With Liang Jiabao gone, there were fewer people in the shop.
However, this time, some people took the initiative to look for her.
The people who came were none other than old acquaintances of Li Xiaoran and the others.
Looking at the two brothers kneeling in front of her, Li Xiaoran was amused.
“Luo Wenchao, Luo Wenbiao, what are you two up to?”
Luo Wenbiao glanced at his brother, Luo Wenchao, but said nothing.
On the other hand, Luo Wenchao said calmly, “Li Xiaoran, I know it’s a little unkind of us to do this, but we really want to work for you! We’ve thought about it carefully. Instead of slacking off every day and not knowing what to do, we might as well work with you.”
With that, the brothers kowtowed three times to Li Xiaoran.
“Please, just bring us brothers along! You’re orderly and upright. Following you and your husband is the best choice!”
Li Xiaoran quickly dodged and said, “Alright, alright, but can you speak properly? What do you take my place as? A temple? Just a casual bow can make your wishes come true!”
Seeing that the brothers still were not getting up, Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Since you’re so sincere about working for me, stand up quickly and dust off your clothes. Then, go change your clothes, wash your hands, and come in to work!”
When Luo Wenchao and Luo Wenbiao heard Li Xiaoran’s words, the brothers looked at each other and froze for a moment.
“You don’t want to work anymore?” Li Xiaoran looked at the brothers and raised her eyebrows.
“Yes, yes!” This time, the Luo brothers quickly stood up and ran to the right to brush off the dust on their bodies and knees. Then, they followed Li Xiaoran to the back of the shop to wash their hands and faces.
Li Xiaoran placed soap by the sink, so after the brothers washed their faces and hands with soap, they followed Bai Shu and the others to work.
It had to be said that with two more young boys, everyone felt much more relaxed with less of a burden.
This time, no matter how many customers came, they would be able to handle it.
On Kang Zheng’s side, he had been looking for a good place to build a house for the past few days, but he didn’t see any suitable land.
Zhao Xiu thought of something and said, “There’s an empty s.p.a.ce not far from where we built the house. It’s not a bad place to build a house. That piece of land is a little small, but it’s more than enough for the two of you!”
“Auntie, is that true? Why don’t you bring me over to take a look later?” Kang Zheng, who was working, asked in surprise.
When Li Xiaoran heard her mother’s words, she remembered something.
That piece of land seemed to be the land of a lonely old woman in the village. Later on, after this old woman pa.s.sed away, she used her land to cover the cost of the burial, so this piece of land became the village’s.
“No one has ever wanted that piece of land, and it’s not suitable for farming. It’s too small for constructing a house, so it’s not a bad idea to buy it!” Li Xiaoran said.
“Since you said it’s not bad, I won’t go take a look. I might as well go and buy that piece of land from the village chief now!” Kang Zheng said impatiently.
“Don’t be anxious. Even if you buy it now, you won’t be able to find anyone to build a house for you anytime soon! Take your time. When my parents’ house is built, you can also find Uncle Chen to build a house for you!” Li Xiaoran suggested.
“Actually, we can buy it now. We can arrange Chen Xiang to help build it at the same time! Now that Chen Xiang has a lot more craftsmen, it’s still possible to free up some manpower to build your house!” Luo Ziyang thought of something and said with a smile.
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Ziyang’s words, she thought of what had happened previously, so she asked, “Chen Xiang recruited all those craftsmen?” Luo Ziyang didn’t hide it from Li Xiaoran. She nodded.
“That’s right! Chen Xiang is quite popular and is very fair. He treats his craftsmen very well, so everyone is willing to follow him! Sister-in-law, the Han family is furious and is in a very bad situation now!”
Speaking of this, Luo Ziyang was delighted!
The Han family had always schemed against his brother. Now, they had finally gotten their retribution!
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she fell into deep thought.
“If that’s the case, Ziyang, you have to keep a close eye on the Han family! According to my understanding of the Han family, they will definitely do something eles. They might target us: Luo Ziyang nodded when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
He had been guarding against this, so he asked his buddies to keep an eye on them recently.
Once the other party made any moves, he would quickly receive the news.
After Kang Zheng received the news, he brought Wen Lu to take a look at the piece of land Zhao Xiu had mentioned previously.
After the couple saw it, they were very satisfied. Then, they went to look for Old Master Guo to buy the land.
That piece of land wasn’t suitable for farming, so it was very cheap.
After buying the land, Kang Zheng and Wen Lu went to look for Chen Xiang to discuss the construction of the house.
It just so happened that Li Shun and Zhao Xiu’s house was about to be completed. After the roof was up, they could basically end work.
At this moment, Kang Zheng was just in time to receive them, so Chen Xiang naturally agreed.
Because they were all acquaintances, Chen Xiang’s asking price was very fair. The next day, he started sending people to build the house.
“Great, when your house is built, we’ll be neighbors. It’ll be more convenient for us to visit each other in the future!” Zhao Xiu teased.
“Mother, you work in the shop all day long. You only want to rest after you go back. How can you have time to visit?!” Li Xiaoqing reminded her.
They all laughed at that.
“Sigh, my health is deteriorating day by day. There will be a time when I can’t work anymore. At that time, I’ll visit all the neighbors!” Zhao Xiu said.
When Li Xiaoran heard her mother’s words, she laughed.
As expected, Zhao Xiu looked a little haggard after this period of busyness.
Her body, which had recuperated previously, looked a little thinner now.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran remembered what she wanted to do previously, so she had a thought.
“Mom, the shop isn’t that busy now. Let’s go out for a walk!”
Zhao Xiu looked at her daughter’s expression and knew that she must have something important to tell her, so she nodded.
The others watched over the shop, while the mother and daughter left the shop together and walked towards the field.
When there was no one around, Li Xiaoran walked forward and held Zhao Xiu’s hand.
“Mother, I’ve never asked you what you like to do..”
