If you have money or not, go home for the New Year.

In the white expanse all around, Tong Dacai rode on the back of a cow alone, shrunk his neck, copied his hands, and walked on the snow slowly, leaving deep cow marks on the snow.

When it was almost dark, there was a village in front of him, not far from Baishui Town, Tong Dacai was very excited, he went out for almost three months, the donkey did not learn to ride, but the ox rode very steadily.

When Tong Dacai trembled and led the cow to Yipinlou, everyone's jaws were shocked.

"Brother Dacai, you can be regarded as coming back, if you don't come back, your father will go to Pingyao to find you." Guy Zhao Changhe patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Tong Dacai didn't want to speak, so he put the cow rope directly in his hand, went into the house and drank a bowl of liquor by himself, and burned the knife into his stomach, and his stiff limbs were stretched, and he felt that he had finally come back to life.

The shopkeeper Tong got the letter, went straight to the front hall from the backyard, and by the light, looked at the unkempt, unkempt, and sloppy people in front of him, and almost didn't recognize them.

"You stinky boy, Lao Tzu is still dead outside, ready to collect your body." Shopkeeper Tong punched him in the chest.

Tong Dacai already had bad legs and feet, so he was coldly beaten, stumbled, and almost fell.

"Dad, what are you doing, I got a cow from afar and drove it back, there is no merit and hard work, you don't say go and prepare some good wine and food to treat your son." Tong Dacai said with a hippie smile.

The shopkeeper Tong noticed that there was a cow tied to the door, and said secretly: This kid is really making a cow, it seems that he has a good fortune this year.

Lin Mei was about to go home, and when she saw a live cow, she was already dumbfounded, and pointed to the cow with a smile and asked, "I asked you to get some beef, why did you just buy a live cow and come back?" ”

"It's freezing this day, I'm afraid that before the people arrive, the meat will be eaten up by me first, so I just buy a live cow and ride it back, and save the silver for the carriage."

Lin Mei knew that on such a cold day, she would definitely not be able to eat well when she went out, so she asked the kitchen to quickly get a mutton pot and let him eat a hot meal.

"Master, the cow?" The shopkeeper pointed to the cow outside the door, not knowing what to do.

In fact, Lin Mei had already slandered her, otherwise she wouldn't have let people come all the way back to get some beef.

"It's too late today, let's take it to the backyard first, tomorrow's young year, then I will slaughter it directly, give it to everyone, and take some back to my family to taste."

Everyone in the restaurant was overjoyed and thanked Lin Mei.

Lin Mei walked alone on the street, full of braised beef, beef jerky, bamboo shoots roast beef, braised beef, spicy beef slices, scallion fried beef, boiled beef......

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Finally able to have a lively year, Lin Mei prepared a box of fireworks and firecrackers in advance.

The boy was naughty, not to mention that Zhang Dabao saw so many fireworks for the first time, and before it was dark, he pulled Xiaobao to set off firecrackers at the door.

Zhou Ximei was afraid that he would be blown up, so she wanted to open her mouth to stop her several times, but she could see his happy appearance, and swallowed her words again.

"Mother, mother, did you hear that? Do you hear that? The loudest sound just now was the one I put on. Zhang Dabao excitedly pulled his mother and asked.

"Look at the sweat you are running, okay, just play once or twice to have a good time, be careful not to be blown up by firecrackers." Zhou Ximei listened to the crackling sound of firecrackers in the backyard, and was frightened, and finally caught the opportunity, so she didn't let him play.

But Zhang Dabaozheng's excitement was up, where could he listen to it, and he didn't enjoy it.

Father Lin was on the side, thinking that this was not a big deal, so he said: "The boy is real, let him go, you don't let him put enough at this time, and it is worrying to get up in the middle of the night and secretly put it." ”

Zhang Dabao, who got permission, ran away in a smoke.

Because it was a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Mei personally cooked a few hard dishes, and the rest was handed over to Xu Dang's busy work.

Mama Wu looked at the thick clouds in the sky and sighed. The vernal equinox happened to be on the side, and he asked curiously, "Mama, what's wrong?" Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, sighing is not lucky, we have to celebrate the festival with joy. ”

"I'm sighing for this ghost weather, it's almost spring, and it's not sunny yet, I'm afraid that the coming year will not be a good year."

Lin Mei happened to hear these words and said, "How do you know that the coming year will not be good?" Why can't I see it? ”

"Let the eldest lady smile, I've lived for such a long time, haven't I seen it yet? As the old saying goes: 1929 doesn't shoot; , 3949 frozen pigs and dogs; 5969 look at the willows along the river; Seventy-nine-eighty-nine rivers open geese; Ninety-nine plus nine-nine, ploughing cattle everywhere. It's been six or nine days, and it's still so cold, I'm afraid it's not good! Mama Wu sighed.

Lin Mei looked up at the sky and didn't see any difference, but compared to the previous two years, this year was indeed much colder. Some time ago, Daddy Lin also said that he was nostalgic for the kang in the old house, which was warm and did not cost firewood, unlike now when there is a brazier burning in the house and a soup woman on the bed, he still feels cold.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that what Mama Wu said seems to be quite reasonable, in this era of relying on the sky to eat, if there is a natural disaster in the coming year, no one can escape it.

Lin Mei took this matter to heart, thinking that if it didn't warm up after a while, she had to prepare in advance.

During the unitary period, Lin Mei was still like in previous years, giving red envelopes before eating, which was already a family practice and everyone was used to it.

But some people can't get used to it.

"The eldest lady is the eldest lady, there is no ambiguity in dealing with the world, from the middle to the master, down to the maid, everyone gets a red envelope, without exception, to the point that I am more stingy as the housewife." Zhou Ximei said in a weird way.

Father Lin glared at her and said, "The family doesn't talk to each other, so they know what to do." ”

"How can it be the same, I am the housewife, she is the eldest lady, this is to give each of them a heart." Zhou Ximei said unconvinced.

"Then you give it, no one stopped you." Peaches didn't like her and scolded her.

This time I stepped on Zhou Ximei's shortcomings, what Zhou Ximei lacked most was silver, and there were a total of ten taels of silver in her purse, which was still the monthly example of this month.

Lin Mei was generous again, and the five younger siblings were colleagues, each with five taels of silver; The girls were distributed in the order of entering the house in the order of one tael to three taels. Old people like Mama Wu and the two sons of the Xu family are each sealed with five taels. This is not counting the one hundred taels of silver for the filial piety of Father Lin and Zhou Ximei alone, and the little private room in Zhou Ximei's purse is obviously not enough.

Only then did Zhou Ximei realize that if she didn't have any money, what would she talk about being a housewife? It's a joke in the eyes of others.

Silver, silver, how can you earn silver? Zhou Ximei didn't eat Ansheng at the New Year's dinner, and her mind was full of thinking about earning money.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, according to the rules, Zhou Ximei took the two brothers and sisters back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings. When pouring bitter water with his sister-in-law Yin Youlan, he sighed: "Money can make ghosts grind, this is not false at all." ”

"What? Do you want to buy or sell? Yin Youlan had an idea: "I have a good deal here, if you have spare money in hand, you can try it." ”

"What's the deal?"

"Aunt Wu of Zhouzhuang and his man are sick, waiting for the silver to save her life, she was going to sell the shop in the town for treatment, but this Chinese New Year, she can't get rid of her hands for a while, so she wants to see who can borrow a hundred taels of silver to save people first, and when the market is opened, the shop can be repaid, not in vain, and give 20 points of interest a month." Yin Youlan stretched out two fingers and gestured.

When Zhou Ximei heard it, twenty points of interest? So high? What's the difference between this and picking up silver?! I was a little excited, but I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the money back then.

Yin Youlan saw that she was already moved, and she would definitely be able to recover the money for her with the guarantee ticket.
