The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

“Once you try it, you will never forget the taste and will come back to eat it next time.”

Su Wanwan was sure that if she liked hot and sour noodles, she would crave them if she didn't eat them for a few days, but if she didn't like them, she would just eat a bowl of them occasionally to try them.

Just like her, she also likes that taste.

"I asked Lin Yi to go to the warehouse. By the way, I heard from Aunt Feng that Lin Yi went to her to propose marriage. He wants to marry Feng Xiaorou."

Su Wanwan seldom goes to the workshop now, so naturally she doesn't know about these things. Shen Yuan will tell her some things about the workshop when he comes back.

"That's great. I always thought they would get together."

She also likes Feng Xiaorou, a bold and outspoken girl. Now she works in the General Office with Li Yulin. She is also very good at dealing with people and is a good match for Lin Yi.

Shen Yuan smiled and continued:

"At first, my aunt didn't agree. Maybe she was thinking of Zhao Yuanyuan. After all, Lin Yi liked Zhao Yuanyuan before. But Miss Feng is also very capable. She convinced her mother directly. This marriage should be settled."

Shen Yuan actually hates these gossips the most, but since his wife likes them, he is happy to tell her about them.

Sure enough, the wife was also very happy to hear this. Lovers finally get married. Both of them are good and it is a good thing that they can be together.

"I feel like there will be a lot of happy events in our village next spring. I've seen matchmakers walking around the village a while ago, going to one family or another."

Su Wanwan thought about it and realized that she had seen him several times.

Shen Yuan walked up to her and took her hand. Seeing the two children making a snowman, they went to help.

"Life in our village has improved and we are all wealthy, so naturally there are many matchmakers. Girls from all over the country want to marry boys from our village. Who from outside doesn't want to marry a girl from our village?"

Su Wanwan:......

That's right. It seems that a lot of people got married in the village a while ago. She has attended three wedding banquets this month alone.

The family of four built a snowman in a short while. Xiao Yueer took a carrot as a nose and put a hat on it.

"Mom, it's so beautiful."

The two children were circling around the snowman. After a while, the sound of a carriage was heard outside the door.

"It was snowing, and my godmother sent someone to pick up the child?"

Su Wanwan thought that since it was snowing so heavily today, no one would come.

Shen Yuan had already reached the door and saw that it was not the carriage from his mother-in-law's side.

Zhao Tianshi jumped down from above, and then another old man was helped down by him.

Shen Yuan took one look and immediately went to meet him.

"Uncle Zhao, why are you here?"

In the past, when Zhao Tianshi came here, he never brought Uncle Zhao with him, and Uncle Zhao had only been to the house once. This time he came in person, so there must be something going on.

The father and son unloaded all the gifts from the car.

"I really have something to do this time."

Uncle Zhao was in high spirits, but Zhao Tianshi was quite reserved, which was not in line with his usual style.

The couple immediately accepted the gifts and hurried into the house as the snow outside was getting thicker.

The two children were still playing in the snow. They said hello and continued to make snowmen.

After entering the house and drinking a cup of hot tea, Uncle Zhao spoke and glanced at Zhao Tianshi.

Su Wanwan felt more and more that something was wrong. Zhao Tianshi was unusually silent today.

In the past, she would come over and call me sister-in-law all the time, and she was very talkative.

"First, give last month's money to your brother Yuan and the others."

Uncle Zhao glanced at him sideways. This boy was so useless. However, there were some things that he, as an elder, should step in to handle.

Only then did Zhao Tianshi hand over the silver note.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Yuan, this is last month's dividend. I also brought the account book."

After saying that, he put the account book in his hand on the table.

Su Wanwan seldom looked at the account books here. She trusted Zhao Tianshi's character, but she still flipped through them twice.

The sales last month were pretty good. As soon as the toilet was launched, many wealthy families rushed to order it for custom orders.

And the pipes are also selling very well. Every household wants to lay pipes at home to drain water outside to make their home look clean.

"By the way, the government has also ordered a batch of pipes. They said they will use some for road construction and drainage systems, so sales this month are expected to be better."

Speaking of this, Zhao Tianshi was also very excited.

He had never thought about doing business with the government before.

Although the price has been reduced a lot, the quantity is large.

Su Wanwan thought about the drainage system she had mentioned to County Magistrate Xu, and she didn't expect that Magistrate Xu really took it seriously.

The corvées have already started work and all obstacles on both sides of the road have been cleared.

Speaking of this, the villagers who were doing corvée labor in the village were able to do their labor service in such a close place. They knew that the county magistrate had made such an arrangement out of Shen Yuan's consideration, and they were all very grateful to them.

At the beginning, County Magistrate Xu did not allow them to donate money and asked them to be responsible for the meals. Su Wanwan specially recruited a few more aunts to prepare meals in the canteen and deliver them over, and the meals were not bad.

Serving corvée near home, with good food and the opportunity to go home occasionally, is much better than repairing a dam.

I heard that those who went to build the dam were far away from home, had poor accommodation and food, and many of them fell ill when the weather got cold.

Compared to them, the men in the village really felt much happier. This year's corvée labor was not hard at all, and the food they ate was better than what they had at home. They all gained weight. This was the first time they had encountered such a thing.

Some villagers who paid the head tax but did not perform labor service regretted their decision. If they had known the food was good, they would not have paid the head tax and would have just built an official road near their own village.

Su Wanwan closed the account book.

"It's all because of your good quality. I heard that another kiln shop has also started making pipes?"

In business, competition is normal, and it is even more normal for these things to be imitated.

For example, there are already too many imitators of Liu’s cabinets, but Liu’s cabinets have good quality and are well-known, so the impact is not that big.

"Don't worry, we have the technology. Their pipes will leak after a long time. They are not as good as ours. Even though they are cheaper than ours, I am not worried."

"We control the quality ourselves, just like Uncle Liu's cabinets, so we are not afraid of them."

Zhao Tianshi is also very business-minded. His family has inherited the kiln-making craft from ancestors, so he is very confident about the quality of his products.

Su Wanwan felt relieved and handed over the account book.

"Okay, as long as you have a plan in mind."

Zhao Tianshi chuckled twice, took the account book, and looked at his father again.

Uncle Zhao cleared his throat, smiled, and said to Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan:

"Actually, I came here this time for one more thing, and I want to ask you two for help."

Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan couldn't imagine what would happen to him, so they just looked at Uncle Zhao and waited for him to continue.

"My son has fallen in love with your uncle's daughter, but he is too embarrassed to say it himself, so I came here to flatter him. I would like you to test the girl's opinion first. If she agrees, I will send a matchmaker immediately..."

Uncle Zhao was actually happy in his heart. His son was already grown up and finally had a girl he liked. He couldn't help but worry about it.
