I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

She smiled and pushed He Ye away and said, "If Fu Jichang has something to do, you will definitely not stand idly by. Go and do your work. I have nothing to do here. I will follow my sister's instructions and deal with the matters in the shop first."

He Ye took out a dagger from his pocket and handed it to Jiaojiao, saying, "Please keep this on you!"

Jiaojiao took the dagger and watched He Ye walk out the door.

Jiaojiao took off the knife she carried with her and put the dagger with He Ye's body temperature on her body.

Ji Xiaobei is already in the textile workshop.

More than a hundred people, young and old, men and women, gathered in the yard.

Ji Xiaobei's speech:

"The New Year is coming soon, and the weather is getting cold. We will continue training from today. Uncle Laohei, you and Uncle Shugen, clean up the unused yard behind us. We will form a male and female team. Zhang Yiyuan will lead the men's team, and Danfeng will lead the women's team..."

At this time, a fifty-year-old lady asked, "Girl, do you want to practice too?"

The textile workshop hired some old ladies from nearby villages who were good at spinning.

There are people in their forties and fifties.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "Auntie, you can do some simple exercises to strengthen your body and avoid getting sick in winter! Danfeng will arrange some simple exercises for you."

Danfeng puffed out her chest and nodded.

Over there, Zhang Yiyuan was also standing there with a proud and confident look.

"Women from Jijiawan must practice. They cannot ask for leave without special circumstances. They must practice for one hour in the morning and another hour after work. Dongniu's wife will record the work..."

Dongniu's wife agreed loudly.

Ji Xiaobei looked at the women standing upright in Jijiawan and continued, "There are more and more refugees recently. I will move my workshop here. Then we will only need one patrol team."

Shi Tou and Liang Yuyao nodded.

Ji Xiaobei had already told them both when he came.

Now they are managers of two workshops.

After arranging the patrol team, Liang Yuyao talked about the work arrangements, and the group dispersed.

"Donniu, Dongniu's wife, Uncle Shugen, Uncle Laohei, Grandpa Niwankeng, Zhang Yiyuan, Danfeng..., Shitou Yuyao, you guys come here."

A group of people followed Ji Xiaobei into the house.

Aunt Song, Second Aunt Ji, Third Aunt Ji, Xiao Qi's mother, Shugen's wife, Xiao Ju, Xiao Qi and others who were sitting in the room all stood up when they saw so many people coming in.

It has been more than a year since they came to Anzhou, and this is the first time they have held a meeting together.

"I called the people from the workshop here this time because I want them to help clean up the empty yard. Aunt Song, you guys take care of it and move in as soon as it's done. I'll give up the house over there."

Ji Xiaobei said.

Aunt Song replied, "Yes, I've seen this place. There's enough space. We can combine the two shops together. We don't need to use donkeys to transport cloth back and forth..."

"Yes, Xiaobei, this saves both rent and donkey carts. We don't have to travel back and forth. This way we are closer to home and can do more work at night."

Ji Ernai said.

The women in the workshop were all very happy.

Seeing Xiao Qiniang's melancholy expression, Ji Xiaobei said, "Xiao Qiniang, I have asked Shitou to rent a house for you. It's right next to where Shitou lives, and there's someone to take care of you. It's also not far from Aunt Song and the others..."

Since Haixia died, Ji Xiaobei has taken extra care of Haixia's mother and Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi was sent to Jinlufang in Beijing to learn tailoring for a period of time.

Xiaoqi is talented and her skills have now surpassed her mother's.

Xiao Qi Niang said quickly: "Thank you for your trouble, I will give you the rent money later!"

Ji Xiaobei didn't respond to her words and continued, "In more than a year, we have set up two shops, and everyone has worked hard.

Yuyao will do the accounting before the New Year, and everyone will get dividends then.

The textile shop is managed by Shitou and Yuyao, and the handicraft shop is managed by Xiaoju. She is more familiar with it. With your help, Aunt Song, there won't be any problems.

Thank you all for your hard work this year. Now that the two shops have been merged, we will help each other. If you encounter any problems, please consult Yuyao and Shitou more often.

They are both young, so please bear with me if they do anything wrong. If there is anything wrong, please point it out. Yuyao is good at learning, and I believe she will be able to manage the shop better and better. I will have fewer shops in the future..."

Before Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, Shitou stood up and asked, "Sister, where are you going?"

All eyes turned to Ji Xiaobei.

Xiaoju also stood up and asked in surprise: "Sister, where are you going?"

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "As for me, I'm taking a break. The shop doesn't need me anymore. You guys are doing a good job. Both the handicraft shop and the textile shop have no shortage of customers. Business is booming!"

"Sister, no, you can't just ignore it!" Shitou said with his neck stiff.

His sister is the backbone of the family, and he dare not imagine what he would become without her.

"Sister, let's just stick to the way we were before. You suddenly let us make the decision, and we don't know what to do!"

Yuyao also said this.

Xiaoju nodded vigorously. Although she was the one who made the decisions in the handicraft shop, it was because her sister was standing behind her. She felt that she would not be able to succeed without her sister.

"I have other things to do now and can't take care of the shop. If you don't accept it, the shop will be closed!"

When the people standing at the small table in the yard heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. Miss Ji wanted to close Zheng Dafu, but she couldn't close these two shops at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Song could no longer sit still and stood up and said loudly:

"Your sister is so busy every day that she has no time to take care of the shop. You three should just take over. With us here, nothing will go wrong. Even if something goes wrong, isn't Xiaobei here? Isn't that right, Xiaobei?"

Aunt Song asked.

Ji Xiaobei nodded.

The little desk clerk came in and said, "Girl, this is the jewelry that Miss Jiaojiao sent for me..."

He put the box on the table.

Ji Xiaobei nodded and said, "This is the jewelry from Zheng Dafu. You can pick the ones you like, one for each of you!"

Everyone looked at Ji Xiaobei in surprise again.

These are things that can be sold for money, why let them wear them?

"Xiaobei, you've already said you'd give us a profit, so you can use these jewelry to sell! They're pretty expensive."

Ji Ernai waved her hand and said.

Everyone agreed and said to let Ji Xiaobei sell it.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "If you don't pick it, there will be no more. Zheng Dafu is going to close the store!"

Stone had the strongest reaction: What the hell!

Closed store, no more sales!

Why?

If you don’t do such a good business, you’d be stupid!

Ji Xiaobei thought to himself that he had to give them an explanation somehow.

"I told you, I have more important things to do. Jiaojiao is with me. There's no one to take care of the jewelry store. Who among you can go to Zheng Dafu to sell jewelry?"

Ji Xiaobei glanced around.

No one said a word.
