A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

Wen Dazhuang's two mu of land was completely harvested in just half a day because there were many people helping to harvest the rice.

Apart from Wen Dazhuang himself, all the other officials who had gone to the fields stood at the edge of the field, clutching their backs!

Because of his subordinates' understanding, Magistrate Cao only cut for a short while before being persuaded to stop, and someone else took his place.

Therefore, although Magistrate Cao's back was also aching, he was in much better shape than everyone else present!

Come on! Everyone, give it your all and help thresh the rice!

The magistrate gave the order that everyone had to keep working no matter how tired they were!

Wen Dazhuang had a really easy time harvesting rice today. With so many people helping him, he only felt like he was warming up before the harvest was over.

Right now, everyone is helping their families harvest rice, and I've really caught up in this good thing.

Without saying a word, Wen Dazhuang went home to get his things and joined the others in threshing the rice.

Magistrate Cao was only interested in getting results, so he skipped lunch and stood at the edge of the field supervising everyone's work!

Seeing that the county magistrate wasn't going to eat, everyone had to work quickly to weigh the rice as soon as possible.

After working for a while longer, all the rice was finally harvested. The county magistrate watched over Yang, the clerk, and began to weigh the grain.

Yang Dianli felt extremely tired and hungry. He had done all the work he would ever do in his life in one day.

Seeing that the magistrate was still staring at him, he had no choice but to take out his notebook and weigh the rice.

From the moment the rice stubble was harvested, Wen Dazhuang noticed that the rice ears were indeed growing well and were large, so there shouldn't be any problem in harvesting more grain.

Yang Dianli took about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to finally tally the yield from the two acres of land.

Holding the notebook in my hand, I was so excited that my hands were shaking.

Sir, this family harvested 1,160 catties of grain from their two mu of land!

Oh? There really are that many?

Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Magistrate Cao hurriedly took the notebook from his hand and read it again!

Haha, good, good!

Let's go and see how much grain they can harvest from one acre of land.

Magistrate Cao felt no fatigue at all. Having heard the answer he wanted, he felt completely relaxed and had no signs of tiredness.

The group followed Magistrate Cao to inspect other people's fields. After weighing and counting at several places, it was found that the rice grown by each household using the seedling raising method had increased in yield by 150 to 180 catties!

Alright, alright, Magistrate Cao is now truly certain that this seedling transplanting method really works!

Magistrate Cao returned to Wen Dazhuang, praised him highly, and even gave him a reward!

Wen Dazhuang improved the rice planting method, and the county government rewarded the Wen family with ten taels of silver!

Thank you, Your Excellency!

Wen Dazhuang never expected that his family would receive a reward from the county magistrate for switching to rice cultivation. He was so excited that he just wanted to go home and tell his wife right now!

Brother, I'm heading back to the county now. What you did was a great thing for the people. I'll report it to the higher-ups later, and maybe you'll even get some reward!

Upon hearing Magistrate Cao's words, Wen Dazhuang simply bowed and thanked him.

After finishing his conversation, Magistrate Cao returned to the county with the village head escorting him.

Wen Dazhuang and Liu made two trips back and forth in an oxcart, bringing the rice from the field back to their own yard.

The new rice was not yet ready to be bagged and stored, so the two of them busied themselves spreading the rice out in the yard.

After finishing his work, Wen Dazhuang told his wife about what happened in the fields that day!

Ten taels of silver? When Madam Liu heard that her family had received a reward, she clapped her hands with joy.

My dear husband, the fact that our family received praise from the magistrate is not thanks to you. If He'er hadn't told you this method, how could you have received the magistrate's reward!

Madam Liu did not forget her daughter-in-law's contribution at this moment, saying that the money had come through and she wanted to give it all to her daughter-in-law!

"Alright, alright, it's all for He'er," Wen Dazhuang agreed to his wife with good temper.

It doesn't matter who takes the money, since the money is ultimately in the hands of family members.

Magistrate Cao arrived in a hurry, so he only verbally gave Wen Dazhuang the ten taels of silver today. He will have his subordinates deliver it to him later when he returns to the county office.

Wen Dazhuang wasn't worried that the magistrate would renege on his promise. After all, he was the magistrate, an official, and his word was his bond!

The two were happy at home for a while, then they thought of sending a letter to Lin He'er to make their daughter-in-law happy too!

Lin He'er was unaware that her family had received a reward from the county magistrate for their rice seedling cultivation and transplanting method.

Right now, the person is in the room talking to Wen Yuning, who is coming home in the afternoon.

Brother Wen, are you going to take another exam?

Lin He'er didn't expect that the first thing Wen Yuning did when he came to her house was to tell her that she would be participating in next year's college entrance examination.

Well, the Master said I've learned enough and can go and try my luck.

Lin He'er didn't expect Wen Yuning to take the exam again.

Now that I think about it, since this person didn't take the prefectural exam again after the last one, but instead went back to the county school and studied for almost three more years, it seems that he is ready to take the exam again now!

Will the provincial examination be held in the prefectural city again next year?

Yes, the prefectural examination and the provincial examination were both held in the same place.

That's good, at least it's not far from home, and the academy exam should still be held in that same examination hall. For Wen Yuning, it's practically home ground!

In which month will the provincial examination be held?

Lin He'er wasn't clear about the exam time!

The entrance exam is scheduled for mid-April next year!

Upon hearing that it was in April, Lin He'er did the math in her mind. It was already November, and there were still five months before the exams began.

Half a year is still a long time away!

Well, I'll just tell you for now! But time flies, and in less than two months it will be Chinese New Year!

Let's go back to Xiaoyang Village this year!

Alright, Lin He'er thought that with the New Year approaching, she should stock some new products in her shop.

However, before launching the new products, there is one last thing I haven't done this year.

It's time to stock up on the new winter bags for the store!

Since we created a themed series of bags based on the four seasons, it's time to design new product patterns for this winter!

Two years ago, I used flowers as themes, but this year, starting in the spring, I made some adjustments.

After doing the same theme for two consecutive years, we changed to a new theme this year to prevent customers from getting tired of it!

This year's new theme boldly incorporates natural elements!

Spring rain in spring, thunder in summer, sunset in autumn, now all that's missing is the scene of winter!

The winter scene this year... I still need to think about it carefully. After all, besides using natural elements, Lin He'er also needs to supplement it with other plants to achieve the desired style of the pattern!

Try to depict a painting or a story!

It sounds simple, but when it came to actually designing new products, Lin He'er really wasted a lot of brain cells.

However, there are obviously some benefits. Take the Xu family for example. More than two years have passed, and they still have to rely on themselves when it comes to designing new products.

The Xu family had considered having their embroiderers create more new designs, but unfortunately, most of them struggled to produce truly heartfelt pieces!

After all, the embroiderers' inspiration comes from previous embroidery works, which is no match for a modern person like Lin He'er who has extraordinary abilities!

Therefore, the Xu family attaches great importance to Lin He'er's new products every quarter!

After more than two years of cooperation with the Xu family, the two families have found the most ideal way to get along in terms of business dealings!

What happened in Lin He'er's city will never happen again.

Speaking of that matter, Xu Bin even sent a letter from the capital, stating that he had been dismissed from his position as manager of the prefecture. Regarding the matter of his underhanded dealings, he only said that he was unaware of it and that the matter was not at his instruction!

Lin He'er saw that the letter was written sincerely, so she stopped pressing the matter.

As long as he has the strength, the Xu family will still have to cooperate with him. As for these trivial matters, they are insignificant!
