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

Chen's mother also agreed with her old man's words. She said to Chen Xiuying, "Your father is right. Your father and I living with you shows your filial piety. But if Mingyuan and Wang move in together, it would be too inappropriate. It just so happens that the room over there is vacant, so it's perfect for us to move in."

Chen Xiuying was about to say something to persuade her to stay, but her mother stopped her with a wave of her hand. "It's settled. Wang, is your mother feeling better now?"

Wang: "I'm already recovered."

"Then you and Mingyuan can move your things over here tomorrow. Your father and I will stay in the new room tonight, and then we'll move in next door together tomorrow."

Turning to Xiuying, he said, "I know you want us to live here, but there's no need. Your father and I are both old and it doesn't matter where we live. When we've had enough of living here, we can stay in your house for a few days. It's not far away anyway, just a short walk away."

Zhou Dajiang understood his mother-in-law's thoughts very well. Didn't his own mother also not want to live with him? Just let them be.

Zhou's mother also said to Zhou Dajiang: "I also know what you are thinking. You two are filial children. We, the elders, also know this. While we are still strong, you can be filial if you are free to live with us.

Besides, we have to eat and drink a lot. Since you moved back, I haven't eaten home-cooked meals many times. In the future, when you make something delicious, just give us a shout and we'll come over to eat!"

Mother Chen also agreed: "That's right, just lift your legs and come over, without delaying anything."

After hearing what her mother and mother-in-law said, Chen Xiuying could no longer say anything even if she had something to say. If she didn't let them be free, she would be unfilial, so she stopped worrying about it.

The problem of moving was solved, and Wang was very happy. It was great to be able to make money as soon as she came here! Now she looked at Zhou Sisi as if she was looking at a little god of wealth. How could this little brain of hers be so smart? She could make money by just thinking of something. In her eyes, even her own son was not as important as Zhou Sisi.

Li also wanted to join in, but her family was about to build a house, and she wanted to ask her elder and second sisters-in-law to help her, so she had no time to do needlework.

Chen Xiuying and Zhang also knew what Li was thinking, but they didn't say a word.

Chen's mother and Zhou's mother began to discuss the name of the workshop. Zhou's mother said, "How about 'Zhou's Embroidery Workshop'?" But Chen's mother thought it was not unique enough.

We don't do any other needlework, so if we give it this name, people will think we do all kinds of work.

Finally, Zhou Sisi suggested: "Why not call it 'Zhou's Puppet Workshop'? It sounds friendly and easy to remember." Everyone agreed, and so "Zhou's Puppet Workshop" was decided.

Now that the name has been decided, we still need a place to work. The two old ladies began to discuss whether to work at your house or at my house.

At this time, Chen Xiuying continued, "You guys are just starting out, so you don't necessarily need a fixed place. The house you rent has two side rooms, so you can temporarily use one as a warehouse and the other as a workshop.

First, teach the embroiderer how to read the pattern. Those who can do this job are very clever and skillful. They may remember most of it after reading it once. After learning, you can take it home and make it yourself. Just don't get the doll dirty.

Zhou Dajiang added, "I'll draft a labor contract for you. All workers will sign it and put their fingerprints on it. They are not allowed to take the blueprints or sell the dolls. Otherwise, they will be fined 100 times and handed over to the authorities. This will prevent leaks."

Zhou Sisi also interjected, "Signing the contract alone won't prevent imitation by outside embroidery workshops. Otherwise, we should design a unique stitching method or apply an anti-counterfeiting treatment. This anti-counterfeiting treatment will be done by our own family in the final stage."

Wang raised her hand and said, "Well, I know a stitch that was passed down from my ancestors. I can use that stitch to sew the name of our workshop."

Chen Xiuying: "Needlework alone isn't enough. We'd better number the dolls so that each one is unique. We can also create a booklet and clearly mark who made each numbered doll. If there's a problem, we can find the person who made it."

Zhou Dajiang added, "Then add a number under the workshop name. Sisi, didn't you say before that you drew some symbols as numbers? Show them out and let everyone learn from them. That way, others won't know what they mean, and even if they imitate them, it will be meaningless."

Zhou Sisi was stunned when she was called out. What kind of symbol is this? What the hell is this?

They still have to be a couple. Chen Xiuying patted Zhou Sisi on the back and said, "Didn't you name it "Arabic Numerals" before?"

Zhou Sisi suddenly realized, "Ah, this, wait, I'll get it!"

After saying that, he ran to another study, quickly wrote the ten numbers 0-9 with a brush, and then ran back.

"I don't know where I put the previous one, but I remember the shape. This is a new one. As long as we learn these numbers, we can combine them to form any number, tens of thousands are no problem."

This is really a case of one person's shortcomings being surpassed by two people's strengths, and three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Several people added one sentence each, and the points that should be paid attention to were all thought of. Once these Arabic numerals were released, they must be anti-counterfeiting, after all, this thing did not exist in this dynasty.

After Zhou Sisi showed everyone Arabic numerals, she began to teach them how to write them. Everyone learned quickly and mastered it in a short time.

Then, Zhou Dajiang took out a piece of paper, wrote "Zhou's Puppet Workshop" on it, and wrote a string of numbers below it - "001".

"Great, great! This way, our puppets will have a unique logo." Wang nodded. This is double protection!

Chen Xiuwan and Chen Xiuwei watched everyone brainstorming for the workshop and couldn't help but wonder if they were nearby, they could join in. Unfortunately, they were too far away.

The next day, after seeing off Chen Xiuwan and her sister, Wang and Chen Mingyuan returned to their parents' home to unload their belongings. Chen Mingyuan delivered his and Wang's belongings, and he himself packed up his belongings and went to the private school to stay. He had no choice but to not get up so early.

With the help of their daughter and son-in-law, Chen's mother and Mr. Chen also moved into a rented house.

The next few days were busy for both the Chen and Zhou families. Chen Xiuying helped Zhou's mother purchase fabrics and other materials, as well as recruit workers.

They found three skilled young wives in the village, and together with Wang, they formed a small processing team. Chen's mother was responsible for teaching everyone sewing techniques.

Sisi helped design more patterns and compiled a picture album of the patterns she drew.

Everything went very smoothly. After everything was ready, the small workshop officially started operation.

When the villagers heard that the two elderly people were going to make dolls for sale, they were very curious and came to watch. Seeing the cute dolls, everyone praised them highly and said that if the price was reasonable, they would buy them for their own children.

In response, Zhou's mother stated that she was only responsible for production and sales were not her responsibility.

Chen's mother didn't know many people in the village, so no one asked about it. However, there were some families who spoiled their children and kept a close eye on the Chen family's movements.
