A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Chen Changsheng said, "You can do it. The kiln factory is basically on the right track. The next step is to open up the market, negotiate orders, and receive customers. I plan to hand over the kiln factory to you in the future. If you are willing, aunt, the wages Everything is easy to talk about.”

Aunt Ma was a little hesitant, "I, I have never done business. Dafu Niang, do you trust me to entrust such an important matter to me? Aren't you afraid that I will mess things up?"

"No one knows how to do business at the beginning." Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "You have no problem in dealing with others. If you don't know how to do business, you can learn slowly."

Tiedan is going to get a wife in a few years, so he has to prepare a dowry for her. When Dongmei marries her aunt, you will definitely prepare a dowry for her. It is always good to make more money during these days. "

Aunt Ma's heart felt a little hot.

She is indeed worried about the wedding expenses of her two children. Although the children are young now, they will be of marriageable age in the blink of an eye.

And she also wants to save more money and try to build a new house this year. Blue bricks are too expensive to build, so red bricks are very satisfying.

After thinking about this, she nodded and said, "Since you believe in me so much, Mrs. Dafu, then I will follow you to learn how to negotiate business and receive customers!"

"Okay, it's settled." Chen Changsheng laughed, "You will be my manager. Brother Ma, he didn't complain about anything, right?"

"What can he say? Now I earn more than him and my family has a higher status." Aunt Ma said with a smile. "As expected, we women need money in our hands to be strong-willed."

After sending Aunt Ma away, Chen Changsheng entered the door.

The yard has been tidied up by the second lady, the stove has been polished, and even the firewood in the corner has been neatly stacked, and people are now starting to clean the chicken coop again.

The sun outside was too hot right now, so the children didn't go to the fields. Brothers Dafu and Erlu unloaded the sedan, borrowed a cart, and drove the cattle cart to the old house.

Sanshou Sixi is full of energy and doesn’t even take a nap. Taking advantage of their free time, the two decided to review the knowledge they learned yesterday.

"Sixi, what did we learn yesterday?" Sanshou scratched his head, a little confused.

"If you learn widely, you will be afraid of the complexity. But if you talk briefly, you can understand the original meaning." Sixi shook his head helplessly and said, "Third brother, I just learned it yesterday, why have you forgotten it? If I ask you what you ate yesterday, you I definitely haven’t forgotten it.”

Sanshou grinned, a little embarrassed. He didn't remember what he learned yesterday, but he did remember what he ate.

How did his sister Sixi know?

After the two siblings Zhaodi and Gouwa fed the chickens and ducks with Sanshou Sixi, they became more familiar with each other and no longer felt awkward or uneasy at the beginning.

Zhaodi asked curiously, "Sister Sixi, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"I am reciting the Three-Character Sutra. It means that if a person wants to learn knowledge extensively, it is really not easy, and there is no way to start. But if you can learn roughly, you can also understand everything, and learn Some basic truths.”

Si Xi recalled how Chen Changsheng explained to her at that time, and now she repeated it in a formal manner with her little hands behind her back.

Sanshou took out a pen and paper from the room and carefully laid it out on the table in the main room, "Come on, come on, Third Brother has polished the ink, let's practice writing."

"Wait, you still want to write? And you still use pen, ink, paper and inkstone?!" Zhaodi was shocked.

As villagers, don't they just plant fields and vegetables, feed chickens and ducks, and wash clothes every day?

Sanshou and Sixi of Aunt Chen's family were actually able to read and write, and they still used expensive pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Even if Sanshou was studying and practicing calligraphy, Sixi was also there. Don’t girls wash clothes every time? Endless laundry.

She also has to take care of her little brother to prevent him from causing trouble and making his father unhappy.

Sanshou tilted his head and said disapprovingly, "Yes, my mother said that in addition to reading every day, she also needs to be literate and memorize multiplication tables."

Although he only memorized the multiplication tables up to 3721 and 3824, he could not remember the rest.

But in front of Zhaodi and Gouwa, the little man inside him did not allow himself to say no.

"We didn't use pens and ink before, we just dipped our fingers in water to write on the table. Later, my mother said it was not a problem to dip our fingers in water every day, so she bought these for us to use." As she spoke, Sixi was already writing one stroke at a time. Finished.

"How come you know so many words?" Zhaodi couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Sixi, who was four years younger than her, could speak eloquently and write such complicated words. Although she didn't recognize it, she felt good about it.

Sanshou interjected and praised, "Sixi is the most hardworking and serious among the four of us. My mother always praises her."

...

Looking at the words on the paper, Zhaodi murmured, "That's great..."

Aunt Erlai finished cleaning up the chicken coop and even carefully wiped the car placed at the entrance of the courtyard inside and out. After everything was done, he washed his hands and shouted, "Brother Zhao, Gouwa, we have to go back."

After noon, they would go to the mountains to pick up mugwort leaves and pine cones. Taking advantage of the good weather, they would dry them in the sun and then grind them into powder and send them to Chen Changsheng's house, so that they could earn a few more pennies.

During this period, she saved more money so that when the divorce was done, she would have money with her and her life would not be too sad.

As soon as a few people left, Dafu and Erlu came back.

"Mom, we are back."

The two brothers worked together to drive the bullock cart into the yard. At a glance, Chen Changsheng saw two huge round stone rollers standing on the cart behind him.

The stone roller is about 40 centimeters high and 60 centimeters in diameter. The upper part of the stone roller has a palm-width groove and a slightly protruding gear. The grooves and gears of the two stone rollers are stuck with each other and are inseparable.

"The second uncle said this is called a couple's roller, and she said she read it in a book." Dafu first took down the other things on the cart, then turned to Erlu and said, "Erlu, come here and help me." "

"coming."

Each stone roller weighs hundreds of kilograms, and even a man like Dafu, who has been doing manual labor all year round, cannot move it alone.

The two men used brute force to finally move the stone roll off the cart.

The two brothers were covered in sweat.

Dafu wiped the sweat from his forehead and took out a blueprint from his arms, "Mom, my second aunt asked me to bring this to you. She said she would know how to install and use it after reading it."

Chen Changsheng took it and opened it. On the paper, there were detailed drawings on how to assemble the couple's roller and how to use it.

"The second mother-in-law also said that she had made a wooden roller before, but unfortunately it broke after a few attempts. She knew that you wanted to make a strong one for grinding sugar cane, so she finally asked a mason to make this."

Chen Changsheng thought to himself, this Liu family is really ingenious, and she even made a thoughtful instruction manual.

"You two go wash your faces and drink some water, go inside and rest, and my mother will take care of the rest."

It would be much easier if there are installation methods and usage instructions.
