==Chapter 121==

Speaking of it, it was a coincidence. After Boss Chen and Xue Tingyan agreed, he went back and looked for people to inquire about the paper mill.

Those who work in this industry mostly deal with paper mills, ink mills, engraving mills and the like, and they also know that businesses with this kind of craftsmanship are generally not offered to outsiders. But it just so happened that a paper mill with which he often had business dealings was selling its workshop outside.

He asked the owner of the shop and found out why.

It turns out that the business of this paper mill has been not good, and they only make a living by making some bamboo and tissue paper. They even make fire paper, Mingqian and the like during the off-season to subsidize the wages of the craftsmen.

Shanxi is not a big paper-producing province, nor does it have any famous paper. Bamboo and hemp paper are produced in Jiangxi and Fujian, tissue paper is produced in Henan, Guizhou, and Zhejiang, and rice paper is produced in Xuanzhou, Anhui. These are some of the famous places for paper production, and when people buy paper, they always choose these places. purchase.

At best, Shanxi only has tissue paper that can be used, but it is gray in color and slightly thick in texture, which is disliked by others. Just like the lowest-quality bamboo and tissue paper sold in Boss Chen's shop, they are produced locally in Shanxi. Only poor scholars at home would buy this kind of paper for use.

So not only this paper mill, but also other paper mills are having a hard time. It’s just that the owner of this paper mill is really tired of this business. Moreover, the paper mill does not make any money, so the owner of the mill has to do it himself. Needless to say, there is a lot of hard work involved.

It just so happened that the owner of the paper mill was getting old, and his children and grandchildren had switched to other industries, so he didn’t need to earn the money, so he wanted to sell the paper mill out. But no one took over after asking for it for a long time. The owner of the shop was worrying about the livelihood of the craftsmen in the shop, so Boss Chen came to visit.

After some negotiation between the two, Boss Chen bought the paper mill at a relatively low price, and the craftsmen no longer had to find another way out.

Xue Tingyan and Boss Chen went out for a trip. When they came back in the evening, they told Zhao'er that Zhifang was ready.

He took a look and found that although the paper mill was a bit old, the utensils inside were all newly purchased in recent years and could still be used. Even if you add some other tools, it won't cost much money. The partnership contract between him and Boss Chen was also signed. He provided the prescription, and Boss Chen provided the money and took charge of the business. The money earned was divided between the two of them sixty-four.

Xue Tingyan IV.

Originally, Boss Chen said that he accounted for 40%, but now the silver is not valuable, which means that the prescription is valuable. A good recipe can be passed down from generation to generation, and you don’t know how much you can exchange for it. This is how most people get into partnerships.

But Xue Tingyan refused to give in. He knew that he could not take care of the business, so he pointed his finger at Boss Chen in all aspects from now on. Besides, Boss Chen had helped him a lot back then, and he would always remember this kindness.

The matter was settled like this, and after Boss Chen signed a twenty-year contract with the craftsmen, the paper mill was opened again.

Here he was doing his old job to maintain his daily expenses. On the other side, Xue Tingyan went out for several days in a row just to teach the craftsmen how to make paper. The most important thing in rue paper is to prevent insects. He taught Boss Chen what it was like to eat insects.

As for the future, it all depends on Boss Chen.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and we are almost entering the twelfth lunar month.

Every time at this time, it is the slowest period for baby recruitment business. Wang Ji Vegetable Store relies on some hard-earned food such as cellared vegetables, pickled vegetables, meat, eggs, and chickens. The food delivery business has stopped, and Jiang Wu and Gao Sheng can also take a break.

At this moment, there was news from the Jiang family that a happy event was being held, and it was for Jiang Wu.

It turns out that the Jiang family has already chosen a wife for Jiang Wu. She is a girl named Li from a nearby village. It is said that the girl is fair and beautiful, and she is also virtuous and hard-working. Jiang Wu had also met. Just because he was busy, he decided to set the wedding date in the winter lunar month to get married before the twelfth lunar month, so that Jiang Wu could "marry a wife and celebrate the New Year this year."

The Jiang family had been preparing for it for a long time, and they only found out about it when Jiang Wu came to announce the good news as the wedding was approaching.

Gao Sheng and others congratulated him one after another. Zhao'er was also very happy when he heard about it. A group of people told Jiang Wu that they would go to have a wedding banquet.

On the official day, the Jiang family was very lively.

Although the Jiang family has a foreign surname in the village, because the Jiang family has a hunting skill, their life is no worse than that of any other family. Not to mention that since Jiang Wu and Zhao'er started doing business, they didn't know how much money they made for their family.

Nowadays, when my son holds a happy event, he naturally has to do it in a big way. On the first day, the Jiang family was setting up flowing water mats, and on the official day, the whole village came to celebrate.

Only the Xue family did not go. After all, they had filial piety and were afraid of collision.

Jiang Wu, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, was standing in front of the door greeting the guests who came to eat when he suddenly saw a **** dog running towards him. His eyes moved slightly, he spoke to his brother, and then quietly followed the big dog.

I saw Zhao'er far away.

Zhao'er stood there with a swollen belly, wearing a light cyan jacket and a moon-white pleated skirt, with a bun on her head and no jewelry. She looked clean. Maybe it's because he's not as exposed to the sun as before, so Zhao'er looks much fairer, looks better, and has a bright red face.

Jiang Wu was a little stunned.

In the past year or so, he rarely returned to the village and spent a lot of time outside. Although he had only seen Zhao'er before when he was announcing the good news, he suddenly realized that Zhao'er had changed a lot now.

I used to be very popular, fierce and capable. Nowadays, she is a little softer, maybe because she is going to be a mother, the edges of her eyebrows are softened, and there is always a gentle smile in her eyes.

Like this, Zhao'er looked at him and smiled so tenderly.

"Brother Jiang Wu."

Even the voice has changed, less crisp and a little more soft.

Who changed her?

Is he that weak and weak boy?

No, he is no longer a young man, but the famous Xue Juren.

Zhaoer finally came through!

Even Jiang Wu was surprised that he actually thought this way, instead of being jealous every time he thought of that person like before.

Perhaps time can really make everything go away.

"Hey." He responded and said with a smile: "Why are you standing here? Come on, go in and sit down."

Zhaoer frowned and asked, "Have you forgotten that I have filial piety?" Before Jiang Wu could speak, she added, "I originally prepared a gift for my sister-in-law, but it's a pity that you haven't gone to Xiaoshan since that time. I couldn’t give it to you either. No, seeing that the time was almost here, I did it myself.”

Seeing Jiang Wu walking towards her, she quickly stopped him and said, "Don't come over here. I'll let Heizi hold it for you. We can't come into contact, lest it spoil your happiness. You are the groom."

Jiang Wu stopped, Zhao'er took out a slender brocade box from his sleeve, and asked Heizi to run to him with it in his mouth. He knelt down and took it. It was obviously not heavy, but it felt heavy.

It took him a while to stand up, not knowing what to say.

In fact, I have a lot to say, but I just hesitated and hesitated for so long that I became speechless at this time.

"Brother Jiang Wu, I'm leaving." He waved his hand, turned around and planned to leave. She was wearing thick clothes and had a big belly. Her posture was not good-looking and she was clumsy.

"Recruit!"

"Ah!" She stopped, half turned around, and looked at him in surprise.

Seeing her look like this, Jiang Wu's urge that finally arose disappeared immediately. He smiled: "It's okay, I just want to tell you, walk slower when you go back, the road is slippery."

Zhao'er nodded: "Yes, I know. Go quickly and pack up. We have to pick up the bride later."

"Hey."

It seemed that Jiang Wu looked a little weird, and Zhao'er turned around hesitantly. She glanced at Jiang Wu again and then said: "Brother Jiang Wu, you want to be happy."

"You too."

Hearing this, Zhao'er suddenly became cheerful, nodded to Jiang Wu, and led Heizi away.

Jiang Wu watched until her back was no longer visible, and then he looked away.

He stood quietly for a while, suddenly laughed, and then returned to the fiery world full of shouts and noise.

*

Zhaoer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This breath has been hidden in her heart, unable to spit it out or swallow it. Today she can finally let go. She walked slowly all the way, because most of the people in the village gathered at Jiang's house, and it seemed especially quiet everywhere.

Heizi followed her step by step.

One person and one dog walked slowly.

She looked at the grass on the roadside and even the withered tree branches. It was obvious that the scenery was not good, but she was in a good mood.

Suddenly he looked up and saw a person standing not far in front of him.

It was Xue Tingyan who was wearing a blue cotton robe.

"Where are you? You didn't even tell me."

Xue Tingyan's expression was obviously normal, but Zhao'er felt guilty inexplicably. She subconsciously lied: "Today is not Brother Jiang Wu's happy day. I just wanted to take a look. Halfway through, I remembered that I was filial, and turned around again. Come back."

Xue Tingyan walked to her side, helped her move forward, and said calmly: "Why didn't you take a look? I remember that you seemed to have prepared a gift for the Jiang family, why didn't you take it and send it over?"

"Isn't this a sign of filial piety? I asked my sister to take it with me."

Xue Tingyan said oh but said nothing.

The two returned to the hilltop.

There was no one on the hill today. Aunt Gao, mother and son, and Zhao Di were carrying Brother Wei to the wedding banquet, so they were left alone. It was Zhaoer who specifically asked Zhaodi to go there. Since Zhaodi has settled down in the village, she has to get in touch with the villagers. It will also be good for Brother Wei to go out and interact with people more.

It's not too early now. It gets dark early in winter. I usually start cooking at this time and wait until it gets dark to eat. Eat early and rest early.

Xue Tingyan went to the kitchen, scooped a bowl of rice from the rice vat, washed the pot with water, and then sat in front of the kitchen to light a fire. During this period, Zhao'er didn't enter the house, and just followed him step by step.

"Go back to the house, it's cold outside."

"It's not cold in the kitchen either."

The fire was lit, and Xue Tingyan stuffed some dead branches into the fire to start the fire. His white hands, which usually only held pens, could now do these chores with style.

He and Zhao'er usually eat together with everyone, but now Zhao'er has a big belly and gets hungry quickly. Sometimes when she gets hungry in the middle of the night, Xue Tingyan has to cook for her, so it's okay Practiced it.

It’s too complicated to make, but you can still make porridge or a bowl of noodles.

After filling the stove with firewood, Xue Tingyan stood up and went outside to get vegetables.

Every winter here in Yuqing Village, the endless vegetables are frozen outside. People who are not particular about it just display it casually, but people who are particular about it make a special cabinet and put some meat and vegetables in it, so that it will not go bad and it will be clean.

Xue Tingyan took two bowls of mutton from the cabinet and soaked them in a basin for a while. The frozen mutton came out of the bowl. He threw the mutton into the hot pot, and within a short time, he could smell the aroma of stewed mutton.

These muttons are all prepared in advance. One part is mutton, and the other part is frozen mutton soup. You only need to defrost it when you eat it, and add some side dishes.

It is simple and labor-saving. This method was thought up by Zhao'er.

Xue Tingyan took two radishes out from the corner of the kitchen, washed them with water, and chopped them on the chopping board. With a bang, a carrot split into two halves. After a few more bang bang bang sounds, the radish was chopped into small pieces.

Zhao'er was frightened when he heard this and couldn't help but shrink his shoulders.

After Xue Tingyan chopped the radishes and soaked some dried mushrooms, she sat down in front of the stove again. The orange-red firelight illuminated his face, and the jumping flames rendered his fair face with flickering colors.

Zhao'er couldn't help but take two steps forward, squatting next to the stove to warm Heizi, looking at the master, and then at the mistress.

"Your skills are really getting better and better now, it smells delicious!" Zhao'er said with a flattering smile on his face, pretending to be cheerful.

Xue Tingyan snorted.

It was obviously a yes, but Zhao'er could hear a hint of hum.

Zhao'er couldn't hold on any longer, so she looked around pretendingly, and said to herself: "It seems there's nothing I can do to help, so I'll go back to the house." After saying this, she fell into despair. He fled back to the room with agility.

Xue Tingyan glanced at her back with a gloomy face and snorted again.

At the same time, Heizi snorted, licked the corners of his mouth, and touched his trouser legs with his nose.

Xue Tingyan glanced at it: "You bitch! What did you just do? You didn't know what to do and you still want to eat?"

Heizi glanced at him innocently, it was a dog, what else could it be called if it wasn't a dog-legged dog!

*

Dinner was eaten quietly, and after the meal the two of them packed up and took a rest.

He burned hot water to soak his feet. Before getting on the kang, Xue Tingyan added more firewood to the kang, and the two of them lay down.

It seems that because there was too much firewood, the kang was extremely hot today. Zhao'er turned over and over and couldn't sleep, so he could only lift the quilt.

It felt much more comfortable to lift the quilt. She lay with her back on her back, covered her with the quilt when she felt cold, and took it off when she felt hot. She seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Xue Tingyan, on the other hand, remained silent from beginning to end.

When Zhao'er covered him with the quilt again, there was another person behind him.

He still hugged her from behind as before, but he did not just fall asleep, but held his hand in front of her. After squeezing and squeezing, the clothes were untied at some point, and the slightly cold palms slipped in.

These days, Xue Tingyan sometimes behaves dishonestly, but this is just a taste. Zhao'er thought it would be the same this time, so he didn't stop him and instead cooperated somewhat.

But she soon realized that something was wrong. When she reacted, something had already squeezed in.

"What are you doing? It's not possible!" Her voice seemed to be stuck in her throat, small.

The people behind her ignored her at all and pinched her legs. Because of the posture and scruples, it’s not too deep, but it’s the most torturous thing.

She used all her strength to turn her head around, and when she was about to speak, someone bit her lip.

After a riot, the other party let her go, but did not let her go.

In the end, Zhao'er cried and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong..."

He panted slightly and said in a low voice: "What did you do wrong?"

Zhao'er cried like a mess: "I shouldn't lie. In fact, I went to see Brother Jiang Wu and gave him the gift I prepared. After I gave it to him, I came back and bumped into you."

Xue Tingyan snorted and stopped moving.

As if he doesn’t know? In fact, he was always following behind.

He knew that Zhao'er had done nothing, but he just felt uncomfortable.

"Are you still thinking about him?"

"I don't think about him. I treat Brother Jiang Wu as my older brother."

"Could it be Brother Qing?"

Zhaoer pushed him with his hand: "You are unreasonable! How can I have any love for you brother! You are talking nonsense!"

He snorted again.

Zhao'er said in a small voice: "I was just afraid that you would be angry, so I hid it from you."

But whether he hid it or not, he was still angry.

In the next few days, Xue Tingyan's anger never went away. No matter how Zhao'er tried to please him, it was of no use. Even Zhao Di and Aunt Gao noticed it, and privately asked Zhao'er if the couple had a quarrel.

But it doesn’t look like it, Xue Tingyan does everything inside and outside, especially when it comes to recruiting children. For several days, I heard him get up in the middle of the night to cook for Zhao'er. Whose man could do this?

What can Zhaoer say? It can be said that I lost my head for a moment, so I made a mistake and regretted it for eternity. It has been a hundred years since I looked back.

This man is so stingy!

Even though she was gnashing her teeth with hatred, she still turned her head and let him go. She cried for father and mother after being tortured at night, for fear that the child would be tortured.

Time passed day by day, and it was not until the time entered the twelfth lunar month that Li Datian came to the door, and Xue Tingyan's anger subsided.

Li Datian is here for business.
