From morning till now, nearly four hours, Li had not eaten anything. She was so hungry that she was seeing stars.

She left in a hurry and didn't bring any dry food with her. There were some candied fruits, candies and biscuits in the carriage, but she couldn't bear to eat them.

But these were all bought by herself to open a grocery store, and she was still hoping to sell them for money. But now she was so hungry that her heartbeat accelerated and her hands and feet trembled.

Li thought about it and decided to eat something first. She didn't want to end up losing more than she gained. If she ended up getting sick from hunger before she earned the money, she would have to spend a lot of money.

Li finally took out a piece of Yi candy from the basket, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in her mouth. She immediately felt a sweet taste and swallowed the candy.

After replenishing my energy, I no longer felt dizzy and my hands and feet stopped shaking.

Dadong was better off than her. When Dadong went to Jufulou, the shopkeeper Qiu brought him a plate of pastries as a treat.

He didn't hesitate and ate three or four pieces to fill his stomach, so he didn't feel weak in his hands and feet.

It was also 3 p.m. when we returned to Kaoshan Village. As soon as we turned into the village entrance, Dadong asked, "Madam, should I take you directly back to the old house?"

Li quickly responded, "No, you should just take me to the workshop at the end of the village. I have to unload the goods."

After eating a piece of candy and calming down, she thought about putting the things up early today so that she could open the store tomorrow. The sooner the store opened, the sooner she would have money coming in.

"okay!"

After getting Li's affirmative answer, Dadong sent Li to the workshop and unloaded the things.

The workers in the workshop had not yet finished their work. Li asked Dadong to watch these things at the door while she went in to find Zhang Tiezhu to get the key.

Soon, the key was taken out and Li opened the door. Dadong moved the things in and went back to report.

He felt a little uneasy. His lady asked him to ask about Young Master Shenyang, and he went to ask.

County Magistrate Zhang did give a reply, but we don't know whether the news is true or not, so we have to wait.

……

Some time ago, Shen Ping designed a baby stroller and gave the drawings to Carpenter Li, asking him to study it carefully to see if he could make the stroller.

When Carpenter Li saw the blueprint, his eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Dachun Niang was so smart that she could think of making a baby stroller.

This cart doesn't look difficult, it's almost the same as a chair, but with a baffle in the front and four wooden wheels at the bottom, and a suspended layer at the bottom for storing things.

However, if wooden boards were used, they would not be so flexible, and Carpenter Li did not want to ruin his reputation. Besides, his furniture orders were tightly scheduled and he could not spare the time.

After thinking about it, Carpenter Li suggested that Shen Ping go to see the dumb uncle. The dumb uncle was Carpenter Li's cousin. He got sick when he was only a few months old. He had no money to see a doctor. Later, he became deaf and could not hear the outside world, so he became dumb.

God closed a door for him and opened a window for him. He was clever and skillful since he was a child and liked to weave things with bamboo.

There were elderly people in the village who could weave bamboo strips. He would always go and watch, take note of what they had done, then go home and cut bamboo himself and study it carefully.

Hard work pays off. After careful study, he became an expert in bamboo strip craftsman and became a famous bamboo craftsman. The baskets and winnowing baskets he made were both strong and dense.

Everyone in the village liked to ask him to weave baskets, and in this way he learned a skill to make a living.

Because his family was poor, the mute uncle married a mute wife when he was almost 30 years old. However, he was unlucky and even drinking cold water would get stuck in his teeth.

Later, when the mute wife gave birth to a son, she died of postpartum hemorrhage because they were twins, leaving behind two sons.

A kind-hearted woman felt sorry for them and was also worried that the child raised by the mute uncle would not be able to speak. She taught the two brothers to speak every now and then, and the two brothers gradually began to speak.

Because the mute uncle had to work, he had no time to take care of them, so he let them play with other children on their own. That's how the two brothers learned to speak.

Relying on this skill, Uncle Mute raised his two sons, Bingxiang and Bingkun, with great difficulty.

Now this mute uncle is nearly 50 years old, and his two sons have found wives. Fortunately, both his sons and daughters-in-law are filial.

Now the two brothers are learning the craft from him. After all the hard work in his previous life, the mute uncle is now enjoying the blessing of his children and grandchildren.

After listening to Carpenter Li's suggestion, Shen Ping also felt that it was feasible. Using bamboo to make a baby carriage should be better than wooden boards.

So Shen Ping found Uncle Dumb again and gave him the blueprint. After research by the three of them, father and son, they finally made a cart.

Not to mention, this cart is small and flexible. The wheels at the bottom are made of wood, and the top is made of bamboo strips. It has been polished and is smooth without burrs. Shen Ping is very satisfied with it.

The dumb uncle's youngest son Bingkun also saw the market. This stroller can free up his hands and he can also push the baby around.

If it is made, it is estimated that many wealthy families will want it. After thinking about it, Bingkun asked Shen Ping for advice to see if he could weave some according to the style of her cart and sell them.

Considering that this baby stroller could not be sold at a very high price and the craftsmanship was complicated, Shen Ping did not intend to charge them.

However, she saw that this dumb uncle had worked hard all his life, and was afraid that his two sons would not support him when he was old, so she put forward a condition to them.

If the two brothers do not support their dumb uncle in the future, she will have the right to take back the right to buy and sell the cart.

A contract was written for this purpose, and if they agreed, they had to put their fingerprints on it. The two brothers put their fingerprints on it without saying a word.

This cart has been made for a while now. It was just raining a while ago, so it was not used. Now that the weather is clear, Shen Ping took it out to try it out and see if it works.

At this moment, Shen Ping was pushing her grandson Xiao Hai in the back garden. This stroller was really useful, she didn't need to hold the child in her arms, she could just push the child.

Xiaohai is seven months old. He has two front teeth on his upper jaw and is learning to speak.

This little guy has a round head and big eyes that make him look clever and cute. Although he is only seven months old, he can already call daddy.

The little guy is not shy and is easy to take care of. Mrs. Wu has plenty of milk, and basically he won't cry when he's full. So Shen Ping is more willing to play with him in her spare time.

Xiao Hai also likes Shen Ping, and every time he sees Shen Ping he reaches out for her to hug him.

Shen Ping knew how hard it was to take care of a baby, so she would tell the nanny that if Xiao Hai didn't want to sleep during the afternoon nap, she should take him out so that Wu could take a nap peacefully.

There was nothing else to do today, and Xiao Hai was very energetic, so Shen Ping replaced the nanny and took Xiao Hai to the back garden so that Mrs. Wu could take a nap, and the children followed behind.

It hasn't rained these few days and the weather is sunny. It is now mid-May and the weather is hot, but there is still some temperature difference between morning and evening. But you can just wear a thin long-sleeved shirt.

The Gesang flowers in the back garden are in full bloom, dancing in the wind facing the sun, and the children are having a lot of fun chasing each other.
