Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around
Chapter 308 Guoguo visits uncle to show concern
New fashionable clothes hit the shelves and sold out. They were rushing to make autumn clothes. Guoguo's hot pot restaurant was almost finished. That day, Guoguo went to her uncle's house. Guoguo was pushing a stroller with five little kids in it. They were all dressed in the same bright red brocade clothes. The only difference was that one had hair like a grown man, tied with a yellow satin scarf, as if to tell everyone I was an adult! The other four were dressed like children, adorable little kids in delicate, delicate designs. This street was full of nobles and high-ranking officials living there. Fortunately, Guoguo's destination wasn't far away, otherwise there would have been a lot of onlookers. It was so beautiful. All the way to the Li Mansion, Zuo Xiaoqian came out to greet them, saying, "Guoguo, you're here! Come on in! The kids can't stand the heat." Guoguo said, "It's okay, we won't be far." With that, the two of them pushed the kids inside. They lifted the stroller up the steps, with the help of the gatekeeper. Zuo Xiaoqian and Guoguo refused to let her lift them. Guoguo looked at her belly and said, "She's almost due!" Zuo Xiaoqian replied, "Soon. The midwives have moved in. We've found two." Guoguo added, "I'll ask Chen Jun to come back."
After entering, Ma Xiaohong ran out, saying, "My precious grandchildren are here! Come inside!" They entered the large living room. Zuo Xiaoqian ordered tea and milk tea, which Huangbao drank. Zuo Xiaoqian asked, "What do you want the little ones to eat?" "Auntie, they just ate at home. They don't need to eat now. Sit down and rest." The little ones were all able to walk, and when the car stopped, the little ones, unable to sit still, stood up, crossed their legs, and scrambled out. Guoguo hurriedly called out, "Wait, Mommy's going to carry you out. Be good!" "Mommy, mommy, mommy, we're all good children and we'll be good!" the four little ones said in unison, like well-trained soldiers.
Zuo Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Guoguo, you've done a lot of work, and you've accomplished a lot. Raising five children at once. You're the youngest in your generation, but you're the first to get married and have the most children. Your aunt is so jealous! The babies are so adorable! They're all about the same height. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were quintuplets. It's just that Huangbao's hair is tied differently, so if they were the same, hehe." Guoguo said, "I'd like to do that, too, but Huangbao doesn't want to! If they were dressed the same, they'd look like quintuplets." Guoguo thought to herself, considering their two-year age difference, they looked the same. "Next time, I'll dress them the same, and anyone who asks, I'll just say they're quintuplets." Hahaha! Hahaha! Ma Xiaohong is the elder, so she approves of any way the children dress; they look the same. It's just that Huangbao looks childish and sensible! Huangbao was so happy to hear his great-grandmother praise him, and he felt so happy. "I just look like a big brother!" Humph! He raised his head! He glanced at his mother, then turned his head! Off to see his younger siblings!
Zuo Xiaoqian looked at the child and then at Guoguo, smiled, and asked, "Guoguo, is there anything wrong?" "Aunt is really smart. She wants my uncle to make something for me. I'll wait for my uncle to talk to me." Zuo Xiaoqian said very straightforwardly, "I'll ask someone to call him back. It will be midnight when he comes back."
Guoguo said "hmm". After a while, Li Dong came back on horseback, and as soon as he entered the room, he said, "Guoguo, what do you want to see your uncle for?" Guoguo looked at his uncle's hurried look and said, "Don't worry, sit down and have some tea first." Li Dong sat down and drank the tea slowly, and then Guoguo took out the blueprints and gave them to Li Dong. Li Dong looked at each blueprint, and Guoguo said, "These are the tables and stools that will be used in the hot pot city. Let your uncle make them. The hot pot city will be built in two months, and the tables need to be made in advance. As for the windows and doors, your uncle needs to check the size with Lord Xue Zhi before making them. This batch of work is not small, so your uncle needs to start early." "Okay, I'll take a look at the blueprints first. If you don't understand anything, please tell me first." Guoguo said, "It's a round table that will be placed in a single large room. There are small ones for two, three, and four people, so the tables are made in different sizes and shapes, and the designs are different. There are three floors in total, and there is a lot of wood. Li Dong said, "That's not a problem. Just say a word, and we have someone special to deliver the wood. "Okay, uncle, the woodworking factory has grown to a certain scale." Li Dong was also proud and said, "Uncle's hard work over the years is not in vain." "That's right, my uncle is so smart and knowledgeable, and he is also handsome and beautiful! He must be a capable person! After finishing this batch of work, uncle wants to make money, and I have a batch of bigger jobs than this!" Li Dong listened and said yes again and again, "Okay, it's good to have work to do. My woodworking factory is very big now. Guoguo will go and have a look when you have time." "Okay, go when you have time." After reading the drawings, Li Dong asked a few questions. Guoguo explained it to Li Dong, and Li Dong understood it clearly and said, "I know, I understand. Teach me." Guoguo said again, "I remember when I was a child, when my uncle took out the first drawing, he understood it as soon as Guoguo said it, and he still does it now." "Uncle always has to study for a while at night when he is busy. Knowledge is very important." Guoguo agreed with his uncle's approach, "Things are for those who are prepared! Uncle has done a great job. "Li Dong said to Zuo Xiaoqian, "Qian, take out the silver note for Guoguo." Guoguo said, "I don't want it. That's what you earned through your own hard work. Another thing is that every family in our family must have its own independent factory with a source of income. Guoguo doesn't want your money and I won't share your dividends. This is the foundation for you to settle down and make a living in the capital. However, Guoguo wants to ask my uncle, I remember that it was you who opened the woodworking shop. Later I heard that the Ministry of Industry joined in, so how did you and the Ministry of Industry divide the dividends?" Li Dong said, "I get 30% for myself and 70% for the Ministry of Industry." Guoguo said sarcastically, "The Ministry of Industry has the nerve to ask for it!" Li Dong continued, "Most of the people were recruited by them. Although our family only brought in a dozen people, the woodworking factory is now very large, with more than a hundred people. The Ministry of Industry has sent a lot of people and the expenses are also high. Uncle's 30% profit is not a small amount." Guoguo praised, "My uncle is just good. If my uncle has any problems, just tell Guoguo and Guoguo will help you. Aunt can also open a shop and ask Guoguo for funds if she needs them. "Li Dong smiled easily and said, "Okay, actually, uncle can make it. He is living a much better life now." Zuo Xiaoqian also said, "That's good. I'm very content." Ma Xiaohong said, "Guoguo, grandma is living in heaven now. She is doing very well." Everyone in the room laughed. Guoguo asked about grandpa. Ma Xiaohong said, "Your grandpa can't sit still. He reclaims wasteland, weaves baskets, cuts brambles, and does everything. He is very old, but he has endless strength. He looks like a young man!" Hahahahahaha Guoguo laughed to death. She said, "I have to talk to grandpa and ask him to do less and let the young people do the cutting of brambles. He can't do that kind of work." Li Dong sighed and said, "Hey, I said that too. He said that there are so many people in the family who need to eat, so he can't do more!" Guoguo listened and looked at the mansion. There were not many servants. "Wait for me to talk to grandpa. Don't do anything dangerous. "Later, Guoguo divided the hot pot city into families. Grandpa, great-grandfather, grandfather, uncle, second uncle, third uncle, father, himself, the emperor, and the great grandfather and second grandfather in the hometown all had a share and each family received a dividend. The contract was made in ten copies, one for each family and dividends were paid once every six months. Only then did his grandfather forcibly stop cutting thorns and replace them with old people. They were all sent to his grandfather's home, and his grandfather wove baskets at home until...
Even after death, I was still working! Sometimes I would sell my wares in front of the government office! Guoguo said, "We'll take as many as you can get. We need more for shipping!" That's why I didn't set up a stall in front of the government office. Guoguo wanted to laugh when she said that. He never forgot his roots! A genuine commoner!
Guoguo went back home after having lunch at Li's house because the children wanted to take a nap.
Guoguo pushed the cart back home and went back to her room. She gave the children a bath with hot water, dressed them in clean clothes, and put them all to bed. Guoguo asked the servants to go downstairs and rest. She sat on the sofa and rested.
