Chapter 447 Zhengjiazhuang’s New Year’s Gift
Jiayin nodded and agreed happily, "Okay, listen to grandma. I also prepared some for my adoptive father to send to Uncle Huang."
During this period, Jiayin played during the day, but was not lazy at night and was busy in the space.
She was afraid that using the nursery too frequently would waste the land, so most of the vegetables were planted in those few acres of ordinary fields.
In other words, I was really greedy, so I raised dozens of watermelon and cantaloupe seedlings in the nursery to ripen them.
There is a great harvest in space now, and it will be a good time to harvest in a few days.
Not only was it enough for gifts at home, but she also prepared a copy for her adoptive father. She was even planning to cash it out and exchange it for some white, plump and cute silver locks!
Wenjuan sat aside and listened to her grandmother's discussion with her mother-in-law and aunts. She only answered with a smile when asked about her.
At this moment, she saw that everyone was asking for her sister-in-law's opinion, and she couldn't help but be curious, with a hint of curiosity on her face.
When Zhao Yuru saw it, she explained to her daughter-in-law, "Before, Mr. Hou gave Fu Niu'er a farm with skilled craftsmen. Even in winter, vegetables and fruits are often delivered. These things are relatively novel, so the family Prepare for the New Year’s ceremony.”
Only then did Wenjuan understand and responded, "Thank you, mother, I understand."
"Don't worry, just ask if you don't understand anything. From now on we are all a family, so don't be polite." Zhao Yuru took the opportunity to give her daughter-in-law some advice, "Our family doesn't have any messy rules. There is only one thing you must remember. It's about family matters. Don’t talk to anyone, not even your father, understand?”
Wenjuan nodded quickly, "Mom, don't worry, when I get married, I will become a member of our family. Our family is more important than anyone else.
"My father has a concubine and my brother who was born as a concubine. He will marry a real wife in the future and may have children. But I am just a married girl. I can live up to my conscience and do not forget to fulfill my filial piety."
Everyone felt sad when he said this. Mrs. Li patted Wenjuan on the shoulder and comforted her, "You're right, he's a good boy."
Tao Hongying also said, "At noon, we will steam jujube steamed buns and stew sauerkraut and big bones. If you are not tired, help me."
Wenjuan smiled with red eyes and replied, "Okay, Fourth Aunt, please teach me more, and I will get up to make breakfast later."
"You just got married and it's time to sleep. You don't have to get up early to cook. You can just help me at noon and night." Tao Hongying said smoothly, but Wenjuan blushed. She quickly stood up and said, " I'll make some tea!"
Everyone laughed when they saw her shy and running away.
Jiayin held two candied fruits in his mouth, his cheeks were bulging, and he moved around, spitting out a core from time to time. He smiled with his big eyes narrowed, really like a squirrel.
Tao Hongying couldn't help but nod her daughter's forehead, "I'll let you rejoice for a few more days before New Year's Eve, and I'll cut off all the snacks and candied fruits after New Year's Eve. You're not afraid of becoming a ball of fat, but you also have to be careful about rotten teeth!"
Jiayin quickly grinned and showed her little white teeth.
Although she is not used to the willow branches and green salt here, she works hard to brush her teeth in the space every night.
She doesn’t want to experience the world’s traditional method of tooth extraction!
It's a pity that Tao Hongying didn't accept this trick at all and made up her mind to cut off her daughter's "source of happiness"!
Fast forward, it’s July or Eight again, the New Year’s Eve has passed, smoke is curling up from the roofs of every house, and the fire in the kitchen continues all day long.
Steamed jujube steamed buns, frozen dumplings, sticky cakes, fried twists and oil cakes, fried meatballs, steamed bean buns…
The women wished they had to sleep, and spent all day and night cooking various kinds of food.
Life was not easy in the past, and even if I wanted to, I didn't have the chance.
Now the family is not short of food, and they have even shared the year-end bonus money, and their wallets are about to explode.
If I don’t cook more delicious food, I would be sorry for this good mood!
The school in Suijintan finally had a holiday, and the naughty boys went crazy and had fun in and outside the village.
Mr. Jiang has no family, so he still has to stay in Xincun during the New Year.
But the Li family had already told him to celebrate the New Year in the courtyard without preparing anything.
Families are also vying to send things to the school.
Your family made fried meatballs and asked your children to bring a plate. My family made steamed jujube cakes and had to send a few pieces too!
Mr. Jiang brought the little book boy Guli with him, and he had endless food to eat every day. Therefore, Mr. Li was very upright and handsome. After only a few days, he was fed the word "greasy".
Fortunately, Mr. Jiang woke up quickly and hurried to the hot spring valley to practice "dog pawing" every day.
In this way, he finally succeeded in maintaining his image...
Similarly, Mr. Jiang is not the only one who wants to maintain his image, but also the little girl Jiayin.
Lately, every day, she delivered seven or eight baskets of vegetables and a basket of fruits to her uncle’s restaurant.
Even if the uncle is very busy and cannot come back at night, he will always let Jia Huan’s newly married nephew come back.
As a result, Jiayin can earn a sum of cash almost every day.
In addition to the village's dividend money, her adoptive father's share was also given to her, which made her so happy that she could wake up laughing while sleeping.
During the day, if she hadn't pursed her lips tightly at all times, she would have been afraid of laughing out loud and turning into a little lunatic.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, pigs are killed in the village.
The big white pigs over there in the pig house, the boars have contributed countless offspring to the surrounding villages, while the sows have given birth to more than twenty piglets, which are now grown up enough to be killed.
After discussion, the village chief and others decided to kill both ends. The Peng family and the Liu family both wanted to give some away, but also left a pig leg for the Marquis, and sent it to the palace together with the vegetables and fruits from the Li family.
So, this morning, two big fat pigs were pressed on the wooden table, and white knives went in and red knives came out.
Before the boys could grab the pig urine, Ye Shan and Dongmei drove back from Zhengjiazhuang.
They sent Shui Yun and Shui Ling back last night. Jiayin, a small business owner, naturally wanted to express her gratitude to the farmer, so she took out the reward and took it away with the car.
Jiayin has never been to Zhengjiazhuang, so I don’t know what is missing there, but life is nothing more than basic necessities, food, housing and transportation.
So she packed sixteen pieces of the fine cotton cloth she had purchased earlier.
The big fat pig that was raised hard in the space was also caught.
In addition, there are two barrels of seafood brought back from the restaurant, and an additional two hundred taels of silver.
These things are not much, but they are her thoughts.
Shui Yun and Shui Ling carried the roast duck, wore new coats and skirts, and brand new silver-winged butterflies on their heads, and went home happily to celebrate the New Year.
Obviously Zhengjiazhuang was very grateful to the host family, because the two carriages brought back by Ye Shan and Dongmei could hardly hold them.
A box of furs of various colors, two red deer, two wild boars, two pairs of bear paws, six pairs of pheasants, six pairs of wild rabbits, a cage for ordinary hens, a cage for big red roosters, a cage for ducks, and a cage for goose , two barrels of live fish!
Two buckets of eggs, one bucket of duck eggs, and one bucket of goose eggs!
There are also two bags of dried mushrooms of various colors and two bags of peanuts and melon seeds.
One bag each of red beans, mung beans, soybeans, and rice beans.
In addition to these, there are several account books and a small box one foot square...
Everyone in the village came to help kill the pig, and they were really envious when they saw it.
The village chief uncle smiled and said, "Fu Niuer's village is really good. At least they are hard-working people. They can plant in the fields, swim in the water, and raise things at home. They are all so complete!"
"Yes," Uncle Zhao responded, "there are some good hunters in this village. Look at the red deer and wild boar, they all shot through the eyes."
Old Mrs. Li didn't want people to pay too much attention to Zhengjiazhuang, so she hurriedly packed up and moved things into the courtyard.
