Chapter 446: An Eventful Summer
In July, the weather is as hot as the sky and the sky, even if she doesn't leave her hand every day, Xu Wenlan still feels hot, and her body is sweaty and sticky, if there is no wind and stuffy for a day, I really want to soak in water all day.
This is still the Northeast, if you live in the South, it will be even more fatal, every time at this time, Xu Wenlan misses the modern little suspenders and shorts.
She wanted to make it out, but that, let alone wearing it, even if she wore it in her own house, she would be scolded for being "immoral".
Shaking the fan in his hand, he looked inside, and shouted, "Master Jin, come out and eat watermelon first!" I used well water to eat it now......"
It was hot, she didn't enter the dyeing room, and she felt that the heat was unbearable, and the guy who was steaming in the dyeing room felt even hot.
Afraid that the guys would be too hot, Xu Wenlan deliberately let the stove cook mung bean soup every day, melon and watermelon for eating, and also boiled some herbal tea from time to time to drink.
The north doesn't pay attention to what kind of herbal tea to drink, I think that thing is sweet or bitter, it is still warm when drinking, how can there be a well to dial cold water to be refreshing, but Xu Wenlan is hindered by letting people cook it every day, and they don't let the guys drink the raw well water directly, and a group of guys can only drink this herbal tea.
Not to mention, I feel refreshed after drinking, steaming in the dyeing room, and not as dizzy as in previous years, plus the melons and fruits continue every day, not to mention Master Jin, even ordinary guys also eat together, less than half a month down, everyone said that the new owner was good.
Not only is the dyeing room here, but also connected to the cloth woolen factory, Xu Wenlan is also serving herbal tea mung bean soup, Bai Cao'er, who guards the Zhi Thread Factory, first felt that it was too wasteful, and muttered to her behind her back: "This wool has not been sold yet, so I hired twenty workers first, and there is not much work, it is good enough for them to eat, and I want to give them mung bean soup or herbal tea, how much does it cost?" ”
Now in these years, there is no such thing as employee benefits, let alone a scorching summer allowance, an owner like Xu Wenlan is indeed rare, everyone is true, but some people say that this owner is stupid.
Xu Wenlan heard Bai Cao'er say, but just laughed "haha": "Let them go, although it costs a little money now, it's better than really hot people, right?" Besides, it's good for the guys, if someone wants to pry it in the future, they will also weigh in their hearts whether other families are so good to them. ”
Now the output of wool is small, first, the proficiency of workers is not high, and second, it has not yet opened, and even the head business has not been completed, and it is normal for the output to be low.
If Xu Wenlan came back from the grassland, he devoted himself to the woolen factory, and in the past few days, he has been staying in the dyeing workshop, also for the sake of dyeing wool.
These masters used to be good at dyeing cloth, but in the end they had never dyed wool, the first two batches, the dyeing was not so uniform, this time Master Jin adjusted the recipe, hoping to succeed at one time.
It's been a month, and there is still no news on the grassland, in fact, how can ordinary people know that the grassland is not peaceful?
Like their family, it was still a coincidence, and they knew some inside information, and Bai Shengwu was on the grassland, so they naturally cared about it.
When he returned to Gushantun, Xu Wenlan didn't know how to explain to the Zhu family, but he felt that the Zhu family must cry when he heard that Bai Shengwu would not come back, but he didn't expect the Zhu family to frown for a long time, and actually smiled: "This time it can be regarded as fulfilling his wish, but in the end, he is still too young, only fifteen, I am afraid that it is true to be a big-headed soldier, where can I be a general?" ”
After that, whether Zhu was crying in his own room, Xu Wenlan didn't know, but in front of them, he kept laughing, not half unhappy, and even in the mood to tease them: "It's good this time, it seems that my daughter-in-law can't run away......"
Being teased like this, Xu Wenlan's face was a little feverish, but in the end she still smiled and hugged Zhu: "Does my mother still want me to marry somewhere else?" I'm just in our house......"
In fact, whether it was Bai Shengwen or Xu Wenlan, they didn't specifically find out about it with the Zhu family, but the two of them got along, and their words and behaviors just became different.
If you want to talk about the Zhu family, you are happy and sad, happy that the eldest son got what he wanted, sad that the second son is afraid that he will be hurt this time, and he is worried about the safety of the second son in addition to being sad.
It's just that no matter how worried she is, she still doesn't show it in front of the children, but she is afraid that it will make them feel more guilty, and it wasn't until Xu Wenlan went to Fucheng that she cried at home while her eldest son went to the county school.
Xu Wenlan naturally didn't know about this, but when the Zhu family relaxed her heart, she didn't talk about those things in front of the Zhu family, but she often inquired with Bai Shengwen about the war situation on the grassland, but the two only said it in correspondence, never in front of the Zhu family.
Even if there is Mr. Zhang's connections, the news on the grassland is not so easy to inquire about, Xu Wenlan has only known that Bai Shengwu has followed the army westward and has not returned yet, and the specific matter is not very clear.
"Alas......" With a low sigh, Xu Wenlan shook her fan, stood up, and wanted to greet Master Jin again.
In the end, there is a difference between men and women, the dyeing room is too hot, and the masters are all shirtless, even if they are wearing calf pants, it is not a place where she, a big girl, can enter casually.
"Jin ......" Before she could speak, there was a burst of laughter from the other end of the dyeing room, Xu Wenlan's voice stopped, and she wanted to listen to it again, but it was a sound of footsteps, and Master Jin rushed out of the dyeing room with his apprentice, not even wearing a shirt.
"The owner, the owner, you see that I have dyed the ......" After shouting, he remembered about the clothes, and his face was a little unbearable, but he scolded his apprentice: "Stinky boy, who made you rush out like this, don't go and get dressed quickly!" ”
The young man muttered, put down the wooden basin in his hand, turned around and rushed back, but Master Jin smiled wryly: "Boss, you see how bright this red is......
Xu Wenlan nodded, only pretending not to see Master Jin's ribs and meat, and only stared at the wool in the basin.
It is more uniform than the last time, and the color is beautiful, too! Master Jin, it seems that you have won the ...... this time."
There was a look of pride on his face, but Master Jin was still modest: "I dried it first, and then I would wash it in water after drying, and then I would know how it was...... It's normal if it's a little floating, but if it's fading, it's not going to happen. ”
Xu Wenlan nodded, and beckoned Master Jin to eat the melon first, but she didn't want him to run away with the basin: "What are you waiting for?" Why don't you take them all to the drying field soon......"
I'm really anxious......
Xu Wenlan shook her head and watched the bare-chested people rushing over one by one, but it was not easy to follow.
She doesn't care, but these men do? She was going to pass, and Bacheng had to scream like a big girl who was peeking at the shower.
Covering her face with a fan, Xu Wenlan snickered, and was thinking about how to add some good dishes under the stove when she heard Bai Cao'er calling her.
"It's amazing......"
Hearing Bai Cao'er shouting one after another, Xu Wenlan frowned and couldn't help but sigh. This grass, can you not be so exaggerated?
