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

Zhou Dajiang couldn't help but sigh that his daughter-in-law was really thoughtful. Not only did she spend little, but the things she came up with were also of good quality.

Then he asked, "What about the other families?"

"Both Village Chief Zhang and Uncle Zhou Jiu's families have children. In addition to the four gifts, we will give each of them a set of 'King Kong Calabash Brothers' and a matching doll."

Zhou Dajiang nodded. This gift was quite nice. Books and dolls were hot commodities in the prefectural capital, and even in the capital. If you didn't know the details, you'd think this family was so generous.

Of course, Chen Xiuying didn't think so. Hadn't someone previously criticized her for only having one "money-loser"? She wanted to use this book and doll to give those people a good slap in the face. "Is your money-loser so capable?" she asked. "Why don't you give one to someone else and try?"

She, Chen Xiuying, is the one who specializes in slapping people in the face!

"What about your master and Manager Chen?" Zhou Dajiang was curious and wanted to find out all his wife's thoughts in one go.

Of course, Chen Xiuying cooperated with him. After all, he was the one delivering the gifts, so at most she would have to go to the master herself. Telling him earlier would also help him prepare his speech earlier, which was also good.

"While Shopkeeper Chen is a gourmet, people are used to vegetables, bacon, chili oil, and the like, so I won't give them to you. I'm going to give you a steamed cake, a 'One Rabbit, Three Dishes' box, twenty toothbrushes, two sets of books and two sets of dolls for the girl, and a selection of the various cakes you bought."

Zhou Dajiang was puzzled. "What is the 'One Rabbit, Three Meals' box?"

"It's a rabbit cooked three ways: spicy rabbit head, cold rabbit, and fragrant braised rabbit legs. The box was a return gift from Aunt Cheng in the prefecture. I thought the box was quite nice, so I put the candied fruit inside in something else. The box is now empty and perfect for the rabbit meat."

"That's a good idea. If Shopkeeper Chen hadn't eaten the rabbit head, he might even come back to buy you a house. Not bad! But the picture album and dolls may not be useful to him."

"If you don't need it, just give it as a gift! Our gifts are not shabby, and people outside are vying for them. He has such a wide range of friends, how could he not know about it? Wouldn't it be useful to give it to a family with children?" Chen Xiuying took every aspect into consideration.

Zhou Dajiang nodded, "That's right, what about Uncle Wu's family and your master's place?"

"Uncle Wu's family and the village head's family are cousins, so it's better to give the same gift.

I'm planning to go to Master's place myself. He's a big foodie, so I'm going to give him a steamed cake, a 'One Rabbit, Three Dishes' box, two jars of Bamboo Leaf Green, a pair of rabbit fur knee pads for him and his wife, another serving of greens, 20 toothbrushes, a kitchen set, and a meat grinder. He has kids at home, so I'm going to give him a set of 'Amazing Animal Kingdom' and a doll.

The master's family has both a master-disciple relationship and a life-saving debt, so naturally they are closer than any other family.

"Can you handle so many rabbit fur knee pads?" Zhou Dajiang was worried that his wife would be too busy.

"It's already been prepared, why would I rush to sew it now?"

Then, Chen Xiuying said, "You have to go to the factory this afternoon and buy the things I mentioned. My eldest sister and third sister will come over for the New Year, so prepare some for them.

In the next two days, I'll go up the mountain with Lou Ji and the others to catch a few rabbits. We need them as gifts and for cooking on New Year's Eve. The more the better. If we can't catch any, I'll go find my sister-in-law to buy some. It'll take a day to prepare, and we have to give out the New Year gifts on the 28th."

Zhou Dajiang stood up quickly after she reminded him. "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I still have the order for the wire rings. I'll stop by the factory."

He was so busy that he almost forgot about the order.

When he went out and saw Lou Ji, he remembered what his wife said, so he told him that when he came back from the factory, he would go to the mountains with him to catch rabbits.

Lou Ji and Zhou Dajiang had already caught rabbits on the nearby hills, so if they wanted to catch rabbits again, they would have to go deep into the mountains. Lou Ji didn't need Zhou Dajiang to go, so he just let him do what he needed to do. It just so happened that the four of them went to the mountains every day, so they could do it.

Zhou Dajiang was also happy to have some free time, nodded in agreement, and ran off to the factory. He had to run, as he had left in a hurry and was a little underdressed, and he was too lazy to go back and put on some clothes, so he just ran over.

Xue Jin and Ma Lin were overjoyed when they saw Zhou Dajiang coming to the factory. "We were just looking for you, but you're here."

"What do you want from me? Is there something wrong?" Zhou Dajiang asked in confusion.

Xue Jin scratched his head, "It's the end of the year now, we plan to start the festival on the 28th and give out some gifts to everyone.

"I originally wanted to give out some rice, flour, oil, or something, but if I gave out too little, it wouldn't be enough. If I gave out too much, it would be too much trouble. I'm really worried about what to give out." They're a small, newly established factory, and if they give out too much, they can't afford it. If they give out too little, it won't look good during the Chinese New Year, which is really worrying.

This was child's play for Zhou Dajiang. "What's the big deal? It's not that difficult. If you put too much rice, flour and oil in, it will become a finished product!"

During the Chinese New Year, every family steams buns. Ask the kitchen to make more flour for steaming buns, and then give each person a box. Then divide our toothbrushes into several pieces and give out a kitchen set. There are also wire rings. Buy some paper and cut them into small notebooks. Give each person two small notebooks, and all four things are complete.

Don’t be fooled by the small amount of items. Aside from the steamed buns, the other items are not available elsewhere, and even if you do buy them, they’re not cheap. This is both high-end and inexpensive.”

After Zhou Dajiang's explanation, it really was quite easy. Xue Jin and Ma Lin also suddenly understood. That's right, why hadn't they thought of this? This was a great idea. Our own products were rare outside, and the cost was low. It would save money and be something we could sell. That's it!

Ma Lin immediately made arrangements. Since the work shifts became two-shift work, two more cooks were hired to make dough and steam buns day and night, and they were almost finished before the holiday.

Each person will get six toothbrushes and a kitchen set. I'll go to town to buy white paper tomorrow, as well as a hole punch. Once I ask the assembly workshop to transfer two people, the notebook will be ready in the afternoon.

After the holiday gift arrangements were completed, Ma Lin felt noticeably more relaxed. Originally, Xue Ren was in charge of logistics, but now he'd been assigned to supervise the construction site, so all the responsibilities fell on him. Fortunately, thanks to Zhou Dajiang, the situation was successfully resolved this time.

As for Zhou Dajiang, after he finished talking about the holiday gift, he was afraid that he would forget the order again, so he quickly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Xue Jin, saying, "I took another order when I went to the capital this time. They want an additional 5,000 wire rings, and they want them shipped out as soon as possible. Here, this is the contract."

Xue Jin was just thinking about staying at home for a few more days during the holiday, but when Zhou Dajiang took out the contract, he didn't know what to think.

Zhou Dahe, who works in the blacksmith workshop, always complains that there is too much work in his workshop. If another 5,000 pieces of work are added, he will be furious!

You don't want to accept it, but you feel sorry for the money. After all, who can resist money? If you don't accept the money given to you, aren't you stupid?

He was also cunning, thinking that while Zhou Dajiang was around, he would call people over. Zhou Dajiang would not flirt with Juezi in front of his brother, right?

So, someone called Zhou Dahe over.

When Zhou Dahe saw his second brother coming, he didn't react much. He called him "Second Brother" and asked Xue Jin what he wanted to see him about.

He is still busy over there. He has to deliver the wire rings after the New Year. Who has time to waste here?

Xue Jin said nothing, but pushed the paper forward. "Here, another deed."

Zhou Dahe had been so overwhelmed by orders these past two days that he didn't feel anything at all. He reached out to take it and asked, "What's this contract?"
