After distributing the silver and red envelopes, Kang Damao stood in the crowd and announced loudly: "In the evening, I booked a reunion dinner with everyone in the Eight Immortal Building, lively and lively, the porcelain shop will be closed from today, and they will come to the house tomorrow morning to help clean up. ”

After Kang Damao finished speaking, he waved his hand, everyone cheered, everyone waited for this day for too long, looking at the new clothes in their hands, touching the heavy silver in their arms, they had confidence in their hearts, these years have to go home for the New Year this year to have face.

In the hall on the first floor of the Eight Immortals Building at night, there are four Eight Immortal Tables, and the tables are surrounded by dozens of people up and down the Kang Mansion.

Kang Damao took the lead in raising a glass, he stood up and said loudly: "I Kang Damao just one word, as long as you follow me steadfastly, I will let everyone have dignity, go home for the New Year and have face, I firmly believe that our life will get better and better in the future, come, cheers!" ”

After saying that, Kang Damao raised his wine glass and drank it all, and everyone else followed Kang Damao to dry the wine in the cup in his hand, and even the maids who didn't drink a drop of wine on weekdays also drank a glass happily, and they frowned as soon as they finished drinking, and the next moment, they burst out laughing, spicy in their mouths and warm in their hearts.

In this era, a woman can support a whole family by her own ability, which makes them feel their importance, there is no discrimination, no oppression and abuse in Kangfu, everyone is happy, and it is really like a home here.

"Long live the boss! Long live the boss! ”

"Long live the owner! Long live the owner! ”

I don't know who shouted, and the rest of the people in Kang Mansion shouted loudly, which made Kang Damao a little embarrassed, and he immediately beckoned everyone to sit down, should eat, drink, and have fun tonight.

Ah Bao and Erhu sat next to each other, talking about the relationship, the two of them should be good buddies now, of course, Ah Bao also knows in his heart that Erhu is the boss's descendant, and now he Abao can mix with the current status It all depends on the boss's appreciation, from the beginning of the ordinary family was almost driven away, to the later senior family, and then to follow the boss to the north and south, and finally promoted to the acting shopkeeper of the porcelain shop in Zhenjiang Mansion, all of which has gradually narrowed the status of him and Erhu in the Kang family.

The two of them are almost on the same level now, this time Abao's reward is the most in addition to Xiaohua, he and Erhu and Xiaolong, more than ten times and twenty times more than those maids, this time the silver in hand is more than what he earned in the previous ten years, Abao was happy and drank several glasses with Erhu.

"Boss, it's still the same sentence at the beginning, I'm sure you, even if you drive me away, I won't leave, and the boss will eat meat and I will drink soup in the future, hehe!" Abao stood up with his wine glass and said, smirking a few times after speaking.

"You drink soup? Fuck you, do you think Lao Tzu doesn't know, the nutrition is in the soup! Kang Damao stood up and said with a smile, and after speaking, he deliberately raised his foot to kick Abao's ass.

"Huh! Okay, then I'll eat meat. Abao pretended to be aggrieved and said.

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and the entire hall of the Eight Immortals Building was full of joy, full of cheerful and lively atmosphere.

The next morning, everyone was busy in Kangfu in an orderly manner, and everyone tacitly agreed not to wear the new clothes issued yesterday, they all put away their clothes and changed into the usual clothes of the housekeepers.

Winter is a depressed scene, but Kang Fuzhong is the opposite, because there are many evergreen trees and plum blossoms that bloom in winter, making the whole house full of life both in the garden and in the courtyard.

Kang Damao also asked people to plant dozens of evergreen trees and some evergreen low shrubs in several courtyards, and Kangfu was even more beautiful, except for the hot breath that came out of his mouth from time to time, it almost made people think that it was spring.

The New Year's cleaning officially began, and the family members carefully filled up all the missing tiles piece by piece, shoveled all the places where the wall skin had fallen off, and brushed them all with milky white paint, and repainted the pillars in the courtyard with vermilion paint, and some special places were painted with gold paint.

For a time, Kangfu white paint, vermilion paint, gold paint, three colors echo each other. Kang Damao did it himself, he took the family to be busy, and after the paint was brushed, their faces were either red paint, white paint and gold paint, colorful, and looked a little funny.

Especially on Kang Damao's face, at this time, it was red, white and yellow, just like the face painted on the face of a big opera, where is there still a little bit of the boss's appearance, the family, you look at me, I look at you, they all laughed.

The men are painting, repairing the walls, and planting trees, while the women are pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns, and they are busy laughing and laughing, each with a happy smile on their faces, as if they are decorating their own home.

It wasn't until the afternoon that it was finally busy, and the whole Kangfu took on a new look, and the Kangfu was lit up inside and out, beaming with joy. The maids and maids changed into new clothes after washing, and left Kangfu with the packages they had prepared long ago, and they were reluctant to leave Kangfu and rush home, fortunately, these people were originally people near Yaowan Town, and they could rush to their homes to reunite with their families before dark.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Kang Mansion seemed a little deserted, even the kitchen cooks and handymen went home to visit relatives on vacation, Xiaohua and An's mother could only cook by themselves, Xiaohua had already made a good dish, but since taking care of the Kang family's business, there was no time to cook, and now it was just time to show their skills, Abao, Erhu and Linglong were also helping in the kitchen.

In the evening, Xiaohua's mother and daughter made a table of delicious dishes, and put the table in the courtyard outside the hall, fortunately, there are houses and walls all around, and the cold wind can't blow in. Who will knock on the door at this time?

Abao ran over to open the door, and it was Hua Shao who came in, followed by Gege and the little prince, could it be that Hua Shao took Gege and the little prince over to eat.

As soon as he saw the arrival of the three distinguished guests, Kang Damao immediately led everyone to get up to greet him.

"Rare guest! Rare guests! How do you guys? Kang Damao asked with some doubts, he thought that the three masters with status in the Chinese New Year's Eve should go to the big restaurant to eat mountain and sea delicacies.

"Brother Mao, you can't be true, last time you said that we would come to your house for the New Year, and you said that there were many people, why did you forget it so quickly, or are you afraid that I will drink your family's good wine?" Hua Shao deliberately laughed and teased.

"Brother Hua, don't squeeze me, there is good wine, as the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come by chance, we haven't moved the chopsticks yet, Gege, little prince, please take a seat." Kang Damao said and beckoned the three of them to sit down.

Xiaohua was also very eye-catching, and immediately got up and added three pairs of chopsticks, Hua Shao stared at Xiaohua and then turned his head to look at Kang Damao and smiled, this smile looked a little cheap.

"What are you laughing at?" Mu Qin Gege turned his head with a calm face and asked.

"Huh? It's nothing, but a funny thing suddenly comes to mind. Hua Shao was a little stunned by the question.

This Hua Shao is a very shrewd person on weekdays, and he is also good at the world, but in front of Mu Qingege, he is immediately much more honest, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Seeing Hua Shao's deflated appearance, this time it was Kang Damao's turn to laugh on the side.

"What are you laughing at?" Mu Qingge turned his head in confusion and asked Kang Damao.

"Huh? It's nothing, just suddenly, I thought of a funny thing. Kang Damao was stunned for a moment and stammered.

"What the hell is funny, say it and let everyone hear it." Mu Qin Gege asked curiously.

"Say! This prince also wants to hear it. The little prince asked curiously while holding his chin with one hand.

Kang Damao saw that these two were so persistent, and he really couldn't think of anything funny for a while, just now he just followed Hua Shao and said it casually, since this guy said it first and thought of funny things, it is estimated that he should really be like this, thinking like this, Kang Damao looked at Hua Shao and said: "Brother Hua, I think we should think of the same thing, or you can talk about it." ”

"Ahem! Cough! Hua Shaogang raised the bowl and drank the wine in his mouth almost squirted out, he coughed twice in embarrassment, and saw that a table of people were looking at him, he was a little speechless, it seems that this pot has to be carried by himself in the end.
