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

Aunt Erlai went to the workshop to find Liu Chuan and Chun Ya, while Zhao Di stayed behind with Gou Wa.

Zhaodi deftly picked up the basket in the corner of the yard and carried it behind her, "Auntie, my brother and I went to the mountains to cut some wild vegetables and feed them to the chickens."

Chen Changsheng stopped and said, "A lot of wild vegetables have been prepared in the backyard. There is no need to cut them anymore. Follow Sanshou and Sixi to the backyard and see how they cook first."

"Okay!" Zhaodi agreed simply.

She got started quickly. She used to do all these things at home. Sanshou and Sixi only taught them once, and Zhaodi was good at it.

The homespun cloth for making work clothes was quickly bought. Chen Changsheng needed a large amount, which turned out to be a lot of money. The cloth shop owner was so happy that he even wiped off the change for her.

When the fabrics came back, the women who made clothes actively unloaded the things from the cart one by one. They were all as excited as if they were making new clothes for themselves.

Even if they are not making clothes for themselves, there are still people in the family working in kilns and sugar factories, and some of these clothes are for family members, so everyone is extra attentive when making clothes.

Because work clothes were urgently needed, especially winter clothes, Chen Changsheng found a total of twenty women and girls in the village who knew how to tailor and sew.

Ma Daju's niece Dongya also joined the team of sewing work clothes. Although she is not old, she is still very familiar with sewing because she used to do all the sewing and washing work at home.

After learning from several women in Chenjiacun, Dongya got started quickly.

Twenty people, one hundred and forty-two pieces of clothing, one person has to make seven pieces at a time, so the amount of work is not small. However, the wages given by Chen Changsheng were not low. A piece of clothing in winter costs thirty cents, and a summer dress costs twenty cents. Seven pieces can earn nearly two hundred cents.

Stimulated by the wages, the twenty women and girls were so busy that the needles and threads in their hands were almost pricked with sparks.

With the arrival of the twelfth lunar month, the village gradually has a New Year atmosphere.

This year's grain harvest in Chenjia Village is good. After paying the grain tax to the government, every household has a lot of surplus grain in their hands. In addition, working in Chen Changsheng's kiln factory and sugar factory, he can also earn several hundred pennies every month. Everyone now has a lot of money on hand.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the villagers are preparing to take out some money and go to the city to buy some New Year things.

Chen Daniu's bullock cart in the village is also busy because there are many people riding his bullock cart into the city every day.

The work clothes that Chen Changsheng requested were finally ready before the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

She was very satisfied with this batch of work clothes. The material was strong and stain-resistant, and it was filled with cotton in the middle. It looked bulging, and was very warm when worn. There are also a few words embroidered on the back of the clothes, "Chen's Kiln Factory" and "Chen's Sugar Factory".

It's that simple and crude.

In Dasheng Dynasty, the 23rd was celebrated in the north and the 24th was celebrated in the south. Chen Changsheng immediately asked Ma Daju to inform the people at the kiln and Liu Chuan to inform the people at the sugar factory to come and collect work clothes.

Since there were more than 70 people in total on both sides, the place where work uniforms were distributed was conveniently chosen in the field of Chenjiacun.

In less than half an hour, everyone gathered at the scene, and there were many villagers who came to join in the fun, chattering and making it very lively.

According to Chen Changsheng's request, the women embroidered the names of the workers on the collar of each work uniform, so it was very convenient to distribute them. They only needed to read the names, and the workers whose names were called would go up to collect them.

Everyone was very excited, especially the workers, who couldn't wait to put on their winter work clothes as soon as they received them.

"The size fits just right."

"It's made of cotton inside, so it's so warm to wear!"

Even a man who usually doesn't like to talk much can't help but chatter.

"We are all wearing new clothes, so this Chinese New Year, I will also buy some materials and arrange new clothes for the mother-in-law and the children at home."

"Thanks to Sister-in-law Chen, these days are getting more and more prosperous."

"Isn't that right? My house has just been built and I will move there tomorrow. When we celebrate the New Year in the new house, you have to come over and have a drink!"

"..."

Everyone's faces were filled with joy.

On the twenty-ninth year of the year, there was a heavy snowfall, and Chenjia Village was shrouded in silver.

Every household has sufficient supplies for the New Year, and it is the Chinese New Year. The kilns and sugar factories are also on holiday, and everyone is staying at home for a lively reunion.

Day after day, year after year, three years passed in the blink of an eye.

The villagers in Chenjia Village still live a life of spring, summer, autumn, harvest and winter storage. In recent years, the lives of the villagers have become much better to the naked eye, and their children are all wearing new clothes.

There are young men wielding hoes in the fields, and there are still women and little girls carrying baskets digging wild vegetables in the mountains.

Chen Changsheng's kiln and sugar factory are also booming. Her kiln has doubled in size. Half of the bricks are fired in red bricks, and the other half are fired in green bricks. The quality of the bricks is good and strong, and they are sold as far away as Jiangzhou Prefecture.

In addition, she developed black gunpowder. Xu Tan reported it to the Ming Sage, and the Ministry of Industry developed it in large quantities. She defeated the Yue Kingdom and regained the frontier, and was credited with great achievements.

The Holy Emperor made an exception and granted her the title of Langruren of the Ministry of Industry, with an official rank of eighth rank, no actual position, and a monthly salary.

Bai Xiao was dismissed from his post due to his meritorious service in government, and Wu, the former prefect of Jiangzhou Prefecture, was found to have embezzled official money, so he was promoted to the new prefect.

After the four brothers and sisters of Chen Dafu became literate and studied in school, each of them matured a lot. Chen Changsheng asked him to take over the work of the sugar factory and connect with the Shen family.

The two families had close ties, and Shen Bohu was very satisfied with Dafu's child, so he took the initiative to betroth Shen Jianing to him. The two families formed a strong alliance.

Erlu has also reached the age of marriage, so Chen Changsheng is not in a hurry. After all, fate cannot be forced. Besides, she was also an older leftover in her last life, so what will happen in the future is unknown.

The days are still long, why are you in such a hurry?
