Chapter 178 A Result That Everyone Is Happy With

Qiao Dacheng came out and led the carriage to the door.

Father Zhang carried the backpack he had brought and placed it in the carriage, then helped Mother Zhang and others onto the carriage.

Zhang's mother: "Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law, please go in. We are leaving now. Don't freeze outside."

Yang waved her hand and said, "I know, I know. Please drive the carriage slowly."

Father Zhang sat in front of the carriage, holding the rope: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncle, sister-in-law, let's go now."

Everyone in the Qiao family waved their hands, and Zhang's father drove the carriage back to Zhangjia Village.

When we returned to Zhangjia Village, it was almost the evening hour.

Zhang Cheng and his family have returned. At this moment, Mrs. Zhu and Grandma Zhang are busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

When Grandpa Zhang saw the people coming back, he said, "You're back. Come into the house and warm yourself by the fire. You can have dinner after a rest."

The next day.

"Old Three, are you home?"

Grandpa Zhang heard the voice of his great grandfather coming from outside the door, and responded to the outside of the main hall: "Brother, I'm at home, in the main hall."

Then they got up and left the main room, and the great grandfather took the great grandmother with him, followed by a woman and a man.

"Brother, sister-in-law, please come in and sit down. Oh, Xiaoyun, Cao Yuan, you are here too. Please come in, please come in."

Grandpa Zhang led a few people to sit down in the main hall.

Grandma Zhang: "Xiaoyun, Caoyuan, eat this biscuit. It was made by Yueyue and it's pretty good." Then she placed the biscuit in front of the two of them.

Zhang Yun, Cao Yuan: "Third uncle, third aunt."

Grandma Zhang smiled and replied, "Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time, Xiaoyun, you must have returned to your mother's home yesterday."

Zhang Yun responded, "Yes, Third Aunt, I haven't been home for a long time. This time I came back and brought Cao Yuan to stay at home for one more day to accompany my father and mother. I will go back today."

"It's fine. You haven't been back for a long time. Your parents miss you."

The great grandfather was a little hesitant and wanted to speak, but didn't know how to say it.

Grandpa Zhang knew that there must be something going on here that his eldest brother brought Zhang Yun and his wife here today, but his eldest brother didn't know how to start the conversation.

Grandpa Zhang spoke up to break the deadlock: "Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing here today? Tell me, I will do my best to help you as long as I can."

The great grandfather thought for a moment and said, "It's like this, it's not a big deal. Xiaoyun came back yesterday and happened to say that her family is selling chili peppers in town and business is pretty good.

Cao Yuan's family owned a grocery store, so he suggested to the two of them that if they sold chili oil and other items in the store, they could make more money and also attract more customers.

Then the two of them heard it and thought it was a perfect idea. They could just put the things in the grocery store and sell them without them being exposed to the wind and sun like we did.

I was going to come yesterday, but since everyone went back to their parents’ homes yesterday, I didn’t come, so today I brought two people to your house to ask if I could let them sell as well.”

Grandpa Zhang smiled and said, "Hey, so that's what you're talking about. Of course, you can do it. Why are you hesitating? Xiaoyun can make money by buying goods and selling them in the workshop. We can make money too. Isn't this a result that everyone is happy with?"

Besides, the oil chili workshop originally wanted to find more customers, and couldn’t always rely on Tianxianglou. If Tianxianglou was no longer needed one day, it would be a blow to the workshop.”

The great grandfather nodded: "That's right."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuan stood up and said gratefully: "Thank you, Third Uncle. Thank you, Third Uncle."

Grandpa Zhang waved his hand to signal Cao Yuan to sit down: "Cao Yuan, I remember your home is in Wunan Town, right? It's a bit far to Zhangjia Village. It takes more than four hours to get there by ox cart."

"Yes, Third Uncle, it is a bit far. Fortunately, we have a donkey cart at home. The grocery store will also help deliver goods. It only takes about three hours for the donkey cart to reach Zhangjia Village."

"It would be good if you have a donkey cart at home. We don't have any stock at home right now. Cao Yuan, the workshop will start work on the eighth day of the first lunar month. This is your first time to bring goods here, so bring a small amount first and try selling it in town. If the business is good, you can buy more goods."

Cao Yuan nodded: "Yeah, Uncle San, I think so too. We still need to see the situation in the town."

"Then you can come on the ninth day to pick up the goods. You can also catch up on the end of the year. Your father-in-law should have told you the price. It's the same as everyone else's. There's no difference."

"Okay, thank you Uncle San. I'll come to pick up the goods on the ninth day."

"What's there to thank for? We are a family, and we shouldn't have different opinions."

"Hey, good."

Great grandfather: "Old Third, then I won't say thank you. Big brother will remember your kindness."

"Hey, brother, you..."

The grandfather saw that the matter had been said: "Third brother, we will not disturb you anymore. The family has already cooked dinner. After dinner, Xiaoyun and the others will rush back to Wunan Town."

Grandpa Zhang: "Okay, then I won't keep you here. Brother, sister-in-law, come and sit down when you have nothing to do."

Zhang Yun: "Uncle San, Aunt San, let's go back then."

Grandma Zhang responded and said, "Okay, be careful on your way back and stay safe."

The great grandfather took the great grandmother and Zhang Yun and his wife back home.

The next few days.

The Zhang family spends most of their time at home playing Gobang.

Now that the other people have also improved their chess skills, Zhang Yunyue won't be the only one who wins all the time. She will also be criticized by others.

Zhang Xiaohua and her friends came to play with Zhang Yunyue and also learned Gobang.

Within two days, most of the children in the village knew how to do it. Those who didn't have paper at home drew squares on the ground.

Then they would find stones or branches nearby and start playing chess.

Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang like to visit friends in the village, visiting this house today and that house tomorrow.

Or the whole family can eat hot pot in the main room, how comfortable it is.

The eighth day of the lunar month.

Zhang's workshop and food shops in the town, as well as hot pot restaurants and food shops in the county town, all opened on time.

When I was in the county town a few years ago, I told the two shopkeepers to prepare red envelopes for everyone when we opened today.

The opening red envelopes for the food store in town were given out by Zhang's father in the store.

The opening red envelopes for the workshop were given out when everyone came to work early in the morning.

The employees of the workshop received red envelopes from the Zhang family for the opening of the workshop. According to Zhang Xingzhong, everyone had smiling faces when they went to work the whole day.

We are already talking about next year’s New Year’s red envelopes.

The next day, it was just noon.

Cao Yuan drove the donkey cart and came to the workshop with his great-grandfather beside him.

Grandpa Zhang is also in the workshop now.

Seeing the eldest brother and Cao Yuan coming, Grandpa Zhang led them into the reception room.

Cao Yuan told Grandpa Zhang how many kinds of chili peppers and crispy whistles he needed, so Grandpa Zhang asked Zhang Xingzhong to arrange them and then weigh them.

After loading the goods onto the cart and paying the money, Cao Yuan drove the donkey cart back to Wunan Town.

After the workshop officially opened, everyone began to prepare goods for Tianxianglou without stopping, and the food stores and hot pot restaurants in the county also needed to deliver goods.
