Chinese New Year's Eve, Baiyun Village.

Early in the morning, the whole village is full of joy, and after breakfast, the villagers are busy cleaning, even if the living environment is simple, but everyone also cleans inside and out.

Subsequently, each family began to prepare sacrificial offerings to worship their ancestors.

The Song family had already completed these old examples as early as yesterday when the villagers rushed to the market, and now the family is sitting in the hall, busy making the final packaging for the New Year blessing bag.

Although the village only distributed meat to everyone two days ago, who would be afraid of too much meat?

If the previous division of meat was a public act, then the New Year blessing bags distributed today can be regarded as the common intention of the Song family and Xia Ning.

After all, as the head of the base, they should say a thing or two on such a major day, although even if the Song family no longer says anything, no one will say anything, but if it is really expressed, the feeling it will bring to the whole village is naturally different.

It took the family more than half an hour to pack all the Chinese New Year blessing bags.

"Alright, let's carry these baskets out first."

Mother Song commanded several gentlemen in the family to carry the basket containing the New Year blessing bag to the gate of the courtyard, and prepared to start distributing the blessing bags to the villagers when the meeting began.

"Mai Dong, is the table outside set up?"

Song Shaoqin also asked about his preparations, in addition to distributing New Year blessing bags today, they also have an important task, which is to write blessing characters on the spot and give them to everyone.

Originally, I planned to write it in advance and send it out directly today, but everyone felt that on-site writing could make people feel full of sincerity, because the villagers could see the process of writing blessing posts with their own eyes, which could be regarded as a fun.

After all, there are hundreds of households in Baiyun Village today, so ten people were selected as representatives of writing blessing characters.

And there are three representatives of the Song family: Song Shiyao, Song Anbang, and Song Shaoqin, the leaders of the base.

Although Song Shiyao and Song Anbang are military generals, they are also proficient in some literature and ink, and the father and son are not the kind of reckless men who can only fight and kill in the eyes of the world.

As for Song Shaoqin, not to mention, he is also a knowledgeable and talented champion, and he will only be better than his father and brother.

And Song Muyao in the second room is a little deficient in writing and ink, what he is most afraid of is writing with a brush, which is more uncomfortable than him killing people with a knife, and before everyone can speak, he will be the first to automatically go out.

As for Song Jingze, who only turned fourteen years old after the year, because he was still too young, he was not in the scope of consideration.

Of course, this matter is indispensable to the Wen family, the old man Wen and Wen Yan's father and son, plus the eldest grandson Wen Qingsong, and the Wen family has a representative, so Wen University did not participate.

Then there are Sun Xiucai and Bai Yufu, who are teachers in the academy, and today's Bai is not sending blessings as the Song family, but participating in activities as her own teacher.

The remaining two are the eldest grandson of Village Chief Li's family and Lin Wensheng, the original resident.

"Don't worry, second master, it's been prepared a long time ago."

Mai Dong responded with a smile, in addition to the tables and chairs, even the pen, ink and red paper were all prepared, and the ten representatives of them could just write directly.

Xia Ning on the side ordered, "Huzi, go and inform Village Chief Li to ring the gong." ”

They had greeted Village Chief Li and others in advance, and they could write as a representative to send blessings, and everyone naturally readily agreed, and now they are also ready here, and when they inform Village Chief Li, he will let people beat the gong to summon the whole village to gather.

The location is naturally at the gate of the Song family's compound.

Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the two sales teams have also closed down and rested, and they settled the earnings together last night.

In just three days, she earned one hundred and thirty-six taels of silver for the couplets she bought, and seven hundred and forty-three copper plates remained.

And Lao Lai's side also sold charcoal and textile cloth made in the village at the same time, and put forty-seven taels of silver into the public account of the base, of course, the bulk must be on charcoal.

The woven linen cloth was sold to ordinary people, and the charcoal Lao Lai directly approached the rich families in the town, so the price was slightly higher, otherwise the dozen or so textile cloth alone would not have such a high profit.

Perhaps for those powerful people, this more than 100 taels of silver is not a lot of money at all, but according to the current price consumption, the purchasing power of 100 taels of silver is definitely very strong.

The daily expenses of an ordinary family cost less than ten taels of silver throughout the year, which shows how long a hundred taels can be used.

In addition, what she is doing is a small business, but it is just a few small things with a few cents and more than ten cents, so naturally she can't make a lot of money, and she can get more than a hundred silver, which is already very beyond her prediction.

And that's not even counting her earnings from Li San.

In short, she earned a sum of money by staying at home this New Year, which made Song Yunxi and her brothers and sisters very envious.

Although it is not an overnight rich, it is also earned by their hard work, which is better than nothing.

Of course, as the owner of the owner, she naturally has to give benefits to the people who follow her, compared to the New Year gifts of the villagers in Baiyun Village, she also gave them an auspicious six taels of six red envelopes.

"Knock~Knock~Knock~"

Soon, there were bursts of gongs in the village, and everyone heard the assembly signal, and they put down their work, and the family simply cleaned up and rushed to the meeting place together.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know."

"I haven't heard anything happened in the village?"

"This Chinese New Year's Eve shouldn't be a bad thing."

"Stop grinding, let's go and assemble."

"Let's go! If you go, you'll know. ”

In a quarter of an hour, hundreds of people gathered in front of the Song family's compound, a group of people who were black and oppressive.

At this time, there was a row of long tables on the left side of the courtyard gate, on which were placed pen and ink and a pile of square red paper, and in front of the long table stood ten men of different styles.

These ten people can be said to be the most outstanding representatives of the three age groups of the old, middle and young people in the village.

There is a round wooden platform at the gate of the courtyard, which can also stand three or five people, which is also to make it easier for people behind the crowd to see the people talking.

On the right side of the courtyard gate, there are five bamboo baskets side by side, because of a distance, the villagers can't see what the basket is in for a while, only vaguely see a festive red in the basket.

As for the ladies of the Song family, they stood on the edge of the basket and waited, and today the old lady Song, the mother of the Song Dynasty, Su Lianying, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law Xu Wanqing, the eldest lady of the Song family, Song Yunxi, and the second lady Song Chuying.

This New Year lucky bag was originally Xia Ning's idea, and the Song family just helped with the packaging, and she must be indispensable to the person who distributed the lucky bag, but she handed over this errand to Sister Ying'er.
