Chapter 34: Not Bad Money

As time passed, An An had been ten months and had become more and more naughty.

In the past, she could still take him to play in his little bed, but now he is no longer satisfied with the small bed, he has begun to develop in other places.

Of course, she didn't just say that she just let him play on the cot, after he turned half a year old, she began to take him to the garden to play one after another, but there was still a fixed place.

Now, as he grows older and stronger, An An will slowly climb out from the place she fixed for him, and she is happy that he crawls everywhere, which is regarded as exercising his body.

And An An is also a smart child, and at the beginning when he crawls out, he will often watch her reaction, as if he is afraid of being banned.

When he found out that his mother was just smiling and watching him climb out, and that she wouldn't bring him back to a certain extent, he became more and more bold.

Later, as if after many experiments, he seemed to find a degree that was permissible, and as time passed, the range of activities he was able to move became larger and larger.

These times, Yang Xue has not given up teaching him to call Daddy, it may indeed be that the child has grown up, and she has been teaching for a long time, An An will occasionally call Daddy or Niang.

But that's also very rare, more often An An still likes to scream, and she can understand most of them, and she is also surprised.

In fact, in addition to her, Li Bokang often taught him to call him Daddy and Mother in front of An An, and sometimes, when he was empty, he would read some simple poems or the Three Character Sutra in front of him.

Maybe it's because he can understand, or because he's curious, in short, when An An read to him with Li Bokang, he was quite serious most of the time.

At the beginning, this also surprised her and Li Bokang for a long time, and it was only later that they slowly got used to it.

In addition to the two of them, even Chunyue, Shumo and the subordinates of the family occasionally tease An An, or teach him to speak and call people.

However, when they teased him, she or Li Bokang were in front of him.

Of course, more often than not, they will be like this in front of her, after all, Li Bokang is more majestic to them, and they are still a little afraid of him.

On this day, she could clearly hear An An calling her mother again.

Now every time she hears An An call her mother, she is still very excited, but she is not as surprised as when she heard him call her mother at the beginning.

The days passed quickly, and soon it was An's first birthday.

They have been in Miyang for almost two years, and after more than a year or two in the past, they are also familiar with some big families in Miyang.

So they don't plan to do it too badly for An'an's first birthday this year, no matter how much they have to set up a few tables, invite someone to have a meal and be happy.

They didn't think about taking advantage of the opportunity to make money, and now they are really not bad for money.

Originally, Miyang was a small place, and the place was poor, so they didn't actually spend too much money every month.

In addition, they also planted some vegetables and fruit trees at home, although the fruit trees are still small and have no harvest, but they still have vegetables and other things to eat.

Although it may not be enough for their family to eat, they can't buy too much outside, which can be regarded as a source saving.

In addition, they also raised some chickens at home, and now that these chickens have grown up, they will have some eggs to pick up every day, and they can save money again.

However, they don't eat chicken very often, and more often they come back from takeaway pork, and occasionally buy some fish or other kinds of meat to eat.

Also, she and Li Bokang are not picky people, as long as they can get by, so they can't spend too much.

Even if there is more An An now, but now An An is still young, and others have given a lot of toys or something, and more can't be hung up.

In addition, although the two of them will not treat An An as a child badly, they don't plan to raise him too delicately, so many An An's lives are not much different from ordinary children.

In this way, An An's expenses will not be too much.

Moreover, since An An was born and is now one year old, they have never invited a nurse or anything like that at home, nor have they specially invited someone to take care of An An, they are almost all done by herself.

In this way, the cost is even smaller, even if there are some things that you don't understand, isn't there also a sister-in-law of Chunhua who has given birth to a child at home.

And she and Li Bokang are not stupid people, don't they still be able to read books and know a lot of things from books.

If that doesn't work, they can go and ask someone else for advice, no.

All in all, for their family, the annual expenses are really not too big, and they are a drop in the bucket compared to their annual income.

Speaking of which, Li Bokang's monthly income is enough for them every month, and it will not seem to be tight.

Not to mention the 10,000 taels of dividends they get from Yipinju every year, which is enough for them.

So, they're really not bad for money now.

Therefore, this time they are going to hold a first birthday banquet for An An, it is really not to collect money, they just feel that they don't want to treat An An badly.

And this time An An's first birthday invitation, they didn't release the news too early, and they only sent letters to those who were good friends three days before An An's first birthday.

In addition to inviting people to eat this time, Yang Xue thought of the situation in Miyang, so she proposed to Li Bokang that they pay to buy some big pigs and come back, and go down one village and one town, which can be regarded as collecting some blessings for them An'an, and by the way, also let those people improve their lives.

Although this idea may sound a little whimsical, they are a small county, and there are only six villages, two towns and one county town in total, and there are only nine pigs.

Even if a pig is four taels of silver, nine heads are only less than forty taels of silver, and they are not short of that money now.

Besides, a pig costs less than four taels of silver, and thirty taels of silver may be enough.

At the beginning, Li Bokang felt a little bad, and felt that this was a bit too exciting.

But later, after Yang Xue told him, he finally agreed.

Yang Xue told him: If you calculate it carefully, this is much simpler and more convenient than them running a flowing water seat, and the most that can run a flowing water seat is that people close to the county will benefit, and people who are far away will not be able to eat it.

Although they didn't plan to hold a running water banquet in the first place, it can be regarded as a turning of the corner to take care of those who are not doing well.

Li Bokang understood what she meant, and he was not very good at refusing her, so in the end he agreed.
