Chapter 186 When will I hold my grandson?
“You kid!
You are not my niece now, you are a great benefactor in our village!"
When the head of the village heard that the wages Ye Xinran paid were higher than those for carrying heavy loads outside, he was happy but also felt sorry for Ye Xinran.
"You have to be frugal. Although the county magistrate rewarded your family with 100 taels of silver last time, you have to live a steady life and not spend all your money all at once. Don't you agree?"
"I know this." Ye Xinran said,
“I am not building a house blindly, I built this workshop to make money.
When the workshop is open, I will need everyone to come over to help me."
"Well, as long as you make money, everyone in our village will benefit from it.
Just go ahead and do it with confidence. Leave the small matter of finding someone to do the work to me.
Your uncle Li Zheng has been in the village for so many years, I know all of them well, just tell me what kind of person you want, and I will take care of the rest!"
The fact that the village chief was responsible for so many things was exactly what Ye Xinran wanted. She quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Village Chief!"
As the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise. When it comes to hiring people to do the work, the village head has indeed helped me a lot.
Fortunately, the village head is such a person. If we were in Donggou Village and met a village head like Zhao Fusheng, it would probably not be so smooth to do these things.
Now that everything was finalized, Ye Xinran returned home and started drawing the blueprints for the workshop.
One of her workshops is used to process medicinal materials, and the other is mainly used to produce facial soap.
Ye Xinran has studied it carefully. The machines in the laboratory are mainly used to produce Snow Face Cream. As far as she knows, facial soap has the simplest process and is easiest to operate.
With the foundation of Snow Face Cream, her facial soap can also be made more refined and sold at a higher price.
Ye Xinran's painting skills haven't improved much at the moment.
She roughly drew out the scope and marked it. As for the rest, she would wait for Lu Changqing to come back and help her complete it.
Seeing that Ye Xinran was busy, Xiao Huaian went to the kitchen quietly to prepare meals.
Leng Qingyu was very pleased to see this.
"Huaian, do you want me to help you? The taste of my food is average, but I know how to cook."
Xiao Huaian was washing the rice and putting it into the pot. He followed the method Ye Xinran taught him and measured the height of the rice and water very carefully.
After measuring, he stood up and replied: "Mrs. Lu, the taste of my cooking is also average, but Xinran once taught me two dishes, so I can cook it well."
"Really? Xinran taught you? Then teach it to me again!"
Leng Qingyu would feel guilty when facing Ye Xinran, but he was much more at ease in front of Xiao Huaian.
Some requests can also be made, "Also, Huai'an, although Xinran calls me Madam Lu, you also know that she is my precious daughter.
You are my son-in-law.
You two always call each other Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu, which sounds very strange to me.
Besides, I get a headache when I hear the word "Lu" now, how about you call me mom?"
"This……"
Xiao Huaian has never encountered such a problem.
Xinran didn't call her mother, she must have her own considerations.
But the person opposite is indeed his mother-in-law.
If he refused, would his mother-in-law hold a grudge against him?
If he shouted, would Xinran be unhappy?
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Huaian still shouted firmly: "Mom!"
"Hey!"
Leng Qingyu was delighted and immediately agreed: "Good boy! Your calling me mother really touched my heart! If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me!"
"That's what I should call you." Xiao Huaian blushed rarely.
Now that the deadlock has been broken, Leng Qingyu began to care about the problems at Xiao Huaian's family.
"I've never heard Xinran mention this before. Where is your hometown? Who else is in your family? How many brothers and sisters do you have?"
Leng Qingyu once inquired indirectly and only knew that Xiao Huaian was exiled here, and knew no other details.
"My hometown is in Mobei."
Xiao Huaian told the truth.
“That’s so far!”
Leng Qingyu exclaimed.
"There's no one home anymore!"
Xiao Huaian couldn't hide the loneliness on his face.
"It's just me and my eldest brother's kids!"
Leng Qingyu was a little panicked.
She thought Xiao Huaian was exiled here and was just separated from his family. Unexpectedly, all his family members were gone.
"excuse me, I……"
She didn't know how to comfort her son-in-law.
At this awkward moment, the two little kids just came back from school.
"Grandma, Uncle, we are back!"
The two children called for help as soon as they entered the door, then ran to the study, put down the book box, and went to the backyard to feed the chickens, ducks and geese.
Leng Qingyu felt indescribable emotions when she saw how sensible the child was.
They are all children with miserable lives, so you must love their whole family well in the future!
When Lu Changqing came back, it was already dark.
Xiao Huaian had already prepared the meal.
Everyone sat together and ate, and none of the dishes were made by Leng Qingyu.
After dinner, Ye Xinran called him into the room to draw blueprints.
The two younger ones cleaned up the dishes, then went to the backyard with stern faces to squat.
Leng Qingyu was used to taking a walk in the yard after dinner.
This was the first time she saw the two little guys coming over to do horse stance after dinner, so she quickly asked, "It's so late, why don't you go to study?"
Changan felt wronged, but still answered seriously: "Second uncle punished us to do horse stance, we have to finish the horse stance before we can go back to school!"
"What have you done wrong? I see you guys are doing fine since you came in."
Leng Qingyu was puzzled.
Changping explained: "Grandma, we didn't make the mistake at night, we made the mistake in the morning.
We got up late in the morning, and our second uncle had finished washing our pants before we got up, so he punished us."
"We didn't get up late!"
Chang'an still felt unconvinced.
"It's all because of my second uncle who got up too early. He still refuses to admit it."
Chang'an was young after all, and after standing for a while, his body was shaking.
Seeing this, Changping took half a step back and put his legs behind Chang'an's legs to help him steady himself.
Chang'an felt a lot more relaxed. He turned his head and smiled at Changping.
Changping also smiled at Changan.
"Don't worry, no matter what time, your second brother will always be behind you to protect you!" Changping said.
"Ok!"
Chang'an's face flushed, but he still tried to do the horse stance as standard as possible, "After we finish the horse stance, let's go to the study room to memorize the lessons!"
"it is good!"
Although Changping didn't like studying, he nodded and agreed.
What a wonderful child!
I wish this was my own grandson.
Leng Qingyu watched with a loving face, and she suddenly thought: Yes, Xinran and Huaian have been married for so long, why is there no movement at all?
I wish they could give me a grandchild someday!
