I don’t know who leaked the news that Pei Tingyu was writing Spring Festival couplets at his doorstep, but as a result, a large group of military families came with their own red Spring Festival couplets to ask for couplets.
Seeing how outstanding her man was, Si Yang naturally had no reason to complain. She simply stepped aside and let him focus on serving the people.
Pei Tingyu wrote more than twenty couplets and quickly "closed the stall" while no one came.
When pasting window flowers, Si Yang asked him who he learned calligraphy from and how he could write so well.
Pei Tingyu smiled bitterly: "Back then, I was often locked in my room. What else could I do besides writing and drawing? I learned it through practice."
After hearing this, Si Yang stood on tiptoe and touched his head lovingly, "From now on, I'll leave the task of helping the child with homework to you."
This guy who was able to learn by himself while being abused... It's really annoying to compare himself with him.
Fortunately, it’s her man, he’s excellent!
For the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, Si Yang decided to make hot pot, which was prosperous, simple yet rich.
Winters in this era are colder than in the following decades, with temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius being the norm.
Fortunately, the Yangcheng Military Region was already providing heating through the boiler room, so the food didn’t freeze halfway through eating.
Si Yang prepared a double-boiled hotpot of seafood mushroom soup and spicy red oil soup.
The side dishes include beef slices, mutton slices, tripe, fish fillets, prawns, crabs, fried meatballs, tofu skin, and various fresh green vegetables, and the staple food is matsutake stewed rice.
As the rich and unique aroma of matsutake mushrooms wafted from the kitchen, the couple sat down at the dining table and began to enjoy the sumptuous reunion dinner.
Pei Tingyu looked at the huge table of food Si Yang had prepared and wondered, "Is this Chinese New Year? It's clearly a state banquet..."
In order to satisfy his appetite, Si Yang also prepared taro ball milk tea in advance. Since it was all made by himself, he could drink it with confidence.
It was the first time for Pei Tingyu to drink something so sweet and milky. He said it tasted as strange as tofu pudding with sugar added, but based on the principle of not wasting a grain of rice, he gritted his teeth and finished the cup.
Si Yang laughed at him for not understanding the joy of milk tea, and happily enjoyed a big cup himself.
After the New Year’s Eve reunion dinner, Pei Tingyu cleaned up the dishes, and Si Yang went into the space to settle the annual income.
With Pei Tingyu's participation this year, the area of cultivated land in the space is twice that of last year, so the total income has also increased by nearly two times.
The total income from crops and medicinal materials in the space reached 135,000 yuan, and the 900 kilograms of matsutake mushrooms harvested could only be purchased by the Grain Administration at a unit price of 80 yuan per kilogram in the future. Si Yang felt that it was not as cost-effective as last year, so he simply did not sell it.
Because she knew that in a few years, Country R would come to purchase a large number of matsutake mushrooms, and once they arrived in Country R, the matsutake mushrooms could be sold for thousands of yuan per kilogram, so it would be better to stock up on them now.
After statistics, the total income of the space this year plus the annual income of Si Yang and Pei Tingyu, plus last year's savings, Si Yang's total savings accumulated to 280,000. Although she did not achieve the 300,000 target set at the beginning of the year, she had a backlog of goods worth 70,000 yuan, so it was considered to have exceeded the target.
