What makes Chen Tianhua happy is that everything he does daily in the lime kiln and aquaculture farm in Shuangqi Town, Shaoxing Prefecture.

Wu Laosan is specifically in charge of the lime kiln, but Liu Wenjie and Hu Yaoxiang have gradually increased their supervision. Although this method will cause more conflicts, it is conducive to supervision and reduces corruption.

The product itself is in short supply. Due to the comprehensive expansion of the Shanghai market, Sheng Xuanhuai and Li Jingfang's matchmaking, and free advertising on the declaration, now, whether it is desiccant or building materials, there is a queue of orders.

The kiln farm's income has increased, and it is planned to expand the scale and build a new kiln farm in the second year.

In terms of aquaculture, except for Guazi Lake farming, which has not yet begun to make a profit, other pond farming, the supporting breeding cycle of yellow inkstone and herring is short, and is very popular among the villagers.

The income of the villagers in Xibutou has increased a lot, and nearby villages have also benefited.

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Tianhua brought a lot of goods from Hangzhou and drove a luxury small train back to the west port.

The whole village was shocked and he was welcomed like a hero, more like a general.

This time he and his fiancée Li Shuzhen returned to Xibutou Village to celebrate the New Year, accompanied by three heavily armed guards.

Of course Zuo Gang is indispensable among them, he is now Chen Tianhua's full-time follower.

Originally, this year Li Cunzhi and Bai Suling told Chen Tianhua that they wanted to invite their mother-in-law to come to Hangzhou to celebrate the New Year.

But Xue Wanzhen disagreed.

A woman with small feet from the countryside took the initiative to visit a wealthy family in a big city. It was not her son's own home, but the official residence of her in-laws. It was obvious that she was climbing the dragon and the phoenix.

Where can I put this face? It’s not like my son is incompetent, how can he be decent!

If she did this, the neighbors in Xibutou Village would tell her that she had no ambition and that her son would belong to someone else's family and become a son-in-law who stepped in.

People's words are scary, so Chen Tianhua naturally respects his mother's ideas.

In the end, it was Chen Tianhua who persuaded Li Cunzhi and his wife to let him take Li Shuzhen back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year.

Li Shuzhen is a new-school girl, so she is quite happy with it.

At first, my mother-in-law Bai Suling disagreed. She was also struggling with a secular face.

There is no reason for a daughter-in-law who has not married yet to take the initiative to go to the countryside to celebrate the New Year at her husband's house.

If this matter spreads, others will laugh at her. Not only does she lower her status, but she will also be stabbed in the back by others, saying that the third young lady of the Li family is a bitch, and she may not be able to marry.

Li Cunzhi had this intention at first, but seeing that Chen Tianhua was a little unhappy, he finally made the deal.

All of this, of course, is based on the fruitful results Chen Tianhua has achieved in Yaojin Mining.

He now values ​​his third son-in-law very much and believes that his future career success is inseparable from this smart and capable son-in-law, so he naturally has to break the rules.

It’s all about human effort!

However, he requested that he go to the countryside in a grand manner and sail on his official ship, a newly purchased imported luxury steamer with two guards.

All this is to increase the identity of the daughter.

Of course Chen Tianhua can understand his father-in-law's thoughts. These are not matters of principle. They are harmless and beneficial to him, so why not do it.

"Wow...it's so majestic. It's like a royal princess came to inspect the countryside. I've never seen anything like this."

"This small steamer is so majestic that it may not even exist in the entire Shaoxing Prefecture."

"This Tugen daughter-in-law is so handsome. She looks like a fairy in the sky. Look at her hands. They are white, tender and slender. They are fortune-seeking hands."

"..."

The villagers and residents of Shuangqi Town who came to watch were all on three floors inside and three floors outside, making it impossible to get through.

Everyone seemed to be watching a Western movie, and they all commented and pointed at each other without hesitation.

Seeing that Li Shuzhen was a little uncomfortable, Chen Tianhua hurriedly said: "This is how the countryside is, don't mind."

"Well...I don't mind if you're here." Li Shuzhen said grandly.

After entering Chen Tianhua's home in Shuangqi Town, Li Shuzhen discovered that every aspect of the house was tastefully decorated, whether it was the garden or the buildings.

Moreover, the main rooms are equipped with fireplaces, and the warmth is lingering. They are no different from the Li family's official residence in Hangzhou, except that the entire residence covers a much smaller area.

This made Li Shuzhen finally feel relieved. He originally thought that he would have to suffer for more than ten days when he came to the countryside.

When the sister-in-law came in, of course Youjuan came to the door of the house to greet her lively. At the age of seventeen, she was tall and graceful, and she had become a big girl.

"Hello, sister-in-law. On behalf of our whole family, I welcome sister-in-law." After studying at Shuangqi Private School for several years, her language skills have improved a lot.

"This is my little sister Youjuan. She is so cute, hehe..."

Li Shuzhen had long heard from Chen Tianhua that there was a naughty little girl at home, but she didn't expect that she was pretty and fashionable, and she didn't look like a country girl.

The aunt and sister-in-law entered the house talking and laughing.

The first thing to do when entering the house is to visit your parents and elders. Since only your mother is at home, it is natural to visit her.

When Xue Wanzhen heard that her unmarried daughter-in-law was coming, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep well for several nights. She ordered the housekeeper and the servants to tidy up the house and the rooms, do a general cleaning, change the bedding, etc.

This morning I even put on satin cotton clothes and trousers, embroidered shoes, and gold and silver to get ready.

I was about to go to the door to greet you, but someone reminded me that even if you are a daughter of an official family, you are the mother-in-law, and as a mother-in-law, you must have the dignity of a mother-in-law.

Therefore, she sent Youjuan to greet her at the door. She sat on the Taishi chair at the top of the front hall, and Tingjuan stood beside her.

The front hall is the place where guests are greeted politely and where the younger generation meets the elders.

Chen Tianhua and Li Shuzhen stepped forward to the threshold of the front hall, and saw their mother sitting at the top. She took a few steps, knelt on the soft cushions that had been placed in advance, and kowtowed, "My son Tugen and his wife Shuzhen kowtow to my mother,

I wish my mother good health and longevity."

Of course, Li Shuzhen knew about this greeting ceremony. She hurriedly followed Chen Tianhua's steps, placed her knees on a soft cushion next to her, and kowtowed respectfully, "Daughter-in-law Shuzhen, I kowtow to your mother."

"Oh, come on, wake up, Shuzhen, I've met your eldest sister." Xue Wanzhen smiled and introduced her eldest daughter, Tingjuan.

"Shuzhen has met the eldest sister," Li Shuzhen bowed down and saluted Tingjuan.

Tingjuan was of course extremely happy to see her sister-in-law, whom she had been waiting for for a long time. She said "Hmm..." twice in return.

Li Shuzhen knew that her eldest sister Tingjuan was deaf and mute, so she naturally wouldn't care about it. It was not easy to return the favor like this.

Chen Tianhua was very concerned about his eldest sister Tingjuan's deafness and muteness. He asked Chen Zongyu to inquire about it in Shaoxing Prefecture and found a Chinese medicine doctor who was good at acupuncture. It was said that this Chinese medicine doctor had great experience in treating deafness and muteness.
