In the first year, because the Wei family was poor, they didn't care what other people's families ate, so it would be good for them to have a pot of meat.

This time during the Chinese New Year, not only did the family have chicken and duck meat, but also specially asked Dabao to take sacrifices to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, and he also burned three piles of paper in front of the graves of the Wei family's parents.

On the second day of junior high school, the two sisters went back to their parents' house, and Wei Jin and Sihuaer made a big table of dishes, so that the two sisters could enjoy the treatment of their aunt and grandmother returning to their parents' house for the first time.

That night, the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law went back to live in their old house, while the second sister and second brother-in-law stayed.

After dinner, Wei Jin asked Xiaoya to invite her eldest brother-in-law over, closed the door and began to divide the money.

"You can't ask for this money, this is what you earned, and it will be left for you and Sihuaer as a dowry, and Dabao's study is also very expensive."

The kind-hearted sister of the eldest brother-in-law naturally understands that she went to the town before thanks to the help of the two brothers-in-law to settle down. Now that there is a fixed income intake, the distribution plan that was agreed earlier should be followed. There are no rules, it is precisely because of the benevolence and righteousness of the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law that it is even more important to settle the accounts clearly, and not to hurt the love between sisters because of these trivial things. ”

Wei Jin has said it here, and the two brothers-in-law can't refuse, but they have made it clear that this money is their daughter-in-law's private house, and they are in charge.

Wei Jin doesn't care who owns the money, she is only responsible for dividing what should be distributed.

The account book was taken out and flipped over, and the abacus was dialed, and it was clear who was more or less.

Although the second brother-in-law recognized a few words, the matter of settling accounts still made him a little big. However, the eldest brother-in-law was very interested in Wei Jin's account book.

Of course, it is not the amount of money she records that is of interest, but the method of keeping accounts.

In the old days, bookkeeping was a running account, but the method adopted by Wei Jin was born from the loan method, which was clear at a glance, and it was also very convenient to calculate, and there was no need to mark the foot of each page to know which step was missing.

The eldest brother-in-law pulled Wei Jin and asked in detail how to distinguish the account book loan, and the little tooth next to him also poked his head to listen to Wei Jin's explanation.

The second brother-in-law was not interested in this, so he was helping to repair things on the side.

The family stayed in the warm hall, there were a lot of them, and the feeling of being neat and tidy was really great.

In the early morning of the next day, there were many children who came to Wei's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Because the Wei family is gone, Wei Jin is the one who is in charge of the family. Although Erhua is an older sister, she is already married, and as an aunt, she can't accept other people's families to visit her in her mother's house.

Although she can't accept others to come to greet the New Year, it is her job to cook and help cook sweet soup.

There are all such rules here, people who come to pay New Year's greetings and bring things over, they will sit down and eat a bowl of sweet soup.

Most people in sweet soup are boiled with peanut-sized glutinous rice balls and starch sugar. Wei Jin's home materials are better, brown sugar, mash, finger-sized glutinous rice balls, after being put in a bowl, a few more sugar osmanthus flowers will be sprinkled on it.

Sugar osmanthus was made by Wei Jin with her sister.

There is an osmanthus tree next to the workshop in the town, and last autumn, she asked her sister-in-law's two younger brothers to help beat a lot of osmanthus flowers. After washing and drying, three jars were sealed with a layer of flowers and honey in a clay pot. One can was given to the mayor's wife, and the remaining two cans were kept for her own consumption.

The honey is wild honey that I went to the mountains and spent some money, but it was definitely worth it.

No, the sweet soup at the beginning of the year made the whole village envious, and there were aunts and sisters-in-law who came to ask for advice on how to make sugar osmanthus.

In fact, they are better in the countryside than in the city in that they can go up the mountain to dig honey without spending money, but they can't do it raw, and they are easy to be stung. The one who dug out the honey for Wei Jin before was an old woodcutter in the second brother-in-law's village, who had been digging out the honeycomb for decades, and was very familiar with the craft, but even then he was often stung.

In addition to sugar osmanthus, their glutinous rice balls are also better than others.

Speaking of this, I have to say that this glutinous rice ball is the first time Wei Jin has made it, and it uses the method of making Lantern Festival in the Jiangnan area, but it is not so big, and it is not all pure glutinous rice.

Even if it is second-class, it looks more beautiful than the balls rubbed out by other families, and it is not mushy soup when eaten.

"This Wei family Sanhua'er has really been a fortune boy since she woke up, you see, it's only been a year, how much people have earned."

"Don't talk about her family, isn't Zhang Laosan's family next door to her family also developed? I heard that their two sons can earn a lot by helping people deliver goods. It's better to be close to the neighborhood, and you can get ahead of any benefit. ”

"Cut, look at what you said." The eldest sister-in-law next to her sneered, "Look at everyone Zhang on the other side of her house, it's time to get closer, what is the result?" So, it doesn't matter if it's near or far, it's true that you can't do bad things as a person. ”

But no, although it was Zhang San next door who was the first to follow the Wei family, but who in the village helped the Wei family back then, who didn't enjoy the reward? The last time the workshop in the town recruited workers, so many people went to grab this job, and the old village chief arranged some of them, and some of them were not introduced by Sanhuaer of the Wei family.

"Besides, look at her big flower in-laws. Among the brothers, how are the five and sixth sisters-in-law doing well, and what is the current situation of those two who are used to squeezing big flowers? ”

When a group of people get together, they gossip. Anyway, there is no farm work during the Chinese New Year, isn't it a good time to walk around the west?

Women gossip, and men don't let it go.

It's just that their gossip is different, and everyone is staring at the Wei family's tea mountain.

With such a large area of the tea mountain, it is definitely impossible for the Wei sisters to do it themselves. Although two masters were hired to take care of it, other chores had to be done. They didn't say that they worked long hours in the Wei family, they thought that they could go to the Wei family to earn a few mouthfuls of food and drink money during the slack time, and they would be satisfied.

Wei Jin directly asked his eldest brother-in-law to do this, and gave him a 10% of the dry shares. In addition, the second brother-in-law also has a dry stock, which is for him to find someone to help him hunt some game and collect mountain treasures.

I am going to make tea, and the raw materials must be prepared a little earlier. Wild meat can be freshly hunted, and the mountain treasures have to be decided with others in advance.

Unlike their village, which is mainly farming, the second brother-in-law's village is half farming and half hunting.

While the young people were still worried about earning money for the coming year, several clan elders and the heads of the families in the village who could speak to each other discussed the matter of the Self-Defense Forces in the ancestral hall.

"It's not a small matter, can the town agree?"

"I don't know yet, but I asked Lao Wu to inquire about the news, saying that several villages and towns in the south have been prepared, and this news should not be false."

The peasants are afraid of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Seeing that the days were slowly getting better, they suddenly said that there might be a riot, and a few younger people suddenly couldn't hold their breath and looked at the old village chief in a panic.

"Don't worry, it's not certain if you can make trouble here." The elder of the second clan comforted, "But prepare in advance, even if something really happens, you won't be in a hurry." ”

There was a lot of discussion in the ancestral hall, and after a while, a few younger family members made a decision, and they planned to go to the south to find out the news in the name of delivery.

"It's okay, you can go down the river to Jianzhou. Jianzhou has always been a battleground for soldiers, and if something really happens, the news in Jianzhou will definitely be faster than other places. ”

The old village chief made a decision that he would not wait for the beginning of the year, and let people stock up after fifteen, and the old man of the five clans would take someone to Jianzhou in person.
