Chapter 122 A Little Impatient

It won't be long before the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, the house must be clean and tidy. It's a new year and 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, dried bamboo shoots, chestnuts, and big persimmons from the persimmon trees at the back of the house.

The persimmons in their house are very sweet, and they can be eaten after a few days after picking them off. They are crispy, sweet and juicy.

Zhao Liya and Hu led them to the sugar mill, they were not at home, relatives and friends from various families visited frequently before and after the Chinese New Year, and gift giving was normal.Deng smiled politely and thanked him for accepting it, so naturally he returned the courtesy.

Aunt Li Shiyi originally planned to go back in two or three days, but when her daughter and son-in-law came to pick her up, she went back happily.

The bacon and sausages were not ready yet, but there was always fresh meat at home, so Mrs. Deng gave some to Aunt Li Shiyi, and also gave her two bolts of thick muslin cloth wrapped in three or four catties of yellow sliced ​​sugar.

The wages were given to her on a monthly basis, and she was simply paid for the twelfth lunar month.

He gave her a hundred dollars, which was regarded as a red envelope for the Chinese New Year.

Aunt Li Shiyi was happy and grateful, and thanked her repeatedly.

Li Xiaoying and his wife carried the things for her and went back to Zaihu Village together.

Li Xiaoying said with a smile: "The Zhao family is really kind. Their sugar mill works non-stop every day, so many people come in and out, and merchants come to buy from time to time. I don't know how much money they have made!"

Aunt Li Shiyi said: "How much money is made, it is what the Zhao family deserves. I am afraid that no one will believe how capable the eldest girl of the Zhao family is! You should stop asking about these things and be yourself." You don’t have to envy Zaihu Village, you Bajiao Village will grow potatoes well in the coming year, and keeping them is also a source of income.”

Pan Erzhu hurriedly laughed and said: "We understand what you always said, don't worry, we won't do anything stupid! Just hehe, don't tell me, everyone is watching the sugar mill making so much money, watching the slaughter Everyone in Hu Village is beaming, but they are all a little anxious with envy. Can that gray potato lump really make money?"

Li Xiaoying also hurriedly said: "Yes, mother, everyone is really impatient and worried. After all, the potatoes are delicious, but they are just a thing for cooking. No matter how delicious they are, they can't compare to sugar. How about planting sugar cane in our village?"

Glancing at the nervous and eager couple, Aunt Li Shiyi was a little dumbfounded, she cast a glance at them and scolded with a smile: "Why do you think so much? Don't ask me about these things, I don't understand either. I only know that Miss Zhao said If you can make money, then you can, why is she lying to us? Besides, if you don’t make money, the big boss buys so much land? And even builds workshops? You just plant it well and wait for it!”

Li Xiaoying and Pan Erzhu thought about it, 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 that Zaihu Village was happily making money.

There's no rush, 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 laughed and said: "We came here after we went home first. They are playing at the aunt's house. You can see each other when you go back. The child is too noisy, so I dare not take her to Zhao's house. Don't be afraid to take her to Zhao's house just in case." It's troublesome to go."

The siblings of the Zhao family are good-looking, clean and likable, the siblings have not forgotten it after going back for so long, and they really want to go to their house to play.

The most important thing is that Zhao's family has a lot of delicious food, and Deng's family is generous, so the two children don't think about it.

Aunt Li Shiyi couldn't help being happy when she thought that she would see her two grandchildren soon, and said with a smile: "Two days ago, the sisters of the Deng family said that Li Xiang and A Lin also like to play. After the new year, I'll take them to live in Zhao's house for a few days. Our Liang'er and Xiaoduo are also sensible, so don't interfere."

Naturally, Li Xiaoying and Pan Erzhu couldn't wait more, so they quickly agreed with a smile.

Li Xiaoying said again: "Don't worry, I will teach them well and not let them mess around."

Because Aunt Li was close to the Zhao family, she even brought the Pan family a little more confidence in Bajiao Village.If it was before, where would it be their turn to have any good things?It's different now. When they start working for the big boss next year, 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 said with a smile that Li Xiaoying and the others brought presents, but she almost had nothing to return, "Fortunately, there is candy!"

After hearing this, Zhao Liya laughed and said: "Mother said that we should prepare some sweets, snacks, drinks and so on at home. When someone comes, we can both entertain and return the courtesy."

Mrs. Deng nodded: "That's right, that's how it should be. We don't know much about the customs here, why don't you ask Aunt Qu."

"it is good."

Widow Qu listened, and gave an idea enthusiastically.

Zhao Liya acted resolutely, and went to the city with Hu Ling and Qu Yutao the next day to buy a lot of candy, three catties of wine in a small jar, eggs, and some good quality cotton towels, etc., and bought seven or eight chickens. Raised in a cage.

In this way, if someone gives a gift, they will not be in a hurry.

They were in the village, and all the villagers came and went, such gifts were enough.Anyway, there will be no other people coming and going.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Mo's new house was built with beams and tiles.

His family's house and Zhao's house share a courtyard wall in the middle, and a door can be opened on the wall to visit.

His new house also has a main room and east and west wing rooms, but there are not so many rooms.

Some doors, windows, furniture, etc. are ready, some are being made, and some have ordered ready-made goods, and they 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 much attention to these things, and Luo Shuyan is even more so after being used to suffering before. For her, as long as she has a place of her own to shelter from the wind and rain, she can live in peace and security. It is enough to live without being beaten or scolded.

However, Zhao Liya kept pushing for a sense of ritual. This is a major event in life, getting married, the wedding room, every piece of furniture, every piece of decoration, every piece of utensil, and every flower, plant and tree in the yard. Can it be arranged with care?
It's just this once in a lifetime, if you think about it carefully and arrange it carefully, isn't it also a good memory for yourself?

And this is their home, no amount of thought is too much!
Luo Shuyan was moved a little by Zhao Liya, so Zhao Liya and Qu Yutao accompanied her into the city several times, Lin Mo sometimes went and sometimes didn't, and picked out various things together.
