Finally, Jiang Youshan could no longer remember who Master Zhai was. He staggered and could not stand up.

The night was dim. When Zhai Qingya was about to leave, Jiang Yue said to his back, "Wait."

Zhai Qingya turned around, slightly curved his eyes and said, "Do you still want to talk? Why don't you go to my house?"

Jiang Yue rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't you think you forgot something?"

Zhai Qingya asked: "What did I forget?"

Jiang Yue raised her head to look at him, and when she reached out her hand again, the round jade pendant with green tassels was hanging between her fingers. She said solemnly, "This is the jade pendant for you."

Zhai Qingya blinked his eyes and said, "You keep it first. I don't have the gold beads with me today, so I can't redeem it."

Jiang Yue handed it forward again and said, "Forget about the gold beads. This should be returned to its original owner. I didn't let your jade pendant suffer at all. Look, there's not a single scratch on it."

Zhai Qingya said, "Maybe next time. I wore a jade pendant when I went out today. It would be inappropriate to wear another one."

Jiang Yue held her forehead with her hand. She didn’t understand this circle of powerful people.

He asked back, "Isn't this what you use to marry a wife?"

"I won't be able to marry her in a day or two anyway, so let's put it aside for now."

After Zhai Qingya left, Jiang Yue sat alone in front of the office, playing with the jade pendant over and over in her hands with a distant look on her face.

This is a man's thing and has great significance. Jiang Yue knew this. Since they parted in the mountains, she put the jade pendant in a box and kept it.

When they met in the county town, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to redeem her.

Now she is kind enough to return the property to its original owner, but he still doesn’t want it?

After a long while, Jiang Yue curled her lips helplessly, put the jade pendant back into the box, and said to herself: "Next time, next time."

When she came to her senses, she found Jiang Ming staring at her in astonishment.

Not only him, but the whole family was shocked that she had become friends with the current county magistrate.

Without waiting for Jiang Yue to speak, Jiang Ming bluntly said, "So, elder sister and the county magistrate are so close? You are still young, don't let anyone fool you."

Jiang Yue's mouth twitched, and she said, "Brother, do I look so gullible?"

Jiang Ming insisted, "But Master Zhai treats you differently. I'm not saying you can't be together, but you have to wait at least two years."

Jiang Yue rubbed his forehead and said, "I am still a minor, and I will be a minor in two years. Why are you telling me all this? It's as if Master Zhai is interested in me."

Originally, under the call of the head of the village, the villagers felt that Jiang was kind-hearted and were very grateful. They paid him a high salary to open up wasteland before the winter. This was a big income and just filled the gap in the family.

But overnight, different voices were heard: saying that Jiang Youshan treated the villagers as farmhands and was hypocritical. If he really cared about the villagers, why didn't he just give everyone money to help them through their difficult times?

Needless to say, she knew that it was Liu and Jiang Changguang who were doing bad things behind her back. Did she think everyone was stupid?

Jiang Xue told the family about her indignation, but Jiang Yue just told her not to take it to heart.

Occasional work only requires strong laborers, who are hard to find. However, it is different for land reclamation. A whole family, young and old, can move stones and weed weeds and trees. They can earn 100 coins for reclaiming one acre of wasteland. If the family is diligent, they can complete the land reclamation in two days and earn much more than doing odd jobs.

The days pass slowly.

The three children went to school every day, Jiang Youshan was busy with land reclamation, and Cai collected all kinds of dried vegetables, pickled vegetables and fermented beans.

When Mr. Cui's school started collecting firewood, the children in the school could not keep the room cold while studying. Every winter, Mr. Cui required the students to carry firewood to school. Mr. Cui was thin and could not provide heat for three rooms.

Firewood was not a rare commodity, and there was a large pile of it in the wasteland at the foot of the mountain. Children could pick up a bundle on their way to school, and diligent children could even take a bundle home on the way.

Jiang Youshan had been putting weeds and trees from the land in the backyard to dry since he started the land reclamation. Not only was there no shortage of firewood at home, but there was more than enough. When he knew that the school needed firewood, he immediately brought a full cart of good, dried firewood.

Mr. Cui was delighted. With so much, his family would have enough firewood for the winter. Jiang Ming came back with another cart of straw to help start a fire in the winter.

Jiang Yue had nothing to do at home, just flipping through a few books at home.

The weather is getting colder and fewer people are working on the land.

Manager He came to give her the profits. After one month of operation, more than ten thousand pieces of soap were produced, and the profit given to her was as much as five hundred taels.

Shopkeeper He said, "The boss has been held up by something, and has specifically asked that the profit share for the first month must be delivered to you personally. Is it okay for the profit share to be settled quarterly in the future?"

Jiang Yue is already familiar with the affairs of this era. Most businesses are calculated on an annual basis. Xiao Che is trustworthy. After all, she has nothing to do, so it is fine to calculate on a quarterly basis. But the joy of making money by doing it a few more times is great.

Ye San and Manager He did not stay long. They left behind a few newly made samples and then left.

No wonder it’s a national chain of cosmetics stores, look at their team efficiency, they are very smart.

In just one month, the workers developed a new product. The product sent by Shopkeeper He was osmanthus soap. Osmanthus and dye were added during the production process, and words were printed on the soap.

The originally gray soap turned into a piece of tender yellow high-end skin care product with the scent of osmanthus, and the price also doubled.

Shareholders are in a good mood.

The air outside was damp, Jiang Youshan looked up at the sky and said, "It's going to snow today."

Two days later, it snowed and winter came, so the land reclamation stopped.

Jiang Youshan swept the thin layer of snow powder over and over again, and the snow stopped, and the yard was clean. Jiang Youshan was idle and didn't know what to do.

Cai was still busy, serving the family food and drink, and after taking care of the three pigs, she picked up good straw stalks to weave straw sandals.

Jiang Yue was speechless. Everyone has their own aspirations, and this was her hobby.

Cai just said that even if she didn't sell it, her family could still wear it.

Jiang Yue shrugged, respecting her mother's hobby. She turned to her father and said, "Let's go to the county town to buy things."

Cai said, "We don't lack anything at home. You can buy whatever you want. I'll cook whatever you want. I don't have much money."

In the fall, Jiang Yue bought a lot of cotton clothes and quilts, which was a huge expense. Cai felt distressed every time she saw the naked woman wearing the thick quilts.

You can make your own quilt and save a lot of money.

What are you buying here?

"It's time for our family to buy a car."

Jiang Youshan took a breath and said hurriedly, "Next year, let's talk about it next year."

May he have a good new year.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yue said, "We need to buy a cow to plow the land."

Jiang Youshan asked, "The car you are talking about is not an ox cart?"

Jiang Yue nodded: "Buy a carriage, the kind with a carriage."

What a joke! She earns 500 yuan a month now, and she can’t afford a BMW?

Jiang Youshan was speechless. The carts in the village were all pulled by oxen. It was not like she had never ridden in one before. Why did her daughter choose to buy the expensive ones? How expensive is a horse carriage? The best one is a bullock cart.

Cai said angrily, "Let's wait until our land is harvested."

"Alas," Jiang Yue sighed, "Then I can only deposit the money in a bank."

The two were speechless and looked at each other. All the family property was earned by their daughter. Was he meddling too much?

The family of three staggered into the city.

I went to the grain store first and bought some of all kinds of food. There was no harvest at home, so we had to buy food, and there was always food in the cellar.
