The New Year is approaching, and all families have begun to prepare for the New Year, and the 98 sub-market is very lively when they catch up with the market, and the business of Guan Wen's wine shop and fur shop is also very hot, and the guys are busy and dizzy.

But the better the business, the happier they are, and it's time for the Chinese New Year, which means that they can get what the owner distributes at the end of the year, and it's no problem to have a good New Year.

Guan Wen sat with his legs open, with white breath in his mouth, but his hands did not stop, still carefully and seriously calculating something. A thick stack of ledgers was piled up on his left hand, and the inkstone resting above his right hand was full of ink.

Yang'er stood aside, holding an account book in his hand and looking at it carefully.

"Dad, I don't see a problem with this account." Yang Er said: "I remember every stroke very clearly, it should be no problem." ”

Guan Wen didn't raise his head, just nodded and said, "You make a mark, I won't read this book later." After a pause, Guan Wen asked him, "This is the account book over there?" ”

"It's the account book in one of his small shops that Uncle Shen asked his father to take care of." Yang'er said: "The profit and loss are similar to those of previous years, and the shopkeeper of that shop is an honest man, and he will not report false accounts." ”

Guan Wen nodded, put down his pen and sighed: "It's going to be the New Year, and I don't know if your Fourth Uncle Shen will come back." ”

"It should be, isn't everyone spreading that Fourth Uncle Shen's eldest brother is going to be promoted? With such a happy event, presumably Fourth Uncle Shen will also come back to congratulate his eldest brother. ”

Guan Wen smiled, stood up and patted Yang'er's shoulder: "I've been reading the account books here for a morning, are you tired?" Let's go down and rest for lunch. ”

Yang'er agreed, and Guan Wen asked him, "Do you still have to go to the school hall later?" ”

Yang'er nodded: "I still have to go and bring back some books that are left over there, Chen Zhong said that during the New Year, everyone was busy at home, and there was no time to come out to meet, so I planned to get together with a few classmates in the afternoon." ”

Guan Wen nodded: "That's fine, friendship with classmates is rare, and there is no harm in communicating with friends more." ”

Yang'er smiled: "Yes." ”

"Listening to your tone, you and the young master of the Wen family are very close?" Guan Wen smiled: "When will you also invite your classmates and friends to come to the house as guests?" When the time comes, let your mother order someone to give them a whole table of delicious food to entertain them. Since sending you to the Wen Family Academy, you have rarely brought your friends home, and your mother is still worried that you won't be able to make friends in the academy, so she is worried about you. ”

Yang'er blushed suddenly.

He was embarrassed to tell Guan Wen because he felt that he was not his father's own son, and it was troublesome for him to bring his classmates and friends home as guests, so although he had been to several classmates' homes, he had hardly brought his friends home. Now that Guan Wen took the initiative to mention it, Yang'er was a little surprised.

Guan Wen laughed twice: "In my opinion, the year before was a good time." When you get together tomorrow, you can set a day for them to come to your house. ”

Yang'er nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Here, Guan Wen is reading the account books, and over there, Li Xin is also summarizing the expenses of the family in the past year. Counting what was earned and what was spent, there was a considerable amount of silver in the account books, and the expenses of the family were not much, all of which were planned.

Li Xin smiled at Qingya with relief: "It's good not to spend money indiscriminately, and when the time comes, I will give you more rewards." ”

Qingya smiled: "The slave maid thanked Madame for them first."

Li Xin took Liang'er and hugged her in her arms and patted her, kissed her son's little face and said with a smile: "I give it every year, but this year is just a lot of happy events in the family, and there is nothing to thank or not thank." I hope that next year, everyone will still do their own work and do their own things well. It's stronger than anything else. ”

was talking to Qingya and came in holding Duchun's hand, and when he saw someone else, he walked over step by step with his steps, and saluted Li Xin in a proper manner: "Is my mother busy?" ”

Li Xin smiled and said in his heart: This kid is really a ghost. waved and said, "Mother is not busy now, why did you and your brother come over?" ”

Youyou ran to Li Xin's side, wanting to rub into Li Xin's arms, but when she saw her younger brother nested in her mother's arms, she was not jealous and angry, and raised her face to Li Xin and said, "Mother, the second brother painted a picture for me just now, but it looks good." ”

Li Xin looked at Duchun in surprise and smiled softly, "What did Dui Chun draw?" Let me see it too, okay? ”

Twilight smiled shyly, and the other hand behind her back moved forward, clutching a scroll of drawing paper.

Twilight Chun held the drawing paper in both hands and handed it to Li Xin, Li Xin asked the fruit to hold Liang'er, took the drawing paper with her own hands, and slowly unfolded it.

Youyou took the opportunity to get into Li Xin's arms, and his little head was nested in Li Xin's shoulder socket: "Mother, look at the painting drawn by the second brother." This is the mountain, this is the water, this is the fish, this is the tree, this is me and the second brother! ”

After all, Twilight Spring is young, basically there is no painting style, and the landscapes, flowers and birds painted are just a few simple sketches, far from reaching the kind of situation that you say "can be good-looking". Although the painting is not very good, it can be seen that Twilight Spring has painted it seriously, because it takes a lot of work to color and fill the back.

So Li Xin also praised and said: "The painting is very beautiful, and the twilight spring is really amazing." ”

Twilight blushed suddenly, and shy whispered, "Thank you, Mother." ”

After all, it was the first work of late spring, and Li Xin called Qingya and said: "Send this painting to the painting shop and let the painting master frame it." ”

Hearing this, Twilight Chun hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no...... Li Xin smiled: "Frame, this is the first painting of Duchun, and when Duchun grows up, this painting is a memory of Duchun's childhood." How about your mother put away all the memories you had when you were a child? ”

Yoyo nodded quickly: "I know, I know!" Mother! Just like the mud doll that Big Brother and Brother Kang put together, it's also a memory of their childhood, right? ”

Li Xin nodded and kissed Youyou's face: "It's so smart!" ”

Laughing leisurely, his bright eyes looked at Du Chun: "Second brother, just frame the painting, in the future, the second brother will definitely be able to paint better paintings and become a great painter!" ”

Twilight's face turned even redder, and Li Xin stood up and took his hand with a smile: "It's not early, my mother went to the kitchen to see how the food was prepared." ”

Youyou hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, my mother should go to the kitchen to have a look." ”

Li Xin looked down at Youyou and whispered, "You are not allowed to eat secretly...... No one else has it. "Youyou's eyes rolled, but he didn't look at Li Xin. This is a sign of her weak heart.

The child is very shy in front of strangers and never talks much, but he talks a lot around people close to him, and he likes to talk to people, but he doesn't make people feel embarrassed. Twilight listens to it and echoes it, and then the two little people laugh together.

Since Aunt Cui spoke to Duchun, Li Xin obviously felt that Duchun's mood was better, and those who only ate half a bowl of rice on weekdays can now eat a bowl of rice, and there are more smiles on their faces, and they will not have nothing to say to the people next to them. Although he was still not very close to her and Guan Wen, Li Xin thought that in time, Duchun would regard this place as his own home.

Lunch is used by the family, Guan Wen and Li Xin are the parents, the three children who can already eat by themselves are sitting, Liang'er is held by the fruit and follows Li Xin, Li Xin will feed Liang'er some supplementary food while eating.

There has never been a rule of "eating without speaking" when dining at home, Li Xin only requires that he can't open his mouth to speak when eating, and he can talk after chewing and swallowing the food in his mouth, so everyone at the dinner table also chatted without a word.

Youyou was asking Yang'er: "Big brother is going out to party with his classmates in the afternoon, can you bring some glutinous rice balls from North Street back for Youyou to eat?" Oh, and the second brother has to eat too. ”

Yang'er laughed and said, "If you want to eat, you can also pull the twilight spring." ”

Yoyo pouted: "Then do you want to help Yoyo?" ”

Yang'er shook his head: "No." ”

"Why?"

"You're teething, and my mother said she wouldn't give you too many sweets." Yang Er replied solemnly.

Youyou was very frustrated, and asked Li Xin pitifully: "Mother, can you eat a small bowl of Youyou?" Small half bowl······ Okay, just eat five small glutinous rice cakes, is it okay to eat five? ”

Li Xin wanted to laugh when she saw her bargaining appearance, and was about to speak, but Cao's mother lifted a thick cloth curtain from outside and walked in the door, saying, "Master, madam, the old man in the side courtyard is sick again." ”

Guan Wen smiled at the corner of his mouth, and when he heard Cao's mother say this, the smile on the corner of his mouth stared.

Li Xin also forgot the original intention of talking about herself, and pursed her lips and looked at Guan Wen.

Guan Wen lowered his eyes and said, "Let's find the doctor first to see what's going on, and then I'll go over and take a look after I've eaten." ”

Cao's mother hesitated a little and quietly looked at Li Xin's side, Li Xin nodded at her, and Cao's mother retreated.

Guan Wen didn't take two more bites and put down his chopsticks, Yang'er naturally knew who was in the courtyard, but Guan Wen and Li Xin didn't speak, and he didn't speak, so he simply didn't speak. Twilight doesn't quite understand these things, and he never picks topics, so he is silent.

Youyou didn't get Li Xin's permission, and seeing that everyone didn't speak, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and pouted and said, "Mother, you haven't agreed to Youyou......"

"It's not good to eat sweets, and if your teeth are ugly in the future, you won't be beautiful." Li Xin explained softly and said, "If you want to eat glutinous rice balls, my mother will make them for you, so don't bother your eldest brother to buy them for you." Even if you buy it back, it will be cold on such a cold day, and it will be even more sticky and not delicious.

Youyou said: "That mother will make it for Youyou to eat...... There is also a second brother. ”

Li Xin nodded. She never puts too much sugar in her sweets.

She was basically full, so she also stopped chopsticks and asked Qingya to feed Liang'er instead of her. Looking at Guan Wen, Li Xin said, "Let's go over and take a look." ”RS
