Chapter 592 Peasant Woman 20
The same conversation happened in every family in the clan. Everyone’s life is getting better, so it’s time to start getting married. Before, no one dared to think about this.
Because Miaogou Village is poor, it is not easy for ordinary people to find decent clothes. How can they afford to marry and have children? Everyone could only endure it like this, but we didn’t expect that the hardships would finally come to an end.
Sure enough, as soon as the workshop started construction after the new year, the family held happy events one after another. And Tan You has become a very busy person. There are weddings in the family, and every family invites her to have a drink.
"This month is already the tenth wedding. I think there are new wives coming in, and there are daughters of the right age in the clan." While eating wine, Tan You asked about this incident.
Chen Tianshui stroked his beard: "No one wants to marry outside. They think it is better to stay within the clan. If you marry out, you will have to face all kinds of calculations."
Tan You thought about it: "That's what I said. How about marrying someone in?"
Chen Tianshui thought: "How many sons from good families are willing to marry in these days?"
Tan You has his own opinion: "We don't want to marry anyone nearby? In the village, we can find refugees. There are many refugees outside. Now our tribesmen are working in workshops. In the future, our workshops will need more employees, and the Tiandi tribesmen in the tribe will not have time to take care of them.”
“If so. Let the refugees settle here, and these fields will be cultivated. There are so many pieces of land outside the village. If they are all used up, the harvest in one year will be enough to feed the whole family for three to five years."
This matter is quite big, and Chen Tianshui can't make the decision: "We will discuss it with the clan elders later, but if we want to take in the refugees, we have to find people with good character and ability, and we can't let sneaky people enter the village. .”
Tan You: "Don't worry, as long as the clan elders agree, all these things will be taken care of by me. I think I have some sense of people."
The banquet broke up, Tan You and The clan elders met for a meeting. Everyone has different opinions on what Tan You said about the refugees, but generally speaking, most of them agree.
Instead of being separated from the nearby villages, it is better to accommodate outsiders. Foreigners have no roots. If they want to live in the village, they will have to rely on their clan.
At that time, the clan’s population will increase and its power will become stronger.
After getting accurate information from the clan elders, Tan You didn't waste any time. She took Chen Xi and An Wen to Fucheng the next day. The first purpose of her trip was to find refugees, and the other purpose was to find out the whereabouts of Chen Cui.
But Chen Yue and Chen Xing were still too young, so Tan You sent the sisters to Chen Tianshui's house to stay for a while. The two of them were still very happy. To be honest, they didn't cry, so Tan You was thankful.
When traveling, Tan You didn't deliberately dress up in men's clothing. There was no need. After all, this era was not as feudal as the Qing Dynasty. There are indeed many women walking outside, so it is not unusual for Tan You to be like this.
An Wen sat on the car and said, "Auntie, does it really matter if you are not here at the workshop?"
Tan You: "What does it matter? The elders are all here. , this is not my business, it is the clan’s business, and every clan member will not allow others to destroy this livelihood.”
"Only when personal interests are transformed into everyone's interests, will everyone be united and have no selfish motives."
An Wen lowered his eyes: "This is what Auntie often said about unity."
Tan You spread his hands: "That's more or less the same. We are all experienced and they can do these things well. But the soap workshop is a little weak after all. We have to find other businesses."
Chen Xi Remind Tan You: "In a few months, the mosquito coil workshop will start to be busy again."
Tan You didn't take it seriously: "How can that be enough? What we earn is just a small amount of money. We have to work hard to make money. Work hard to stock up on food. No matter when you have money and food, you won't panic. "It's a pity that we don't have much food on hand. If we have enough flour, we can make instant noodles."

Chen Xi: "The wheat harvest will be harvested in a few months, and the clan will accumulate a lot of wheat."
"Those are everyone's rations," Tan You said softly: "Forget it, I Think of other ways."
She has a lot of ways to make money in her mind, such as paper making, tea printing, etc., but none of these can be protected by the clan. Not only will it not make money, but it will also lead to death.
Anwen thought for a while: "Aunt, you previously entrusted Sihai Grocery to collect wool for you. What are you going to do with the wool?"
Tan You: "That's too much. Wool can be spun to make woolen clothes or woolen cloth, etc. However, wool products also have shortcomings. They shrink easily, especially pure wool. But after wearing a piece of clothing for a long time, everyone always It needs to be cleaned.”
“In the final analysis, there are still many limitations to woolen clothing, so let’s not discuss this for now. Consider setting up a workshop. "
"The reason why I asked Sihai to collect wool is just to make everyone feel better this winter, because woolen sweaters and woolen pants are really warm."
An. I was confused by what I heard. Although I didn’t understand what a woolen sweater was, it sounded like it was very warm.
"Can we make fur? Can we raise rabbits?" Chen Xi raised another point of view: "If the clan raises rabbits, we can eat the rabbit meat ourselves or sell it, and we can sell the rabbit skins. Can be made into clothes”
"Just like the pig farm in the clan."
Tan You: "Rabbits are very good at digging holes, and rabbits are not easy to raise, although they are very fertile. And raising rabbits requires a lot of grass and food. Wait, these are all jobs. "
The risk resistance of breeding is too low. If the animals get sick, it will really be back to before liberation. So secretly, Tan You doesn't want to engage in breeding on a large scale.
A few people were talking all the way, and they were not in a hurry, just letting Da Zao walk slowly. It was also the first time for Tan You to go to Fucheng, and it did feel quite fresh.
The Miaogou Village where they are located is in the southwest of Fucheng. Nowadays, the closer they go to Fucheng, the more people there are and the more prosperous it becomes.
Chen Xi shook her calf: "Mom, this is Fucheng? It's so lively."
Tan You said lightly: "It's natural for Fucheng to be lively."
What others see is Fucheng's. It was prosperous and lively, but what Tanyou saw was flowers and brocade cooking oil. Therefore, in the coming troubled times, she must be the first to seize talents and resources.
Sihai Grocery naturally has a store in Fucheng. By coincidence, when Tan You brought Chen Xi and An Wen to Sihai Grocery, Xue Guanglin was actually in the store. Xue Guanglin was overjoyed when he saw the three people.
“Madam, why are you here in Fucheng?”
Tan You smiled and gently pushed An Wen's back: "There is no news about Chen Cui in town, so I thought about bringing my children to Fucheng to visit."
Thank you for the recommendations, friends. Tickets and monthly passes, thank you all!
