068 One less person on the chair at the table
Jiang Yi spent the whole day in doubt, and the main facts of this morning were incredible.
The people of the Deng family came over early in the morning, which was what she expected, so she asked Brother Ma and Chen Zhi to guard the alley very early.
And so the thieves did.
It's okay for this group of slaves to bully people in normal times, but in the face of more than a dozen big men, it is naturally not enough to see, so they are beaten to the ground.
The appearance of Wang Zhutou was also expected by her, after all, the fight of dozens of people would definitely attract the attention of the government.
In ancient times, there were no administrative officials at the town level, but many large towns also needed people to maintain law and order, so they would arrange a team of errand officers to manage them.
This Wang Zhutou is the resident catcher of Lin Feng Town, and there are more than a dozen people under him, who usually maintain law and order in the town.
With the power of the Deng family, this Wang Zhutou will definitely favor the Deng family more, after all, they are old squires, and they must be a little tired of interacting.
She was originally not afraid, because she now has money and people, and she is not a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch casually.
Besides, what if someone knew that Deng Xiaojin was pushed down by his own people? Everyone knows it; The rocks and clods that slammed him to death were thrown by the townspeople who had been bullied by the scum of the world.
So even if you see an official, this lawsuit has to be fought.
What she didn't expect was to beat the people of the Deng family, but it was calm, and Wang Zhutou didn't even come over to ask.
In the next few days, no one from the government came to look for him, and the Deng family was still calm.
At this time, there are only a few days before the New Year, Jiang Yi simply doesn't think about it, let's talk about the New Year first.
Even if the Deng family has a backhand, when the soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth, this group of people under his command will have to buy their hearts.
So she got busy again.
The year-end settlement is largely completed, followed by the preparation of New Year's gifts and the distribution of bonuses.
She had promised before, and she would give it a lot.
Things and money are distributed in the twenty-fifth year
A lot of pastries, a lot of cloth, and twenty or thirty chickens were placed in the yard of the car shop, and Jiang Yi personally gave each person a box of pastries, a piece of cloth and a chicken.
The pastries are very sweet, take them home and give them to the elderly and children to taste, they must be happy.
The cloth is a relatively cheap coarse cloth, but the coarse cloth is wear-resistant, and a piece of cloth can be added with some cotton to make a piece of clothing for the elderly and children.
There is also a big fat chicken of five or six catties, which are all real benefits.
The most important thing is the double salary at the end of the year, most of them get 600 copper at a time, all of them are grateful and happy, many people have tears coming out, and even many people kneel on the spot to thank their spouses for their great kindness.
This money can make the family have a more relaxed, richer and happier New Year.
After sending things, Jiang Yi announced that she would have a holiday on the twenty-eighth day of the year, and she would go to work on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, all of which were paid holidays, and her salary in January next year would be a lot.
And there will be a red envelope for those who come back to work.
This made another group of people cheer.
Next, it's time to settle the bill.
At this time a year ago, the two pigs in the village were sold, and the ducks and chickens were also sold in addition to the hens and ducks and their own New Year's food.
There is also fish, lotus root, and there is also an income.
The main source of income comes from sweet potatoes.
Bu Shuigui left 5,000 catties of sweet potato seeds, and the price of 18 copper and 1 catty was sold in only three or four days.
Excluding some losses, the income is thirty-eight taels.
In particular, the villagers of Bujia Village have tasted the taste of sweet potatoes, and they have learned that this thing is easy to grow, so every household plans to plant sweet potatoes on the dry land of their families in the spring of next year.
Now the book is very good-looking, and this year's annual income has reached more than 200 taels.
These are still cash in hand, and those who buy cattle, build cars, wages, and rent are all not included.
Jiang Yi thought to herself; This amount of money should be able to rank second in the village, maybe first, right?
It's a pity that I can't go to the Shen family and ask them how much money they have, hehe.
Chinese New Year's Eve is a family's food in the village.
Usually living in the town is to take care of business, and I will definitely go home for the New Year.
When it was dark, everyone sat together, Bu Shuigui and his wife, Bu Ru and his wife, Chen Zhili and Erniang's mother and son, plus Bu You.
Seven people, divided into two tables, the dishes are exactly the same, Erniang still insists on not sitting with the owner to eat together, although even Bu Shuigui also strongly invited to sit together.
Even though there were two tables, everyone was still happy and happy, and this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was more lively than last year.
It's a pity that one person is missing.
"Jiang Zhen loves to eat stuffed tofu made by his mother, one bite at a time, it's amazing, hahaha." When Bu Ru picked up a stuffed tofu, he laughed casually.
Chen Zhi took over and said; "He also loves to eat the braised fish made by my mother, and he can eat three bowls of fish every time."
Jiang Yi was really picking up the rice at that time, and the tears of the bean suddenly flowed.
Where is my brother now? Can you eat and clothe yourself? He must think about himself during the Chinese New Year, right?
When everyone saw it, they didn't dare to speak anymore for a moment, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was much colder.
Bu Ru knew that he had said the wrong thing, and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere.
"Ouch, it's eating, it's such a coincidence." At this moment, a figure flashed outside the door, and when he entered the door, he stood at the table with a smile.
The person who came was a step repair.
"Why are you here when you don't eat at home so late?" The step-mother saw that it was her eldest son and asked.
Buxiu stared at the dish on the table, swallowed his saliva and sneered; "Oh, I'll come over and buy some...... Vinegar, oh yes, just buy some vinegar. ”
Bu Mu's ears were sharp, and when she heard that there were still people outside, she tilted her head to look out of the door, but saw that Qi was also there, and she was still holding the little boy in her arms.
"Buying vinegar for a family of three?"
Step Xiu smiled hehehe.
"Lou Gu, come in." The stepmother beckoned to the child, her grandson.
Qi put the person down, and the child staggered in.
He is Bu Xiu's son Bu Hua Lou.
This little guy will be four years old after the New Year, and he looks like a tiger, and he is very cute, after all, the three brothers of the Bu family are not ugly.
He was very well-behaved, and when he saw someone, he first called his grandfather and grandmother in a milky voice, and then called his uncle and aunt.
Bu Ru happily answered him.
Bu Shuigui didn't want to pay attention to Bu Xiu, but when he saw his grandson, he immediately smiled and sandwiched a piece of chicken breast to tease him; "Lou Gu, do you want to eat?"
"Yes!" The child replied crisply.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Bu Shuigui touched his little belly and said affectionately.
Bu Hualou giggled; "No, my mother said that there is no rice at home to cook and eat."
While talking, he was held in his grandmother's arms, he was not polite, eating the rice fed by his grandmother, and said happily while chewing chicken.
Bu Shuigui's face suddenly fell.
