Li Qin walked over from the side, saw the greasy appearance of these two people, couldn't help but feel a little eye pain, and said loudly: "Can you two pay attention to it, in broad daylight, you should pay attention to the influence." ”

Lu Yan glanced at Li Qin, but Si Si broke free from Lu Yan's arms with a red face.

Li Qin received Lu Yan's dissatisfied eyes, stiffened, and said quickly: "It's almost the New Year, I'm going back to the city, if I don't go back, the class master will have an opinion on me." ”

"Then, I'll buy something and buy some New Year's goods for you! Let's take some of our sweetwater village specialties, or vegetables from the field. Si Si said a little apologetically: "Thanks to your help in the past few days, otherwise, this probably won't be able to finish you!" ”

"Si Si, what you said was too polite." Li Qin smiled and said: "No need, sister-in-law, you just have this intention, it's the same if I go to the city to buy things, and it's troublesome to bring them back." ”

"It's good to know the trouble, don't hurry up." Lu Yan looked at him a little impatiently and said.

Si Si gently pinched Lu Yan and whispered in his ear, "How can you speak!" ”

Tsk, it's an eyesore.

Lu Yan glanced at Li Qin, Li Qin immediately reacted, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, my things have been packed, Cheng Ruiyun is still waiting for me to go back!" I won't bother you too much, I'll go first. ”

After saying this, Li Qin didn't know where to take out a burden, put it on his back, nodded at Si Si and Lu Yan, and soon the person was gone.

"Huh! Li Qin......"

Si Si watched Li Qin disappear in front of him, and couldn't help but feel that he was a little uninteresting.

"Don't feel guilty, I gave Li Qin money, which is equivalent to him being hired by me." Lu Yan saw the look on Si Si's face and explained, "Don't worry! There will be more, not less. ”

"Even if that's the case...... Si Si still wanted to say something more, but finally shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, if you go to the city in the future, bring him something." ”

In a few days, the New Year will be celebrated, and today is a small year.

Chinese New Year's Eve is also a big festival in the south, on this day, families with conditions will prepare a lot of dishes, and spend this festival with their families.

This year, Si Si had already discussed with Lu Yan, and took Jixiang and some meat and vegetables to the village chief's house.

When Sisi and his family arrived, the village chief and Aunt Zhao had already washed all the dishes, stewed the chicken, and were preparing to stir-fry.

Lu Yan took out a few pairs of medicinal materials that he had prepared for the village chief, the weather has been cold recently, and the village chief's legs and feet are a little painful, just to relieve the village chief, Si Si also brought his own braised meat and pickles.

Lu Yan went to chat with the village chief and said some precautions for treating leg pain, while Si Si went to the stove room to help.

"Aunt Zhao, I'll light the fire!" Sisi said.

"No, you're a guest, just sit down." Aunt Zhao was about to be polite, but suddenly paused, saw Lu Yan standing at the door of the kitchen, and her eyes rolled.

She changed her words again: "Okay, then you and Lu Yan come, I'll go outside and prepare the table." ”

Just as Jixiang walked in with a few chopped firewood, and wanted to help, Aunt Zhao hurriedly hugged Jixiang out.

"Good boy! Let's help grandma make the table together! ”

"Well, okay!" Jixiang originally wanted to help his mother light the fire, but seeing that his father was here, he very obediently let Aunt Zhao go out with him. bar

There were only Si Si and Lu Yan in the stove room.

Lu Yan stir-fried, Si Si lit the fire, Lu Yan felt sorry for Si Si staying in front of the stove, so he let Si Si sit on the side, did he add some firewood.

Si Si is embarrassed to sit by and watch! So he helped Lu Yan deliver things, and the two of them went back and forth, although they didn't speak, but they were very warm.

But there are too many dishes to cook tonight, so Lu Yan has been busy and can't stop for a moment, Si Si handed things from time to time, while wiping the sweat on Lu Yan's head.

Although they didn't talk much, the two were full of tacit understanding, and as soon as Lu Yan finished cooking, Si Si handed over the plate at the right time. Lu Yan wanted to add firewood, so Si Si helped stir-fry a few times with a shovel.

After a busy job, Lu Yan fried a total of eight dishes.

It's rare for the family to be so lively, the village chief pulled Lu Yan and chatted for a while, and the two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, so it was not lively, although most of them were the village chief who kept talking, Lu Yan nodded from time to time, and echoed a few words.

Si Si sat with Jixiang, Aunt Zhao was by his side, Si Si was holding dishes for Jixiang, and chatting happily with Aunt Zhao at the same time.

The sound of firecrackers was also heard outside.

After eating almost, Si Si helped tidy up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went back to his house with Lu Yan and Jixiang, saying goodbye to the village chief and his wife.

At the end of the year, after the desks and chairs were all ready, Lu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After giving these tables and chairs to Squire Wu, Squire Wu also settled his wages very happily.

Lu Yan also did not treat those who came to his house to help, and also calculated everyone's wages so that they could buy more things during the Chinese New Year.

Everyone was a little embarrassed to collect the money, they came to observe and learn something, and they didn't help much, but they collected the money, and some of them couldn't get over it, but Lu Yan gave it and resolutely didn't take it back, everyone was moved, and they didn't forget to send something to Sisi and Lu Yan.

After the salary was paid, Si Si counted the money saved during this time, and it was okay not to count, but when he counted it, he found that it was almost twenty taels of silver.

This is a small fortune!

When spring begins, you can start a small business.

Sisi pondered silently in his heart.

On the evening of the twenty-seventh day of the New Year, Lu Yan seemed to remember that his family had not yet bought New Year's goods, so he asked Sisi if he wanted to go to the town to buy New Year's goods the next day.

Si thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let's go together." ”

I've been here for so long, and I haven't had a decent year! This year, there is Lu Yan and auspiciousness by his side, and it should be more lively.

Besides, there is money to spare at home, so it is good to buy more things.

"Buy some more things for Li Qin and Cheng Ruiyun!"

Lu Yan was a little unhappy when he heard the names of the two of them, but seeing that Si Si was very interested, he didn't say anything.

……

Early the next morning, Si Si and Lu Yan made an ox cart for the people in the village together with Jixiang, and prepared to enter the city.
