After seeing off Shopkeeper Chen, the Xue brothers, Ma Lin and a group of workers also left.

Zhou Dajiang and Wu Chunsheng settled the final payment and gave each craftsman a red envelope. Although the money was not much, it was enough for a day's work. Everyone left happily with the red envelopes in their pockets, and Wu Chunsheng was dragged away by Zhou Dajiang to his house. He also wanted to build a house.

When Zhang, the village chief, saw that most of the people had left, he came forward to congratulate Zhou Dajiang and praised Zhou Dajiang for building a magnificent house. Zhou Dajiang waved his hands and said that it was thanks to everyone's help, especially Zhang, the village chief. If he hadn't helped to find Wu Chunsheng, who knows when the house would be built.

Village Chief Zhang smiled, patted Zhou Dajiang on the shoulder and said, "Given the relationship between us, don't say those polite words, this is what we should do.

Besides, Dazhuang has been taken care of by you every day. This is the only ability I, your uncle Zhang, will have in my lifetime. From now on, I will have to rely on you young people. If Dazhuang can learn even one tenth of your skills by following you, I will be satisfied. "

Zhou Dajiang was polite and said that he would do his best to take good care of Dazhuang, and so on.

After getting his assurance, Village Chief Zhang did not continue the conversation. He waved his hand to tell Zhou Dajiang not to see him off. He turned around, put his hands behind his back, sang an unknown tune, and walked away slowly.

Seeing him leave, Uncle Zhou Jiu came over to greet Zhou Dajiang. Uncle Zhou Jiu smiled and said to Zhou Dajiang, "Dajiang, your new house is really nice. You young people are really resourceful. This house looks really nice after you renovated it!"

Zhou Dajiang replied, "Uncle Jiu, you're really wrong. This house was decorated by Xiuying and the workers. I've been busy with factory work lately and haven't had any involvement at all."

"Then your wife is quite capable, worthy of being a daughter of a scholar. I have to thank you for letting Cui come to help."

The Cui he was talking about was his daughter-in-law, Pangdong's wife.

Uncle Zhou Jiu changed the subject after he finished speaking. "I just heard from Village Chief Zhang that his brother Dazhuang works in your factory. To be honest, Uncle Jiu is very envious. Last time when we were selecting workers, Dongzi happened to be delivering something to his sister's house in the city and missed it. If there is a chance in the future, no matter what it is, as long as you can promote your disappointing brother, Uncle Jiu will be very grateful."

"Uncle Jiu, what are you talking about? Dongzi is my own brother. Whenever I have the chance, I will definitely think of him." Zhou Dajiang responded quickly.

"Thank you very much, Dajiang." Uncle Zhou Jiu shook Zhou Dajiang's hand vigorously and walked away with big strides.

Regardless of whether others help or not, it is already very good to show this attitude.

After seeing everyone off, Zhou Dajiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as the rest of them were considered his own people.

Chen Xiuying, her two sisters-in-law, Pangdong's wife, and Tian Er's sister-in-law were cleaning up the dishes. Chen Xiuwan and her sister and Wang also lent a hand to help. There were only six tables in total, and eight people could clean up quickly.

When his wife went back to the house to get something, Zhou Dajiang followed her into the house, took out two hundred and twenty taels of silver notes from his pocket, and asked his wife to keep it.

Chen Xiuying took the banknote and said, "So much!"

Zhou Dajiang grinned, "They're a chain restaurant. How many customers can these few dishes attract? You have to have a lot, otherwise your value won't be reflected!"

"You can't always be alone in the pit, this is almost enough."

"That won't do! This is something my wife worked so hard on, so the price has to be right!"

Chen Xiuying glared at Zhou Dajiang and said, "Just keep talking nonsense." After that, she put the banknote away and left the room.

After Chen's mother and Zhou's mother had finished their meal, Chen Xiuying let them rest. At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the house sewing small dolls.

There was no way. The youngest granddaughter, Yujie, had taken a fancy to the little doll used to tie the curtains in Sister Sisi's room. It would be unkind of her not to make one for her to take away.

With more children, there are more things to think about. When Zhou's mother saw Chen's mother sewing, her little granddaughter also wanted her mother to make one for her in the morning. So Zhou's mother followed her and made one for her little granddaughter too.

Two old ladies were chatting while sewing.

Mother Chen: "You know what, this little baby is quite popular. Didn't you see that my older daughter also touched the little baby several times? It's just that she is older now, so she didn't show it easily."

Zhou's mother agreed, "That's right. My little granddaughter is also looking at her sister's things with great anticipation. Just look at Sisi's little brain. She drew this little thing. Even an old lady like me is amazed by it, let alone the children."

Mother Chen pondered for a moment. "What do you think? How about we find a few people to sew these and sell them? We'll give Sisi a cut and ask her to draw us some more designs."

Mother Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay! We'll each pay half. You've seen a lot of the world, so you'll be responsible for finding sales channels. I'll be responsible for getting the goods and finding people to sew them. We'll pay the people who sew the dolls later, and we can set up a small workshop!"

The two hit it off and decided to get started. When Zhou Sisi came back, they would ask her to draw a few more designs.

On Chen Xiuying's side, brothers Zhou Dajiang and Zhou Dahai also helped to clean up. They finished the cleaning in less than half an hour and returned the borrowed tables, chairs, bowls and plates.

Chen Xiuwan continued to nag Chen Xiuying about the color of the wallpaper, and Chen Xiuwei and Wang were also very interested.

Chen Xiuwei wanted to decorate her little daughter's room as well, but her youngest son currently sleeps with her, so there's no need for that.

Wang was thinking that after the government sent people to build the house, she would decorate all the rooms in her home like her sister's house. Warm and comfortable, clean and tidy, and full of childlike fun, anyway, Wang liked it very much.

Chen Xiuying simply stopped explaining everything and led them to the study. She took a piece of paper and wrote down all the steps one by one. Then, she asked them to copy it themselves. After all, everyone could read, so if they didn't understand something, they could just ask her.

In fact, the method she used was also copied from the ancient method of dyeing cloth. She just simplified the steps and was not afraid of it being spread out.

In the evening, everyone who went up the mountain came back. Doctor Qian dug up some medicinal herbs and wanted to prepare them as soon as possible. He even refused to eat the meal invited by Chen Xiuying, and asked Lou Ji to carry the herbs and help him send them back home.

Sisters Chen Xiuwan and Wang stayed, planning to spend more time with their parents and stay overnight before going back.

After dinner, the two old ladies, Chen's mother and Zhou's mother, seemed like different people. They announced in a heroic manner that they would also open a workshop to sell dolls designed by Zhou Sisi.

The children cheered as soon as they heard this. From now on, each of them will have a little doll of their own!

Several children and daughters-in-law also admire the courage of the two old ladies.

Wang was good at embroidery, so she asked her mother-in-law if she was hiring an embroiderer and whether she could be the one.

Mother Chen waved her hand and said, "I'm only responsible for finding sales channels. It's not my business. You should ask your Aunt Zhou."

Zhou's mother nodded in agreement. "I think it's okay, but I only plan to open a workshop in the village. Can you live here?"

Wang quickly looked at her second sister Chen Xiuying, who was of course welcoming.

Finally, Master Chen said, "It's not appropriate for our whole family to live in your second sister's house. Even if your second brother-in-law's family has no objection, what will the villagers say about your second sister?

How about this, Dajiang, you rent us the house you vacated, and your mother, Mingyuan and his family of four will move in there. We can live separately and avoid gossip."

Last time, although the old in-laws stood up for Xiuying, the family should also pay more attention and not always hold the child back.
