After eating, Tan Debao sent Tan Dejin and Qiduo home.

Qiduo asked with a smile, "Fourth uncle, do you often come to Brother Fang's house for dinner?" ”

Tan Debao's face turned red inexplicably, and he glared at her, "How do you know?" ”

This is an indirect acknowledgment.

Qiduo pouted a little proudly, "Hmph, I'm a fiery eye, I know it at a glance." ”

"Duo, it must have been Miss Tang who told you." Tan Dejin said with a smile.

"Of course not, Sister E won't tell me, hehe." Qiduo smiled ambiguously, and then changed the topic before Tan Debao's face turned red, "Fourth uncle, what about your dividends this year?" Shall we keep it for you, or will you take it yourself? ”

"What dividends I want, you can take them." As always, Debao waved his hand.

"Okay, I have to go back and calculate how much silver you have in total, Fourth Uncle, maybe you will marry Fourth Aunt next year, this is a lot of money." Qiduo laughed and quipped.

"Qiduo, you...... You're laughing at me again. Big brother, you also take care of your girl, what's the matter if it goes on like this, even the fourth uncle dares to laugh, no big or small. Tan Debao's face finally turned into a red cloth, knowing that he couldn't say seven, so he turned to Tan Dejin for help.

But the tone of his voice and the expression on his face are very different from the old-fashioned Tan Debao before.

"Fourth, you...... You've changed. Tan Dejin looked at Tan Debao who was joking and said in surprise.

"Ah, I've changed? Where has changed? Tan Debao asked hurriedly.

"Haha, your personality has changed, okay. This kind of fourth brother is what I want to see. Tedekin laughed heartily.

Tan Debao did not go to the army. Cheerful personality. Love to talk and laugh.

It was only after he came back from injury that his temperament changed greatly.

Now I see that he is slowly becoming more cheerful, and he is really happy for him as an older brother.

Tan Debao also smiled.

For his transformation, he knew that he couldn't do without the help of Qiduo.

If Qiduo hadn't asked Wen Xiuyi to remove the ugly scars on his face for him, he would still be shrunk in his shell like a turtle at this moment, not daring to straighten his back in front of others.

When the seven father and daughter returned home, Xu had already made a list of gifts and showed them to the father and daughter. Discuss adding or subtracting.

"You can discuss this matter with them." Tan Dejin smiled and handed the list to Qiduo.

He doesn't care about these things.

"If you don't look at it, aren't you worried that I will send everything at home to my parents' house?" Xu laughed and teased her husband.

"Hehe, only you are happy, whatever you want." Tan Dejin smiled honestly and affectionately.

"Hey, Dad, can't you say that, if my mother really sent everything to my grandfather's house, then what would we do?" Qiduo exclaimed deliberately on the side.

"Poof, you girl. Don't make a fuss. Xu nodded at Qiduo's forehead.

reconciled with his father, and the big stone that had been pressed on his heart for many years was removed. Naturally, her mood was particularly pleasant and comfortable.

The family laughed and laughed, and then set the gift list.

After the gift list is set, the next thing is to see what things are not at home, and you have to go to the market to buy.

In addition to purchasing, they also have to kill pigs, fish, make tofu, kill chickens and ducks, remove dust, etc., which is really enough for Qiduo and their family to be busy.

Last time, when Erxia got married, everyone in the family made new clothes, so it was a saving to make new clothes.

Without Erxia to do things, this person's hands obviously felt nervous, and everyone was like a clockwork top, busy all day long.

"Daddy, now that we're getting busier and busier at home and outside the house, why don't we buy two maids and mothers-in-law to come back and help us pulp clothes, clean and cook, we're so busy with other things." Seven Flowers Suggest.

"Yes, Daddy, if I had changed to someone else's house, I would have invited Yahuan a long time ago." Liuju is busy agreeing, the family is so busy at the moment that he is almost too busy to sleep.

Xu Shi and Tan Dejin glanced at each other and bowed their heads slightly, "Well, we also think that there are not enough people, okay, at the beginning of the year, we will go to the county to find a reliable tooth and buy two rough mothers-in-law to come back." ”

They only thought about finding someone to come back to help them with their work, but they didn't think about finding Yahuan to come back and serve them.

Qiduo and Liuju are good, this matter is settled, just waiting for the beginning of the year.

In the next few days, Tan Dejin took Changsheng and Liulang to the county seat to purchase New Year's goods according to the list on the gift list.

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Xu took seven flowers and six oranges to make tofu, and Changsheng helped to do some rough work such as grinding on the side.

The New Year's goods were almost completed, Tan Dejin went to the money bank to get the silver, and then went to Luhuapo with Qiduo to pay wages and year-end rewards for the workers.

The workers looked at the heavy red envelopes in their hands, and they were all overjoyed, and they couldn't believe that there would be such a heavy reward.

When they first came to Luhuapo at the beginning of the year, Qiduo said that if they did a good job, there would be additional rewards at the end of the year, but they didn't believe it, thinking that it was just Qiduo deliberately saying nice things to tease them in order to make them work more.

They have worked for the landlord's family before, and at the end of the year, they are kind landlords who do not deduct their wages, otherwise, not to mention any year-end bonuses, some people may have worked hard for a year, and finally did not get a penny, and went home crying empty-handed to go home for the New Year.

But now that the money was in their hands, it felt like a dream.

Some even quietly pinched the back of their hands.

Pain!

It's not a dream, it's true!

In the past year, the workers of the Qiduo family have deeply realized the kindness of the Qiduo family, and they are also very pleased that there is such a good owner, so that they can eat well, live well, and earn a lot of money. Now, with this year-end bonus, which is about the same as a year's salary, they finally believe that not all rich people in this world are the same.

I don't know who took the lead, the workers actually knelt down for Tan Dejin and Qiduo, "Thank you for the reward of the owner and the seven girls, I wish the owner your whole family good health, good luck, and a great fortune in the coming year!" ”

Although Tang Hu did not kneel, he also bent over and arched his hands, with a look of respect on his face.

The shock in his heart was far greater than that of the workers, and the corners of his eyes were a little cold.

It's the first time I've been so valued in all these years of doing things for people outside.

Fifty taels of silver!

If you farm at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to earn that much in my lifetime.

Qiduo was taken aback by the workers' actions. Hurriedly jumped aside. Waving his hand, "Uncles and brothers, I can't help it, you are tormenting me by doing this." Over the past year, everyone has worked hard, and this silver is our heart, and it is also what everyone deserves for a year's hard work.

It's just that this year is the first year on Luhuapo's side, and it has just started. Except for the initial investment, in fact, I didn't earn any money, so everyone's rewards were relatively small. But next year, I believe it will be much better than this year, as long as everyone shows this year's energy, I guarantee that by the end of next year, everyone will get more than that, and everyone will be able to have a fat year.

However, this reward is based on everyone's performance during this time, and I hope that everyone will work together next year to strive for everyone to get a high reward. Good no good? ”

"Good!" The workers responded with loud voices and high emotions.

"Hee-hee. Okay, then I'll continue to ask you next year. By the way, is there anyone who can't continue to come next year because of something at home? If so, please tell me first, I'm ready to recruit, okay? Qiduo continued with a smile.

Looking at Qiduo's smiling face, everyone felt very cordial.

In Luhuapo, no one doesn't want Qihua, they all say that she is kind and kind, and she has no shelf at all.

Workers, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all shook their heads, saying that they would continue to come next year.

"Okay, then we'll continue to work together next year. Money is important, compared with money, having a healthy body is the most important, so here, I would like to give you a greeting for the early years, I wish you good health, no taboos, and a better life next year, and please bring my blessings to your family. Thank you again and sincerely! After Qiduo smiled and gave everyone a New Year's greeting, he solemnly bent down and bowed to everyone as a sign of gratitude.

When Tan Dejin and Tan Debao met, they all followed her example and bowed to everyone.

"I can't do it." When the workers saw it, they were also shocked.

After the year-end bonus was issued, it was to discuss the issue of being on duty on Luhuapo's side after the holiday.

Tang Hu and Fang Zhongyou's two families both took this as their home, and the burden of duty fell on them. Although other workers also live here with their wives and children, they always return to their hometowns to reunite with their families during the Chinese New Year.

Although they said that they were willing to be on duty for free, Qiduo naturally would not lose them, just like in modern times, within ten days of the New Year's holiday, the wages of several of them were paid three times.

After everything is arranged, it is time to go to the fish pond to catch fish.

In addition to the year-end bonus, each worker was given an additional four fish, two chickens, two ducks and some fresh out-of-season vegetables.

In this way, there is almost no need to prepare the dishes for the New Year, and they are all ready.

It's just a pity that it's too cold, otherwise, Qiduo still wants to dig up some lotus roots for everyone to take back to taste.

Seven lotus roots in the lotus pond have not been dug according to the normal season, and they are still preparing to dig again at the beginning of spring next year.

After the New Year, the Qiduo family is ready to kill pigs again.

The wild boar cubs caught by Wen Xiuyi last time have now grown up and are ready to be slaughtered.

It's a pity that the pigs are going to be killed now, but Wen Xiuyi can't eat wild boar.

Fortunately, one of the female wild boars is now pregnant, and she can give birth next year, and she will give it to Wen Xiuyi when she grows up.

After the boar was killed, it was not sold.

Old Man Tan and the Shen family both have wild boars, and they are going to kill them this year, so this pork was not sent to the two of them.

The Xu family, the Kang family, the Yu family and Ge Fenglin, the four families, must be sent over, and the ancient county order is also ready to send a copy over.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Tan Dejin took Qiduo to send pork to the Xu family, the Kang family, Ge Fenglin and the Guxian order, but Tan Dejin of the Yu family had never been there, so he could only wait for her to bring it back when she came in the first month.

There are many Xu families, so they prepared half a wild boar to send over.

When he arrived at the door of Xu's house, he happened to meet Xu Youxuan's carriage, and he was about to send mutton to Qiduo's house.

This mutton is also rare in the south, Xu Youxuan's second brother bought sheep from the north and came back, and then invited someone to slaughter it.

"Xiao Qi, you came just in time, in addition to sending mutton over, someone also asked me to bring me something to you." Xu Youxuan blinked his eyes and smiled a little thief. (To be continued......)
