Chapter 217: Crackling, New Year's Eve
This time Baoya had a famous name, and she happily asked Yun Chengfu to teach her how to write the character "Ran" when he had time. The character "Yun" was simple, and she already knew how to write it.
After naming it, the adults started talking about their own business.
The first and third rooms are both headed by their wives, and Wang Cailian and He Chunxiu both took the initiative to bring up the matter of distributing dividends to the second room.
After all, the second wife has done a lot of hard work in the past few months. She has been the one running around to take care of the construction of the house, big and small things, all kinds of things.
Zhao Zhilan was very satisfied with the performance of her two daughters-in-law. While playing cat's tuck with the children, she listened with one ear to them discussing how to divide the rope.
The heads of the two households each took out their account books and spread them out to talk.
The final agreement was that the first and third wives would give 30% of their earnings to Zhao Zhilan as a filial gift, and the second wife would take 20%.
Zhao Zhilan refused outright: "Now that the house is built, there's nothing else we need money for. I won't take so much. I'll just take 20% like Erlang and the others."
That being said, as an old woman, how much money can she spend on a daily basis? In the end, she still has to save it for her children and grandchildren.
Although we haven't split up yet, we will gradually separate the finances and let them manage it themselves.
She always had a premonition that once the children went to school in town, it would probably not be long before the family separated.
The eldest son's mill has agreed with Zhu Qi that it will select a location and open after the New Year. The third son's breakfast shop is also doing a booming business, so expanding is only a matter of time.
Life was getting better and better, and she could no longer keep her children confined to the small village.
It's the second room...
Thinking of the second house, she felt a little headache. Erlang had no other skills except farming, and Li Rongyue's cooking was not good either. She wanted to help, but she was powerless.
Just as I was daydreaming, I felt a soft little hand patting my hand.
When she lowered her head, she saw Baoya wearing a bright red embroidered jacket, with her fair and tender chubby face looking up at her.
"Baoya, what's wrong?"
Bao Ya winked at Yun Chenglu beside her, then said, "Grandma, I learned a skill from my second brother and master."
The little girl was mysterious, which made Zhao Zhilan particularly curious, and so were Yun Chengfu, Yunhua and Yunyue.
"What skill? What new dish has our Baoya learned to cook?" Zhao Zhilan smiled.
"Oh, it's not cooking, it's growing vegetables!" Baoya said.
What's wrong with grandma? Why do I always feel like she can't do anything else except cooking?
She can do so many things. She can play with a whip, grow vegetables, cook delicious food, and even raise rabbits and big river clams!
"Oh," Zhao Zhilan was indeed shocked, "Tell me something quickly?"
Baoya and Yun Chenglu talked to each other about the greenhouse planting methods they had learned from Nanxuan, as well as their successful trial planting experiences.
Yun Erlang and Li Rongyue came over to listen at some point, and when Bao Ya finished speaking, they were both amazed.
"Your master is really capable. This method is amazing! Why didn't I think of it?" Yun Erlang said in surprise.
With a greenhouse, they can grow off-season vegetables. You should know that off-season vegetables are very expensive and rare in their entire Dakang Kingdom. Whether they are sold to wealthy families or supplied to restaurants, they are very profitable.
"Uncle, it's still cold today. You can try choosing a piece of land according to what my brother and I said." Baoya said.
Yun Erlang nodded and said, "Okay, after the New Year, I'll go buy some cloth and cottonseed oil."
The dividends distributed to them by the first and third wives amounted to almost thirty taels of silver, which was just enough to buy these materials.
"Then let's try planting some soybeans first," Li Rongyue said. "Once we're done, we'll try other things."
"Dad, Mom! Then my sister and I will help you two!" Yunyue quickly raised her little hands and said.
Yunhua smiled gently: "Yueya and I will help you soak the bean seeds."
"Okay, then I'll leave the selection and soaking of bean seeds to you two." Li Rongyue rubbed Yunhua's head with a smile.
Time always flies when you are chatting.
Outside, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another.
Yun Dalang slapped his thigh and stood up from the stool: "It's almost done, I'm going to set off the firecrackers!"
Stay up all night to welcome the New Year, and it’s time to set off firecrackers at midnight.
As he stood up, the children also stood up and followed him down the stairs.
There were two red lanterns hanging in front of the main room, which were emitting a dark red light.
Yun Dalang hung a string of firecrackers on a small tree in the yard.
He struck the flint, lit the fuse of the firecracker, and ran away quickly.
The five children stood far away, covering their ears in unison.
Crackling! Crackling!
Deafening firecrackers exploded.
"Yun Ran!" Yun Yue covered her ears and shouted at Bao Ya who was standing a few steps away from her.
"What?!" Baoya also covered her ears and shouted back at Yunyue.
"I say!" Yun Yue shouted, "You have a great name too!"
The sound of firecrackers was too loud and Baoya couldn't hear clearly, so she stared at Yunyue's lip movements.
Then he shouted back at the top of his lungs: "Then I'll plant radishes with you too!"
"Huh?!" Yun Yue obviously misheard and shouted in surprise, "Why do you suddenly want to raise a turtle?!"
Yun Chengfu, who was standing between the two of them: ...
He originally wanted to correct the two of them, but seeing these two little girls shouting at each other, it was obvious that their conversation was irrelevant, yet they were still able to continue.
For some unknown reason, he stood there silently, listening with great interest, without asking the two of them to come closer to talk.
Crackling! Crackling!
After another burst of explosions, the sound of firecrackers stopped.
Baoya and Yunyue were having fun shouting, and when the sound of firecrackers stopped, they stopped too.
When she came to her senses, she saw Yun Chengfu, Yun Chenglu and Yun Hua standing in a row between her and had obviously been listening for a long time.
Yun Chenglu laughed so hard he fell backwards, pointing at Baoya and saying, "You want to plant radishes with Yunyue?"
Then he pointed at Yunyue and said, "You want to raise a turtle with Baoya?"
"Hahaha, this is killing me! How did you two continue the conversation?!"
He laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back, and it took him a long time to stand up on his knees.
As a result, he got two cold stares from Baoya and Yunyue.
Yun Chenglu was stunned by the stare, but then he thought of Yun Yue's angry and unruly look with her hands on her hips, and then he thought of Bao Ya's fierce and fierce look with her little cheeks puffed out.
He chuckled and said, "That's so fierce!"
After glaring at Yun Chenglu, Baoya and Yunyue turned around and went back to the house.
Yun Chenglu finished sighing and lowered his head. Only Yun Hua was left standing quietly beside him, smiling at the proud and confident backs of Yun Yue and Bao Ya.
Holding Yunhua's hand, he sighed, "A sister like Huaya is so considerate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Chengfu came over and took Yun Hua's other hand: "Let's go back to the house."
Yunhua looked up at Yun Chengfu on the left, and then at Yun Chenglu on the right.
Suddenly she felt that at this moment she was just like Yunyue and Baoya, a little sister spoiled by her brothers, rather than an older sister who took care of her younger sisters everywhere.
On the other side, Baoya and Yunyue returned to the house and saw He Chunxiu walking out of Zhao Zhilan's house with a frown and holding her stomach.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?!" Baoya was frightened by He Chunxiu's appearance and quickly chased after her to ask.
He Chunxiu felt very uncomfortable. She covered her stomach with one hand and her mouth with the other. Just as she reached the stairs, she vomited with a "wow"!
