This year, Mr. He drove his brand-new Santana back to the village, once again becoming the focus of attention for the entire village!
This is the first car in the village!
Mr. He was beaming with joy as he received compliments and envy from all directions.
When He Wenlin returned in the afternoon, the villagers looked at her as if she were a god of wealth, their eyes filled with affection but also with a hint of flattery.
Someone so young with such a large fortune, who can guarantee they won't be begging for favors? You have to treat them with some respect.
When He Wenlin returned home, the entire main room was piled high with glutinous rice cakes, eggs, duck eggs, radishes, cabbage, spinach, winter cabbage (an uncommon vegetable), and lettuce.
"Wow, so many dishes!" He Wenlin exclaimed.
"Everyone is so kind. Some of these gifts came from your uncles and aunts, and the neighbors also gave some. It's really a lot," said Grandma He. "Luckily, we have a lot of family members."
Since they wouldn't be able to stay home for more than a few days during the Chinese New Year, He Dashun didn't cook either. He planned for both families to celebrate together and eat together. With more people, food would be consumed quickly, so he wasn't worried about wasting food.
"Mom, what are we having for dinner?" He Wenlin approached the table and lifted the dish cover.
“There’s fish and meat, and your favorite cured beef too,” Aunt He said. “We’ll make egg dumplings tomorrow. Your great-uncle brought over two fresh grass carp today, and we’ve been frying them all afternoon.”
I just got back today, and I've been cleaning, making the bed, and preparing food non-stop.
Luckily, they had already bought all the New Year's goods in Shaoxing, so they could just drive back and bring them back directly. Otherwise, they would have had to rush to buy more New Year's goods after they got back.
After finishing their meal, He Wenlin said to He Wenhua, "Brother, come with me to town to sell goods tomorrow. Do you want to come? It's fifteen yuan a day."
“Sure,” He Wenhua agreed without hesitation.
Aunt He asked, "Xiao Jun, is it because you didn't sell all the goods this time, and you have a lot left over?"
He Wenjun nodded and said, "It rained on the day we came back and the day after we came back, so we couldn't set up a stall. That's why we still have more than half of our goods left."
"Sister, I'll go with you too!" He Wenjun volunteered. "I'll promote it for you."
“Okay, then you can come along too. The three of us will be in charge of one stall. Second Brother, you and Lin Fei, you prepare the goods for us tonight. Tomorrow morning, we can just take the goods and leave.”
He Wenjun: "Do we need to calculate the quantity so precisely?"
"This is about all we've prepared. It can be more or less, but you and Lin Fei need to count out exactly how much we can take with us tomorrow," He Wenlin said. "We're working for the three of you. No matter how good our relationship is, the accounts still need to be clear to avoid future disputes. It's the same when you partner with them. Every penny needs to be accounted for. Business is business, and friendship is friendship. If things aren't clear, it will be difficult to resolve any future conflicts."
Upon hearing this, Grandma He instructed her two grandsons, "Listen to what Linlin says."
"I know."
After finishing their meal, He Wenjun and Lin Fei went to prepare the goods for He Wenlin's stall the next day.
Just then, the villagers came to call He's father to play cards again.
Of course, Mr. He refused to go.
"What? Big boss, you look down on us lowly players, don't you?"
"Dad, you rarely come back, so why don't you go play a couple of rounds and have some fun?"
After He Wenlin finished speaking, her father looked at her in disbelief.
Then he shook his head like a rattle-drum: "No, no."
trap!
This was definitely a trap set by Wu Zetian for her!
I will never fall for that!
He Wenlin laughed and said, "Go have fun. We're going back to Shaoxing on the third day of the Lunar New Year, so you only have these two nights to play."
Too much control is not good either. It's the New Year, so it's understandable to let people have some fun.
This year, Mr. He performed quite well. In Shaoxing, when the factories near the fast food restaurant were on holiday, acquaintances would invite him to play cards, but he never played a single one.
"But you're not allowed to play big games, and you're not allowed to go to other villages to play," He Wenlin reminded her again.
"Your family's God of Wealth has spoken, what's wrong with playing a couple of rounds?"
"Let's go, let's go."
The two men dragged and pulled Mr. He away.
The whole family thought that Mr. He would definitely sit at the table this time, but to everyone's surprise, he refused to sit at the table. Instead, he watched others play, chatted with the villagers, showed off his daughter, and stirred up a wave of envy and jealousy.
Since He's father was able to resist the temptation of playing cards, He Wenlin rewarded him with two thousand yuan in pocket money when he came home that evening.
He was the poorest in the family, so without hesitation, Father He quickly put the money into his pocket.
"Cough cough cough." Aunt He coughed twice, stretched out her hand, and rubbed her thumb and forefinger together.
Mr. He sighed and handed over 1,800 of the 2,000 yuan.
The next day was New Year's Eve. After the whole family had breakfast, He's father drove He Wenlin and the others to town to set up a stall.
As they were leaving, He's father whispered to He Wenlin, "Next time you give me money, could you do it a little discreetly? The money hasn't even warmed my hands yet, and your mother has already taken 1,800 yuan from it."
"Hahaha," He Wenlin laughed, "Didn't they still leave us two hundred?"
"Oh, you guys have ten or eight thousand on you, but I only have two hundred."
"Here, I'll give you another four hundred, making it six hundred."
Mr. He happily accepted the money: "That's more like it."
No sooner had she finished speaking than He Wenlin added, "Give my brother and me bigger red envelopes tonight."
"You've barely had a chance to enjoy my money, and you want to take it back? Go ask your mom for your New Year's money!"
