Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 809, Chinese New Year

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was snowing in the sky. This was the thickest year ever that Jiang Yan knew it had snowed. However, this auspicious snow heralded a good year, and the troubled year was finally over, and the arrival of that great era was one step closer. , Jiang Yan was filled with immense expectations.

The New Year is here, every household is preparing new year's goods, and the streets are already very lively.

At this time, the population of the capital was already very large. There were wealthy people in some areas around Sijiu City who were selling their own agricultural and sideline products, so there were also vendors setting up stalls on the roadside, and the supplies were more abundant than before. .

Today is the day for payment customs clearance. Please pay your dues in advance. During the New Year, people will have a holiday starting from the day after tomorrow and go to work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, so that people can have a good New Year.

There are also a lot more supplies in the non-staple food book, and many people have smiles on their faces.

Tomorrow, with cash, we will hold a conference, show a movie, and then give out year-end bonuses and have a dinner. Continuing with this process, Jiang Yan was very tired. Jiang Yan swore in his heart that he would change his way of living in two years.

This year we can set off firecrackers, have annual parties, and go out to play, so these few little ones at home have been invisible every day.

Now that the policies are getting better and better, those on the farm who are close to home have gone home after receiving their wages. After all, this was the first time to go home in ten years. Many people far away from home sent telegrams or called to report that they were safe, and the last one also wrote a letter.

He Yuzhu took a vacation on the afternoon of the 10th of the twelfth lunar month. When he came back, he carried two chickens, two geese, and some vegetables. The institute's year-end bonus gave him kilograms of meat and some other things, and Jiang Yan got even more. In the past few days, his family also got back the supplies in Jiang Yan's special supply book.

"Okay!"

Since Zihan's masters all went home to celebrate the New Year, he also gave himself a holiday. He went out for a walk every afternoon and only came back at night, and he felt more lost every time.

Now there are a lot of good things under Jiang Yan's kitchen window sill, and he is fully equipped to celebrate the new year.

When they saw it, Zihan exploded and ran away quickly. They couldn't afford to offend him.

"Get out! Get out! Get out as far as you can!"

Cannons can be set off this year, and the children have also found new toys. They think that men should set off the loudest cannons. However, Wang Tianlai and He Xiao felt that the sound was a bit unsatisfactory, so they asked their brother Zihan to purify the explosives and wrapped them themselves. Play with cannons, and then take a group of little guys to fry ice cubes and fish. Every day there is a harvest.

Jiang Zihan has been in a bad mood these days and doesn't want to talk to him. Hearing a few of them speak, he directly said: "Would you like me to get you some TNT and give you some detonators? If you don't talk a lot, it won't be a problem."

"Brother Zihan, these explosives are too weak. Let's be more advanced and try to blow up a bunch of fish with one shot." Wang Tianming said.

On New Year's Eve, a very sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, eight dishes, and meat dumplings. The chef was naturally He Yuzhu. This time he used all his skills to prepare a table. The three families sat neatly and had a lively meal.

After eating, the child's favorite part is to kowtow to the new year's money. The old lady is sitting in a very festive dress. Under the leadership of Jiang Yan, she kowtows to the old lady one by one, and then the old lady starts to give out the new year's money, but Jiang Yan They don't have it, and they only give it to people of the younger generation.

The old lady was also very generous, giving each child five yuan, which made the children who got the money smile happily. Jiang Yan has always believed that his children must have money in their pockets when they are older. His children usually receive 5 yuan a month. Today, during the Chinese New Year, they will be given 10 yuan. They cannot let their children feel inferior in front of others.

Zihan's salary was given to He Yuzhu. He usually didn't spend money, and he still had 3 or 4 hundred saved in his hand. This was what was left after occasionally bringing gifts to the masters. After all, it was hard to spend money without tickets.

My daughter Yiyi is a standard moonlight tribe. After all, little girls always like to buy some small things. When she has nothing to do, Yiyi will always get some money from her brother as pocket money.

My other two daughters are still young, so they save half of their pocket money and spend half of it. The little girl’s family may not necessarily buy something if they like it. There is no shortage of snacks and candies at home. My two youngest sons only have 50 cents a month. Money, just to buy candy.

After the old lady handed out the new year's money, it was Jiang Yan's turn. Jiang Yan was also generous and gave 10 yuan to each person. But to be honest, the combined salary of Jiang Yan and his wife was less than yuan, not to mention Jiang Yan's space. There are other things. It can be said that Jiang Yan is the most short of money. Not only did he give them ten yuan of new year's money, he also gave each of them five yuan of foreign exchange coupons.

The second one was naturally He Yuzhu. A group of children first paid New Year greetings to Xu Damao and his wife, and then He Yuzhu started to take out money from his pocket to give out New Year's money.

It’s still 10 yuan per person. Don't be surprised by Zhu Zhu's financial ability. Although his salary is low, his craftsmanship is good and he is quite famous in Sijiu City. There are many people who ask him to cook. Now Zhu Zhu's apprentices charge five yuan per table when he goes out to cook. , he personally took action, and it didn't cost less than ten yuan. So the past few years have been full of success.

The last one is Shitou, which is also ten yuan of New Year's money. After Shitou became the director of a farm, due to the lack of supplies, Shitou was almost a guest of every factory. There were a lot of welcomes and gifts, so he didn't Short of money.

In the first Spring Festival after the movement, there were not many fireworks, and everyone was not that wealthy yet, and they were very restrained.

On the first day of the new year, after everyone had dinner in the morning, the children went out to play. Jiang Yan and the others were at home waiting for their apprentice's New Year greetings.

He Yuzhu's apprentices came over one after another under the leadership of Ma Hua and bought gifts, cakes, tea, etc. He came to wish He Yuzhu New Year greetings. When everyone sat down, He Yuzhu spoke.

"Today we have three dishes per person. It's a test of your efforts over the years."

Jiang Yan had more disciples, but Jiang Yan recognized only a few of them, and only three or four fell into Jiang Yan's eyes. The others left after paying New Year greetings, and only they stayed. The same goes for Shitou, but Shitou's There is only one apprentice.

Jiang Yan thought for a while and simply asked all the apprentices to stay for lunch. Naturally, He Yuzhu and their apprentices would cook lunch together to test their knowledge over the years.

"After the New Year, our institute is going to resume the exams. People like you can sign up then. Whether you are a dragon or a bug depends on you."

People who heard Jiang Yan say this were quite excited. With a higher rating, they would be able to earn more income for their families, right?
After dinner, Jiang Yan and his three brothers gave them the things they had prepared for their disciples. There were only a few snacks for each of them. It was considered Jiang Yan and the others' wishes. After Tanmen received the things, they went back to their respective homes.

After work started this year, the old guys came to Red Star Farm again. They brought news that the wind direction was about to change. At the same time, these children were asked to study harder, but some of them left one after another, and everyone who left left Jiang Yan and Shitou with their contact information for the children they liked.
