Mrs. Li is well aware of this and will never refuse to interact with the village, but she will not let others "suffer", lest they say that the Zhu family takes advantage of others.

Everyone knows who is taking advantage of whom.

In the past, Mrs. Li only had to tell Ye Yuran what she had collected when having dinner. But as Zhu Qi also had "correspondence", in order to avoid making mistakes, Mrs. Li learned to "record"

.

Prepare a special notebook to record these favors, so that you will not make mistakes when returning gifts in the future.

Because he often came to pick up goods, Jiang Yousheng gradually made an impression among a group of working ladies.

"Is this Jiang Yousheng?" Someone else was surprised, "I remember, isn't he a poor boy? Why does he look a little different?"

But it's just different. When he was caught stealing things from the Zhu family, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, and with his hunched back and shrunken shoulders, he made a good young man look like a skinny monkey. He was completely

Can't see it.

Now that he has gained weight, put on clean and comfortable clothes, and often interacts with people around Brother Bao, he has seen more of the world, his back has straightened up, and his spirit is different.

His temperament is naturally different.

Now when I look at him again, I see that he is a nice young man from the town.

"That's him. He comes to Mrs. Zhu's house every day to get goods, have you forgotten?" someone said, "But he usually comes in a carriage, so we don't see him very much, but we don't pay attention. This young man is good-looking.

.”

"It looks pretty good, in good spirits!"

…

A group of ladies praised Jiang Yousheng from head to toe, and some couldn't help but ask Ms. Li: "Is the young man engaged?"

"Ah? I don't know. I have to ask Xiao Jiang about this." Ms. Li smiled softly, "Why, aunt, do you have a crush on her?"

"Hehe! You saw that this young man looks good, so you want to inquire about it." The aunt didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said, "It's time for my girl to get to know each other in the past few years, so it's better to check it out in advance.

You can also decide early."

"Don't be tempted just because he is from the town. Madam, I have to tell you this ugly thing first..." Ms. Li didn't think anyone would ask about Jiang Yousheng at all. After all, even she herself had a desire to think about her niece.

I had the urge to introduce him to him, but I gave up because of my mother-in-law's attitude.

She couldn't do it herself, but it would be nice if she could help Jiang Yousheng marry a girl from the village.

Li didn't hide anything and gave an overview of Jiang Yousheng's situation.

The people of Zhujia Village were familiar with the fact that Jiang Yousheng was despised by Jiangjia Village and was kicked out of the village. However, they did not know much about the fact that he later followed Brother Bao.

What Li wanted to tell them was that he was no longer from Jiangjia Village, which meant that he was a "rootless" person.

Whichever girl wants to marry him, I'm afraid she doesn't have any "clan relatives".

However, this young man is very motivated. He is a popular person in Brother Bao's employ, and he is responsible for a "fat job" such as transporting goods. He has already built a yard in the town.

When I heard that there were no clan relatives, some people retreated: These days, if there are no clan relatives or anything like that, what if something happens?

They don't think that a person who lives alone can live a stable life without the help of his relatives.

Of course, some people also asked Mr. Li: "So...has Jiang Yousheng considered becoming his son-in-law?"

As soon as the words came out, he was interrupted: "You can also imagine it?! This door-to-door son-in-law is so easy to do? Only men who really can't get along will do it. Jiang Yousheng is here.

I bought a house in the town, are you stupid?"

That man also felt that he was a bit whimsical, but for a person without relatives, no matter how good he is, not having relatives is still a "weakness".

Mrs. Li did not "force" them. Seeing that they were not as active as before, she changed the subject: "After harvesting the millet, we have to prepare for the New Year. How are you planning to celebrate this year?"

"How else can I live like before? Kill the pig, buy some new cloth, make new clothes for the children at home, and make them happy..."

Others asked Li how the Zhu family planned to spend this year.

You know, the Zhu family raised two more pigs this year. They had seen it when they went to the latrine before. The pigs were so fat that they could make their house bigger.

With so many pigs, even if there are so many people in the Zhu family, there will still be plenty to eat from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

"Do you plan to sell pork this year? I see, your pigs are growing very well!"

Li laughed and said: "I have this plan, but it's not about selling the New Year Pig, it's something else. If you want to buy cloth, if you want to buy white cloth like in previous years, remember to register with Bamei and tell her first

Tell her, so that she won't be too late. Looking at things like this year, the amount of cloth may be doubled."

"Isn't it?" Someone became anxious when he heard this, "Will it be too late then? Last year, my family was so old that if it wasn't for my lack of cloth, I almost wouldn't have time to make clothes."

"Then there is no way, who has made money this year? Who has made money and doesn't want to buy new clothes for the family?" Li said, "If you really want to dye cloth, you can do it a little earlier. In the past few years,

Bamei and the others are already preparing things for dyeing cloth, and the quantity has been doubled, but they are afraid that there will not be enough by then..."

Compared with whether the Zhu family's New Year Pig will be sold and how much it will cost, obviously whether one's own family can be in line for dyeing is the top priority.

A group of people immediately discussed which day they would take a day off and which day they could make an appointment to go to the town to buy cloth. Others could be put behind, but this cloth must not be put behind.

Other things can be used after buying them. Only this cloth needs to be sent to the Zhu family to be dyed first. In addition, there is also the matter of making clothes. If it is not finished after other years, then it is not a New Year wear.

New clothes, but new clothes after the new year.

Zhu Bamei, Lin Sanmei, and Lin Simei are really busy these days. The hot powder factory has just started to get on the right track, and they have to deal with the "dyeing" matter.

They can hire others for other things, but not for dyeing cloth. This kind of "technical" thing can only be temporarily controlled by themselves.

They also discussed this matter with Ye Yuran.

"Mom, I just taught you how to make sweet potato flour. Anyway, we don't make money from this, but cloth dyeing is different. What I earn now is the money for dyeing cloth. If I hire someone to dye cloth, I will be able to dye cloth by then.

Once the technology is spread, how can I make money if no one asks me to dye cloth in the future?"

Zhu Bamei muttered, but Ye Yuran was noncommittal: "Okay, you can figure it out yourself. If you don't want to hire someone, then you can only do your own business, arrange your own time, and don't tire yourself out just to make money."

"Mom, no, we can earn a little more before the Chinese New Year. Even if it's a little harder, we deserve it." Zhu Bamei looked confident, not afraid of how hard it would be in the future.

Or maybe she didn't think carefully enough and just thought that if she could do it in previous years, she would be able to do it this year.

But what she didn't expect was that the amount of cloth to be dyed would increase so much this year.
