lan nodded repeatedly, thinking about all the families in the village, and finally set her sights on Zhang Ju. She said, "Widow Zhang is a good person. She has a hard life, but she has raised her grandson alone for many years and has never caused any bad reputation. First of all, her character is impeccable."
