Chapter 1508: Daily Life
The family decided not to tidy up anything today, and they all went to take a bath while Jiang Xinyu went to the kitchen to cook.
Zhang Qiu’e and Old Yang left together, as the little girl is still young, and Zhao Xiaoli is preparing to review.
A simple meal of rice porridge, preserved red vegetable, salted eggs, and the steamed buns bought by Wei Kaiyun.
After eating, the family went to rest. The past twenty-plus days on the road were very uncomfortable.
Luckily, the porridge at night was made with spiritual spring water, making the rice porridge particularly delicious today.
Wei Kaiyun contentedly hugged Jiang Xinyu, "Wife, we’re back."
"Yes, we’re back. Life will be stable from now on."
"I suppose Old Han will let go and not care anymore. It’s impressive that he held on for this long."
"You know, now that you’re back, he has an excuse to let go."
The next morning, the four kids woke up early to practice with Wu Hong, with Jiang Tingting being the tag-along. It’s not that she’s pretending, but she truly lacks athletic ability, and her movements are particularly awkward.
So Wu Hong only requires her to exercise for health.
After the family finished the breakfast Wei Kaiyun bought, they started sorting their luggage.
"Shi Xian, do you need mom’s help?"
"Mom, shouldn’t I be helping you? You have so many things."
"How could that be?" Jiang Xinyu was speechless with her youngest son; this guy has an irritating way of speaking.
The whole morning was spent organizing everything, and of course, the whole family helped with Feifei’s study.
They had clear divisions, with cataloging and stacking.
The family knows Feifei cares a lot about these things, so they were very cautious.
Before noon, the Han father and son arrived.
"All packed? Impressive! Shall we go out to eat?"
Wei Kaiyun shook his head, preferring to stay at home. He can cook, leaving the stir-frying to his wife, and the family can enjoy a decent meal.
"Then let’s eat at your house. Xiao Wei, did you buy the groceries, or should I go buy?"
"I bought them; you just need to wait and eat."
"The school has been arranged. Do you really want them to go to school?"
"Let the kids decide. My view is that having a student record is enough."
"I also don’t want the kids to go. Our family’s kids could go to university with their eyes closed."
Everyone looked speechlessly at Han Xiangjun, wondering where this confidence came from.
After lunch, Han Xiangjun eagerly asked, "Xiao Wei, when are you and Xiao Jiang going to work?"
Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes, "Shouldn’t you let Old Wei rest for a few days? And why am I involved?"
"Xiao Jiang, you don’t know how chaotic the accounts are right now; I have a mental count, but this won’t do. I’m handing it over to you."
"Old Han, it’s unrealistic for me to be in office regularly; I have to take care of the kids."
"Don’t worry, Xiao Jiang, I’ve sorted it out. The two young ones go to school, and let the three older ones self-study, okay?
Moreover, you don’t have to be there long-term; just come back to cook when needed. Of course, if you want to hire someone to cook, that’s fine too."
Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "No need to hire anyone; I can manage myself. I’ll go once a day, but not at a fixed time."
"That’s great; I’ll hand over the money and accounts to you when you go."
Jiang Xinyu felt embarrassed; she seems to have suddenly become the cash manager. Having just sorted out the Li Family Village’s finances, now she has to take over here too?
"You keep the cash; I’ll just handle the accounts."
"I don’t have time; I want a holiday."
The couple looked at him with disdain, knowing that his so-called holiday is a long-term one. His excuse for shirking responsibility is quite convenient.
Jiang Xinyu suddenly laughed, "Old Han, I have a new idea." Her husband is busy too, how can he be carefree?
Han Xiangjun immediately became interested, "Xiao Jiang, what is it?"
"After dinner, I’ll demonstrate; it’s a good thing for the people."
Han Xiangjun is not someone who sticks to maintaining but is an expert at starting new ventures.
After lunch, the family didn’t leave, and Jiang Xinyu brought out a candle, a sheet of plastic, and a hacksaw blade.
She cut the plastic into a rectangle, folded it, fixed one side with the hacksaw blade, passed it over the flame, and then did the other side.
"Look, this is a plastic bag; doesn’t this benefit the people?"
Han Xiangjun took it and looked, "It benefits the people, but it’s too simple; how much can a plastic bag sell for?"
"The profit margin is high, mainly due to demand.
Old Han, you should find an expert to research a machine for making plastic bags, which will allow mass production and even bags with handles for convenience."
"Xiao Jiang, do you have any ideas for such a machine?"
𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"I have a rough concept; I’ll show you the blueprint later. Since my husband and I are managing this side, you handle that part."
Han Xiangjun laughed, "Xiao Jiang, you can’t stand me being idle, but I volunteered for this."
Jiang Xinyu nodded with a smile, "Yes, it’s what you wanted."
Feifei had given Jiang Xinyu the blueprint long ago, but it hadn’t been used yet. It’s her plan to establish a base in the capital.
All afternoon, Han Xiangjun focused on the blueprint.
"Tomorrow, I’ll get someone to build this machine; it should be feasible. The blueprint is detailed, so failing is not an option."
"Actually, you should prepare a plastic factory along with it, so you’re not at anyone’s mercy." Wei Kaiyun wasn’t raining on his friend’s parade, but rather giving a reminder.
"Alright, I get it, let Old Yang handle that part tomorrow." He can’t let him be idle; his long holiday is over. Others shouldn’t expect comfort.
In the evening, Jianbin stayed behind, and today Han Xiangjun had dinner plans outside, while Jianbin wasn’t interested in tagging along.
"Uncle Han, Uncle Han?"
Han Xiangjun turned his head to see Yang Yujie, already grown into a beautiful and vibrant young lady.
"Uncle Han, did Jianbin and the others come back?"
"They came back yesterday."
"Did Feifei and the others come back too?"
"Yes, everyone’s back, so why are you outside?"
"I’m with my parents."
"Alright, you know Uncle Wei’s home, go find them if you like; I have things to do."
"Okay."
Yang Yujie excitedly returned to the private room; Wu Fengying observed that her daughter was sulking earlier but returned with a cheerful face after going outside.
Yang Yujie winked at Zhenyu, and Wu Fengying saw her son also looking thrilled.
She pondered and realized the Wei family must have come; knowing they were supposed to this year. Their visit truly delighted her children; there’s no doubt about it.
