"Our forty catties of chestnuts today were sold for almost one or two dollars." Before Xie Mancang could speak, Li shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, Xie Yanqing and the others were stunned, forty catties of chestnuts, and then excluding the 2 catties of chestnuts that were tried for free, if they were sold for 18 yuan per catty, they could be sold for almost one or two pieces of silver, which was illogical.

"Don't think about it, today we were lucky enough to meet a noble man who spent a lot of money to buy our chestnuts, but this kind of thing is not very common. When we first started selling, as soon as we heard that 18 yuan a catty, many people didn't buy it, and waited for more than an hour to sell more than 20 catties, and then the rest were bought by that nobleman, otherwise we wouldn't necessarily sell out today. Xie Mancang immediately poured a basin of cold water on the Xie family, and it was not so easy to sell this thing.

"Dad, it's good that this thing can be sold, anyway, we all picked it in the mountains, and it took some effort and oil, salt and sugar to sell it for money, this is a good way." Xiao Li couldn't wait to say, in her opinion, this thing is quite profitable, but you have to catch it.

"Yes, it's always a way to make money, and we still have to do it. Dawei, Daguang, Dayong, the three of you wait to go down to the back mountain to pick more of this fruit, we will make fresh money this year, in fact, this method is also simple, someone should follow next year, and you won't make any money. Xie Mancang said that some people in the village saw that their family was selling this today, but they had to pick more in the morning and prepare it for the family.

As soon as the cuckoo flies by, in the blink of an eye, autumn is gone and winter has come. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, whether it is a poor family or a rich family, every family is happy to welcome the New Year.

This year, the Xie family can be said to be prosperous, this year's sugar-fried chestnuts can earn a lot of money for their family, and now, everyone in the Xie family is still excited and happy.

No one expected that it had only been sold for more than a month, and after removing the cost, they would be able to earn 21 taels of silver, and when they finally settled the accounts, they really shocked the Xie family.

Because the Xie family earns a lot of money this year, the Xie family's Chinese New Year's Eve dishes this year are very good, making the Xie family eat with a mouth full of oil.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen and Xie Dawei took their little sister to Xie Yanqing's grandmother's house, Xie Yanqing's second uncle and third uncle also accompanied their wives and their children to visit relatives, and Xie Yanqing and his eldest sister were asked to help receive a large number of people at home from the eldest aunt and younger sister-in-law.

At about eight or nine o'clock, Xie Ru, the sister-in-law of the Xie family, arrived with her 3-year-old son and one-year-old daughter.

Xie Ru married a family surnamed Liu in Stone Village, which is separated from Qinghe Village by 2 villages, and her family is still relatively well-off, and she does not have to worry about eating and drinking, and now she has a son and a daughter, and her status in the family is stable, and she is the kind of person who has a better life.

When the Li family saw Xie Ru, they naturally made love for a while, and asked Xie Ru to hold her one-year-old daughter to the Li family's room to talk to her, while her son-in-law and grandson naturally let Xie Mancang and Xie Yanqing accompany her.

Xie Yanqing took the little boy to play and listened to the small talk between his grandfather and uncle. Listening to their conversation, Xie Yanqing felt that his little uncle was a very honest person, asking and answering questions, and he would not find anything to talk about at all.

Not long after, Xie Xia, the aunt of the Xie family, also returned, and she brought back a large group of people.

Xie Yanqing's eldest uncle Chen Daming was holding a little girl, Xie Xia was holding a little boy, followed by two and a half boys.

Xie Xia gave birth to four children, three boys in the front and a girl in the back. The eldest Chen Zhi is 10 years old this year, the second Chen Lei is 8 years old this year, the third Chen Jie is 4 years old this year, and the daughter Chen Xiaoya is 1 and a half years old this year.

Compared with a lot of things brought by Xie Yanqing's sister-in-law's family, the Xie family's aunt brought relatively few things.

Because the Chen family has 5 brothers, a large family in the family, and they eat a lot, plus the mother-in-law of the Xie family was sick the year before last, and the annual medical expenses will cost a lot, so the life of the Xie family's aunt is not very good, and it is rare to see meat several times a year.

"The stones, they've grown so big, I can't even recognize my aunt." Xie Xia looked at Xie Yanqing and said with a smile on her face, Xie Yanqing is her father's heart and soul baby, she naturally has to treat it well.

"Auntie, uncle, I wish you gold in the cupboard in the New Year, good luck every day, a happy family, and happiness." Xie Yanqing also sweetly greeted the aunt and uncle of the Xie family.

"Stone, you're really a reader, you can really talk, I'll give you a big red envelope later." Xie Xiale's eyes narrowed, everyone wanted to have a good omen in the New Year. "Is your sister-in-law here?" Xie Xia asked again.

"My sister-in-law is here, and now she is talking to her in the house." Xie Yanqing replied.

"Okay, then you take your cousin and cousin to play, and I'll go find your milk." After Xie Xia finished speaking, she walked to Chen's room.
