Mrs. Songs words touched Song Yi. The latter still felt lost and confused this time last year. He was worried about whether or not the weather would affect his family’s harvest.

During that time, he had no job and stayed home during winter. Now that he had a proper job with good pay, he no longer felt flustered. Instead, Song Yi felt he had a purpose and a sense of security.

He knew he could keep his family fed and improve their living conditions with his earnings. He and his family could now relax and have fun during the holidays.

Song Yi was also willing to buy glutinous rice balls and tangyuan for the Lantern Festival. He sighed in relief and said, “l know, Mother. I’ve always been grateful to Wenwu.”

Mr. Songs legs had recovered, and Mrs. Song was healthy. The latter also worked in the embroidery shop and made a good living. However, Mr. Song wanted to find a job when his legs healed.

Song Yi had visited Su Wenwu for the New Year’s greetings. The latter told him Su Binglan would open more shops and factories. When the time came, she would hire new workers.

Song Yi was ecstatic when he heard the news. When he returned to tell his parents about it, they were happy, too. Mr. Song had even longed to work for Su Binglan. When the time came, he would apply for a job and attend the interview.

Mrs. Song said, “Let’s be careful with our spending. When your father starts working for Miss Su, we’ll buy a house in Su Teng Village and move there.

Mr. Song asked, “What about this house and our land? Our whole family lives in Northern Mountain Village.”

Mrs. Song said smilingly, “Of course, we’ll keep them. Miss Su will give us a vacation during the spring plowing and autumn harvest seasons. By then, we’ll return and farm. We’ll only stay in Su Teng Village during the work season. I wonder how much it’ll cost to buy a house in Su Teng Village.”

Song Yi said, “l heard many people have bought houses there. Even Du

Xiaoshuan and Li Shi have a house in Su Teng Village. It only cost them a few silver taels.’

A warmth welled in his heart as he spoke.

“If that’s the case, we can afford a house in Su Teng Village now.” Mrs. Song and Song Yi had saved almost all their earnings. They now had dozens of silver taels.

The two had received plenty of bonuses before Chinese New Year. Song Yi and his mother had received almost twenty silver taels then. The Songs felt at ease with their savings.

They became more willing to buy a house in Su Teng Village and buy a house there. Perhaps they could even buy a few acres of land.

Song Yi would give his monthly earnings to his mother. When he heard his mother’s words, he became wide-eyed, saying, “Mother, Wenwu told me his sister will build a commercial street around the embroidery shop.”

“What’s a commercial street? Are there houses there?”

Song Yi nodded. “Yes, there will be more houses in Su Teng Village soon. When the construction finishes, Miss Su will sell the houses there. I believe they’re better than ordinary houses.

“Wenwu spoke of how convenient it’ll be there. The commercial street will have factories, schools, farmers’ markets, and more. Wenwu said the value of those houses will only increase over time.

“It’s not too far off, and it’s a large piece of land that Miss Su bought. She said those who buy houses there will be qualified to buy the surrounding land. We can buy a few acres to grow crops.”

Mrs. Song said, “l wonder how much those houses will cost. Do we have enough savings to buy a house there?”

She felt even more tempted to settle in Su Teng Village. The more she thought about living there, the more excited she became. She also considered her son and future daughter-in-law having a child. If that happened, it would be convenient for their child to attend school.

Song Yi smiled and said, “Wenwu told me the starting prices wouldn’t be too costly. The houses will cost a few dozen coppers per square meter. The most it’ll cost is a hundred coppers per square meter.”

Mr. and Mrs. Song did the math. If it cost a hundred copper per square meter, buying a two hundred square meters house would cost twenty silver taels. Indeed, they could afford to live in Su Teng Village.

The house would cost at least ten silver taels per square meter if cheaper. Then, they would buy a few acres of land. Moreover, they would earn a lot monthly.

By then, the family of three would live in Su Teng Village. Of course, they could never have considered spending that much in the past. Mr. and Mrs. Song could not stop imagining what the houses would look like.

Liu Yinyin’s parents, brother, and sister-in-law made vermicelli overnight. Liu Heng no longer wanted to be an apprentice. Instead, he wanted to help his parents run a business.

The family’s shop and vermicelli business went exceptionally well, as many people ordered their products. Liu Heng would be busy packing vermicelli all day. Although the family was busy, they were enthusiastic.

Liu Heng said, “We can earn much more after this batch of goods goes out. I feel much better doing this than being an apprentice.”

Being an apprentice costs money. He would not earn much even if he completed his apprenticeship. Still, it was better than planting crops. Liu Heng never expected his family to suddenly become rich by selling duck blood vermicelli and noodle products.

Mrs. Liu looked at her grandson and said, “Our vermicelli are of the best quality. People can use them to make various dishes. Even so, not many know about it. We wouldn’t stop working if more people did.”

“Grandma, I don’t think we can handle too many orders.”

“When your aunt visited for the first lunar month, 1 told her we would open a vermicelli factory and hire people to make our products.”

“Grandma, I’ll stay home and help. I won’t return to being an apprentice.”

Mrs. Liu said, “There’s no longer a need to be an apprentice. We have businesses and a craft. We can rely on them to make a living.”

Feng Sisi grew excited. “Liu Heng, you’ll be working with us from now on. I always worried about you when you were an apprentice. Still, I wanted you to have a bright future, no matter how worried I was.”

She only wanted her son to make a living using his skills. However, the family had changed drastically, and Liu Heng no longer needed to study to become a carpenter.

Liu Heng added, “My master had many apprentices but barely taught us much.

We mostly had to figure things out ourselves..”
