The giving of New Year gifts begins on the eve of the Chinese New Year. Horse-drawn carriages can often be seen passing on the streets, and people are either buying New Year goods or giving gifts.
Han Zeyu ran for two days before delivering all the things. He collapsed on the bed exhausted, humming and whining about his longing. Of course, he didn't miss Su Shien, but Dingxiang, who was quite worldly-wise.
"It's not easy to be a mistress, I want to be a little wife!"
Su Shien immediately hugged his wife and comforted her, "When I pass the imperial examination, I will buy a housekeeper and a housekeeper. Then you won't have to take care of all the housework yourself."
Good boy, you have learned how to make promises. Han Zeyu cheered up and gave her husband a kiss, saying that he is a good seedling.
After giving out the New Year gifts, Han Zeyu went to give rewards to the tenants on the farm. They grew good vegetables, and it was very face-saving to give them gifts. Everyone received the rewards and year-end bonuses, had a good New Year, and continued to work hard after the New Year.
Those who raised pigs also received year-end bonuses. Some of them had disabilities to varying degrees, so Han Zeyu didn't make things too difficult for them, otherwise he wouldn't have recruited them.
Besides, beggars also have their own way of survival. They have a wide network of contacts, are familiar with the territory, are well-informed, and are good at manipulating the direction of topics. They are comparable to the offline version of water armies and are easy to use.
After Han Ji closed down, both families returned to Yunshan Village, while the three members of the Chen family stayed in the county town. The yard had to be left unattended, so it was a good time to give the store a thorough cleaning during the Chinese New Year.
Zhao Xun had only been away for two months and felt lonely when he returned home. Fortunately, there were many furry little rabbits to keep him company.
Rabbits have a terrifying reproductive capacity. Han Zeyu caught a nest from the mountain and gave it to Zhao Xun as compensation. Now the rabbit army has expanded to more than 30.
The veteran rabbits are all fat and strong, and look very suitable for cooking. I will send them to Brother Han tomorrow.
Everyone took a day off and gathered in the second room for a meeting the next day to listen to the boss's plans for next year.
Han Zeyu solemnly held up his elaborate work plan and talked to everyone about the adjustments that needed to be made after the New Year.
First of all, Su Shien is going to study at Luoqi Academy, and he will go there to accompany her. The land purchased at the dock will also start construction after the spring.
As for the personnel transfer: Tiezhu and Brother Chen are going to go to the provincial capital with him to open a store, Yuanyuan will stay here for the time being to keep Yumo company, and Zeli will be sent to the school near the ferry to receive enlightenment.
Hire people to cultivate the fields at home, and assign the task of raising chickens and ducks to other villagers. You can negotiate this with the village chief and find a few reliable and reputable families.
Zhao Xun left a few rabbits in his family for his friends to continue raising. The adult ones were put into the pot, and the rest of the half-grown ones were divided among them. Whoever's mother's family had space to raise rabbits could take a few back.
My aunt was overjoyed. Her family had space and people available, so she let them take on the job, saving her the trouble of constantly asking her if Han Ji was hiring.
The aunt-in-law poked Wang Qin who was only concerned with eating. This daughter-in-law never neglects her appetite, but eating is not as important as doing business. Has this girl forgotten that she also has a family that needs help?
When Wang Qin saw her mother-in-law's disappointed look, she finally realized that she had only been married for more than a year, and she was actually entitled to such a good thing?
Yu Ge'er is so nice, and her mother-in-law is also nice, she doesn't treat her as an outsider.
Zhao was a little hesitant. With the character of her brother and sister-in-law, she really didn't want to help her natal family.
Han Zeyu still left a few for her and gave them to her uncle's family as a New Year's gift during the Spring Festival. If she was unwilling to support herself, she should visit his house less often in the future.
Zhao Xun also attended the meeting. As a member of the audience, he couldn't help feeling disappointed when he heard that so many furry animals had been divided up.
Tiezhu was also a member of the audience. At this moment, he was concentrating on crushing walnuts, being careful not to let the walnut kernels break, because he stubbornly believed that broken walnut kernels could not nourish the brain.
He peeled a whole one and immediately put it into his mouth, fearing that it would be taken away by Master Ze Li. Turning around, he saw the little brother looking listless.
The smart big head and rare flash of inspiration make the little brother feel inferior.
"Hey, don't do this stupid thing. The master doesn't plan to let you stay. You have to come with me to the state capital to run errands and do odd jobs."
Zhao Xun asked in surprise, "Why?"
Zhao Xun's original intention was to ask Brother Han why he took him to the provincial capital and what qualifications he had.
Then Tiezhu decisively replied, "Maybe it's because you're dark-skinned and short, so it's easier to hide."
Zhao Xun rolled his eyes. This guy really has no idea how white he is.
Grandma Han no longer had to look after the chickens and ducks in the two rooms, but she quickly adjusted her mindset. She could supervise the farming in the spring, and after Wang Qin gave birth, she could also help take care of the child. Thinking about it this way, she was quite busy.
Han Zeyu's first meeting was a complete success, and no one expressed any objection to the arrangements.
Next comes the exciting moment, which is distributing dividends, paying money, and receiving bonuses.
The eldest branch of the family had not been divided, and the money was managed by the eldest aunt. Han Zeyu solemnly handed her a red cloth bag, which contained three and a half months' wages for the four people in the eldest branch.
Each person had a fixed salary of 600 wen per month. My aunt-in-law was a pastry chef, so her salary was 800 wen per month.
The total salary plus the year-end bonus was ten taels of silver plus six hundred copper coins. The silver was kept by the aunt-in-law, and the copper coins were divided between the two brothers.
Han Zeping was a married man, so he got an extra hundred coins.
Han Ze'an looked at the two hundred and fifty coins in his hand and felt that he was being discriminated against. He also wanted to meet a destined person, but how could it be so easy?
In fact, he was also worried. In another eight months, he would have official media coming to his house. He really didn't want to find a wife he had never met before. If all else failed, he could just hide in the mountains?
Han Zeyu was so disappointed with Qian Ning. How could this useless person not get wise? He really didn't know how he had chosen Qian Ning in the first place.
Speaking of Qian Ning, according to a reliable informant, Qian Ning has not been seen for some time. However, after the temperature dropped, people rarely gathered in the village, and no one paid special attention to the movements of the young master of the Qian family.
One day, the eldest son of the Qian family got drunk and cursed Qian Ning, saying that he was an ungrateful person, a money-loser, and only cared about enjoying himself.
Erya was thin and small, so she was not noticed even though she was squatting behind a tree. However, she wrote down these words and relayed them to Zhao Xun.
Han Zeyu calculated with his fingers and found that Qian Ning was about four months pregnant. If she stayed in Yunshan Village any longer, she would definitely be exposed. Given her personality, she would probably find a safe place to hide and wait for the birth.
If nothing unexpected happens, Qian Ning's due date should be at the end of May, and then it will be Zhao Yan's turn to have a headache.
This guy really didn't suffer any injustice at all. If he had paid a little more attention after getting married, he wouldn't have been unaware that he was going to be a father.
It is said that the eldest son of a concubine is the root of family chaos. This time, the Sun family also has the same troubles as the Su family, so no one needs to laugh at anyone else.
