"This time, my family is not only looking for workers who can make tofu, but also those who can weave baskets. However, this matter has to be approved by my grandfather. Only those who are qualified by him can be hired. The wages are calculated according to the number of pieces weaved. When someone comes to apply, we will tell them in detail."

When everyone heard that Xiaolan's family still needed people to weave baskets, they all became interested.

After the villagers said goodbye and went home, they took action that evening and told their relatives about this good thing. They were afraid that the number of places was limited, and if they told them too late, people would have recruited enough people and they would not be able to squeeze in.

The old Sheng family was also very lively tonight. When Cui saw that only Sheng Xuan came, she stretched her head to look behind Sheng Xuan, and when she found that Zhang did not follow, her face immediately darkened.

Zhang is a good cook. Today there are many people at home and they need to prepare a banquet. She was thinking of asking Zhang to help cook two dishes to reduce the burden on everyone.

"Third brother, why are you the only one here? Why didn't the child's mother come with you?" Cui asked with a cold face.

"Mom, many villagers came to our house today to help with the cleaning. They have been busy for a long time, and we can't let them go home empty-stomach, so I asked the child's mother to prepare a table of food at home to entertain them," Sheng Xuan explained to Cui and Old Man Sheng.

"It's as it should be, Lao San, you did the right thing. People saw that your house was open and came to help, which was to give you face. We are not the kind of people who don't know etiquette, and it is as it should be to entertain them in the evening." After listening to Sheng Xuan's explanation, Grandpa Sheng sighed in his heart, it seems that Lao San has established prestige in the village, and he is also a celebrity in their Shengjia Village. According to him, there are quite a few people who go to his house to help, and they go there spontaneously, which is to give him face.

The Sheng family had not yet prepared the meal, and only Sheng Hao's family and Sheng Xuan were sitting on the kang.

"Third brother," Sheng Hao greeted Sheng Xuan while sitting on the edge of the kang, "eldest brother is going to Hejian County to be an official. I heard from second brother that his whole family should go with him. The day before yesterday, Xiao Ye heard second brother and his family discussing that they were afraid that eldest brother would go to be an official without them, so they wanted to persuade our parents to go with him."

Xiao Ye nodded and said, "Third uncle, I also heard Sister Xiu'e discussing with Brother Yuan that they also wanted to go with them to make money and enjoy life together."

After hearing this, Sheng Xuan's eyes twitched. He didn't reveal anything in front of them. But they were going to Hejian County to make a fortune and enjoy life? How could they make a fortune and enjoy life? Were they going to exploit the people in the village?

"I think my family members are convinced by my second brother, and they are thinking about going, but I don't want to go." Sheng Hao said. "I am just an honest farmer, and I don't even dare to think about getting rich and enjoying life. I just want to have a house to live in, plant a few acres of land, and live with my wife and children. I just want to live a stable life."

"Yes, our family just wants to live a stable life. As long as we can have enough food to eat and our children can grow up healthily, it is better than anything else." Liu also said.

"Third brother, you said that the whole family lived in Shengjia Village before, and our parents didn't agree that we should separate and live separately. But in a month they will go to Hejian County, and we don't know when they will come back, and we don't know if they can come back. Besides, our family won't go with them. If I say that I want to separate the family now, will our parents agree?"

Sheng Xuan did not answer Sheng Hao's question immediately, but asked him, "Old Four, have you made up your mind?"

Sheng Hao nodded and said, "Third brother, I won't hide it from you. I want to divide this family clearly before our father and eldest brother leave, mainly to separate our family. Our parents have always lived with the eldest family, and now that eldest brother is going to be an official, our parents can also enjoy the good life, and we don't have to worry about it anymore. I think eldest brother will be willing to separate our family. If we also go to Hejian County, then there will be a few more mouths to feed at home. If we don't go, it can also reduce their burden."

"Fourth brother, you have never separated out over the years. You have been helping with housework and supporting our eldest brother's family. Now that eldest brother has finally made it, it is time for you to give back to the family. If you separate out now, you won't get any benefits at all. Can you be willing to accept that? If the family is not separated, you will definitely get some benefits from your family. Otherwise, you should think about it carefully." Sheng Xuan analyzed the pros and cons to the fourth brother and persuaded him.

"Third brother, you should know me. I am a down-to-earth person who only knows how to grow crops. I am not destined to be rich and powerful. I just want to live a stable and comfortable life. As for helping with housework and supporting our eldest brother's family before, just consider it as my repayment for the kindness of our parents in giving birth to me. As for the future, I just want to live for myself and for our small family." Sheng Hao said.

Sheng Hao was an honest farmer, and he spoke very honestly. Sheng Xuan saw that he was determined to separate and live on his own, so he stopped trying to persuade him, "Old Four, if you have made up your mind, I will support you to separate and live on your own."

The old Sheng family prepared a very rich meal tonight, including pork, chicken, and fish. With so many delicious ingredients, Cui was naturally worried about her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law working in the kitchen, so she naturally had to keep an eye on them the whole time.

With the arrival of Sheng Nuo as the clerk of Hejian County, Cui's status also rose. She is now an old lady. Today is a big day. The daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law in the family are also very considerate. They are all harmonious and their smiles are brighter than flowers. They have no complaints about Cui's surveillance.

Especially Pang Xiu'e, she has become even more heartless since she had a miscarriage and lost her child. She would go to the Sheng family every other day to make trouble. But since the news came that Sheng Nuo was going to be an official, she has completely stopped.

In addition to the family members, the Sheng family also had dinner with several people who came to congratulate them. After the outsiders left, the Sheng family began to discuss the important matter of Sheng Nuo's upcoming appointment.

"Dad, this time when I go to take up the office, I plan to travel light, just our family." Sheng Nuo took the initiative and was the first to make his attitude clear.

Sheng Nuo's words clearly sent a signal to the rest of the Sheng family that he only wanted to take people from their first branch with him to take up the post. As for the others, whether it was Old Master Sheng, Mrs. Cui, or people from the second or fourth branch, he didn't want to take any of them with him.
