happy event

Chapter 197
Dong Rong pulled her and laughed, "Don't worry too much. When I was pregnant with Brother Qi and the others, Zizhu took care of the food, so she learned a lot of medical theory from Mr. Feng. Although the hawthorn has It has the effect of eliminating food and appetizing, but it can also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, so pregnant women should not eat more."

Only then did Chu Silian realize that she had misunderstood Zizhu, her face turned even redder, and she replied in shame, "I thought Miss Zizhu wouldn't let me eat it."

Zizhu smiled and stuffed her with a piece of walnut cake, and said, "Sister Silian, eat more walnuts, the baby you give birth to is smart. You can bear with your greed, after a while, the peaches will be ripe, and the lady will ask for more." Make canned peaches, it is said that the taste is better."

Aunt Yu now regards her daughter-in-law's stomach as a treasure, and she even put down the bowl in her hand after hearing this, for fear that her daughter-in-law would be greedy when she saw it, "Yes, lotus seeds, mother must choose the best hawthorn to keep in autumn." , after you give birth, let Zizhu help make a dozen bottles, so that you can eat enough."

Everyone laughed, and at the end they all said that this can must be a good seller.Zhang Yang had already figured out how to open up the market. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Dong Rong said, "This workshop was just a joke on my whim. The three children in my family are getting bigger and bigger, and it's not good for me to be away from time to time." Take care of it. Therefore, this workshop has to trouble my brother-in-law to run it. Why don’t we share [-]% of the proceeds from the workshop to the second sister’s private house, so that she won’t always complain that my brother-in-law is busy and doesn’t have time to play around with her.”

Second Sister Cao was sick and weak since she was a child, her parents treated her very well, and when she got well, she was spoiled by her sister-in-law, so she had little idea about money.A few days ago, she heard from her sister-in-law that she would give her a two-cent child, but she didn't realize that it was a huge fortune, and she didn't even mention it to Zhang Yang.

But Zhang Yang was born as a big shopkeeper in charge of the entire state capital business. He stood up immediately after hearing Dong Rong's words, and said, "Madam, this matter must never be..."

Where did Dong Rong allow him to decline, she waved her hand to interrupt him, and joked, "This is my private room for my second sister, you are not qualified to refuse on his behalf. Besides, when I was making canned food a few days ago, my second sister also No less effort, I should share some of her hard work."

After finishing speaking, she turned to her second sister and asked again, "Is that right, second sister? Next time my sister-in-law makes canned peaches, you need to help me more!"

Second Sister Cao was eating happily, with hawthorn stuffed in her mouth, she nodded and replied vaguely, "Okay!"

Zhang Yang had no choice but to look at his young daughter-in-law in a funny way, and finally thanked him seriously, "Thank you Madam for your generous gift, Zhang Yang will definitely do his best."

"My family, you don't have to be so polite."

When Mrs. Cao thought of the eldest daughter's family who had finally been released to the village a few days ago, the smile on her face froze.Although the eldest daughter is really disappointing, she was born by herself after all.There is an old saying that the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and now seeing that the youngest daughter is married well and loved by her husband and brother and sister-in-law, she inevitably hopes that the eldest daughter will also have a good fortune.But after thinking about it, she suppressed this idea again, she still shouldn't be too greedy.

The sun rose and the sun set, the flowers bloomed and faded, and April passed in a blink of an eye, and the Dragon Boat Festival came quietly again. Everyone in the orchard was rewarded with ten catties of japonica rice, a piece of meat and fifty copper coins.Everyone took it home, and the whole family rejoiced and had a sumptuous festival.Just after starting work after the festival, news spread that the orchard had begun to select female workers.

As long as there are unmarried daughters in Yimianpo, one family is counted as a family, and everyone who is not left is sent to the workshop. There are fifteen or sixteen people, plus the daughters from the surrounding villages who have heard the news and are accompanied by their parents and elder brothers. There were also seven or eight of them, and together they took up half the courtyard.

Dong Rong got up early and handed over the child to the nurses. She changed into a slightly luxurious dress and a ruby ​​headband, and went down the mountain to interview the female workers in the workshop.

Sure enough, she managed to calm down all the horses by dressing up like this, and all the family members stayed outside the courtyard obediently to wait for the news, while the little girls obediently walked up to her in turn to answer her questions.Those who were left behind were naturally happy, and some girls who were screened out because of their young age did not dare to cry and went out to find their parents and went home.

Sister-in-law Liu had just handed over the management of the restaurant to Meihua, and she was promoted again to be the manager of the workshop, and she will be responsible for taking care of these little girls' work, eating and drinking and other chores.

Seeing that the future "subordinates" were frightened by the boss and shrank their hands and feet like little quails, she hurried out to comfort her, and said with a smile, "Girls, I will take you to do the work in the workshop from now on. My surname is Liu , everyone just call me Guanshi Liu. Although our boss has a high status, he is the most kind-hearted, and you will naturally understand after getting along for a long time in the future."

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand and opened the reed mat on the table behind her, revealing the neatly tied cloth inside, and said with a smile, "We will wear uniforms in the workshop, and the cloth will be distributed in all seasons. After receiving your share, the carriage of the workshop will take you to the door of your house, and after three days at the end of Mao, you will come in the carriage after wearing your new clothes, and work at the end of Shen Shi. Do you remember everything clearly?"

There is no woman in the world who does not love beauty, let alone girls of fourteen or fifteen years old.Almost everyone was overjoyed after adding it, and responded loudly, "It's clear."

Zizhu wore a sky-blue dress and a dark green sleeved apron, and walked out of the room with a smile, calling out to all the little girls, "Come on, everyone line up to get the materials. The shape is sewn. Those who don’t wear new clothes can’t come to work. After everyone earns wages, how much fabric can’t be bought, so don’t be petty at this time.”

Hearing this, two shabby-dressed girls really blushed. It was obvious that they must have thought about taking the materials back and saving them or distributing them to their families.

Dong Rong saw that the little girls were all hugging the fabric, and all of them were smiling like flowers. She felt that the carrots were almost fed, so she stood up and glanced at everyone majestically, and said, "When you enter the workshop in the future, as long as you work hard, I will naturally I won't treat you badly. But if someone is lazy, slippery or breaks the rules, blame me for cleaning up her family together!"

The little girls quickly put away their smiling faces, shrank their necks together and said, "Yes, Master!"

Dong Rong nodded in satisfaction, and then told Sister-in-law Liu, "It's not easy for fellow countrymen to come to the orchard once. Let's prepare some food at the restaurant for everyone to have lunch. The girls' dining table is in the workshop, so don't let unsuspecting guests The collision was scary."

"Yes, boss, don't worry."

Sister-in-law Liu quickly responded, and finally sent Dong Rong out in person, and then turned around to greet the girls, "Come on, I'll take you for a walk around the workshop first. Miss Zizhu cooked a lot of delicious dishes, and we'll have dinner when we come back later." .”

The little girls ate carrots and received big sticks, all of them became submissive, obediently following Sister-in-law Liu and carefully exploring the place where they would live for a long time in the future...

Time flies, three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the carriage in the orchard drove out of the orchard at Maoshichu and began to pick up people from various villages.Soon the newly dressed little girls were brought to the orchard, the carriage stopped directly at the entrance of the workshop, and Sister-in-Law just counted the number of people and locked the gate of the inner courtyard.Some curious handymen originally found an excuse to dawdle not far outside the courtyard, intending to see their sister or cousin, but unfortunately they didn't even see a piece of clothing.

The news quickly reached the little girl's family members through various channels. Needless to say, everyone felt more at ease.

In this way, the canning workshop of Four Seasons Garden opened.Baskets and baskets of hawthorns were taken back, and the little girls worked together. Some picked and cleaned, some removed seeds and dried them, and some boiled glass bottles. Everyone was busy.Of course, the two processes involving sugar juice and cooking, which involve technology, are still in charge of the second sister Cao and Zizhu for the time being, and they will only hand them over after finding suitable candidates in a few days.

In the first few days, the little girls will inevitably make some mistakes, but fortunately, they are all ingenious and hardworking, and they soon get to know each other, and occasionally they will chat and laugh with each other through cotton masks when doing chores.The lunch provided by the workshop at noon is very rich, and the carriage in the morning and evening is very convenient.At the end of the month, the little girls came back with heavy purses, and their families were so happy that they wanted to set off firecrackers.

It turned out that the Four Seasons Garden really did what it said. Their daughter not only gained a lot of weight after working for a month, but also took more than two taels of silver. They are all jealous of the generous dowry.

Not to mention how happy the little girls were at home, and how regretful the neighbors who heard the news were that they didn't send their girls to the orchard.Let's just say that on this day, Dong Rong caught her husband and accompanied her to check the canned food in the warehouse, and then opened a bottle of the original canned food to taste, and after confirming that there was no spoilage, she discussed the sale with Zhang Yang.Zhang Yang had a plan for this matter long ago, he patted his chest for a big guarantee, and then rushed down excitedly to make a fuss.

Dong Rong and his wife walked slowly along the mountain road arm in arm to the top of the mountain. At this time, the sun had just set on the top of the western mountain, and the orange-red sunset glow still remained in the sky, reflecting the orchard as if it was wearing a gorgeous new dress.Dong Rong was in a good mood, and picked up two peach leaves and blew the whistle, but unfortunately her face was flushed from exhaustion, but she didn't make any sound.

Murong Huaide laughed unceremoniously, and naturally got "revenge" from his daughter-in-law.After laughing, the young couple found a rock and sat down for a rest. Murong Huaide took his wife and listened carefully to the evening breeze for a long time, and finally said softly, "Sometimes I really wonder, did the Dong family go to the cemetery of their ancestors?" Your feng shui is very good, otherwise how could you give birth to such an intelligent girl."

Dong Rong smiled and put her arms around his neck, and retorted, "Then the feng shui of the Murong family's ancestral grave must also be very good, otherwise how would you be lucky enough to marry such an outstanding wife like me?"

Murong Huaide loved his wife's eloquence, raised his head and laughed again, so startled that the birds in the fruit forest flew up and circled several times before falling back.

"I know you have some things, and it's definitely not easy to tell me. But I won't make things difficult for you. One day you think I'm worthy of your trust, and then I'll listen to you again."

Dong Rong didn't expect to hear such words suddenly, and her body became stiff with shock.She thought she was covering it up very well, but she didn't expect to be discovered.It's not that she never thought about confessing those pasts with her husband, those past lives that she once thought were dreams, but every time she opened her mouth, she didn't know where to start.Maybe subconsciously, she still didn't fully trust him, or she was afraid of facing his strange eyes...
