You are unlucky and I am tough

Wei family.

It had been dark for a long time, and Cheng Shuang and the others had not returned yet. Everyone in the family was very worried.

Cheng Guqiu paced back and forth anxiously at the door, craning his neck to look at the intersection.

The sound of horse hooves was heard, and Wei Qinglang led Wei Nanxing's Black Moonlight out from the stable behind the house.

"Qinglang, where are you going?" Cheng Guqiu asked anxiously.

"I'll look along the road and see if I can find it."

Wei Qinglang jumped on his horse and said, "Maybe he got delayed by something. Don't worry too much, aunt. I'll go pick him up."

That being said, he was no less worried than Cheng Guqiu. Apart from Song Gaoshan who was driving the carriage, the rest were women and children. How could he not be worried?

The sound of horse hooves was particularly loud in the silent night. Wei Qinglang galloped all the way with worry in his heart. Halfway through, a slowly approaching carriage finally appeared.

He was delighted and rode his horse at full speed. Sure enough, he saw that the driver was Song Gaoshan, so he quickly signaled to stop.

Cheng Shuang heard the sound of horse hooves, lifted the carriage curtain and popped her head out. The moment she saw Wei Qinglang, surprise flashed in her eyes, "Why are you here? Are you coming back so late too?"

Wei Qinglang turned his horse around and said, "You haven't come back yet, and my family is worried, so I came out to see who these people are following you."

"The Lu family's guard."

Cheng Xu squeezed over and stuck his head out, "Brother-in-law, we went to the Lu Mansion to look for Yuanbao, and then Yuanbao's grandfather fell ill, and my eldest sister went to see him and was delayed. When it got dark, Aunt Lu sent someone to take us back."

Wei Qinglang looked at Cheng Shuang, "So that's how it is. Is he okay?"

"With me here, everything will be fine." Cheng Shuang lowered the car curtain and pulled Cheng Xu back to sit.

As soon as the carriage arrived home, everyone in the family ran out and anxiously asked them why they came back so late.

Cheng Shuang explained that she was delayed because she went to the Lu family for medical treatment, and then gave the guards of the Lu family a reward of two taels of silver and asked them to go back and report.

Afterwards, the family members worked together to move the things in the carriage into the house and filled the table in the main hall with them.

Cheng Guqiu was stunned, "Shuang'er, why did you buy so many things?"

Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "Today I got the first money I made from soap, and I accidentally bought too much. I bought so much that everyone who saw it could get a share. It's too much."

In addition to some household items, everyone received a number of individual gifts, including Aunt Peng and Wu Junniang. Each of them received a piece of cloth to take home and make clothes, and Song Qi received a pair of new shoes.

There was only one person sitting next to me but with nothing.

After the distribution was completed, Cheng Shuang said, "Okay, wash the new tea set and replace the old one. Put the remaining tea leaves in the cupboard. Clear the table and prepare for dinner."

Wei Qinglang saw that she really didn't buy anything for herself, so she stood up and pointed at herself, "Where's mine? Why don't I have any?"

All of a sudden, seven or eight pairs of eyes in the room turned to Cheng Shuang. She glanced at the others and didn't take it seriously. She searched among the remaining things on the table and found nothing suitable, so she took a bag of candy beans and stuffed it directly into his hand.

"Here, this is yours, eat it."

Wei Qinglang: “…..”

Didn't she just want to kiss you on impulse? This little girl is too vindictive. Others had gifts, but she just gave him a bag of candy beans.

The younger brothers and sisters were young and didn't understand, so they quickly took the gifts back to their rooms. Cheng Guqiu did notice something, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't interfere with the relationship between the younger generation and their spouses.

Dinner is also the time for family to discuss serious matters. Cheng Shuang told everyone about her cooperation with Qin Suyue and the order for 5,000 bars of soap at the dinner table.

With the current manpower, it is impossible to produce 3,000 bars of soap and 2,000 bars of shampoo soap in ten days while supplying Fu Ya Zhai. The workers who were bought back have their own work, and there is still a mountain to be cultivated after the land is planted, so they cannot be used.

After some discussion, it was decided to continue recruiting workers in the village.

If we hire ten more people, we can produce a thousand bars of soap every day, which can then be stored in the warehouse. Anyway, the longer the soap is stored, the more durable it becomes. If more people come to purchase, there will be stock.

There were also molds that needed to be made, so the two Peng brothers went to the city early in the morning to order another thousand molds from the carpenter shop they had cooperated with last time, and also to purchase lard in large quantities.

There were two bars of shampoo soap left at home, and Cheng Shuang wanted to try them out. After dinner, she filled some hot water and washed Wei Xinyi's hair in the yard, and then washed her own hair.

After washing, she felt that the effect was still very good. Although it was not as rich in foam and strong in fragrance as modern shampoos, it did not require any technology or hard work, and it washed clean enough.

Every time Cheng Shuang washed her hair before, she would ask Wei Qinglang to take her into the space to wash it. That was convenient and she could blow her hair dry before coming out. But this time, she didn't ask him because of what happened last night.

However, when Cheng Shuang was drying her hair in the yard, she felt a little regretful. Her arms were sore from drying such long hair, and she missed her negative ion hair dryer very much.

In the room, Wei Qinglang had already entered the space and taken a shower. The ends of his hair were still slightly wet. He sat at the table and opened the bag of candy beans. He picked up one, looked at it for a while, put it in his mouth, and then ate the whole bag one by one.

When Cheng Shuang came in after drying his hair, he saw the candy wrappers on the table and stared at him curiously.

Wei Qinglang had an innocent look on his face. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You ate all these sweet candies?" Cheng Shuang blinked. "So you like sweet things?"

Wei Qinglang's mouth twitched, he was almost angry to death. He didn't like sweet things, and the candy beans were too sweet, so sweet that his throat was dry. After eating them, he drank two large glasses of water.

After living together for so long, Cheng Shuang naturally knew that he didn't like sweets, and she did it on purpose.

She suppressed the upward curve of her lips and said, "If you like it, there's more in the cabinet in the main hall. Go get some yourself. Don't take it all. Leave some for Xiao Si and the others."

After saying that, he turned around and walked inside. After entering, he did not forget to warn through the screen, "Don't come in. If you sleep in here while I'm asleep, I will get up in the middle of the night and stab you until you become paralyzed."

Wei Qinglang suddenly laughed after hearing this warning and whispered, "You can't escape anyway. Let's see how long you can escape."

Then he fell onto the small bed, covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep.

.

The water well pressurization matter needed to be monitored personally, so Wei Qinglang went out after breakfast, while Cheng Shuang was busy recruiting workers at home. She was too lazy to announce the notices to every household, so she wrote a recruitment notice and went to find Cheng Lizheng. After obtaining his consent, she posted the recruitment notice under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

Every day, people would come under the big locust tree to enjoy the cool air and chat. They were illiterate, but most of the children in the village had learned to read from Cheng Shuang for a few months, and the news of the recruitment quickly spread throughout the village.

People came to the house one after another. Cheng Shuang invited Cheng Li to her home in advance. She made tea and massaged his shoulders to coax the old man, who was so confused that he was asked to help select ten reliable people.

After all, there are many people in the village, and she doesn't know the personality and character of each villager, but the village head knows. No one knows better than him and is more suitable for the task of selecting people.

Mr. Cheng.

After Hu Chunhua took two hundred taels of silver from the Feng family, he went to the county town yesterday and bought two pounds of meat and many other things to celebrate his beloved son's admission to Yunhe Academy.

After showing off all day, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng still haven't finished showing off. They are happily swinging their legs in the yard, eating melon seeds, and dreaming about their son becoming a high-ranking official in the future.

Suddenly the gate of the yard was pushed open, and Cheng Caizhi and Cheng Caipeng, who were working in the fields, ran back from outside.

"Dad, Mom, I heard the Wei family is hiring."

"Keep your voice down," Hu Chunhua scolded her two sons. "Don't you know Jun'er is studying? Stop disturbing him."

"What kind of workers are you hiring?" Boss Cheng asked. "Didn't that little bitch buy over thirty servants? Why does she still need to hire workers?"

Cheng Caipeng said, "It seems they are making some soap and they want young and strong men. The salary is 500 coins a month."

"Five hundred Wen." Hu Chunhua couldn't help but exclaimed.

His mind was full of thoughts about 500 wen per person, and that his two sons would get one tael of silver a month if they went there.

Then he thought of something and said immediately, "Go and call the two boys from your second uncle's family."

Hu Chunhua had a good plan. If everyone could be selected, she would earn two taels of silver a month. In any case, no matter whether they were from the first or second branch of the Cheng family, all the money earned had to be handed over to Jun'er for his studies.
