The next day, Chinese New Year's Eve. Rest for the whole family.

Zeng Meiyue's grocery store was busier than usual in the evening, and there was an endless stream of people buying firecrackers.

Su Manjin and Su Yuhui helped in the store until more than seven o'clock in the evening, and the family of four closed the store and went back to the old house for a reunion dinner.

This is the best Spring Festival that Su Jinshun's family has had in the past few years.

Debt-free and light. This is the biggest feeling of the Su family.

As the saying goes, money is not everything, but no money is everything.

What Zhou Xiuni thinks is that this year, the family's foreign debts have been paid off, and there is no need to avoid people when she buys some meat and vegetables during the Spring Festival.

Su Yutian broke his leg and couldn't go out to catch the sea with his father and brother, but when the neighbors came to deliver the seafood, he could sit and help weigh and sort the goods. With the 5% stake allocated by his niece, he is also an earner! Although most of the income is kept by his parents, he finally has some money in his pocket!

Su Yuwen went out to learn decoration skills, and at first he could only work as a small worker, and he didn't make much money, but when he saw that the situation at home was better, he also felt a lot more relaxed.

Su Yuhui's family is also happy, the grocery store business is good, the income from the sea is also good, in just a month and a half, in addition to paying off the debts of his mother's family, there are also some deposits as working capital.

Su Yumei spent the Spring Festival at her mother-in-law's house, Zhang Jinghuang came to the house early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve to invite someone, and Su Yumei followed her husband home. This year, she has some money in her hands, and she has more confidence when she returns to her mother-in-law's house.

In the past month and a half, Su Yumei has followed Zeng Meiyue every night to learn to read and speak Mandarin, and the two often listen to Su Manjin tell stories outside, and she can't help but yearn for it.

She thought that when she saved up more money, she would be able to help her husband share some of the burden when she gave birth to a baby in the future, and maybe she could follow her husband out of the province and see the world.

The family reunited and finished the sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Su Manjin took Su Jinyang to the yard to set off children's firecrackers.

According to folklore, the night before the New Year is observed. On Chinese New Year's Eve, all houses are lit with candles, which is called "illumination", and it is said that after such a light, the family will be rich in the coming year.

Zhou Xiuni and Zeng Meiyue's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lit candles on all the desks in the house. The family guarded the "fire of the year", said goodbye to the old and welcomed the new, and waited for the arrival of the new year.

After twelve o'clock, it is the first day of the Lunar New Year. As soon as the door is opened, it means that the door is opened, and the new year is also announced.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Manjin and Su Jinyang put on new clothes and obediently greeted the elders for the New Year.

"Grandparents, Happy New Year! I wish you good health, all the best, and a safe and auspicious family! ”

"Mom and Dad, Happy New Year! I wish the New Year a prosperous and prosperous business, and a lot of money! ”

"Second uncle, uncle, happy new year! I wish you good luck in the New Year and all your wishes come true! ”

"After the New Year, Xiaoman is ten years old, Xiaoyang is also six years old, time flies so fast." Su Jinshun couldn't help but sigh.

The sisters and brothers smiled and accepted several big red envelopes from the elders.

"Grandpa, Sister said I'm five years old this year, not six." Xiao Jinyang corrected his grandfather.

Zeng Meiyue said with a smile: "Xiaoyang, your sister is talking about the real age, and grandpa is talking about the virtual age." ”

Xiao Jinyang immediately turned his head to look at his sister: "Sister, what's the difference between a real year and a virtual year?" ”

Su Manjin replied to the curious baby: "The virtual age is that you are 1 year old when you are born, and then you will add one year old every Spring Festival." The real age is the number of years you have reached from the day you were born. ”

Su Jinyang obediently took the red envelope into his coat pocket, and then looked at Su Manjin :)

"Happy New Year, sister! I wish you a happy, more beautiful and beautiful new year, and your dreams come true! After speaking, he handed his little hand to his sister, which made several elders laugh.

Su Manjin looked at his younger brother's naughty and money-obsessed appearance, and happily gave him the red envelope prepared in his pocket.

Xiao Jinyang didn't expect her sister to really give her a red envelope, so she jumped up on the spot: "yes~ My sister also gave me a red envelope~~"

The happy little appearance made the whole family follow the corners of their mouths.

————

According to rural customs, on the first day of the first lunar month, except for giving red envelopes to juniors, they generally no longer pay out. There were no guests, Zeng Meiyue simply closed the store, concentrated on preparing offerings with Zhou Xiuni, and had to go to the ancestral shrine to worship the ancestors on the morning of the first day of the new year.

Su Yuhui's three brothers sat and chatted with the cousins who came to the door, and Su Jinshun was also on the side, chatting with his nephews from time to time. Su Jinyang didn't know where to go to play with his friends in the village for a long time.

Although Su Manjin also enjoys a carefree rest, she has one more important thing to do.

She sat at the table and took out her final exam prize, a notebook, from her small school bag, which was also her account book.

She carefully calculated last year's income and took advantage of her free time to reorganize her plans and budget for the new year.

There is a lot of data written horizontally and vertically in a notebook, and if someone looks closely, they will be surprised: Isn't this the prototype of an excel sheet?

Who would have thought that a ten-year-old girl would do such a slippery job of summarizing plans and final account budgets.

Su Manjin carefully calculated, this month and a half income is a lot, she wrote in detail on the summary page.

Summary of income in 1998 (as of February 16, 1999 on Chinese New Year's Eve):

1. My income from catching the sea (100%): from the 15th day of the 11th lunar month, 2652 yuan.

2. Family sharing (20%): from the 16th day of the 11th lunar month, 5245 yuan.

3. Township and neighborhood supply share (60%): from the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, 3876 yuan.

4. Restaurant cooperation share (20%): at the beginning of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, 8,250 yuan.

5. Real estate cooperation share (30%): 0 yuan, not yet started.

Total: 20,023 yuan. After deducting expenses and input costs, the balance was 17,630 yuan.

Su Manjin opened his "lockbox" - the locked cabinet, took out the iron box, checked that the cash in the box was not different from the accounts, and then happily hugged the box and the account book.

The book I read in my last life is honest and does not deceive me, the "bucket man" is to exchange time for money, do a day's work, get a day's salary, and once he stops earning, he has no income.

Therefore, you can't always be a "bucket man", you have to be a "pipe builder", use the time outside of work to repair the pipeline, and once the pipeline is completed, there will be a steady stream of income.

When the time comes, you will be able to achieve time freedom and financial freedom. What a wonderful life goal!

Su Manjin looked at his income summary.

I have the least income from catching up with the sea, because I don't go often, and going to the beach with Su Xiaosheng from time to time is regarded as a distraction, and by the way, I am looking for something good, this income is the most unreliable.

The family's share of income from the sea is good, because grandpa, dad and aunt don't stop all day, and they rush twice when they encounter the tide, so they contribute this part of their income.

This income does not need to rely on one's own efforts, and it is a good channel for oneself. But for the family, they are the "bucket bearers". It seems that I have to rethink my family.

The supply share of the neighbors is a good channel for themselves and their families. Using the channel resources of the restaurant, the supply method is simple, the time spent is not much, and the profit is considerable.

The income from the restaurant cooperation is the most considerable in this period of time. This income is based on his own advanced knowledge, and he does not need to participate in the daily operation of technology shares, as long as he helps Wang Chunfeng in the introduction of new dishes and the expansion of restaurants in the later stage, which is a good channel.

It seems that we still have to continue to build multiple lifelines! Tomorrow, I will follow my mother back to my parents' house, and I will find a chance to talk to my uncles.
