Chapter 184: Fulai Village has undergone a major transformation

We were busy until the autumn harvest in November.

The workshop was closed for the holiday and the villagers were about to have the autumn harvest. The Liu family, along with the 400 or so people living in the workshop and the farm, were busy with the harvest.

The Liu family has about 500 mu of rice fields, nearly 300 mu of sweet potatoes and potatoes, 300 mu of watermelon fields, and nearly 100 mu of corn. They are very busy! A few mu of pepper fields are just child's play.

The warehouses and yards were full. Taking advantage of the good weather, every place where the sun could shine was filled with things to dry. Even the main road of Fulai Village was only wide enough for one carriage to pass through, because the main road was paved with gravel and bamboo curtains were put up to dry things.

The Liu family had the most grain crops, which were piled everywhere, even in Liu Yuhan's space.

In pig and chicken farms, pigs and chickens are slaughtered every few days. During the busy farming season, everyone works hard and the food is much better than usual to ensure that everyone has enough to eat.

The Liu family was extremely busy. The young boys in the Liu family who were studying also took a holiday during the busy farming season to help with the harvest. They even extended their holiday.

Huo Nan brought his younger brother and sister-in-law with him, following the Huo steward's team. They were going to stay at the Liu family for a while. As the end of the year approached, General Huo couldn't stay idle and went to the military camp again.

Huo Nan cherishes the present time very much. After all, he will no longer be carefree starting next year, as he will follow his brother to the military camp.

They like staying at their sister-in-law's house. The air here is good and they feel free. It is very lively here and everyone is busy harvesting. The villagers are happy because of the good harvest. Everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.

The grain and crops of Changle County have been widely distributed throughout the county, and many sandy fields have been encouraged to be reclaimed for planting.

Changle County had the largest area, and naturally, this year's total harvest was the highest. This year, County Magistrate Zhu was once again honored to give a speech. Before going to the government office, he naturally asked his wife to help him tidy up, shaving and grooming as needed. This was his proudest moment, so he had to look his best, right?

People were sent from the capital, and the grain purchased in large quantities by the government office was transported to the north and to other cities. Corn was also prepared for large-scale popularization and planting.

After the crops are harvested, the vermicelli workshop becomes busy again.

There are three vermicelli workshops, of which Zhuangzi is the largest, producing a considerable amount every day. The vermicelli is quickly dried in good weather, packaged, and then the general distributor arrives to pick it up.

Now we not only supply the military, but other general distributors will also directly pass through Changle County to transport goods, not just vermicelli, but also soaps, perfumed soaps, etc.

There are now two soap workshops, each producing over 1000 soaps a day. Besides supplying the two pharmacies and the military camp, the remaining soap is shipped to the capital and other places for sale by Butler Huo.

The pharmacy in Fu'an City now belonged to Liu Yuhan. On his birthday, General Huo gave Liu Yuhan the deed to the pharmacy, a three-story house not far from the Huo residence, and a farmland. They were her personal property. Liu Yuhan didn't know what to say.

Huo Dong's grandmother, Old Lady Jiang, hadn't been able to attend the engagement ceremony because her granddaughter had just given birth. Later, she personally arrived, loaded with gifts for Liu Yuhan, including the deed to the wharf, explaining it was an engagement gift for her and Huo Dong. She insisted she accept it, insisting it was a gift from an elder. The wharf was managed, and the annual earnings and account books would be given to her at the end of the year. This generosity was truly worthy of the Jiang family.

Even her grandmother's family sent her a lot of valuable jewelry and letters of blessing. Liu Yuhan kept all these gifts in her space.

Now Liu Yuhan has no shortage of people and money.

She approached Magistrate Zhu and offered to provide funds, hoping that he would build an "orphanage" and a "public school" in the county town to provide a place to stay and a way out for orphans, homeless people, or those who could not afford to go to school.

If the youth are wise, the country will be wise; if the youth are rich, the country will be rich; if the youth are strong, the country will be strong; if the youth are independent, the country will be independent; if the youth are free, the country will be free; if the youth are progressive, the country will be progressive.

County Magistrate Zhu was filled with emotion. The Liu family girl had such a kind heart that was rare in this world.

Liu Yuhan slowly walked hand in hand with Baiyun on the road to Fulai Village.

The main road in the village has been expanded, and some wild flowers and fruit trees have been planted on both sides of the road. Now everyone's courtyard walls are no longer made of adobe, but stone brick walls, and many families have built brick houses.

The former thatched houses of Fulai Village were demolished, and a large square was built in the center of the village. The ground was compacted with gravel and sand. Stone benches and tables were placed around the square, and fruit trees and wildflowers were planted around it. This is where the village holds meetings.

Not far from the square is the newly built school, from which the sound of reading can be heard.

When they have nothing to do, the old man will bring his children to play here. The old man weaves bamboo baskets in his hands. There are endless baskets to weave and endless money to earn.

No one wore tattered clothes or old shoes anymore. People were more generous with their food and drink. Every household raised pigs and chickens, and the number of cattle in the village increased, so everyone could afford to buy a cow.

Many girls from other villages had married into Fulai Village, and many young men there had already started families. Many were newborns Liu Yuhan didn't recognize, all plump and fair-skinned and adorable. They had grown up in an age where they had no worries about food and clothing; they were lucky.

There are currently five couples living in the workshop's family suites. All of them met and got married in the workshop's male and female student dormitories.

As long as they are sincere about getting married, the Liu family will help them hold a simple wedding ceremony, with the village chief as the officiant and the people in the workshop as witnesses.

Liu Yuhan exchanged all 24 indentures for good deeds and gave them to them. These people knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Yuhan, saying they would always remember the kindness of the eldest girl and the Liu family.

By the end of the year, two more couples were getting married: Qingdai and Fuwa from the medicine shop, and Qiu Sheng and Wuyou from the soap shop. Liu Yuhan treated them the same way as he had treated Baizhi and Jiang Hu, preparing dowry gifts for them.

Liu Laizi and Xu Fugui became fathers around the same time. They had a chubby son and daughter. They were simply amazing. Whenever they had free time, Liu Laizi would hold his daughter and son, while Xu Fugui would hold his son, and they'd walk around the village, showing off how chubby and adorable their daughter and son were.

Old Xu was even happier! He looked younger than he had two years ago, his face radiant with life. He would hold his eldest grandson in his arms and chat with other elderly people in the square while basking in the sun.

Xu Fugui and Sun Xiaohua told him not to do manual work anymore, saying that there was enough money at home and that he should not work too hard.

Liu Laizi's mother's condition was getting better and better. Although she was still not very conscious, her speech was becoming clearer and clearer. She could also help take care of the baby. She got along well with Sun Shangxiang, Sun Shangxiang's mother-in-law and his son.

It might have something to do with the environment, or it might have something to do with the tranquilizing pills Liu Yuhan gave him. Liu Laizi naturally felt even more grateful to Liu Yuhan, and he became even more determined to join the Liu family, determined to work for them for the rest of his life.

Liu Yuhan considered that some of the girls in the workshop would get married and have children, and they would have no family, so she set up a special mother-and-baby room with a number of cribs so that new mothers could go in and feed their babies. She would also ask the older women, such as Grandma Zhang, to help look after the children while they cooked.

The workshop also stipulated that women have maternity leave, and even during maternity leave, they can still receive basic wages. It can be said that this is very thoughtful, and these women who gave birth and their families are naturally grateful to the Liu family.
