Chapter 81: Agreements
Qi Chuyun asked doubtfully: "Is this soil?"
Mrs. Wang smiled and replied: "Yes, these vegetables originally grow in the soil, and they must be inseparable from the soil. Adding this nutrient solution will ensure that everything you deliver will be hydrated!"
Qi Chuyun's head spins for a moment, thinking "Is that so? What is said also seems to make sense, this vegetable indeed grows in the soil, no matter what, just do what the owner instructed, the other owner also explained that he cannot ask more questions."
So he smiled and replied: "Okay, I know, it's getting late now, so we'll leave first, and we'll come back when the next crop of vegetables is harvested!"
The old man politely retained: "Little brother Chunyun, it's not too late now, you guys can eat at my house at noon, it's not too late to get on the road after you've had your fill!"
Qi Chuyun declined politely: "Thank you, senior. We won't bother you. We have to hurry up and deliver these vegetables to major restaurants as soon as possible. We have our own dry food."
The old man did not linger, and said: "Then little brother Chueyun pay attention to safety along the way, and when you have time next time you must come to my house for dinner, we can also fulfill the friendship of the landowner."
Qi Chuyun said: "Okay, for sure, I will definitely come to bother senior when the time comes."
The pedestrians were sent to the carriage team. The children in the village saw so many carriages at once and happily gathered around them.
Qi Chuyun and his men turned the carriage around and drove towards the road outside the village.
After greeting the people in the village, the Xu family all returned home, the family sat in the hall, except for Xiaoliu, who was playing wildly outside and hadn't come back yet...
Elder Xu said: "This first time it was sold more than 10,000 taels, the family also contributed, each family splits 20 taels of silver to keep for pocket money, and the rest will remain in the house."
The three sisters-in-law were very happy after hearing this. They accepted the money without any refusal this time, feeling very happy...
Elder Xu said with a twist of words: "But don't forget who brought these. You must keep your heart and don't be blinded by the money in front of you. The long-term is the way to survive, got it?"
The three couples immediately replied seriously: "Your son (daughter-in-law) knows!"
Mrs. Zhang stated: "Father, don't worry, I know that all our family relies on Qibao today, we all know it in our hearts, now that our family is doing well, and our children are able to go to school, I'm already satisfied, and I will never have any thoughts that I shouldn't, so don't worry, father!" The other two daughters-in-law nodded in agreement.
Elder Xu replied: "I'm relieved for all of you, and I'm only saying this today to remind you that the best thing is to not forget your original intention!"
Qibao said: "Grandpa, please don't say that, the silver earned is not Qibao's credit alone. Think about it, no matter how much I have an idea, it's useless if my family doesn't support me. Normally I don't worry about anything, it's all the eldest uncle and the second uncle who is busy, and everyone in the family has contributed a lot."
Mrs. Wang also said: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. We all just need to remember what the old man said today. It's getting late, so hurry up and make lunch."
The three daughters-in-law followed their mother-in-law to the kitchen and began to solve the family's stomach problems.
...…
It rained heavily the next day, and the old man agreed that the workers would wait until the rain stopped to work, so basically every household closed the door and hid in the house.
The women were mending clothes, while the men were chopping firewood and weaving bamboo baskets. They were much more leisurely than usual.
After Xu Dabo sent off his elder brother and the others, he came back with his clothes mostly wet, pulling the carriage as soon as he entered the house. Wang's eyes were sharp enough to see it, and looked for a dry piece of handkerchief to help her son wipe the water from his hair.
While wiping, she said: "You're really something too, it's raining so hard and there's nothing at home, so you don't have to get soaked like this if you go to the barbecue restaurant to shelter from the rain!"
Mrs. Zhang said: "Husband, please go inside quickly and change into some clothes to keep warm. I feel so cold just looking at you!"
Uncle Xu agreed and followed his wife into the house to change clothes.
When Uncle Xu came out, the whole family was busy with their own tasks, and he said: "Dad, it's raining so hard outside that it won't stop for a while. The road in the village is too difficult to walk. You see, the carriage is covered with mud and the horses can't even pull it."
Elder Xu exclaimed: "Yes, the roads in the village are like this when it rains. When you go out, your feet will be covered with a thick layer of mud."
Uncle Xu replied: "That's why I've told the children that they'll sleep at the barbecue restaurant at night, and I've also already greeted the shopkeeper!"
Elder Xu said: "Good, Wenwu and Zhiyong will take care of his brothers."
Uncle Xu said: "The wheels of the carriage are full of mud. We need to wash them off after the rain stops!"
Mrs. Wang said with some worry: "Even if the rain stops, this road will not be plowed in one day. I am still a little worried about the children staying in the town for a few days!"
Qibao said: "Grandpa, I want to build a road!"
The whole family looked at Qibao in surprise. Elder Xu asked: "Qibao, why do you suddenly want to build roads?"
Qibao replied: "It's not just for our family, it's also for the sake of the villagers, and also, in the future, we'll have to build a brewing workshop. It's all going to be filled with altars, and this dirt road is uneven, so it's easy to break the altars, and it'll be better for the vegetable delivery team to travel in the future!"
The whole family was silent for a long time. What Qibao said makes sense, but the road is not short. Let's not talk about the money issue, but where can we find so many people to build the road?
The old man asked: "Qibao, it's not that grandpa disagrees. Building roads is also a good thing, but where can we find so many people to build roads?"
Qibao exclaimed: "There should be someone who specializes in road construction! Otherwise who builds all those big roads in town? We'll just get villagers from other villages to help and just pay for the labor, I think they'll all be willing!"
The old man slapped the table hard and said proudly: "Good! Today we, the Xu family, will do this good deed for the benefit of the country and for the people. It will be considered as a blessing for everyone in the entire family, not to mention that it's also for the benefit of our own family! I will agree to this!"
Qibao knew that grandpa would agree, and said with a smile: "I know that grandpa, you are a grandpa who understands righteousness. Others are not as heroic as you!"
The old man laughed out loud at the praise, turned to his family and asked: "Do you have any opinions? Feel free to speak out!"
Uncle Xu said: "This is a good thing, I agree. Our family has made some money anyway, so it is appropriate to do good things!"
Mrs. Zhang said: "I have the same idea as the head of the family. I agree with my father-in-law's decision. This is also for the good of the children. They can come home even if it rains in the future!"
Xu Laoer said: "Brother and sister-in-law agree, my wife and I support your decision!"
Xu Laosan and his wife agreed even more. This was proposed by their daughter. They would not object. They could also accumulate blessings for their daughter. Why not? There would be money in the future, but not everyone has this blessing!
The old man said happily: "You are all good, and you did not disappoint me. I never thought that I could do something so beneficial to the villagers. In the next hundred years, I will be able to explain to my ancestors!"
