"Before grandma died, let me give this to Sister Siyuan." Third Brother Shu took out a small wooden box and handed it to Sun Siyuan. Sun Siyuan didn't expect that the old lady still had something to leave for herself.

"What else did Grandma say?" Brother Shu asked. "Grandma said, after the New Year, you will marry your sister-in-law immediately and enter the door, and you must not delay!" While saying this, the third brother Shu cried. After hearing this, Brother Shu also squatted on the ground and hugged his head and cried.

In this situation, Sun Siyuan's eyes are also hot, such a wise old woman, her life has gone from brilliant to downcast, and finally disappeared into the dust, and the only thing she can't let go of when she is dying is her children and grandchildren.

Mrs. Shu died at the age of seventy-seven, which is considered a happy funeral, she suffered a change in middle age, her family property was copied, her life was taken away, her husband went first, her daughter-in-law died again, a son was bedridden for more than 20 years, and now her son finally stood up, and her grandson also saw the dawn, she couldn't hold on anymore.

The Shu family is guilty, although it has been decades since the incident, after all, the imperial power is supreme, and the Shu family brothers, including Uncle Shu, are all preparing for the funeral to be simple, but Sun Siyuan disagrees.

It stands to reason that Sun Siyuan is not qualified to dictate other people's family affairs, but she was completely shocked when she saw what Mrs. Shu left her. This old man is a righteous person, and Sun Siyuan feels that she must do something for her.

The funeral was Sun Siyuan, and the expenses were also paid by Sun Siyuan, the Shu brothers disagreed, Sun Siyuan pointed out that it was inconvenient for the Shu family to do things, and Uncle Shu is now in good health, she wants to be hired, after all, unlike the Shu brothers, Uncle Shu is literate. The Shu family brothers only regarded it as an advance salary in their hearts, and did not argue with Sun Siyuan.

The winter day is cold and windy, and the snow reflects the blue sky.

As soon as the suona sounded, the mourning music shook the soul. The suona master is a decades-old craft from the town next door. The children of the village did not yet understand the meaning of death, and laughed around the people who played and sang; The young and middle-aged people burst into tears; The old people heard it, and some of them saw through the enlightenment and depression of life and death.

After the burial of the old lady, everything gradually returned to its original place, and the grief remained in the hearts of the relatives, waiting for time to slowly heal.

In 14 months, it was too cold, the chickens didn't like to lay eggs, the vegetables on the ground were frozen to death, and the bran of the nearby people was bought up by Sun Siyuan, so she collected grain to feed the chickens, and it cost three or four taels of silver a day, and the cart pulling the grain ran to the chicken coop every day. Others think Sun Siyuan is wasteful, but Sun Siyuan understands in her heart, is it just counting on the donkey to pull the mill and not give the donkey grass? There is a return only with investment, but the chickens that Gu Niang's family wants are not decreasing but increasing, isn't this all money?

The customs of the New Year in this world are very similar to those in China, no matter how much money there is at home, everyone is actively buying New Year's goods, which is also a rare time of the year when vegetables are more expensive than meat, and the people in the village are collecting the vegetables in advance and hiding them in the cellar, and when they reach the coldest weather, they are transported to the town or county, and they can be sold for a large price.

The closer to the end of the year, the more lively the bazaar becomes, many scholars set up desks in the ice and snow, write couplets for others, the price is not expensive, everyone is willing to pay for an auspicious word.

Sun Siyuan nestled in bed all day long, Zhao Youqian took care of all the housework, and couldn't wait to feed her, Sun Siyuan was more and more lazy to be raised. Sister-in-law Gu never saw Sun Siyuan come to the door, so she came to see her with a big belly of eight months. Seeing her appearance, she scolded her for being too lazy, Sun Siyuan was not ashamed, and said that you let Brother Gu take care of you like this.

Sister-in-law Gu was helpless, her husband was still selling fried chicken in the county, how could he have time to take care of her like this; Besides, in the entire Baguan Village, how can there be such a happy daughter-in-law as Sun Siyuan? Zhao Youqian really held her in the palm of his hand.

Ji Sifang came to Sun Siyuan and gave her this year's dividend. In the past six months, the Gu family has worked hard, and the dividend from selling oil is as high as 110 taels, and according to the contract, Sun Siyuan can get 11 taels of silver.

Sun Siyuan's family did not clean up a special living room, that is, the bedroom was separated by a screen, and stools and tables were placed. When Ji Sifang entered the door, Sun Siyuan was still on the bed, and she was embarrassed to get up again, so she simply sat up wrapped in the quilt. Zhao Youqian moved the screen away, and Sun Siyuan was facing Ji Sifang. Ji Sifang looked at Sun Siyuan, who had no scruples about her image, and only felt that she was really a strange woman.

Ji Sifang brought the account book, but Sun Siyuan didn't read it, only looked at the general ledger, and then reached out to ask for money. Ji Sifang paid the silver, Zhao Youqian was ready to drive people away, Sun Siyuan thought of one thing, and chatted with Ji Sifang again, Zhao Youqian saw this, took off his shoes and went to bed, holding Sun Siyuan with the quilt in his arms.

Ji Sifang has a black line, if Sun Siyuan is lying on the bed, it is the true temperament of the youngest daughter, which is pitiful, then Zhao is rich and a two-meter strong man, and going to bed at this moment really does not give him face. Anyway, he's also a guest, what kind of hospitality is this? He has never met such a rude man!

Sun Siyuan didn't realize the discomfort of Zhao Youqian's behavior, and only cared about discussing with Ji Sifang what he cared about.

"What does Second Brother Ji mean that there is no proper disposal method for the residue left over from oil extraction?" Sun Siyuan looked at Ji Sifang with a small calculation in her heart.

Ji Sifang no longer paid attention to Zhao Youqian and concentrated on business. "Yes, that one, the one who bought the recipe, I heard that he once sold the residue to the pig farm, but unfortunately the pig did not react well after eating, and then there was no follow-up.

Sun Siyuan immediately thought of the crux of the problem, untreated soybean meal contains antitrypsin, uremia, saponins, goiter-inducing factors, etc., which will have adverse effects on the digestion and utilization of animals and feed. It is naturally not possible to feed the remaining residues of oil extraction directly to the pigs.

"Second Brother Ji, don't hide it, I still have a recipe to deal with this residue in my hand, Second Brother Ji's family is working hard to squeeze oil, it is better to sell this residue to me, I can copy a copy for the second brother in this way, and the second brother will give it to that one, and I will be happy to sell a favor." Ji Sifang listened to it, and only felt that Sun Siyuan was really wonderful.

The Ji family squeezed oil for half a year, and the soybean residue saved was more than 30,000 catties, which were piled up at home and didn't know how to deal with it, but Sun Siyuan didn't expect Sun Siyuan to solve it all at once.

Sun Siyuan's offer was one and a half pounds, and Ji Sifang felt that the price was too high, so he took the initiative to lower it. Sun Siyuan's offer was based on the price of grain, but he didn't expect Ji Sifang to lower the price. "Second Brother Ji, you are such a demon! If you have money, earn it, don't take care of me!" Sun Siyuan was half-joking.

Ji Sifang shook his head, "The profits of oil extraction are already very rich, these residues are secondary, and a penny is already very profitable, Sister Siyuan doesn't have to care." ”

The two sides agreed, and the price of the last catty was one penny, and the Ji family was responsible for transporting the things to the chicken coop.

After settling the money, Ji Sifang left, Sun Siyuan felt embarrassed, so she went to the chicken coop and brought four chickens back to Ji Sifang, and Ji Sifang took it generously.
