Xie Yixiao wants to add people, I don't know how many things to be busy in the future, and I have to do a few errands.

And she is going to marry Rong Jiu in the future, and there will always be a few credible subordinates around her to help her manage all kinds of things, all kinds of human contacts, rather than going to the Rongguo Mansion to add, it is better to add it now, and then bring people over after teaching them.

Xie Zhu said: "After the beginning of spring, there should be a group of people in the house, and when the time comes, choose a few to fancy and let people teach the rules." ”

Xie Yixiao nodded, did not speak again, and the group walked all the way through the alley to the ancestral hall of the Xie family.

The ancestral hall of the Xie family is at the front of the alley where the side branch lives, and it is a very old courtyard, but it is often cleaned and cleaned up.

Xie Yixiao asked people to notify each family to come and get things, and after a while, someone soon ran over, reporting their names and the number of people in their own homes, and then someone gave them things.

How many catties of food are for adults, how many catties of food are for the elderly and children, and there are some vegetables, fruits, meat, and a sum of money.

The food is sent by the main family and the Zhuangzi, and the money is shared by the family industry and the income from the family's industrial operation.

Half of the family's annual business income should be kept by the family and used for all the family's things in the future, such as marrying children and girls, raising children for the elderly, sending children to school, and so on.

The remaining half, most of which is distributed to meritorious people, such as the clansmen who help run the industry, and a small part is distributed according to the population, which is not much, but it can make people's lives passable.

Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu stood under the eyes, looking at the people who came to receive last year's gifts, a cold wind blew, and she couldn't help but shiver, she gathered her clothes, and felt that going out in winter was too testing.

Xie Zhu also shivered, feeling a little cold, she turned her head to see Xie Yi looking at the crowd with a smile, and couldn't help asking, "What is the little aunt looking at?" ”

Xie Yi smiled: "I look at them, and I'm very happy to see them." ”

Aren't you happy? There is money to take and something to take.

It is not easy for a person to be the master of the house, you need to take into account the clansmen, and you also need to take into account the people who have paid for this family, so what the income should be distributed needs to be taken care of, it cannot make people starve to death, nor can it make those who have paid cold.

Lazy people can barely live, if they want to live a good life, they have to pay, the same side branch, the difference between the rich and the poor is also very large, some people have servants and maids at home, and some buckle the rope, but also just get by.

The two of them stood under the eaves for about half an hour, the hand stove was a little cold, and the things were almost divided, so they went home, and let the rest of the things be divided according to the rules.

The two of them went back to Mrs. Xie first, sat down to roast for a while and drank a cup of hot tea, and then eased up.

Mrs. Xie put down the account book: "There's nothing going on over there, right?" ”

Xie Zhu said: "No, divide things according to the regulations, and leave after dividing, when my little aunt and I came back, there were still a few households that had not been divided, and I told them to divide them, and if there was any left, I would give them to the fifth uncle." ”

The fifth uncle in Xie Zhu's mouth is Xie Yi'an's brother, and he is also a relatively outstanding clansman of the Xie family's side branch.

Mrs. Xie nodded, she was afraid that if the two little girls passed over this year, there would be a few shameless twitters, and when the time came, it would be okay to quarrel.

"You're tired too, and there's nothing to do next, so go back and rest when you're warm."

The two of them said yes, and when they were warm, they said goodbye and left.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day also came to Chinese New Year's Eve, on that day, the Xie family went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, and the ancestral hall was lit with incense candles, and there were offerings of pig's head, chicken, duck, fish, grains, fruits, cakes, dried fruits and other things.

Mrs. Xie held nine incense sticks in her hand, led the clansmen to bow to the ancestors, and then explained the past year to the ancestors, and prayed to the ancestors to bless the coming year.

After the worship is over, a group of clansmen will have a banquet in the ancestral hall, and the clansmen will offer a table of wine in the ancestral hall and put dishes and chopsticks for the ancestors to enjoy, and the clansmen will hold a banquet in other side rooms in the courtyard.

A group of people are eating and drinking, and it is very lively.

Xie Yixiao sat with Xie Zhu, Xie Yu, Xie Yue and others, and a group of little girls were talking about the New Year.

Xie Yixiao still likes the girls in the clan, even if some of them have their own careful thoughts, but they don't hurt others and don't cause trouble, she can tolerate it.

"In the early morning of tomorrow, I will go to find the thirteenth aunt to press the New Year's money, the thirteenth aunt will go back and be ready, there are a lot of girls and children in our clan."

"That's it, Aunt Thirteen, you're ready."

Xie Yi laughed: "Come on, come on, just come." ”

I don't believe it, I can't even send out the New Year's money!

A group of girls and boys laughed, saying that they must come to beg for New Year's money.

"Here, have a drink."

Xie Yixiao drank some fruit wine with everyone, and when she was over, she was slightly drunk, Mingxin helped her back, Mingjing played an umbrella to block the wind, and Qingluo also walked behind with an umbrella.

Back in Chunxueyuan, she took a hot bath, and when she came out, she was still a little sleepy, lazily trying to sleep.

At this time, the sky outside was a little dark, but it was not dark, and when Xie Yixiao pushed open the window, a cold wind poured in, and occasionally one or two snowflakes fell.

"It's snowing again?"

"It's snowing a little." Spiegel came from outside the house with a suitcase, and then brought out a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup from it, "Girl, drink a bowl to warm up, and go out for a while today to avoid getting cold." ”

Xie Yixiao has no opinion, although she has been recuperating for more than half a year, her body is much better than when she first came, but her body is still weaker, and she still needs to recuperate, so don't get sick if she can.

Since winter, when she comes back from a trip, she will drink a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup to ward off the cold, so as not to get cold.

She sat down and picked up the small bowl of orchids with a white background, felt that it was a little hot, blew it, and then took a sip, she said: "Tomorrow's New Year's money is ready, don't wait for them to come, you really can't send it." ”

"It's all ready, girl, don't worry." Ming Spiegel couldn't help but be happy when he saw Xie Yixiao so happy.

In the past, in the Changning Hou Mansion, Xie Yixiao was always quiet, even a little depressed, and she didn't have much smile on weekdays, but since she returned to Xie's house and got married, she has more smiles on her face.

"That's good, I'll wait for them to come and pay me a New Year's greeting." Xie Yi said with a smile and couldn't help laughing.

If it were someone else, so many people would come, and she would have to worry about the little money in her hand, but she didn't lack this, so she felt that if everyone came over, it would be very lively.

She's waiting.
