Dress up as a hot farm wife, take care of her cubs and raise her husband to farm

Cheng Xue, who lives in the back house of the government office, has also been busy with various things recently.

Although the Chinese New Year is still a while away, in order to free up some time, she collects and settles accounts in advance. Li Tian has been busy with her recently, and sometimes even has to stay up late.

Following the surge of wealth, barbecues, grills, car shops, Qingshui shops and other shops have all made money in the past six months. Especially the wave a year ago, it was so hard to count the money until my hands cramped.

The caravans come one after another, and now the government has come forward to help them. They only need to report the goods they need, and the rest of the time they will wait in the car shop.

Now I have free time, and when I have free time I want to kill time.

After traveling for such a long time, taking a bath is definitely not an exaggeration. It is also necessary to have a good meal, and it is even more necessary to go around and buy some gifts for family members.

In this way, the economy in the northern state capital was boosted, and the shop in Cheng Xue's hands was not just making a lot of money. Even though they had to give some to the Yamen, she and Xiao Qinglin still made money, and they made a lot of money.

Except for Bai Qian and Mrs. Zhou, the Gu family has nothing sent from the capital this year.

Of course, this was expected, so she wasn't angry.

He sorted out the money that Mrs. Zhou and Lian Yuying had received this year, gave it to Bai Wei, and said:

"Send the money to Sitong Bank. Give the letter to the inn and ask them to deliver it as soon as possible. Let the convoy take away the prepared things as well."

"Yes, slave, go now."

Bai Wei took the order and went out, while Cheng Xue continued to look at the account books.

This year's gifts for each family are different from last year, at least here in the northern state capital. When Li Yue got married, they all gave a lot of extra money to her, so this had to be repeated.

There is also Wanghe Village. Although the New Year gifts there have not been delivered yet, they are only available in the next few days. It is always a good idea to prepare them in advance.

"Mom, I'm back."

Li Tian's voice interrupted her thinking. She put the account books away with a smile and waited for the child to enter the house.

"Mom, sister Xinyi is so weird today. She always asks me about my brother from the Du family."

As the little girl said this, she took off her shoes and got on the kang, pulling a thin quilt to cover her legs. It was really too cold.

"I asked you to wear cotton pants instead of cotton pants. Now you know it's cold? Watch out for your cold legs in the future."

Listening to his mother's scolding, Li Tian playfully stuck out his tongue and said:

"No, I just walked a short distance when I got off the car. I was in the teahouse today. It was so hot in the room that I couldn't wear cotton pants."

Cheng Xue looked at the little girl who was getting longer and longer, pushed over a cup of hot tea, and said:

"It's rare that I let you go out to play today. Why are you back so early?"

"I can't help but come back. Shen Xinyi keeps asking me about my brother from the Du family. How do I know? I have to come back quickly."

Since helping the Du family's ancestors and grandchildren settle down in the northern city, the two families have rarely interacted with each other.

It's not that they don't interact with each other, it's that the Du family doesn't have time.

Mr. Du was restless, and he was a carpenter, so he relied on his grandson's reputation to find a job as a craftsman in the workshop. The family obviously hired servants, but he still went out to work and made a lot of money every month, even though the family didn't lack his little money.

Du Pingren was even busier. He not only taught at the Chengnan School every day, but also sorted out the school's accounts and restrained his wife. What happened to Li Huai last time, the master was not punished on the surface, but in fact, he was like a person who knows whether drinking water is warm or cold.

He used to have some say in the school, but now he has nothing but teaching.

Shen Xinyi is Shen Jue's daughter. She asked Du Pingren...

"Is she haircut yet?"

"No, she will get her haircut in March next year." After Li Tian finished speaking, his eyes widened and he added happily, "My mother asked her if she had her haircut. Could it be that she was like Du family brother, hehehe..."

Seeing the little girl's excitement, Cheng Xue smiled and nodded: "Otherwise, I really can't think of any other reason. After all, they have never met before."

"Well, that's true. Do you want me to ask?"

Gossip has no age distinction, just whether you are interested in the person or not.

"Don't ask. Marriage is a matter between their two families and we can't interfere. Come and see mother for this year's return gift."

After Li Yue left home, Li Tian took over her job and took care of the middle feed. I have started to get started slowly, and I believe I will be able to take care of it completely soon.

"Mom, are the things from the capital too much?"

Especially the Zhou family.

The Zhou family only had a few things sent from the capital a while ago, but my mother actually prepared so many.

Lose, lose.

Cheng Xue understood what she meant, smiled and shook her head without explaining.

For all Li Hui's troubles here this year, the head of the Zhou family must have been helping out in the capital a lot. As for Mr. Pang, although Li Heng was practicing in the suburbs of Beijing, he would go to Pang's house once a month. I think Mr. Pang was also very interested in him.

Then there is the eldest daughter's side. Although the houses and shops in the capital are ready, the young couple still need to be taken care of. Zhou Fang's wife Bai Shi must have helped a lot. This is all a favor and should be kept in mind.

The days are spent in the situation where you owe me and I pay you back. There is no need to be more serious about who is more and who is less. It will only make the relationship more complicated.

Bai Wei hurried in from outside, curtsied and said:

"Madam, second young lady, Dexi came over just now to tell this servant that Li Qingchun, the head of the Li family in Wanghe Village, has brought people. The master took them to Qingshui Bank and will rest at the car shop in the evening."

Li Yue knew that Li Qingchun was coming when she got married. She thought she would come after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but there was no sign of him. Just when they thought they would come over after the new year, this was delivered.

"Do you have any other orders, Master? How will they eat at night?"

"Back to Madam, the master said that you don't need to take care of it in the past few days. After sending those children to the military camp, we can entertain the Li clan leader."

"How many children are here in total?" Li Tian asked.

"Back to Miss Second, there are more than thirty people here. Two slaves have come. Their mothers work in the workshop."

Everyone who went to the military camp must be familiar with them. If he didn't know the basics, Li Qingchun would not dare to send them here. Not everyone can read, and it is completely impossible to compete with aristocratic families.

Take Li Hui's family as an example. Without the Li family's family assets, fields, and real estate, Cheng Xue would still be living on a calculated salary.

Not to mention how difficult it is, anyway, a penny has to be broken in half and spent.

"Okay, you go and find out how many children are here, and ask the cloth shop to prepare cotton-padded clothes and shoes to keep out the cold. This will be my New Year's gift to the children."

If they were still in the village, they would obviously not need to give these things, but it is different now. They are the governor of a state, or their wives, so they cannot spare the things they should give.

"Mom, do you need it for me and Si Dan?"

"You don't have to, you're still kids."

Cheng Xue smiled and shook her head, feeding the warm red date water to her mouth...
