Here, Liu Jixiang also settled down, because he had money in his hand, so Liu Jixiang directly bought a small yard, as for his hometown, anyway, the house and land have been sold, and there was a flood in that place, even if the flood recedes, it will leave a lot of bacteria, it is estimated that it will not be safe in the past two years, so don't go back, this place is also very good, relatively prosperous.

As for Su Chen and Mrs. Su, they were also placed in the small courtyard with them, and everyone living together could also help each other.

Su Chen is a talent, and he has handed in books for so many years, and when his body is almost the same, he immediately went out to find a job, which is to be a teacher for others, and the remuneration is also very rich, 5 taels of silver a month, and there are some other offerings.

After Liu Jixiang knew, he was very envious, and said to Liu Ruyi: "See, this is the difference between reading a book and not reading a book, we haven't read a book, so we can only sell coolies, you see that people can make 5 taels of silver a month after reading a book, and it's so easy!" ”

Liu Ruyi nodded, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely study hard with Su Fuzi!" ”

After the placement is almost over, it will be the New Year in another month, even if this year is not good, Liu Jixiang is ready to spend the year, although pork is more expensive, but Liu Jixiang still gritted his teeth and bought more than 20 catties of meat, and at the same time bought dozens of catties of mutton and beef.

Mutton in this world can be bought casually, but this thing is more expensive, not rich people can't afford to eat mutton at all, as for beef, cattle are more expensive, and they can't be killed indiscriminately, but beef cattle can, and the price is only a little more expensive than pork.

Liu Jixiang used pork to make sausages and bacon, not only that, Liu Jixiang also bought fish and chicken, and also bought a lot of melon seeds and snacks.

In addition to these, Liu Jixiang bought a lot of quilts back, although they brought warm supplies when they came out, but after such a long time of use, and they were not washed and dried, so things have long become smelly and rotten, during this time they are all making do with it, and now that the conditions are good, those things naturally can no longer be used.

That night, the women hurriedly made a few quilts and covered them with warm quilts, and the family slept soundly.

In addition to quilts and clothes, there are some other daily necessities to buy, such as beds and tables and chairs, good ones can't be bought, but second-hand ones are still okay, they go to the pawnshop and buy a lot of these things, come back and scald them with boiling water, then smear them with a layer of vinegar, and finally put them in the sun to dry.

As for the dishes and chopsticks, Liu Jixiang really doesn't like to use second-hand things, so he doesn't need to buy new pots when he buys them, after all, he brought pots and pans when he came out.

After everything settled down, their first year in Tongcheng was coming, and everyone sat around the table eating dumplings, and their faces were beaming.

"Gee, this really is the best meal I've had in months!" Wanru touched her stomach and said happily.

Jin Feng is also very happy, she knows that she can live such a good life today, thanks to her sister-in-law, so she is very grateful, "Fool, thank you so much, I was ignorant and did a lot of wrong things before, don't worry, I will definitely correct it from now on!" ”

Liu Jixiang smiled, took out three red envelopes from his arms, and handed them to Jin Feng Wanru and Liu Ruyi, "Don't postpone it, this is also my heart!" ”

"Okay, since you gave it, I, as an elder, can't sit idly by!" After Mrs. Su finished speaking, she also took out five red envelopes from her arms, one for each person, "There is not much money, everyone should have an auspicious spirit!" ”

Liu Jixiang accepted the red envelope, to be honest, in their hometown, children who have passed the age of 12 can no longer accept red envelopes, because children who have passed the age of 12 are adults.

Liu Jixiang didn't receive too many red envelopes when he was a child, on the one hand, there were fewer relatives, and on the other hand, everyone was not rich, even if they gave red envelopes, but the money they gave was not much, basically two yuan or a few cents.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone sat on the side and began to watch the night, the vigil was naturally very boring, everyone began to tell stories, Liu Jixiang took out the story of Journey to the West and everyone listened attentively.

"The Great Sage is so powerful, I will also be the Great Sage in the future!"

"This Journey to the West is really good!" Su Chen nodded and praised him: "What I admire most is that although Tang Seng has no mana, he is a very determined person!" ”

"Oh, I like Guanyin Bodhisattva the most, I think Guanyin Bodhisattva is very merciful ......and compassionate," Wanru said with a grin.

"Zhu Bajie is really a pervert, he actually wants to tease Chang'e, and he deserves to be demoted to the mortal world!" Jin Feng said disgustedly.

…………

Everyone was talking, suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers outside, and knew that the time was up, this year their family did not buy firecrackers, after all, this thing is too expensive, a firecracker will cost a tael of silver, there is this money to buy meat to buy food is not fragrant?

Liu Jixiang yawned, since the time was up, everyone didn't sit in the lobby, and went back to their rooms to make up for sleep.

When I woke up on the second day, it was already noon, but today was the first day of the first month, and everyone had nothing to do.

After the evening, everyone began to sit around and listen to the story of Journey to the West, which is really worthy of the four famous novels, and everyone's soul was fascinated.

Liu Jixiang also likes Journey to the West very much, she remembers that when she was a child, she often sat around the TV to watch Journey to the West, and later the TV station often broadcast Journey to the West every summer.

After the fifth day of the first lunar month, Liu Jixiang began to think about making money, after all, although they have Su Chen to make money for others as a husband, but 5 taels of silver a month, he is embarrassed to take advantage of others and let others keep them.

Liu Jixiang still wants to make food, but now the bamboo shoots have not come out, and the eggs are expensive now, even if he makes the preserved eggs, if he can't sell them, it will be equivalent to smashing them in his own hands.

And Liu Jixiang is also afraid, after all, this same city is not their hometown, this can also be done in their hometown Tongcheng, it is a big town, there are many powerful people, what if I see her recipe and ask her to hand it over? I can't beat others, and if I really hand over the house, then I will really beat the chickens and eggs.

When Liu Jixiang began to visit the meat stall, he suddenly realized what he clapped his hands, and bought several pairs of pig offal that night, cleaned them, and then fried them with bean paste and spices, put the washed offal into them, and simmered them over medium heat.
