In the hall, when Chang showed the old couple the rice and noodles they got back this month and the wine, tea, meat and vegetables needed for the New Year, the old man Song asked about Song Tian's knowledge.

Three years have passed, the old man Song and Hong's body is a lot worse, the two have no more farming, at the beginning of the year the field in their hands was divided into the big house and the third room, and now they rely on the three sons to support.

It is said to be a offering, which is basically a second room in the raising.

Look at the rice noodles brought back, let alone a month, the two old ones are enough to eat for two months.

Song Ercai will come back once a month, and he will bring about the same amount every time, and the appearance of the old couple has not changed much, but the three rooms are fat-headed and big-eared.

Since Song Hong left home that year, she has never come back in the past few years.

The big house has a son who is missing, and his temperament has long been small, and Song Ming has warned them not to be greedy, but it has changed a lot in recent years, and from time to time they will help the old couple cook and care.

As for Sanfang, Song Sancai and the Wang family have that temperament, they don't have a lot of big ideas, and they have a lot of small ideas.

In addition, the Wang family gave birth to a little son, and in the past few years, he has either been on a big belly or taking care of the child, and he has stopped doing the work in the field, and he has been revolving around the child every day. I am choking enough, and I can manage others, and I originally wanted to find a second room for an errand, but it was no problem.

Song Sancai and Song Dacai are still working in the medicine garden in Hukou Mountain, so Song Dacai won't mention it, it is impossible to find some changes in him.

Song Sancai found an opportunity the year before last, and took advantage of the gap between the resignation of the former steward and stuffed Zhang Chao in the town with a few taels of silver and invited a table, and now he is already a small steward in the medicine garden.

Of course, Zhang Chao's line was built by Song Ercai, and the red envelopes of a few taels of silver were also given by Song Ercai, and Song Sancai also went to accompany a few glasses of wine, so he got a steward.

Now his work in the medicine garden is easy, and the family can still get some rice, noodles, meat and vegetables on the second room from time to time, and his life is not as happy as before, so he no longer thinks about going to Buzhuang.

In Song Sancai's opinion, the two-bedroom shop is okay, but it is still much worse than a rich family like the He family.

After all, there is no big mansion in the second room, and the one acre and three points of land in the town are guarded, and no one has seen any recruitment in the past two years, so there seems to be no development, so it is better to follow the He family to do some insurance.

Song Sancai rested his thoughts about going to town, and Song Ercai spent some money to save trouble, and he was happy to relax.

The group sat down in the hall, and when Old Man Song heard that Song Tian had taken the exam, he nodded with a smile and happily picked up the cigarette stick.

This person, as he gets older, his thinking will change to a greater or lesser extent.

Song Tian did well in the exam, seeing that he was going to end next year, Mr. Song was naturally happy, but he didn't have the passion he had originally, it was a good thing to be admitted, and it didn't matter if he didn't pass the exam, the second room is now opening a shop in the town, and his life is good, and it's also very good.

At noon, the family had a reunion dinner, after which the men went out for a walk, and the women continued to prepare the dinner for the evening.

The second room is the same as ever, I will stay here for one night, and I will return to the town tomorrow after the New Year.

In the past, there were many people who came back to the door of the second room, wanting to inquire about the situation and ask for an errand or something, in recent years, the embroidery workshop in the town has been saturated, and people can't add it.

After lunch on the first day of junior high school, Song Ercai returned with his wife and children.

Back in the town, Chang invited the long-term workers who stayed, the people in the courtyard, and the Lu Bao family next door, and they got together in the evening to have a New Year's dinner.

In this way, the year is over, and everyone has a good rest in the next few days, and work has to start on the eighth day of the new year.

That night, the people who ate the banquet left, and the people cleaned up the hall, Song Er and Ah Xiu sat at the round table, and began the annual routine of showing Ah Xiu the account book.

Qian Song Ercai didn't take it anymore, because he knew that Ah Xiu didn't want it, but he exchanged the silver he got from Steward Yang today for a ticket and put it in front of Ah Xiu.

Since Su Ming opened an embroidery workshop, Song Ercai will meet with the shopkeeper Yang in Cao's Mansion when the monthly delivery is made, and the silver Yang shopkeeper who will be born from Cao's Mansion will keep 20% for the expenses of the new embroidery workshop, and the rest will be handed over to Song Ercai to bring back to Ah Xiu.

At that time, Ah Xiu wanted to settle the accounts with this side, but Song Er didn't let him.

The money earned by the yarn made Song Ercai feel like he was dreaming, how could he eat it all in one bite, the production of the new embroidery workshop was Ah Xiu's own, and every time he exchanged the money into a silver ticket and handed it to her, it was her business how she liked to deal with it.

Song Ercai explained that Ah Xiu accepted it after thinking about it, and he had also saved a lot of private money in the past few years.

After calculating the accounts of the whole year, Song Er put the abacus away, wrote the last line on the account book, and then pushed it to Ah Xiu.

After deducting this year's expenses and income, there are more than 60,000 silver left.

A small cloth village and a few embroidery workshops have earned tens of thousands of taels of silver in a few years, a figure that outsiders dare not imagine.

Ah Xiu roughly flipped through the account book, and then whispered: "Dad, I've thought about it these days, it's time for business, let's go to Linjiang to buy a house next year." The idea of coming out back then was also helpless, but now that we have the foundation, it's time to fight with those people. ”

Linjiang, after walking for so many years, sooner or later I have to go back.

Song Ercai looked sideways, looked at the little girl and said, "Have you thought about it?" ”

This small place can't keep her, Song Er only knew it early in the morning.

In the past few years, the money has been earned, and Song Er has not bought land or land, and he is thinking about this day.

Even if she doesn't leave, her son will have to conduct scientific research, and they won't be able to stay in this small place after all.

"Dad, when I discussed the follow-up development with Master Cao, the sand road is only one aspect, and we have also considered the sea route, but there is no way for Master Cao to go to sea, and the area south of the Yangtze River is just in the sea area.

However, if our goods really want to go to those places, it is impossible not to be known by those big merchants.

It's better to let go and open the market, with our current strength, it is still possible to gain a firm foothold. ”

Not to mention standing firm, the real Zhuojia acupuncture method is unmatched.

The little girl was sure, and Song Er looked at her quietly for a while, until Ah Xiu felt a little uncomfortable, and then nodded and said:

"To be honest, Dad doesn't know much about this.

You also know that I used to be just a pharmacy shopkeeper, and I still have to be this kind of rural town.

Behind our house opened a cloth village, opened an embroidery workshop, I also assume the responsibility of the steward and shopkeeper, to talk about the future development, as well as the outside situation, for me is completely unknown. ”

"Dad listens to you in business, but what are your plans to take the subject exam?"

Song Ercai is not a greedy person, even if he doesn't do the business at hand now, he has no opinion, but as long as Ah Xiu wants to, he will also try to move forward together, but compared with business, he still cares more about his son's studies.
