Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Early the next morning.

As winter approaches, I am no longer used to washing my face with cold water when I wake up. I have to heat it up, otherwise I will feel cold to the bones.

There is not much work to do in the fields now, and the main focus in the next period of time is to prepare for winter. In addition to repairing the house, we will also go up the mountain to chop firewood for charcoal, and store some other winter vegetables when we have nothing to do.

In order to have a better life in winter, some young and middle-aged people would take advantage of this free time to go to the town to find some work and earn some money.

Qin Li had just returned and rested for a day when he led his men to continue transporting wool. He had to bring back as much wool as possible before the weather got too cold.

The work of chopping wood and making charcoal at home fell into the hands of Awen and Ning Zigui. Sometimes when Wang Ze came, he would bring Lai Fu to work with them.

In addition to burning firewood for cooking and heating in winter, we also need to heat the kang, so the more dry firewood the better. Now when a few people have nothing to do, they run to the mountains and the firewood they cut fills up the woodshed.

During her free time, Yun Zhenzhen asked for everyone's opinions: "Now our family is planning to build a workshop. Let's all help think of a name for the woolen workshop and then carve a sign to hang on it."

This question stumped several people. After all, they were still children and had never given any advice on such a big matter.

Yun Jing gave everyone an example: "How about calling it Yun Family Textiles?"

Xiao Nan immediately nodded in agreement: "I think it's okay. Using my mother's last name is clear and concise."

"Huh~" Wang Ze shook his head in disapproval and said bluntly, "This name is so vulgar. I remember there are several families with this name in the county."

"Why don't we call it Qinyun Textile? Our surnames are both in it." Awen said excitedly.

"I think it's okay." Yun Zhenzhen said with a smile: "Let's decide on this name for now, and we'll decide if there are any changes later."

Afterwards, Yun Zhenzhen called Awen and said, "Go ask around in the village and see if anyone has extra adobe bricks. We can buy them."

There was a large empty yard not far from her home in the village that no one lived in. When the time came, she could clean it up, repair the roof and walls with adobe bricks, and knock down the bricks between the rooms to form a large, spacious room.

She was afraid that there wouldn't be enough time to rebuild it now. Although the place was a bit shabby and not very nice, it was completely usable.

The main room inside is also very spacious. After it is connected, it can accommodate five or six tables and can accommodate dozens of people to work.

When the time comes, I will build a small warehouse in the backyard to store small items for daily use.

After they built a new house last time, they still had a few thousand adobe bricks left at home, but it was definitely not enough to repair a large workshop.

"Okay! I'll be there right away." Awen didn't ask any more questions. After all, his mother had her reasons for doing so, so he just had to do it.

"After buying the adobe bricks, go talk to your grandparents and ask them to help find some reliable men to come and repair the workshop. It's best if they have helped before. The salary is still twenty cents a day. Try to find more people and finish it within a few days." Yun Zhenzhen said lightly.

Awen suppressed his inner excitement and nodded, then walked out of the yard.

The villagers have the habit of saving adobe bricks, and every household has some. It is almost winter now, and it is definitely impossible to build a house. They can just buy some for their family use.

Since we are planning to set up a workshop, we will need some tables, chairs and benches.

Yun Zhenzhen took some time to go to the next village and asked the carpenter who worked with her to order five tables, twelve benches, and several large basins for washing wool.

Now it is approaching winter and the carpenter's business is very bad. Suddenly such a big order came in. The carpenter was very happy and promised that he would do it well and deliver it to their home on time.

As for the knitting needles and spindles, after returning, Yun Zhenzhen went to the old house again and asked Old Man Qin to help make a dozen of them, so that everyone would have one.

Yun Jing had been following her around everywhere. After calculating the cost of this set and adding the cost of buying wool, he felt a little distressed.

However, he knew that as long as the blanket could be sold successfully, he would get his money back immediately, so he let it go.

After arriving home, she went back into the house to draw a trademark.

In modern times, if you want to sell a kind of clothing, you must build a good brand name and increase its popularity so that you can go a long way.

She picked up the brush and wrote four words on the paper: "Qinyun Cloth Spinning!"

Finally, he drew a cloud symbol on the paper as Qin Yun's cloud.

She looked at her painting and notes, expressing her satisfaction, and casually called Yun Jing: "Brother Jing, come here quickly."

When he was not in school, Yun Jing would be in the room preparing for exams and reading books. When he heard Yun Zhenzhen's voice, he put down his books and walked out.

He saw the four crooked words on the paper and the unsightly flower, silently looked away, and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

My aunt can do everything, but her calligraphy is a bit ugly, not even as good as that of a three-year-old child.

But my aunt has never been to school, but she can write so many words, which is already more amazing than many women.

Yun Zhenzhen knew this, but in modern times people are used to writing with a hard pen, and the brush feels soft in the hand. She has already put in all her knowledge to write a few traditional Chinese characters.

She pushed the things towards Yun Jing and said, "Brother Jing, please rewrite the words I wrote and also draw the logo next to them."

"it is good!"

Yun Jing always takes everything her aunt asks her to do seriously and with utmost care.

He spread out the paper, thought seriously for a moment, and after concentrating, began to write stroke by stroke.

He divided the four characters into two characters each, and the cloud representing Yun Zhenzhen was located diagonally above the four characters. It was clearly just a few simple black lines, but after he wrote and outlined it like this, it inexplicably became majestic.

"Brother Jing, you wrote really well. I was right about you."

When Yun Zhenzhen saw the final product, her eyes lit up. This was exactly the feeling she wanted, and Yun Jing expressed it in every stroke of his brush.

When the sweaters are finished, she will make sure everyone knits this picture into the last corner.

In just a short period of time, Awen was very efficient in her work. Many people in the village had already delivered their adobe bricks. She asked Xiaonan to bring paper and pen to help count and settle the wages on site.

There were a lot of adobe bricks sent by every household in the village, plus about 20,000 to 30,000 bricks kept by themselves. They were all piled up in the corner of the yard, which was definitely enough for repairs.

It just so happened that most of the aunts in the village had come over at this moment. Yun Zhenzhen wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to distribute the wool that had just been brought back to everyone and sell it to them at cost price.
