Chapter 270: Let’s Talk About the Ugly Chapter First

Next, the team leader presided over the engagement ceremony of Shen Zhenjiang and Jiang Yuqing. It was nothing more than going through the procedures according to the old rules of the village. Jiang Yuqing's parents even gave a passbook as a dowry for their daughter.

Shen Zhenjiang and Jiang Yuqing were shocked when they saw the money in the passbook. It was too much. Jiang's father said that it was just a gift from them and their daughter, so the two young people had no choice but to accept it.

After the relatives finished watching the engagement process, Shen Zhensheng took some photos for everyone. Of course, he took photos of the newlyweds first. After that, he took photos of the newlyweds and their grandparents together, and then everyone took turns taking photos.

Shen Zhensheng also took photos of his uncles and their entire family. This was their first time taking photos, so everyone was a little nervous.

"Okay, I'm done shooting. I'll send the results back to everyone once they're developed," Shen Zhensheng said after he finished shooting.

After all the work was done, the aunties who came to the kitchen to help cook had already prepared the meal: braised fish, pork stewed with vermicelli, chicken in sauce, spicy rabbit meat... Each dish was served on the table, and it was so delicious.

Because of Xiao Putao's help yesterday, Shen Zhenjiang went up the mountain to hunt a lot of pheasants and rabbits, and Shen Laoer and his friends barely managed to bring them back. In addition, there was fish, meat and ribs given by Shen Zhensheng, so there was enough meat on the table this time, and everyone was eating with great pleasure.

"Wife, let me take our son to eat. It's not convenient for you to eat like this," Shen Zhensheng had to sit at the same table with Shen's father and Jiang's father, so he couldn't take care of his wife while she was eating.

"No, you can eat with Uncle Jiang and the others. The child is obedient and my second sister-in-law is helping me look after him."

"Yes, Third Brother, don't worry, I will help your sister-in-law take care of the child."

Everyone finished the meal in a lively atmosphere. The engagement ceremony of Shen Zhenjiang and Jiang Yuqing was successfully completed, and the last unmarried member of the Shen family was also engaged.

As expected, Shen's mother and father did not invite Shen's eldest aunt and second uncle and his family. If they had come, today's meal might not have been so pleasant.

But there is nothing to worry about. With Shen's mother's home just over there, who would dare to rebel? The tempers of those aunts alone are bad enough that they can teach them a lesson in no time.

After seeing off all the relatives, Shen's mother did not allow Shen Zhensheng and others to help with the cleaning, so Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer took the child home. Shen Zhensheng had been paying attention to Xiao Baoer during lunch in the morning. She had been watching the child and did not eat much, so he had to go home to get something to eat for his wife.

"Wife, I'll get you some of your favorite dishes. Can you eat some more?"

Xiao Baoer nodded. She indeed had not eaten well just now as she was busy taking care of her three children. By the time she started to eat, all the dishes on the table had been cleared away. After all, this feast was rare in the village and everyone wanted to eat a few more bites.

Shen Zhensheng brought her a bowl of mushroom, vegetable and lean meat porridge, and also gave her some stir-fried pork liver, steamed sea bass, minced meat tofu, and stir-fried Chinese cabbage to go with the porridge.

"It's all my fault. I should have brought you a cup of hot milk in a thermos today. Otherwise, you wouldn't be starving until now."

Shen Zhensheng felt very guilty. His wife used to eat some fruits and nuts in the morning at home. Not only did she not have any snacks today, but she is still hungry now. How uncomfortable she must be.

"Don't blame you. I'm not that hungry. I can drink the milk in the evening," Xiao Baoer comforted him.

Shen Zhensheng washed some fruits for her and put them on the table, so that she could eat some to relieve the greasiness of her meal.

"Wife, what do you think of your cousin's wife and the others' suggestion today that they come to work in the factory? Do you want them to come?"

Today, my cousin's wife and her friends did say that they wanted to come and sew clothes. Xiao Baoer did not give a clear answer, but only said that they would plan how many more people to recruit when the factory starts working in a few days.

"As long as the skills are good and the character is good, it doesn't matter who does the work, not to mention the daughter-in-law of my uncle. Do you know these nieces-in-law?"

Shen Zhensheng was not clear about this either. "I don't know. I'll ask my mother later. But it shouldn't be a problem. My aunt and her friends have such bad tempers. If their daughter-in-law had a bad character, they would have kicked her out of the house long ago."

"Okay, let's talk about it after we ask mom. There are 35 people in the factory right now, including the people who follow my aunt. I estimate that we will have to recruit 20 more people once the factory is put into use, because you have a lot of orders."

The two of them initially decided to move the things in the old yard to the factory in three days, and then start working in the factory.

"I plan to have my second sister-in-law go to the factory every afternoon to help Aunt Song Yun manage the factory. Yuqing will be in charge of finances, and my second sister-in-law will be responsible for production. This way, Aunt Song Yun will have a lot of free time."

"Okay, you just need to rest more, and then you can use your abilities after the baby is born," Shen Zhensheng knew that his wife was a very capable person, but she had to give birth to the baby safely first, and couldn't hurt her body.

"I know. I'm being careful."

After Xiao Baoer and the children had rested, Shen Zhensheng went to the old house specifically to ask Shen's mother and cousin's wife about their craftsmanship and character. He had to find out clearly before deciding whether to use them or not.

"They are all good in both craftsmanship and character. Except for your sixth cousin who likes to take advantage of others, they are all down-to-earth and hardworking. But she is timid and dares not do anything. If she doesn't work hard, just chase her away."

"Okay, mother, I have to go to work tomorrow. If my wife asks my cousins ​​to do the work, I'll have to trouble you to tell them. By the way, ask my aunt to tell my sixth cousin not to make my wife angry. She's pregnant and can't get angry."

Shen's mother agreed readily and said that she would have to go and talk to them herself. She couldn't let the third son's wife go there alone with her big belly.

Shen Zhensheng told Xiao Baoer about this in the evening. Xiao Baoer agreed to let them do the work, but asked Shen's mother to warn the aunts that if anyone did not work hard, the factory would definitely not want her. It would be better to speak the truth upfront so that there would be no conflicts in the future.

After Jiang Yuqing's parents left, Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang continued to work together. After two days of short trips, they went on long trips again. Each long trip took at least a week to return.

When Shen Zhensheng came back, the factory had already been put into use. In addition to the original workers and the cousins-in-law who came to work, Xiao Baoer hired some extra people, and now they are able to start making clothes.

She and Jiang Yuqing also calculated the daily wages of workers using sewing machines and those working by hand based on the situation over the past few days, and counted the daily output. The factory was still running relatively smoothly.

Aunt Song Yun also joked, "How could it not be smooth? Everyone is counting the money they earn every day, working very hard, and starting to calculate when they can build a brick house like yours."

"As long as everyone works hard, building a brick and tile house is a piece of cake."

Xiao Baoer looked at the craftsmanship of several cousins' wives. Although they were a little slow at the beginning, they were still good and the workmanship was quite careful.

She strolls around the factory every day, draws designs at home, and teaches her children, and the days pass quickly.
