This winter, there has been no heavy snowfall, and many people can't help frowning when they look at the small snowflakes falling from the sky and disappearing as soon as they fall to the ground.

This is a truth that everyone understands! If there are not a few heavy snowfalls in the winter now, and if the wheat in the field is not covered with a thick quilt, the crops in the field will be infested with many insects in the coming year.

The four children did not understand the worries in the hearts of the people, and they stood in the courtyard and looked at the snowflakes in the sky, and they also frowned, but they were not worried about the country and the people, but worried that the goal that their father promised to take them to ski would not be achieved.

"Mother, when is it snowing heavily?" Ink knew that Xiao'er's prediction of the weather had always been very accurate.

Every time they went out in the morning to go to school, if it was going to rain that day, the mother would remind them to bring rain gear.

"Well, your wishes are going to be frustrated. Xiao'er said as she busied herself counting the supplies sent to the soldiers in the south.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and Xiao'er has cured a lot of bacon, ham, duck, and rabbit this year, all of which are going to be sent to the south for the soldiers to eat for the New Year.

Fresh meat doesn't last long, but cured meat can last for months, especially in winter.

In addition to wax flavor, Xiao'er also prepared a lot of dry goods, including abalone, fish maw, yaozhu, sea cucumber and the like, which is intended to prepare a Buddha jumping over the wall for soldiers who have not returned home for several years on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!

"Oh my God, I want to ski!" Ink made a gesture of blessing to the sky.

If you don't practice your handwriting well, your father won't take you skiing even if it snows. Xiao'er couldn't help but laugh when she saw Mo's childish behavior.

Of all the children, ink is the most playful!

Qingqing only thinks about eating! The first thing she does when she wakes up every day is to eat! When she is not full, she is satisfied! She is listless all day!

As an older brother, Rooftop is the most sensible, and he sets a good example for his younger siblings in everything: playing with his younger siblings is the most dangerous and exciting! It makes people angry half to death! When studying, he behaves the most seriously, learns the fastest, and is the best! It is very gratifying!

As for Nuan Nuan, she is very smart, and if she doesn't make a sound, she is a blockbuster!

"Oh, mother, why do you always mention my sadness!" Ink gave Xiao'er a sad look, and then went back to the study.

Alas, the most impatient thing he is is practicing calligraphy! Who came up with this human torture!

After Xiao'er counted the supplies, she said to Yang Mei, "Let Zhao Yong come over." ”

Zhao Yong came soon.

Xiao'er pointed to the things on the ground and said, "Zhao Yong, you arranged for people to send these materials to the front line, these things are used to prepare Chinese New Year's Eve meals for the soldiers." By the way, don't forget, a chef from the Four Seasons Restaurant was sent to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the soldiers, and the cooking soldiers couldn't make the authentic taste of Buddha jumping over the wall. Also, go to the winery and bring some more wine over. ”

"Princess, the soldiers' Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is so rich, the subordinates personally send it over, and come back after eating the overnight meal!"

"Yes, but don't ask me for New Year's red envelopes when you come back!"

"That's still it!" At the end of the busy year, what I am most looking forward to is the New Year's red envelope!

After Zhao Yong left, Xiao'er glanced at the sky.

This year is indeed a warm winter, there will be no heavy snow, the children's wish to ski is about to be disappointed, of course, the people's wish to look at the sky every day, praying for heavy snow.

But no matter if there will be a good harvest next year, don't be afraid!

The people and the court of Min Zeguo can withstand the wind and waves!

In the past two years or so, except for the northwest, which has not been completely improved, the inferior fields or wasteland of the poor people in other prefectures and counties have been transformed.

Moreover, the emperor also specially asked the officials of various prefectures and counties to count which poor families did not have land, and then find a wasteland suitable for land reclamation. Give each poor family one acre of renovated wasteland to ensure that the people of the whole country have enough to eat.

The emperor appointed Shen Chengyao as the lord of the Qincha, and inspected the whole country to implement this matter, in order to prevent local officials from disobeying the yin and lied about the number of poor families to defraud the court of the fertile soil.

Shen Chengyao has also left the imperial capital for more than two years, and he should come back before the Chinese New Year this year!

When people grow up, they will have their own missions to accomplish, and it will be difficult to get together even in the New Year.

Thinking of this, Xiao'er turned around and went back to the house, and began to check the account books of each shop this year, she didn't have much time to be sad.

As long as people are safe and sound, it doesn't matter if they don't get together, because thousands of miles together!

Xiao'er quietly checked the accounts in the house, and what I have to say here is that several bird's nest houses built by Xiao'er in Yanziling, Zezhou, successfully attracted swallows last year.

This year, there are several bird's nest houses, and the annual output of each bird's nest is not less than 100 catties! And the quality of the bird's nest is very good.

Such a good quality bird's nest is cheaper than the bird's nest picked in the natural cave, and it is naturally sought after by many ladies and young ladies. Almost every time it goes on the market, it is sold out.

Next year, the bird's nest will be more mature, and the yield of bird's nest will definitely be higher. Xiao'er plans to build a few more bird's nest houses to increase the total production of bird's nests.

Xiao'er looked at the general ledger of each shop, made a summary, and made plans and plans for each shop for the coming year.

Looking at the account books one by one, Xiao'er felt a little rich, which was really wonderful!

In addition to checking the accounts, Xiao'er also needs to arrange New Year's gifts and New Year's events, so she is busy every day, and the New Year is coming.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, according to custom, is eaten with the ministers in the palace.

Because Min Zeguo is getting richer and stronger year by year, this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is also getting richer year by year.

This Chinese New Year's Eve meal was eaten from noon to sunset.

The emperor received good news from the south early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, Shangguan Xuanjun and Di Shaowei and others led troops to capture the two cities of Nangong Kingdom, and he was so happy that he almost pulled the ministers to get drunk, or the empress ordered someone to replace the emperor's wine with water, and the emperor stopped.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the custom, there was a vigil, and the family was guarding the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, talking, chatting, and playing cards, Xiao'er felt that it was too boring.

It happened that the weather was sunny this year's New Year, and there was no snow, so Xiao'er said, "I have prepared a lot of fireworks this year. Let's finish the dumplings and set off the fireworks!"

"Okay, I'm going to set off the fireworks myself!Great-Emperor Grandmother, you see, those fireworks are beautiful!" said Mo Shui as he shaped the dumplings into the shape of various small animals.

"Okay, okay, let Huaimo set off fireworks!" the Queen Mother said happily when she heard this.
