Su Binglan did not expect the villagers to know so much. They probably knew more about the benefits of the tofu factory and embroidery shop than she did. She smiled and nodded. Yes, thats right.

We must apply for the job when your winery opens, Miss Su.

Su Binglan smiled and nodded again. After all, the winery would need a lot of help making and storing wine. She also planned to make milk tea in the future. She wanted to sell rice wine, fruit wine, and milk tea the winery would make to various places.

Su Fengzhang returned from sending wine to Old Master Su and Su Zhengde earlier as everyone was excitedly discussing this. Everyone was happy when he went to deliver their wine as they typically could not drink such things. They were even happier when they heard Su Binglan had helped make the wine.

Su Fengzhang opened his door after exchanging a few words with his neighbors, and everyone dispersed shortly after.

Although they were neighbors and had no bad intentions, it was impolite to loiter in front of Su Zhengdes house. Some went home, while others ran to other villages as they had relatives living there. They wanted to tell their relatives about the new job opportunity.

These people could only see each other during New Years and other festivals, but their family members had frequently been visiting lately and even brought things with them.

They knew they had to tell their relatives to apply quickly since Su Binglan from Su Teng Village would hire people soon. Su Binglan had emphasized it many times, and the villagers remembered it and rushed to their relatives houses as soon as they got the news.

Su Binglan went to her grandparents house shortly after. Old Madam Su and Old Master Su would be living with their youngest son in the future, as he was about to get married. They had also expanded their previous house.

It was a bit small last time, but they had a vast open s.p.a.ce outside, so the two bought the open s.p.a.ce to expand their house.

The house now had eight rooms. They had also made the house bigger to make it more convenient for making grilled chicken, roast duck, and preserved and salted eggs.

The family could not do all their work alone and had to hire a few women from the village to help. The house was too small and busy last time, but no longer, as they had made it more prominent. They had even made a room to store the birds feathers Su Binglan needed.

When Su Binglan brought the wine over, she could feel how s.p.a.cious the new house was and how vast the courtyard was.

Old Master Su, Old Madam Su, Su Fengchen, and Miao Zhizhi would work in the courtyard in the past, but winter had arrived, so they worked inside instead.

Two of the eight rooms were large, so the family used them to make the grilled chicken and roast duck.

However, Old Master Su and his wife took a break from making grilled chicken and roast duck as they were busy preparing for the wedding that would happen in three days.

Lets prepare everything we can so that we wont have to rush on that day, Old Madam Su said, Were only inviting the Su family, so we must arrange eight tables.

Although her life was better now, Old Madam Su did not like being too extravagant and wasteful.

Well invite the Su family, my maternal family, your uncles, nephews, and nieces. Well have eight tables, and each table will have ten people. Also Old

Madam Su would explain some details, and her husband would add on while Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi listened.

The young couple was a little nervous. Su Fengchen was still a kid when his three brothers married, so he did not know what to prioritize or pay attention to when planning his wedding.

However, his parents helped him, and he remembered everything. Miao Zhizhi would smile from time to time as she listened to the older couple.

Old Madam Su was still talking when Su Binglan entered. h.e.l.lo, everyone.

Su Binglan had started calling Miao Zhizhi Aunt Zhizhi since she and Su Fengcheng got engaged. Miao Zhizhi liked it when Su Binglan called her that, as it made her feel like a member of the Su family.

Everyone stopped talking and stood up when they saw Su Binglan. Its such a cold day. Why did you come here, Binglan?

Su Binglan revealed the wine jar and answered, I came bearing wine for

Grandpa and Uncle Fengchen.

Old Master Su could not conceal his smile when he heard the word wine. I wondered why it smelled so good. The wine you brought must be of high quality, then.

Su Fengchen was delighted as well. He was not a fan of wine, so he would only drink a little because of its fragrance.

Su Binglan placed the wine jar on the table and said, Grandpa, this is the wine we brewed ourselves. It smells good, doesnt it? You and Uncle Fengchen should have a good drink tonight.

Then we should eat good food to go along with the wine, Old Master Su said,

Well make more food for dinner, and we expect you to stay for some. I can just go home for dinner, Grandpa.

Why are you being so shy with me? We should call Fengzhang, your father, and Fengzhi to drink with us.

Su Binglan explained, Ive already sent them some wine, even to Granduncle Sus side. You dont have to worry about them, Grandpa. I plan to use our own brand of wine to entertain the guests during Uncle Fengchens wedding. We dont even need to buy any.

Binglan, Su Fengchen said, I cant let you spend so much money. Ill buy it from you.

He felt his niece had already prepared too many highly costly things for his wedding and felt apologetic.

However, Su Binglan said thoughtfully, Youre treating me like a stranger,

Uncle Fengchen. As your niece, I should prepare some gifts for your wedding. Also, its such a happy occasion, and Im happy to prepare these things for you.

Old Madam Su said, Having a precious granddaughter like you is perfect. Your grandfather and I were considering what wine to buy. We prepared some things in advance but didnt prepare any wine.

Your mother said you had brewed wine, so Im curious about how good your wine is. Since you made some, your grandfather and I no longer have to buy wine. Well gladly use your wine for your uncles wedding.

Su Binglan laughed, Thats good, Grandma. We can let everyone have a taste of our wine.

Su Binglan had only come to deliver wine, but her grandparents had warmly invited her to stay for dinner, and she accepted.

She looked around the wedding area and thought the layout was simple. Then she asked Su Fengchen for some red paper and started folding some decorative ornaments, like many little stars, and strung them up.

Uncle Fengchen, Ill make you a portiere. Su Binglan folded paper cranes, stars, and heart shapes and strung them together to make a portiere.

Everyone watched her fold these things but did not know what exactly she was doing. Still, they thought they looked gorgeous.

Su Binglans hands were nimble, and she did this quickly. She had already made a beautiful red portiere as dinner time arrived..
