After learning about some things, the Yue family in Dashi, Jiangjiawan, took the initiative to send ten ducks to visit their sister-in-law, who was going to be their future sister-in-law.
Their attitude speaks for itself; they are a good family.
Only then did Madam Zhou feel relieved, and she served noodles and fried eggs to the distinguished guests.
Xiaodie's brothers looked around the old house and were quite satisfied. After eating noodles, they left, citing family matters.
"Gagaga~"
Mr. and Mrs. Wu looked at the ducks scattered all over the ground and were filled with emotion.
Choosing the right family for marriage is crucial; otherwise, your children and grandchildren will be unhappy, which is incredibly painful!
The eldest daughter can get out of bed and walk around.
Some of the villagers who came to see her were turned away, while others were allowed in to talk to her.
Those who were allowed in were either close to the old house or former best friends of Da Niu.
No one reopened Da Niu's wounds; they only talked about the changes in the village.
It was around this time that Da Niu realized how much her family had changed, all thanks to her third aunt's help and support.
The more she listened, the more she realized how much her third aunt had changed. But what did it matter? Her third aunt was still her third aunt. The third aunt in her memory had become blurred; all she knew was that her current third aunt was the family's lucky star...
She also mentioned that her younger brother was engaged to a girl from Jiangjiawan. The girl was beautiful and kind-hearted; upon learning she had returned home, she specially sent her brothers with a cartload of ducks to nourish her body…
The girl smiled brightly, revealing a genuine smile.
When others saw this, they laughed along, saying that no matter how hard life is, it will get better once you get through it.
In the future, the clouds will surely part and the sun will shine through!
The end of the month is approaching, and the year-end is almost here.
Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant has posted a notice that it will be closing soon to prepare for the New Year. We wish all our customers a prosperous and auspicious New Year in advance...
The guests burst into laughter upon seeing this.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a humiliating laugh, it's a hearty laugh.
I must say, the shop owner's younger brother, despite his young age, has quite good calligraphy skills!
Especially the eighteen idioms of blessing that this kid wrote, none of them are repeated, and all of them have very good meanings!
Some people even memorized it, planning to use it when giving New Year's greetings.
Qingyun, quick-witted as ever, sensed a business opportunity. He used his pocket money to buy a lot of red paper, cut it up, and started writing Spring Festival couplets and antithetical couplets. He also wrote the character "福" (fortune) in different handwriting styles. Without even shouting, he simply pasted it on the entrance of the hot pot restaurant. After attracting customers, he started selling it...
Ahem, custom orders are welcome~
This is a new word he learned from his mother!
Haha, with this idea, he made a small fortune by using a small investment to achieve a big return!
After dinner, while checking the accounts, Jiang Yue saw this sum of money. After inquiring about its origin, she raised an eyebrow, offered a compliment, and then divided the money, handing it to the youngest son...
This month, the hot pot shop is doing very well, with a gross profit of 768 taels. After deducting the cost of goods and labor, there are still 646 taels of silver left.
Customers flocked over there; this month they ordered a thousand catties of hot pot base, bringing in a thousand taels of silver!
As usual, half of the public funds, 823 taels, were taken. With Jiang Yue's personal savings, she now had more than 960 taels!
Estimating that with two sons, even if it wasn't exactly six hundred taels, it would be close to six hundred taels!
Whew~
This year is a prosperous year; with money in hand, there's no need to panic!
"Business has been good this month, so we can't let Da Shi, Xiao Shi, Xiao Hu, Xiao Ma, and Qing Yun, who's helping out, down."
Jiang Yue closed the account book and discussed it with her sons.
"Yes, Mother, I'm thinking of giving everyone five catties of pork, two portions of pastries, and a box of shortbread when we pay their wages recently. Consider it an early New Year's gift bonus."
Qingshan has become increasingly mature, and his decisions are quite prudent.
Qingsong had no objections. He knew how tired everyone was, but they all worked with their brothers without complaint. They had to be paid and their benefits had to be provided!
"Alright, since you brothers all agree, let's do it this way."
Jiang Yue had no objections. Apart from initially investing her energy in helping to develop the hot pot base and offering suggestions, the rest was done by her sons and their friends. She was very satisfied with the money she received from the public fund.
Okay~
"Hmm~"
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled. They each had more than five hundred taels of silver on them now, and they were even secretly smiling in their sleep!
This year for Chinese New Year, they discussed and decided to give their mother two new outfits!
I also need to make a Ruyi bracelet for each of my mother's hands!
With more money comes more thoughts.
And for the little sister, make a pair for her too!
Grandma's side too!
The two brothers had no bad habits; all they thought about was providing a better life for their family.
Qingyun didn't have as much money as his older brothers, but he had his own ideas.
He wanted to write couplets for a few more days to save up some money so he could buy his mother a pair of deerskin boots!
The youngest, Qingyao, goes without saying; she doesn't even have a penny of her own savings. All her money comes from her brothers and mother's allowance.
Sigh, when will she grow up?
When I grow up, I can be like my brothers, earn money, earn lots of money, and buy Mom whatever I want!
The Qingshan couple went back to their house and, as usual, closed the door to count their money.
The heavy snow has gone from causing shivers to becoming a common occurrence.
Her husband is so good at making money; this is a sum she never dared to dream of before!
However, she was very sensible and never thought of giving money directly to her family so they could live a better life.
It was because of her understanding and rationality that Qingshan dared to entrust his entire fortune to his wife without reservation.
"Wife, come with me to town tomorrow to pick out some things. You have a good eye, so pick out some things for our mothers and the others."
"ah?"
Da Xue didn't react at first, but after she did, she looked at her husband with emotion.
My dear husband, you still remember her mother!
"Don't say I'm biased as your brother-in-law. When it's time to pick out fabric for Yao Yao, I'll pick out a couple of outfits for Xiao Xue too."
Qingshan couldn't resist stealing a kiss on his wife's cheek. He was happy to spend money on his family, and he was also happy to spend money on his wife's family.
As for what others say, what does it matter to them?
Da Xue covered her cheek where she had been kissed, and said shyly:
"Thank you, my husband."
"No need to thank me, we are husband and wife, it's only right."
After saying this with a smile, Qingshan got up and went out.
Da Xue covered her face and giggled foolishly, then carefully packed the silver into a box and hid it away.
In fact, the two have shared a bed since they got married, but they use different blankets.
The husband remained restrained, saying that they would truly consummate their marriage next year...
Last time her grandfather was sick, she went back to her parents' home and chatted with her mother for a while.
Her mother told her that she should be filial to her mother-in-law and always put her mother-in-law first.
If it weren't for her mother-in-law's good upbringing, her lack of concern, and her generous care, her family wouldn't be living such a comfortable life now...
Her mother began to worry that she hadn't conceived since she'd been married for so long.
She told her mother that her mother-in-law pitied her young age and told her to wait a little longer.
Mother smiled and said that next spring, when the flowers bloom and she consummates her marriage, if she becomes pregnant, Mother will stew chicken soup every day to ensure she gives birth to the child...
"Honey, come on, soak your feet before you go to sleep."
"Oh dear, I haven't had a chance to bring my mother her foot bath water yet!"
"No need, I've already delivered it. You go to the bar, Mom won't think anything of it."
"Sigh~"
