The business is on the right track, and when the vegetable seeds sprout, it is less than a month before the Chinese New Year, and the Mai family gets together to discuss how to spend this year.

Of course, Mai Wang wanted to return to Shaxi Village, but Mai Xiaohuan was not worried about what was going on here, and also wanted to accompany Qu Hao for the New Year, so he chose to stay. The other three were a little hesitant, hesitating between going and staying.

A big order from the capital made a decision for them, even if they worked overtime, it would be good to be able to deliver the goods at the end of the year. Mai Xiaohuan asked Qu Hao to send his subordinates to send five taels of silver to each of his grandmother and eldest brother, and if they asked, they said that they would stay with Qu Hao for the New Year.

For this sister who lies and doesn't blink, Qu Hao doesn't know what other good way to deal with her except glaring at her.

After receiving the silver from his son, Mai Liu's heart was a lot more relieved, it seems that his son still remembers himself, and the silver is more than in previous years, so he has a conscience.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mai Yonghe came alone to greet the elders, and in the face of Wu's sarcasm and ridicule, he explained that Chen Qiuniang had a big reaction to pregnancy, and he lay in bed all day long, and he didn't dare to go anywhere.

"Yo! Then your mother is really ruthless, leaving her son and daughter-in-law to run away to Quxian County to enjoy the blessings. If my daughter-in-law is pregnant! I won't go anywhere, I watch over her every day and take care of her. ”

Mai Yonghe, who originally had a deep enough grudge against his father, had more opinions after Wu's provocation. Shaxi Village was too far away from Tongbei County, otherwise he would have gone over and asked them if he was an outsider. I didn't even say hello when I left.

After the New Year's celebration, he didn't even eat the reunion dinner, Mai Yonghe rushed back to the county seat, although there was a mother-in-law at home, but the daughter-in-law reacted greatly, and she was not at ease. Chen Hanting refused to understand his sister's hard pregnancy, refused to drink the tea made by his mother-in-law, and made dim sum, he must do these things in person. Fortunately, Qiu Niang is not vomiting so badly now, so she has time to come back to worship her ancestors and pay New Year's greetings to the elders.

Before the Mai Qiaoyue sisters returned to their parents' house, the stool was hot, and the uncle's family in Tongbei County arrived. For their arrival, the Mai family was very puzzled, it would take two days to take a carriage from Tongbei County to Shaxi Village! Could it be that these people set off from home in the thirtieth year of Chinese New Year's Eve?

Everyone ran to the courtyard to wait for the guests, wondering what was the urgency of the uncle's house coming to the door at this time. The people who came were Liu Feng and his daughter-in-law, who worked in Mai Xiaohuan's workshop.

Without waiting for Mai Liu to ask, Liu Feng urged his aunt to send someone to find Mai Yonghe, saying that he had news about Mai Wang's family, and it was very good news.

After everyone who should have arrived gathered, Liu Feng first asked them where they knew where Mai Xiaohuan's family was? What to do?

"Of course, you are in Tongbei County, and you can enjoy the blessings of living in the county office! What else can you do. Mai Liu said angrily.

"I guess you don't know the truth, and you're still in the dark, so I'll tell you! People are developed, and now there is a big village of nearly 2,000 acres of land, not to mention, but also under the banner of Mai's to open a workshop, now there are 150 or 60 workers alone, and I am one of them. ”

How is this possible! Not to mention that Mai Liu didn't believe it, even Mai Yonghe was stunned by the news.

"I know you don't want to believe it easily, and I didn't believe it at first, who doesn't know that there are no crops growing in the fields of Tongbei County! Suddenly, a rich man came and went around collecting livestock dung, pig water, pond mud, grass and wood ash, and so on.

I'm curious, too! Who is this? What do you do with these things? When I went to Jiaotang mud, the copper plate was given by my cousin's youngest son, probably there were too many people at that time, and he didn't notice me.

It didn't take long for the sweet potato processing workshop to start recruiting workers, you don't see, every day the trucks pulling goods lined up to enter the villa, and the whole car was pulled out. I don't know how much money I will make in just over this month! ”

These people are rich, not to mention promoting their relatives, they are still hiding everywhere and not seeing people, I really think I don't recognize them! If they don't let themselves be stained, they don't want to be happy.

If it was a sweet potato processing workshop, Mai Yonghe believed the other party's words a little, but he knew that his sister had been tinkering with those things, and once when he came home, he heard her happily tell her mother that the things had been successfully studied.

But where did she get so much money to buy land and build a workshop? Could it be that Qu Hao sent her? Or was it sent by the county guard or the county lord?

"Yonghe, Yonghe, what are you doing in a daze! Tell me what you think. Mai Xing asked his nephew, if he wanted to say that his younger brother did this, he really didn't believe it, if it was a little niece? There is still some credibility.

"I believe these things on Xiao Huan." After saying this, Mai Yonghe regretted it a little, why did he let these people know that his sister had this ability, and how good it would be to go and see it secretly.

"Good! It's a shame that I'm still worried every day that the second family will not have a good time outside, and what grievances have I suffered, it turns out that people are going to earn money and enjoy it, and they put me aside. "Mai Liu's is so angry! It's hard for me to look forward to my son being good outside at home every day, they are very good, living in Zhuangzi, earning silver, and forgetting about this old woman a long time ago, they are really a bunch of conscienceless things.

"I'm going to find my second brother, he doesn't care if he harms me like this, there is no door, I must compensate for the cost of medicine and losses, and they will be responsible for my future life." Mai Quan limped to his feet, he was excited! If the second brother gets rich, he won't have to worry about it in his life, even if he is laid, he will depend on him.

The others also discussed it, and agreed that it was wrong for the Mai Wan family to do this, and that they wanted to leave their poor relatives behind if they were doing well, and that it was too much for them to go to him.

Everyone agreed with Mai Quan's proposal, but there was a disagreement on who went and who stayed. Mai Liu's must go, the son is too much to do this kind of thing of leaving his mother to enjoy alone, and he must ask clearly in person. Mai Yonghe, as the only person in the family who was excluded, also had to follow, but he had to go back to the county seat to say something first.

Mai Quan must follow, he thought of the second brother and walked around twice, let him see what he has become now, I don't believe that he will not give any compensation, even if he gives one hundred and eighty taels of silver every year!

Knowing that it is very likely to benefit from following Tongbei County, everyone is vying to sign up, and Mai Qiaoyue and Mai Qiaoyun will also follow. Everyone is surnamed Mai, there is no reason for others to divide the silver, I stand aside and watch, if my mother and eldest brother can get a hundred taels, I will not be more than fifty!

"You can't fit so many people in one car!"

"Isn't Yonghe going back to the county? Just rent two more carriages. Mai Xing commanded.

"I don't have any money." Mai Yonghe is not stupid, let himself go to rent a car but no one pays for it, if he takes this silver, no one will help share a penny. Besides, these people all want to touch the light of their parents and sisters, and they can enter the villa without following them.

Distressed for a long time, in order to get more benefits, Mai Liu agreed to rent a carriage, Mai Xing and Mai all contributed the money for a car, but asked that each family who did not take the silver could only go to one person.

Mai Qiaoyue and Mai Qiaoyun really have no money, although the whole family wants to enjoy it, they can only obey the arrangement of the eldest brother in the face of the cruel reality. Mai Yonghe originally planned to go alone, but he went home and talked to Chen Qiuniang, and got strong support from his daughter-in-law.

"Da Lang, if it weren't for my body not being angry, I would accompany you to say anything, you would rest assured at home! You don't have to rush back with your grandmother and them, stay there and help your parents a little more. After all, you are the eldest son in the family, and our second room will be handed over to you in the future. ”

That's right! He is the eldest son in the family, and it stands to reason that most of Zhuangzi and heaven and earth should belong to him, and he can't rush back this time to take care of his land and business.

The husband and wife exchanged silently with their eyes, understood the meaning in each other's eyes, looked at each other and smiled, Chen Qiuniang forced her body to pack a change of clothes for her husband, and sent people to the gate very virtuously.

Three cars, walked for two days, and arrived in Tongbei County on the evening of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, facing the county seat that is not better than Shaxi Village, Wu and Mai Xiaoling pouted in disgust, what kind of broken place is this, Xiao Huan's eyes are fine! Why did you choose such a place to build a workshop and farm land? Why don't you go back to Shaxi Village and do these things?

Mai Xiaohuan would be happy if she heard the inner monologue of their mother and daughter, and she was not stupid, of course she knew that Tongbei County was not as good as Pingliang County, and compared with Shaxi Village, it only had the advantage of a large area.

It's not that I don't want to go back to build my hometown, it's that I don't dare to go back at all! It's no wonder that these relatives in the family can let themselves do things with peace of mind, and they have no choice but to come to Tongbei County.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the villa, Mai Yonghe straightened his waist and knocked on the door with the master's style.

The janitor took a look, good guy, there are still a lot of people, men, women and children plus a dozen people, and after asking what they meant, they told Mai Yonghe that they were waiting outside, and ran to find Mai Xiaohuan by himself.

As soon as I heard that the family was coming, there was an old lady among them, Mai Xiaohuan had a "buzz" in her head, why did these people come, they were careful enough, how did they leak the news? At this time, she didn't have time to study deeply, how to arrange these talents is the most critical, the villa must not let them live, it is easy to live, I am afraid it will be difficult to let them go.

She leaned on the side of the door and peeked at it, and after making sure that it was her best relatives, she found someone to call her second brother, took out some silver, and asked him to temporarily settle people in the inn in the county seat. I can use this evening to think of a solution.

Hearing that grandma and eldest brother were coming, Mai Yonghai was going to be depressed to death, and when he opened the door and saw more than these two, he almost fell to the ground, his family just wanted to live a peaceful life, why was it so difficult?
