Chapter 765 Jiang Family Grocery Store
"What is this?" Jiang Tongxiang was stunned and didn't answer.
"Are you stupid, brother? This is a banknote. You earned it yourself. The money is all here. You can check it yourself. Also, you don't have to rush to pay me back the money I lent you before. You need money to buy goods and open a shop. It won't be too late to pay me back when you earn more in the future. I have enough money."
Jiang Fubao knows his brother too well.
If she didn't say it, her second brother would definitely pay her back the money he owed her.
So she said it in advance.
"Okay, when I make money in the future, I'll double it and return it to you. Thank you, sister." Jiang Tongxiang was very moved.
As for reconciliation, it is totally unnecessary.
My sister can even lend him so much money, why would she give him less?
Besides, he wouldn't mind even if I gave him less.
This is his biological sister.
In addition to his parents, he also has an older brother and a younger sister. The three of them are his closest relatives.
"Put the account book and banknotes away before you leave. By the way, have you bought a gift for Sister Xinlan?" Jiang Fubao asked again when he saw that he had nothing in his hands.
"No, I have to take the money to place an order with them tomorrow so they can arrange the goods for me. I asked them on the way back."
Jiang Tongxiang shook his head.
"You're stupid, brother. You can go and purchase the goods by yourself. Why do you want to buy something when others decide what to buy?" Jiang Fubao rolled his eyes at him.
I just praised him for being smart, how come he became stupid after taking a bath?
"I bought a headpiece and hairpins made of pink sapphire. I wanted to give you one too." Jiang Tongxiang was stunned for a moment and replied.
"Pink sapphire? Then you can go to Mobei to buy it directly. Pink sapphire is produced there, so it must be cheap. After buying it, you can find a craftsman to make it yourself. If you find it troublesome, you can buy ready-made jewelry, but you won't make as much as if you make it yourself."
Jiang Fubao was a little excited, so he used a lot of modern vocabulary when speaking.
Thanks to the fact that she often did this in the past, Jiang Tongxiang was used to it and could understand it.
He suddenly understood, nodded, and said, "Sister, you are really smart. Why didn't I think of that? OK, I'll take a few days off and leave right away. This time I'll bring you some more jewelry. Just consider it as a gift from you, free of charge."
Jiang Tongxiang said proudly.
"Okay, then you should go see Sister Xinlan. She's been missing you a lot lately. She came to our house a few days ago and said she wanted to hang out with me. But I think she just wanted to ask me if I was home. Unfortunately, she was disappointed."
Jiang Fubao covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
All of my brothers’ marriages are very good, and they and their sisters-in-law like each other very much.
That's why her family is so harmonious.
Only when parents love each other will their children follow suit.
After watching her second brother leave, Jiang Fubao returned to her room on the second floor. She sat at the desk and asked Xue Huan to grind ink for her. Then she picked up the pen and wrote down the quantity of medicinal seeds to be distributed to each village.
After he finished writing and let the ink dry, he took his servants to the village outside the city.
Tell them to start turning over the medicinal fields.
Burn the wood ash again and you can sow the seeds.
Jiang Tongxiang only stayed at home for three days this time, and he set off again on the fourth day.
The purpose of this trip is to purchase goods.
The Jiang family grocery store was handed over to Jiang Fubao to help him run it.
There was an empty shop in the house, and Zhang Jinlan gave it to her seventh grandson as a wedding gift.
Jiang Fubao sent familiar craftsmen to renovate the shop, including making custom plaques, which were also handled by her.
After all, he is her brother, who else should she help?
Jiang Tongji also helped a lot. He wrote the signboard of the grocery store himself.
The calligraphy and paintings displayed in the grocery store were also written, painted, and purchased by him.
And all those decorations were made by him.
The brother and sister were busy running around, and Zhang Yanzi and Jiang Siyin saw it all.
They were very pleased.
The brother and sister were so harmonious that they would have no regrets even if they died.
At the end of September, Jiang Fubao's seventeenth birthday had passed, and the autumn harvest was approaching.
All the medicinal seeds have been planted, and the medicinal materials in Jiangjia Village and Zhoujia Village have been harvested.
On the one hand, there is a bumper harvest of grain, and on the other hand, there is money to be made from growing medicinal plants.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a double happiness, and this does not even include the money from selling chestnuts.
The villagers from the two villages of Jiangzhou straightened their backs when passing by other villages.
Their village is no longer as poor as before.
Jiangjia Village is now in the top spot, and Zhoujia Village is second.
It is also considered one of the richest villages.
Every household has made a lot of money this year. The customers of the butcher shop in the town are mostly from these two villages.
Autumn harvest is hard work, and only if you eat well and are full will you have the strength to work.
The aroma of meat wafted from the two villages and spread everywhere.
The villagers from other villages were so fed up that some impatient ones wanted to pull out the medicinal seeds to promote their growth. In the end, reason prevailed and they could only kneel in the medicinal fields and beg for a good harvest next year.
With the arrival of an autumn rain, the weather began to turn cold.
Early winter is here.
When the leaves were falling, Jiang Tongxiang returned to Lianshan Town.
This time, he lost a lot of weight, became darker, and looked rougher, but his facial features were not that ugly. He looked like a handsome scholar turning into a rough farmer.
Anyway, Liu Xinlan likes it very much.
My eyes lit up when I saw it.
"Fubao, take a look at the jewelry I promised to buy for you. Do you like it? Also, grandma, auntie, second auntie, mom, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law...sister, second sister..."
He did not leave out any of the women in the family.
All gifts were given.
As for the man, just like last time, the gifts he gave were all rare and cheap items because he really didn't have enough money.
Otherwise, you can buy some jade pendants or something.
Thanks to the Jiang family men who don’t care about these things, they are very happy to receive gifts.
At dinner that night, the Jiang family's main hall was even livelier than during Chinese New Year.
"Brother, aren't you going to take part in the imperial examination this autumn?" Jiang Tongxiang was a little surprised to see that his elder brother had also returned.
He originally thought that he had failed the exam, but seeing that everyone in the family had a smiling face, and knowing his eldest brother's knowledge, he knew that even if he did not get the top spot, it was impossible for him to fail. So he guessed that something might have delayed his eldest brother, so he did not take the exam.
"Well, it will be postponed for one year. The border is in crisis this year and the emperor has no intention of holding the imperial examination." Jiang Tongji explained.
"Beiguan?" Jiang Tongxiang was a little surprised. He had just returned from the north and had never heard of this matter.
"Northwest Pass is very far away from you, and I don't know if this matter can be resolved next year. If not, it will probably have to be postponed." Jiang Tongji's tone was even a little excited.
In fact, the benefits of delaying it outweigh the disadvantages for him.
The later he takes the exam, the greater his chances of passing the exam. If he is lucky and works hard, it is not impossible for him to pass the exam and become a Jinshi.
"Okay, okay, it's a rare chance for us to get together. Let's eat first and not talk about this." Jiang Shoujia raised his glass and changed the subject.
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to celebrate.
