Li Shikuan sent Li Xiaonan away, and went straight to his nephew Li Wenhua's house with his hands behind his back. Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Li Wenhua shouted: "Cuiye, where is your father?"
"I'm at home, here, here!" Li Wenhua responded repeatedly and trotted out, "Just as I was about to go over, I just saw a car. Does it look like our grandma?"
"Well, hurry up and get on your horse. Go to Linhai Town right now and ask your second brother and sister-in-law to come back quickly. The whole family will come back and hand over the shop to Xiao Zhou. From now on, Xiao Zhou will be in charge of the shop.
"Go quickly, the sooner the better, and ask your second brother to come back quickly, the sooner the better." Li Shikuan frowned and confessed.
"Ah? Something happened?" Li Wenhua's eyes widened in shock.
"Nothing happened, it's just business.
"Business is all about urgency. Only by being the first to make money can you earn gold. Can you earn gold by taking your time? Go!" Li Shikuan glared at Li Wenhua.
"Okay, okay, I'll go in and change a pair of shoes and leave immediately." Li Wenhua trotted in.
Li Shikuan turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall, calling the children playing on the roadside and asking them to call some elders to the ancestral hall.
Early the next morning, Li Shikuan's second son Li Wenru came back first on horseback.
"I didn't ask you to come back with your wife, where is your wife?" Li Shikuan was having breakfast, and when he saw that only Li Wenru came back, he became serious and asked.
His second son has never had a moment of peace of mind since he was a child!
"It's at the back. We'll be there around noon. Cao and Amin can only take a car. It's too slow. Dad said the faster the better, so I rode back first. Is there a big business?" Li Wenru said from childhood to adulthood.
, I have never been afraid of his father.
Li Shikuan snorted angrily at Li Wenru's smiling appearance, tapped his chopsticks, "Eat first!"
Aunt Tang had already brought salted porridge and fried rice cakes, twisted a wet handkerchief for her second son, and quickly cut a plate of salted mutton and two salted duck eggs.
Li Shikuan looked at the plate of salted mutton and glanced at his wife.
The second child is so angry and generous, at least half of it is his mother-in-law’s habit!
Li Wenru wished he could finish his breakfast in one bite, but his father was very slow, chewing ten times after one bite, so he had no choice but to eat slowly and patiently.
Seeing Li Shikuan finally put down his chopsticks, Li Wenru immediately put down his chopsticks, stretched his head and asked: "Dad, what's the big deal?"
"Grandma came yesterday." Li Shikuan motioned to Li Wenru to make tea.
Li Wenru had no choice but to suppress his temper, stood up and moved the teacup and teapot over.
"Ah Nan said that the case in Linhai Town won't be settled for a while."
"I think so too!" Li Wenru slapped his hand on the table, and facing his father's glare, he hurriedly added: "I really think so. I told Madam Cao, if you don't believe me, ask Madam Cao...
Dad, please continue talking while I make tea!"
Seeing that his father's teeth were crooked, Li Wenru's neck shrank.
"Grandma talked about how more than 50 years ago, the taxes paid by Jiangnan weaving mills were unified to 50%."
"Me too... Dad, please continue!"
Li Wenru faced the slap his father almost made, swallowed the words quickly, and shrank back.
"Ana said that this trip may be the same as fifty years ago. Some weaving mills are afraid of closing. Even if they are not closed, they will have to reduce the number of looms. If this happens, many weavers will be eliminated from the weaving mills. She
We started our journey yesterday, starting from Changshu County, to recruit weavers and set up a school to teach heddle weaving."
"I think so too!" Li Wenru's eyes lit up with excitement.
"I made you think! You bastard!" Li Shikuan slapped Li Wenru on the head.
"I was wrong, Dad, please continue." Li Wenru jumped up, pulled his chair back, and sat down again.
"You bastard, don't interrupt me again!" Li Shikuan was furious.
He gave birth to two sons, the eldest son came to repay his kindness, and the second son came to collect debts!
"Your eldest brother went to Yangzhou to buy cotton thread. This is a big deal. Threads for weaving fine cloth can only be produced in Yangzhou. We really need tens of thousands of looms. If we don't order the fine cotton thread quickly, we will definitely not be able to supply it. This is a big deal.
"Li Shikuan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then explained patiently.
Li Wenru pursed his lips tightly and nodded repeatedly, not daring to say more.
"Your sister-in-law and President Jin Zhuyuzhu are setting up the loom to collect fine cloth. They sent a message asking for help. They are really overwhelmed. When your wife comes back, ask her to help your sister-in-law."
Li Wenru kept nodding.
"Wen Hua is busy with carriages and horses, otherwise he would be uneducated and still better than you! Alas!" Li Shikuan sighed, there really was no one left for him.
"I'm worried about Grandma running around recruiting weavers by herself. You follow Grandma. You've gone to school for so many years. You know a little more about running a school than others." Li Shikuan sighed again. p>
If there wasn't really anyone available, he really wouldn't want to let this ignorant idiot follow Grandma.
"Okay! Dad, don't worry, my ability is no worse than that of my elder brother." Li Wenru raised his chin, quite confident.
Li Shikuan snorted angrily.
"Dad, let me remind you, Yinzhu's husband's family, the Hong family, is involved in the fine cloth business, that one?" Li Wenru leaned forward and rubbed his fingers at his father.
"You don't need to remind me!" Li Shikuan was furious again, "I don't need you to remind me, and the Hong family doesn't need you to remind me either!
"The Hong family has been selling wood for looms for a long time! That old man from the Hong family has become a master! He put his precious grandson on it. The Hong family robbed the loom business, and let Yin Zhu take the dowry and put it away
Take a stake in the muslin business!
"This old thing!"
This old guy's voice is at least 70% to be admired.
"No matter what, they are in-laws and we are our own family." Li Wenru continued with a smile on his face.
Li Shikuan glanced at his son speechlessly, and sighed again, this son is really his debt!
"You take a break, pack up, stop riding, catch a car, and bring more luggage. Grandma didn't bring anything. Go to Changshu to find Grandma first. If you find Grandma, follow her. Remember,
You listen to grandma!"
"Don't worry, Dad! You don't know how good I am? Don't worry, Dad. Hey! All my things are in Cao's car! This is really true!" Li Wenru was very annoyed.
If he had known earlier, he should have rushed back with his luggage!
Li Wenru had no choice but to take a nap. When Mr. Cao came back with several carts, he packed his luggage, had lunch, and drove the cart pulled by two healthy mules to look for Li Xiaonan in Changshu County.
At the palace villa outside Pingjiang City, Wan Qing also received instructions from her son-in-law. After a cheer, she was urged to prepare cars and people. She hurriedly packed her luggage, got in the car, and headed straight for Changshu County.<
