Li Manman looked at the lazy snowflakes floating outside the window, bored and holding his cheeks, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, mother is frying and cooking in the kitchen, let Li Manman look at the bone broth stewed on the stove. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because of the establishment of a vegetable greenhouse against the wall, Li Tianxue learned from the Northeast people to build a kang in the east house, and when the stove was burned to heat the greenhouse, the kang could be heated. Now Li Manman is sitting on the kang, warm and warm, and the fragrance of bone broth fills the air.

Sitting for a while, it was really boring, Li Manman jumped off the kang, took out the whole red paper and began to cut the paper for the couplet, as for writing the couplet, Li Manman did not dare, she was most afraid of writing brush words, the brush head was soft, really disobedient, in the previous life Li Manman wrote a hand of dog crawling words, not only the brush words are not flat and vertical, even the pen words are stretched out their legs, only the chalk words are still alive, so at the beginning of this life, Li Manman is practicing hard, but the brush words still can't see people.

After cutting paper, Li Manman took the remaining red paper to the kang, took out scissors and began to cut paper, Li Manman knew how to cut paper at the beginning of learning from the third sister-in-law, Li Manman's third sister-in-law is a very skillful woman, not only can make clothes, sweaters, but also cut paper, weave dustpans, and tie brooms. Li Manman because he saw that the paper-cutting was beautiful, he followed the study for a while, and later when he went to college, the classmates in the dormitory next door would also, the paper-cutting she made was once popular in the entire girls' dormitory, Li Manman also followed the trend to learn for a while, and in general, the craftsmanship was quite good. I sketched the figure to be cut in my mind, sketched it on the paper with a pencil, picked up the scissors and started cutting.

By the time Li Tianxue came back from the field to the graves of his ancestors, Li Manman had already cut the main house, and the three large windows were pasted with window grilles, the windows facing south were one large and two small, and the one facing north was a big one. On the bedroom window of my parents are the big window flowers that are happy on the eyebrows, the two small ones are this year's zodiac, Li Manman and his younger brother's bedroom is a large window flower, the small one is with the plum blossoms of Aoxue, and the north window is the carp leaping dragon gate. Looking at the red paper left in his hand, Li Manman decided to cut a large window grille on the window of his grandmother's room, and after thinking about it, he cut a more traditional Fushou Fengnian.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Taotao took off his heavy boots, ran to the kang with a cigarette, and looked at Li Manman playing with scissors with his head down, so he asked curiously, and then saw Li Manman's window flowers spread on the kang, and his surprised little mouth was upturned, "Sister, what is this?" Did you cut it? Look good! As he spoke, he reached out to take it, and Li Manman hurriedly stopped it.

"This is a window grille, pasted on the glass window, you can't play with it, it will rot if you mess with it!" Afraid that Taotao would be disobedient, he pointed out a task to him, "I have already cut the paper for writing couplets, while no one has come to let my dad write couplets now, you take these things first, and let my dad write the family first!" ”

"Hey, good!" Taotao agreed, but he was still a little reluctant to leave, grinding and chirping, and refused to leave.

Li Manman coaxed his younger brother: "You go and ask my dad to write a couplet first, and when the couplet is written, let my mother make the batter well, and we will paste the couplet and window grille together, and you will be able to look good at that time, and I also put a big window grille on your bedside!" ”

"Really?" Taotao was happy, in the spring, Li Tianxue felt that his son and daughter were older, so he divided the west house into two rooms, north and south, and saw a brick wall in the middle. Because Li Manman likes the green bamboos in the window of the north house very much, when he divided the room, he chose the north house.

Lunch at noon is a simple bun with bone broth as usual, after lunch, Lin Xiujuan did not rest, and went into the kitchen again, Li Manman took his younger brother to paste things at home, in front of the door, couplets, window flowers, the sisters and brothers were busy sweating, but their hearts were very lively.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a family of four, Grandma Li is in the little uncle's house this year to celebrate the New Year, Li Tianxue went to invite in the afternoon, but the old lady helped the little daughter-in-law to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so busy that she didn't want to come over at all.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was much more sumptuous than last year, and the most happy thing for Li Manman was that there was actually a plate of steamed sausages, which was one of Li Manman's favorite dishes, and there was also a plate of fish with fish, which were given by Li Tianxue's classmates. In the past six months, because of the project, Li Tianxue has a close relationship with several classmates in the county, and the relationship has gradually improved. Gifts are still exchanged, and Li Tianxue will bring them some agricultural products every time he goes to the county seat.

After eating, Lin Xiujuan sat on the kang to make dumplings, Li Manman followed, Taotao children looked out the window boredly, approaching the evening, the snow fell heavily again, and they definitely couldn't go out to play lanterns, Xiao Taotao's psychology was full of resentment.

Li Tianxue held a notebook in one hand and an abacus in the other, crackled and calculated for a while, put down the abacus, his face was full of joy, and said: "I calculated this year, and the family's income is very good, about more than 80,000 yuan." ”

Li Manman was taken aback, she knew that the family was making money, but she didn't expect it to be so much, and said in surprise: "Wow, so much!" ”

"Yes, I didn't expect that after planting the land for so many years, life has been tight, and I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains from the change of ideology and concepts!" Li Tianxue sighed and said.

"Report the account to us!" Lin Xiujuan looked at her sighing husband and said.

"Okay, I'll let you all have a number in your hearts!" Li Tianxue said with a smile, the Li family has always been like this, the economy is open and transparent, and he is not shy about children, Li Manman has always known his family's economic situation in his last life, "Let's talk about the big one first, I earned 40,000 yuan from contracting projects with my brother-in-law, and the dividends of the supply and marketing cooperatives for a few years are 15,000, and you have earned more than 20,000 yuan from small business, and the manuscript fee of Dahong adds up to 10,000 yuan, plus the reward of 5,000 yuan for her arrest of the gangster last time, I donated 1,000 to the welfare institute in the township, and it cost 500 to invite the relevant personnel to eat, and there are 3,050 left." Isn't that a little more than 80,000 when it adds up! ”

"Am I not making any money?" Taotao heard that her parents, mother and sister made money, but she didn't have it, so she asked a little depressed.

"Huh?" Li Tianxue was stunned for a moment, looked at his son's little eyes, and immediately smiled and said, "Earned, Taotao helps my mother sell things every day, and Taotao is in the money my mother earns." ”

"Oh! We've all made money! Taotao was happy to hear that he was also making money, so he ran around on the kang and turned over two heels.

"Dad, is my family's money deposited in the bank? Or is there another use? Li Manman pretended to be curious and asked, Lin Xiujuan also raised her head and looked at Li Tianxue, she felt that it was still best to make money make money, but her husband was the head of the family, and he decided to calculate it, and it was not bad for him to do this little business slowly.

"I think it's better to find a good project than to put it in the bank and eat interest! I just haven't thought of it yet! Li Tianxue frowned and said that he had been thinking about this issue all this time, but he had no clue.

"I think it's good to grow out-of-season vegetables, just these two small dingding greenhouses in my family, I bought nearly 3,000 yuan this winter!" Lin Xiujuan's brain moved and suggested.

"I've also thought about this problem, but it's too far away from the county seat, so there's not much to buy at the township market." Li Tianxue took over and said.

"Isn't my old uncle in Chengguan Town? Wouldn't it be better for us to rent land from him and grow vegetables? Li Manman interjected, "It is close to the county seat, not only can you grow vegetables, but you can also let the people in the city pick vegetables by yourself, and experience the fun of doing it yourself and having enough food and clothing." Feng Qiang said that there is such a place in Pingjing, called Farmhouse, many people in the city like to go, and he has also been there with his grandparents, which is very interesting! ”

Li Tianxue listened to his daughter's words, thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion, it is not difficult to rent land in Chengguan Town, last time the brother-in-law said that many villagers in Chengguan Town are willing to go to the county and the city to find a job, and they are not willing to farm at home. Although the land has not been abandoned, it should be easier to rent it, and the brother-in-law is still working as an accountant in the village. As for how to get the land rent back, it is a difficult problem, so you have to think about it: "Da Hong, how did Feng Qiang describe the farmhouse to you in the letter, you tell me about it!" ”

"When he went to the farmhouse, it was summer, and the vegetables grown in the field were common, but there were several districts, one place to grow vegetables, one place to grow fruits, and a pond where people could fish, and there were fruit trees on the fish ponds, and the people in the city could pick vegetables and fruits by themselves after they went, and the farmhouse could also make vegetables and vegetables for them to eat, or you could lend them the pot and stove and let them make their own food. It's fun! Feng Qiang also said that he would go there again in winter! Li Manman told Li Tianxue about the model of the farmhouse in the later generations.

"This farmhouse is really nice! There is also a restaurant! Lin Xiujuan also listened, and the more she thought about it, the more interesting she felt.

Li Tianxue listened while thinking about its feasibility, this kind of farmhouse, he heard of it for the first time, a little risky, but his classmates in the county don't often say that they want to play in the countryside, people in the city probably think that rural life is very fresh, there should be a future for development, it is still worth taking a risk, nodded: "I think it's good, I'll go and discuss with Miss Fu after the New Year, I'm afraid my family's money is not enough, I'll bring my brother-in-law in first!" ”

"I don't care, as long as you don't starve me and the children to death!" Lin Xiujuan said with a smile. Looking at his wife's serious face of making dumplings under the light, Li Tianxue's heart was full of happiness.
