That day, in addition to buying a pair of gold wedding rings, Su Yuanyang also bought a pair of earrings for Li Wanzhen, and originally gave her the gold necklace she wanted to buy, but Li Wanzhen stopped her - she just had more money in her hands, but she couldn't develop the habit of spending lavishly.

went to the children's clothing store and bought two new clothes for Su Yan and Su Kai, and at Su Yan's insistence, Su Yuanyang and Li Wanzhen also bought one each. It's still early to get out of the mall, and the couple are total, and there are only 20 days before the New Year, so they simply took the opportunity to come out together today to get the New Year's goods.

So the family went straight to the seafood market. In fact, some common seafood is available in their town, and this time they mainly want to buy some dry goods. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the market is very lively, Su Yuanyang and the others went in and walked around, and bought some fish gelatin, sea cucumbers, dried scallops, and seahorses. Su Yan loves shrimp the most, and when she passed by a seafood stall and saw that the super big shrimp feet couldn't move, Su Yuanyang immediately picked four, good guy! That's four pounds, and a shrimp is a pound!

I was going to go out of the market and buy some sugar and biscuits or something, but the big bag and the small bag also brought two children, and it was inconvenient to move, so I gave up. Anyway, Su Yuanyang will come over every day, and he can buy whatever he needs at that time.

There are no direct buses in the city to the village. They had to take a bus to the town and then transfer from the town back to the village, so that when they got home, it was dark.

As soon as she packed her things, Chen Rihong, the second daughter-in-law who had nothing to do on weekdays, came to the door.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, are you going out today?"

"Hmm." Su Yuanyang replied lightly, "No, I've been running outside for the past two days, and I finally contacted someone to buy those oysters." After a while, I will return the money to you as soon as I receive it. ”

When he came to the door at this time, he naturally knew what the second daughter-in-law meant.

"No hurry! There's no rush to this! Chen Rihong looked obviously relieved, but waved his hand and smiled, "I'm just here to ask, how is this year's harvest with this oyster?" Is it easy to earn? ”

"It's just a few hard-earned money." Su Yuanyang was still faint, and raised his eyes to look at Su Yan, who was waving her hand behind the second daughter-in-law. His daughter is really precocious, and she knows the truth that wealth cannot be revealed at such a young age.

His two brothers-in-law have a close relationship with their mother's family. Originally, he was a big man, and he rarely paid attention to these neighborhood gossip, but Li Sumei, who had a good relationship with his daughter-in-law, came to chat with her...... These two brothers-in-law are close to the sea, and when Su Yuanhe and Su Yuanjiang came to help before, they also mentioned that the two daughters-in-law's maiden brothers were engaged in shellfish farming.

Now the second daughter-in-law is so concerned about oyster farming, he has to keep an eye on it.

Originally, seeing the harvest of oysters, he also earned money that he didn't want to think about before, and he was also thinking that he should help his two younger brothers to work together next year. But today's arrival of Chen Rihong reminded him that confessing to his two younger brothers is equivalent to confessing to his two younger brothers and daughters-in-law, and it is also equivalent to confessing to everyone. By then, everyone will be raising oysters.

This year's oysters can be sold at this price, not only because he is exclusively cooperating with the aquatic company, but also because the aquatic company's goods will not be on the market for a while and a half, and Cheng Hui has signed a contract with the buyer, even if he makes less money in the middle, he must maintain the credibility factor.

Today he talked to Cheng Hui that next year the aquatic company also plans to expand breeding, but for the time being, there is no plan to promote it to ordinary farmers, and he is afraid that everyone will swarm to do this, and then the production will be over, and the price will be cheap.

At that time, Cheng Hui also specially instructed Su Yuanyang not to let most people know for the time being. Of course, this kind of thing can't be covered forever, and the cultivation of oyster seedlings is not too technical, even if the aquatic company does not provide it, others can still imitate it, but due to lack of experience and other reasons, the seedling rate may not be high. After he continues to expand his customer base next year, he plans to open the purchase of oyster seedlings to farmers, but at that time, the price of oyster seedlings will not be the price he provides to Su Yuanyang now.

After all, not all farmers will be willing to be purchased by the aquatic company and then sold in a unified manner, so there will definitely be price competition, and the price of oysters will not go up.

It's better to make a fortune while selling oyster seedlings.

Then again.

Sure enough, Chen Rihong's brows furrowed when she heard it. Her younger brother came in the afternoon, and when he talked about raising mussels and cockles at home, he complained that he was tired and couldn't make any money, so he might as well go out to work. She also thought that if it was easier to raise oysters, she would let her brother follow her...... Now it looks like it's pretty much the same!

Now her husband goes out for ten months a year and can earn more than 10,000 yuan! It's much better than working hard at home and taking risks, there are scallops in their village, but this year they encountered some kind of disease, and they almost lost all their money.

Looking at Su Yuanyang and Li Wanzhen's faces that were obviously darker and thinner than last year, Chen Rihong completely dispelled his thoughts.

After that, he was obviously absent-minded, chatted a few words and went home.

The Su family continued to live their peaceful life, Su Yuanyang followed the boat in the morning, and after returning from running errands in the morning, he and Li Wanzhen went to the field to work. After more than two weeks in this way, it was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

Cheng Hui said hello to Su Yuanyang the day before, Chinese New Year's Eve to the second day of the new year holiday, coupled with the high demand for the New Year, on the twenty-eighth day will be enough to transport five ships of goods totaling 25,000 jin, and then stop for a few days, and continue on the third day of the new year. So in the afternoon of this day, Su Yuanyang hurriedly came back with a small black plastic bag.

When he got home, he stuffed it into Su Yan and poured water to drink.

Su Yan also opened it with her hand, and couldn't help but have black lines on her head, and the bag was full of money, it seemed that her father was a black plastic bag......

Su Yuanyang looked back after drinking the water and saw his daughter looking at the plastic bag dumbfounded, so he couldn't help but smile and tease her: "Nannan, you help Dad count it and see how much it is?" Usually when he calculated, she always watched from the side, and he simply taught her the basic knowledge of counting and addition and subtraction.

Su Yan glanced at it, it was all 100 yuan bills, a total of 15 yuan, generally 10 sheets, so she replied casually: "Fifteen thousand." ”

"......" Su Yuanyang was silent for a while, then reached out and grabbed Su Yan, "You little housekeeper mother-in-law......" I didn't think Su Yan was too smart, in his opinion, his genes should raise such a smart daughter!

At this time, Li Wanzhen, who had been busy in the kitchen, came in, and Su Yuanyang took the plastic bag and handed it to her: "I deposited 35,000 of the money I collected today to the bank, which is 15,000." Didn't there be a few thousand left at home before? Take a thousand out and add it, and return it to the second and third children in the evening. ”

When Su Yuanhe and Su Yuanjiang came back yesterday, he had already greeted them and asked them to come over for a drink tonight.

"Nannan, go and invite Uncle Yuanhe and Uncle Yuanjiang to come over for dinner." Su Yuanyang touched Su Yan's head.

Su Yan pulled Su Kai out of the door.

During the banquet, Su Yuanhe and the others really asked about the oysters, but Su Yuanyang was not as cold as answering the second daughter-in-law, only saying that the hard work is harder, and the money can still be earned, which is much better than the light on the ground before.

Su Yuanhe Su Yuanjiang thought of the hard work when he helped with those two days at the end of last year, and then looked at the thin faces of Su Yuanyang and Li Wanzhen, so he didn't continue the topic.

After paying off the money, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.

According to the old rules, you can't use the knife on the first day of the new year, and there are many things to be busy on Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to preparing the things needed for various customs on this day, you must also prepare food for the first day of the new year. The Su family started this morning, and after a simple breakfast, Su Yuanyang bleed a chicken and a duck respectively, and handed it over to Li Wanzhen to pluck and clean up, and he himself went to open the oysters on a small truncated cement pillar that he brought back by the way when he went to sea to inspect last night. Su Yan took Su Kai to watch the shrimp. The one pound of shrimp he bought that day, Su Yuanyang asked Li Wanzhen to get two to eat the next day, and the remaining two Su Yuanyang has been raising with seawater, and bought two more two two days ago and left them to eat today.

Li Wanzhen quickly disemboweled the chickens and ducks that had been taken off, processed them and cooked them in a pot of boiling water, and put the whole pork belly and a few eggs, and then took them out and put them on the plate separately.

He also loaded two plates of mugwort, two plates of candy, a small wine jug, and a small teapot, put them together in a basket, and went out with them.

These offerings need to be taken to the Bodhisattva temple at the head of the village to worship and worship, and after going to the Bodhisattva temple, they have to come back to exchange for new wine and tea, and then go to the local temple in the middle of the village to worship. After all these are done, they go home to carry out the ritual of worshiping their ancestors: ten dishes are placed on the table of the eight immortals, ten bowls full of rice, ten pairs of chopsticks, ten small wine cups are filled with wine, and ten small teacups are filled with tea, which are placed on the table of the eight immortals in turn. Wooden benches are placed around the table and the prayers begin. According to the rules, men and women come first, but the Su family does not pay attention to these, and the family knelt down and bowed to their ancestors, moved the dishes to the small table next to them and began to eat Chinese New Year's Eve.

At this time, there was no TV in the village, and it was still early after eating, and after washing, Li Wanzhen was responsible for boiling water and bathing Su Yan and Su Kai, while Su Yuanyang cut and put the vegetables to be eaten tomorrow and put them in the cabinet.

When Su Yuanyang and Li Wanzhen finished cleaning themselves, the family changed into new clothes, took out candy and put it on the table, and began to chat while keeping the New Year.

Su Yuanyang took out the gold ring that Li Wanzhen had been putting away and was reluctant to wear, put it on for himself and Li Wanzhen, and told her not to take it off after wearing it.

Li Wanzhen nodded, thinking of the previous days, and now that she has finally come to the end of her hardships, she couldn't help but feel emotional.

Su Yan has always been not interested in snacks, so she occasionally likes to eat candy, and she eats too much shrimp for dinner today, and she doesn't even want to eat sugar. Su Kai ate with a sticky mouth. In order to distract him, Su Yan had to take out the thread and play a game of picking elastic bands with him.

Su Yuanyang has been watching happily, seeing that his children are having fun, he can rest assured that he will talk to Li Wanzhen about inviting people to the farm after the year.

After some discussion, it was finally decided that the usual maintenance of two long-term workers is enough, the initial seedling planting, the later transfer to the deep water area and other heavy things to ask for short work, the mid-term to the cement column displacement is not in a hurry, then see the actual situation if you are too busy to invite someone.

"For a long time, please invite Aunt Hua's family Xingqun, right?" Su Yuanyang discussed with Li Wanzhen.

"Yes." Li Wanzhen nodded. Twist your eyebrows and think of another candidate.

Aunt Hua in Su Yuanyang's mouth, Su Yan usually calls him Grandma Hua, and she lives nearby. Speaking of which, her life is also very bitter, when she married when she was young and just gave birth to Su Xingqun, she also had no milk, the child was hungry and crying all day long, her husband secretly went down to the reservoir to touch the small fish and shrimp and came back to urge her to give her milk, but he knew that he didn't come up after he went...... Grandma Hua worked hard to pull Su Xingqun to grow up, but fortunately, Su Xingqun is also a filial son, and has been guarding a few acres of land at home and his mother, and has not gone out to work.

Su Xingqun is quite honest and reliable. Su Yan, who had been listening to her father's conversation with her ears pricked up, also nodded.

"The other one, please Chen Wenyu, right?" Li Wanzhen said. Chen Wenyu's situation is a bit similar to Su Xingqun's family, but his parents died in the early years, and he finally married his daughter-in-law in the past two years and gave birth to a big fat son last year, and he can't go far. The key is to also be honest.

Su Yuanyang and Su Yan nodded at the same time.

So the candidate was decided. After talking about the details such as the start of construction, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Su Yuanyang went to arrange the firecrackers that had been prepared before. After the firecrackers are set off, the New Year's Eve is completed and you can sleep.

The firecrackers at the beginning of the year symbolize the prosperity of the year, and usually the longer the firecrackers, the more festive they are. In previous years, when the family was poor, Su Yuanyang put a small string of them. This year, he prepared a long string and hung it high on a bamboo pole and circled it twice on the ground.

Su Yan covered her ears in the house and looked at the firecrackers jumping in the yard, the red confetti flying like blooming red flowers, and thus ushered in the Spring Festival in 1990......
