After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 308 Ready for the New Year

The person in charge of the registration is the deputy inspector of the inspection department, who will send several people to take turns to maintain order in the porridge shed every day.

This registration depends on the household registration, but also the number of people in the family, their age and current health status.

At first the deputy inspector thought it was unnecessary.

Anyway, it's all porridge, so why bother to be disgusted by others?

But after doing this, he discovered how many people want to come here every day to eat and drink, just to save some rice and noodles at home, completely ignoring those who are really about to starve to death.

The daily porridge is cooked with rice, sorghum rice, corn and sweet potatoes.

Now two porridge sheds have been built outside the county seat of Gaoyang County, one was arranged by the county government, and the other was set up by the Chen family and the Gao family selling grain together. This move was naturally highly praised by the county magistrate Li. .

The grain here in Qingshui Town is completely sourced from the Lu family, and because of this, the Lu family's reputation in the entire Qingshui Town has become even louder.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Daxiong took people up the mountain again.

The group of them stayed on the mountain for two and a half days, and when they finally went down the mountain, they also gained a lot.

There were several pheasants and hares, and two silly roe deer, two wild boars, and two foxes were also hunted.

The people Lu Daxiong took were all from his own family, so these prey naturally belonged to their family.

Thinking that this year might not be so easy, after discussing with his wife, Lu Daxiong brought half a wild boar to the village head's house, and then the village head's house hosted a pig-killing feast.

For the remaining half, Lu Daxiong asked Chen Jiu to send it to Jingyuan. There were more than 100 people, and it was almost enough for two meals.

"I'll send both the rabbit skin and the fox skin to the butcher, and ask him to help with the tanning. When you turn back, you can give it away if you want."

The foxes hunted this time were average. In the previous summer, Lu Daxiong hunted two red foxes, and the coat color was quite good.

In addition to the previous inventory, I asked someone to make a fox fur cloak for Chen Xingyan, which was beautiful and warm.

Now whenever Chen Xingyan goes out, he will definitely wear this one.

Chen Xingyan also saw the two foxes, and their fur was okay.

"After the fox skin is tanned this time, I'll add some more materials to make a big cloak for our mother. During the New Year's festival, people come and go, and my mother will go out a lot."

Lu Daxiong grinned: "Okay, listen to you."

After the arrangement here was almost done, Lu Daxiong directly asked someone to get a small wooden basket and put it on the horse's back, turned over by himself, and took the reins away.

"I'll go to Shangliuzhuang and come back for dinner."

"Be careful on the road, don't come back too late."

Lu Daxiong sent two rabbits and two pheasants to Lu Hehua's family. When he went there, Liu Dazhuang happened to be gathering firewood in the yard.

"Brother is here, come in and sit down."

Lu Daxiong got off his horse and gave him the things.

Liu Dazhuang's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Brother just hunted this? Lotus is talking about wanting to eat rabbits."

"Where's my nephew?"

"It's inside, hurry up, sit inside."

Lu Hehua was training her son in the house, when she heard the movement, she couldn't sit still.

Before she went out, Lu Daxiong and Liu Dazhuang came in one after the other.

"Yeah!"

The child is too young to call people yet, but he likes to smile when he sees the small faces of familiar people, and he can also make noises.

"Hey, grow taller and fatter."

Lu Hehua smiled and said: "Isn't that right, I know how to eat every day, so I can't get fat!"

Lu Daxiong hugged his nephew and did not let go, and deliberately stabbed him with his beard, but the little nephew was not happy for a while.

After teasing for a while, Lu Daxiong asked: "Is there anything you want me to tell my parents?"

Lu Hehua smiled and said: "Then you go back and tell them that Da Zhuang and I will give them New Year's presents on July 26. By the way, you just happened to be here, so bring these things to my sister-in-law to taste."

While tidying up, Lu Hehua explained: "It's not a good thing, but I think my sister-in-law is from the south, so she may not have eaten it. You can take it back and give her a taste."

Lu Daxiong didn't refuse, it wasn't a particularly valuable thing anyway, besides, now my sister's house is not short of such a small amount of money.

A few days later, Lu Daxiong went up the mountain again, this time hunting pheasants and hares, and then went to the county town with Chen Xingyan.

Chen Ke heard that his daughter and son-in-law had come, so he left the courtyard early.

"This is what my son-in-law got in the mountains, and I specially sent it to my father-in-law to try something new."

Chen Ke's gaze passed him, and he saw those things behind, there were really a lot of them!

"You guys have a heart. It's cold, so go inside and talk."

Chen Ke loved this daughter since he was born, and even Chen Xinglou couldn't compare to this daughter, so he quickly called the two into the study.

Chen Xingyan was actually not cold, besides the cloak, he also had a small heater in his hand.

"Father, these are a pair of knee pads I made for you. They are made of rabbit fur. When you first arrived in Gaoyang County, my daughter worried that you would not be able to adapt to the northern climate. You should make more preparations."

Chen Ke's heart was very ironed.

Still good daughter!
"Well, you have a heart."

"This is an earmuff, and it's also made of rabbit fur. You can wear it when you go out and don't take a carriage."

"Okay, I've made you worry."

Chen Xingyan smiled. She knew that the relationship between her father and Mrs. Liu was just a superficial couple.

In the end, he didn't divorce her, didn't make up with her, and still cared about his elder brothers.

And there are no new concubines around my father for the time being. Now this time, only the two old people from the past accompanied me to the north. I heard that the relationship between my father and them is not very good.

Chen Xingyan knew his father's infatuation with Lou's, since he took over this body, he naturally had to do his best to be a daughter.

After all, this father has never been sorry to her from the beginning to the end.

"Does father know about Jing Yuan?"

Chen Ke nodded. He already knew Jing Yuan's name.

And last time, my daughter specially hosted a banquet for many female family members in Jingyuan, which made it easier for their family to integrate into the upper circle of Gaoyang County.

"You did a good job last time. You don't have to embarrass yourself so much. I know you don't like them. If you don't communicate with them in the future, others won't say anything."

Chen Xingyan smiled and remained silent.

She did not like many members of the Chen family, but she did not intend to help them all.

Besides, occasionally helping me by the way can not only make my reputation better, but also make the Chen family think of my own good, why not do it?
After all, the Chen family is her natal family, and there is still her elder brother. Since the Chen family cannot be destroyed, then the Chen family can only be sided by her elder brother and her as much as possible.

At least, this is the worst news for Liu's mother and daughter!

Just thinking about the mother and daughter being unhappy makes her happy!
