"Huang Quan, how come you know everything?" Xia Qing asked.

Huang Quan scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I always go to play with them. My mother married into Shenjiazhuang."

Xia Qingqing understood and said with a smile, "That would be great. Isn't my house almost finished? I need to make a lot of furniture. I wonder if your uncle is free?"

"When we have time, we have time!" The eldest, second and third oxen of the Shen family nodded at the same time.

"Then go back today and tell your uncle that I will visit him tomorrow and ask him to wait for me at home, okay?" Xia Qingqing said politely.

"Of course, I'll definitely wait for you."

Shen Daniu was a little flattered and said, "My uncle will definitely be very happy."

Seeing how happy they were, Zhu Huifei slowly walked to Xia Qingqing's side and said, "I admire you."

"Why?" Xia Qingqing wondered and followed Zhu Huifei to the bow of the ship.

"I admire your good management skills," Zhu Huifei said, holding onto the plank. He turned to look at Xia Qingqing and said, "They are very happy to work for you. You get along very well. Unlike other people..."

Xia Qingqing immediately understood what Zhu Huifei meant and turned around and said solemnly, "They are helping me make money, so of course I have to treat them well."

Zhu Huifei's back suddenly shook, and he felt as if he was struck by lightning.

Seeing Zhu Huifei's stunned expression, Xia Qingqing turned around and shouted to the crowd, "Bring over the baskets you brought with you. I need to share these strawberries with you quickly, otherwise they'll all be gone once we get off the boat."

"okay."

Seeing that only Shen Daniu, Liu Yuanlong, and Huang Quan had taken the backpacks, Xia Qingqing shouted, "Bring them all here, everyone has one."

"We are a family, so just give us a share." Shen Daniu said.

"Go get it."

Xia Qingqing's face darkened, and everyone immediately took action, bringing out their own backpacks.

Xia Qingqing was finally satisfied and said, "I know you are a family. I am dividing it based on the number of people."

She was trying her best to be fair. Several of them were already married, and if they were grouped together, some would inevitably feel uncomfortable.

She has divided it up here, and no one will have anything to say when they go back.

Now that she has settled in a certain place, she has to follow the local customs.

In addition to these people, Zhu Huifei and Cheng Dazhuang also gave some to them and asked them to take it home to eat.

Cheng Dazhuang was as happy as a child, and was thinking about bringing this rare thing home to his mother to taste.

Xia Wude hurried over to the Huo family courtyard and asked, "Why? I heard they haven't returned yet?"

"It's true that I'm almost an hour late today. I usually come back early," Huo Gang said with some concern, "and it's almost noon now."

"Don't worry, I've sent someone to find Ergou. He's familiar with going out to sea..."

Before Xia Wude could finish his words, Xia Ergou hurried over, and when he reached the door, his straw sandals had fallen away.

"Slow down, don't be in a hurry..."

Xia Wude shouted, and Tiezhu at the door quickly stepped forward, picked up the shoes, and handed them to Xia Ergou, saying, "Uncle Ergou, please go slower..."

"I just took a look. There were indeed some waves on the sea today, but there are no wind or waves at the moment," Xia Ergou said hurriedly. "I think I should take the boat out to sea to look for it."

"Let's go look for it!" Ding and Xu Xiuxiu nodded anxiously in agreement, and urged, "Then don't delay any longer and get out to sea."

"Wait, why are we going out to sea?" Huo An came back from outside and saw the people above and hurriedly stopped them, "Didn't my sister-in-law say that if we come back late, we just have to be patient and wait..."

"Mother knows, but it's really too late this time." Ding said anxiously with sweat all over her forehead.

"Anyway, I think we can wait a little longer," Huo An said, "If something really happens at sea, it will be a problem for Uncle Ergou and the others to go out to sea, so everyone should be patient and wait."

"What the boss said makes sense." Zhao Wude also nodded in agreement.

"We're back! The ship is back!"

When everyone heard Hanzi's voice, they quickly turned around and saw a shadow rushing past the gate of the yard and disappearing in an instant.

Everyone hurriedly followed out and saw that the big ship was slowly approaching the shore, and everyone felt relieved.

"Call the people to start working!"

Huo An called out, and the workers rushed to the beach to prepare to unload the goods.

At this time, the sound of cattle and horses was heard, and Xia Wude discovered that Xiao Shunzi was riding a horse quickly, followed by many ox and horse carts.

"Xiao Shunzi? What's going on?" Xia Wude felt a little nervous when he saw a lot of people pouring into the village.

"Captain Xia, don't you see? These are people transporting goods, and those following behind are people buying goods..." Xiao Shunzi jumped off his horse and pointed into the distance, "Don't you see that Master Ouyang and Miss Wang are also bringing people with them?"

"County Magistrate Liang has gone out on business, leaving me here to keep an eye on your village."

"Look, as soon as I saw so many merchants coming to sell goods, I quickly called on oxen, horses, and carts to help transport the goods..."

Xia Wude understood and immediately greeted him.

"Our ship has just docked, please be patient..."

Xia Tiezhu heard the noise outside, went out and saw how many people were outside, and immediately asked the people who were building the house to stop their work and come to help maintain order.

Cheng Dazhuang stared at the seafood with his eyes flashing blue, but he didn't have much money in his pocket, so he asked Xia Qingqing, "Boss Xia, these seafood are really good. I want to buy more. Can I pay you a little bit first..."

"Haha, you have no money?" Zhu Huifei teased.

"I am in this state now because of your brother-in-law." Cheng Dazhuang said unhappily.

"Ah..." Zhu Huifei was almost spitting out blood. Seeing Cheng Dazhuang's angry look about to explode, he stepped forward and said, "Don't I have money?"

Cheng Dazhuang was immediately delighted when he heard this. He hugged Zhu Huifei and said, "Hey, let's go get the goods."

Xia Qingqing shrugged and said, "It's best not to owe any debts..."

The Huo family courtyard was packed with merchants who came to purchase goods, horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts for freight, and villagers from the surrounding area who came to buy seafood.

However, under Huo An's arrangement, everyone proceeded in an orderly manner.

After everyone had their eyes on the goods, they went to Taohua to pay the money and get the order, and then went to Huo An to get the goods...

Wang Qingyan covered her mouth and said in surprise: "I really didn't expect so many people to come today..."

Now I can finally stand up straight when I get home, and all the fatigue from the past few days seems to be worth it.

"Qingqing, I'm so happy!" Wang Qingyan ran over and hugged Xia Qingqing tightly after seeing her, muttering, "I was right about you. You are the most powerful woman."

"Cough cough cough..."

This hug almost knocked Xia Qingqing away. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a figure slowly retreating from the crowd.

"Qingyan, you and Ouyang go take a break. I'll come find you two later."

Xia Qingqing quickly pushed Wang Qingyan away and chased after her.
