Reborn Big Brother: Farming Daily Life

Chapter 84

The sound of firecrackers for the family reunion dinner began to crackle.

Only then did Shen Qingning bring Shen Zheng back to the old house.

Qingxiu was standing in the yard talking to her sisters, "If you don't come back, I'll go find you."

"Isn't this back? Is it time for dinner?"

"Well, soon."

As soon as he said this, Jiang went out of the kitchen and shouted, "Call the children back, it's time for dinner!"

Anyone's New Year's Eve meal is the most sumptuous meal in a year.

Jiang Shi also showed his housekeeping skills today and cooked some good dishes.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun probably did not say anything unappealing to squeeze Mrs. Li because of the Chinese New Year, and they actually enjoyed the meal happily.

The Jiang family also prepared new year's money, no matter whether it is a grandson or a granddaughter, everyone has a share, regardless of preference, it is ten cents.

Xiaosun was unhappy in her heart, but she could hold back her displeasure, because she only had one child, Dongbao.

When everyone returned to their own homes, Shen Dahe, the head of the family, also took out five red paper packets to distribute lucky money to the children. Of course, the money inside was prepared by Mrs. Li.

Shen Qingning opened it to look, and found that everyone had a few coins, hundreds of coins, Mrs. Li is really generous now, even willing to give away the silver.

The family began to watch the new year around the brazier, and Li lit several lamps in the main room. In her words, the brighter the new year, the better.

Steaming sweet soup and various snacks were placed on the table, Li Shi and Qingxiu were doing needlework by the lamp, Shen Qingning coaxed Shen Zheng to peel melon seeds for her while drinking sweet soup, Shen Dahe lay in the rocking chair and hugged her Xiao Miao'er, who was already a little confused, and the whole family were listening to Shen Guan's reading.

This is a script similar to a legendary story that Shen Guan specially borrowed. The story is fascinating, and it is late at night before you know it, until the sound of crackling firecrackers is heard outside.

A new year begins!

This year Shen Qingning was 11 years old, Shen Guan was [-] years old, Shen Qingxiu was [-] years old, Shen Zheng was [-] years old, and the youngest Shen Qingmiao was [-] years old.

The Shen family has already begun to break away from the ranks of poverty.

In the first few days of the new year, Shen Dahe took his two sons to relatives' homes to pay New Year's greetings, and Mrs. Li took her daughter to entertain several tables of guests at home.After working so hard for a few days, it was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye.

The sixth day is the day when the workshop starts, Shen Dahe picked a good time for Huang Li, set off firecrackers and opened the door!
The bean curd sticks that I rushed to work last year were sold out early, and the shopkeepers all said that they must prepare more goods for next year.

This thing is cheap and delicious, and it's a new item. Many people bought it as a New Year's gift, which is quite cost-effective.

They have tried the drying room in the workshop, and it is really good. It can be dried without smelling smoke, which fully meets their requirements for making bean curd sticks.

The kitchen is also very different from the previous kitchen. Generally, there are two large pots on one stove. In this workshop, there are two rows of stoves, one row of two pots, which are used to make rice noodles.

The other row is a six-hole pot, which is used to make bean curd sticks!

This is the result calculated by Shen Qingning and Li's many times. On weekdays, there are two pots of bean curd skin on the old stove, and it takes a long time for a person to stand alone to make a skin.

However, the six large pots are lined up horizontally, and it takes time to condense a piece of bean curd skin in each pot, and one person can easily complete the six pots at the same time.

It’s just that it’s not enough to just have a pot. One person on the stove is fine, but other tasks still need to be done by someone.

Mrs. Li took Shen Qingning to set up a stall all morning, and could only go to the workshop to help in the afternoon, and she got up early to set up a stall, and if she came back, she would have to work for a long time. After a long time, let alone Shen Qingning, even Li, who was used to work, Shi can't bear it either.

This year, the family does not rent any land, and there are still seven mu of land to plant, Shen Dahe will also spend a lot of time to do it.

After Qingxiu was busy with the vegetable field work at home, she provided three meals for the whole family, and she didn't have much time to go to work in the workshop.

In the end, we discussed and discussed, and came to the conclusion that we should hire people in the workshop!
Then the family disagreed over who to work for.

Shen Dahe said to call Fengzhen, but Li told him to shut up, "Hui'er is a half-grown child, and we are reluctant to let her do some heavy work. But she is different from others, and we have had it before." My brother-in-law has taken care of me a lot, so Huier came to me willingly.

But if there is another Fengzhen, where can I find some light work for her to do?Why can't your niece come and let her do heavy work like dry cleaning?
I think it's better to let my sister-in-law come, she has a lot of strength, she has also done the work like washing pulp, otherwise it depends on Mei Xiang alone, you plan to exhaust your sister to death? "

When it was said that Shen Qingning's eldest aunt was to work, no matter whether it was Shen Dahe, Shen Guan or Qingning Qingxiu, they all had a bitter face.

Ai Ai said in Qingxiu, "Mother, if the eldest aunt comes, who of you has the nerve to order her to work? The eldest aunt is not as easy to talk to as the aunt."

Mrs. Li glared at her eldest daughter, "Your uncle loves you for nothing."

Qingxiu immediately shut up.

Li Shi also knew in her heart that her younger brother and sister were a little bluff and a little bit like taking advantage of things.But the two brothers of her natal family were also kind to her sister, and she also thought that she would have this opportunity to take care of her natal family.

Shen Qingning pushed Shen Guan, meaning to let him speak.

Shen Guan thought for a while and said, "I think it's better to hire someone who is not related to each other. We pay for people to work. If we find a relative, it's hard to say what's wrong in the future.

But for those who are not close relatives, if they really can't do well, we can talk easily.Outside, asking aunts to work for a day is mostly 15-20 Wen.

We gave our aunt 25 coins because she is my real aunt, but we can only give [-] coins to other people at most, otherwise if it spreads, someone will say that our family is crazy. "

"Eighteen characters?"

Shen Guan nodded, "Mother, think about it, the most tiring work in the workshop is in the morning, that is washing pulp, you need to put in more effort, other tasks can be done by someone as big as Qingning. If you are tall, someone will come to you again." Want to drill through your head?
Auntie, don't you forget what happened before?If you think there are fewer eighteen essays, you can wait until the New Year's Eve to give more. "

Shen Dahe nodded straight after listening, "What Guan'er said makes sense, because I heard Mei Xiang's 25 liters a day before, gossip about our family has been circulating in the village for a long time.

Now there are donkeys in the mill, and I can do the washing of pulp, but the hired people can’t do much. I will give the eighteen coins first, and put the two coins first. It will not be obvious when I give them during the Chinese New Year. . "

Mrs. Li also made the same reason when she thought about it, "Then who are you looking for? If you spread the word and look for someone, there will be too many people coming. It's not good to let anyone come, and it's easy to offend people."

Shen Qingning took the words, "Mom, I have a suitable candidate!"
