In the evening, Li Lan saw that everyone had finished their meal and put down their bowls and chopsticks. He cleared his throat and said, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, I'm going to do some work to earn some money."

As soon as the words fell, Li Chunping excitedly said: "Great, this is a good thing. What do you need Dad to do?"

"And I."

"Sister, there's me."

Li Hang and Li Run also rushed to speak.

Seeing everyone's excitement, Li Lan smiled and said, "I plan to set up a furniture factory with Mr. Youtian. We will use 30% of the profits for village construction and give 20% to Mr. Youtian. What do you think?"

"Of course. This way, not only can we earn money, but the village will also develop better and better."

"That's right, Chunping is right. This way we can stay in this village for a long time. After all, this is our root."

"Okay, since grandma agrees, let's get started. Mom, how much money do we have now?"

After hearing her words, Zhang thought for a moment and said, "We still have about 80 taels of silver at home."

"Is that enough? No, I still have 70 taels. Last time your fourth uncle came back, I gave him more than 10 taels."

"Madam, I have some too. I've saved about 100 taels over the past few years."

"I have some, ma'am. I have less than on Saturday, about 30 taels. I have a rhinitis (qiu qiu) and I have to buy medicine frequently."

After saying this on Friday, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Do you have a runny nose? I have medicine here. If you believe in it, you can try it. It may not cure it, but it will definitely relieve the symptoms. It's also easy to use."

When Zhou Wu heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Madam, I'm willing to give it a try."

"Okay, I'll give it to you later."

"Miss, the three of us together have 200 taels."

"Sister, I have saved some money too. I have 15 cents."

Li Run looked at everyone, rolled his eyes, and said nothing.

"Okay, then consider it your investment in me. When I make money, I'll distribute the profits to everyone in proportion."

"That's great! Maybe we can make several times the money we earned."

When everyone heard what Zhang said, they all burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, Mom. I promise to double your money. Grandma, I think we should not build the house over there for Fourth Uncle yet. When we earn some money, we can build a big house with blue bricks and tiles together."

"Yes, mother. The eldest girl is right. We can build two more rooms here so that we can accommodate them."

"Yes, mother, listen to the eldest girl."

Mrs. Wang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do as the eldest girl says."

"Okay, then let's work together and make money together. Grandma, Mom, I need to work on something soon. Once I finish it, you two have to help me."

"That's fine. Your mother and I don't have much to do except the work in the fields. We feel refreshed when we have work to do."

"Sister, what about me?" Li Hang said quickly when he saw that everyone had made arrangements.

"You and my younger brother will go to school. Tomorrow I will take you to Grandpa Li's house to learn first. After a while, when the school is built, you can go to the village school."

"But, sister, I don't want to go to school. I want to help you."

After hearing his words, Li Lan rubbed the fine hair on his head and said softly, "Big brother, I know you want to help me. Although Fourth Uncle has enlightened us all, it is limited after all. Don't you want to be my support in the future?"

"I want to be my sister's support."

"I also want to be my sister's support."

Looking at the two children, their faces serious and their eyes determined, Li Lan's eyes reddened, his nose slightly sore, and he choked up a little, "Okay."

After a while, everyone left the hall one after another. Li Lan, who had reached the door, suddenly said:

"Li Zhong, Li Liang, I'll take you somewhere tomorrow and teach you a craft."

"Yes, girl."

……

Here, Li Run stood at the door of the main hall, looking around. Seeing Li Lan coming out, he hurriedly whispered, "Sister, sister, come here quickly."

Li Lan chuckled at his sneaky look. Just as she walked up to him, something soft was stuffed into her hand. In the moonlight, she found it was a small purse. Her eyes flashed slightly.

"Sister, this is 10 cents I secretly saved. I'm giving it to you. You don't have to give me any dividends, and don't tell mother."

"it is good."

Watching Li Run's back running away, Li Lan stood there for a long moment, unable to recover. After a long pause, she took a deep breath, looked up at the half-moon in the sky, and sighed: The warmth and love that eluded me in my last life, I now have in this one. The word "family" is as precious as a treasure.

"Madam, this is a letter from the young master to you."

Friday's words brought her back from her wandering thoughts.

"Okay. Tomorrow morning, Friday, remember to go to the village chief's house and accompany him to the county government office."

"Yes, ma'am."

Li Lan took the letter from him and returned to the house. Late at night, seeing that Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhang were both fast asleep, she entered the space farm. Looking at the fruit trees laden with fruit, she reached out and plucked an apple, wiped it on her clothes, and began to chew on it. As she chewed, she took out Zhou Yuntian's letter and slowly read it.

The letter said he had requested an imperial decree from Emperor Huide to grant her a reward, and that she would likely be in Lijia Village in the next few days. He also mentioned that his promotion of the ram pump had been very successful, and asked her to visit Bozhou Prefecture in the near future to give him a detailed explanation of the ram pump. If she had any other rare items, she could bring them along. He also said he missed her, adding sweet nothings like "a day without you feels like a long time..."

Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile, and the corners of his mouth turned up. He thought to himself: Zhou Yuntian, you can't judge a person by his appearance.

"Xiaobao, how many merit points do I have now?"

"Host, there are merit points. After deducting the five furniture making drawings and the making methods of soap, perfumed soap, and face soap you took earlier, there are still..."

“Is the production method so expensive?”

"It's not expensive, host. If you buy the product, it will be more expensive, but the recipe can be given away for free."

"Oh, you guys really know how to do business."

This time, Xiaobao remained silent. Based on its understanding of its host, silence was the best solution at the moment.

Early the next morning, Li Lan took Li Zhong and Li Liang to Li Youtian's house.

"Mr. Arita."

"Miss Lan is here, come in quickly."

Mrs. Wu shouted in the yard and came forward with a smile.

The yard was full of wood and bamboo. Li Youtian walked out from behind a pile of wood and dusted off the wood chips on his body.

"Let's go to the main room."

"Okay, Master Arita."

After they sat down in the main hall, Li Lan said, "Master Youtian, these are Li Zhong and Li Liang. They've been helping us out here for a while."

Li Youtian looked at the two people sitting next to her and said excitedly, "Okay, stay here at night from now on. I have an extra room here."

"What do you think?"

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Master Youtian, please make one of the furniture designs I gave you yesterday. I will take it to the capital in two days."

"Okay, I understand. I've asked the village chief to help with the carpenter's matter in our village, and I've also asked him to talk to other villages."

"Okay, Arita-sama. Thank you for your hard work."
