Chapter 402: I bought the yard with my own money and lived comfortably
"Manager Hua, thank you so much. Because of you, this time our family spent the least money and bought the best house, shop and farm. Thank you so much."
Li Lanzhen picked up the tea bowl and sincerely offered a bowl of tea to Manager Hua.
Shopkeeper Hua laughed and picked up the wine glass on the table.
“Mrs. Li, you don’t have to be polite. These are just easy things to do.
Compared to what you did to Xuan Shen Su Chen, my little thing is not worth mentioning."
After running around for a few days, the dust finally settled today. When Li Lanzhen came back in the afternoon, she asked the kitchen to prepare more dishes.
Have a good dinner to make up for it and replenish your body.
After dinner, the dishes were cleared away and the children went back to their own rooms to study.
The only people left in the main room were the shopkeeper Li Lanzhenhua and the two brothers Han Minghai and Han Mingxiang. Han Shulan went to bed holding the sleepy Xiaobao.
Shopkeeper Hua was about to get up and say goodbye, but Li Lanzhen asked him to stay.
"Manager Hua, please stay. Although we are going to discuss the management of our shop and farm in the capital, you are the most experienced in this area.
We still want to hear your suggestions.”
Shopkeeper Hua was very happy that Li Lanzhen valued him and didn't take advantage of him. He sat down and drank tea.
He just sat there quietly, and would only offer his advice if they needed to ask him.
Li Lanzhen has been thinking about these things these days.
There are two shops, one of which should be registered under Han Mingjiang's name.
For the other one, she wanted to register it under Han Minghai's name.
The last time, the shop was given to Han Yinan. He is the eldest son and grandson, so there is nothing wrong in giving it to him.
My grandchildren are still young and there is still a long way to go. I will buy them slowly in the future.
Of the two manors, the larger one was under Han Minghai's name.
But someone has to be transferred from Peach Blossom Spring to manage it. She already has a candidate in mind and will tell everyone about it later.
Just register that small farm under your own name, and all the income will belong to your family.
This dynasty still attached great importance to the eldest son and grandson.
So it makes sense to give Han Minghai more industries.
Besides, she also understood that his three sons and one daughter, including his daughter-in-law and son-in-law, were all good kids.
When it comes to interests, we never reach out to grab them, but rather push them to other brothers and sisters.
Letting Han Minghai manage these things is also to establish him as the eldest son. This family must accumulate more wealth.
No matter where you are, you can't get by without money.
The family was financially strong, which was also a help for Han Mingxiang to be an official in the court.
Li Lanzhen took a few sips of tea, glanced at her two sons, then looked at Shopkeeper Hua who was sitting next to her with his eyes closed, and raised the corners of her lips.
"This is what I think. That big house with three entrances is our home in the capital.
From now on, when my mother comes to the capital, she will live in that house.
Han Minghai slowly cleaned up the house, and Han Mingxiang assisted your brother.
If you have any questions, please ask Manager Hua. If Manager Hua is not in the capital, please go and ask your Uncle Xue.
That house is our home. Our three sons and one daughter each have a small yard to live in.
You arrange everything for him."
Han Minghai quickly nodded in agreement.
"Okay mom, I'll clean it up as soon as possible."
He turned to Han Mingxiang and said, "Third brother, after the courtyards of each family are arranged, you should give each courtyard a name and write a sign to hang up.
This way we know whose house is where, and I'll try to be pretentious for a while, hahaha."
Han Mingxiang nodded and said, "Okay, brother, let's watch it together."
Li Lanzhen took a sip of tea and continued.
“There are two shops, one under Han Mingjiang’s name and the other under my name.
There are two manors, so the big manor should be registered under Han Minghai's name."
"Ah? Mom, this won't do. Just put it all in your name.
This is all my mother's, the fortune she earned." Han Minghai shouted anxiously.
Han Mingxiang lowered her head to think about it, then looked up to persuade him.
"Brother, just listen to me. I've been very thoughtful. If I say it's in your name, then it's in your name. You're our eldest brother!"
Han Minghai lowered his head so that no one could see his red eyes.
Li Lanzhen looked at the two of them with comfort in her heart.
“That large estate is in your name, but I’m afraid you don’t have the time to take care of it.
I want to ask Han Zhaoxiong to come when I get back.
Let him live in that manor and manage it.
As for the farm workers needed in the farm, you need to buy someone and when he comes, you two can do it together.
You two, do you think this arrangement is feasible?"
Han Minghai smiled happily, "Okay, mother, I agree to let Zhaoxiong come.
After Zhaoxiong arrived, we discussed and decided to do it.”
Han Mingxiang also nodded.
"Okay, mother, I'll follow your arrangement."
As he spoke, he glanced outside the main room door and raised the corners of his lips.
If my wife Han Shulan knew this news, she would probably laugh with joy.
They are just two siblings. From childhood to adulthood, Han Zhaoxiong has protected his sister like a treasure.
When he was in Hanjia Village, if anyone said something bad about his sister, he would pick up his fist and beat that person up.
Even after growing up and getting married, he still protects his sister.
I believe Han Zhaoxiong will be very happy when he knows the news.
Li Lanzhen actually had selfish motives behind this arrangement.
She always thought that it was not easy for Han Mingxiang, a child from a poor family, to become an official in the court!
It would be even better if his father-in-law's family could rise up and help him.
“That small estate is also in my name and is owned by our big family.
Han Minghai, it's the same there. You have to take care of it and plant the greenhouse vegetables as soon as possible.
A winter is also an income.”
Shopkeeper Hua, who had been listening with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
Haha, he said to Han Minghai with a smile.
"Minghai, take all the vegetables grown in Wenquan Manor to Sifang Restaurant.
The price can be twice that of Youzhou City."
Li Lanzhen was thinking about this old fox in her mind. She had closed her eyes just now, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.
Now, when I hear that vegetables are available in winter, I immediately open my eyes and start grabbing them.
In fact, she also knew that this was what Manager Hua knew. She had two other farms and would definitely grow vegetables in winter.
Sifang Restaurant is also a leading restaurant in the capital.
He also concluded that other farms would also build greenhouses to grow vegetables in the winter.
He seized this opportunity first, made some money, and made other restaurants jealous.
Later on, the vegetables produced by Li Lanzhen’s other farms would no longer have to worry about sales.
"Han Minghai, you need to write a simple plan for mother on how to run the two farms and two shops we bought in the capital this time.
"Okay mom, I'll give it to you as soon as possible."
After saying that, he quickly moved closer to Han Mingxiang to try to please him.
"Brother, will you help me later?"
Han Mingxiang punched him and nodded with a smile.
Li Lanzhen looked at him like a lackey and couldn't bear to see him. She asked him to practice calligraphy well, but he refused.
"Boss, I have handed over the farm and the grain shop in front to your uncle Xue to manage, so you don't need to ask about it anymore.
You are not allowed to sell the grain produced by the farm under your management to other places. All of it must be handed over to your Uncle Xue to be sold in our grain shop.
As for how the two of you are going to settle the bill, you two can discuss it.”
Li Lanzhen's family was discussing the shop, house and farm they had acquired this time.
The same is true at Xue Laohu's home.
Xue Bao also robbed a shop with the help of his colleagues.
Xue Lao Hu bought a house with two courtyards.
The family of four was also having dinner, and the father and son were both drinking. Xue Lao Hu took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, squinted his eyes, touched his chin, glanced at his son Xue Bao, and said proudly.
"Haha, now your dad has his own home too."
Xue Bao put down the wine glass he was holding, looked at his father, and said unhappily.
"Dad, what are you talking about? This is your home!"
Xue Lao Hu waved his hands and said, "Leopard, you don't understand. This courtyard of yours was awarded by the emperor, but we still need to have our own home.
I bought it with my own money, so I can live in it comfortably and sleep peacefully. "
Xue Bao did not answer again, he thought the same thing in his heart.
He had long noticed that his parents always seemed uncomfortable and uneasy living here.
He originally thought that after working for two years he would buy a yard for his parents to live in.
Now, as long as his parents are happy, he is happy.
