Farming and reading family

But Zheng Fengan was right, the children grew up and they grew old.

It is no longer the time for them to rely on him for everything. Instead, it is he, an old man, who has to rely on them.

Chen Fansheng was not used to this change and felt that the child would be his for life.

Seeing no one spoke, Jiang started to cry: "I have worked hard for this family all my life..."

"That's enough!" Chen Fansheng interrupted Jiang directly. "If marrying me makes you feel so wronged..."

He paused here, and everyone held their breath, not knowing what to say next.

Jiang opened her eyes wide and forgot to cry.

Chen Fansheng finally sighed: "The children are all grown up."

What he wanted to say was: You can just leave the Chen family.

But he didn't say it.

Chen Qing and Chen Jie also breathed a sigh of relief, but Chen Jie felt conflicted and a little disappointed.

Jiang seemed to have guessed what Chen Fansheng was going to say, and she became a little gloomy, but she didn't make any more noise.

Yang was cooking inside and was relieved to hear that there was no noise outside. Now that her father and nephew lived in the Chen family, she was more cautious than before.

Chen Fansheng and Jiang returned to their caves.

Chen Qing and Chen Jie also entered the first cave.

"Go to He County tomorrow and hear what your second sister-in-law wants." Chen Qing said in a low voice.

Chen Jie was embarrassed: "With our mother being like that, even if the second sister-in-law comes back, there will definitely be another quarrel."

Chen Qing was a little uncertain, because his second brother was not at home.

If the second brother was at home, it would be easier for the couple to talk to each other.

"How about... let's wait for second brother to come back?" Chen Jie suggested.

Chen Qing wanted to, but he didn't know when his second brother would come back. After all, visiting a famous teacher was always unpredictable. If the teacher was not at home, he might have to wait for a month or so.

"Dad and mom came back separately today. I guess the villagers are already looking for Dad." Chen Qing analyzed.

"He's looking for Dad, not us." Chen Jie said and looked away.

Chen Qing knew what the third brother was thinking. He also hoped that his mother would change completely so that the family could have a more stable life in the future.

But is that possible?

My mother has been like this all her life. Now that her life is better, she feels that she has finally made it, but now she is asked to bow down to her parents. How can she bear it?

"Besides, when my second sister-in-law ignored me before, I greeted her with a smile and obeyed her in everything. Now that my second sister-in-law is talking to me nicely, I start to act arrogantly again. Isn't this just bullying those who are easy to talk to?" Chen Jie muttered in a low voice.

When Chen Qing heard Chen Jie say this, he looked up at his wife, and Yang also happened to look at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was a little embarrassed, and Yang smiled comfortingly.

"My second brother's wife is a sensible person now and will definitely handle this matter. Third brother, go and listen to your second sister-in-law's request. Maybe she already has a solution." Yang said in a low voice.

Chen Jie felt that his sister-in-law was too easy to talk to: "Okay, then I'll go there tomorrow."

Gao E took the children out to play for half a day. When they came back, Zhengyue, Ziyou and Xiaowu were already asleep. Gao E bought a lot of food and had dinner with her brother and his family.

After dinner, Gao E pulled Wu aside and said, "Your shop has never opened. Is it because you don't have money? All your money is with me."

"No, no." Wu immediately denied. "If it was really just a matter of money, my eldest sister would have given us three shops. Selling one would be enough for me now."

"What's going on?" Gao E was puzzled.

Mrs. Wu was in a dilemma: "With the current situation in He County, business is already difficult. Besides, I want to open a cloth shop, but I don't know much about it. I want to take advantage of this time to learn more about it."

After all, this is their family's future livelihood, unlike before when they just had to wait to collect rent.

Gao E nodded: "It's a good thing that you think this way."

As the two were talking, Lu Hao came back from outside, entered the main room, sat on a chair and poured himself some water.

Gao E looked at Lu Hao speechlessly.

"The house has been found, and it belongs to an old acquaintance." Lu Hao kept the secret.

"Old acquaintance?" Gao E thought she didn't have many old acquaintances in He County.

"It's that carpenter, Master An." Lu Hao said directly, "When he heard that it was you who wanted it, he offered sixty taels and he can move out anytime."

"Where will he live after he moves out?" Gao E knew Master An's situation. Could it be that he didn't want to live there and was reminded of him by his belongings?

She had also seen Master An's house, which was much better than what she had asked for, and the price of sixty taels was indeed a bargain.

"How should I know?" Lu Hao spread his hands.

"Then let's go and have a look tomorrow." Gao E thought that Master An's craftsmanship was really good.

"Okay." Lu Hao nodded.

Wu didn't know what her elder sister-in-law was thinking. She brought so many people out without saying what was going on, and bought such a small yard.

But she didn't ask, because that would seem like she didn't want her elder sister-in-law to live here. Anyway, there were few adults in her yard now.

After breakfast, Gao E asked Lei to take care of the children, and she took Peng Can and Lu Hao to find Master An.

Master An is packing his things.

In fact, even if he didn't sell this yard to Gao E, he planned to sell it to someone else. Living here sometimes made him feel that his wife was still alive.

Master An opened the door and saw Gao E, and smiled with all his strength: "Come in and take a look around."

Gao E entered the yard without looking around: "I'm naturally at ease with Master An's yard, but where does Master An plan to move to?"

Master An hadn't made up his mind yet: "I have the skills, and some of the bosses will arrange a place for me to live."

"If Master An doesn't mind, why don't you go to our village first?" Gao E suggested.

Master An looked at Gao E in confusion.

"Our village was flooded and all the houses need to be rebuilt. Carpenters will be needed at that time, and now we also have to make farm tools and other things." Gao E explained.

Master An thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this won't work for me."

"If Master An is willing, he can take in a few apprentices from our village," Gao E suggested. "We are all acquaintances, so we can look after each other."

Master An thought about it seriously and knew that the Chen couple were real people.

"If Master An is willing to stay in our village in the future, we will build a house for him when the village builds a house." Gao E continued.

She is in urgent need of all kinds of craftsmen now, whether it is the reconstruction of Baotou Village or what she plans to do in the future, all kinds of craftsmen are indispensable.

"Build a house for me?" Master An was a little unconvinced.

"Our village is now a collective, and the houses are built together. If Master An comes to our village to accept an apprentice and settle down, he will naturally have a house."

Master An had never heard of such a thing. Although he didn't quite believe it, he had nowhere else to go. "Then what about the wages..."

"Twenty cents a day." Gao E hurriedly quoted the wages and said, "I know that Master An can't afford this salary. Our village is not well off right now."

Master An's salary was indeed not this much before, but now he has a lame leg, and if there were no shortage of craftsmen in the city, it would be difficult for him to find work.
