Chapter 318: Did it hit my sister?
Shen Hanxing turned to look at him: "Reward?"
"Well, the windmill reward gave me one hundred acres of wasteland, a house, and three thousand taels of silver."
"The rewards are quite generous."
Ah Xiang waited until she came back and handed her a thick letter: "Master, this is for you."
Wen Zhenyi was a little puzzled. It seemed like she had no correspondence with anyone. "Who wrote this?"
"Your Highness, Little Abu." He then handed another relatively thin letter to Chen Hanxing: "This is for you."
Chen Hanxing looked at the envelope that was more than a little thinner and smiled helplessly.
Wen Zhenyi was happy in his heart. After such a long time, there was finally news about them.
It is better to say that it is a page of diary than a letter, which records what happened after he left, including the journey to the capital and the journey back.
There were dangers on the road, but they all returned to the country safely.
This letter was an expression of his longing for her. When he sent it, he was already His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Wen Zhenyi was very happy for them: "Axiang, can you write back to them?"
"Yes, but it may take more than half a year."
“It’s really far.”
"There's nothing we can do about it. Ships for long voyages aren't always available."
"That's the truth."
As soon as Wen Zhenyi's family came back, he began to discuss the New Year's arrangements with them.
The private school has been on vacation, and Wen Yongnan has returned.
Old Man Wen thought for a moment and said, "The New Year is coming soon. Shouldn't I start buying New Year gifts?"
Mrs. Wen nodded: "It's time to buy it."
"What are we going to buy?"
Mrs. Wen said nothing, but returned to her room and brought out a box. "Old man, please make a list first, and let's take a look at the money we have at home."
"I have some here too." After saying this, the family members ran back to their rooms and took out their own purses.
This was Wen Zhenyi's first year here, and she was completely clueless about New Year gifts.
Old Lady Wen saw that no matter whether it was Zhu Tao or Lady Qin, even the usually silent Xiong Lu took out money bags and pushed them in front of her: "What are you doing?"
"Old Madam, we know that Miss Nian has done a lot of things this year. Although she seems to earn a lot, she has spent it on other things. We have food, shelter and clothes, so we don't need this money."
"We still have money, we don't need yours."
Wen Zhenyi touched her nose. She had earned a lot this year, but she had spent just as much. Everyone in her family knew she was broke. She silently got up and went back to her room to get the money she had received today. She couldn't let them think she was broke.
Everyone in the room saw her go back to her room without saying a word.
Wen Yongman: "Grandma, is this a blow to my sister?"
"Did we do something wrong?" Others also wondered in their hearts.
Old Mrs. Wen also frowned slightly. This matter was a bit difficult to handle.
Ma Yinghe was really afraid that Wen Zhenyi would be sad: "Mom, I'll go and see."
Old Lady Wen nodded.
As soon as Ma Yinghe stood up, she saw Wen Zhenyi walking out holding a box.
Wen Zhenyi saw them looking at him with strange expressions: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Sister, didn't you run back to your room and cry?"
"Why would I run back to my room and cry?"
"Because we said you had no money."
Wen Zhenyi was filled with black lines on his head: "Will I be without money?"
"Do you have money?" Wen Yongman was a little uncertain.
Wen Zhenyi returned to his previous position, holding the box. "Of course." He pushed everyone's wallets back. "Take them back, take them back. Don't underestimate your boss. What boss needs your help to survive? Tell everyone about it and they'll laugh at you."
Old Lady Wen looked at the boxes in front of her: "One by one."
"Grandma, I am really rich. If you don't believe me, just look." Wen Zhenyi was afraid that they would not believe him, so he opened the box.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the box was filled with banknotes.
Ma Yinghe couldn't believe it: "Yi Yi, where did it come from?"
"Three thousand taels is the reward from Feng Che, and the rest is the dividends from the business partnership with Uncle Biaozi. So don't think I have no money. I have money. I will take back all your wallets."
Everyone present put their wallets away in embarrassment.
Wen Zhenyi then continued, "I plan to give these three thousand taels to Uncle Xiong Lu. This is something he invented."
Xiong Lu quickly shook his head: "I don't want it."
"You deserve it."
"I don't want it anyway." Xiong Luren was no fool. If it weren't for her, he would still be picking up scraps. Wen Zhenyi was a benefactor to him, his mentor. For him, this was more important than anything else.
Seeing that he insisted, Wen Zhen didn't force him: "Uncle Xiong Lu, I have something else I want to trouble you with."
"What's up?"
"Go to the school and teach the children?"
"I, I can't teach, and I, I can't read."
"You don't need to teach children to read, you just need to teach them to use their hands."
"Do it?"
"yes."
"I, I'll try."
Wen Zhenyi took it as his agreement and then talked about other things: "The other rewards are one hundred acres of wasteland and a three-story house in the county town."
"And you gave me a house as a reward?" Old Man Wen was a little surprised.
"Yes, today the county magistrate asked if we would accept the New Year's Eve dinner, so I wanted to ask you all if you would like to go to the county town to celebrate the New Year. After all, it's a bit crowded here."
Now both Wen Yongnan and his brother are living in Shen Xiucai's house as there is really no place left for them to stay.
Shi Hui was the first to say, "I won't go, Boss. I'm worried about the pigs on the farm. This is a critical moment and we can't be careless."
Wen Zhenyi remembered that Shi Hui had bred wild boars and domestic pigs these days, and there hadn't been too many accidents.
But in Shi Hui's view, this was a breakthrough, and she was still worried about leaving.
Xiong Lu thought for a moment and said, "I won't go either. I'm working here."
Madam Qin smiled and said, "In that case, the three of us, mother and daughter, won't go either. There has to be someone to look after the house and cook."
Everyone looked at Zhu Tao.
Zhu Tao also shook her head: "I won't go either. I have to open the shop. I will come back on New Year's Eve and celebrate the New Year with Aunt Qin and the others."
"That's fine, but let's call Brother Ji and Brother Lin and their families as well."
"good."
After these things are arranged, it is time to start preparing the holiday gifts.
Seeing that there was nothing for them to do, the others also dispersed and went about their own business, leaving only the Wen family in the main room.
Old Lady Wen looked at the people present and said, "In previous years, festival gifts were only given to relatives and familiar families in the village. This year, we have to give a lot more gifts. How should we give them? Do you have any ideas?"
Wen Yongnan: "Grandma, shall we just bring cloth, cakes, meat, or candy?"
