The three older children, Zhou Chi, Jin Jingjing and Jin Yanyan, held each other's thick gloves and played happily on the ice, while Xia Chan and the other adults stood by and watched.
Seeing the children so happy, they are also very pleased. The biggest wish of parents is that their children can grow up healthy, strong and happy, and they don’t think about how successful their children will be.
When the children were tired of playing, they took them back home and then took them to the hot springs. They were sweating from skating and would easily get sick if they didn't wash.
As the twelfth lunar month approached, the village's winter hunting team had already set out, and Xia Chan's family had also sold their pigs. They did not go to such great lengths and directly sold whole pigs. They sold six domestic black pigs and six large wild boars that they raised themselves, and used the remaining four black pigs to kill as New Year pigs.
They had a large family. There were fourteen people in their four small families alone, not to mention Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao. They also had to send meat to the Xiao family far away in Beijing, so they slaughtered four pigs for the New Year.
Xia Chan braised all the pig heads, pig ears, and pig offal. After the braised food was ready, he shared it among several families. The others had to freeze them in the yard and heat them up when they were eaten. Xia Chan's share was kept in a space and they could just bring out a pot whenever they wanted to eat it.
He also pickled some pork, pig heads, pheasants, hares, etc., and smoked them into bacon after a few days. He then sent them back to the Xiao family. Jin Pengfei also wanted to get some from his father-in-law and mother-in-law!
Afterwards, everyone made buns and dumplings together, using up a lot of pork. The remaining pork was divided equally among the four families, and everyone could do whatever they wanted with it.
Chickens, ducks, geese and other things are also prepared and placed in a large vat in the yard. When you want to eat them, you can just take a bag and take them home to cook.
But they didn't prepare a lot, because they lived in the courtyard most of the time and only came out occasionally to do housework. There were all kinds of food in the courtyard, but they rarely used them.
Until the last few days of the year, everyone stopped going to the courtyard. There were a lot of things to do at the end of the year, and they were afraid of missing out on things happening in the village. There were dividends to be distributed in the village, and there were also dividends from the vermicelli factory.
This year, a new model was adopted. Not only were the rabbits sold, but those who sold the rabbits also made some money. This can be said to be a win-win situation due to cooperation.
However, as more and more new households were separated in the village, the amount of money distributed to each household became less and less. But the amount distributed to each household was almost one hundred, which was still pretty good. Add to that the dividends from the vermicelli factory, it was almost a hundred. For a family in the countryside, this amount of money was still a lot.
Moreover, after everyone divided up the property, many families were three or four people, and the money that just a few people got was more than what everyone as a whole earned in previous years. It was really good, and everyone was very content.
Moreover, many people purchase goods from breeding farms, and they decide how much profit they want to make. Some people are not afraid to sell to faraway county towns, so the price will be higher and they can make more profit, so everyone is very satisfied.
After dividing the money, everyone started preparing for the New Year. Xia Chan also prepared a lot of New Year's goods. He bought them from outside whenever possible and tried not to use his savings from his previous life.
Su Yu also came back from vacation. Some of them had vacation before the New Year, and some had vacation after the New Year. Su Yu chose to have vacation before the New Year and be on duty after the New Year.
After the holiday, she stayed in the Yong'an Production Team for a few days, and then she and Jin Pengfei took the sisters Jin Jingjing and Jin Miaomiao to visit their grandparents.
Su Qin, the man who came to the countryside with Su Yu that year, is Su Yu's biological brother. He is 36 years old and is getting married at the end of this year, so Su Yu chose to take a rest before the New Year so that he could take the children to the wedding.
Su Yu's family has four children. Su Yu and his younger brothers and sisters are all married, leaving Su Qin. Because Su Qin works in the army, it is not as easy to find a partner as it is for other jobs. Even if he finds one, he has no time to accompany the other person, and it is difficult to stay together. So it has been delayed until now. I heard that the woman is only in her twenties, a whole generation younger than Su Qin. Everyone thinks that Su Qin is lucky to marry such a beautiful young wife.
When they set out, Xia Chan drove a tractor to take the family of four to the town to catch the bus. After they got on the bus, Xia Chan turned back.
Su Yu didn't say when she would be back. It's very likely that she would not be back until after the holiday. Fortunately, she had distributed this year's income a few days ago. This year, except for the poultry, she sold six domestic pigs, yams, cassava, and other things. She also sold the livestock, fruits and vegetables raised in the yard...
In the first year after they returned to the village to start their own business, they earned 70,000 yuan, and each household received more than 17,000 yuan. However, they only told others that it was a few thousand yuan, which was from selling pigs and mountain products.
After all, the fish were only raised in the first year and were still too small to be sold.
There was no poultry for sale either, as everyone could see.
Just by selling a few pigs, some mountain products, and vegetables grown on the mountain, everyone can guess how much they could be sold for, so a few thousand yuan is about the right amount.
Xia Chan bought ten hills and planted so many fruit trees and vegetables, but only made a few thousand dollars in the first year. Everyone thought it was quite low, after all, the cost was too high. But everyone also knew that after a few years when the fruit trees were bearing fruit, it would definitely not be the case.
But they also know that Xia Chan and the others still owe more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan in capital. No matter how much money they make in the coming years, they will have to pay off their debts first. Their lives will not be as good as everyone else's!
What they didn't know was that Xia Chan also grew fruits and vegetables and raised livestock in the yard. She was making money in a low-key manner without letting anyone know.
But it's also good to let everyone think that they only earn a few thousand yuan, because then no one will be jealous of them. However, earning a few thousand yuan a year is already considered a high income in this era, so there are still many people who imitate them.
Just learn it. Raising them is a simple thing, but selling them all is not easy. They have to figure it out on their own. Xia Chan has no obligation to teach them. After all, she doesn't have any tuition fees.
On New Year's Eve, the whole village was filled with fragrance, and Xia Chan's family and other families were cooking in their kitchens. Of course, it was unrealistic to make so many things in one kitchen alone, and it would also be too time-consuming.
For fear that the children would disturb everyone at home, Xiao Tiantian was asked to look after the children in the yard, and only let them out when the New Year’s Eve dinner was almost ready.
Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi, Xia Bin and Xiao Mimi, Jin Pengyuan and Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao, all three kitchens were working at full capacity, preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. They only needed to cook a few dishes at a time, and then when it was almost time to eat the dinner, they would stir-fry a few vegetarian dishes, and the New Year's Eve dinner would be ready.
While the dishes in the pot were stewing, Xia Chan took out drinks from the space. There were many children at home, so he took out drinks that the children could drink, such as orange juice and coconut juice...
It's freezing outside, but the temperature inside the house is quite high. Have some frozen pears and persimmons, and the cool feeling will be so comfortable.
With the concerted efforts of the whole family, a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was prepared. There was not enough space in the house, and the temperature in the yard was minus ten degrees Celsius, so everyone could only eat the New Year's Eve dinner in the warm small yard. After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, they soaked in the hot springs. It was so comfortable. (End of this chapter)
