Since An Shuyao could come out for one day, she would not be able to stay at home peacefully for the rest of the day.
On New Year's Eve, the grand New Year's Eve, Aunt He, Guili and Yanyu cleaned the inside and outside of Hu's house, posted couplets, pasted door gods, cut window grilles, and divided the work and cooperated very harmoniously.
The snow has stopped falling. The road from Yanshi Village to Taolin County has finally been opened. The villagers can go out. Naturally, they no longer want to take advantage of An Shuyao's family's food. The villagers who have money at home have spontaneously pooled their money.
Shopping for New Year's goods in the county.
They all decided unanimously that this year everyone in the village would eat from a big pot.
An Shuyao looked at everyone's busy and excited figures and sighed in her heart. This year happened to be a snowstorm. She prayed for good weather in the coming year and that her career would be on track.
That night.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone went back to their respective houses. Only the lights in Hu's house were still on. Mother An greeted her sons: "Come, come, come and play mahjong. If you have more money, I'll give it to you."
pocket money."
An Jingzhou looked at her with disbelief: "Mom, where did you get the money?"
An's mother glared at him: "What are you talking about? I don't have any money yet? What are you talking about!"
An Jingzhou: "..."
If he remembered correctly, his parents came from nothing.
An Shuyao coughed lightly: "Just let it go and play, mother is rich."
An Jingzhou felt relieved now. He missed the romantic places in Tianyuan City. He had to save some money to have fun next time.
So I happily went to the card table.
Lu Jin took a look at An Jingzhou's pocket and whispered to An Shuyao: "My husband will give you the new year's money."
An Shuyao raised her eyebrows slightly and snorted: "Don't lose, then I'll give you some money."
"How could it be?" Lu Jin didn't think he would lose, but he still had to be cautious when fighting against several uncles who were very ambitious.
An's mother was also afraid of losing, so she finally replaced her third son. An Tanqing was a businessman, a prostitute, and played a lot of chess and card games. Naturally, he was not afraid of gambling.
And it's more fun to bet against smart people.
The whole family watched the mahjong game between the four of them. An's father, who was originally not interested in the matter, sat next to An Yue.
An Mingjin was also interested in this mahjong. Ning Qianrou went back to the room directly. An Hao sat in An's mother's arms, looking left and right with a pair of grape eyes.
There were a few hands in the front, and all the money went to An Jingzhou. Lu Jin and others continued to draw cards calmly. As they went further, the proud look on An Jingzhou's face disappeared. It was a cold day.
I was so nervous that I was sweating.
What a hell.
This group of people were playing mahjong and counting cards, which caused him to hesitate and struggle over and over when placing the cards.
Finally he gritted his teeth and placed a card.
Lu Jin smiled slightly: "Qingyise, I accept the concession."
An Jingzhou looked dishonest. In the end, not only did he not win any money, he also lost a hundred taels.
All the money was won by Lu Jin and An Yue.
An's mother happily gave An Yue twenty taels of silver.
The night is getting darker and darker, and it's almost midnight.
She was supposed to stay up late, but An Shuyao couldn't hold back her drowsiness and went to bed early.
Lu Jin returned to the house, found a purse, and put all the winnings in it, as well as the five taels of silver that he had kept privately.
A total of sixty-six taels.
I hope his Yaoyao will have a smooth, peaceful and happy rest of her life.
The first day of the first lunar month.
Recently, we should visit relatives and friends, but An Shuyao’s family did not have any relatives in Rock Village, so they started to visit the villagers.
Every household gave something as a gift.
Yuan Yi and Song Zibai from Taolin County are here. They are here to pay New Year's greetings to An's family.
Since there was nothing to give in return, An Shuyao remembered that the ham she had cured had almost taken shape after so long, so she gave each of them a piece for them to try freshly.
Aunt He poured hot tea for them, and Yuan Yi sighed after drinking it: "Fortunately, you are all right. We are looking for someone to shovel the snow outside. Otherwise, your rock village may not be able to enter now. It will almost melt in January."
Now that it’s snowing, it’s time for our cooperation to be put on the agenda.”
An Shuyao nodded: "This snowstorm has delayed me a lot of time." She smiled brightly: "After the Lantern Festival, the workshop should continue to be repaired."
Yuan Yi also laughed: "Of course I know this. If it hadn't been snowing, it would have been completed by now."
When Song Zibai saw that the two of them were cooperating, his father's request was for him to get a cooperation from An Shuyao, otherwise he would not be able to return to the Song family gate.
He felt that he should take the initiative, so he put down his cup and said with a smile: "What workshop?"
Yuan Yi was not so thoughtful and said carelessly: "In the market of gallinobacteria, this thing is rare, so it will definitely sell well."
Song Zi nodded knowingly: "Miss Yi'an's abilities are definitely more than just a species of gallinobacteria. Your Yuan family has eaten their first crab."
He changed the subject: "Miss An, I wonder if you are interested in wine? Our Song family is the largest wine producer in Anzhou. Nearly 50% of the country's wine comes from the Song family."
An Shuyao knew this. The Song family had a complex business, but the most important thing was selling wine. They had their specialty wine, Taohua Nian, which was the best-selling among all the wines.
An Shuyao touched his chin and thought for a moment: "I also dabble in wine occasionally. I have a newer method here, but everything will have to wait until spring. I will make the wine and see if it is feasible."
Song Zibai's eyes lit up: "If Miss An needs anything, just come to our Song family, and we will do our best to help you."
These words were so loud that An Shuyao was a little surprised, but the Song family was a local leader in Tianyuan City, so being able to say such things showed that they were very confident.
An Shuyao smiled and agreed.
Yuan Yi squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth. It was a pity that his family was not in the wine business, so he lost another opportunity.
Song Zibai feels that this cooperation is stable.
Just wait until An Shuyao makes the finished product before vigorously promoting it.
The days were uneventful and it was the Lantern Festival.
The snow has melted, and the whole Anzhou has begun to glow with new vitality.
The Shangyuan Festival in Anzhou is not as lively as that in Shengjing, especially in small villages. People go to the most spiritual temple nearby to pray for peace during the day.
The nearest temple around Taolin County is called Lingshan Temple, and there is a lot of incense on the Lantern Festival.
An Shuyao pestered Lu Jin to burn incense and worship Buddha. Lu Jin was not interested in gods and Buddhas, especially since he had been controlled for so long. He had no good impressions of the misty gods at all.
But he couldn't stand An Shuyao's insistence, so he compromised. He somewhat despised himself. He should be firmer next time. Things can't be solved by acting coquettishly!
Lu Jin stood outside, looking at the red cloth hanging on the trees outside the temple. Each tree asked for something different. An Shuyao took a piece of red cloth and asked Lu Jin to help her wrap it around a branch.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned to her and asked: "Do you want a wife?"
