Liu Yifan, as the only official in history who has no fame and no military merits, still has close contacts with the royal family, so he has naturally become a sweet spot in the eyes of everyone.

On the third day of the junior high school, there were waves of New Year's greetings, and there were ten tables.

Aunt Hong at home didn't have time to cook, the New Year's greetings, the New Year's greetings, the hospitality of the guests, it was difficult to find someone to help, and then it was the grandmother who brought Xiuxiu to help, and only then did she make ten tables of dishes.

Afterwards, Liu Yifan asked people to send ten catties of polished rice and two packets of peach cake to the grandmother's house as a thank you gift, the old man said that he didn't want anything, and then Luo Ying said that if he didn't accept it, he would never ask her for help in the future, so she accepted it.

Because there were many guests at noon, Liu Yifan and Luo Ying went to Li's house in the afternoon to pay New Year's greetings, and stayed at Li's house to eat in the evening.

"Milk, you can burn that half of the rabbit today!" Li Quanfu said.

"Burn, burn!" Grandma Li smiled and said, "When I was still a child, I was thinking about that half of the rabbit all day long." ”

"Mother, don't talk about Quanfu worrying, I'm also worried about it." Li Dafeng said, "Preserved rabbit meat is delicious, and we rarely eat it once a year." ”

This year, Wang Daxiong took a few boys into the mountain several times, and hunted a lot of prey, including a lot of rabbit nests, and caught more than 40 rabbits, which were made into rabbits, but this rabbit was basically given as a favor a year ago, and each family sent one or two, and in the end there were less than ten left in their own homes.

"Grandma Li, Aunt Dafeng, don't worry about it, I still have a few at home, Yiming will go and bring two more from home, everyone will enjoy it today." Liu Yifan said.

"Don't don't, don't go!" Grandma Li hurriedly refused, "There are too many dishes at home!" There are chickens, ducks and fish, how many things can be eaten! That's enough! What's more, you are different from the past now, and there are many guests at home, so you still stay to entertain guests, come back, come back! ”

Grandma Li always thinks about the juniors in everything, and Liu Yifan and his family are very moved.

Luo Ying said: "It doesn't make sense that our own family can't eat if we want to, but we have to keep it for those 'guests' who don't know when they came!" Yiming, go back and get it. ”

"Hey." Liu Yiming left in response.

Liu Yifan said: "Anyway, it's all in our own stomachs, and it's not a waste." ”

"Okay, mother, Yifan Yingzi said so, let's not shirk." Li Dafeng said, "Yingzi, you sit, I'll cook with your grandmother." ”

"This kid ......"

Liu Dabao said: "Big brother, Yiming, next time you go into the mountains to hunt and catch rabbits, can you take me?" ”

Liu Dabao has never participated in hunting and is quite interested.

Quanfu also came to the end, and said: "The restaurant will not open until the fourteenth day of the first month, I think we will go tomorrow, how about it?" ”

"Not tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to Zhoujia Village to pay New Year's greetings." Liu Dabao and Peach Blossom's affair is done, and today is the New Year, and he has to go to the Zhou family to pay New Year's greetings.

At this time, Li Liang said: "Quanfu, didn't you forget that you said that you would go to my house tomorrow?" Otherwise, let's go on the sixth day of the new year, and I'll go there when the time comes, and call my cousin Ah Ming too. ”

Li Liang is Li Dafeng's eldest son, and on the fourth day of junior high school, Quanfu father and son are going to pay New Year's greetings to Li Dafeng.

Li Sheng said: "I will go too, I will go too." ”

"Good! All right! When the time comes, catch more rabbits or something, let's eat enough! Quanfu said.

Grandpa Li looked at these boys discussing catching rabbits, and smiled kindly: "Haha, you don't plan to let those rabbits have a stable year!" ”

"Brother Yifan, are you going?" Quanfu asked.

"I'm not going, you can go!"

Li Haoyun reproached: "Brother Yifan, you are busy with official business, how can you be like you, running all over the mountains, thinking about food all day long!" ”

"Good luck, you go and call the two of you to dinner." Grandma Li said.

Liu Dabao said: "No need. ”

"You are all eating here, there are only two of you and your mother left in the house, you all come to eat together, there are more people and more lively, and the two of them have to open the fire in the cold pot and cold stove."

As soon as Grandma Li's words fell, Li Haoyun got up and went to call someone.

"Mother, aren't you going to find another daughter-in-law for good luck?" In the kitchen, Li Dafeng asked about Li Haoyun's lifelong events.

"I'm thinking, after the year, I ask someone to find a daughter-in-law for your brother, Wan Hong in Wanjia Village, I like it very much, but I don't know if people are remarried now." Grandma Li sighed, "Hey, if it weren't for Luo Juxiang, a slut, we would have been lucky to marry someone else at this time." ”

At the beginning, Grandma Li thought that Wan Hong was good, and wanted to ask the matchmaker to come to the door to say, but Luo Juxiang came out halfway, and now although Luo Juxiang has been punished, the damage to Li Haoyun and the Li family still can't be erased.

Li Dafeng said: "When the Spring Lantern Festival is over, let the matchmaker inquire." ”

"That's what I mean, family background doesn't matter, it's mainly character, you also pay attention to it." Grandma Li said, "Liangliang's marriage is engaged? ”

"Well, it's settled, it's our village chief's daughter-in-law's granddaughter, sixteen years old, looks a little darker, but I look diligent and neat."

"It's good to be diligent and neat, our village family chooses a daughter-in-law, it is to work, it's useless to just look good."

"I think so too, I want to set the date for the Spring Lantern Festival, and it's almost nineteen!" Li Dafeng said, "Liangliang becomes a parent, it should be promoted, and when they are all married, I will be relieved." ”

Li Sheng is Li Dafeng's youngest son, and he is also fourteen years old this year.

Luo Ying walked to the room and said, "Grandma, I'll light the fire."

"Your good clothes, don't get dirty, go to the hall to bake charcoal, here I and your Aunt Feng can be busy."

"It's okay, just wash your clothes when they get dirty." Luo Ying said, "A few of them are guessing riddles there!" ”

"Okay, we can talk for a while while you sit here."

"By the way, Yingzi, next year, oh, now it's going to be this year, I heard that there are several ponds in our village, you are going to let the villagers partner to raise fish, and you will collect it here, right?" Li Dafeng asked.

"Yes! After the Spring Lantern Festival, we will start to build roads, and it will be convenient to transport things out of the mountains and villages at that time, and our business will also expand this year, and the demand will be large. Luo Ying said, "Even if you can't sell it, it's the New Year, and each family will share one or two hundred catties of fish for the New Year!" ”

"That's right, last year, everyone in the village raised chickens and ducks together, the least of them were divided into more than seven taels of silver, and the most were divided into more than 30 taels.

"If you can buy goose cubs, you can raise more ducks, if you can't buy them, you can raise more ducks, we need a lot of duck feathers."

"I know this, you use duck feathers and goose feathers to make clothes, those in our village who were drawn by lot to raise chickens, regretted it very much, annoyed that their bad luck, I didn't expect duck feathers to be sold for money, I feel that I have lost a lot of money raising chickens!" Li Dafeng said, "It is estimated that there will be more duck owners this year." ”

Grandma Li said: "This is all the blessing of Tuo Yingzi and Yifan." ”

"Not really! Otherwise, we would not have the present day! ”

"Don't say that!" Luo Ying said, "This is all the result of your own efforts, don't you see that there are still people in our village who eat cabbage during the New Year?" ”

There is a man in the village who is too lazy, there are several children in the family, all of them are very small, and the mother-in-law is not very diligent, Luo Ying does not dare to invite this kind of lazy goods to work, but he has purchased Dachai for a long time, and it is not a problem to earn twenty yuan a day diligently, but people just don't go, no, everyone eats meat during the New Year, the two of them eat cabbage, and several children are looking at other people's meat.

Grandma Li felt sorry for a while and said: "There are few people in the world who have two people with leprosy and dysentery, but they have suffered those children." ”

"By the way, mother, do you plan to buy a house in the county seat?" ”

"Buying a house in the county?" Grandma Li was surprised and said, "Is this necessary?" ”

Li Dafeng said: "Mother, Quanfu is too tired to run back and forth in the county and village every day, and now he can still squeeze in the restaurant with Dabao Aming, Xiaoqian's family is a young lady, and he can't be wronged to live in the restaurant with Quanfu!" ”

After hearing this, Grandma Li also felt reasonable: "That's ...... How much does it cost to buy a house in the county? ”

"A house with two entrances and two exits, generally about eighty or ninety taels, and some furniture is purchased, at most one hundred and twenty taels." Luo Ying told them about the situation in the county.

"So much." Grandma Li hesitated.

Mainly last year, the Zhang family was hired, and the bride price was given 2828, as well as clothes, cloth, shoes, jewelry, etc., which cost them more than half of their family funds, and now they are worried that they can't afford to buy a house.

Luo Ying said: "Grandma, if the money is not enough, I will lend it to you first." ”

"That's not going to work." Grandma Li refused, "I can't always take advantage of you, you have helped us enough, we will work for another year this year, and then buy a house at the end of the year!" ”

Luo Ying said: "Actually, Uncle Zhang told me that they would marry a house......

"What? Marrying a house? Grandma Li's mother and daughter were stunned, and they married more than 100 taels of the house, this ......

Luo Ying said: "According to the current conditions of Uncle Zhang's family, a house is nothing, if you can't afford it for the time being, it doesn't matter, if the Zhang family marries the house, then your family is responsible for purchasing furniture, buy better furniture, the total value will not be much lower than the house." ”

Li Dafeng reacted and said: "This is also true, Quanfu is also the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Xiaoqian is the daughter of Director Zhang, and the furniture must not be too shabby." ”

Luo Ying said: "Even if the Zhang family doesn't marry the house, it's okay, the matter of buying a house can be slowed down, their marriage is at the end of June, it's still early!" Now Quanfu is in the rising stage of development, and you can buy it later. ”

Luo Ying said this, Grandma Li was relieved, and secretly calculated an account in her heart, her grandson got married in June, if you buy a house in May, then there are still five months, and then the lo-mei can be divided into more than a dozen taels, Quanfu's salary is more than ten taels, and the chicken and duck breeding factory can be divided into more than a dozen taels, and the greenhouse vegetables can be sold for a while, and it is estimated that they can earn a few taels.
