Chapter 54

"The gift is too heavy this time, why don't you return it?"

"Take it, it will embarrass others if you return it"

"But this is too expensive, and the sum of what our family gives is not worth it"

"It's good to send some over there from time to time."

"Then put it away"

"Mother, you keep these and keep them as the bottom of the box. In the future, mother will also have some stock in her hands. Look, which old lady doesn't have any wealth?"

The old lady Luo laughed, "I am not an old lady, but I am honored by you because of your honor."

"I say you are you, don't say that our family is rich now, but poor before, you are also the old lady of the family, this is the honor you should have"

Mrs. Luo has been bullied for decades. When she heard this, her eyes turned red, and she finally got over it.

After lunch, Xi'er asked Ji Kang to stay at home with Mrs. Luo, because his leg was not fully healed and he couldn't go.

Let the workers leave one person to guard, and bring eighteen strong men to start clearing the snow.

She asked someone to clean the road in front of the house first, and then cleaned the road on the official road.

The whole town is being cleaned, and Xi'er can still see the mayor leading people to clean from a distance.

Xiao Jian saw that Xi'er from the Luo family brought so many strong men with him, so he tacitly led people to clean up the north, while Xi'er felt that he led people to clean up the snow in the south.

There are many people and strong strength. From Huaishu Town to the south, five miles of land were cleared, and it was almost the same distance to the north.

They don't know if other towns are cleared or not. Anyway, the mayor of Huaishu Town will personally bring people to clean up every year.

A town with a good leader is the blessing and support of the people of the town.

Xi'er is naturally willing to help with all her strength, and helping him is helping herself.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Xi'er called all the workers home, knowing that they were nervous at the end of the year and had a lot of money to spend, so she paid them a month's wages in advance.

The workers couldn't be more grateful, and Xi'er didn't want to settle the wages every day, which was too much of a waste of time.

"I asked you to come here, and I want to discuss with you, is it okay to pay the wages once a month, after all, it is very cumbersome to pay every day"

"Boss, what you say is what you say, we believe you"

"Well, if you are short of money at home, you can come to me to pay in advance, and you can also borrow money. As long as it is not a lot, I can lend it to you, and you can pay it back slowly in the future without interest."

"really?"

"Well, for example, building a house at home, marrying a wife, you can come to borrow from me, but there is one thing, you must not deliberately default, if you pay back the money early, after all, I also have to live."

"Yes, Master"

"The red envelopes are distributed below. Since everyone came to my house to work, they have worked very hard. It is the end of the year. Let everyone have a good New Year. Don't forget your money when you have money, and help the poor from time to time."

"Yes, Master"

"It's time to give out red envelopes, whose name I read, whoever comes forward, Yang Mu"

"exist"

"Your" Yang Mu took the red envelope, everyone booed and wanted to see it, and when they opened it, they all became excited.

"Five taels of silver ingots, wow, the owner is so benevolent, he gave them five taels, what about ours?"

"Liu Mu is in charge and has a lot to worry about. You are less than theirs. I still have to say some things on the bright side. You don't have any objections, do you?"

"No, no, Master Yingming"

"Yes, Liu Qing"

Liu Qing's is also five taels, and when someone calls it, it is three taels after opening, which is not a lot, and everyone is very happy.

"Thirty-thirty holidays, work on the sixth day, each local manager arranges manpower to be on duty in turn, if there is something wrong in the field, I will ask you."

"Yes, Master"

Vegetable prices have skyrocketed these past few days, and the town doesn't think it's a problem. Guarding her vegetable field is a waste, and people buy it together in small groups, and share it equally when they buy it back.

But other places can’t do it. Lao Ma took the vegetables away from the morning of the 28th, and Xi’er gave him five hundred yuan a catty. Lao Ma is not worried at all. Yesterday his vegetable prices increased to five hundred yuan. .

No matter how tall the girl is today, he will also grow. The four of them dragged the vegetables and even stopped in the town. They went straight to the county town and were robbed as soon as they went.

A large family does not have a dozen masters, twenty or thirty servants, and two or three catties is enough for everyone to eat, so every family buys five catties and five catties.

These days, their father and son are going crazy. They go to Luo’s house to pull vegetables before dawn, and they come back at noon to pull vegetables. They earn more than 100 taels of silver every day. Eating sesame seed cakes and looking at the white snow on the side of the road, I don't complain about suffering, and I feel happy in my heart.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Aunt Ma came with Uncle Ma’s car, and brought New Year’s goods to Luo’s family. She stayed at Luo’s house all day, chatting with Mrs. Luo for a whole day, until Pang Hei Lao Ma came home and passed by the town Just picked her up.

When they left, Xi'er also brought them the hawthorn rolls she made and a lot of fruit candies.

I thought that the thirty-year-old Ma and his son would rest, but they came out again. It was really hard work.

It was another two trips to pull the vegetables. Each of them almost carried two to three hundred catties of vegetables, and they were sold out every time. It seems that the prospects for the vegetables in the greenhouse are promising.

They sell vegetables, and Xi'er is not idle. Every family has to stock up for the New Year. Her family has all kinds of pickled vegetables, and people from the town keep coming to buy them.

She is in the warehouse during the day with the account book, and will receive one in a while.

They asked for a lot, and they were all in cans. I was busy until [-] o'clock before I locked the door and went home.

Mrs. Luo and Ji Kang were making dumplings at home. Seeing her come back, Ji Kang hurriedly cleaned his hands and brought her a cup of hot tea.

"are you tired?"

"fine"

"Why didn't they come to buy it yesterday, it must be today"

"When we do business, we can't refuse customers. When a shop is built in front of the workshop next year, we will set aside a room dedicated to selling our products, and collect rent for the rest. At that time, I will hire a shopkeeper, accountant, and assistant. I will be completely relaxed." myself"

After drinking water, she rolled up her cuffs and asked Ji Kang and Mrs. Luo to make dumplings. She made some dishes and prepared to stay up late at night.

The black bull and the black panther came to join in the fun, one was lying by the stove, the other was lying on the back of the black bull, they were inseparable.

"It's been a year of hard work, let's eat and drink well tonight"

"In the afternoon, Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Su brought New Year's goods over."

"Oh, I also sent them, brother, did you send it to the master?"

"sent"

Mrs. Luo lowered her head to make dumplings, and Ji Kang rushed to make dumplings. The three of them chatted about homework.

"Girl, your Aunt Ma came to the house yesterday and talked about the village affairs."

"Oh? What happened to their village?"

"Li Hu's house was on fire, and it was completely burnt down,"

"It deserves it, it's called evil comes with evil"

"I didn't mean to pity them, but I just felt that the girl who married Li Hu was too pitiful. Do you know what wicked things Li Hu did?"

"What's wrong with him?"

"That bastard actually let his group of cronies harm Mrs. Liu, forcing Mrs. Liu to pick up guests every night. He gave up money, ate and drank, and the whole family spent the money from Mrs. Liu's prostitution. My mother was heartbroken when she heard that. I'm having trouble"

"It's not a rare thing. Their family is so virtuous that they can't do anything."

"Why do you say that a good girl is so miserable?"

"No one can help her, if she wants to live, she can only help herself"

Xi'er was busy with the work in hand, and was not surprised by this, because she was the one who started the fire.

After the old pair came to make trouble that day, she went to visit her house at night.

I also saw with my own eyes the scene of Li Hu soliciting customers at home, and it was only because of the fire that this incident was exposed.

"That village chief is such a bastard. He let the villagers see him as if he didn't see it, and helped to conceal this matter, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world," Mrs. Luo said angrily.

"He was an asshole"

"Then why did the mayor let him be the village chief?"

"Because there are only a few migrant households in that village. After the new year, Uncle Ma's family will leave, and it will be the same for anyone who changes."

"It's a good thing that the Ji family didn't come. His family is also a trustworthy one. They didn't get back the money after they took it."
