Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Because there were many men, women, young and old getting off the bus, the woman with poor speaking skills felt uneasy, while the sweet-talking one praised Shen Lingzhu and her senior sister in various ways after meeting her aunt.

She could only hear countless birds chirping in her ears. Amidst the chirping, she tugged at the hem of her senior sister's clothes and said, "Auntie is with Aunt Nine. Can we leave for a while?"

"You want to know what happened from big brother as soon as possible." Shen Miaozhu didn't want to accompany the guests and be awkwardly praised.

So I found an excuse to cook for everyone and told my aunt about it, then took my junior sister away.

In the courtyard, when the eldest uncle was talking with the Chang family, his second grandfather, third grandfather and several uncles were sitting next to him.

It was already evening, and people must have been returning from work or from the clan saying that many people had come to the Chang family.

At this moment, my uncle was sitting between the two families, surrounded by everyone like the moon surrounded by stars.

As Shen Lingzhu walked towards the kitchen, she signaled to her eldest brother to come as well.

Soon, the three siblings met in the kitchen. She couldn't wait to ask what happened, because not only did the Chang family have more than ten people coming, but they also brought a lot of millet, wheat, walnuts, etc.

There were even pickled goods and furs, and they were told that they would use them first and be sent back later.

what happened?

Shen Xianzhu told his two younger sisters everything, and they then realized that the talisman was drawn by the Chang family.

"My uncle is so awesome. He found the culprit quietly, and made the Chang family surrender in no time." Shen Lingzhu has been concentrating on making money recently. Her uncle occasionally goes out to the village in the evening, and she has no time to ask him questions.

She asked, "What if we go to the old house to pay tribute to our former home? My uncle will feel bad."

Unexpectedly, they went there to investigate privately, and wherever they went, there would be traces. Even if the Chang family went to the village entrance to draw talismans at night, their whereabouts would be exposed during the day and they would be seen.

"Dad was once the head of the Ministry of Works, and he had several Jinshi (Jinshi) officials under him.

Sometimes he went to other places to supervise construction work and manage hundreds or even thousands of craftsmen.

A few old men who had never left the county could easily do it." Shen Xianzhu raised his chin with pride.

Shen Lingzhu also quite agreed, but her focus shifted immediately: "It's a pity that the fifty acres of land were not allocated to us."

"It's hard to get something back once you've given it away, especially since it's the lifeblood of a farmer." Land had always been an important means of production for the ancients. Shen Miaozhu asked him if the five young men who came with luggage were going to stay permanently.

Shen Xianzhu nodded and said softly that a young man from the Chang family was coming to be an apprentice, and would be paid 100 coins a month with food and lodging.

Being far away from home, they couldn't go home every day like the young men from the Shen and Huang families, who had to eat all three meals at home, which accounted for the majority of their expenses.

The little brats are eating their father out of money, otherwise why did the uncle only provide three free meals to the three uncles at the beginning, and only provide one meal at noon for the teenagers.

Even so, the food supply at home is running out very quickly, and we will need to replenish it soon.

Now there are five more mouths to feed. Senior sister goes to Qixing Temple to buy herbs every five days, and then has to cook when she comes back.

She began to worry: "Cooking for so many people takes up a lot of time.

How about asking Aunt Jiu to cook for everyone so we can free up our hands to do the work? "

Anyway, it won’t affect anything if I pay one more fee, right?

"Will Third Grandma agree?" Shen Xianzhu naturally didn't want his two younger sisters to hang around the stove all day.

Shen Miaozhu: "If you pay her, she will be willing."

"Come, let me show you something." She invited him to sit in front of the stove and took out a bamboo chair that was a few inches in size and had a strange appearance from the wall.

Shen Lingzhu took it and placed it on the stove. She stretched out her hand and exerted a little force, and the several-inch-long bamboo chair swayed back and forth like a cradle.

She said, "Brother, how about we make this and sell it?"

Shen Xianzhu denied it: "It's too small, no one would buy it for fun."

She continued, "How about if you magnify it several times and make it the size of a chaise longue?"

"It will definitely sell well, and it's faster to make than a bellows, with fewer steps." Shen Miaozhu glanced at the young men in the yard.

Three of them were a little timid, but the other two were not nervous at all and would look around the yard from time to time.

She happened to be short of manpower. Compared with the five people from the Shen family, the skin of these young men looked darker and rougher, and they were more robust, looking like they were used to doing work.

Moreover, my uncle is quite good at this, which is a good opportunity for the young men from the three families to compete with each other.

She said, "Brother, please say something good about us to uncle later."

"As long as I can sell it, I will definitely tell you. You don't know, after finishing Fourth Uncle's business, the silver we brought with us was almost all spent."

He thought that the Chang family dared to quote high prices for everything, but his father didn't care too much.

The three siblings were discussing ideas on how to make money faster when they heard the two old men in the yard arguing.

After a while, the sound died down again. Shen Lingzhu lay down beside the door and listened carefully, and then he heard them competing to build a house for their own family.

She was a little skeptical, "Do they really have that much money to build it?"

Shen Miaozhu smiled and said that it must not be the old house she was thinking of.

Shen Lingzhu wanted to know how to cover it, so he carried a large tray of tea to his uncle, just like his elder brother.

After secretly listening for a long time, she finally understood that when Second Grandpa learned that the Chang family's children had also come to be apprentices and that they had sent them a lot of food, he immediately said that he could not let the children have no place to live.

They planned to find young and strong people in the tribe to make adobe bricks so that they could build it as soon as possible.

The Chang family was not far behind and said they wanted to stay and help.

The uncle immediately declined their offer, saying, "There's room for five children."

Then he leaned over and patted her head, "Go get some dried mugwort and put it in the car. After dinner, we can take everyone to the clan school to stay overnight."

Shen Lingzhu looked at his second and third grandfathers and found that they both shook their heads at him and told him not to speak.

She smiled and said, “I think it would be nice to build a few adobe houses.

You can even build a bigger one specifically for carpentry work, so you don’t have to worry about getting wet when it rains.”

Speaking of which, the temperature has been rising in the past half month, and the humid and hot atmosphere has reappeared, so it is very likely to rain.

You can’t put wooden boards in all the sleeping rooms in your home.

She said, "How about we pay for our own meals and buy the clay bricks?"

The elders on both sides thought about it and they all wanted to get closer to Shen Huai.

Shen Huai pondered for a long time, and when the elders thought he was not going to say anything, he said, "We should add some rooms.

No rush, wait until the 19th Market is over in two days, then find a good day to start construction."

When he stood up to take the Chang family to the clan school, the second grandfather couldn’t help but say, “It’s now called the Xia Family School.

"Except for the looms and cloth, everything else will be handed over to Xia Tongsheng." But he couldn't tell the details in front of the Chang family.

Shen Huai blinked, and after making sure he had heard correctly, he continued, "Then let's stay at the Qixing Temple.

You don't need to set up a separate stove to cook. While it's still light, I'll take you all to the Taoist temple for a vegetarian meal."

Shen Lingzhu couldn't let him go to the Chang family alone, so she immediately turned to look for her senior sister: "We all have no objection, will uncle be too sad?"

"It's better to be sad than to lose money." As soon as Shen Miaozhu finished speaking, she saw her uncle standing at the door.

Shen Huai smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not sad, just a little disappointed. You didn't even keep the things that your grandmother passed down."

Shen Lingzhu immediately comforted him: "Don't be afraid, uncle. We will make a lot of money in the future and buy it back."

She showed the rocking chair model to Shen Huai for a closer look, and the latter was immediately attracted by the small chair.
