Su Zhengde laughed heartily before saying, “Sure, Binglan. I can do it for you. I’ve seen the blueprints, but I’m curious about this thing. I can’t wait to see what it’ll look like once my team builds it. I’m sure it’ll look terrific.
He loved looking at the blueprints his niece designed. He felt a sense of achievement just looking at them.
Meanwhile, Su Xueye looked at his grandfather and feigned disappointment. ‘Grandpa, I want to build the staff dormitories, too. I’ve never built such a thing before.”
Su Zhengde replied, “All right, I’ll build the winery then.”
“I was just joking with you, Grandpa. After all, Aunt Binglan says she still has many more things for us to build.”
Su Binglan looked at the blueprints and thought it would be great if the duo could build a multi-story building. However, concrete did not exist in that era yet. If it did, the duo could build a taller building.
Fortunately, Su Binglan still had much more land and did not want to do that to avoid attracting attention.
‘It’s best to keep a low profile for now. I’ll build these things according to the architectural style of this era.’
Then she revealed another blueprint and said, “Uncle Zhengde, I’d like you guys to help me make this, too.”
“What’s this, Binglan?” Su Zhengde’s eldest son looked at the blueprint curiously.
Su Binglan then explained the blueprint contents in detail. After hearing her explanation, everyone nodded. “So it’s a small dining cart with wheels to make it more convenient for pushing.”
“It’ll be easier to set up a stall in town with a cart like this.” “Look, there are cabinets below for storing items, too.” Everyone discussed the small dining cart’s structure in amazement. Everyone was curious and could not wait to build it.
“Don’t worry, Binglan. I’ll make it for you tomorrow,” Su Xueye’s father said.
“I’m relieved to hear that.” Su Binglan smiled, then asked about the embroidery shop’s progress.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Binglan,” Su Xueye said, “We’ll complete it in a few days according to your specifications. There won’t be any issues.”
“I’m not worried about you at all,” Su Binglan spoke with them for a while more and left shortly after.
Many villagers and their families could not sleep that night. They planted their seeds and had nothing else to do. They became excited when Chief Su made another announcement.
They had heard from Chief Su that the tofu factory would hire six more people.
Although only six spots were available, everyone in the village eyed them. Many of them discussed it overnight.
“The factory is finally hiring again!’
“Chief Su told us that, so it must be true. They will do interviews tomorrow morning.”
“I know how good my eldest daughter-in-law’s job is at the factory. So, I’ll try sending my second and third sons for the interview.”
“It’s great that the factory is hiring again. I used to have terrible headaches and couldn’t work there, but I’m fine after taking the medicine Miss Su prescribed me. Now I can go for the interview tomorrow morning. I hope I get in this time.”
“It would be perfect if you could work there, my dear wife.”
“I know. I’ll work in the morning and night so that I won’t delay the housework.”
“I can help care for our family. I’ll cook for you before you go to the interview tomorrow.”
“I’ll make you something delicious tomorrow morning, my dear girl. Sleep well tonight and be in good spirits for tomorrow’s interview, okay?”
“Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll answer every question Miss Su asks me.”
“Yeah, the factory pays well, so you must perform your best.”
Many families discussed the interview and went to bed later than usual. No one would be willing to keep their candles, or oil lamps lit on regular days. However, they made an exception that night.
Everyone busied themselves the following morning. Su Binglan went to the factory with her mother after breakfast to conduct the interviews. Shen Qiuhua was about to start preparing the stinky tofu, too.
Su Binglan expected the queue to be shorter when she arrived at the factory. Instead, the exceedingly long queue startled her. She only expected a few people to attend the interview as she would only hire six more people. There were even more people compared to the first time.
Su Binglan thought that many villagers did not attend the first interview because they did not know about the factory’s situation. However, she noticed many familiar faces during this interview.
Someone happily told Su Binglan, “I’m in good health now thanks to the medicine you gave me, Miss Su. I won’t feel tired if I work now. Instead, I feel more energized.”
“Miss Su, the medicine you gave me was very effective. My mother is in much better health now, and I no longer have to stay home to care for her. She wakes up by herself now so that I can come out and work without delay.”
“I came for the first interview, Miss Su. I’ve been working very hard recently, so you don’t have to worry because I’ll do my best if I can work at the factory.” “Miss Su, I don’t even know how to thank you.”
“I’ve already planted the rapeseeds you mentioned, Miss Su. I have so much free time now and want to work for you. I’ll be proud to work for you.”
“Miss Su, my eldest daughter-in-law works in your factory, so I know your factory’s quality. Since I’m in good health now, I hope to work for you. I can do many things.”
Everyone had attended the interview to answer Su Binglan’s questions, but they could not help but show their gratitude and chatter when they saw her. They said everything they had kept in their hearts.
Then Su Binglan understood why so many people came. They had taken the
medicine she had prescribed them and recovered. They no longer had health issues and could work at the factory.
Su Binglan was delighted to see everyone, especially because everyone was high-spirited.
‘No wonder there are so many familiar faces here.’
She could feel how much everyone wanted to work at the factory. She thought about how she would officially open her embroidery shop in a few days and asked them if they knew how to do needlework.
Everyone became even more excited when they heard her asking about needlework. The villagers already knew that a few people had started embroidering for Su Binglan.
Everyone wanted to work for Su Binglan.
“Miss Su, I know how to do needlework. I made the clothes I’m wearing for the interview.”
“Miss Su, I know how to sew and patch, but I don’t know how to make clothes.
I just know basic needlework.”
“I-I haven’t learned needlework, but I’m willing to try..”
