The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

When Xue Ren arrived at Zhou Dajiang's house, Chen Xiuying was in the yard drying vegetables. The beans and radishes in the fields had all come down. Worried about the family having no vegetables to eat in the winter, Chen Xiuying took advantage of this free time to dry some more vegetables for the winter.

"Sister-in-law, I'm busy." Xue Ren greeted with a smile.

"Is that Brother Xue? Dajiang told me yesterday that you might come to see me." Chen Xiuying put down the basket in her hand.

"It's like this. The temporary factory has already recruited people. I want to find a kitchen helper. Do you have a suitable candidate?" Xue Ren explained his purpose.

Chen Xiuying didn't immediately answer whether there was a job offer or not. Instead, she asked, "Brother Xue, what are your requirements for helpers? I'd like to see if I can give you some advice."

Xue Ren thought for a moment and said, "It's best if the helper is diligent and efficient, clean, and has some basic cooking skills. However, such people are not easy to find. So, I'd like to ask if you know anyone suitable. Or, do you have any way to find such a person?"

Chen Xiuying didn't hide it this time and said, "We have two helpers building our house. They are nice people, work neatly and efficiently, and their cooking skills are also pretty good. I don't have to worry about anything at all. I just don't know how much we can pay them."

Xue Ren thought about it and said, "The wages are easy to negotiate, as long as the person is reliable. Sister-in-law, can you help me ask them if they are willing to come here to help us?"

I'll let them know the number of people eating the following day one day in advance, and then they'll arrange breakfast, lunch, and dinner based on the number of people eating. Breakfast and dinner are usually small, around three or five people, while lunch can be more crowded, around twenty or so people.

"Okay, I'll ask for you tomorrow morning. After I'm done, I'll let Zhou Dajiang tell you." Chen Xiuying agreed readily.

He told Xue Ren that if the two of them agreed, he would let them find him as soon as possible. After Xue Ren thanked Chen Xiuying, he went back to wait for news.

After he left, Chen Xiuying went to the construction site and asked Tian Ersao and Pangdong's wife if they were willing to go to the factory to cook, and told them about Xue Ren's request.

After all, cooking in a factory is a long-term job, and both Tian Ersao and Fatty's wife expressed their willingness. So, Chen Xiuying asked them to go to the old ancestral hall to find Xue Ren early the next morning, and also settled their wages for this period of time with them.

The next morning, Tian Ersao and Pang Dong's wife arrived at the temporary factory. Xue Ren was delighted to see them and enthusiastically took them to the west wing. He told them they would be cooking there from now on and explained the job description and salary. The two were very satisfied and decided to stay and give it a try.

In this way, Tian Ersao and Pang Dong's wife became kitchen helpers in the factory. They knew that this job was entirely due to Chen Xiuying's recommendation, and they were full of gratitude to Chen Xiuying. They worked even harder, because they couldn't let down the person who recommended them. Soon, their cooking skills were recognized by everyone, the workers enjoyed their meals, and they worked more enthusiastically.

Of course, these are things to follow.

As for Chen Xiuying, without the help of Tian Ersao and Pang Dong's wife, she's even busier than before. Although it's a bit tiring, she's happy for them. After all, having a stable job is a rare thing for rural women.

In this way, with everyone busy, the temporary factory started operating.

In order to help the workers master the work content and get started as soon as possible, Zhou Dajiang asked Zhou Dahe, Tian Youcai and Zhou Dahai to divide the work at their respective stages into several parts.

Then, a position is assigned to each part, and the workers in that position only need to learn the work content of that part. In this way, learning is much easier, and everyone can get started soon.

Xue Jin was a quick learner, and Zhou Dajiang's arrangement gave him an idea: the process could be arranged in this way. He had worked as a manager before, but he had never considered breaking down a job into several parts.

He knew Zhou Dajiang wouldn't stay long. Once the factory was on track, he would withdraw, only occasionally offering technical advice. He wanted to learn as much as he could while he was still here.

The second stamping machine was also assembled. Zhou Dajiang explained the working principle of the stamping machine, especially the replaceable mold part, to several technical backbones again.

It is impossible for the factory to process only these products. It will have to process other products in the future. The processing and research and development of other products will gradually fall on their shoulders. The innovative consciousness in this regard must be instilled in them in advance.

After the workers were able to get the hang of the machine, Zhou Dajiang took out the drawings of the meat grinder and asked several technical backbones to study it to see which part of the processing could be improved, so that they could start production directly when orders came in.

In a flash, more than ten days passed, and the Zhou family’s new house was finally ready to be built.

Zhou Dajiang had chosen a date, and early that morning, the Zhou family was busy preparing for the ceremony. According to custom, raising the beam was a major event, requiring careful preparation. Neighbors and villagers also came to help, creating a lively atmosphere.

When the auspicious time arrived, firecrackers blasted. Zhou Dajiang and Wu Chunsheng stood on the roof and personally placed the beams, wrapped in red cloth, into the mortise and tenon joints, aligning them perfectly.

Firecrackers blasted below, and the crowd cheered. The craftsmen shouted in unison, "Put up the main beam! Good luck!" They also threw small fish buns, candies, and small red envelopes filled with copper coins below.

Zhou Sisi had only read about the ancient custom of raising beams in books before, and this was her first time experiencing it in person. Seeing everyone rushing to grab the things thrown down, she was startled. Tietou was afraid that his sister would suffer a loss, so he quickly pulled her and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and grab them!"

Zhou Sisi finally reacted and joined the looting crowd.

Chen Xiuying didn't let the younger brothers Chen Nan, Chen Bei, Dabao, Erbao, and Ang'er leave the field at all because she was afraid that they would get squeezed and hurt again. Now they were envious when they saw Zhou Sisi and her brothers having so much fun fighting for the tickets.

Little Lotus' eyes lit up when she saw food. No one could see her at all. She was running so fast that when everyone finally stopped, they found that this little girl had grabbed the most food. The small shoulder bag in front of her that Li had made for her was full!

The little girl wasn't stingy either. She followed her older siblings' lead and shared the steamed buns she had snatched with her younger brothers and the children in the village. She also kept the candy for herself and her older sister to enjoy slowly...

Once the main beam is put up, the house is half built.

Next, it was time to renovate the interior. Zhou Dajiang planned to wait until the house was completely finished before setting up a few tables for a banquet, inviting friends and family to thank them. He remembered everyone's hard work during this period.
