After receiving the money, everyone went about their own business.
The Chinese New Year was coming soon, so she asked Wang Shiwen to give everyone a few days off to have a good New Year. She would not stay at the farm today. When she left, she took away 300 kilograms of rice and two baskets of dried meat strips, which weighed a total of 200 kilograms.
Today they still had to go to the town to buy New Year's goods, which was undoubtedly food. She took Xiaohua to stroll around the town until it was almost dark, and when she got home she found Zhang and Daha waiting for her at home.
"I thought you wouldn't be coming back today. Your second sister-in-law and the others have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Mom, sister-in-law, wait until I move the things down."
Yan Dahe ran over to help, "Wow, so much meat! No wonder mom said she didn't need to save any for you."
"We have four pigs on the farm. Originally, I was asked to bring back meat from two, but I couldn't possibly eat that much. Since you guys don't need any, I brought back the meat from one. Xiaohua, hang all the meat on the poles in the warehouse to dry."
"What's in this border of yours, all those big and small bags?"
"I went to town to buy New Year's goods, of course, it's food." She chuckled, "These two baskets are all about food. It's New Year, after all, so you can't just stay at home and eat and drink."
Everyone worked together to move everything down and put it away. "I'm afraid you went shopping today, buying so many. And so many oranges. Those two orange trees in your backyard have been bearing quite a lot this year. I wanted to leave some for you, but the little ones were picked clean, two today and two tomorrow."
"It's okay. The ones in the farm will bear fruit next year. There will be plenty by then, so you don't need to buy them during the New Year."
"By next year, the ones in our yard will have borne fruit, so they won't pick the ones from yours anymore, so don't worry."
Xiaohua went to unload the carriage and feed the horses. Zhang, Yan Dahe and Chunxiao sat in the main hall.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Nothing else, just the profit share from the braised meat shop. I've brought you the account book and the profit share. Please do the math."
Chun Xiao smiled and said, "Do I need to calculate it? Don't you think I still don't trust my brother and sister-in-law? Whatever you say is the right amount."
Yan Dahe took out 600 taels of silver notes and more than ten taels of silver and placed them in front of Chunxiao. "These are yours."
Chunxiao accepted the 600 taels of silver note and pushed a dozen taels of silver to Zhou, "Just like before, mother, these are my filial gifts to you."
Zhou smiled and took the money. "I won't be polite with you. I'll take it from anyone who gives it to me now. Anyway, none of you are short of money."
"Have you collected the charcoal you burned yesterday?"
"I collected it at the time you said. The charcoal is burning well. It will be enough for the next few days. I will ask Shufeng to bring some over tomorrow."
"By the way, Shufeng is going to return home tomorrow. Second brother, the banknotes you gave me are just right. I can use them to make red envelopes."
"Your red envelope is truly remarkable. This package is worth at least 100 taels. Wow, I'm so envious."
"Second brother, stop being so jealous of me. I don't believe you can give less tomorrow." She had originally said that she would prepare a dowry for Shufeng, but she came back in a hurry without preparing anything except the headgear. This time, of course, she had to prepare something. She said to prepare a hundred taels of silver notes, but she was thinking that at least a thousand taels of silver notes should be included, as she was not short of money now.
In the evening, she began to prepare red envelopes in the house. There were two red envelopes, each containing a silver note of one thousand taels. Huai Tian started from scratch, and he was much better off than ordinary people to earn several hundred taels of silver now. With this money, he would have a smoother start. This money was nothing to her, but it could change a lot for a young person in development.
The next day, she went to Yan Dashan's house early, and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw Shufeng and his wife and Xiaoxue.
"I said I came early today, but I didn't expect you to come even earlier. You must be eager to go home."
"Oh, that place is nice, but with just the three of us, it's not as lively as home. We came here as soon as we got up today." She smiled and looked at Chunxiao, "Aunt, don't you have to give us red envelopes? Our parents and grandparents gave them as soon as we got home."
"You didn't even offer me a cup of tea and you still want me to give you a red envelope? That's wishful thinking."
"That's right, why don't you serve tea to your aunt? You're so unruly." Tian put the teapot aside. "The water has just cooled down a while ago. Now the temperature is just right."
Shufeng and Huaitian brought her tea and knelt down in front of her politely, "Aunt, please have some tea." "Aunt, please have some tea!"
Chunxiao took a sip seriously, then smiled and took out two red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to them. "This tea is probably the most expensive tea I have ever tasted." He also deliberately made a painful expression.
Shufeng was curious and opened the red envelope to see the banknote inside. "Aunt, you didn't give us 100 taels, did you? This is too good a deal to get married. I'm going to get rich."
Yang Huaitian asked her to put it away and not look at it.
"What are you afraid of? There's no one else in the house." She pulled it out and took a look. Her mouth immediately opened into a big O shape. Then she carefully stuffed the banknote back in. "Go back and take a look. Don't look here anymore."
When she said that, Yang Huaitian became curious. He also wanted to open the red envelope to take a look, but Shufeng immediately held his hand down and said, "Don't look. Go back and take a look."
Chun Xiao looked at her and smiled inwardly, "Do you think this tea is expensive?"
Shufeng stood up with a smile, "Aunt, you can't just drink one cup, you have to drink a few more, you must drink a few more."
Tian looked at Shufeng's expression and said, "Little sister, you didn't give her a few hundred taels of silver, did you? Look at her like that. I'm embarrassed to say that this is my own daughter."
