The wind and rain from Cuifeng Village and the Yue family naturally did not come to Luohe Prefecture. When You Jin sent a letter to the Han family, he only said that he had settled in the south, and did not elaborate on where he settled down, not her. I don't believe in the Han family. It was really the Yue family that made her taboo Mo Shen. She really didn't want to get in the car with the Yue family at all.
During the Shangyuan Festival, Luohe Prefecture was full of people and it was very lively.
There are also six or seven lanterns with different shapes hanging in front of the Sujiaxiang Gate, and Luohezhou, which is full of lanterns, is in the festive carnival. The clamor of hawking and laughter in the street are endless, and the pedestrians walking shoulder to shoulder don’t know where they are coming from, and they don’t know where they are going. Everyone has a happy smile on their faces, making the cold winter that has not yet dissipated.
"You Jin, don't carry Kang'er away." Today, the Su family has also come to the city. First, the Su family has never seen the lanterns, so they join in the fun. Second, the business in the shop is really good. , and then pulled Su Shi also out to help.
You Jin hugged Kang Er and looked at the jade rabbit lamp hanging under the eaves of his shop. Kang Er couldn't take his eyes off it, and kept trying to reach out to grab it, which made You Jin Zhile: "Hey! I know!"
Xiao Qi was also carried by Han Li, who was holding Han Erhua in one hand, on his back. He looked at the beautiful lanterns and the tourists outside. Lights!"
But Han Li had been begging for food in Luohe Prefecture for two or three years. Naturally, he knew that some children would be kidnapped every year during the lantern tour. He just shook his head silently.
Seeing that he was unwilling, Xiao Qi could only sigh, but he didn't cry and want to go out. He just sat on Han Li's back and watched the lively pedestrians outside.
"Miss Su." It turned out to be He Xuanhai, who was traveling with her classmates. From a distance, she saw You Jin standing under the lamp with Kang'er in her arms. Perhaps the lanterns on the New Year's Day are so beautiful that they have always been dubbed by the classmates as ignorant. At this moment, He Xuanhai's mind was full of a girl with a soft smile on her face, and the thunder of the sky stirred the fire, and it was already out of control.
Hearing someone calling him, the smile on You Jin's face became sparse and polite. When he turned around and saw that it was He Xuanhai, he nodded with a smile: "Brother He."
Seeing that the smile on her face was completely different from the previous one, and seeing Han Li standing guarding her like a green pine tree beside her, He Xuanhai felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, and he sipped. She pursed her dry lips and said, "Why did Miss Su come out to look at the lights by herself? There are people everywhere during the Spring Festival, why don't I take you back?"
You Jin smiled and declined: "Thank you, Brother He, for your kindness. Han Li has come out in a mule cart. We will wait until there are fewer people before leaving." Seeing the loss that could not be concealed on the young man's face, Young Jin had to apologize to him. "Brother He, are the two over there your classmates? They're calling you!"
He Xuanhai still wanted to say something, but was diverted from the topic by Young Jin. He had always been thin-skinned, and he couldn't say anything else. escaped.
After He Xuanhai left, You Jin was also greatly relieved. It wasn't that she didn't see the suspicious blush on He Xuanhai's face, but she only thought that he was an ignorant teenager, so she didn't take it to heart.
"He's really a nerd." Han Li, who was on the side, suddenly said such a sentence for some reason, causing Young Jin to look sideways for a while, but he didn't say anything.
The flower lanterns didn't end until the beginning of the second watch. Tonight, the city gates of Luohe Prefecture were opened after the end of the lanterns. Seeing that the people on the street were almost scattered, everyone in the Su family hurriedly cleaned up, and then the Su family and Yulan. , You Jin and others were holding a sleeping child alone. Because there were so many people that they could not sit down, they even rented an extra mule cart, and the two mule carts went to Luohe Prefecture one after the other.
When they got home, everyone washed up and hurriedly fell to sleep. After all, today was really busy from morning to night. Xin Yi and the others who greeted the guests in front were talking about their dry throat, and Bai Zhi Shan who was kneading noodles and making snacks in the back kitchen. / Nai and the others are too tired to lift their arms.
However, everyone's tiredness is also rewarded. Although they are tired today, they have earned nearly four times their usual income. After Young Jin recorded today's earnings, he fell down and fell asleep.

After the Spring Festival, the river workers also started to work again. The river workers' dormitory, which had been silent for more than half a month in the Su family, was full of people again. This year, many more people in Wuliqiao Village vacated a yard room to rent to the river workers. , There are many more handsome men in and outside the village.
The spring breeze in February is like scissors, and there are some blowing winds that only hurt people's faces, but Young Jin has to carry the cold wind blowing, running around the market every day, looking for a suitable caravan to bring something back for him , and went to Chen Yaren to find a team of construction teams, ready to build a new house on the two acres of wasteland next to the Su family's house.
Chen Ya has a wide range of people, but he found the construction team in two days, and then brought the head of the construction team, a strong middle-aged man named Zhao Er, to meet Youjin.
After listening to You Jin's general request, Zhao Er clapped his chest to answer the errand: "Don't worry Miss Su, the house I built by Zhao Er is guaranteed to satisfy you!"
Zhao Er has also been doing construction in Luohe Prefecture for more than 20 years, and there are a lot of people in this industry. Those wood, blue, brick and tile building materials are all available three or four days before the start date agreed by the Su family. delivered.
After the second day of the second month, when the dragon raised its head, which was also the first birthday of Xiaoba and Kang'er, on the eighth day of the second month, the construction of the Su family's new home officially started.
You Jin has reserved enough money to build a new house this time. Zhao Er is also a matter of time. Within the range that Young Jin can accept, the materials used are the best. , Zhao Er, a construction team of nearly 30 people, hurriedly rushed, and finally covered the last tile of the Su family's new house before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Although the construction period of nearly three months was a bit long, because of Zhao Er's presence, Young Jin didn't put much thought into it, and he has not stopped for the past few months, and has been running around.
The 56 acres of fertile land that the Su family had newly bought had already been planted with food at the beginning of the spring. As for the newly bought 100 acres of barren hills, Youjin also hired 20 people from Houjiawan to sort out the miscellaneous trees and weeds on the barren hills. After it was clean, the 100 mu of barren hills surrounding his house were all planted with thorn rose trees as a fence.
After the barren hills were cleaned up, a small stream that had previously flowed through the barren hills was diverted and diverted, and the 100 mu of land was included in the irrigation range as much as possible.
After the cleaning here was almost done, the groups of merchants from south to north that Young Jin had looked for also brought back what she asked for. Jin just felt very distressed.
You Jin has been so busy recently that she has been so busy that she has not touched the ground, pulling back a cart after a cart of things. Everyone in the Su family is in a fog. Even the Su family, who is usually not in business, looks at the unknown people who are piled up in the courtyard of the house. The famous saplings went to You Jin with some concern and asked, "You Jin, what are you doing? What kind of saplings are in this yard?"
After recording the money from the new flowers, Young Jin put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile, "This is the sapling that will be planted in Houjiawan, there are osmanthus trees, peach trees, magnolia trees and thorns. The rose trees are very miscellaneous."
"Are you going to plant seeds for our family's dim sum shop?" Su Shi was the one who taught Youzhu and others to make dim sum, and as soon as You Jin said this, he knew what these were for: "But our family just How can such a dim sum shop use so much land?"
You Jin pushed Mrs Su down to sit on the kang, and then briefly explained her plans: "Mother, my future goal is not just this dim sum shop. When these flowers bloom, let's raise some more bees. A hundred acres of flower forest, just picking honey is a big profit, and such as thorn roses, not only can be used for snacks, but also can be dried to make flower tea?"
Young Jin's ambitions are not limited to the present. A dim sum shop can survive only a few thousand taels a year. She has seven younger sisters to marry, and she has to support such a large family. Naturally, she has to scratch her head to make money. the way.
"Flower tea?" Su Shi was a little puzzled. "Can this flower be made into tea? It's really fresh!"
Youjin said with a smile: "Of course it is possible, I read it in a medical book that thorn roses also have the effect of beauty and beauty! Think about how many rich wives there are in Luohe Prefecture. , they are naturally the most beautiful, this business has not been done yet, we have so many places anyway, why not try it?"
The Su family has always been convinced of the eldest daughter. Seeing that she is so well-intentioned, she will naturally not block her, so she will do it.
Although Youjin now has 100 acres of land, she can't afford to buy so many saplings at once, so she has to plant the first batch of saplings this year, peach trees, thorn rose trees, magnolia trees, The sweet-scented osmanthus trees and the pear trees are two acres each, with a vertical distance of thirty feet between them. As for the rest of the land, we just continue to compost and compost, and we will make plans after slowly raising the fertility of the land.
After Youjin was done with all these things, the cold wind in early spring and February had long since disappeared, and now it was the April sky when the grass grows and the warbler flies. The Su family's new house is still busy every day, and the sunflowers and garlic seedlings planted in the open space next to the Su family have also grown green branches and leaves, growing wantonly in the misty spring rain.
There are more and more river workers at Wuli Bridge. Xu was ordered by the imperial court. The speed of excavating the river channel is advancing faster and faster. In just over two months, the tidal flat in front of Su's house has been dug.
Since the people outside were all grown-up men, Su Shi and Yulan kept the little girls under stricter control at home, for fear that something might happen. However, the Su family now has six adult and strong wolf dogs to guard the home, and no one would dare to recruit the Su family.
However, there will always be people who want money or their lives who want to try it out.
