In the evening, Xu Shiyan and Ji Tongzhong drove back, and the family set off firecrackers and ate dumplings lively, and spent the New Year together.

Most of the people in the south celebrate the New Year on the 24th day of the lunar month, so Su Anying directly gave the workers a day off.

From the 25th of the lunar month, the factory does not need to work overtime.

Workers can rest in shifts, and the factory just needs to keep it running.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the factory counted and calculated,

This year's total sales reached 70 million, and the factory went out tens of millions of goods during the year alone.

There is a long queue of transport cars at the gate of the factory, and they can go as far as they can.

Health care products are highly profitable, with more than 70 million sales, which is a lot of money.

And the most powerful thing is that the payment has not been pressed a penny, and it has been settled.

This is also normal, now Jishengyuan's product market sales are hot, and consumers are queuing up to buy it.

Dealers are eager to take cash to order, for fear that they will not be able to share too many goods with less money, and they will not be able to sell enough when they go back.

What is the pressure payment, first sell and then settle? That's non-existent.

All of them are paid in advance, and as soon as the goods are sent away, the balance will be settled immediately.

In the first year of the new factory, the investment was also very large.

So don't look at the sales are so high, the profits are also very large, but there are many places to spend money everywhere.

So most of the funds were kept on the books for next year's development, and the two companies shared three million each.

After the inventory was completed and the accounts were settled, Xu Shiyan and Su Anying went back to Yangcheng to accompany their children for the New Year.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the factory was on holiday, except for the guards, fire departments and other departments on duty, the rest of the workers went home for the New Year.

The holiday is from the 29th of the lunar month to the fifth day of the first month, and the production officially starts on the sixth day of the first month.

On the Zhencao Hall side, only Chinese New Year's Eve afternoon is closed during the Spring Festival, and the doors open at 10 a.m. from the first to the sixth day of the new year.

During the Chinese New Year, go to relatives and friends, who doesn't bring some gifts.

What's the best thing to bring now? That is naturally Jishengyuan's health care products.

The purpose of opening a store is to make money, and Su Anfen is not a fool, so it is impossible to miss such a good opportunity.

Of course, you can't let all the clerks come during the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, from the first day of junior high school to the sixth day of junior high school, the clerks worked one day and took two days off, and from the seventh day of junior high school, they all came back to work.

Everyone else can have a holiday, but Su Anfen definitely doesn't have a holiday.

Fortunately, Ji Tongzhong doesn't have anything to do if he doesn't go to work, Ji Hongliang is also here, and the family lives in the backyard of Zhencaotang, so they don't care about that.

Xu Shiqin's garment factory will take a holiday directly after the New Year.

Han Liwei's unit is not particularly busy for the New Year, everyone has made an appointment, and they will all come to Zhencaotang for the Chinese New Year's Eve and spend it together.

So on the thirtieth day, Zhencaotang is lively.

The man led the boys, and on the windows, doors, and shelves in the backyard of the store, there were many strings of lights of all kinds.

Even the two trees in the courtyard were wrapped with colorful string lanterns, and small lanterns made of ribbons and colored paper were hung.

Couplets and door gods were pasted on the doors, couplets and blessing characters were also pasted on the doors of the house, and window grilles were pasted on all windows.

The whole children's yard is lit up with lights and festive, and it is full of festive atmosphere.

The women are busy in the kitchen, frying and frying to make a variety of dishes.

Compared with the Northeast, the materials here are obviously more abundant.

There are all kinds of fresh vegetables and vegetables, as well as all kinds of live fish, live shrimp, crabs, etc., which were all unthinkable in the Northeast before.

It's rare for everyone to celebrate the New Year here, so you must prepare a little more hearty, and what you usually can't eat is prepared this time.

It doesn't matter if the approach is authentic or not, as long as you like it.

Everyone was busy until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sumptuous reunion dinner was put on the table, and everyone sat down.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I have to take a picture, and let my grandpa and my grandmother see it when I go back."

Xu Haiyuan put up the camera, let everyone sit down, and then set up a time-lapse shooting and took a photo with everyone.

Then, I took a picture of the food on the table.

"I can see it, you haven't learned anything else, your dad's love to play with cameras, you can learn very quickly."

Su Anying looked at her son fiddling with the camera, and couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

"Okay, hurry up and sit down to eat, I've been busy for most of the day, and I'm hungry."

Su Anying saw that her son didn't mean to sit down, so she hurriedly greeted him.

"Wait, I'll call my grandfather."

Xu Haiyuan didn't sit down to eat in a hurry, but picked up the phone.

"Grandpa, it's me, Yuanyuan, have you eaten? What to eat today? ”

After a while, the phone was connected, and Xu Haiyuan chatted with Xu Chenghou as soon as he heard Xu Chenghou's voice over there.

"Yo, it's my eldest grandson.

The meal is ready, I haven't eaten yet, your grandmother and your aunts have made a lot of food.

There are chickens, ducks, fish and meat, and there is a big table full of them. Grandson, have you eaten? ”

Xu Chenghou was happy when he heard his grandson's movements.

"No, it's all the dishes on the table, and I'll eat it right away.

I missed grandpa, so I called him. ”

At this time, Xu Jinping, Xu Jinhui, and Xu Haiqing all came over, and they all rushed to call grandpa.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Guilan heard that it was her grandchildren calling, and she quickly snatched the phone and chatted with her grandchildren.

"You guys have fun over there, you don't have to worry about your family.

Your uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, and fifth uncle are all back for the New Year, and you don't have to worry about me and your grandfather.

That, today's New Year, the reunion dinner should be eaten more, and it is good to eat well.

Do you want to make dumplings at night? Tell your mom, you must remember to put money in the dumplings, and look at the few of you, who eats more money. ”

The children have never left their grandparents since they were young, and they call back every night after they come here.

As for the three old people in the family, they are also thinking about it all day long, chattering all the time, and looking forward to their grandchildren calling back every day.

On both ends of the phone, there are families of all ages, and it is not possible to see each other from such a distance, and it is good to be able to listen to the movement.

"Grandpa, grandma, master, that meal is ready, let's eat first, otherwise it will all be cold."

I'll call you again in the evening. ”

The children chatted with their grandparents for a few words, and when they saw that the food on the table was about to be cold, they hung up the phone and sat down to eat.

Xu Shiyan and the others didn't move their chopsticks until the children sat down, and then they beckoned the children to eat.

It's the New Year, although I didn't celebrate the New Year in my hometown this year, but ran thousands of miles away, so it has to be lively.

The men drank and the women and children drank.

The big guys poured their glasses and touched them together to celebrate the New Year.

Even Han Zhenlin and Han Yu, the two little guys, clumsily held the cups and swayed and touched everyone.

Fortunately, there were few drinks poured in their cups, so they finally didn't spill out.

The two babies were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, "Happy New Year, cheers." ”

Han Yu didn't know who to learn from, so while clinking glasses, he came up with such a sentence.

"Yes, Happy New Year, cheers." Everyone laughed.

Xu Shiyan also specially touched Han Yu again, and then took a sip of wine.

When Han Yu saw it, he also brought the cup to his mouth and took a big sip.

A group of northeasterners celebrate the New Year in the south, and it is unlikely that they will follow the customs, and it is still how to celebrate the New Year at home, and it is the same here.

If nothing else, the dumplings must be wrapped.

So after eating the reunion dinner, the women began to chop meat, vegetables, and noodles.

At six o'clock, all the string lights in and outside the courtyard were plugged in, and the colorful lanterns set off the small courtyard like a dream and beautiful.

After the cartoon was played, the party had not yet started, and there was no good show.

The children don't have many friends here, not like they are in their hometown, and they all run out in groups at this time.

The house was bored, so the children simply took the firecrackers to the yard and lit them, and the sound of tinkling firecrackers revealed the joy and blessings of the New Year.

The courtyard originally had two dogs and a few cats.

These days, especially after Han Zhenlin and Han Yu came, dogs and cats were tortured.

Nowadays, as long as the children play in the yard, the dogs will directly retract into the nest and simply do not come out.

The cats, too, have long been hiding and not giving the children a chance to see them.

The two dogs were puppies of the year, and they didn't have much knowledge, and when the sound of the cannon fire rang out, the dogs were so frightened that they hid in the den and couldn't come out.

This movement is too terrifying, but I don't dare to go out.

At eight o'clock, the party started on time, and the children who were chattering outside all went back to the house and sat down to watch TV.

As for Xu Shiqin and Su Anying, they had already moved the table and panel to the living room, and stood at the table to roll out the skin and make dumplings.

While wrapping up, Su Anying muttered.

"I'll just say, it's just inconvenient in the south, not even a kang.

If this is in our house, sitting on the hot kang and watching TV while making dumplings, how energetic is it? ”

Northeast people are accustomed to working on the kang, and they feel all kinds of inconveniences when they come out.

"Well, isn't it? Anyway, I've been here for so long, and I'm not used to it.

There is a kang in our northeast, which is really comfortable. When Su Anfen heard this, she nodded hurriedly.

No way, as a Northeasterner, those customs are engraved in my bones, and I really feel all kinds of inconvenience when I come out.

The living habits of the north and the south are different, and the food culture is very different, and this is really not something that can be changed in a short period of time.

Northerners are not used to coming to the South, and Southerners are not used to going to the North.

People, if it's not for the sake of eating, who wants to leave their hometown and run a long way?

However, with the development and change of the times, the north also began to live in buildings, and the fire kang gradually became the warmth of people's memory.

Su Anying and the others were making dumplings and chatting at the same time.

These people are now also different, and they are no longer the housewives they used to be.

The topic of conversation has also changed from a short time for parents to a business matter.

The garment factory opened by Xu Shiqin here has good benefits, and it has just finished settling accounts a few days ago.

When the garment factory was first built, Xu Shiyan and his wife invested a part of the money, accounting for 30% of the shares, and this time the dividend was more than 500,000 yuan.

In the past few months since the opening of Yangcheng Zhencaotang, the turnover of the store has been very good, including wholesale and retail, with tens of thousands of turnover a day.

Since the agency of Jishengyuan's health care products, the income has increased exponentially.

As the store manager, Su Anfen has a percent dry share, so this year's harvest is also very large.

Of course, it is Su Anying who makes the most money.

The income of various factories, stores, and companies is added together, and Su Anying will have to be millions more this year.

This is still the health care product factory and Zhen Caotang are in the initial stage, and the investment is relatively large, waiting for the development of next year to be stable and more profitable.

"Think about it, Xiao Ji and I were busy in the fields all year round, that is, eating and eating all year round.

How could you have imagined that there would be a time to make so much money?

Second sister, thanks to your and second brother-in-law's help, otherwise we won't be able to earn this year's money even if we are busy all our lives. ”

Su Anfen said with emotion while working.

"Ahem, what are you talking about?

We are sisters, so my stall is too big and no one can help, can I still find outsiders to go? I can't trust outsiders.

There is no need to talk about this in your own family, as long as you two work hard, the days of earning money are still ahead.

You save a little more money and cultivate Liangliang well.

In the future, if he gets admitted to a good university, finds a good job, and marries a daughter-in-law, won't the task of this life be completed? ”

Su Anying's action of making dumplings in her hand did not stop, she just smiled.

Who's family is living a good life and doesn't bring a belt of brothers and sisters?

Besides, this is not money for nothing, whether it is Ji Tongzhong or Nan Zhendong, they have all made great efforts to help, and it is natural to give corresponding remuneration.

So what? If you look for an outsider, can you still give money? I guess I'll have to give more.

No matter how much you give, you can't catch up with your family's intimacy.

"No matter what you say, a few of us have followed the second sister and the second brother-in-law."

Su Anfen had already understood that several of their sisters, and even the Su family, were all following the second sister and the second brother-in-law.

The third sister and her family, if it weren't for the help of the second brother-in-law, they would have been able to come out of the countryside, and now one is in Yangcheng and the other is in the capital? Dreaming.

Without the help of her second brother-in-law, her father would be able to find a job at such an old age?

Look at the gate rain and rain and pay off leisure, a lot of monthly salary, when don't you want to retire and have a pension, how good?

There are also the fifth and sixth children, both of whom are now section leaders, and their wages are not low.

The fifth brother-in-law is the deputy director of the health care products factory, and the sixth brother-in-law is the manager of the sales department of the participating company, and the future is bright.

If it weren't for the help of the second sister and the second brother-in-law, it is estimated that the fifth and sixth would have found someone to marry, and there would never be today's situation.

"Alas, it's a trivial matter whether it's polished or not.

I thought, you are in Yangcheng, the third is in the capital, and the fifth brother will follow the fifth brother-in-law after the year.

A few of us sisters, now there are all over the world.

At the beginning, I was thinking about getting you all to Donggang, and our sisters are all by your parents' side, so we can take good care of our parents.

It's good now, my parents stayed in Donggang and we all came out. What can the old couple do in the future? ”

Su Anying said and spoke, her heart was not very good, and she stopped making dumplings.

"Alas, yes, my father and mother are getting older and older, and there is no one around to take care of them, so I am not at ease."

Su Anfen was also stunned when she heard this, and sighed.

Maybe this is the benefit of raising a son, the old man is old and must be with his children and grandchildren.

It doesn't matter how good or bad life is, there is always someone around to take care of it.

"Otherwise, when I have a chance in the future, I will discuss with my father and mother and take them over?"

Su Anfen thought about it, and it seemed that this method was okay.

"I'm here, the fifth sister will also come over after the New Year, and the second sister will have to come over for a few months in the future.

If Mom and Dad are willing, I live here close to the fifth child and can take care of it a little. ”

Su Anying raised her head and looked out the window, "Wait to go back and ask your father what she means." ”

When Su Anying's sisters were talking about their father, thousands of miles away in the northeast, Su Weizhong and his wife were sitting on the kang, making dumplings and chattering.

"In the past, they came over a few times in the evening of the thirtieth year, and it was quite interesting to make a fuss.

This year, the children have gone to the south for the New Year, why do they feel so cold and panicked? ”

Han Chae-e muttered while kneading the dough.

"Yes, there is no movement of any child in this family, just the two of us, how can we not be cold and panic?"

Su Weizhong stopped rolling the skin and sighed.

"Look at the in-laws, they have many sons, and the Shiyan family has gone to the south, and there are four other sons.

Let's be good, six girls, which one of these New Year's Holidays must not be spent at her mother-in-law's house?

But why don't you just look at me and I look at you? ”

What Su Weizhong is looking forward to most in his life is to have a son, but unfortunately, he doesn't have this life.

It's just a normal time, and every time I come to this New Year's holiday, I really panic.

"Come on, don't talk about those useless things, who told us that we don't have that life.

Let's work, hurry up and wrap dumplings, send paper early, and go to bed early if there's nothing to do. ”

Compared with the Su family, which only has two old people and is deserted, the Xu family's side is lively.

The four brothers of the Xu family all came back with their daughters-in-law and children for the New Year, and the people in this room were laughing and laughing, not to mention how lively they were.

However, Xu Chenghou is still not used to it.

I always feel that the children of the third family are missing, especially Xu Haiqing's living treasure, without him in front of him, I feel as if something is missing.

"I don't know, what happened to the third child's family in Yangcheng.

At this time, do you also make dumplings? ”

Xu Chenghou sat on the kang, his eyes were watching TV, and he couldn't help but fill a bag of cigarettes in his hand, and smoked it.

"I must be making dumplings, we Northeast people, we can't forget dumplings wherever we go."

A few leather children, I don't know if I can adapt to it over there. ”

Chu Xuanhuai, who was sitting opposite Xu Chenghou, couldn't help but sigh.

Compared with Xu Chenghou, Chu Xuanhuai was more worried about Xu Haiyuan and them.

Chu Xuanhuai treats Xu Haiyuan and them as if they were his own grandsons, and the children of the Xu family are also very good, but after all, they don't have much affection.

When the family is reunited, the children are not in front of them, and they feel empty in their hearts.

The two old men looked at each other, and both shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

When Xu Shiyan discussed with them, they were too troublesome and refused to follow them to the south.

At this time, to be honest, both old men regretted it a little in their hearts.

"They won't stay in the south for a few days, and at most they will have to go back on the seventh day of the new year.

The children have to come back to class, and the third child has to come back to work. ”

Xu Chenghou finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, knocked the cigarette bag and pot, and came back with such a sentence.

I don't know whether to comfort Chu Xuanhuai or myself.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of homes are lit up, whether in the south or in the north, every household celebrates the New Year with laughter and laughter.

At nine o'clock, Su Anying and the others wrapped the dumplings.

This is not in the Northeast, and the dumplings cannot be served outside to be frozen, so they can only be sent to the kitchen for storage.

Let's discuss, it's better to boil water and prepare to cook dumplings, and don't wait until eleven o'clock.

If you're in a foreign land, you can't be as particular about it as you are at home.

Especially this is the three families who get together to celebrate the New Year, and the procedures for sending paper and worshipping ancestors are also saved.

It's better to cook dumplings early and finish eating, children can play more if they want to play, and go to bed early if they are sleepy.

Besides, Han Liwei still has something to do tonight, he has to go down the company to comfort the soldiers.

At around 9:40, the kitchen began to cook dumplings, and Xu Shiyan and the others led the children out to set off firecrackers.

A few years ago, the three families bought fireworks, for fear that the children would have fewer things to play with, so they all took them out and took a look, good guys, there are a lot of them on the ground.

I bought everything, so I put it away, so I slipped on the ground and lit it one by one.

Now the courtyard is lively, and colorful fireworks take off and explode in mid-air.

There are also all kinds of artillery battles, clanging explosions.

Han Zhenlin slept in the afternoon, and he was not sleepy at this time, so he came out to watch the cannon.

This kid was very bold, and he was not afraid of such a big movement in the artillery battle, and he clapped his hands happily at the sight of those fireworks.

But the two dogs, frightened by the sound of firecrackers in the yard, hid in the den and shivered, wishing that their whole bodies were curled up in a ball.

It's time to put off such a big bunch of fireworks.

Only halfway through here, a shout came out of the house, beckoning them to come into the house and eat dumplings.

"Yes, put these first, and then we'll come out and put them after eating the dumplings later."

Han Liwei picked up Han Zhenlin, who was still unsatisfied, and coaxed him back to the house to eat dumplings.

"Your mother and your aunt have wrapped money in dumplings, and you can eat a few dollars tonight.

Our family Zhenlin is the most capable, and he will definitely be able to eat several. ”

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that there was still money in the dumplings, Han Zhenlin came to be capable, and immediately pulled his fingers and made a three.

"Three, I'm going to eat three." What he meant was to eat out three dollars.

"Well, three, our family Zhenlin is the most powerful, and we will definitely be able to eat three."

Han Liwei carried his son into the house and asked him to sit on a chair and wait to eat dumplings.

The dumplings for Chinese New Year's Eve are wrapped in several fillings, each of which is different, lace, wheat ears, and ingots.

Each one is packed with money, jujubes, sugar and other things, just to coax the children to eat more.

Xu Haiyuan is a few years old, and this trick can't fool them.

However, when the child is older, this meal is also large, and the meal that comes at three o'clock in the afternoon is hungry by this time.

So they all ate a lot of dumplings, and they also ate a lot of money, dates, and the like.

But it was Han Zhenlin, who was clamoring to eat three dollars, and he didn't eat anything for five dumplings, so he had to eat again if he was in a hurry.

When Su Anying saw this, she was afraid that her nephew would be overwhelmed, so she hurriedly found a few money and secretly stuffed it into dumplings.

"Come on, look at the dumplings that your aunt found for you, there must be money in them."

Su Anying put the dumplings stuffed with money in front of Han Zhenlin's eyes.

When Han Zhenlin heard this, he immediately grabbed the dumplings and bit them, and sure enough, he bit something hard.

"Money, money." Children don't know anything else, but money does.

At this time, Han Zhenlin was so happy, his eyes were round, and he didn't care about the remaining half of the dumplings, and he had to continue to look for dumplings with money.

Su Anying gave Xu Shiyan a look, and Xu Shiyan hurriedly clipped another one.

"Come, let's see if there is any money for this clip from the third uncle."

Han Zhenlin took it and took a bite, and sure enough, there was one, so he was happy.

Over there, Han Liwei also gave his son a clip, and Han Zhenlin really ate another money.

This little guy knows three numbers, and he can't count them if he has more.

Seeing that he had three dollars, the little guy was satisfied, and his stomach was full anyway, so he stopped clamoring to eat dumplings and went to play by himself.

Xu Shiqin painted a gourd in the same way, and coaxed her daughter to eat two dumplings with money.

Xiao Yu'er was also full now, and happily got off the table and played with her brother.
