Seeing that the weaving mills in Pingjiang City were busy again, Yu Dalang stood in the corner of the counter in Yujia Cloth Shop diagonally opposite Yueyang Cloth Shop, looking at the people coming and going in Yueyang Cloth Shop diagonally opposite, feeling depressed.<
/p>
When the weaving mills outside Pingjiang City stopped working, he thought it was an opportunity, but at that time he really didn't dare to move. When he later heard that the Yueyang Ship had bought many weavers, and later harvested autumn silkworm cocoons,
He almost got it right, but both his mother-in-law and his wife said he was too stupid and bold, especially his wife.
Yu Dalang glanced back at Grandma Wu, who was half sitting and half lying in the chair.
Grandma Wu was eating persimmons, looking at the busy workers, and caressing her belly lovingly with one hand. She was pregnant, but she hadn't shown her pregnancy yet, so she had to caress her from time to time to remind everyone who could see her.
p>
Pregnant people are precious, but they cannot withstand collisions.
Seeing the waiter carefully going around Grandma Wu as he walked back and forth, Yu Dalang shouted impatiently, "Don't sit there and get in the way. Go home and don't run into the shop every day."
"Hey! If I don't come to the shop every day, who will be watching our shop? You can leave whenever you want, but you won't leave. Look at you, just stare outside." Grandma Wu was thinking about the Yueyang Cloth Shop opposite.
, snorted,
Da Lang must still be thinking about the second son of the Li family, she has to watch!
"What are you looking at? Can you sell goods or do accounts?" Yu Dalang was in a bad mood and became angry.
"If I can sell goods and do accounting, why do I need them?"
Grandma Wu threw the persimmon jelly balls at a waiter. She stood up using the armrest of the chair, supported her waist and walked to the side of Yu Dalang. She followed Yu Dalang's gaze and stretched her head to look outside.
"You've been looking here for a long time, what are you looking at! In the past two months, the only one who has come and gone in the shop is Sister-in-law Yin, and no one else!"
Grandma Wu glanced sideways at Yu Dalang from the Yueyang on the opposite side, and her words were thorny.
"We've all gone to collect autumn silkworm cocoons." Yu Dalang was focused on making money and didn't hear the thorn in his wife's words.
Grandma Wu's face suddenly darkened, and she turned sideways to Yu Dalang.
He knew very well where the second son of the Li family had gone! He kept it in mind and asked about it all the time! He dared to tell her!
Grandma Wu bit her lip and was thinking about how to beat it, when Yu Dalang continued:
"I said to buy some weavers and collect some autumn silkworm cocoons. You try your best to stop them. Look at it now. Look at it! Yueyang must have collected a lot of autumn silkworm cocoons this time. You don't have to do anything. Just turn it over.
Selling it to a weaver is a huge profit! With this huge profit, his family will drive down the price of fine cloth. How can we afford to keep up?"
Yu Dalang became angrier as he talked.
Grandma Wu snorted, was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked: "How do you know they can make a lot of money? Maybe it's a loss. Mother Miao asked and said that the weaving mill can't open for a year and a half!"

"The weaving mill has started work." Yu Dalang became even more annoyed, said it, turned around and left.
"Work has started? Hey, don't leave!" Grandma Wu rushed after her.
………………………………
There were still two days before the stove sacrifice, and as evening approached, Li Yuzhu and Li Jinzhu rushed home one after another.
The house suddenly became lively.
Li Yuzhu arrived home first. Ah Wu and Li Xiaonan had just returned from fishing at the lake. Ah Wu had just arranged the fishing rods and lines neatly behind the screen wall. When he heard the movement, he stretched his head and saw it was Li Yuzhu, and hurriedly shouted,
Welcomed out of the courtyard, took a large bamboo basket from the driver and carried it on his shoulder.
Sister Mei rushed out first, passed A Wu, grabbed the baggage from Li Yuzhu's hand, and said with a smile, "I just told A Nan when you would come back, and she came back before I could finish the sentence! Is it cold? I'm exhausted.
Right?"
Yuting and Li Xiaonan rushed out one after another.
"Go in first, go in first, it's cold outside." Sister Mei stuffed the bag into Yuting, pushed Li Yuzhu in, and dusted Li Yuzhu by patting her from top to bottom.
"Sister Mei, stop taking pictures. Look, the ashes are flying all over me." Li Xiaonan said with a smile.
Sister Mei is so strong now that it hurts to pat her.
"No, look at me, I get mad when I'm happy. Come in and sit down, wash your face first, take off your clothes and wash yourself. Grandma will make tea for your second sister, what kind of tea, what kind of tea for you.
It tastes delicious." Sister Mei ran towards the kitchen, carrying a large copper pot of hot water.
Li Yuzhu was surrounded by everyone, took off her outer coat, washed her hands and face, sat down and took the tea, looked around and asked: "Where is your brother? Is he on vacation from school?"
"It's a holiday. We have a cultural gathering today and we have to go on a night trip or something." Li Xiaonan replied.
Li Yuzhu drank the tea in one breath and signaled to Yu Ting, "That bamboo basket is what Grandma likes to eat. Take it out quickly and don't crush it."
"They were all bought by Second Sister? Did you buy so much?" Li Xiaonan's eyes widened in surprise.
Her eldest sister wanted to break a copper coin into two pieces. When her eldest sister broke the copper coin, her second sister watched closely. If any scum fell out, she had to pick it up.
Second sister actually bought so many of her favorite foods?
Everything she likes to eat is very expensive!
"I don't have any spare money to buy snacks. All the schools gave them to you, saying that you had eaten them at their home and liked them. In the schools I went to, every school has your favorite food, and every one of you eats them.
Passed?" Li Yuzhu looked at Li Xiaonan and asked.
Awu burst out laughing, "She even went around to have another meal!"
"Second Sister, you are very thirsty. Let me pour you another cup. How do you feel about this trip, Second Sister? Are you starting to prepare for the New Year? Are you going to have a good New Year?" Li Xiaonan looked attentive and took the cup.
Make tea for the second sister.
"They are all from poor families, and the New Year's bonus alone is enough to celebrate the New Year. There are many gifts from students in each school, including everything." Li Yuzhu was talking and watched Yuting take things out of the bamboo basket.
He signaled: "I have written notes about which things belong to which school. You can show them to my grandmother."
Yuting handed all kinds of food to Li Xiaonan. Li Xiaonan looked at them and listened to the second sister's words.
"A dozen schools said they would be closed on the first day or two of the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, but there were no students for these two days. I replied as you said: these are all arranged by themselves. The number of students in each school is in that booklet
There were a lot more people there than the last time.
"On the way, I met my fourth aunt and second cousin's sister several times. They were very busy with the credit loom business, and they said they wouldn't be able to return home until the twenty-seventh or twenty-eighth of the new year.
"It's said that we don't have enough looms to make it now. You have to ask Mr. Hong about the looms later.
"I met the lobby aunt on the way. She came back from Yangzhou and took a long journey. She went back to Lijiaji. The lobby aunt said that when we get back to Lijiaji, she will tell you more about the cotton thread."

"Awu, Sister Mei!"
A shout outside the gate interrupted Li Yuzhu's words, and Ah Wu jumped out, "The elder sister is back!"
Everyone rushed out and surrounded Li Jinzhu, talking and laughing as they entered the main room.
