Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Do as You Say

Zhou He’s face turned red all of a sudden, feeling the snickers of the vendor nearby, she had no choice but to take the meat bun and started eating with her head down.

Xu Nianji ate very quickly, and the buns were still steaming hot. He deliberately left one for her, probably wanting her to taste the flavor of the meat bun, right?

Being married to such a caring person, Zhou He felt very fortunate.

Without delaying too long here, Zhou He went back to the factory to work. Today, with the addition of fried fish, Ji Ying and Zhou He had to make more fish and chili sauce. It was their first attempt, but looking at those fragrant and crispy fish, they both felt the flavor must be exceptionally delicious.

In Gaoliang County, at the Zou Family’s place.

Xu Qinghe came to the Zou Family to do carpentry. The newly built two-story house looked very imposing, complete with a yard, and both inside and out, it exuded wealth.

For instance, the clean and smooth floor tiles on the ground, even the gate looked more impressive than other houses.

"Mom, I have so many clothes they can’t all fit; this room is too small," Zou Yaru complained about the size of her room, incessantly asking her mother to add more cabinets.

Xu Qinghe, who was working on the side, heard this and, thinking of his daughter’s suggestion, looked at them and figured they didn’t seem short on money, so he offered, "Actually, there’s a kind of cabinet that reaches the ceiling and can hold more clothes."

"A cabinet that reaches the ceiling?" Zou Yaru’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing it could hold more clothes.

Xu Qinghe nodded and said, "That’s right, you can make cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling. You can store seasonal quilts and clothes on top and below, there can be sections to hang and fold clothes, as well as drawers."

Zou Yaru was very interested and asked Xu Qinghe to sketch it out briefly. She didn’t realize until he drew it just how pleased she would be. She could even design it herself, wanting many drawers and lots of space to hang clothes.

"Do it the way you said; money is no issue."

Zou Yaru returned to her room to reassess. Before, she had thought about making two cabinets and joining them together, but now, having heard Xu Qinghe’s idea, she envisioned an entire wall turning into cabinets, possibly even hiding a mirror inside. She felt extremely anticipatory.

Once Xu Qinghe received confirmation, he naturally wanted to do the job even better.

He watched as his wife and daughter-in-law had started factories, his eldest son was selling bean sprouts and earning more money than he ever did, and his younger son and daughter were his pride and hope!

Xu Qinghe felt that, as a father, he couldn’t afford to fall behind, right?

The labels for fish chili sauce were ready, distinguished from the regular chili sauce with an extra fish drawn on them.

National Day was fast approaching, and Pei Yicheng had Ling Dong help to pack more jars of chili sauce, striving to make more so that on this trip to South City, they would not only seek treatment for the leg but also explore more sales channels for the chili sauce.

Because of this, everyone in the food factory was working extra hard, hoping to make more chili sauce.

"Ji Ying, why don’t you make the chili sauce during the day, and at night, I’ll do the bottling?" Wu Meili thought she was quite fast at bottling the chili sauce.

"Sister Wu, bottling chili sauce is really time-consuming. If you’re bored at night, you could chop the chili peppers for us," Ji Ying felt a bit embarrassed to assign Wu Meili work, considering she was only paid for daytime hours. Working at night would mean she wasn’t being fairly compensated, right?

Wu Meili was very efficient; every night, she chopped a lot of chili peppers, giving Ji Ying and the others more time during the day.

When Xu Nianhua found out about this by chance, he quietly said to Ji Ying, "Mom, since she’s been doing a lot, when it’s time to settle wages, we can just give her a bit of overtime pay."
