Chapter 664 Snow Falls on New Year's Eve
The repair will take at least a year.
If the couple is sent to Cihu County, they will have to wait at least two years.
Jiang Fubao believes that they can do the job.
As for the third and fourth apprentices, they had their own families and were unwilling to go too far, so Jiang Fubao asked them to stay here to help.
Their clinics and drug stores have been sold out.
Jiang Fubao paid them a salary that was no less than what they had earned before.
The destinations of the five senior disciples have been decided, and the younger disciples have also become familiar with all the medicinal materials. Jiang Fubao now not only sees patients every day, but also has to give them lessons, and is very busy.
Like the principal of a modern kindergarten.
There is a bunch of carrots following behind me all day long.
Master, Master was calling out.
When the second snow fell, New Year's Eve was approaching, and Jiang Fubao's clinic was open until the 29th day of the lunar year.
When I returned home in the evening, the bluestone bricks on the street had been buried by the snow.
When you step on it, you will feel a different touch.
"Creaky, creaky--" With the rhythm, Jiang Fubao and Jiang Ruyi walked home hand in hand with a group of servants.
Halfway through the walk, Jiang Fubao stopped.
Because she saw someone familiar.
He is the man who thought his wife was pregnant but actually was not.
He was hugging a woman's waist, smiling like a flower just blooming in spring.
"My dear, just wait for your happiness after you marry me. If you give me a son, I will guarantee that you will have delicious food and drink delicious drinks in the future. Let's go buy some meat. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I will cook meat for you."
The woman next to him was not the same one as before.
so...
Jiang Fubao guessed that the woman might have died of illness.
This kind of thing was common in ancient times. Jiang Fubao did not feel sad. She just raised her feet and continued walking towards home.
When I got home, the door was open and two blood-red lanterns were hung on the door.
The words "good luck and happiness, and family reunion" are written on it in golden paint.
The words are strung together with long tassels in the same color as the font.
It makes people feel festive just by looking at it.
"The decorations were started early this year. Are there lanterns hung in the yard? When will the couplets be posted?" Jiang Fubao asked the doorman as he entered the house.
"All the lanterns have been hung up, and red cloths have been tied to the trees. The old lady said that the couplets will be posted tomorrow." The doorman bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
"Okay, are everyone back?" Jiang Fubao nodded and asked again.
"All the masters are back."
"Then close the door."
"yes."
The two sisters left and the door slammed shut.
After bolting the door, the porter returned to his little room to warm himself by the fire.
He stayed here day and night. The room was not big and could only accommodate a bed, a table and a cabinet.
But it was enough for him to live alone.
The master was kind-hearted and worried that he would be cold, so he asked someone to send a charcoal stove from the backyard. The window was slightly open, and there was a pot of water burning on the charcoal stove, and two pieces of meat pie were roasting.
The aroma of wheat and meat filled the whole house.
The doorman poured himself a cup of hot water and ate a meat pie while reading a storybook in his hand.
The servants in the Jiang residence, regardless of gender, age or status, all know how to read. Even if a person does not know a single word when he is bought, there will be someone in the mansion to teach him.
So the servants in Jiang's house spent their time reading.
Jiang Fubao specially built a storage room for books in the backyard. Anyone who wanted to read a book could go and take it, and then return it after reading.
With books to pass the time, the servants in the mansion never engage in intrigue.
From the master to the servant, everyone has a kind face.
If a person lives a happy life, even if he originally looks mean, his facial features will change and become gentler.
When passing through the wind and rain corridor, Jiang Fubao found that the snow in the yard had been cleaned very cleanly.
Even though the snow hasn't stopped, it's still falling.
I'm afraid I'll have to clean it every once in a while.
These servants are very diligent without the master telling them anything, and no wonder the family treats them so well.
After returning to the house and changing clothes, Jiang Fubao went to the courtyard to eat.
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.
Jiang Fubao is discussing with his three sisters and sisters-in-law what to wear tomorrow.
Jiang Wangyou and Kong Mingxue also came back.
As she is married twice, she naturally has to spend the New Year at home.
The Kong family was easy to talk to and couldn't bear to see the couple suffer, so they would come to the Jiang family early tomorrow morning to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner for the two families and stay here overnight.
You don't have to think about how lively tomorrow will be.
"I bought a lot of firecrackers and fireworks! Let's set them off tomorrow night." The playful Jiang Tongtu suddenly said.
Everyone looked at him.
"What are fireworks?" Jiang Huanyu asked curiously.
"After it was lit, it flew up into the sky, and then, with a whoosh, it exploded. I saw the kid from the Liu family at the end of the alley let it go, so I asked him to bring some for me. I spent all my pocket money on it. Grandma, can you reimburse me?"
Jiang Tongtu regretted the purchase only after he had made it. His wallet was truly empty, not a single penny left. And yet, he still owed the young man from the Liu family a sum of silver.
"Okay, I'll reimburse you. But I'd like to remind you not to hurt yourself while playing, or you'll suffer. I heard that last year a child in Baishui Town went blind while playing with firecrackers. How pitiful!"
Zhang Jinlan simply took out her purse and ruined Jiang Tongtu's happiness.
He just asked tentatively, who knows if it can really be reimbursed.
"You are the only one who never saves money. I wonder what you will use to marry a wife in the future. I tell you, don't even think about spending my money. I didn't confiscate your money. I just asked you to save it. You and your brother should save the money for marrying a wife. If you can't save it, don't marry a wife."
Sun Pingmei was furious.
I deliberately said that I didn't have a penny to scare him.
But Jiang Tongtu didn't understand at all.
"If you don't want to marry, then don't marry. When I'm old, let my nephew take care of me." What a guy, the New Year is coming soon, and the word "send me to the end" has come up. Sun Pingmei is so angry that she reaches out and hits him.
Jiang Tongtu ran and she chased him.
Jiang Eryong called out from behind: "The ground is slippery, don't fall, you two, stop quickly."
Sun Pingmei said, "Don't let him run away. This brat is saying something unlucky on New Year's Day. I'm going to beat him to death."
Jiang Tongtu said, "Dad, save me, I am your biological son."
Jiang Eryong waved to his son and said, "Run to daddy quickly. Daddy will protect you."
Jiang Tongtu ran over obediently, but the next moment Jiang Eryong caught him.
"You little bastard, you dare to make your mother angry, I'll see where you can run, my lady, come here, I've caught you."
This action almost made Jiang Tongtu cry.
"Dad, how dare you betray me."
"I'm your father, it's not a betrayal."
The sound of Jiang Tongtu's ghostly howling could be heard in the main room.
Everyone was laughing so hard.
There was no way Sun Pingmei would really beat her son. Besides, he was wearing such thick clothes that it wouldn't hurt even if she hit him hard.
So Jiang Tongtu howled so loudly on purpose.
The old couple knew it well and did not interfere.
After Sun Pingmei calmed down, Jiang Tongtu came in with a tearful face.
