"It's been a month and 22 days since our dim sum shop opened, and we've made a total of 5,032 taels!" In the dead of night, in the main room of the Su family were Su Shi, Youyin, Youzhu, Youbao, and Youjin. There were five mothers and daughters, and You Jin whispered to the four of the results of her accounting in the past few days: "Among them, I got forty-seven taels from selling cantaloupe seeds, and the remaining four hundred and fifty-six taels were earned by our dim sum shop. back!"
"So much!" Not only a few children, but Su Shi was stunned: "You Jin, are you right? Our family really made so much money?" Su Shi really didn't dare to think about it. Can make so much money.
The four children also looked shocked: "Five hundred taels! Is that so much silver!" Young silver and young beads are busy with Young gold every day, so they naturally know that they are making money, but they did not expect to earn so much. many. Young Zhu, whose mind was turning fast, immediately thought: "Eldest sister, how about we open another shop next year?"
Seeing that everyone was so shocked, You Jin smiled and said: "Although we earned more than five hundred taels, we originally spent about two hundred taels to buy a shop and buy people. After this, there is not much left. If we open another shop soon, money and manpower are all problems, and if we go too far, there will be problems.”
"I've already thought about it. When the spring starts, our house will have to be rebuilt. Now that there are so many people in the family, let's not say anything else. We sisters also want one room per person, right?" Keep it, rebuild the house, buy more land, it's all about spending money.
The sisters were very excited when they heard that they could have their own room. They all started to give advice to Youjin: "Elder sister, then we have a big kitchen!" "Yes, we also need a yard, and there are peach blossoms on the hill behind, we can plant some peach blossoms!"
"Okay, okay, the more you talk, the happier you are. Go to bed earlier, tomorrow is New Year's Eve." Su shi smiled and comforted a few daughters who were already jumping up.
Youjin nodded: "After the end of the new year and the thaw in the spring, we will start to choose a site and build a house." After talking to the four mother and daughter of the Su family for a while, he came out of the main room and went back to the east wing to sleep. Down.
***
In the early morning of New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers was heard intermittently from somewhere, and after stretching a lot, You Jin got up from the warm kang, and saw the figure shaking outside through the clear paper pasted the window, it turned out to be the Su family's The little girls are playing in the yard.
"Ah! Third sister, please don't throw the cannonball at me!" Youbao, who was chased by Xiaozhu with the cannonball, was hiding and screaming. The little ones were very happy to see them, and followed behind the two of them. Chasing and running, laughter sounded in the yard, and the snow-white house seemed to be full of vitality and very lively.
The little bead, who was running a little sweaty, ignited a cannonball, and then quickly threw it next to the young treasure. The small cannonball was not very powerful, but it made the young treasure cry, and when the savior came out, she hurried over: "Eldest sister. , Third Sister, she bullied me!"
"Su Youbao, you are so embarrassed. If you can't win by yourself, ask the elder sister for help!" Youzhu made a face at Youbao with a "lie", her face was red, she was really energetic.
Youjin patted Youbao soothingly on the shoulder, then said with a smile: "Okay, I'm sweating, go in and wipe it dry with a handkerchief. But you have to endure it.”
Seeing what the elder sister said, several children obediently went in and wiped off their sweat. Seeing that the sisters, who were all well-dressed, had been serving delicious food for a year, they had grown up a lot, and they had grown a lot. Quite a few, with the appearance of the little beauties, Young Jin only felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Wiped away the sweat and drank some hot soup to ward off the cold, it is time for the Su sisters to study again. According to Yulan's arrangement, the Su sisters have one hour each in the morning and afternoon to study, even on New Year's Eve, there is no On vacation, you still have to learn what you need to learn.
The Su sisters started class, but Xinyi, Shannai and others did not have time to spare, they were going to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner tonight.
The Su family had a lot of people during the Chinese New Year this year, so Young Jin bought a year pig directly from a family in Wuliqiao. After killing it, it was directly used for some of the Su family to make smoked bacon and two hams. The rest Then they are all frozen and eaten slowly, plus the cabbage and potatoes that can be kept at home, and the chickens that have been raised for a year can also be eaten. Youjin still buys them in Luohe Prefecture. After half a slice of mutton, I don't have to worry about whether the New Year's Eve dinner is rich or not.
Su Shi can now don't have to do it herself, but she is still used to cooking for her daughters. She asked Xin Yi to watch the two little ones, and she and the five girls in the kitchen started to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner in an orderly manner. .
The Su family's New Year's Eve dinner this year is not too small. The Su family's ten members, Yulan, Xinyi and other seven people, plus Uncle Wang and Brother Han Li, just happened to be twenty people's New Year's Eve dinner, so the Su family decided to prepare a six One dish and one soup, each dish is a big pot full, so I'm not afraid of running out of food.
New Year's Eve was a good day. As the sun set in the west, You Jin and a few younger sisters posted the couplets outside the Su's yard by hand, and stood at the door of Su's house, looking at Wuliqiao Village on the other side of the river. The smoke was also curling up, and a faint golden light shrouded the vast land. The snow-covered land in the distance was also golden. From time to time, there were a few barks of dogs, the sound of children laughing and playing, and the sound of intermittent gun battles.
He let out a deep breath of turbid air, which instantly turned into a white fog and then disappeared. Only then did Young Jin turn around and enter the house, then closed the half-worn wooden door to block the warmth of the room from outsiders.
The New Year's Eve dinner was set in the main room of the Su family, and the genius was slightly blackened. After Baizhi brought the last bamboo shoots and chicken soup on the table, You Jin smiled and held up the tea cup in his hand: "Today's New Year's Eve, I will use tea instead of wine, thank you. Everyone has worked hard this year, and I hope we can work together next year to earn more money, eat better food, and live in a bigger house!"
After listening to You Jin's words, in the brightly lit main room of the Su family, everyone laughed: "Yes! Earn more money!" They all stood up and toasted with tea instead of wine.
Uncle Wang was the only one who drank, and You Jin also deliberately beat half a catty of good Zhu Yeqing to come back for Uncle Wang to overcome his addiction. After drinking a bowl of wine happily, Uncle Wang said with a smile: "I am so old, it doesn't matter whether I have money or not, I will only be satisfied when I can drink better wine next year!"
"Okay! I will definitely give you a better wine next year!" You Jin responded with pride, and then said, "Everyone, grab your chopsticks, it will be cold if you wait!"
The Su family's New Year's Eve dinner was plentiful and delicious. In addition to the hot kang, it even brought the whole house very hot. Everyone's mouth was full of oil, and their bodies were steaming. This meal was enough to eat It took half an hour to finish, and only the leftovers were left on the table.
After eating, Uncle Wang was so drunk that he went back to the river worker's dormitory to rest, leaving only the two brothers Han Li to stay with the Su family.
"Youzhu, you bring Erhua and the others to the warehouse to take out the fireworks you bought a few days ago and burn them!" Standing under the eaves of the porch, looking at the starry sky with a clear sky, Youjin smiled and gave a few It's just boring kids looking for a fun thing to do.
Sure enough, as soon as You Jin said this, several children cheered and went to the warehouse, and only Young Jin was left standing in the corridor and watching.
"It's been half a year since you came to our house, are you still used to it?" You Jin and Han Li stood side by side a few steps apart, looking at the children in the courtyard, and asked with a smile.
Han Li was also a man of few words, he just said "um" and said nothing else. Young Jin was not angry, and said with a smile: "I didn't want you to come to my house. I don't know my background, I have strong defenses, and I have offensive power, but Young Yin can't see you suffering and begged me for a long time." Shaking his head, "I can't do anything about her either."
This was the first time Han Li heard that he had come to Su's house. It turned out that she was begging for him! Looking at the figure in lavender clothes who were laughing in the yard, Han Li's eyes were full of gratitude.
"Forget it, it's all in the past. Since you've come to my Su's house, you can stay with us. If you want to leave someday, let us know in advance." You Jin sighed and said leisurely. To: "After all, there is a friendship, isn't it?" Brother Han Li did not sell their bodies to the Su family. If they wanted to leave, it was really a matter of time.
"I'm not leaving." Han Li rarely expressed his attitude. Seeing him say this, You Jin just smiled lightly and didn't make any comments.
Shou Sui is about to pass the child's time, but children rarely make it to this point. After playing a little bit, they all start to feel sleepy and want to sleep. The sisters who were sleeping in a row were carefully covered with warm quilts, and then Young Jin quietly exited the main room Su's room and went into the hall. At this time, Su's earned and Yulan were whispering to each other. Seeing her coming out, she Shut up immediately.
Seeing her like this, You Jin didn't say anything, went out of the main room and went back to his room, took the old book that was about to fall apart, and went back to the main room to sit beside the candle and watch with relish.
Besides, after Yulan listened to Su's words, unlike Su's excited face, Yulan frowned and shook her head: "Madam, you'd better ask the eldest lady about this matter, in my opinion. , the two are not compatible."
"What? Do you think You Jin is not worthy of the He family's eldest son?" Hearing her say this, Su Shi thought that Yulan felt that her family had surpassed the He family, and said, "Although the He family's eldest son is now Tong Sheng, But our family's young gold is not much worse than him! Isn't our family's business much better than He's?"
"Madam, it's not that we climbed up the He family, but I think it was the He family that climbed the big girl. The big girl climbed out of your stomach, and you are the clearest of her xinxing ability. What happened after coming to the Su family, our family's current situation is all the big girl came back with bare hands, looking at the whole Dafeng, which twelve or thirteen-year-old girl has such great ability?" In Yulan's opinion, The He family's son is just a little boy, not to mention the capital, even Luohe Prefecture can pick out a piece, but a girl like her own can't pick out a few even in the whole Dafeng, naturally the He family is the tallest. The Su family!
Yulan glanced at Young Jin, who was sitting a little distance away from the two, and whispered, "The big girl has a good idea, if you don't ask her what she means, you can settle it down. In the future, if the big girl finds out that she is not happy, this matter is It's a revenge for being a relative!"
Hearing what she said, Su Shi sighed, knowing that Yulan was talking about such a rationale, and Youjin had a right idea since he was a child. If he directly decided a marriage that Men Youjin didn't like, he was afraid that he would become an enemy. . He said: "You are right, I will tell her about it tomorrow!"
In the main room, there were also a group of little girls such as Shanna who were eating melon and fruit snacks, talking and laughing, but it was very lively. You Jin read carefully, but really didn't hear what Su Shi and Yulan were saying in a low voice.
