When only Shen and Ziqing were left in the room, Ziqing told Shen what happened today, "My aunt is not here to give gifts, but to return gifts, and she can really pull down her face and coax Lin Kangping to borrow silver, and when she opens her mouth and closes her mouth, it is one hundred and two hundred taels of silver, thinking that Lin Kangping is easy to speak?" It's only been a few years, and you've forgotten Da Mao's hands? This time it's good, Kang Ping is not used to their problems, and went out directly, this is going to be used to eating, three days and two heads come to the door, I don't panic when I see it? It's best for grandpa and grandma to figure it out, when you say that grandma is a birthday, how ugly is the aunt's appearance, why is it only half a year, and grandma forgets? ”

"Who's to say it isn't? Your grandmother drilled the tip of the horns and was thinking about them with all her heart. It's much better now, I can't see each other once or twice a year, I used to be crowded together, I didn't live at home for a while, I didn't move a finger, I waited with your aunt, their children are still strong, and they grab everything they eat, you can only look at it, but fortunately, your eldest brother is sensible and knows to take you away. Forget it, if you don't talk about it, it's all tears. Fortunately, you are better than your mother, so you don't have to wait for your mother-in-law. Look at your three aunts, which one is the one who is good to get along with? When you were a child, you didn't eat or drink, who cared about you who and pee? Your eldest brother was really sensible when he was a child, and when he saw that I couldn't be busy, he took you to play, and I couldn't get up in the morning, he helped you get dressed, and I knew that they all hated our poor family, and they didn't come to them. ”

"No, I still remember that not long after Zixi was full moon, Grandma thought Zixi's poop stinks, and her second aunt helped me. Afterward. Grandma took Mumu, and when the sister-in-law saw the child, she called Grandma to clean it up. ”

"Over the years, your second aunt has helped me a few times, so I remember her love. They all looked at us and couldn't turn over, and they wanted to divide us, and they wanted to keep the money your father earned. All the good things have been calculated for them. I don't need them, and I'm not living a good life yet. Qing'er, forget it. For your father's sake, it's almost over, and I'll send you and my grandfather some food tomorrow. Don't make your grandfather feel uncomfortable during the New Year. ”

"Mother, I know, don't worry. I don't have trouble with myself, but I won't let them take advantage of it, and I will never give out my aunt's money, and it's not easy to say anything. ”

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, just when the child woke up, teased the child for a while, Xiaoqing came over to change the Shen family to eat.

Meal. Originally, Zixi and they still wanted to stay here for a while, but Shen said, "Your grandma, they have been making trouble with Qing'er for an afternoon, let's go back early and let her rest." ”

Zi Xicai reluctantly followed behind the Shen family. Before leaving, he still said: "Brother-in-law, you look so powerful today, you are really happy." It's a pity that he was knocked on the head by Zifu after speaking.

Lin Kangping couldn't help but smile, came in and asked Ziqing: "Didn't your aunt and their family leave?" Just for a meal of lamb and back? ”

"Besides, it's not like you forgot to give them a gift in return. I came back to ask for a trip, afraid that we wouldn't give it, so I pulled my grandma over to strengthen my courage, and by the way, I found a reason for the family to eat and drink. ”

"No, where is there anyone who takes the initiative to return the gift? I was really eye-opening, only we couldn't think of it, and I couldn't do it without them. ”

"Can't? You weren't there at the time, my grandma squeezed me, as if I had made a big mistake, I was annoyed, and I made up my mind to reject them, but I didn't think of any good ideas for a while, but Xiaoqing Xiaolan's performance today was not bad, clever enough. ”

"It seems that our family will stay away from them in the future, but I didn't expect that their skin is not ordinary thick, and it is more sticky than kraft candy. Well, let's not talk about them. Just now our father asked about our son's name, my family's ranking should be prosperous and healthy, the book heirloom, the son is a scholar, my father said that it is called Shurui, Rui means smart and wise, what do you think? ”

"Shurui, Lin Shurui, it's pretty good, just use this. Our son has a name. Ziqing kissed the child's tender face and said. It's only been a few days, the child's little face has grown a little, and the skin is no longer wrinkled, and the facial features can be seen to be more delicate with Ziqing, but the eyebrows are thick and thick, adding a bit of heroism, and the little black eyes look at Ziqing, as if they can see into Ziqing's heart, Ziqing only then realized how soft the heart of a mother is.

Factor Qing is still in the confinement, Lin Kangping took over the family's trivial matters, the first thing is to the end of the year, the account books of the year are gathered, and the income and expenditure of the year are calculated, the net income of raising chickens in the orange garden is also four or five hundred taels a year, and the Kangzhuang side has invested seven hundred taels of silver this year, and now there are only eighty or two inputs for selling soybeans, and after removing the labor, there are probably less than fifty taels left. The soil quality of the wasteland is not good, the normal acre of land can harvest 300 catties of soybeans, and the wasteland is only about 100 catties. The largest of the more than 20 pigs is only about 150 catties, and it is a pity to kill them, Ziqing said that they will be raised for a while.

Qingyuan's peaches, watermelons, lotus roots, fish, ducks, and geese together have less than 200 taels of income this year, which is enough for a family to live. The early rice was confiscated, and the rent of the late rice was collected, and the rice left by the family was cut away, and sold for one hundred and fifty taels of silver. Lin Kangping went out twice and earned 2,500 taels of silver, Ziqing sold sweaters and down jackets for 300 taels, and Lin Kangping rescued strangers for 2,000 taels, and Ziqing's family received 5,000 taels of silver this year. Coupled with the income earned from the capital at the beginning of the year and the family funds of the previous two, there are now tens of thousands of taels of silver. This is the first year of marriage, and it has reached 10,000 yuan, not counting the real estate in his hand, Ziqing's eyes are bent into crescents.

Lin Kangping brought the small box over, looked at Ziqing and counted the silver tickets with a smile, and felt infinite satisfaction in his heart, he still remembered Ziqing's sentence, he slept until he woke up naturally, and counted the money until his hand cramped, "I don't know if Qing'er's hand is soft?" Do you have cramps? It seems that I have to work hard for my husband. ”

"How do you know that?" Ziqing put down the silver ticket, stared at Lin Kangping and asked.

"Didn't you say it yourself? I forgot what you said when we first met, your dream was to buy a large field, a bunch of shops, collect rent every year, sleep, count money, I still remember. Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing, and his chin rubbed against Ziqing's neck.

Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and was slightly disappointed, thinking that she was crossing her peers. "Speaking of which, when will you go to Anzhou City to see if there are shops and paddy fields for sale? If it doesn't work, you can go to Changzhou City and buy a few shops. It is a waste of this silver to keep at home, and it is enough for you to go out with five thousand taels of silver in our family. Also, it's best to buy a girl who can do needlework, there are more and more people in the family, and the clothes of the four seasons of the year need a special person to take care of them. There should also be another person on the stove, Granny Wang is older, and the family has a large population, so one person can't be busy. ”

"I've wanted to buy two more maids for a long time, and I have children at home, where are you busy? With such a big family, it is best to have one or two mothers-in-law who do rough work. ”

"That's it, by the way, I saw that there is a flower child in Anzhou City, honestly, it's best to come out of the countryside, and if the family has suffered an accident, it's better to take a few of them in and put them on the side of Kangzhuang, not only to find a way for them to live, but also to take care of our land, and to accumulate some virtue for Rui'er."

Lin Kangping agreed, the husband and wife said that they would do other housework, Ziqing hugged the child to breastfeed, and Lin Kangping was on the side to make the diapers that the child would use at night.

The next day, Lin Kangping took Ziqing's list, went to Anzhou City to purchase, and went to Yaxing by the way, Yapozi brought seven or eight people back for Ziqing to pick, Ziqing picked two orphans, and it looked quite neat. A ten-year-old, ordinary needlework is okay, Ziqing asked her to specialize in needlework, named Xiaohong; A nine-year-old did some chores with Mrs. Wang, and when she grew up, she took over the stove room and named Xiaozi, spending a total of twenty taels of silver.

Lin Kangping didn't find a suitable little flower when he went out this time, but brought back two older old people, begging during the day and hiding in the broken temple at night, and there was no family anymore.

"I have sent people to Kangzhuang, follow Lao Zhou and they feed the pigs, there is no work in the field at present, the rape has grown, but the third uncle said that it is used to fertilize the land, and there is no need to take care of it, and when the spring starts next year, I will turn the ground and plant some corn or something. I think it's better to build a few more houses in the spring, in case someone is going to be found, it's good to have a place to live, right? Lin Kangping asked.

"Okay, it's better to build a house along the foot of the mountain, we can't do anything about this mountain, we can come to a hill first, there will be more people in the future, and we will build a large circle of houses around our land, and we won't need a courtyard wall." You say, what can we do if we buy this hillside? ”

"Don't worry, you take care of your body first, you don't have to worry about those things, when Kangzhuang builds the house, I find someone, and then find a few men who understand crops, what else don't you understand?" Lin Kangping sat beside her and hugged her.

Next, I began to be busy sending New Year's gifts everywhere, there are Ziqing's mother's family, and the old man, in addition to things, Lin Kangping still gave them a hang of pocket money, "I took the eldest brother and the second brother together, there are many people, and we are going to give New Year's gifts, there are fish, meat, dried fruits, snacks and fabrics, and several neighbors are still pulling our things and sighing, the more Grandma wants to be eccentric, the more I have to block her speechless." ”

As for Ziqing's grandmother He and her two uncles, because Zifu and they didn't send it, they were all exempt from each other, and Lin Kangping didn't prepare anything. Ziqing only made a new silk dress for He's family, with a pattern of longevity, and Lin Kangping gave him five taels of silver pocket money and sent it personally.

Lin Kangping came back after sending the New Year's gift, and commanded everyone to clean up everywhere, and Xiaolan was responsible for the distribution of people's new clothes, the sorting of the warehouse, and the placement of things in each house.

Twenty-eight days of the lunar month, Wang Cai Wang Xi and the two rushed back, this year, factor Qing's idea, gave them half of the shop's shares, after a year of hard work, in addition to the dry goods in the sea, but also sell some dry goods in the mountains, the shop has a surplus of about five hundred taels this year, they each got twenty-five taels of silver, but also smiling.
