When Chen Wu woke up the next day, she felt around to see that there was no one around, and yawned.
Manman is playing with the little orange.
"Where's your father?"
Manman said: "Dad has been sleeping in the fried melon seeds place recently. Dad said someone is restless."
Chen Wu looked at the calendar and it was already the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.
The festive atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger. If it was really unsafe, she planned to ask Lu Xuan to take a few days off.
The person next door got up even later. When Xu Yin got up, Manman said, "Godmother, you got up late again. I haven't exercised for many days. I want to fight three people at once."
Looking at Manman's big black eyes, they were so clear that you could see the bottom, and there was only the desire to win in his eyes.
Xu Yin felt a little guilty for a moment: "Godmother just came back from North City and is very tired. How about tomorrow morning?"
"Okay, godmother, your neck is red, what's the matter?" Manman said and wanted to go and take a look.
Xu Yin quickly straightened her collar, and looking at the warm-hearted look, she hurriedly dodged and said, "It's okay, I was bitten by a cockroach."
"Godmother is going to cook with your mother." Then she slipped away quickly.
Lu Xuan and Lu Ye used two woks and fried the melon seeds for an average of seven or eight hours, and then delivered the goods in the evening. Chen Wu and Xu Yin went out to buy New Year's goods, and they saw a place secretly selling the melon seeds fried by Lu Xuan.
"Buy some. It's scented with flower tea. It won't make you get irritated, and your mouth will be filled with fragrance..."
People didn't stop to buy other flavors, but when they heard about this flavor, they had never heard of it. However, many people wanted to try it for the novelty and bought a little of each flavor.
Even supply and marketing cooperatives have them.
It is probably not Lu Xuan’s channel, I don’t know whose channel it is. Those who can be middlemen are not simple people.
It’s not cheap, and you need a ticket.
Similarly, the ones sold outside were better. Shen Wu walked around and bought some vegetables and meat. She didn't have enough tickets, so she just paid for some of them at a high price.
Although she didn't calculate the accounts carefully, the money she earned from selling clothes plus the share of money Xu Yin earned from translation, and the money Lu Xuan earned from roasted melon seeds, roughly speaking, she made a lot of money this year.
Even these small roasted melon seeds may look inconspicuous and have low profits, but fortunately, the quantity is large and we only roast them, not retail them. There are people who want to make money and they retail them, which makes money faster than small-scale retail by ourselves.
Chen Wu was generous in buying delicious food and even bought a few pots of flowers from the flower market. She shopped until dark before going to the photo studio to settle the bill.
When the photographer at the photo studio saw her coming, he smiled very sincerely.
He didn't expect it to sell so well.
He also secretly hinted to her that she could still contact him if she had any goods in the future.
Shen Wu agreed, and even thought that she could develop a few more like this...
Chen Wu discussed with Lu Xuan to stop speculating on nuts. After thinking about it, he decided that he needed to take a break.
Lu Ye was still reluctant: "The closer it gets to the Chinese New Year, the better sales are. Do we really have to stop?"
A few days ago, I was afraid that I wasn’t pretty enough, but now I’m reluctant to spend money.
Lu Xuan said, "You came to Yangcheng just to be with your wife. What if you become estranged from her in order to make money?"
Lu Ye suddenly felt a sense of urgency: "Then take a rest. I want to have some fun with my wife recently."
Xu Yin didn't know what she was thinking. She coughed uncomfortably and turned away.

This year is the first time to celebrate the Chinese New Year outside. Chen Wu put up couplets on the door and hung red lanterns for her home, which looked festive at first glance.
Shen Wu also bought shrimps in advance, and when she went to cook them, she found that the quantity was wrong.
Xiaoju was caught red-handed when she stole some shrimps to send to Dahei. Chen Wu saw that Xiaoju was about to steal again, but Dahei was already trying to please her guiltily and rubbed her hand.
Shen Wu simply had no choice.
The whole family was busy in the kitchen, even Manman was peeling garlic.
The New Year’s Eve dinner includes fish, shrimp, chicken and beef, and we start preparing before dark.
The old lady next door stood on tiptoe and asked, "This aroma has even drifted into our house. I wonder what delicious food we can eat?"
"Did they earn their money in a good way?"
Chen Weifeng also said: "Could it be speculation? I heard that many people have been selling things recently."
The old lady's eyes suddenly lit up: "The people next door go out early and come back late, could they really be speculating? This is a serious crime."
Chen Jiaying frowned slightly and said nothing.
After all the dishes were ready, Shen Wu called out, "Wash your hands and eat."
Chen Wu cooked dishes from both the north and the south, and even made a plate of dumplings and a sauce.
Today, everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the sea is available, and there is no bitter herbal tea. Manman is the happiest and even wants to invite her children to her home to eat.
It was only after Chen Wu said that everyone had eaten well today that she finally stopped talking.
Laoya Village.
Old man Lu smoked in silence, with candles lit in the room. It felt cold and desolate, whereas it had been very lively in previous years.
The children were all eating.
Lan Lan felt uncomfortable: "We raised the third and fourth children so old, and now they are being raised by others. They don't even remember being their parents during the New Year."
Old Man Lu was also feeling uncomfortable. He took a sip of wine from the bowl and gulped it down. He knocked on the table and suddenly said, "Fifth Brother, go write a letter to Third Brother and Fourth Brother tomorrow."
Lu Cheng has become much more mature recently. Thanks to Old Lady Feng's loudspeaker, everyone in the village knows that Long Yujiao has cheated on her.
That’s not all.
She ran away again. Lu Cheng was filled with frustration. He looked up when he heard his father's words and asked, "What are you writing?"
Old Man Lu tapped his pipe suddenly and said, "Ask your third and fourth brothers if they still care about this family and their parents."
"Have I raised them in vain?"
Old Man Lu kept shouting, each one higher than the last. It was not known whether it was because he had been drinking or was too angry, but his face was getting redder and redder.
The eldest, second, third and fourth babies who were eating were all frightened.
The most timid fourth child was scared to tears.
Lan Lan clapped her hands and couldn't help scolding Old Man Lu: "What are you doing? Going crazy on New Year's Day!"
"If you have anger, take it out on the unfilial third and fourth brothers. Why take it out at home?"
Lan Lan then looked at Lu Cheng and said, "Long Yujiao ran away. I don't think she will come back. These four children are not easy to take care of. Otherwise, Lao Wu, you should find another wife."
"Don't look for cultured people or love this time. Find someone who is honest and down-to-earth, live a good life with him, and help me take care of the children."
Old Mrs. Lu was released to find another wife for Lu Cheng.
Later, Shen Wu learned about this matter when Aunt Zhao wrote to her, and she also attached a message from Old Lady Feng.
[She still wanted to find an honest man, but the honest man ate her family's food and cheated the honest man.]
But in the end, he never found a wife. No good girl would want to take care of four kids.
But that's for the future. Chen Wu raised her glass: "Happy New Year!"
As she finished speaking, firecrackers went off outside from somewhere, crackling, and there was a burst of laughter in the house.
at this time.
Hong Kong City, Kowloon Walled City.
The houses were densely packed together, people were huddled together, and suddenly a figure rushed out.
