Into the winter, the day began to snow intermittently.
The whole peach blossom village has become a vast expanse of white, and the color between heaven and earth has become the same.
After the snow, song Xintong did not go out any more, and his stomach grew bigger and bigger, so he could not tolerate any mistakes.
Song Xintong sat in the room, holding hot tea in his hand, looking out of the window, looking at the snow on the wall tiles, a piece of pure white, and the ice under the eaves, crystal clear, just like crystal, reflecting the gorgeous light.
Hissing - the water just mixed in the terrace outside the house is boiling again. Song Xintong leads the kettle to the door, walks along the dry eaves to the edge of the pot, uncovers the lid of the pot, and takes a ladle to fill some boiling water in.
When it was cold in winter, the room couldn't keep warm, so it was always on fire, and the water had to boil dozens of times every day, so she had to watch the pot from time to time.
If it's from the Song family, it's better to burn it in the house. But if the house foundation is to be buried, the whole yard will have to be renovated, but it's too troublesome. So in summer, we only repaired their house and Lu Mu's.
Lu's mother is more economical. She doesn't stay in her yard every day. She goes to song Xintong's and Lu Yunkai's house every day and looks after Song Xintong by the way.
This is not, looking at Song Xintong with a big stomach, hobbling outside, Lu's mother is particularly worried, for fear that before the underground accidentally stained with water.
Lu's mother put down the embroidered screen in her hand and hurriedly went out. She added a few sticks of firewood, carried the kettle back into the room, and closed the door again. "Why don't you call me?"
"Niang, you concentrate on embroidery. I'll do something. It's OK." Song Xintong, sitting on the very comfortable soft pillow, picked up the account book just sent by Lingnan restaurant and continued to look at it. She made a lot of money in the first two months because she introduced roast suckling pig, roast chicken and roast duck in the restaurant. They are very popular. Besides roast suckling pig, other roast chicken and roast duck are not very expensive.
Restaurants can also provide roasted sheep, but these must be reserved in advance. Diners can provide food materials in the past, and they can also let the restaurant purchase. In October and winter months, the restaurant has received many orders for roasted sheep, which are big customers who are not short of money.
Jiang Mingzhao also took his friends to roast several times, and his friends often took care of the business because of the delicious roast sheep.
Although they can't compare with the big restaurants in the number one restaurant, they are already among the best in the medium-sized restaurants. Many people are envious of their restaurants, but because of Jiang Mingzhao's cover, no one dares to make trouble.
So in the first two months alone, there were almost five or six thousand taels per month. Of course, apart from other costs and taxes, it is estimated that there will be four or five thousand taels. Now the bank notes have been sent.
Now it's the 10th day of the twelfth lunar month. Restaurants should have a holiday at most on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. They have to wait until the 8th day of the next year to reopen. It's also a trade rule.
Song Xintong now takes a look at the account book. If there is no problem, he will arrange the shopkeeper to give them monthly money and bonus.
Seeing that she had been calculating the accounts, Lu Mu asked, "can I help you to have a look?"
"No, mother. The shopkeeper has written it. I'll just look around. I don't think they will cheat." Song Xintong for one of the tricky or can roughly see, "there is no big problem on the lazy tube."
There must be something fishy about buying vegetables and meat. As long as it's not too much, song Xintong doesn't bother to care. As long as it's within the allowable floating range, she won't care.
Lu Mu said with a smile, "that's the same."
"On the 20th of December, Mr. Jiang, they will come to transport the last batch of vermicelli, and then they won't come any more. Mother, do you think the workshop will shut down at that time? Or wait until December 25 to stop work? "
Lu's mother said: "I stopped then. I've been busy for more than half a year. It's time to have a rest."
"Listen to the mother." Song Xintong took Xie Yi's bonus and monthly silver to calculate, "after shutdown, don't invite everyone to have a good meal?"
There are restaurants that will have a good meal together at the end of the year. It's a bit similar to the company's new year tour in previous lives, summarizing the past and looking forward to the future.
"Yes." With a gentle smile, Lu Mu said, "the rabbit house in the back mountain is very close to others. Do you want them to go home for the new year?"
"I have to ask them." Song Xintong remembers that although Cui ER and his wife signed the deed of identity, they still had brothers and mothers who were farming land in their hometown. They used to get together on New Year's holidays. "If I want to go back, I'll ask someone to help me in the village. If I don't go back, they can also let my family come to spend the new year together."
Lu Mu nodded, "why didn't you ask them about their family at the beginning?"
"It's my oversight. I didn't think about this layer." Song Xintong embarrassed said: "I'll ask later."
Mother Lu nodded and continued to embroider the screen.
This screen has been embroidered intermittently for more than half a year, and only half of it has been embroidered. If we put it off, it will be good if we can finish it next autumn.
In the early years, the Lu family lived on the excellent embroidery skills of Lu's mother, otherwise they could not build such a large yard.
After looking at the account book for a while, song Xintong felt that his eyes were a little swollen. He rubbed his eyes and looked up. There were snowflakes floating outside again. They fell on the window pane, soaked in heat, and suddenly turned into water and disappeared.
There's some wind.
Song Xintong closes the window, and the room is still bright. She goes to the bedside and folds all the children's clothes on the bed and puts them in the new cabinet beside. All the children's clothes are washed clean, waiting for their owners to come out and wear them.
Song Xintong walked back to the chair with a big stomach and sighed, "mother, why hasn't he come out yet? The doctor said it's about the 10th day of the junior high school?"
Lu Mu said with a smile, "what's the hurry? It's not time yet. The doctor says it's in December, maybe in the first half of the month, maybe in the second half of the month. Don't panic. "
"I'm just flustered." Song Xintong touched his stomach and complained in a low voice: "I feel crazy if I don't come out again. I can't sleep well at night and have cramps. I don't have to work so hard if I had a baby earlier."
"It's only half a month. Don't be afraid." Mother Lu comforted her: "are you hungry? I've cooked mutton soup in my room. I think I can drink it now. My mother will bring you some. "
Song Xintong felt his stomach, as if he was really hungry.
"Thank you."
Mother Lu went out of the house, stepped out of the yard under the thin snow, and walked forward. After a few steps, she saw Lu Yunkai coming in from the outside.
"Mother, why are you standing outside? It's windy again. Watch out for the cold. " Lu Yunkai worried to help Lu mother to the house.
Lu Mu stood in a dry place, frowning and gesticulating, and asked, "what did you say to Xintong? She seems to be impatient these days."
"She hasn't slept well these days." Lu Yunkai sighed, "maybe I'm afraid."
"Then you can comfort her. Don't be considerate of your wife because you are a man and a scholar, you know?" Lu's mother said lovingly: "I've cooked mutton soup in the pot, and I'm going to send it to Xintong. Come and have a drink, and you won't be cold."
"No, mother, drink more. I'm not cold in the classroom." The classroom is also equipped with floor heating. The water is burning in the outside room, and the hot air enters the classroom along the channel, which is warm.
Lu Yun said and went to the study: "I'll get the books and go back to give lectures with them."
"OK, watch out for the slippery floor."
