Finally, the Yuan family's false accusation was resolved. Everyone thanked Ding An and left the Yamen.
Considering Yuan Shuang's health, they first found an inn and planned to take a short rest before returning. Fat Aunt originally wanted to go to Qingping Town with Ye to take a look at Yuan Bao.
In any case, he is his nephew. It is a matter between adults and has nothing to do with him. The child is so young and seriously ill. As an aunt, she should go and take a look.
She informed them, and while Chu Yi and the others were talking to Ding An just now, she came close to Ye. Thinking that the three Yuan family members were like this now, if necessary, she would help send Ye family and the old lady of Yuan family away. It's possible to go back.
But who would have thought that Mrs. Ye was so crazy that she ignored everyone and kept muttering Yuanbao's name, and then pointed at herself and said that if they hadn't interfered with it, she, Yuanbao, would have been saved!
The fat aunt was already angry with her sister, but seeing her still unrepentant like this, she stopped thinking about sending her home to take another look at Yuan Bao. She took some money and asked someone to help her at the Yamen Gate to bring Ye If he and the old lady of the Yuan family were sent back, he would have done his utmost to be benevolent and righteous.
After returning to Kaoshan Village, life went on as usual. Shen Luzhu and Yuan Shuang would gather together if they had nothing to do, take a few baby dolls with them, or chat about household chores or be a female celebrity.
The men are still busy. The expansion of the workshop in the backyard of the old house is now completed, but all the necessary items inside need to be prepared, so custom-making various tools and molds and purchasing tables and chairs for workers have become a daily routine.
When they had time, Brother Zhao Cheng followed Uncle Chu, listening to him talk about the key points of each process, and learning how to record the account books made by Shen Luzhu before.
Chu Ping also stayed with Chu Yi all day long, learning how to run a paper money shop and a funeral team.
At the end of April, the workshop in the backyard of the Chu family's old house was finally built. At this time, the two houses in the county had also been repaired, and they were just waiting for the owner to decorate them.
After the workshop was built, the first thing the couple did was to recruit new workers. The production of paper money had been stopped for a long time. If workers were not recruited and production resumed as soon as possible, it would probably delay the upcoming Hungry Ghost Festival.
The Chu family's workshop has always offered very good wages for recruiting workers, so there was no need to worry about recruiting people. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the couple had already filled up the number of people they had estimated in advance.
After asking Sanshu Chu for his opinion, the young couple selected a few workers who performed well from the original workers and promoted them to the leaders of various groups to assist Zhao Cheng's management in the future.
In addition, on the basis of the original, the performance part of the salary has been slightly modified, and the performance is distributed according to the difficulty of the operation and the individual's monthly completion amount.
It can not only better mobilize enthusiasm and prevent people from fishing in troubled waters, but also achieve relative fairness.
During this year's Dragon Boat Festival, the Chu family's old house was the busiest among the nearby houses. Shen Luzhu's family, Chu Yi's grandmother's family, the Jiang family and Chu Ping's family all gathered together.
The whole family makes rice dumplings and hangs mugwort together, and after dinner, or enjoys the shade under the persimmon tree, watching a few children playing with civet flowers in the yard, or chatting, drinking tea, and playing cards for fun. It's really enviable. All the villagers in Kaoshan Village were killed. .
After the Dragon Boat Festival, while taking advantage of the ten-day break of Murakami School, Chu Yi took his family to the county town. Is it a place where he will live for a long time in the future? Is it another home? Or should he arrange the details in the house by himself? The layout is the most comfortable.
The front side of the east courtyard in the county town has been converted into a pavement. The area is much larger than the front of their current house in the village. Counters and display cabinets have been built inside, and the inside and outside are also divided. The inside is more hidden and more convenient. Suitable for use as a warehouse.
The original courtyard gate in the northwest corner of the east courtyard has not been changed, but it is now sandwiched in the middle of two shops. Both the shop surface and the courtyard door have been repainted with a unified color, making it look more imposing than before.
Passing through a short corridor behind the courtyard gate, and then passing through the hanging flower gate, you directly came to the inner courtyard. Chu Yi imitated the look of the old house and asked someone to plant a persimmon tree on one side of the inner courtyard in the county seat, surrounding the inner courtyard. A circle of corridors and small flower beds are also built around the courtyard. The entire inner courtyard makes people feel warm and cozy as soon as they enter.
The two-story house of the main house was re-divided, and the entire second floor was divided into three rooms. The largest one in the middle was used as Chu Xiuxiu’s bedroom.
The suite in the bedroom was a study room prepared for her, and the westernmost part was left to the little girl to decorate by herself.
The main room on the first floor has retained its original appearance, but the master bedroom has been renovated, and it will be Uncle Chu's bedroom from now on.
The two rooms in the east wing were still reserved for the young couple, while one in the west wing was used as Chu Li's bedroom and the other was used as his study.
Seeing the new house in front of them, which was much larger than the old house, the Chu family all liked it very much, and they all started discussing how to decorate everything.
After looking at the house, the family walked around a few streets near their new residence. Where was the market, where was the medical center, where was the nearest private school, and how far away it was. It would be hard to move there when the time came. , his eyes darkened, and he pointed at Chu Yi.
The next days were spent classifying the objects in the Chu family's old house, which ones should be taken to the county town, and which ones should be kept in the old house for easy use when they come back to live in the future.
Those that are taken away are sorted and packed, and those that are not taken with you have to buy new ones in the county.
When the Chu family's paper money shop reopened in mid-May, the villagers discovered something was wrong. Why was Chu Ping in the shop most of the time now? It was said that the Zhao brothers were now in charge of the workshop. Are you busy every day and don’t know what you are doing?
When the Chu family's old house first started to expand the backyard workshop, many people in the village were watching and speculating. Now, all the unusual things have attracted the attention of the whole village.
Under the big willow tree at the head of Kaoshan Village, the Chu family unknowingly became the focus of everyone's attention.
"This house of the Chu family was not just renovated after the separation two years ago. Now it is being expanded and workers are being recruited. What is the purpose of such a big movement?"
Another aunt, who was picking up the soles of her shoes, heard someone mention it and hurriedly said, "I'm just making money, what else can I do? It's not like you don't know about his aunt, so the Chu family has hired a lot of people at once!"
"Of course I know that his business is good, but he has recruited so many people all of a sudden. How much paper money will it cost? No matter how good the business is, there aren't that many people in our ten miles and eight villages to buy?" "
When the lady thought it made sense, she hurriedly lowered her voice and guessed: "Do you think his family will open another shop? Have you heard that any of the nearby villages are opening paper money shops?"
"I haven't heard of it, but don't tell me, aunt. His shop has been really weird lately. The young couple don't know what they are busy with all day long. The only one who sees the shop is Chu Ping, who is next door to them! "
"No, I was here two days ago, and it was Chu Ping who replenished and sold goods!"
At this time, an aunt who had been making noises said with a mysterious face: "Maybe I know a little bit, but the Chu family is going to move out!"
"What? Move away. Why do you want to move away?"
The aunt changed to a more comfortable posture and talked eloquently: "I also heard from people that my sister-in-law's daughter was recently recruited to work in the Chu family. Listen to her, this young girl in the Chu family I've been packing a lot of things recently, and I've packed a lot of things neatly. The front shop has been handed over to Chu Ping, who is next door to them. Even the workshop where they work is always being watched by the brothers from the Zhao family. , She also said that she heard the Chu family chatting, saying that they didn’t need to carry them, and they would buy new ones when they got there. What if they weren’t moving?"
"Sister-in-law, have you heard about where your niece is moving to?"
"That's not clear. I'm working in someone else's house, so it's hard to go up and ask if it's true!"
Soon, the news that the Chu family was moving out of Kaoshan Village spread a lot in the village. Some people couldn't help being curious and asked the real owner.
At that time, the young couple were chatting in the shop with Zhengzheng and Chu Ping. After hearing this, they admitted generously: "Yes, Auntie, the family plans to open another shop nearby, and then everyone in the family will follow. In the past, I still have to come back when I am free."
"Hey, this is such a happy event. In which village are you planning to open another one? Why are you moving the whole family there? Your family doesn't have an ox cart. Is it inconvenient to drive an ox cart back and forth?"
Shen Luzhu smiled: "It's not a nearby village, it's a village in the county.
The store is really inconvenient to go back and forth. "
"Oh my God! Wife of the Chu family, your family is so prosperous that you actually moved directly to the county town! It's really incredible!"
The Chu family is moving away, directly to the county town to open a shop! The news broke out in Kaoshan Village even more than when Chu Ren was admitted as a scholar.
Although everyone knows that studying for the imperial examination is a good way out, this good way out is not available to ordinary people. When ordinary people hear that a scholar has emerged in the village, they are not only envious but also tell their boys who are also studying in the school to study hard. , strive to be like the Chu family, learn a way, no matter what the result, it will not be too demanding.
Although everyone in the village knew that Chu Yi and his wife's shop made money, no one had a specific idea. They just thought that they were from a slightly wealthier family in the village who ate pork several times a month more than their own. But in today's situation, nothing can compare with a few meals of pork. This is the difference between eating delicacies from the mountains and seas and eating rice bran at home!
