Chapter 366 New Year's Eve 1
The children were very satisfied with the meal and each of them remembered to bring some back home.
The name Jiang Wan once again gained a lot of favor in the hearts of the Li people.
In the evening, when everyone gathered together to listen to Anan talking about planting fruit trees, they learned that it was Jiang Wan who helped to come up with the idea, and miraculously no one spoke out to object.
Although they lived deep in the mountains, who told their family leader to like going down the mountains? They also knew a lot of news from down the mountains.
A thirteen-year-old girl not only does business with the government, but also leads the entire village to make a fortune.
Look at what the thirteen-year-old kid in the tribe is doing. He is still struggling to learn how to make traps.
My little brain can't compare to that of a little girl.
"The girl could have ignored us, but I wanted to help her because of the tribe leader and Anan. I think planting fruit trees is a feasible idea."
"We can definitely give it a try. The most we can do is spend some effort to dig the fruits out of the trees and transport them back home. Even if we can't sell them for money, we can still eat them ourselves in the future, so it won't be a loss."
"When I think about the mountains and fields full of fruits when we go out of our village, I am drooling, haha~~"
Everyone laughed along.
Now that they had household registration, they no longer had to worry about the court's reckoning. They had also moved to a new, more habitable place, and their lives were getting better and better. They were all in a very good mood.
The next day, the tribe organized a team to go deep into the mountains to dig up the fruit trees. First, they brought back all the wild fruit trees around.
The elderly and women who could not go into the mountains were responsible for digging tree pits around the village, waiting to bury the fruit trees as soon as they returned.
The people on the mountain were busy, and the people at the foot of the mountain were also busy.
The money Jiang Wan donated to the village for road construction had already started. The New Year was approaching, and the road was just a little short of being paved.
Everyone wanted to give the village a facelift before the New Year, so many families stopped fishing and joined together to help pave the road in the village.
After much haste, the road to the village was finally paved the night before New Year's Eve.
This time, the ground was no longer covered with shattered oyster shells, but instead was filled with smooth, clean cobblestone paths.
The main roads were paved with stone slabs, and the small roads were paved with bricks. The old village chief was frugal wherever possible, but he managed to make the roads both beautiful and spacious with the least amount of money.
My grandfather has really taken a lot of trouble. I have a lot more wrinkles on my face recently.
Jiang Wan felt it was a bit of a pity because the roads in the village had been repaired, but the expansion of her workshop had not yet been completed.
She couldn't detain people and force them to work during the Chinese New Year, that would be inhumane. So she could only let them go home and continue after the Chinese New Year.
Today is New Year's Eve, and all other messy things have to be put aside. Jiang Wan wants to concentrate on preparing dinner tonight.
Some fried foods had to be prepared in advance, so Jiang Wan and her daughter started working early in the morning.
"Since we came here, we have adapted to the local customs and haven't cooked many modern meals. Let's cook a big table tonight to scare my uncle and the others."
Yin Huaixi was delighted when he heard this.
"So what are you going to cook? Do you have enough seasoning?"
"The seasonings are ready. I'm going to prepare some braised dishes. Braised spareribs, braised fish, and braised pig's trotters. They'll bring prosperity to the New Year. I'll also steam striped sea bass, and make some steamed pork with rice flour and braised pork with preserved vegetables. Oh, Lord Qin also sent some beef, and I plan to make it into braised beef."
Jiang Wan was plucking chicken feathers while swallowing her saliva and counting the delicious food.
She hadn't even started yet and she was already hungry.
Yin Huaixi just thought her daughter was so adorable that she couldn't help but laugh so hard that she shook with laughter.
Jiang Wan blushed and was about to say something when she heard someone knocking on the door.
Who could it be so early?
Did my uncle and aunt come here so early?
Jiang Wan asked as she went to open the door.
From the noise, it seemed like there were two people outside.
As soon as the door opened, the two people outside smiled. They were people Jiang Wan was vaguely familiar with.
One is Lian Jinshan who has been selling coconut oil recently, and the other is Sister A Cui who often goes to the pharmacy to get medicine.
There's something wrong with the distance between these two people.
Ah, that's right. The fact that they can come together so early in the morning to give gifts shows that their relationship is not simple.
Jiang Wan patted his head and quickly invited everyone into the yard.
The two men were carrying a bucket, and before they opened the lid, Jiang Wan could already smell the bean fragrance coming from inside.
If nothing unexpected happens, what they sent should be tofu.
If ordinary people can eat tofu during the New Year, their life is considered good.
Tofu and food together mean richness, and the meaning is quite good.
"Doctor Yin, Miss Jiang. Since you came to the village, Brother Jinshan and I have received a lot of favors, and now we have hope for a better life. It's Chinese New Year, and this is the only tofu we have at home. I hope you like it."
No one can resist the white tofu.
Jiang Wan quickly said that she liked it, and grabbed a handful of candy from the stone table in the yard and stuffed it into A Cui's arms.
"Sister A Cui, I really like the tofu you gave me. I'll give you some candy too, but don't push it around."
Upon hearing this, A Cui had no choice but to let Jiang Wan block it with a blushing face.
Lian Jinshan grinned and then took out an invitation.
"A Cui and I have set the wedding date for the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I hope Dr. Yin and Miss Jiang will be able to come and have a drink at the wedding."
"Wow~ We are getting married!"
The mother and daughter congratulated them again and promised to attend the banquet. Only then did Lian Jinshan and A Cui leave happily.
Not long after they left, Xiaoman's family came back with two chickens.
Xiaoman has been taking good care of herself recently. She looks healthy and healthy, and her skin has become fair and smooth. At first glance, she looks a bit like a city girl.
She was a little shy today, not as generous as usual. Jiang Wan was about to ask when she saw Xiao Manniang next to her take out an invitation.
Amount...
This scene looks familiar.
"Doctor Yin, my girl is really indebted to you for her current good life. She is engaged to Aliang from the same village as us, and the wedding date is on the eighth day of the first lunar month. You two must come and have a drink at the wedding."
Both mother and daughter were stunned. It was the eighth day of the New Year again.
The invitation I just received from Jinshan is also for the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
The eighth day of the first lunar month must be a good day for getting married. Don’t you see so many weddings here?
"There have been so many happy events in our village recently. Even Jinshan and A Cui are having their wedding banquet on the eighth day of the first lunar month."
As soon as Yin Huaixi finished speaking, Xiao Man's mother immediately understood.
"Oh, it's good to have more happy events, which means the date is well chosen. You can come to my place for the wedding banquet at noon, and then go to Lian Jinshan's place for dinner in the evening, so you can have both without delay."
Everything was arranged, and the mother and daughter could only nod their heads like little chickens pecking at rice. In the end, they had no choice but to accept the two fat chickens, and then gave the man a handful of candy and sent him out.
When Jiang Wan saw the man leave, she quickly went back to the house and poured half a jar of orange candy outside.
She had a feeling that there might not be enough candy today.
