"Can I try this oil-paper umbrella first?" Liu Chuanmu asked happily.

Although this was the first oil-paper umbrella he made, he had not yet tried out the degree of opening and closing.

"Go ahead and try." Zhao Shiying nodded.

Shouldn't Liu Chuanmu be the first person to try it?

Although Zhao Shiying was confused, she nodded.

How could she know that Liu Chuanmu didn't dare to try it without Zhao Shiying's approval, and handed it to Zhao Shiying after he finished it, after all, he knew that Zhao Shiying was anxious.

The moment Liu Chuanmu opened the oil-paper umbrella, everyone's mouths opened in surprise.

This oil-paper umbrella looks no different from the ones you buy outside. The only difference is the umbrella cover.

There are paintings or embellishments on the outside.

But this one doesn’t have that. It’s just a piece of slightly yellow paper, brushed with tung oil a few times. It’s a simpler version.

"Uncle Liu, do you know how to make an oil-paper umbrella?" Zhao Shiying asked.

"I know. Next time I won't take so long. But things that need to be soaked in advance should be soaked in advance." Liu Chuanmu said.

"Well, then you can cut some bamboos in advance and put them in a pond or river to soak. Then you can paint the oil-paper umbrellas you make later. It would be best to find a painter," Zhao Shiying said.

Liu Chuanmu nodded and kept this in mind.

Zhao Guocheng and Wang Ronghua were equally curious and started to study the oil-paper umbrella.

Zhao Shimin was really shocked. She felt that as long as she had her little sister, nothing would be impossible.

Who would have thought that a little three-year-old girl actually knew how to make oil-paper umbrellas.

And it was really made, and it was no different from the one you bought.

Zhao Shimin couldn't help but take action, opening and closing it, opening it again, and closing it again.

The oil-paper umbrella was made successfully and Liu Chuanmu began his holiday.

But in the next few days he needs to prepare the bamboo for making umbrellas, and also the dyes and glue need to be prepared in advance.

On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, all the workers in the workshop officially have a holiday and will not reopen until the 15th day of the 1st lunar month of the following year.

This is a rare holiday for the workers in the workshop.

Zhao Guocheng also asked Erbazi and Shuanzi not to come and go home to celebrate the New Year.

Shuanzi smiled happily. Although he didn't like that home, it was still his home after all, and he had to go back for the New Year.

Qin Ming's injury has almost healed, and he can work without any problem.

So Qin Ming started to be responsible for delivering goods again.

The same thing happened to Zhao Guocheng. On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, he completed his task only after delivering all the products made the day before and the previous inventory to the owner of Fumanlou, Wang, in the county.

The silver settled today filled a bag, a lot of silver. Not only because there was a lot of goods today, but also because the goods were good. In addition, Zhao Guocheng brought out two jars of wine for Shopkeeper Wang, so Shopkeeper Wang directly rewarded him with ten taels of silver.

How generous of you.

Zhao Guocheng also went to Bailu Academy to see Wang Yueshan.

I knew I would go back for the New Year, and I had originally planned to leave in the afternoon. But when I knew my brother-in-law was coming, I immediately packed my things, said goodbye to my master, got in Zhao Guocheng's car, and went home together.

Along the way, the two chatted about the academy and Zhao Guocheng's recent situation.

Knowing that Zhao Shiying had made another oil-paper umbrella, he was really impressed. He had never looked down on his niece, but he didn't expect there would be more surprises.

Wang Yueshan insisted on going to see the oil-paper umbrella and his nephews first.

When I got home, I found out that Min Wenying and Wang Haiming had just sent Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui back, and they were both in Guxian Village.

"What a coincidence, everyone is here." Wang Yueshan was very happy to see his parents and said with a smile.

"Yueshan is back. Oh, I just told your sister that I wondered if you could come back for the New Year. I thought of asking your brother-in-law to ask, but I didn't expect you to come back." Min Wenying said with a smile.

"Mom, Dad, are you all in good health? The academy will be closed for the New Year, and the Spring Examination will be held in February next year, so we will only be at home for a few days during the New Year." Wang Yueshan said.

"Huh? The Spring Examination in February? Isn't it March or May?" Wang Haiming wondered.

"It's advanced this year, and the headmaster gave us accurate information, so we don't have much time to rest next."

"I see." Wang Haiming nodded.

"So, you're leaving after the New Year?" Min Wenying was anxious.

"I will return to the academy on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and then start my journey to the capital," said Wang Yueshan.

"It seems that your time is really tight."

Wang Ronghua and Zhao Guocheng asked about the situation in the academy, and then let everyone have dinner.

I must be hungry after all the way back, and it’s time for dinner.

Everyone sat together and started to eat, it seemed like they were celebrating the New Year reunion in advance.

After dinner, Min Wenying, Wang Haiming and Wang Yueshan prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he gave the profits from the grocery store to Zhao Shiying.

Zhao Shiying was smiling so happily.

"By the way, Grandpa, have you paid Brother Wang Mian's wages? The New Year is almost here, have you also paid his benefits?" Zhao Shiying asked.

"I gave it to him. It was all given according to your request. For the New Year, I gave him five kilograms of meat, twenty kilograms of flour, and ten kilograms of rice. They were all sent to his home." Wang Haiming said with a smile.

"Grandpa, you have worked hard, grandma, you have worked hard, but don't worry, this is my gift to you. I hope you will accept it as a small token of my gratitude. If you don't accept it, you will be looking down on me." Zhao Shiying was very good at fooling people.

Wang Haiming couldn't help but laugh.

Min Wenying also smiled and then patted the back of Zhao Shiying's hand.

"What are you talking about? How can we, as elders, take money from a three-year-old child like you? People will laugh at us if others tell them about it." Min Wenying said as she stuffed the money back to Zhao Shiying.

Zhao Shiying: Her grandmother always pushes away all her money. She can’t learn this spirit.

"Grandma, you have to believe that I am a person who can make a lot of money and I don't care about this little money. Besides, you have helped me so much, it won't be too much to buy you some clothes for the New Year, so you must accept this." Zhao Shiying said and stuffed it back.

"Hahaha...you're such a smartass." Min Wenying smiled helplessly.

"Mom, Dad, you better take it, otherwise she won't be able to sleep well at night. This child is very sensible, you can take it with confidence. If you don't take it, she won't dare to bother you again in the future." Wang Ronghua tried to mediate.

"Yes, grandma, if you don't take it, I will ask someone else for help in the future," Zhao Shiying threatened.

"Okay, okay, you are a filial child, Shisheng, Shihui and Shimin are all good children." Min Wenying shed tears of happiness after saying this.

You know, I never dared to imagine the life we ​​have now.

Min Wenying took the silver, a lot of it, exactly ten taels of silver. Of course, Zhao Shiying had already settled the money for the meal.

Afterwards, the three members of the Wang family drove the ox cart and set off for home.

After all, there will be a lot of work to do next, and every household has prepared a lot of food. No matter if you are rich or poor, you will still be greedy.
