A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Everyone was already very happy to receive the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, but they didn't expect the workshop to give everyone a day off. So, everyone was so happy that they all stood up and said, "Okay, thank you Uncle Zhang/Grandpa Zhang."

"That's all right. We won't waste your time. We'll start distributing festival gifts to everyone now. This year's festival gifts are the same as in the past. Each person will receive a pack of mooncakes, a pound of chili oil, and a pound of crispy whistles."

"Oh, that's great. Every time there's a festival, I look forward to the chili oil and crispy whistles from the workshop. Although I can afford them now, every time I receive them as festival gifts, I always think they taste better, hahahaha!!!"

"Don't tell me, I think so too."

“Of course, free and delicious food is more delicious, hahahahaha!!!”

Grandpa Zhang interrupted everyone and waved to everyone, "Okay, everyone line up first and then come to receive the gifts."

Some families not only have people working in the workshop, but also have people in the guard team, so they can get two or three Mid-Autumn Festival gifts at once.

For them, the extra holiday gifts can be used to visit relatives and friends, and it also makes them look good when they give them away.

Zhang Xingyun saw Zhang Dashan and Mu Shi coming to receive the gifts in the crowd and said, "Uncle Dashan, Aunt Mu, you should take Xiaochao's gift back as well! Xiaochao is busy outside and has no time to come back, but the gift that belongs to Xiaochao should still be given to him."

"Hahaha, okay, Xiaoyun, then Uncle Dashan won't be polite to you. I'll let Xiaochao take it for me."

Zhang Xingyun placed three holiday gifts in front of Zhang Dashan and Mu.

Zhang Dashan stepped forward with two gifts in his hand, and Mu also took a gift in her hand and retreated back to the yard.

Zhang Dashan said to Mu, "His mother, we will go back to your father-in-law's house tomorrow and take some back with us. You have been working in the workshop. You haven't been back to your mother's house to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law since the New Year. Let's take Xiaohua and Xiaohe back with us tomorrow."

Mu smiled and replied, "That's fine. Bring one back tomorrow and make my father and mother happy."

It was the first time that Mo Yan and his two companions and Shen Luo and his sister saw such a scene.

However, they were all shocked by the scene of everyone queuing up to receive holiday gifts. All the people working in the workshop, whether they had just received their gifts or were still queuing up, had joy on their faces.

Many women are still discussing about the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow and how much delicious food they should prepare at home or what gifts they should prepare to send back to their parents' home.

In life, what we experience are nothing more than eating, drinking, housing and transportation, and among them, eating and drinking are the most important.

For those who work in Zhang's workshop, the existence of Old Zhang's has brought great changes to their diet and given them more hope.

Shen Ming whispered in Shen Luo's ear: "Sister, I envy the people who work in Brother Zhang's workshop. The monthly salary is higher than that of many families in the town. In addition, I heard from the uncles in the workshop that each of them has two days of rest every month. They can work at home without going far away, and they also get gifts during festivals."

Shen Luo looked at the scene in front of him and sighed: "Yes, when you look at the uncles and aunts holding the festival gifts, you can feel their happiness and joy."

Mo Wen also said to Mo Yan, "Sir, this is the first time I've seen this. When I was at the mansion before, the accountant distributed monthly wages, and everyone was happy about it. But today, I found that these people were really happy. They were even discussing with each other who got two or three gifts."

Mo Yan agreed, "Yes, Yueyue's workshop feeds the villagers in the surrounding villages and has greatly changed everyone's lives. This is more admirable than some officials."

Mo Yan looked at Yueyue who was chatting with everyone in the crowd in front of him. For a moment, he felt a dazzling light surrounding Yueyue. There was clearly a group of people around her, but in Mo Yan's eyes, only her figure remained.

Zhang Yunyue, who was chatting with the village aunties in the crowd, seemed to feel someone looking at her, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the gaze.

It just happened to meet Mo Yan's eyes.

The two smiled at each other from a distance. At this moment, it seemed as if everyone around them was gone and there were only the two of them.

Mu, who was talking to Zhang Yunyue, saw that Zhang Yunyue was stunned and didn't hear her words, so she called Zhang Yunyue twice before she called Zhang Yunyue's gaze back.

Seeing this, Mo Yan shook his head, chuckled, and turned his gaze elsewhere.

Because everyone was in a hurry to go home to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, some people, after receiving their gifts, said goodbye to others and went home first.

After talking to the aunts in the village, Zhang Yunyue returned to Mo Yan and the others.

Mother Zhang looked around the yard. There were many people working in the workshop, and only a small number of people who were queuing up to receive the holiday gifts had received them. It would take a while for everyone to receive them.

Then he looked at the people standing next to him and said, "Ayan, Yueyue, Luoluo, Ming, let's go back first. Let your grandfather and father continue to distribute festival gifts here. I have to go back to help your second aunt cook. Your second aunt and your grandmother went back first."

Seeing that she was indeed not needed here, Zhang Yunyue said, "Okay, mother, let's go back first."

The remaining few people also knew that there was nothing they could do to help at this moment. The only thing left was to distribute the holiday gifts. They didn't know most of the people in the workshop, so they didn't want to stay here and cause trouble. So they nodded and followed Zhang's mother back home.

Zhang Yunyue walked out of the workshop holding her mother and Shen Luo's arms.

The three of them were walking on the road.

Zhang's mother said, "We can finally have a rest tomorrow. By the way, Yueyue, Luoluo, what kind of food do you want to eat tomorrow for the Mid-Autumn Festival? If we don't have it at home, let Xiaoyun go to town to buy it tomorrow.

By the way, Ah Yan, Ah Ming, tell us what you want to eat and we will cook it for you tomorrow."

Mo Yan: "Aunt, I can eat anything. The food you and Second Aunt cook is delicious."

Shen Ming scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "Aunt Zhang, me too, I'm not picky. What I've eaten these past two days is much richer than what I eat at home."

Shen Luo smiled and responded, "A Ming is right. The food we ate at Aunt Zhang's house these past two days is much better than what we ate in the past. A Ming and I are not picky."

Zhang Yunyue: "Mother, since they don't have any ideas, let me think about it. How about we cook some vegetables at noon tomorrow and have a barbecue at night? There are so many people. How about we go buy another sheep tomorrow and roast a whole sheep. With so many people, we will definitely be able to finish it. Then we can roast some other vegetables, pork belly, etc."
