Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"Dad, what are you thinking about? Of course I am your daughter."

Only then did Jin Xiang's father realize that he actually said what was in his heart.

"Daughter, you, you have changed too much. You were not like this before."

"Then do you think it's okay for me to be like this?"

Jin Xiang's father nodded quickly, "Of course that's good. Listening to you talk, I can feel that you are capable."

Jin Xiang raised her chin slightly, "What is this? Our girls are really capable! Dad, you don't know..."

Jinxiang began to tell her father how powerful Cheng Wan was, what he had done, and now he was an official as a woman.

Jin Xiang's father was stunned for a while, and everyone was stunned when he heard the last part, "Can a woman be an official? Dad thought you were making up lies to scare your father."

"Why can't women be officials?" Jin Xiang's eyes widened, "Dad, our girl is the most capable person in the world. Not only has she become an official, she will also become a high official in the future! Don't say that women can't be officials. I don’t want to hear it, and our girls don’t want to hear it either!”

Jin Xiang's father nodded hurriedly, "I know, I wrote it down."

Jin Xiang began to praise Cheng Wan to her father again. According to Jin Xiang, there was nothing wrong with Cheng Wan and she was a perfect person.

After Jin Xiang's father recovered a little from the shock of Cheng Wan becoming an official, he saw Jin Xiang's high-spirited appearance. He smiled unconsciously and said, "Xiang, you have met a real nobleman. You should treat him well." If you can learn one or two things from adults when you work, you will be able to live a good life. When dad gets back, he will split up the family with your father as you said, and don't let things at home drag you down."

After meeting Jin Xiang and seeing with his own eyes that Jin Xiang was living a better life than he imagined, Jin Xiang's father was about to go back.

It was already getting dark, and it would be time to have dinner soon, so the Cheng family naturally stopped Jin Xiang's father from leaving.

How could Jin Xiang's father win over so many people by himself? In addition, Cheng Daniu said that someone would drive a carriage to send him home tomorrow, which would not delay his return home. Jin Xiang's father could not Blushing, he agreed to stay at Cheng's house for one night.

In the evening, when Cheng Wan was looking for clothes to wear tomorrow, Wang came in.

"mother?"

Mrs. Wang bent down and stretched out the mattress on the kang, "Ah Wan, does the shop I bought today need to be renovated first? I also need to think of a shop name, make a plaque, and then buy cloth, needlework and other things. …”

Mrs. Wang sat slumped by the kang, feeling a little depressed. "Mom, after thinking about what she had to do in her mind for a while, her head felt like she was getting big. Your casual building is so big, it feels like you didn't do much at first. When I was in trouble and had a headache, I opened the random building."

Cheng Wan chuckled lightly, "Mom, how can it be easy to open a shop? We are not in a hurry, you can take your time."

Cheng Wan put the clothes she had found on the corner of the kang and continued: "Don't think about this before the new year, and then think about things related to the store after the new year.

Mom, when the time comes, just tell us what you think of, and we will give you a reference. If you have anything you can’t figure out, tell me, and I’ll help you figure it out. If I can’t figure it out, just find someone to help you figure it out. "

"Mom," Cheng Wan sat next to Wang, poked Wang's arm, and said with a smile: "Don't be so stressed. We bought that shop, not rented it. This shop is open It’s good to be able to afford it, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t open it. Didn’t I tell you, you can still make a profit even if you resell the shop.”

Wang regained her energy after being comforted by Cheng Wan. She chatted with Cheng Wan for a while, then got up and went back to her and Cheng Daniu's room.

In fact, Wang didn't completely understand what Cheng Wan said to comfort Wang. She just couldn't help but feel a little panicked and unsure, so she instinctively wanted to talk to Cheng Wan to find support and confidence.

Wang left with her front foot, and just as Cheng Wan was about to close the door with her back foot, she saw Jin Xiang slowly walking towards her room.

Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking: "It's quite lively here tonight."

"Come in and talk."

Jin Xiang entered Cheng Wan's room with his head lowered and his hands clasped in front of him without saying a word.

Cheng Wan looked amused and said warmly: "What's going on? Didn't I see that you and your father had a good chat before? Did you encounter something difficult?"

"Girl..." Jin Xiang looked up at Cheng Wan, opened and closed his mouth, and finally said in a frustrated tone: "Girl, I, without your consent, I told my father that I would use your influence to help us. Separate families. Girl, you...don't be angry."

The more Jin Xiang spoke, the lower her voice became, and her head lowered lower and lower.

"How serious do I think it is?"

Cheng Wan had a gentle voice and poured Jin Xiang a cup of tea, "Would you like to tell me what you told your father?"

Jin Xiang nodded repeatedly and honestly recounted to Cheng Wan what idea she had given her father.

"...That's it, girl, do you think this is okay?"

Cheng Wan looked at Jin Xiang with a novel look, with admiration and relief in her eyes. She pinched Jin Xiang's cheek lightly and laughed, with obvious joy in her voice.

"It works."

Cheng Wan slightly bent over and looked directly at Jinxiang. Her voice was soft but firm, "I know your grandfather well, and based on my understanding of your grandfather, I came up with an efficient way to solve the problem. Jinxiang, you are great, I am proud of you." "

Cheng Wan's last words made Jin Xiang so excited that she almost jumped up.

Jin Xiang looked at Cheng Wan with bright eyes and a silly smile on her face.

Cheng Wan smiled and touched Jin Xiang's head, "Go back and rest."

December 23rd, the New Year.

As soon as it dawned, Pingnan Village became lively, with chickens crowing and dogs croaking, children being called to get up, adults being called to work, and meals being eaten... the atmosphere was very thick with fireworks.

In the kitchen of Cheng Wan's house, Mrs. Lin poked her head out and shouted: "The meal is ready, stop working and eat first."

Cheng Wan threw the sheets and quilt covers in her arms into the basin and ran to the kitchen, "Mistress, what delicious food did you cook?"

"Time is tight in the morning, so I didn't do anything fancy. I just fried two vegetables, chili eggs and spicy and sour cabbage, and then cooked a pot of glutinous rice balls, which are all your favorites." Mrs. Lin handed over a bowl of glutinous rice balls that had just been served. Give it to Cheng Wan, "Take it away."

There are many people eating, and naturally there are many people serving food.

Soon, everyone was seated around two tables in the dining room. Cheng Wan's family sat at one table, Guihua and others sat at another table.

It's not that Cheng Wan's family doesn't want to eat at the same table as Guihua and others, but Guihua and others strongly insist on sitting at the same table by themselves, saying that they feel comfortable in this way.

"Eat quickly. There are still a lot of things to do after eating. There are still glutinous rice balls in the pot. Whoever has finished eating can go get them by themselves. Don't let them remain. Let's eat dumplings at noon."

As she spoke, Mrs. Lin took a chopstick and stuffed the spicy and sour cabbage into her mouth.

Mrs. Lin was chewing cabbage and turned around to see Jin Xiang's father holding chopsticks but not picking up the vegetables. "Jin Xiang's father, you brought this cabbage on your back yesterday. How do you like your aunt's cooking? How many of my family members are there?" All the kids like to eat my fried spicy and sour cabbage."

"Hey!" Jin Xiang's father put a piece of cabbage into his mouth and nodded, "It's delicious! Our family often stir-fries cabbage on weekdays, but we just don't want to add the ingredients, so it's not very delicious. .”

Cheng Daniu smiled heartily, "Brother Jin, please eat more if they taste good, but don't be polite. If you don't leave in a hurry, try my dumplings at noon. My mother's dumpling fillings are also excellent!"

"No, no." Jin Xiang's father quickly shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have to go back soon. My mother and two children are still at home waiting for me to go back."

Cheng Daniu nodded and said nothing more about asking Jin Xiang's father to stay for another lunch. As a husband and a father, he could naturally understand Jin Xiang's father.

Everyone ate, chatted and finished breakfast quickly. Mu Dong also put on the carriage and drove Jin Xiang's father out of the village.

Of course Mu Dong will not send Jin Xiang's father home. He is only responsible for sending Jin Xiang's father back, so that Jin Xiang's father will have to walk less.

"Okay, after you've eaten and drank, get busy. Make dumplings, boil water for bathing, wash clothes, wash sheets and quilts, clean, cut window grilles, stick window grilles... it's all work."

Cheng Wan walked up to Mrs. Lin and said with a smile, "Mistress, I'll help you make dumplings later."

Old Mrs. Lin pushed Cheng Wan away, "You're not needed. You go and do your business. Once you've finished your business, just play with Xiaoyu and the others. You'll be on duty tomorrow. It may be hard work in the future."
