Lai Fu went back alone and repeated what Xie Jiaojiao had said. Jiang Weinan was so angry that he immediately asked Lai Fu to prepare a carriage and go find Xie Jiaojiao in person.
But just as he stepped into the car, Li Yaner called him from behind: "Cousin, where are you going?"
Lai Fu immediately jumped down from the carriage and called out respectfully, "Miss Cousin!"
Li Yan'er stared at Jiang Weinan and asked relentlessly, "You are going back tomorrow, where are you going?"
Jiang Weinan felt a headache just looking at her: "I'm going out for a while."
Li Yan'er followed him and wanted to get in the car: "Then I'll go too!"
Jiang Weinan was speechless: "Yan'er, we have grown up, we are not children anymore. I have things I want to do, you just do your thing!"
But Li Yan'er didn't want to, and she held his arm: "Then I'll just marry you!"
Jiang Weinan quickly pulled his arm away: "Don't be like this, it makes you look stupid!"
Li Yan'er refused: "I won't!"
Jiang Weinan was helpless with her pestering him and pushed her gently.
Li Yaner sat on the ground and started crying, saying as she cried: "Cousin, you have changed! You actually pushed me..."
Jiang Weinan had no choice but to help her up, thinking, if it were Xie Jiaojiao, Xie Jiaojiao would not be so weak!
When Li Yan'er saw him coming to help her, she immediately pestered him and wouldn't let him go...
Jiang Weinan really couldn't do anything with her. He could only be careful not to let Li Yan'er touch him, while thinking that Xie Jiaojiao was the best and wouldn't cry like that!
Xie Jiaojiao and Tian Hu worked for two days to move the sugarcane back from the mountain.
After moving back, Xie Jiaojiao said to Tian Hu, "Let's pull out all the sugarcane roots tomorrow, so that the owner won't find out and spread the news."
Tian Hu nodded in agreement.
Xie Jiaojiao worked at home for a few more days before all the brown sugar was boiled.
Sun Ruhua looked at the dozens of kilograms of brown sugar and her eyes and eyebrows were smiling like a chrysanthemum.
Xie Jiaojiao said to Tian Hu: "When the brown sugar is sold, we can each take half!"
Tian Hu waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, thank you, I can't take this one."
Seeing that he insisted, Xie Jiaojiao had no choice but to say that she would definitely pay him.
"Thank you, little aunt. You don't need to pay me. I've been helping you with your work these days, and your meals are all covered. And I got more than 40 taels of silver this year! That's already a lot!"
Xie Jiaojiao had no choice but to cut a piece of brown sugar for him to take back.
Sun Ruhua said: "Tian Hu is a very honest boy. If I had a girl of similar age, I would marry him and I would be blessed!"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head speechlessly.
She took time to take the brown sugar to the town and sell it to Shopkeeper Chen, and then shared the sugarcane seedlings with the villagers.
Each family can only plant two acres. If they plant too much, there will be no market for it and the price of brown sugar will be low.
After hearing Xie Jiaojiao's explanation, everyone had no objection.
In fact, Xie Jiaojiao had calculated that there were about 50 households in the village, and each of them could produce more than kilograms of sugarcane from two mu of land! She was so worried that Manager Chen would not be able to eat it all.
Fortunately, she met Gao Shen this year. If Manager Chen’s meal is not enough, she can ask Gao Shen if he needs anything!
After finishing all these, it’s time to put up the beams of Xie Jiaojiao’s new home!
Raising the beam is a top priority in the countryside. Many people have said they want to help. Xie Jiaojiao also asked Sun Ruhua to invite a butcher to kill a pig, and treat everyone to the beam-raising and butchering water to avoid working another day.
The women in the village helped prepare lunch, and the men helped put up the beams.
The children gathered around Xie Jiaojiao's new home, eating candy, peanuts and melon seeds.
What a lively scene.
When Manager Chen came with generous gifts, Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly invited people to sit down and even asked the village chief to accompany her. The village chief felt very honored!
It was prosperous and we had a happy dinner.
Shopkeeper Chen handed Xie Jiaojiao another box: "This is what Young Master Jiang asked me to give to you before he left."
Xie Jiaojiao heard from Jiang Weinan last time that Manager Chen's boss was acquainted with his family, so she was not surprised. She took the box, opened it and saw that it was a peace locket, which looked not cheap.
Although the gifts Jiang Weinan gave her were always very valuable, to her, they were all useless things.
Xie Jiaojiao gave the things to Sun Ruhua without much concern, and sent Manager Chen to the village entrance: "Thank you for taking the time to come here today."
Shopkeeper Chen's face was a little red from drinking. He waved his hand and said, "It's all due."
He was also afraid that Xie Jiaojiao didn't know the meaning of the gift from his young master, so he reminded her again: "Miss Xie, the young master of the Jiang family gave you this peace locket with the hope that you can be safe. I think the young master really remembers you. Your great blessing is yet to come!" After saying that, he laughed twice and got on the carriage.
Xie Jiaojiao was a little confused after listening to this. She didn't know why Manager Chen said this to her. She thought that maybe he had some friendship with Jiang Weinan, so he said these words. She nodded as if she understood.
But in the end I didn't take these words to heart.
After seeing off Shopkeeper Chen, Xie Jiaojiao turned around and went back to work.
After putting up the beams, the house was completely repaired in a few days.
Sun Ruhua was satisfied with everything she saw!
The villagers found it very strange that what Xie Jiaojiao built was not only a brick and tile house, but also a two-story house!
Looks beautiful and stylish!
It was really enviable. Everyone thought that if they had money, they would get one like the same one for their own family.
There was no such thing as putty in ancient times. Xie Jiaojiao asked the foreman to mix lime with mortar and apply a layer on the outside of the first floor.
At first, the foreman thought that Xie Jiaojiao was being too wasteful, but when the effect came out, it was not only better looking than those ordinary blue brick and tile houses, but the lime could also prevent ants, killing two birds with one stone.
After the house was repaired, Xie Jiaojiao was very satisfied. The foreman had very skillful hands!
The workers were paid immediately so that they could go home and have a good New Year.
Sun Ruhua was busy papering the windows of the new house, while Xie Jiaojiao was busy customizing furniture.
It would be better to move earlier.
When it comes to furniture, naturally you have to find someone you know. Xie Jiaojiao went to find Niu Fusheng in person. It was Wang Po who opened the door. She was seen wearing a headband she made herself.
Seeing that she could get out of bed, Xie Jiaojiao thought that she must be well again.
When Mrs. Wang saw Xie Jiaojiao, she immediately laughed: "It's Jiaojiao! Come in and sit down."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said a few words: "Aunt Wang is well now!"
Mrs. Wang smiled and pulled her into the house: "Thanks to you and your mother, it will be well soon!"
As soon as Xie Jiaojiao entered the yard, she saw Niu Er chopping wood. However, he was wearing new clothes, so he looked much warmer and his ankles were no longer exposed.
"Aunt Wang, where's Brother Niu? I came to see him and want to order some furniture!"
When Mrs. Wang heard that a lucrative business was coming, she immediately shouted, "Fusheng, Jiaojiao is here!"
Niu Fusheng came out, and Li Lihua followed him out.
When Mrs. Wang saw Li Lihua, she was furious and glared at her: "Why don't you go and cook? Why are you pestering your man in the house in broad daylight? What the hell are you doing!"
