Chapter 490, the difference is too big
After Laba, the Yan family began to prepare for the New Year.
The big room is the busiest. Yan Zhigao has to go to the office, and Mrs. Li has to take care of the household chores, and also prepares for the New Year gifts between the families. It is difficult to have free time all day long.
Erfang also has its own private property. In addition to Sun’s dowry, the rice fields and shops have been profitable over the years, and some fields and shops have been added one after another. At the end of the year, the Sun has to check the accounts.
is the thinnest Sanfang, because this year Yan Wentao received dividends from Liulichang, and he would take money from the house every month, and Sanfang also added some fields and shops.
Seeing that the eldest son is getting more and more promising, now the Wu family is also learning how to take care of the shop.
Regarding the two-bedroom and three-bedroom Zanjiadi, whether it is Yan Zhigao or Mrs. Li, both keep one eye open.
Now that the old lady is still alive, coupled with the brotherhood of losing her father to each other since childhood, Yan Zhigao will not leave her two younger brothers alone. But the tree has big branches, and this family will still have to branch in the future.
At that time, although he will not lose his two younger brothers, if the two younger brothers have their own possessions, the big house will be easier, which is also beneficial to them.
In mid-December, the only people in the entire Yan Mansion who are really free are Yan Siyu's mother and daughter. The old lady is also busy counting the gifts from all parties.
One morning, Yan Siyu brought Yang Xiuyun over to greet the old lady Yan, and when he entered the house, he saw a lot of things on the kang near the window.
"Mother, is this?"
The old lady Yan said with a smile: "Nanizi Daohua delivered it last night, saying that it is about to end the year. From time to time, there will be guests at home and let me use it as a reward."
Speaking, opened a ruler-long box.
In the box, there are more than half of the silver naked child, and the other half of the golden naked child.
The old lady Yan beckoned to Yang Xiuyun, and when she came to her, she grabbed a large handful of silver nudes and put them in her purse, and then handed them to her.
Yang Xiuyun quickly looked at her mother: "Grandma."
The old lady Yan didn't wait for Yan Siyu to speak, she smiled and said, "Good boy, it's almost ready. It's the end of the year, or use it for your own use, or reward others for cheap." Then, she took a small slap-sized box. Filled the box with naked gold and silver, and handed it to Yan Siyu.
Yan Siyu quickly pushed back: "Mother, I can't ask for this."
The old lady Yan pretended to be angry: "If you don't accept it, I will be angry. You have watched it. I still have enough for young and old here."
"Mother is supposed to be your daughter to honor you!" Yan Siyu's eyes were a little red, and his face was embarrassed and guilty.
The old lady Yan sighed, and took her daughter's hand: "I was sad at home and couldn't help you. Now that our family gets up, naturally you won't be left behind."
Yan Siyu has a nasal sound: "Mother~"
Old lady Yan: "Okay, take it, now our house is no longer than before. At the end of the year, there are more people coming and going. If you want to bring your children, it's not good for you to give nothing."
This gold and silver naked child was cast into the shapes of peanuts, gold ingots, and Chinese zodiac signs. It is beautiful and has meaning, and it is suitable for rewarding people.
When she thought of coming home, her mother-in-law gave her five hundred taels of silver. Yan Siyu's ears were a little red. At this moment, she had less than two hundred taels of silver.
The old lady Yan knew her daughter and didn't tell her much, she just stuffed the box into her hand, and then took Yang Xiuyun to look at the others.
"This piece of sheepskin is still intact, so I can use it as a pair of boots, and I can wear it during the Chinese New Year."
"And this big red feather satin, also use it to make clothes."
Looking at the old lady constantly stuffing things into her hands, Yang Xiuyun didn't go on, nor did she refuse, she could only look at her mother for help.
Yan Siyu hurriedly said: "Mother, Xiuyun has clothes to wear. Leave these to Yiyi."
The old lady Yan smiled and said, "You don't need to keep it for her, there is no shortage of these things for that girl."
Yan Siyu: "Then give Yihuan a few."
Old Mrs. Yan lowered her face and said, "Give my things to whoever you want." As she said, she put a lotus-colored silk and satin into Yang Xiuyun's hands, "Good boy, don't listen to your mother, take it back and make a few. A new dress."
So, Yan Siyu nodded to Yang Xiuyun.
Yang Xiuyun took something to the old lady and blessed her body: "Thank you grandma for the reward."
The old lady Yan quickly pulled the person up and said with a smile: "That’s right, put it away in peace, and I’m happy to see you all dressed up beautifully."
Knowing that the old lady was going to clean up some things, Yan Si’s mother and daughter didn’t stay too much. They sat for a while and left.
On the way back, Yang Xiuyun's face was dull.
Yan Siyu noticed, and asked: "Why, don't you like what your grandmother gave you?"
Yang Xiuyun said frustratedly: “I don’t like it, it’s just that Yiyi’s cousin is just a few months older than me, but she’s so much better than me. My daughter thinks she’s so useless.”
Yan Siyu touched her daughter's hair, and sighed: "Yiyi has her own good, and you have your own good. People are different from each other."
Yang Xiuyun shook her head, and said a little excitedly: "Mother, do you know what? Yesterday I went to Daohuaxuan and saw Yiyi's cousin checking the account books. At first I thought she was helping the aunt. The account books are all Zhuangzi, Tiandi, and shops under her own name."
"Mother, you haven't seen it. There are several stacks of account books alone, and each one is very thick. The abacus used by cousin Yiyi to settle accounts is made of white jade."
"Not only that, but after I went to Yihuan and the others, I found out that they were also reconciling accounts, and they all had their own shops under their names."
"Mother, how come the cousin of the Yan family lives so wanton?"
Yan Siyu hurriedly took her daughter, patted her hand comfortably, and sighed: "I heard your second aunt talk about this. Originally, Yan's family was the same as ours. It was only when the Yan family opened a shop and bought a Zhuangzi."
"In the beginning, your eldest uncle was not optimistic. Who knows that the girl Yiyi is a bit capable, not only the crops in the field are good, but the things in the shop are also sold well."
"There are many brothers and sisters in the family, and comparison is indispensable. Seeing that Yi Yi has such a wealth of money, Yi Huan and his parents also borrowed money from their parents and learned Yi Yi."
"Yiyi is also a minded person. The younger sisters came to ask for advice on how to run the shop. She knew everything about it. The three of Yihuan were also smart, and they really managed the shop."
"Mother didn't ask about the specific situation of the store, is it good?"
Yang Xiujun nodded: "Cousin Yiyi will not say anything. Look at the things she gave to her grandmother, such a big box of gold and silver naked boy, just to make a lot of silver, you can imagine how rich she is. "
"The shops in Yihuan's three hands are also very profitable. When I went yesterday, I happened to see cousin Yishuang giving things to Aunt Lin. Among them, there was a pack of silver, bulging, and it was at least a hundred taels."
Looking at the envy in her daughter's eyes, Yan Siyu sighed: "Girl, like your uncle's house, it is rare in everyone's backyard. Most girls are the same as you."
The girl’s family has their own assets before marriage, even if the big family dotes on their daughters, there are few like their natal family.
Yang Xiuyun nodded dullly: "I know, that's why I feel that although the Yishuang cousin is a concubine, she is happier than many other concubines because she was born in the Yan family." At least she is better than the Yang family. It will be much better.
Both mother and daughter were immersed in their thoughts, but they didn't notice Yan Yishuang around the corner.
Looking at the two passing by, Yan Yi's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help thinking of the envy of the girl from another family member at each banquet, and then thinking about what her aunt and cousin Xiuyun said today, her expression was a little dazed.
It turns out that in the eyes of others, she is so happy.
Maybe, she should really be content.
"Let's go, go back."
"Girl, let's not go to Shuangxinyuan?"
"Not going anymore, my aunt is still under foot restraint. Although my mother agrees to visit me, we still don’t go too often."
Yan Yishuang walked back to the yard, her thoughts a little erratic.
In the past, there was an aunt by her side, and what she heard most was to seize her father’s favor. In the past two years, her aunt had forbidden her feet. Without her life, she found that she was living happier than before, at least now she can do it. There are many things that I like, so I don’t need to think about inviting them to be pampered from time to time.
