Chapter 287 Lin Hai's Trojan Horse
"It is a blessing for us to be able to work for Wan Ning. You always consider everyone's needs and take care of the workers. It's a good thing you don't recruit workers, otherwise everyone would be scrambling to come here to work!" Mrs. Xu sighed.
Shen Wanning smiled and said, "Everyone's life is life, and life is not easy for ordinary people. If you can do more, then do as much as you can! By the way, Sister Xu, I will buy two more acres of land nearby as a thank you for your hard work. You and Brother Shunzi can grow some more tea in your free time. Like everyone else in the village, I will collect all the tea you harvest."
"This...this won't do! We came here to work, and you paid us wages. How can I ask you to buy two acres of land for us?" Mrs. Xu waved her hands repeatedly to refuse.
"Mrs. Xu, please don't be polite with me. Everyone in the village has planted tea trees or fruit trees. There is no reason for Mrs. Xu and Brother Dashun to suffer any loss. Besides, Dafu and Dagui are still in school, and there are so many places to spend money. As for Grandma Qin, she is old, so I will let her pay for Hu Zi's tuition." Shen Wanning said.
As for how Hu Zi's academic performance will be in the future, that is not something she can control.
Mrs. Xu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She took Shen Wanning's hand and said, "Sister Wanning, you are truly the benefactor of our Daqing Village and the benefactor of Dashun and me! Thank you, thank you so much for considering us in everything you do."
"What you said is nonsense, Mrs. Xu. If it weren't for you and Brother Dashun, I wouldn't be able to manage this farm." Shen Wanning said with a smile.
Mrs. Xu assured her, "Don't worry, Wan Ning, we will plant tea trees and pick tea leaves in the future, and we will never use the people from Wan Ning's farm. We will pay for people to do it ourselves, or do it ourselves when we have time, and it will not delay your business."
"It's okay, I believe Sister Xu and Brother Dashun, otherwise I wouldn't have brought up this matter." Shen Wanning withdrew her hand and said.
"Thank you Wan Ning, thank you." Mrs. Xu was so moved that she couldn't speak and could only keep thanking her.
"Then it's settled. I'll go to the county government office later and buy two acres of land. I'll give you the land deeds then. By the way, they gave us jasmine and roses last time. You should know where to buy tea trees. Just go there and buy them when the time comes." Shen Wanning said as the two started walking back.
"Okay, okay. We know where to buy tea trees. We have been in the county town for almost a year, and we are very familiar with it. We know exactly what shops are on every street." Mrs. Xu said with a smile.
Shen Wanning nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first. I have to go to the county government office later."
"Stay for dinner before leaving. This place is not far from your house. You can get there in a short time if you ride a horse." Mrs. Xu persuaded him to stay.
"No, my second brother is waiting for me to have dinner with him at home!" Shen Wanning declined.
After discussing with Mrs. Xu, Shen Wanning found the head of a nearby village, immediately bought two acres of fertile land, and then went to the county government to transfer the ownership.
After finishing all this, it was already past six in the afternoon. Only then did she realize that she was a little hungry.
When she got home, she didn't want to bother the servants, so she went back to the express station and got some snacks from there.
The next morning, I set off for Fuzhou again. I checked out Zui Hong Zhuang's business. It was a little slower than last month, but overall, it was still pretty good.
Every day, there are ladies coming to buy soaps, essential oils, etc. I heard from Aunt Gui that the hair conditioner is selling very well this month, and every day there are ladies saying that after using the conditioner, their hair is much smoother and no longer tangles when combing their hair.
The ladies who were shopping for other things in the store learned about it and bought some more, so the conditioner became famous.
Seeing that Zui Hongzhuang was in good order under the care of Nanny Gui, Shen Wanning felt very relieved.
After staying in Fuzhou for only two days, she returned to Daqing Village.
This time, we returned to the county town first, and then went back from there with Lin Jingcheng. Therefore, when we arrived at Daqing Village, it was almost time for dinner.
Lin Dashan and Lin Jiang were doing carpentry work in the yard, while Yue Mingzhu watched from the side. She was talking as she watched, and I didn't know what they were talking about.
When Shen Wanning walked over and took a look, she found that several people were making a Trojan horse, which looked similar to the modern small wooden horse.
It looked like it was almost done. Lin Dashan and Lin Jiang were grinding the wood with sandpaper, trying to make the wooden horse smoother.
"Dad, Xiao Jiang, is the Trojan horse ready?" Shen Wanning walked over and asked.
Lin Dashan smiled innocently, "Yes, it's almost finished. I started grinding it today when Xiaojiang got home from school, and it's almost finished."
Lin Dashan stopped and said, "Xiao Jiang, try it with your hands to see if there is anything that needs to be polished. My hands are rough and I can't feel it."
Yue Mingzhu said first, "Hey, let me do it, let me try it."
After she finished speaking, she reached out and started to feel around on the wooden horse. When she touched the right handle of the wooden horse, she frowned, "Here, here seems a little rough, not so smooth."
"Then let's grind it again." As he said that, Lin Dashan started grinding again.
Aunt Zhang passed by the yard carrying food and called out, "Eat first, and we'll do it after you finish eating."
Lin Dashan responded, but did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he ground even faster.
"Come, touch it again, it should be almost there." Lin Dashan said with a smile.
Yue Mingzhu touched it and said, "Hey, it's really not prickly anymore. It's very smooth. Very good."
"Do you want to give it a try?" Lin Jiang looked at her expectant eyes and finally asked.
"Okay, okay!" She had wanted to sit on it and try it out for a long time, and had been waiting until now until everything was done.
Yue Mingzhu sat on it for a while, holding the handles with both hands, shaking them a few times, and laughing happily. "It's really fun. I didn't play with this kind of wooden horse when I was a child."
"Mingzhu, come and have dinner." Aunt Zhang passed by with food and called out to them.
"Hey, Grandma Zhang, I'm here!" Yue Mingzhu got up from the wooden horse, and everyone came into the main room to eat.
After dinner, Shen Wanning carried Lin Hai out, went back to the room and got a cotton pad, which she put on the wooden horse.
"Come and try Xiaohai's wooden horse, sit on it and take off!" Shen Wanning put Lin Hai on the wooden horse and teased Lin Hai.
When Lin Hai first came into contact with the new toy, he was so happy that he almost went crazy playing with it.
After dinner, Mrs. Wen came over and sat aside to watch the aunt and nephew play the wooden horse together.
"Wan Ning, don't spoil him so much. Be careful not to spoil him." Mrs. Wen said with a chuckle.
