Chapter 238 The Workshop Starts Operations
Little Li hasn't left yet; he hasn't signed the contract with Xu Qingmeng, but he hasn't told Ya Xing he's quitting.

“Little Li, this courtyard has just been rented. You should leave the carpenter's shop now and come here to manage it…” Xu Qingmeng said.

"It's okay. I'll go back to the business and resign first. After all, the person in charge is already dissatisfied with me. It doesn't matter. If the neighbors ask, I'll just say I came to help out."

After all, with all this help, it would be natural for him to start working for the Gu family.

Xu Qingmeng wanted to laugh when she heard this, as it was similar to the modern-day cheating boyfriend, a seamless transition.

Of course, they don't have that kind of relationship; at most, they've just found a new partner in advance.

We'll sign the contract tomorrow. Renting the yard and buying these things took up a lot of time in meetings.

By the time Xu Qingmeng finished her work, Gu Yunyi had already returned and spent half the day playing with the two little ones.

After the family finished eating, Xu Qingmeng went back to her room first. When Gu Yunyi returned, both children had already been fed.

Both Zhizhi and Ruirui are very easy to soothe. Even now, more than a month old, they are still the kind of babies who can fall asleep quickly as long as they are fed and gently rocked in their cradles.

When Gu Yunyi returned, he brought back a large bucket of water and instructed Gu Yunyi: "Although she has been pregnant for a month, you still need to be careful. Don't think I don't know."

Gu Yunyi nodded obediently: "Yes, I will be more careful."

"But Mother, when did you find out?" Gu Yunyi actually felt he had been quite careful.

Madam He glanced at him and said, "You think you can fool me with your little schemes? I've lived many years longer than you."

Looking at her son, Mrs. He was very pleased.

She had noticed it as early as when Xu Qingmeng took her first bath, but she didn't say anything.

After all, Xu Qingmeng used to pester her to take a bath every day, but then she suddenly stopped pestering her and seemed to be in a good mood. What else could she not know?

The two thought they had kept it a secret, but Madam He knew how much her son cared about Mengniang and knew he would be careful, so she let it go.

"It's true, nothing escapes your eyes, Mother."

"Alright, hurry up and go back inside!"

Xu Qing dreamt that Gu Yunyi brought back a bucket of water, and she was very excited.

After they showered together, Gu Yunyi took a large towel and wrapped it around her.

Xu Qingmeng's eyes widened. "Where did this come from?"

"Your mother had already prepared for this when you first secretly took a bath," Gu Yunyi said with a smile.

Xu Qingmeng's face flushed red instantly. She scratched her head shyly and finally said, "I... I should apologize to Mother tomorrow."

Gu Yunyi was stunned, then shook his head; "Why should I apologize? Mother didn't say anything at the time, which means she didn't blame you, and there's nothing to blame her for. We're all family."

"But..." Xu Qingmeng felt quite embarrassed.

"There are no 'buts'." Gu Yunyi tucked her into the quilt and then said, "Mother may seem a bit shrewish, but she is actually very sensitive and gentle. Although she seems kind and can support and understand any idea, she still agrees with the old ways of our ancestors, but she is not the kind of person who is unsympathetic."

“Of course, Mother is doing this for your own good, and you are doing it so that she won’t worry. You are both doing this for each other, so there’s no need to apologize!” Gu Yunyi lay down next to Xu Qingmeng and hugged her tightly as he spoke.

Xu Qingmeng hugged him back, saying, "Thank you."

"Idiot, I should be thanking you."

Xu Qingmeng had previously heard a saying that if the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is bad, it is definitely because the man in the family doesn't know how to behave.

Men with higher emotional intelligence will achieve balance.

Especially for the man who balances the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if he does it well, there will be far fewer arguments in the family.

Xu Qingmeng hadn't felt much about it before, but now that she thinks about it, Gu Yunyi did a pretty good job in this regard.

She gently rested her head on Gu Yunyi's arm, her voice even softer and sweeter: "Yunyi, our child is really very well-behaved."

"Yes, I know, but you'll have to take care of two children and the shop all at once, it'll be very tiring."

Although Madam He and the servants in the household would help take care of the child, she was, after all, a mother, and spent more time with her.

Although the child is very well-behaved, it doesn't mean that he/she never cries or fusses.

Gu Yunyi knew that Xu Qingmeng was a quiet person. Although she didn't say it, he could tell that she was a little tired.

Gu Yunyi tightened his grip on her arm, saying, "I'll take care of her after the academy's holidays. You just need to do your own thing, okay?"

Xu Qingmeng buried her head in his chest, saying silly things, but she still found it very pleasing.

Before Gu Yunyi could say anything more, he looked down and saw that Xu Qingmeng had already fallen asleep.

Her soft, even breaths sprayed around him, making Gu Yunyi feel ticklish all over, and he held her arm even tighter.

The next day, Xu Qingmeng first went to the workshop in the back. After all, Xiao Li was newly appointed and was full of energy.

The others were also busy, which Xu Qingmeng thought was not bad.

Many restaurants and eateries, knowing that the Gu family's workshop had opened, signed contracts with Xu Qingmeng one after another. After all, the New Year was approaching, and business was good for everyone.

The demand for chili oil is still very high right now. Of course, the demand is increasing day by day, with all kinds of grocery stores, regardless of size, ordering a lot of it.

The overall prices in the prefectural city are much higher than in Quan County, but people there naturally earn more wages, and with more wages, there are naturally more wealthy people.

Even though Gu Jia's chili oil isn't cheap, they might complain a bit when buying it, but when it's time to buy, they don't hesitate and just pay up.

After all, it's almost Chinese New Year, and everyone will have more relatives. This chili oil is really good, and it's great for cooking. Even if your cooking skills aren't great, just adding a little bit of this to your stir-fries will make them taste amazing.

However, this increased demand also means they have to work harder and are constantly rushing to meet deadlines.

However, precisely because of this, it is even more crucial to avoid making mistakes at this time.

Xu Qingmeng instructed Xiao Lizi that hygiene must be done even better at this time. He could not neglect hygiene just because he was in a hurry. This was food, and any mistake would cause unavoidable losses to the workshop.
