Li Qingzhi discussed with Zhu Qian for a long time and left after lunch. When he left, he took away several books he had not read from Zhu's house.
After leaving Zhu's house, Li Qingzhi went to Sister Wang's house to find Jin Xiaoye.
Jin Xiaoye took a new order, so Sister Wang's house was very lively. There were many women who came to get work and were waiting for Jin Xiaoye and Sister Wang to cut the cloth.
Fang Jinniang had poor eyesight and was very slow in cutting the cloth, so she did not go over to help, but instead did needlework on the side. Li Qingzhi took a look and found that what she was making was not a product of the Jinye Embroidery Workshop, but an ordinary set of clothes.
Judging from the color of the clothes, they should be made for Jin Dajiang and his wife.
He checked yesterday and found that Mr. and Mrs. Jin Dajiang really didn't have a single nice piece of clothing.
"Are you done so quickly?" Jin Xiaoye saw Li Qingzhi.
"Yes." Li Qingzhi said.
Jin Xiaoye said, "We need to buy some things at home, go buy some!"
Jin Xiaoye mentioned several things in one breath, including food and daily necessities. Li Qingzhi waited for her to finish and said, "I'll go buy them right away."
Jin Xiaoye knew that Li Qingzhi had a good memory and would not forget her instructions, so she continued to work after hearing that.
Li Qingzhi carried the basket and bought a lot of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. When he had almost finished buying, he saw Jin Xiaoshu carrying some wood out of the carpenter's shop.
After asking around, Li Qingzhi found out that Jin Xiaoshu and Fang Jinniang had no plans to continue making money these days.
Jin Xiaoshu planned to clean up the house and buy some new things. As for Fang Jinniang, she wanted to make two sets of clothes for Jin Dajiang and his wife.
Jin Dajiang and his wife’s cotton-padded jackets are no longer warm enough. Now that they have some money from the division of the family property, they will definitely buy them some new clothes.
"I bought a bed for my parents. I also bought some things that are missing at home. Tomorrow I will find someone to build a house. I plan to build two more rooms so that we can live in a spacious place..." Jin Xiaoshu was very excited and full of hope for the future. "Brother-in-law, I also ordered a boat. I will have my own boat in the future!"
Before the family was divided, Old Mrs. Jin was very stingy and would not allow anything. Therefore, Jin Xiaoshu had never thought about improving his living environment.
But now he has built a new house, married and divided the family, and he is still the pillar of the family today...
Jin Xiaoshu is very interested in decorating his own home and is very enthusiastic about working.
Li Qingzhi thought it was good for him to be like this.
However, they bought a lot of things, so they might have to take some back first and then come to the county town to buy the rest.
Miaoqian Village.
These days, people in Miaoqian Village have no shortage of things to talk about.
Before the heat of Jin Xiaoshu's marriage and the county government's conscription of laborers had died down, many other things worth talking about appeared one after another.
"This time we built the dock for meat, did you know that?"
"I know! Even Jin Biantou regretted letting his nephew go."
"The county magistrate also went to the dock yesterday!"
"The most important thing is that Li Qingzhi actually knows the county magistrate!"
…
The people in Miaoqian Village couldn't figure out how Li Qingzhi, who had been doing nothing at home since his arm was broken, could know the county magistrate. They had many guesses, but no definite answer, so they talked about the division of the Jin family.
