The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 530 New Year's Eve

After yesterday’s village reunion dinner, today, New Year’s Eve, is the time for each family to have their own reunion dinner.

Since Old Man Li and Old Mrs. Yuan both lived in the second house, just like in previous years, the other three houses all came to the second house to celebrate the New Year together.

Early in the morning, at the old house, Jiang, Li Rongsong and others came over with Li Chunfang and her daughter who lived nearby. Huang, Jiang and others who lived nearby came even earlier. The main hall was filled with so many people that it seemed crowded.

Shi Liu simply divided all the pomegranates and asked Er Ni, San Ni to take Shou Ge'er, Xiang Ge'er, Bao Zhu and others to play in the open pavilion. There was a soft carpet inside, so they could crawl around wherever they wanted without falling. The younger ones were not afraid because Mama Liu and Mama Yang were watching over them.

Let Li Rongzhang, Li Rongtan and the other guys go to the pavilion on the second floor by themselves to play chess or Luban locks. They are grown up and don't need anyone to watch them. Just prepare enough braziers for them to keep them from getting cold.

In the main hall, only Old Man Li, Li Ji, Li Rongsong and others were left to talk, while Old Mrs. Yuan and her daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, daughters and granddaughters were sitting by the fire behind a screen.

Li Rongwu from the city also rushed back yesterday. As for his wife Zhao, she came back even earlier, rushing back before giving birth. She gave birth to a boy safely on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month and is still in confinement. Before Huang went out, she cooked a big bowl of chicken wonton soup for her. When the soup is ready, she will serve it back to her.
We seldom see each other a few times a year, and it's so hard for us to sit together like this, with lots to talk about, so we won't rush to cook this year. Anyway, we have a big kitchen now and enough people to cook, so they don't need to work too hard.

The only regret was that Li Rongzong, who was far away in the state capital, was unable to make it back.

The express station has been open for less than half a year, but it has already made a name for itself in Bingzhou. Even during the Chinese New Year, it received a lot of delivery orders. As the head manager of the Bingzhou main station, Li Rongzong had a lot of things to do inside and outside the station, so he really couldn't come back. He asked someone to send back the New Year gifts he had prepared for everyone in his family a few days ago.

Old Yuan and others were chatting about nothing, and inevitably brought up the fact that Li Rongzong was away.

Mrs. Lin was also silent. She missed her husband very much. Her husband was not at home when she gave birth to Kang'er. Fortunately, it was not the first child. The old lady and mother-in-law were there to comfort her. There were people to take care of her during the confinement period and to take care of the child. She did not have to worry at all. Although she felt sorry, she did not feel wronged. She knew that her husband was also busy with business. For them and for this family, as a wife, she naturally had to be considerate.

Another thing is that Shi Liu also said that after the New Year, she would take them to the provincial capital, and then she would be able to reunite with her husband.

Thinking of this, Lin felt relieved and started talking to everyone happily.

"Third Aunt, has Tong'er's marriage been decided?" This was Jiang asking Huang.

When asked this question, everyone looked at Huang.

Huang smiled and said, "Yes, Mrs. Rongsong is a girl from your natal village. Her mother works in the sheep workshop. After a few visits, they got together. My aunt also mentioned one. We have also met that girl. She is a bit softer. You know, Tongge'er is originally dull, unlike Rongwu who is lively. If he marries a wife, she will also be very soft. How can these two people talk about it?"
So after much thought, I decided to choose this girl. This girl has a straightforward personality. I heard that she can take care of the household inside and outside at a young age. She is a good housekeeper.

We will have to divide the family property in the future. When Tongger is separated, with a daughter-in-law who can manage the family, we will have a comfortable life and save ourselves from worrying, right?"

"That's right." As soon as Huang finished speaking, Song followed up, "Then which day have you chosen to place the engagement?"

Huang said, "Looking at the auspicious date of February 6th, let's set the marriage first, and then look for a good date. I think September or October is also a good time. Of course, it depends on the Shi family's opinion. But the Shi family is also very satisfied with this marriage. I think by this time next year, I will be able to hold my grandson again!" It's only two years later, Huang already has a grandson. Jiang is full of envy, and not willing to be left behind, so she took over the conversation and said, "Chun'er's marriage is also going to be set!"

Old Yuan looked at her and asked, "When did this happen? Why haven't we heard any news?"

She had heard about Tongger's matter from Huang, so she knew it clearly, but when had Jiang, the big loudspeaker, been able to keep things secret?

Jiang smiled, "It was his grandmother who arranged the marriage for the girl. She's from my mother's village, and we know each other well. We didn't tell each other before, but we were still looking at each other. Just a few days ago, we decided to get engaged. After the Chinese New Year, we'll go to the door to get engaged on an auspicious day. But Chun'er will only be seventeen after the Chinese New Year, and the girl will only be sixteen, so the date of the wedding should be postponed to the next year. I thought it would be good to get married at the beginning of the year, in the spring. Maybe if we're lucky, we can have a baby at the same time as Tong'er!"

Everyone congratulated them and said that since the couple got married right after this, the Li family would have another child the year after next, which meant that their family would be becoming more and more prosperous!

Old Man Li and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard this. Li Rongyu even teased the two parties involved -

Shi Liu then took over the conversation, "It is said that one should start a family and establish a career. If this family is to be established, the career must also be established. I should find some work for cousins ​​Tong and Chun."

Li Rongtong and Li Rongchun are now both doing carpentry work in the carpentry workshop, so they are not idle.

But Jiang's brain was quick, and she immediately looked at Shi Liu, her eyes sparkling, "Thank you Shi Liu for taking care of them. They are all my brothers, Shi Liu, don't worry, they will definitely not let you down."

Huang also reacted and agreed with Jiang. In the past two years, the two sisters-in-law, who had always been bickering with each other, rarely quarreled with each other anymore.

Shi Liu naturally knew very well what kind of people his brothers were.

Hearing this, he said, "How can I not trust my brothers? Even if I don't use others, I can't use my own family, right?
I thought that my cousin Tong was a quiet person, good at carpentry, and wouldn't like to go out and mess around. So starting from the new year when work starts, I'll let him stay with my dad and slowly learn how to manage the carpentry workshop.

As for cousin Chun, he is a very open-minded person. After the New Year, when his marriage is settled, he will go to the capital city and stay with cousin Rong Zhen to gain more experience. "

Huang and Jiang nodded repeatedly and said they would follow Shi Liu's arrangements.

Pomegranate's arrangement is absolutely great.

Huang thought that Tongger was indeed a dull person and not suitable to go out, so it would be better for him to stay in the woodworking workshop. From what Shiliu said, maybe she would hand over the woodworking workshop to Tongger in the future?
Jiang thought, Rong Zhen is the chief steward in the city, and Shi Liu wants Chun Ge'er to follow him to broaden his horizons. Maybe he will let Chun Ge'er be the steward in the shop in the future?

Oh, just thinking about this, they couldn't stop laughing.
