Madam Liu was anxious. "No, no, no, no..."
The old lady glanced at her and said, "Children are filial. Just wear it if you are told to."
Madam Liu blushed. "Then... then I'll try it on."
The women were happy, and so were the men at the Old Su Family. They all watched happily, but they all forgot about the pile of money on the table.
"Don't bite, don't you think it's dirty?"
Su Qiao pulled back Little Haozi who was secretly biting the silver again, and took the silver out of his mouth.
Little Haozi'Bahba' vomited, looked up excitedly and said, "Sister, we have so much money, can we build a new house?"
"I don't want to live in the same house as my brother. He always stays up in the middle of the night, and the light hurts my eyes."
"Also, I have to practice boxing every night before going to bed. He always dislikes me for making any noise."
Su Qiao pinched him quietly.
This damn kid gets carried away when he gets proud.
We agreed not to talk about martial arts training.
No one paid much attention.
Because these days, Little Haozi is running around in the yard every day, saying he is exercising and doing horseback squats.
Everyone regarded this as a child's playfulness.
The old man knocked on the cigarette stalk. "It's time to take care of the house, but we have to clean up the rice fields first."
"Master, I will do Wind-powered water wheel tomorrow, and we will water and plow the fields the day after tomorrow." Su Qiao has planned this for a long time.
"Can you do it alone?"
Didn't she say that thing was quite big and complicated?
What kind of sail is it, and what kind of wheel is it.
"The last time I went to Maternal Grandfather's house, I had already given the parts drawings to my second uncle and Fourth Male Cousin."
"They know carpentry and have a full set of tools. It should be almost ready by now. After delivering the fabric tomorrow, I can bring them together to assemble it."
The old man frowned. "How troublesome it is for them. At this time, they are also busy working in the fields."
"It's okay. I've already made an agreement with them. If we succeed in this, let them make one themselves, and they won't have to carry water in their fields in the future."
Her grandma's family had eighteen acres of paddy fields. How much manpower and material resources were wasted on filling the fields every year.
If there was Wind-powered water wheel, it would be much simpler.
Hearing this, the old man relaxed his frown and said, "That's okay. If this thing comes true, it will really be a great thing that benefits the people."
"After you bought so much cloth, are you going to make shoes, socks, and bags next?"
Su Qiao glanced at the old lady. "I bought twelve pieces of cloth, and the cloth shop gave me three packages of scraps. The total cost was 60 taels of silver."
"Business may be worse in the future, but it won't be too bad. I will draw some new patterns and bag styles."
"Then we should send it out?" The old lady thought carefully. If she could do it at home, then she wouldn't send it out.
Su Qiao nodded. "Well, let's send it out and pick it up in the afternoon of the third day."
"The earlier we sell the second batch of goods, the fewer people will imitate them and the greater the possibility of selling them."
The old man took two puffs of cigarette. "Then I have to deliver the fabrics early tomorrow morning, and by the way, I can give them some money for their crafts."
The old lady also nodded. "The handmade money should be settled early."
The old man signaled his wife to put the money away, and then urged the others, "You all go down and do your work, Qiao'er stays."
The old lady put away the money and followed her out the door.
"Second roommate, go get the bacon and kill the chicken."
"Young master, don't be too naked. Hurry up and boil a pot of water so that you can pluck the chicken feathers later."
You can still hear the voice of the old lady outside telling everyone to work.
