The Chinese New Year will be here soon. During the Chinese New Year, everything in the house should be clean and tidy, so that the New Year brings a new atmosphere.
The two came to pick them up and brought a lot of things to Zhao Liya and the others, including two ducks raised at home, as well as dried bamboo shoots, chestnuts, and large persimmons from the persimmon trees behind the house.
Their persimmons are very sweet. You can eat them after picking them for a few days. They are crispy, sweet, and very juicy.
Zhao Liya and Hu took them to the sugar pressing workshop. They were not at home. There were frequent exchanges of relatives and friends around the New Year, and it was normal to give gifts. Deng smiled politely and thanked them, accepting them, and naturally returned the gift.
Aunt Li Shiyi originally planned to go back in the next two or three days, but her daughter and son-in-law came to pick her up, so she went back happily.
The bacon and sausages were not ready yet, but fresh meat was always available at home, so Deng gave some to Aunt Li Shiyi, as well as two pieces of thick muslin cloth wrapped with three or four kilograms of yellow candies.
The salary was given to her on a monthly basis, so she was given the salary for the twelfth lunar month first.
I gave her an extra 100 yuan as a New Year's red envelope.
Aunt Li Shiyi was happy and grateful, and thanked her repeatedly.
Li Xiaoying and her husband carried her things for her and went back to Zaihu Village together.
Li Xiaoying said with a smile: "The Zhao family is really kind. Their sugar pressing workshop works non-stop every day. There are so many people coming in and out, and merchants come to buy from time to time. I don't know how much wealth they have made!"
Aunt Li Shiyi said: "How much wealth you have made, it's all what the Zhao family deserves. If you tell me how capable the eldest daughter of the Zhao family is, others won't believe it! You should stop asking about this and be yourselves."
That’s all. Don’t envy Zaihu Village, your Bajiao Village will grow potatoes well in the coming year, and keeping them will also be a way to make money.”
Pan Erzhu hurriedly smiled and said: "We all understand what you always said. Don't worry, we won't do stupid things! Just hey, don't mention it. Everyone sees how much money the sugar pressing workshop makes, and how much money the slaughterhouse makes."
Everyone in Hu Village is beaming with joy, but aren’t they all a little anxious with envy? Can that gray potato pimple really make money and get rich?"
Li Xiaoying also said hurriedly: "Yes, mother, everyone is really anxious and worried. After all, those potatoes are delicious, but they are just a cooking thing. No matter how delicious they are, they can't be compared to sugar."
!Why don’t we also grow sugar cane in our village?”
Glancing at the nervous and eager couple, Aunt Li Eleven felt dumbfounded. She scolded them with a look and said, "Why do you think so much? Don't ask me about these things, I don't understand either. All I know is that Miss Zhao said
If you can make money, you can definitely do it. Why did she lie to us? Besides, if you don’t make money, the big boss will buy so much land and build workshops? You just need to plant it well and take good care of it!"
Li Xiaoying and Pan Erzhu thought so and laughed: "We are confused. It really makes sense."
Aunt Li Shiyi snorted, not because she was confused, but because she was envious when she saw Zaihu Village happily making money.
There's no rush in this, they won't be able to make money next year.
She didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she asked about her grandson and granddaughter.
Li Xiaoying hurriedly smiled and said: "We went back home first before coming here. They are playing at aunt's house. You can see them when you get back. The child is too noisy. I dare not take her to Zhao's house. I don't want to take her to Zhao's house just in case."
It’s troublesome to leave.”
The two siblings from the Zhao family are good-looking, clean and lovable. They have not forgotten about it even after returning home for so long, and they really want to go to their house to play.
The most important thing is that the Zhao family has a lot of delicious food, and the Deng family is generous, so the two children are not worried about it.
Aunt Li Shiyi couldn't help but be happy when she thought that she would see her two grandsons soon. She smiled and said: "Two days ago, the Deng family sister said that Li Xiang and A Lin also like to play. Wait.
After the New Year, I will take them to Zhao's house to stay for a few days. Our Liang'er and Xiaoduo are also sensible and will not interfere."
Li Xiaoying and Pan Erzhu were naturally eager to do so, and quickly said yes with a smile.
Li Xiaoying added: "Don't worry, I will teach them well and won't let them act nonsense."
Because Aunt Li Shiyi is close to the Zhao family, the Pan family and the Pan family have a little more confidence in Bajiao Village. If it were before, how would their family get the chance to do any good things? But it is different now. Wait until next year to do it for the big boss.
When it comes to work, the Pan family can be a small steward. Pan Erzhu is smarter and more capable than his father and brother, so he is basically the one chosen.
Zhao Liya and Hu led them back home that day, only to find that Aunt Li Shiyi had gone back.
Deng smiled and said that Li Xiaoying and the others had sent gifts, but she almost had nothing to give in return, "Fortunately, there is candy!"
After hearing this, Zhao Liya hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother said we should prepare some candies, snacks, drinks and the like at home, so that when someone comes, we can both entertain and return the favor."
Mrs. Deng nodded: "Yes, that's right. We don't know much about the customs here. Why don't we ask Aunt Qu."
"good."
After hearing this, Widow Qu came up with an idea enthusiastically.
Zhao Liya acted resolutely, and the next day she went to the city with Hu Ling and Qu Yutao and bought a lot of candies, three kilograms of wine in a small jar, eggs and some good quality cotton towels, etc., and also bought seven or eight chickens.
Raised in a cage.
In this way, when someone gives you a gift, you won’t be in a hurry.
They were in the village, and only the villagers came and went, so a gift like this was enough. No one else would come and go anyway.
On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Mo's new house was completed.
His house and Zhao's house share a courtyard wall in the middle, and there is a door on the wall for people to visit each other.
His new house also has a main room and east and west wings, but the number of rooms is not that many.
Some doors, windows, furniture, etc. are ready, some are in the process of making them, and some have pre-ordered ready-made goods, which will be delivered directly from the furniture store when the time comes.
This is Lin Mo's wedding room, but Lin Mo doesn't pay attention to these things, and Luo Shuyan is not particular about it because she has been used to hardships in the past. For her, as long as she has a place of her own that is sheltered from the wind and rain, she can live in peace and stability.
Living a life without being beaten or scolded is already very satisfying.
However, Zhao Liya kept promoting the sense of ceremony. This is a major event in life, getting married, a wedding room, every piece of furniture, every large and small decoration, every utensil, and every flower, grass and tree in the yard. How can
Why not arrange it carefully?
Just this once in a lifetime, if you think about it carefully and arrange it carefully, wouldn’t it also leave you with a beautiful memory?
And this is their home, so no amount of thought is too much!
Luo Shuyan was a little moved by Zhao Liya, so Zhao Liya and Qu Yutao accompanied her to the city several times. Lin Mo sometimes went and sometimes didn't go, choosing various things together.
