Chapter 719 Painstaking Efforts
Zhang Juexia could tell that the couple was asking her for advice, but since this was their family affair, it would be better for her not to make a decision for them. "Yulan, just discuss this with Eryong."
Li Yulan is also a smart person, "Then I will listen to Eryong!"
The burden on Qin Eryong suddenly became heavier, but with the previous experience of being kicked out, he guessed that his grandmother would not dare to do it again.
"When the road becomes easier to travel, I will pick them up and bring them to the village!
Yulan is getting heavier and heavier now. Now that my mother is here, she can help you with a lot of work.
After all, it’s Chinese New Year, and it’s not good to leave them alone at home.”
Zhang Juexia glanced at Li Yulan and saw that she didn't look unhappy, so he took the lead in changing the subject, "Eryong, what are the rules for celebrating the New Year at your village?"
Qin Eryong leaned forward. He had heard a long time ago that Yejia Village and Jinshui Town both offered two taels of silver as New Year's benefits.
His biggest purpose for coming to the county this time was to get this New Year benefit.
But after asking Li Le, Li Le did not give a clear answer. He just said that he was very busy with the hot pot shop these days and had no time to think about these things!
Since Zhang Juexia had handed Zhuangzi over to Qin Eryong, it was impossible for him to make decisions for him, so he asked him, "Eryong, what do you think?"
Qin Eryong rubbed his hands. Li Yulan pushed him aside and said, "Sister-in-law asked you to speak, so just say it. Didn't you say it to me very nicely last night?"
"Isn't this a matter of putting things in perspective?"
"Hurry up and tell us, we are all listening!"
Qin Eryong coughed dryly, sat up straight, and said in a serious tone, "Sister-in-law, you should have seen the accounts of the farm and the workshop.
Everyone works hard to earn more money.
Before we went to the village, those people had a hard time.
I thought, since we are here and it is our first time celebrating Chinese New Year, we might as well have a lively time.
This will give everyone something to look forward to in the new year.”
Qin Eryong glanced at Zhang Juexia guiltily. Seeing that she was listening attentively, he instantly gained confidence. "Sister-in-law, I asked Uncle Liu. He said that in the past, people in the village were reluctant to buy even pork during the New Year.
For a family of more than a dozen people, they only need to buy one or two kilograms of pork to celebrate the New Year.
I thought of going to the county town to find a way to buy a few pigs, carry them back to the village, kill them, and give each household a few pounds of pork.
Then buy some rice, flour and oil and distribute them to each household. Sister-in-law, do you think this is okay?"
Zhang Juexia thought about it in his mind and felt that Qin Eryong’s method was very good and it would definitely be very lively.
“Eryong, you are very thoughtful, let’s do as you say.
As for these pigs, we need to buy a few more. As you said, this is the first time that the people in the village are celebrating the New Year with us, so we have to let them look forward to the new year.
Tell them that as long as they follow us and work hard, they can eat meat every day!
The New Year benefits for you and Yulan will be according to Li Le’s.
It's just that I've been too busy these past two days, so I'm afraid I haven't been able to take care of it. You should be able to get it when you come next time."
Qin Eryong and Li Yulan both stood up and thanked Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia pulled Li Yulan to sit down, "If I have to say thank you, I should thank you and your wife!
I feel so relieved to leave this farm in your hands!"
Qin Eryong and Li Yulan were embarrassed by the praise, "Sister-in-law, this is what we should do.
Besides, you have paid us wages, so we have to work hard after receiving the wages."
Zhang Juexia took a look outside and prepared to chase him away, "Eryong, go and do what we just talked about!
I've asked Sister Yang to clean up the room and let Yulan stay with me. When you're done, you can go back to the manor together."
After hearing what Zhang Juexia said, Qin Eryong was very happy. "Thank you, sister-in-law. I will get busy now."
After watching Qin Eryong walk away, Zhang Juexia said to Li Yulan, "Go back to your room and rest for a while. After you've rested, let's go out for a walk."
"good!"
While shopping with Zhang Juexia, Li Yulan bought new clothes for everyone in her family for the New Year, but she didn't buy any for herself.
Zhang Juexia stared at her for a while, "Are you not celebrating the New Year?"
Li Yulan smiled and said, "Now, in my situation, isn't it a waste to buy new clothes?"
“Who said it’s a waste? Buy what you need. This is the most beautiful time for us!
Forget it, I can’t explain it to you, so I’ll just buy it and give it to you.”
Zhang Juexia picked out two sets of ready-made clothes for Li Yulan, "This way you can alternate between them!"
After Zhang Juexia selected the ready-made clothes for Li Yulan, he also chose two for himself.
As the two were about to pay, they heard someone calling her from behind, "Mrs. Ye, please stay!"
Zhang Juexia turned around and looked at the man, who looked very unfamiliar. "Who are you?"
"My husband's family owns the Qin Family Restaurant. My name is Li Yaqin. We met when the former county magistrate's wife hosted a dinner."
Zhang Juexia recalled carefully and found that there was indeed such a person.
Although Qin's Restaurant has a good reputation in Shunhe County, its popularity is second only to Zuixianlou.
But because she has a cooperation with the shopkeeper Chen of Zuixianlou, her family only chooses Zuixianlou for meals on weekdays.
I have never been to Qin's Restaurant.
She was also not familiar with the people at Qin's Restaurant.
But since the other person has come to talk to me, if I ignore him, I will be accused of being rude!
Zhang Juexia showed a typical smile, "So it's the eldest young lady of the Qin family!
I was busy choosing clothes with my sister and didn't see you. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
Li Yaqin was originally anxiously waiting for Zhang Juexia's reply, but now after hearing Zhang Juexia's politeness, she finally felt relieved.
"You're too polite, Madam Ye. I just arrived.
Have you chosen your clothes?"
Zhang Juexia nodded, and the waiter behind her tactfully replied, "Madam, Madam Ye has already chosen her clothes and is about to go over there to pay."
"Mrs. Ye, that's such a coincidence."
Li Yaqin said to the waiter, "Take Madam Ye to check out and tell her I said I would give Madam Ye the lowest discount."
"How can I be so embarrassed!"
Li Yaqin comforted Zhang Juexia, "I have a stake in this shop, so my words carry weight."
Madam Ye, please go and pay the bill!"
Zhang Juexia thanked Li Yaqin again and again!
After watching Zhang Juexia get on the carriage, Li Yaqin patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, Madam Ye is not arrogant, and fortunately, she still remembers me.
I've been racking my brains these past two days trying to arrange a chance encounter with Madam Ye."
