Chapter 191: Chinese New Year
On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, early in the morning, Shu Qingai asked people to move hundreds of pounds of flour to the river dam, make noodles with those women, and roll out dumpling skins. The chatting of the old people and the joyful slapstick of the children made this originally calamitous and difficult year a joyful one.
In a large stove made of two dozen large stones, a large iron pot borrowed from the village and the victims of the disaster, was steaming with thick bone broth.
The delicious soup soaked the taste buds of everyone present, and in this winter, everyone did not feel that it was so cold today.
During the few months on the dam, most of the victims were happy.
With the food that Shu Qing loves to send, as well as the gurgling spring water, although he is not at home, this great drought brings everyone together here, and it is also a great fate to unite together.
And today's tranquility, everyone silently feels Shu Qing's love in their hearts.
A large pot of dumplings is put into the pot, and the children clap their hands and rejoice, waiting for the big dumplings that everyone will have later! The adults lined up to get bowls while looking at the smoke, while smelling the smell of meat and constantly drooling.
These more than 100 pigs were also bought by Shu Qingai more than half a month ago. Those pig farms are basically unable to raise these animals anymore, so after today's meat, these victims still want to eat meat, I don't know when they have to wait.
Finally, the fat dumplings came to the surface in the boiling cauldron, and the women filled the bowls of the victims in line for a full night, turned around, and poured a scoop of bone broth and a large bone with meat in the big bone broth pot.
The victims were carrying steaming bowls and smiling as they walked to their sheds.
In order to let the victims eat this New Year's meal, Shu Qingai also prepared for a long time. Seeing the big guy talking and laughing with a bowl and eating dumplings in a big gulp, Shu Qingai showed a touch of relief on his face!
Who doesn't love money? No matter how much money she earns, she can't spend it alone, when all that silver can help these victims, Shu Qing has never had great pride in her love!
"Girl, let's go back, the meal is ready."
Shu Qingai, who was standing outside the courtyard gate, looked at the victims on the river dam, and when she was in a trance, the quiet voice came from her ears.
She nodded, and entered the courtyard with Qingyu.
Over there in the workshop, today is also eating dumplings, the big guys are talking and laughing, and they don't feel sad because they didn't celebrate the New Year in their own homes, but everyone has a feeling of luck!
After all, this year, if they hadn't met Shu Qingai, they wouldn't know where to wander now.
Only the village chief looked a little gloomy.
Qian also came to help make dumplings today, but after she was almost busy, Shu Qingai packed two or three catties for her and asked her to take home to cook. At this time, Dongzi was also brought home by his old age.
As soon as Shu Qingai entered the workshop, he watched everyone eat happily with bowls.
After giving Qingyou a look, Qingyou took out a purse from a basket in turn, and sent it when he saw someone. After all, the people who can return here are the families of those who have been injured.
When everyone saw that Shu Qingai even gave a New Year's red envelope, they didn't know what to do for a while!
If you want to say, they took the silver taels compensated by Shu Qingai, and they also invited a doctor to treat them, how can they still have a New Year's red envelope?
"Shu Niangzi, what are you doing here? I'm already embarrassed, if you do this again, I have to drag this jump and break my leg back. ”
When the village chief saw the red envelope handed in front of him by Qingyou, he said that he was unwilling to take it. looked at Shu Qingai with a somewhat embarrassed face, and her face and ears were red.
"Village chief, isn't this the New Year? Everybody has it. ”
Shu Qingai explained simply, and then signaled for Qingyou to continue.
In the end, the village chief still didn't answer, Qingyou directly stuffed the red envelope under his pillow for him, and then spoke again.
"It's the New Year, this is a piece of my girl's heart, please don't shirk."
Shu Qingai left, and the village chief looked a little lonely. His home is in Xinghua Village, but is that home still called home?
Back in the house, Uncle Zhou on Zhuangzi and his family waited in the courtyard outside the hall, and when they saw Shu Qingai coming back, everyone got up respectfully and saluted Shu Qingai.
Looking at the family, they all deliberately put on new clothes today, with a happy face, it seems that Shu Qingai has just felt some New Year's flavor.
Shu Qingai sat on the top, came to recognize and greet Shu Qingai in turn, and stood quietly and congratulatorily on the left and right, and Yanran also looked like a big family head. Originally, Shu Qingai didn't cut into these rules, but after a quiet reminder, Shu Qingai was absolutely necessary.
After all, in the future, their own wine workshop will only get bigger and bigger, and there will only be more and more people who will buy it back.
Everyone said auspicious words in turn, because Zhou Bo was the oldest, and Shu Qingai gave the largest red envelope.
* With a thin red envelope, I felt a burst of excitement in my heart.
They know that the more weightless the red envelope, the more silver it contains.
"This year is also the first year we have spent together, and I hope you will continue to do your duty well in the coming year, and I will not treat you badly."
After a few words of simple encouragement, Shu Qingai asked everyone to eat.
Uncle Zhou took his children to eat outside the hall, and Shu Qingai ate in the hall with Qingyou Gongxi, such a lively year, Shu Qingai was the first in his past and present life.
Chun Tao, who was sitting in the courtyard, saw that she was sitting in a position with her back to the hall inside, so she couldn't help but quietly take out the red envelope that Shu Qingai had rewarded in her arms and opened it.
couldn't help but see the eyes of the family on her hands.
A thin piece of paper was really in it, and the two sisters-in-law couldn't help but stretch their necks, wanting to see how much silver Chun Tao's red envelope contained, but when Chun Tao carefully took out the silver ticket, her face was full of confusion.
She can't read, how much silver is this!
However, the main family gives red envelopes to the subordinates, but they are all directly silver ingots, and this silver ticket is not a housekeeper or the like, so it is impossible at all.
"Give it to me, sister-in-law will help you see it."
Zhou Dagang's daughter-in-law Chang Li was sold to Qianfu as a maid since she was a child, and she can be regarded as a person in the room, seeing her sister-in-law's face full of doubts, she hurriedly leaned into her ear and whispered.
Chun Tao handed the silver ticket to Chang Li in a concealed manner, and suddenly Chang Li's mouth grew in surprise!
She lowered her head again, she couldn't see Shu Qingai, and immediately opened her red envelope! Sure enough, there are as many as my sister-in-law! Fifty taels!
This is unthinkable in Qianfu! I didn't expect them to have such a blessing in their lives and meet such a generous master!
"What are you doing! There are no rules at all, and I don't put them away! ”
Zhou Bo looked at the appearance of a table of children, and couldn't help but scold in a low voice, in fact, if you take a closer look, it is not difficult to see that Zhou Bo has excitement on his face.
They are the current people, even if they don't give money and only work, they have to go, after all, they are all bought by others with silver, but Shu Qingai not only gives them monthly wages, but also gives them new clothes, and this New Year also gives such a big red envelope!
The more he thought about it, Zhou Bo couldn't help but stretch out his hand and quietly pinched the red envelope in his purse!
In the afternoon, Shu Qingai took the red envelope to Zhou Dahai's house again, Qiu was still lying on the bed to raise the fetus, and when she was bored, she saw Shu Qingai coming and hurriedly asked her to sit down.
"Sister-in-law looks good!"
As soon as Shu Qingai entered Qiu's room and looked at Qiu's happy face, she couldn't help but tease.
"Heh, you just joke with me, Chun'er Xiang'er quickly move a stool for your aunt."
When Qiu's words fell, the two girls smiled and moved the stool to Shu Qingai's bedside. Shu Qingai looked at the two delightful girls, smiled and broke down twice, and then took out two red envelopes and stuffed them into them.
Chun'er and Xiang'er saw each other and hurriedly thanked them!
Touching the things in her diaphragm, Xiang'er couldn't help but open it.
"Oops, it's beautiful! It's still golden! ”
Xiang'er was overjoyed, holding the pair of golden butterfly earrings in her hand, and her eyebrows were full of pity!
Chun'er endured and endured, and when she saw such beautiful earrings in her sister's hand, she still couldn't hold back, and opened her red envelope, which also contained a pair of golden earrings.
Unlike her sister, she has a pair of rose earrings, which Chun'er likes.
Seeing this, Qiu hurriedly reproached Shu Qingai.
"How can you buy them such a valuable gift! The two little girls are taken out here, and they must not be coaxed. ”
Shu Qingai smiled, "Girls, you have to be spoiled like this, who told me to like them?" ”
Although Shu Qingai is not a few years older than the two sisters, Shu Qingai's actual age is in her heart. I can't help it, with the eyes of a woman in my thirties, I look at the two girls with pity.
What else can Qiu Shi say, after letting the two girls say hello to Shu Qingai, the two chatted for a while.
"Sister-in-law, are you still separating now? I've really convinced you, what a big deal? You have just fallen into that Zhou Zhang's scheme, you are impulsive, why are you more stubborn than me! ”
Thinking of the book Qiu took out that day, Shu Qingai couldn't help but want to say a few words about her.
Qiu is illiterate, and even if his daughter teaches her to recognize a few, she can't write. Thinking of the letter and the handwriting of Chun'er, Shu Qingai was not angry when she looked at Qiu.
"Hehe, what else are you leaving? It's all there again! Don't leave, don't leave. ”
Qiu Shi looked embarrassed and said again and again.
Shu Qingai rolled her eyes at her, "It's really yours, how can you be a mother like this, let your daughter help write and leave the book, you are really a cow." ”
