There are not many days before the New Year, Ma's is gone, Aunt Qi, Luo Jiu and the three of her can't be busy at all, it's good to have He Qi and He Shun to help before, the key is that the two of them are not here, if Ma's leaves again, it will be a big loss in the shop.

In addition, today's shop is not the same as when it first opened, and the business was light at that time, which is not as good as now.

Fan Shaoxuan and Fan Shaoliang brothers still have to go to private school, Fan Qiqi is also older now, although the salary in her shop is not very high, but the salary for Fan Shaoxuan and his brothers to study in private school is not a big problem.

Ma Shi wanted to say anything more, but was blocked back by Hui Niang, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to take it to heart, some things happen when they happen, we can't prevent it, the most important thing is to look forward." ”

Ma Shi nodded, and said with some guilt: "Third brother and sister, I am causing you trouble." ”

"What's the trouble, sister-in-law, don't think so much, it's important to do things well, seeing that it's going to be the New Year again, and the family has to spend a sum of silver, you better think more about how to make money." Hui Niang was happy.

Ma smiled and nodded, and stopped saying that he didn't plan to work in the shop.

In the evening of this day, Hui Niang and his party came back from the shop, and the old man Fan, father and son, plus orchids and others were cleaning, the vermicelli was not done, the cleaning tools must be cleaned, and the bacon and bacon had to be placed one by one.

When I got home, these things were almost done, and when I saw Hui Niang coming back, the group was about to say goodbye and leave, Hui Niang smiled and nodded, "It's been hard for everyone these days." ”

Old man Fan smiled and didn't say anything, and a few people said goodbye to Hui Niang, and a few people left together.

After entering the house, Hui Niang drank a few sips of hot tea first. went to sort out the things that he was going to bring to Pei Muqing tomorrow, Feng San was also on the side to help, and when it was almost done, Aunt Liu also began to call for dinner, Miao Miao, Yawen and Xiao Baozi were scurrying around in the house, and Hui Niang called several times to stop them.

Taking advantage of the time to eat, Hui Niang discussed with Aunt Qi, the business of this shop will be open until the twenty-sixth, and it will not be opened, and it will be opened on the fifteenth next year.

Aunt Qi thought about it. said: "Madam, I think we can open for two more days, and the Chinese New Year is approaching." Business in the shop is obviously much better than before. ”

Hui Niang disagreed, "Let's open until twenty-six, I've been busy for a year, it's time to close the shop early, and it doesn't matter if you make one less day." The most important thing is that the more you go to the back, there are definitely fewer people going to town. ”

Aunt Qi thought about it for a while, the more the New Year, the more expensive the price became, many people prepared the New Year's goods at the beginning of the month, and at the end of the year, I am afraid that there are not so many people in the town.

Breakfast was had on the second day. Hui Niang took Feng San and Liu Ashui to the city to deliver goods, and there were many things to bring today, and the carriage of the carriage was almost unloaded. Later, Hui Niang said that she had packed some of the noodles into the carport, so she reluctantly loaded the things she brought this time.

When she arrived in the city, Hui Niang was so crowded that she was about to deform, and there were things behind her back all the way, and it was difficult for Hui Niang to stretch her feet. finally arrived in the city, but Hui Niang's legs were stiff. After being helped down by Feng San, he came back to life.

After shaking off the dust on her body, Hui Niang walked into the treasure building quickly, and after saying hello to Shopkeeper Zhou, she got down to business, "Shopkeeper Zhou, I'm here to deliver the goods, please send two guys to help me move things in." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou said: "Cheng, Hui Niang, you wait first?" I'm going to call two people. ”

After getting along so many times, Shopkeeper Zhou also knew what kind of person Hui Niang was, so without saying a word, he went to call someone to help Feng San and Liu Ashui, who were dismantling the rope outside, move things in.

When Hui Niang sent vermicelli and bacon and other things before, she also sent them to this treasure building, and the money was also directly settled with the shopkeeper Zhou, and Pei Muqing also explained this matter.

After settling the accounts of the delivery, the shopkeeper Zhou asked, "Hui Niang, it's unfortunate that you came today, our young master is not here today." ”

Hui Niang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's okay, I'm here to deliver the goods today, not looking for your young master." ”

After talking to the shopkeeper Zhou for a while, Hui Niang took Feng San and Liu Ashui back, and went to the embroidery village to buy some fabrics and fruits before going back.

After bargaining with the owner who sold the fruit, Hui Niang bought five catties of both, paid the money, and went back.

When Pei Muqing arrived at the Treasure Building, Hui Niang and his party had already left the city, and the shopkeeper Zhou and Pei Muqing reported the matter, Pei Muqing sighed and said, "Did Sister-in-law Fan leave a message?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at Pei Muqing, who was full of exhaustion, shook his head, Pei Muqing helped his forehead, "I know, Shopkeeper Zhou, you go down first." ”

I didn't see Shopkeeper Zhou go down for a while, Pei Muqing raised his eyes and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, what else do you have to do?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou continued to shake his head, but said slowly: "Young Master, you are busy, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Pei Muqing glanced at Shopkeeper Zhou, her heart was a little warm, and she nodded, "Okay, I know." But he sneered in his heart, but the people in the family did not care about him as much as a servant.

When she got home, Hui Niang asked Feng San to take the fruit she bought today to the cellar for preservation, and then went into the house with the cloth to find Aunt Liu and began to cut clothes to make new clothes for the New Year.

What I bought for Fan Ming was cyan, and it was best for Fan Ming to wear it, and the fabric was handed over to Aunt Liu, and Hui Niang went upstairs to put the account book in place.

Hui Niang has always kept accounts for the family's expenses and income, in order to find out where the money goes, and she has a bottom, and she obviously makes more money this year than last year. There is a lot of money, and the expenses in this house are also large, just the wages paid, there are more than ten taels, the wages for making moon cakes, the wages for hiring people in the shop, and the wages for making bacon vermicelli and other things, of course, this is only in the second half of the year, and there are not so many in the first half of the year.

Add the two hundred taels that came back from today's checkout, and Hui Niang calculated that her family income is several times more than last year, and there are already more than two thousand one hundred taels of silver in her hands, not counting the shop.

Fan Ming will come back when the time comes, not to mention a few hundred taels, plus the share of the hot pot restaurant, there must be a lot, zero and zero total, Hui Niang roughly calculated, there should be about 1,000 taels, and now there is more and more hope for this day, Hui Niang is also happy in her heart.

If this is compared with the people in the city, it must be a head higher, put the accounts together, Hui Niang is thinking about giving bonuses, it has been said before, Hui Niang can't be untrustworthy, presumably Aunt Yinhua is still looking forward to it.

Thinking of Aunt Yinhua's sparkling eyes, Hui Niang was a little funny, so she simply paid each person two months more wages, and two months' wages were two taels of silver, which was not less.

Even if it is the New Year, they can live very well, presumably Fan Lin can't earn three taels of silver in a short time while working in the city, and now that their family's life is better, it is of course to help Fan Lin and Fan Lei more.

Take out the wages and bonuses to be paid tomorrow and put them away, Hui Niang went downstairs, handed over the work of cutting cloth to Aunt Liu, Hui Niang was responsible for sewing, and the busy work in the afternoon passed.

Orchid and others came over in the evening, originally Hui Niang decided to pay twenty-two, but tomorrow she has to go to the shop to help, may not have time to pay Orchid and others, and then they said, come over this afternoon to get it.

Orchid and the others were very happy when they got their wages, and they didn't leave in a hurry, and said to Hui Niang with a smile: "We have taken Hui Niang's light again." ”

Hui Niang smiled: "This is what you should do." "Hui Niang knows how hard it is to do these things, and she should give them the bonus they deserve.

Aunt Yinhua said: "That's not, our current life is prosperous, and we all occupy Hui Niang's light." ”

Or is it good what her man said, since he promised to come to Huiniang to do things well, he has to do it well, don't have any other thoughts, isn't it? This year, she, Aunt Chun and Orchid can have a few taels of silver income, all of which account for Hui Niang's light, which is more than the income of her family men and sons, how can Aunt Yinhua not be happy?

"That's not it." Aunt Chun also agreed, and the smile on her face was indescribable.

Orchid also pursed her lips and smiled, a few people were talking, Fan Lin and Fan Lei also came over, but they didn't see Old Man Fan, as soon as these two came, Aunt Yinhua shouted: "Oh, Fan Lin, you brothers are late, Hui Niang has sent us wages and bonuses." ”

Aunt Chun pulled Aunt Yinhua, "What are you talking about?" Say all these things out of tune. ”

"Oh, I'm talking about it too, Fan Lin, don't you care?"

Fan Lin nodded, Hui Niang glanced at Fan Lin and Fan Lei, and said, "What about Dad?" Why didn't he come? ”

Fan Lei scratched his head and said, "Dad said that I don't want your salary as a third sister-in-law, so I didn't come over." ”

Hui Niang paused for a moment, and then laughed, "Then you can give it to your father later." ”

Fan Lin said: "Dad said that it is right to help the third brother and sister work, and there is no need for money. ”

"How can it be done, my father has been working hard with me for so long, and I have nothing to honor, and the situation of my father and mother is like that, how can my father be successful if he doesn't have spare money? Big brother, don't say it, I know it in my heart, and when I trouble you to give the money to my father later, I will honor him, if he doesn't accept it, I won't let him help in the future. ”

Hui Niang doesn't have to think about it to know that Old Man Fan doesn't have any private house, if he wants to subsidize Ruhua, the married girl, I'm afraid that he has no money, although their sons and daughters-in-law have a living allowance of 100 yuan every month, but those who heard Xiaoliu's say are in the hands of the Li family.

If Old Man Fan wants to buy anything, he probably won't be able to get a penny.

Hui Niang's family affairs, Aunt Yinhua and others were not good at interfering, and when Fan Lin nodded and agreed, Hui Niang gave them the salary and bonus, and went back after not staying for a while, Hui Niang was not reluctant, and saw them leave.
