Chapter 68: Chinese New Year, Bai Rongrong is absent
On the day of Xue Shanjing's marriage, the health manual that Xue Langjing had purchased in the pharmacy was once again put to use.
However, this time there is a big brother-in-law, so naturally she is not needed to 'secretly' explain the matter.
She didn't treat Xue Shanjing's family affairs differently, what kind of pomp and circumstance the eldest sister gave when she got married, and what kind of treatment the second sister gave, no worse than her.
Who doesn't have a comparison mentality, after seeing that the money for the things that Xiaoba prepared for his daughter was no worse than that of the eldest girl in the second room, Xue Yuhai and his wife were more grateful and recognized by her in their hearts.
The cost of this wedding can be said to be absolutely rare in this Zhaojia Village. For such a row, Xue Yuhai and his wife are naturally very satisfied, especially the Shen family, who laughed and couldn't see his teeth, and earned enough face on the day of his daughter's marriage. Especially in front of those mother's family members who rushed to fight the autumn breeze after hearing the news, she straightened her waist and listened to the flattery of her mother's family, which made her feel like she was returning home.
Not long after Xue Shanjing's family affair ended, there were only a few days left before the New Year.
The Xue family has just made a big purchase for their granddaughter's marriage, and in the blink of an eye, they are going to buy New Year's goods again for the New Year.
The Xue family's New Year's goods this year are really rich, all kinds of prey brought back by Xue Langjing from the mountains, bacon, bacon, dried meat, dried fruits and vegetables, not to mention, she also gave three taels of silver for the sisters to take their grandmothers, aunts and mothers to the town to buy a lot.
Although Xue Grandma felt sorry for the silver, she couldn't stand the task that her granddaughters received Xue Langjing's request to spend three taels of silver, coupled with the attraction of the dazzling array of New Year's goods put out by the small vendors in the town because the New Year was approaching, and finally the three taels of silver would be spent, and the purchased New Year's goods filled the ox cart they took, and only Xue Milk could barely sit down on the return trip, and the others happily followed the ox cart.
It is conceivable that this big year will definitely be the most abundant harvest year that the Xue family has had over the years.
Approaching the end of the year, Xue Langjing also specially gave the members of the hunting team seven days of annual leave, or with the annual leave of salary, and said something to encourage everyone to go home for a good New Year, and continue to participate in the hunting team with more passion in the coming year.
If you can't hunt at home, you can still get paid, and you can get it for seven days, such a good welfare naturally makes the team members cheer, and they thank the Xue family again and again for their generosity.
Today, their wages are not low, and the basic salary of each full member is almost close to the sum of the basic salary plus bonuses during the previous probationary period.
Except for the members of the hunting team, everyone else has earned a lot of money with the hunting team this year, presumably this year will definitely not be bad, and the life at home will be much better than in the past.
And before they left, they not only collected the wages settled in advance the year before, but each of them also received a lot of New Year's goods from the Xue family. These New Year's goods, especially preserved fruits and meat, have to be put aside in their own homes, and they are absolutely reluctant to buy them.
Even they are like this, let alone the Xue family.
This year, the Xue family has a good time, not to mention the rich New Year's goods, and the happy events in the family have only passed not long ago, and because the Xue family has also opened a school, although it is a school that is not very formal in its own house, it has recruited a lot of students and taught many people to read and learn words.
Not to mention the excitement of the past few days, there are only a lot more people coming and going in the house after the new year.
At the beginning of the Spring Festival, many students were led by their families to bring a lot of Lilly to the Xue family to worship the New Year, although the farmer's gift will not be valuable, but it also expresses their hearts, and the number of rituals is enough.
It was the first time that the Xue family had encountered so many people coming to pay New Year's greetings, and the attitude of the students who came was so respectful, which also made Jiang Qianyue, the teacher who taught it, receive a lot of gifts from the students.
In previous years, it was impossible for such a grand occasion to appear in the Xue family, even if their eldest grandson Xue Boqing was still there, there would indeed be many people who would come to pay New Year's greetings, but the Xue family's elders knew that these people were just here to take advantage.
Xue Boqing is a serious reader, as the elders of the reader, someone can't lose the etiquette when someone comes to pay New Year's greetings, whether they want to or not, at least the superficial work has to be done.
Every time the Chinese New Year comes, the Xue family has to consume a lot of money on this alone, and these people who come to take advantage of it are unlikely to bring any decent gifts, for the Xue family, they really only have to go out and not go in.
But for these students who have given gifts and made enough gifts, the Xue family is willing to give gifts even if they want to give them back, and they have the common feeling of returning people, so that they wish that more people would come to pay New Year's greetings.
As for those who came to take advantage, the current Xue family doesn't need to talk about those Lao Shizi false courtesies, they are pursuing real courtesy exchanges. How many things do you bring, how many gifts I will give back, if you come empty-handed, then I will also let you go home empty-handed, at most give melon seeds and peanuts or something, how much is considered a return gift?
Taking advantage of the New Year, Xue Langjing, who had been running back and forth between the wild forest, the town, and his home in the previous year, and Xue Langjing, who had been busy for almost the whole year, also rested at home for a few days, and also made new plans for the new year.
After the year, on the last day of the holiday, that is, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, the team members who spent the New Year at home returned to the hunting team one after another.
Now there are sixteen members of the hunting team, and two of them live in one room, which just fills the old mansion of the Xue family, including the original Xue Langjing's study has also been reconverted into a bedroom, which can accommodate so many people.
Thirteen of them are full members of the hunting team, and the other three are currently on probation.
In the future, if the number of hunters continues to increase, the old mansion will not be able to live and live with the Xue family.
After each team member came back, they all went to the Xue family's new house to say hello to Xue Langjing, which was regarded as a report.
According to statistics, that night, Xue Langjing found that everyone else in the team had come to greet him, but the eldest Bai Rongrong never appeared.
She deliberately went to the old mansion to ask, and found that everyone was also puzzled, usually Sister Bai belonged to the most stable in the team, as long as she could catch up, she would rush over, there was no reason why she hadn't come so late.
But everyone didn't pay much attention to it, since the person didn't come, it must be something necessary at home for her to delay, she is a steady person, she will not be absent for no reason, and if there is any problem, she will definitely ask someone to say hello.
Xue Langjing almost thought so, and waited in the old house for a while, and when it was dark, the people didn't come, so they went back first.
Early in the morning of the second day, after everyone finished exercising and eating, they didn't see anyone, Xue Langjing and the team waited for a while, but Bai Rongrong still didn't show up.
But the hunting team can't delay the hunt just because of waiting for her alone, Xue Langjing only asked the family to pay attention to the situation in the old mansion, and then led the team to set off.
