With a smile in his eyes, Yan Huaiwen picked out a few pieces of broken silver from the bundle Li Xuemei brought and handed them to Yan Yu.
"Xiao Er manages the charcoal field for his family and has seen its benefits. Although the income from firewood is meager, it has added livelihood to the villagers in winter, which is very good.
This is a reward from uncle, buy what you like."
Yan Yu: Wow!
I received another pocket money from my uncle!
I was so happy that I couldn't help but turn up the corners of my mouth.
"Thank you, uncle!" This voice was delicate and sweet.
Yan Yu suddenly remembered something and said slowly: "Uncle, the money earned from firewood was not recorded at home..."
Yan Huaiwen's eyes flashed slightly, and the next moment he smiled and said: "I told you before, you can make the decision yourself, whether you spend money, buy or sell, it's all up to you, whether it's firewood, tofu, or anything else, you can do whatever you want.
Uncle knows that you love economics. Xiaoer, those who love money have a right way to get it. As long as they do it properly, just talk about yellow and white things calmly."
His hand fell on the account book, flipping through it at will.
"There is no labor charge for selling charcoal to Fucheng and going in and out of the city gate. Did the waiter supplement the profit from the firewood?" Yan Huaiwen shook his head gently: "This is not advisable. The public is the public, and your business is
It's a private house of your daughter's family. You should have records of this part and then enter it into the account..."
Yan Yu held a few broken pieces of silver and jumped for joy.
"Uncle, there's not much..." She stopped, feeling that it was inappropriate to say this, and changed her words: "This one is very trivial. Uncle, can I remember one more thing in the future?"
Yan Huaiwen disagreed.
"No, there are members of the Qi family involved in this charcoal business. Since they have great trust, the money is entrusted to them. The accounts must be clarified without any ambiguity."
Yan Yu said obediently: "I know, uncle, I'll do it again when I get back." She said in a brisk tone: "It's not the time to share the dividends with the Qi family, so I have plenty of time."
Yan Huaiwen hummed and asked her, "Did you bring your homework?"
Yan Yu was stunned.
"Uncle... we just got home yesterday morning and walked all night... we fell asleep when we got home... we left home before dawn today. I... I... didn't have time..."
Yan Huaiwen suppressed a smile and asked several questions in succession.
She was asked to remain silent for two more articles on the spot.
Yan Yu wrote so hard that the tip of her nose started to sweat...
She knew she had made several mistakes.
Woohoo, the article is getting knotted in my head!!
Yan Huaiwen said calmly: "It was not an unexpected incident for Beirong and his party. They knew to prepare their luggage in advance. Why didn't they finish their homework in advance? I will punish you today. Are you convinced?"
"I'm convinced." Yan Yu lowered her head and whispered.
…
Li Xuemei is trying on the new clothes she brought to Yan Xiangheng.
The close-fitting lining is made by Daya, and the outer cotton robe is made by Grandma Rong. A circle of rabbit fur is added to the collar, which can be removed or fastened with a plate buckle to form a small stand-up collar, which is windproof and stylish.
.
Yan Xiangheng turned back and forth in circles at his aunt's signal, too shy to raise his head, his face red all the way to his ears.
Li Xuemei smiled and said: "Before I came here, I was worried that my sleeves would be too long, but now it looks just right. Heng'er is getting taller."
Seeing Yan Yu coming back with a bundle, Li Xuemei looked at it several times before she felt reassured that it was not the one she had packed the money with.
"Boy, please move a stool and measure your elder brother."
Li Xuemei handed her the rope ruler she brought from home.
"Eh!"
Yan Yu put down the things in his hands and asked his elder brother to stand still.
Under the instruction of my mother, I measured my shoulders, arms, and head...even my feet.
Yan Yu wanted her eldest brother to take off his shoes and socks and stand on the paper to make a mark.
Yan Xiangheng refused to take off his shoes, so he had no choice but to wear shoes and trace the edges with charcoal.
After taking the measurements, Yan Xiangheng quickly made an excuse and ran away.
Yan Yu wrote down the measurements one by one and muttered: "Both the eldest sister and the eldest brother are much longer than me."
Li Xuemei smiled and took back the ruler.
"Da Ya and Heng'er are exactly the same age, and you have grown up too. The clothes you used to wear are all too small."
"What did you get back?" Li Xuemei asked casually.
This question made Yan Yu immediately look sad.
"The homework assigned by the uncle..." Yan Yu learned the uncle's words from Li Xuemei, "Mom, you said there is no uncle like this. It makes people feel sad and happy. A moment ago, I was happy. I took the test without any warning.
, I was confused. I already had a lot of homework, and if I didn’t answer well, I would be punished..."
Li Xuemei felt that her eldest brother was probably the same as her. He didn't want his younger brother to go to Beirong, so he increased his homework. Just like she was looking for things for her daughter, he wanted her to be busy and not care about anything else.
Of course we need strong support.
"How supportive is your uncle? He has repeatedly said that the business you have worked hard on is yours and does not mix with the family. He allows you to act outside as the second boy of the Yan family, and even gives you a seal... You are standing in front of the second boy.
With your reputation, you must give your uncle a long face and study hard."
The more Li Xuemei talked, the more she felt that she had gone too far in protecting the cubs before. She was afraid that her elder brother would see her if she made a few noises this time.
"What does the seal look like?" Li Xuemei asked curiously.
Yan Yu took it out from the palm of his hand and found a few pieces of broken silver along with it.
One moment he was sad, but now he was smiling.
The face changes faster than the sky changes.
"Mom, look, uncle, he carved it for me himself, and I will seal it on the day when the deed is signed, haha! There are also these pieces of silver, there are more than two taels, uncle is very generous, dad counts the copper coins for me every time
I’ve been digging around for a long time, but this time I was given a reward. Will dad be gone?
Oops, I forgot to ask my uncle, what is dad’s birthday gift? Is it also a seal? Hehe, it would be great if it is, dad and I can print it together, it would be so fun!”
Li Xuemei felt that her daughter had spoken too early and she would not find out until her father came back.
Their eldest brother loves to give pocket money.
…
Yan Huaiwen found the notebook and looked at it for a while without rushing to write.
What I wrote before is slightly faded.
This is due to poor use of ink.
The ink sticks used in government offices are naturally better than those commonly used at home.
Add water, grind, and turn your wrist evenly.
Find the brush made by Tianyou, dip your fingers in water and gently twist it to make the brush edges gather together.
After trying two strokes, I felt satisfied, so I folded my sleeves and lowered my pen, carefully writing down the year, month and day.
Then he wrote down the amount of money according to the waiter's account book.
Then he stopped writing for a long time.
Just wrote:
My brother Tianyou came up with the idea of making charcoal, and my nephew Ruyu Tianhan got it by selling charcoal.
Yan Huaiwen had some unfinished ideas, but in the end he did not write more.
…
"What a thief! What a thief!"
Mr. Tian was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
"I even brought two sons out... A dignified county magistrate, who doesn't care about official duties and doesn't follow the right path..."
You actually used such means to steal people from him!
The old man puffed out his cheeks and walked around the room.
"Don't be ashamed!"
He stepped forward and grabbed Yan Laoer's hand: "God bless me, we don't care about bastards, they are not worthy of us!"
Yan Laoer nodded vigorously.
"It's true, it's too utilitarian. If we propose marriage now, we have to seriously consider it. But look at the intention and the eldest brother doesn't dare to make a decision now. What's the point of leaking? His intentions are not pure. What's wrong?
Thinking of occupying it first? Thinking of good things!
Teacher, have you ever seen the eldest daughter in our family? She is the best girl, good-looking, good-natured, filial, hard-working and kind-hearted. In short, she is good in everything. The eldest brother is really lucky. Anyone who comes to my house to propose marriage has to schedule a date.
