Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

After the village chief left, Old Man Wen asked Wen Yao: "Have you thought about what kind of factory you want to build and how big it will be."

Wen Yao stood up directly: "I've thought about it, the drawings are done. Master, please wait a moment, I will go home and get them for you."

Wen Yao ran out in a hurry, ran back to his home, took the drawing, ran back again, and gave it to Old Man Wen.

Old Man Wen opened it. Compared with the previous pictures, he could finally understand what Wen Yao had drawn this time.

Putting the drawings away, Old Man Wen stretched out his hand.

Wen Yao was stunned: "Didn't I give you the drawings?"

Old Man Wen's open palms shook: "Money, isn't it free to hire people to buy materials?"

Wen Yao smiled awkwardly: "Oh oh oh, I forgot, I forgot." Then he took out a 100-tael silver note and handed it to Old Man Wen, and asked: "Master, have you seen enough?"

Old Man Wen took the banknote and didn't say that he would have to worry about building the house. He could keep an eye on the supervisor and arrange people, but he couldn't pay for the girl.

Not only that, every tael of money spent on this house must be remembered and accounted for. This is business, and every dollar counts.

What's more, he has no money.

In this family, he is the poorest.

The old man felt terrible when he thought of this.

Despite this, Old Man Wen still had no intention of touching his granddaughter's money. In the evening, the family members dispersed. Old Man Wen stayed in his and Luo Shi's room before he took out a small notebook, picked up the pen next to him and put it on his tongue. I licked it and wrote a few words in a small notebook.

Luo Shi poked his head and glanced at his dog-like handwriting, and tsked with disgust: "If Big Tou and the others see your handwriting, they will laugh to death."

Old Man Wen was startled by her, and the pen in his hand almost caused the notebook to become blurred.

"You old woman, you can't make a sound when you walk." Old Man Wen muttered, "Besides, my word is as ugly as possible. It's not for others to see. I keep accounts myself."

Luo Shi smiled: "Yes, yes, your account book, only you can understand it. If you ask me, Datou and the others are teaching the children in the village to read and write. I went to see them in the evening. Several children The teachings are very impressive, and there are many adults secretly hiding outside the windows to learn from you. You are the first to get the best, so let them teach you more."

Old Man Wen's face turned red and he said angrily: "What am I going to do? I'm already so old." As for accounting, he secretly asked his son to teach him and learned it on his own.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if my grandchildren knew that I secretly learned to write even at my old age?

Luo Shi saw that he was so concerned about face and didn't bother to pay attention to him. After finishing packing, he took off his coat and climbed into bed.

The roast duck restaurant in the capital was doing so well that every two months Li Yi would send someone to take away a large amount of miso. She had to work harder. She felt that the soybeans were not enough, so she had to go outside to collect some. Received.

Thinking of these, Luo Shi slowly fell asleep.

By the time Old Man Wen finished packing up himself and his account books and walked to the bedside, Luo Shi had already fallen asleep.

Seeing that the boss was so tired that he fell asleep on the bed, Old Man Wen silently pulled up the quilt and covered her, and muttered in a low voice: "You are already a very old person, and half of your legs are in the coffin. How can you still do this?" No matter what you do, don’t worry about tiring yourself.”

The only person who responded to him was Luo Shi, who turned over slightly and muttered something unknown. Old Man Wen didn't hear clearly either.

Old Man Wen smiled helplessly, blew out the candles and lay down outside, thinking about how to build the house, and slowly fell asleep.

As a result, when I woke up the next day, I found that many people were already waiting in front of my house.

They didn't knock or go in, they just stood guard at the door. If Aunt Gui hadn't opened the door and went to the workshop, she wouldn't have known that so many people had come.

Old Man Wen and Luo Shi came out of the house and understood when they saw so many people.

Luo Shi dusted off his clothes, said "You can take care of it yourself" and took Aunt Gui to the workshop.

As for building a house, she believed that the old man knew what he was doing.

Old Man Wen was used to this kind of scene, so he didn't say much. He just named a few people who had built houses for his family before and asked them to take them to the next village to find a brick factory that burned bricks, and ordered green bricks first. , the remaining people, Old Man Wen asked them to start pounding the soil according to the previous arrangement.

After a while of arranging it, everyone became familiar with it and work started soon.

This down factory is different from other factories. The house must be sturdy and spacious, and there shouldn't be too many windows. The main thing is that there shouldn't be strong winds in the house, otherwise the duck down will be fluffy and blown everywhere by the wind.

Old Man Wen now knows how much Qiu Rongrong sells this down jacket. Apart from anything else, this girl is a real thief in business. A down jacket sells for 18 taels of silver, so she is the only one who dares to charge this price. .

So those duck downs are all money. It would be a pity for an old man to lose a piece of duck down.

Seeing that this year is not over yet, everyone in the Wen family has fallen into a new round of busyness.

It wasn't until the day before the Lantern Festival when Qiu Zhi asked them if they wanted to go to the city to watch the lantern festival that everyone realized that the year was almost over before they knew it.

Several children cheered when they heard that they were going to watch the lantern festival.

Luo Shi looked at them one by one and couldn't help but remind them: "The lantern festival is in the evening. If you don't have classes for everyone tomorrow evening, remember to let us know in advance."

"Okay, baby, I'll inform them now." After Wen Fa finished speaking, he ran away. He didn't need to inform everyone, he just needed to inform Li Erhu. With his loud voice, he would definitely have the whole village shouting. Got it all.

The result is that the whole village knows that they plan to go to the city to watch the lantern festival tomorrow. Together, each family wants to have a good year. Their lives will definitely not be bad this year, so they all want to bring them with them. It's better to take the children at home and go to the city to have some fun.

On the evening of the [-]th day of the month, when it was getting dark and I was getting ready to set out, I discovered that most of the people in a village were wearing brand new clothes and were getting ready to go out.

We met each other on the road, and when we saw each other's clothes, we suddenly understood each other, and then we laughed loudly. You invited me and I invited you, and we walked out of the village together, talking and laughing.

Because the Wen family went into the city early and waited at Zuixian Tower, they didn't meet the large army, but they still met the villagers while visiting the lantern festival, and then they realized that most of the people in the village had come out.

Knowing that everyone had made an appointment to return to the village together, Luo Shi also said that they would go together then. They had a carriage at home, and if there were any elderly people who could not walk, they could give him a ride.

This year's lantern festival seems to have more people than in previous years. The streets are bustling with people and laughter everywhere. You can even occasionally hear a few passers-by talking about the production team. They are also happy that the Yamen will distribute new grains to them this year. with expectations for a better life in the future.

It was in such a lively atmosphere that Wen Yao lay next to the window of Zuixian Tower, looking at the lively streets and bustling crowds below. He looked up at the sky. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd on the street downstairs shouted: "It's snowing."

Only then did Wen Yao realize that snowflakes had begun to fall in the dark sky at some point.

Wen Yao stretched out her hand, and a snowflake fell on her warm palm, instantly turning into a puddle of snow.

Although it has been cold this year, it has not snowed. It has rained a few times, and then it will get even colder.

But it didn't snow until the Chinese New Year. She thought it wouldn't snow, but it turned out that it was postponed.

It's just that snowing at this time is not a good thing.
