Chapter 102: The New Year is Coming
That afternoon, Mrs. Sawin took Vilia into town.
Hearing that Willy was going to take Vilia to the Baron's New Year's dinner, Mrs. Swaen directly made a budget for the costume of ten silver rums. Although she was also distressed, she also knew that she couldn't embarrass Willy because of Velia's dress. After all, the current Willy's identity is very different from the original, he is a big man with a head and a face in Diamond Town.
When Mrs. Sawin returned with Vilia in the evening, her face was full of smiles, brighter than the setting sun on the horizon.
Her mother, Mrs. Swain, personally selected a pure white winter dress with delicate lace and cut-out patterns, the most beautiful dress she had ever worn since birth.
She carefully placed her clothes at the head of her bed, and then uncharacteristically took the initiative to do the housework, learning to cook with Mrs. Swain.
Looking at Willia's performance, Willy's heart also felt an inexplicable warmth.
While Mrs. Sawin and Vilia were cooking, Willy chose to go out and take a walk around the tunzi.
The heavy snow had stopped by noon, but even with a little sunlight, it still couldn't melt half of the snow on the ground. No way, it's just too cold.
Willy's leather boots left a deep footprint in the snow, and as he walked, he looked at the houses along the Fandoutun Road.
As the New Year approached, the people hung out sun-dried pieces of meat, frozen bread, and some other food in front of their respective doors. This is a custom in the Diamond Township area, which means that people look forward to harvesting abundant food in the new year.
In some homes with children, snowmen are piled up in the yard, and the dough is placed directly in the hands of the snowman.
With the slanting sun on the horizon and the snow-covered reflective ground, Willy clearly felt the tranquility and simplicity of Fandoutun.
"Master Tun!"
Old Yoel and Arden, whose cheeks and nose were red from the cold, were on their way to their home when they met Willy halfway through.
Old Yoel grinned as he greeted Willy, baring his scorched teeth. As the New Year approached, he also felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
Not to mention the re-establishment of the divided village into a more affluent and vibrant Fandoutun, but thinking of the changes in his own family, Lao Yoel really felt the meaning of the word happiness.
Fandoutun changed the living conditions of the old Yol family.
Originally, when I was in the village, my family had to worry about how to survive. Fighting against pests, fighting hunger, having land that cannot be cultivated because of pests, living a heavy life almost every day.
Now, Joel Sr.'s son and daughter-in-law, Arden's parents, have been working in the fields, and they feel a sense of satisfaction as they watch the ripening beans and spotted snow roots.
Old Yoel himself acted as the big butler of Fandoutun, and many of the affairs in the tunzi were completed by him with the help of Lake. It can be said that he is now the most prestigious person in the tunzi except for the Willy family.
As for Arden, because he was valued by the Tun Chief, he was also respected by the other Tun people, he followed Old Yol all day long, whenever Willy had an order, he went to run errands, and when there was no order, he was commanded by Old York to work in Fandoutun in rotation. It's tiring, but it's grown a lot.
The old Yole family is the epitome of Fandoutun.
Even if he threw away Willy's [prestige] skill aura, he still gained the respect of the people from the bottom of his heart.
"I was looking for you. ”
Willy also took two steps forward.
"Master Tun, what do you command? ”
Old Joel said with a smile.
Arden behind him also nodded as if a chicken pecked rice.
"While the butcher shop is still closed, tomorrow you go to Diamond Town, buy some meat, and distribute it to the families in the tunzi. ”
Willy commanded: "As for how much to buy and how to distribute it, you can decide for yourself." ”
Now Fandoutun has a special financial income, which mainly comes from the deposit of the Divar family to buy Started Snow Root, and they gave a full 100 gold lum.
Of the 100 golden, 10% of them, or 10 golden, were handed over to Baron Kells. Baron Kells was quite merciful to Willy, charging only a 10% tax rate. In the entire Diamond Town, only Willy and Ole's tunzi have this treatment.
The remaining ninety percent, one percent of which is the remuneration of the tun residents, has been distributed to each family. The population of Fandoutun is not large, and these ten gold lums are distributed to everyone, which is also a lot of income for the common people.
As for the rest, sixty percent is the private property of the Fei Lun family, and twenty percent is used as the financial income of Fandoutun.
Now that the New Year is approaching, it is time to give full play to the role of this batch of fiscal revenues.
Appropriate welfare will be more able to unite the hearts of the residents and make them have a greater sense of belonging to Fandoutun.
"Don't worry, Tun Lord, I will definitely do it. ”
Old Joel's face was wrinkled with a smile.
He originally wanted to give this suggestion to Willy, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn't say it, but he didn't expect that now Tun Elder would take the initiative to speak. Willy's talent and kindness had earned him the respect of Joel the Elder.
"Let's go, I'll walk around the tunzi alone. ”
Willy waved his hand.
"Why don't I accompany you?"
Old Yol said.
Willy waved his hand, signaling no, he wanted to experience this simple and peaceful atmosphere by himself now.
For the next hour, Willy walked very slowly, staggering to the entrance of the tun, and seeing that the sky was already dark, he was ready to return home.
However, he had not taken two steps before he heard the sound of horses' hooves and a familiar voice calling his name.
"Vali!"
It was Thorpes' voice.
Willy looked back and saw Thorpes riding his horse with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Willy smiled and walked forward.
Thorpes grabbed the horse and jumped down.
"Why are you back?"
In fact, this is Willy's knowingly question.
As a pro-soldier newcomer, Thorpe is definitely unlikely to have a New Year's holiday this year. The reason for the return must be Sandor's operation. He is a nimble guy, so naturally it is impossible for the vice-captain's brother to work hard in the New Year.
"I approved the New Year's holiday for ten days, and I hurried back. ”
Thorpes also smiled and said that he did not feel inhibited because Willy became the boss of his boss, and in the face of Willy, he was still the same big brother as before.
"Go back quickly, and my father and mother will be very happy to know that you are back!"
Villitathorpes moved his horse and headed home.
