The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

Nianchun was very happy to hear the name given by Mrs. Su. She could hear the missing of her mother in the name. She missed her mother very much in her heart.

Nianchun pulled her sister to kowtow to Old Madam Su again: "Thank you for the name, old madam."

Old Madam Su looked at the two sisters and said, "Get up! Now that you are in this family, you must abide by the rules of the family. There is a rule in the family that you are not allowed to kneel down at every turn. Remember this."

Nianchun quickly pulled her sister to her feet and said, "Remember it."

Old Madam Su arranged for Nianchun and her sister to live in the west wing, which was the room where Su Yijia and her sister lived. She gave them cloth and cotton and asked them to make new quilts and two cotton-padded clothes each.

Mrs. Su knew how cold this winter would be, and it was not the coldest yet. She felt that it would be more than 20 degrees below zero when it was the coldest, so they had to prepare warm clothes.

Nianchun looked at the cloth and cotton given by Old Lady Su and felt deeply moved. After Nianchun's mother passed away, the two sisters had never worn new clothes, let alone a new quilt.

The two sisters ate what the Su family ate on a daily basis, and they were not treated badly. The Su family did not need to serve them when they ate, but they ate alone in the kitchen to avoid embarrassment for both parties.

Nianchun knew in her heart that the master family could have been less kind to them. But the master family was so kind to them, and Nianchun was grateful and remembered this kindness.

When they were free, they could not have enough food and clothing, but after they sold themselves into slavery, they could have enough food and clothing. How ironic!

The days passed quietly, and before we knew it, the team that was making the kang had been out making kangs for a month and a half.

It is now the end of October and November is coming soon. The temperature outside has reached minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Near noon that day, Su Andong returned home.

The Su family was very happy to see Su Anton and Su Zhicheng returning, and they hurriedly prepared food for them.

In fact, Mrs. Su and the others had already known that Su Andong and Su Zhicheng were coming back today. Zhou Huilan had already communicated with Su Andong through the megaphone. So Su Andong was not surprised at all that there were two more people at home, because he knew it a long time ago! But Dalang didn't pay much attention to the two new girls at home. It was only later that Zhao Yun explained it to her son.

Su Andong also brought back a truckload of coal from another county. When Su Andong saw the coal, he thought: If only my daughter was around, I could buy some and put it in the space. Unfortunately, I don't have that ability.

Su Anton unloaded the coal in the backyard.

A thick curtain had been drawn in front of the door. When I pushed the door open and entered the house, I could feel the heat blowing in my face. The stove in front of the main room was burning, and the whole house was warm.

Su Anton and Su Zhicheng couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Home is still the best!

The two of them sat by the stove, warming their hands while talking to their family.

Zhou Huilan went to the kitchen to help Nianchun cook, while Zhao Yun and Li Hongmei wanted to hear the news about their respective heads of the family. The two sisters of Nianchun were very hardworking and lively, and they really reduced the burden of housework on the Su family.

Su An Dong assured his two sisters-in-law: "Big brother, second brother, and fourth brother will be back in two days. This time when they come back, we won't leave, it's too cold outside."

After hearing this, the two stopped listening to him and went to the kitchen to help, hoping that the two could have dinner earlier.

After a while, the food was served on the table.

Seeing that the two of them were eating with relish, Old Mrs. Su knew that they had not eaten anything good outside, so she planned to give them some nourishment in the next few days.

Old Mrs. Su asked, "What about the others? Will they all be back in a couple of days?" Actually, Old Mrs. Su already knew all this through Zhou Huilan's megaphone. But she still had to ask so that everyone else in the family could hear it.

Su An Dong replied while eating, "Not all of them are back. Some are still working outside. Although there are not so many people working outside to build the kang, there are still some. I thought that we would not continue to do it. First, it is too cold outside now, so we don't have to suffer this pain; second, there is not so much work, so we won't fight for this job."

Old Mrs. Su nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. It's too cold now." She also added generously, "We don't lack this little money."

Su Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing as she listened to the two people reciting the lines they had known for a long time.

When Su Yuanyuan smiled, Su Miaomiao beside her couldn't help but ask, "Yuanyuan, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, just thinking that everyone is back and happy."

Old Mrs. Su rolled her eyes at her granddaughter who was trying not to laugh. She thought she was willing to say this! But she had to say it! Although she knew it in advance, she had to keep it secret from the rest of the family! She had to say this line.

Su An Dong had a good psychological quality and was not affected by his daughter's smile. He continued, "Mom, the villagers have organized a group of people to go out and build a kang."

Old Mrs. Su continued in a cooperative tone, "Really? I guessed it a long time ago. Someone will definitely go out and do it on their own. How is it? They have taken away a lot of your business!"

"Some business was taken away, but it's OK, it doesn't have a big impact. Their credibility is not good, and gradually fewer people come to them. The prices they set are sometimes high, sometimes low, and there is no fixed price, just charging whatever they feel like. The quality of the kangs they build is not good, some of them smoke so much that when they light the fire, the whole room is filled with smoke; the kangs are not even, so it's not comfortable to sleep on them. In the end, no one wanted to hire them."

Old Madam Su nodded in understanding and said, "We don't say it's bad to go out alone, but you should also be aware of the people who go out alone to make a kang."

"Mom, don't worry! I've already figured out who they are."

Su Zhicheng couldn't help but say, "Grandma, you don't know, those people are very arrogant. At the beginning, they took the initiative to steal our business! But after all, we have more people than them, so we are not afraid of them. When they saw that they really couldn't beat us, they backed off."

Old Mrs. Su continued to cooperate with the performance: "There is also this matter! Then we must remember who they are. In the future, if our family has any work, we can't use them first. We have to be careful of them."

When Su Zhicheng heard this, he began to list the people from different families.

After Su Zhicheng finished speaking, Mrs. Su continued the topic: "Anton, a man came to our house two days ago. He is the owner of the school where you used to work in the county. He said he wanted you to build two more kangs for him."

"Okay, wait until Big Brother and his friends come back in a couple of days, and we'll go to his house and prepare it for him."

In fact, their team that built a kang had already gone to the county to build a batch of kangs, and it was estimated that his family wanted to add another one.
