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

The people from Pingnan Village gradually dispersed, some went home, and some returned to the two workshops.

The workshop has not stopped operating. The Chinese New Year is one of the best times for business.

For a poor family, how can making money be more important during the Chinese New Year?

Besides, there is always someone to do the housework.

They wish the workshop could be open every day and ship more and more goods so that they can earn more money.

After everyone from Pingnan Village left, the only people left at the Cheng family’s gate were the Cheng family themselves, Village Chief Jia and others, as well as the Zhang and Song families, who were the closest to the Cheng family.

Village Chief Jia smiled before he spoke, and looked at Cheng Wan with a more loving gaze than the gaze he gave his own grandson. "Seeing you come back with our own eyes, we feel relieved. We won't repeat our thanks, and we won't waste your rest time. Well, we're going back to the workshop. What about the pile of work? If we delay any longer, people might think we're taking the opportunity to be lazy."

At this point, the smile on Village Chief Jia's face got even bigger, and it was obvious that he was joking.

A member of the Jia clan behind Village Chief Jia laughed and said loudly, "Then we have to hurry over. We can't let the people of Pingnan Village look down on us!"

The two jokes made everyone laugh out loud.

Village Chief Jia smiled and waved to Cheng Wan and Old Lady Lin, "You all should go back quickly and have a good rest. If you need any help, come and call us."

After Village Chief Jia and others left, Mrs. Zhang and others also said goodbye.

Before leaving, I repeatedly emphasized that if you need any help, just call them at any time and they will be there whenever you call.

"Eh? Who is that?" Old Mrs. Lin put Cheng Wan's arm under her armpit, let Cheng Wan carry her and walk home, then she leaned close to Cheng Wan's ear and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Wan didn't react for a moment, "Who is it?"

Old Lady Lin patted Cheng Wan's arm and winked, "That guy, Gu, Gu Yan, didn't you invite him, Sui Sui, and Shao Qing to our house for the New Year? Why didn't they come? Could it be that they don't want to?"

At the end of her speech, Old Lady Lin frowned.

I have already done the ideological work for my family members and everything is almost ready, so why don’t they want to come?

"No." Cheng Wan smiled and shook his head, whispering, "Gu Yan still has something to do, the three of them will come tomorrow."

After getting the confirmation, Old Lady Lin immediately smiled with wrinkles on her face and started chatting excitedly with Cheng Wan.

It mainly revolves around what New Year's goods the family has prepared and what preparations have been made for Gu Yan's arrival.

Preparing for Gu Yan's arrival does not mean that we should praise Gu Yan highly, for fear of neglecting him in any way.

But you should at least provide them with a kang and two quilts, right?

Fortunately, the room and the kang were ready, so preparation was simple.

After entering the yard, Cheng Wan reached out and took the bag wrapped in cloth and armor from Deng Xiong, and walked towards his own room.

The room was very tidy and the kang was well made.

Cheng Wan had just taken out the cloth armor from the bag and hung it in the closet when he heard Cheng Daniu's voice coming from outside: "Ah Wan, can I come in?"

"Dad, please sit down." Cheng Wan led Cheng Daniu to the kang and asked Cheng Daniu to sit down.

Cheng Daniu took a look at the soft and beautiful quilt on the kang and found a stool to sit down.

"Awan, Dad... Dad..." Cheng Daniu opened and closed his mouth. Facing Cheng Wan's face, he repeated the words in his mind many times, but he couldn't say them out.

Cheng Wan blinked and asked tentatively, "Dad, do you want to tell me about Gu Yan and me?"

Cheng Daniu cleared his throat twice, his face straightened, and his voice was serious and solemn, "Awan, no matter what happens in the future, Dad will always protect you."

After saying that, Cheng Daniu didn't even give Cheng Wan time to react. He stood up and strode away.

Cheng Wan listened to the footsteps of Cheng Daniu leaving and burst out laughing.

Being wrapped in father’s love is really reassuring.

No one else knew about the little episode between Cheng Wan and Cheng Daniu, the father and daughter. When Cheng Daniu appeared in front of Cheng Wan again and reported the situation of the two workshops to Cheng Wan together with Cheng Erniu and Li Sanzhu, his tone and expression were normal.

"…Because the tofu had gained a certain reputation before the tofu shop opened, the business was very good. In addition to restaurants and hotels, many small vendors also ordered tofu from us. They bought from us and then sold it on the streets."

Cheng Erniu continued what Cheng Daniu said, "Now the two workshops not only accept orders from Shuoyang City, but also from Sining County, which is the closest to Shuoyang City and is located in the north of Shuoyang City. Tofu and hot pot base sell very well there, and many restaurants and hotels have ordered our tofu and hot pot base. I thought that after the Chinese New Year, we can take the initiative to promote our products in other surrounding counties. Our products are so popular in Shuoyang and Sining, there is no reason why they cannot be sold in other places!"

The more Cheng Erniu spoke, the brighter his eyes became.

Obviously, he has more and more ideas and is becoming more and more daring in doing business.

"The transport team brought back several orders today. I see that the two workshops are a little short of staff, especially the transport team. As the orders increase, they have to deliver more and more goods every day, and the pressure is not small." Li Sanzhu tried hard to show his calm side, but the upturned corners of his mouth and the upward tone of his voice still revealed his inner joy and excitement.

Cheng Daniu, Cheng Erniu and Li Sanzhu talked a lot, from recruiting workers to setting up a transport team, from selling only to Shuoyang City to selling to Sining County, from having enough manpower to being a little short of manpower... They reported everything to Cheng Wan in detail and waited for Cheng Wan's acceptance results.

Cheng Wan gave Cheng Daniu and the other two a thumbs up and praised them, "Dad, Second Uncle, and Uncle-in-law, you are really amazing! I didn't expect you to be able to manage the two workshops so well! If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do it to this extent. Dad, Second Uncle, and Uncle-in-law, it's really right for me to hand over the two workshops to you!"

The three grown men were flattered by Cheng Wan's words and expression, and they showed the same silly smile on their faces.

It was just because of Cheng Daniu's personality that even though he showed a silly smile, he was much more restrained compared to Cheng Erniu and Li Sanzhu.

Cheng Wan smiled and waited for Cheng Daniu and the other two to finish their silly laughter, then said, "It's of course good to take the initiative to promote in the surrounding counties, but the problem of manpower must be solved in a timely manner. If there is a shortage of manpower, continue to recruit and call them in time, and don't tire them out. Especially for those who work in the tofu shop, they have to get up early almost every day, and it will definitely not work for a long time. After the New Year, we will recruit more people as needed, so that they can work in shifts and give everyone a break..."
