Chapter 99
Jinghan and the others stayed in the mushroom house for a while, and then went back to their room.The four sisters, Jinghan, lived in the west wing of the backyard. Jingya and Jingwan both went back to the house to do needlework, but Jinghan came to the front yard again.

At this time, Mrs. Chen and Zhixiang also chatted for a long time, and they were a little tired. Besides, Mrs. Zhixiang and his wife were also newlyweds, so Mrs. Chen asked them to go back to Dongkua courtyard to rest.Zhixiang led Wanting away, and Chen slumped on a pillow, wanting to stare for a while.

Jinghan came in at this time, "Grandma, I have something to tell you."

Seeing that it was Jinghan, Mrs. Chen sat up and waved at Jinghan, "Come on, Jinghan, come to grandma, I'm so busy these days, I can't take care of you little guys."

Jinghan sat on the kang, looking at her grandma's white hair, she felt a little sour. "Grandma, let's discuss something with you. Will we let the eldest sister manage the accounts in the future?"

Mrs. Chen was taken aback, "Why? What's wrong with your elder sister and you want to take care of the account?"

Jinghan leaned closer to her grandma, "Grandma, think about it, my eldest sister is only fourteen, how many years can she stay at home? Don't hurry up and let her learn how to be a housekeeper, and then marry someone , but what should we do? Our family will definitely be better in the future than it is now, and my eldest sister’s marriage will probably be the same. If you don’t learn now, you won’t be able to do anything in the future?” Jinghan doesn’t care if these words are true What a little girl should say, she said directly.

Hearing what Jinghan said, Mrs. Chen immediately regained her spirits, "Yo, isn't it? You’ll be at a disadvantage. Okay, grandma understands what you said, so she told your mother at night that the accounts for our family’s wedding have not yet been collected, so let Jingya help. She can read and write, so it’s not difficult.” Mrs. Chen looked at the little granddaughter, she didn't expect this little person to be able to think of such things, probably something inspired her. "Jinghan, why do you want your eldest sister to learn how to be a housekeeper at this time? What's going on?"

"It's nothing? I just saw my little uncle getting married, and then I remembered. Now our family has relatives with the Lu family in the county. My little uncle is only 24 years old, and he works next to Zhou Tongzhi. Who can guarantee that in the future I will The little uncle won't be an official? After all, Mr. Lu has become the uncle of the little uncle. If you think about it this way, the girls in our family may have a good marriage in the future. Then you have to learn things well. "Jinghan knew that her words were not something an 11-year-old girl could think of, but for the happiness of her eldest sister, she had to say it. "Actually, we don't have anything to teach Mammy here, otherwise, we really should let the elder sister follow suit."

Mrs. Chen nodded as she listened. She really hadn't thought about these things, she was just happy about her son.However, it's a little strange that a little girl can think of this, right? "Jinghan, tell grandma the truth, how did you think of it?"

Jinghan rolled her eyes and said, "Yesterday my little uncle got married. Someone said there. He said that my little uncle must have a good future in the future, and the Xu family's daughter will be a rare wife candidate in the future. I heard it all." Someone else said it." This should be able to get through, right?

It was only then that Mrs. Chen came to a sudden, "So that's how it is. Let me just say, you little brat, can you think of this? Okay, grandma remembers this, so I'll listen to you." Mrs. Chen also knew that this was related to The Xu family's girls have a lifetime affair, so they are also very concerned. "Go and call your mother, I have something to say to her."

Jing Han agreed, and went to find Xue Shi when she went down to the ground.

Not long after, Mrs. Xue came over, muttered with Mrs. Chen in the room for a long time, and then came out.When eating at noon, Mrs. Chen asked Jingya to help gather the accounts of Zhixiang's marriage in the afternoon.When Jinghan heard it, she knew that her suggestion was adopted, and she was secretly happy.When my sister gradually gets in touch with more things, she won't think that she has no ideas at all.A woman can be gentle and virtuous, but she can't be completely independent.

Although the family members were a little strange, they didn't say anything.From then on, Jing Ya was in charge of the family's accounts.Gradually, even the daily needs are decided by Jingya, this is something for later, so let's not mention it for now.

On the [-]th, Zhixiang and Wanting returned home, but the county is too far away, so they will definitely not be able to make it back that day.So Mrs. Chen said, let them stay in the county for a few more days, so they don't need to come back in a hurry.So Zhixiang and his wife took the two maids and a coachman back to the county with a lot of things.

It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, and the family has just finished a wedding, so it is even busier.Zhixin and Xue were busy buying new year's goods, Jingya officially started to manage the family's accounts, and she had to distribute the money for each item.When you buy something, you have to keep accounts and so on, everything is very clear.

This year is the first year since moving to the town, and it is also the first time for Zhixiang and his wife to celebrate the New Year at home. Although the family spent a lot of money for Zhixiang's marriage, Mrs. Chen still wants to make good purchases for the New Year and have a good New Year.When Zhixiang got married, he killed two pigs, and there was still a lot of useless meat, which was frozen.

Jinghan's mushrooms are growing well these days, so she has resumed delivering mushrooms every day, so that she can earn one or two taels of silver a day.That's not bad, it's winter, where can I earn a tael of silver?As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Jinghan asked Wencheng to tell Baiweilou that the mushrooms from years ago would only be delivered on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and then they would not give them away.When the restaurant opens after the year, the mushroom delivery will be resumed.

Steward Sun replied, saying that the Twelve Restaurant will open in the next year, and it will be fine to give away some less at that time.

Jinghan didn't say anything, these fungus trees had produced mushrooms for more than two months, and now there are not too many mushrooms.It is estimated that it is about the same time, and it is not bad to just take a rest.As the end of the new year approaches, the family is busy every day. Steamed steamed buns, fried meat, croquettes and dried fruits are made with some delicious food every day.

Chinese New Year is the happiest time for children. They don’t have to work, and they can often eat delicious food.In addition to getting up early to practice martial arts and practicing calligraphy during the day, the boys help Zhixin chop wood and start a fire. After all, there are many houses in the family, and they all need to be lit. "Daddy, will there still be logging in the next year? Then we will have to pull more firewood." Wen Han asked while helping to stack firewood.

"Yeah, I really need to get more firewood this year. When we stop looking at the ginseng on the mountain, it will not be so convenient to pick up firewood." Zhixin took the time to say while splitting the firewood with an axe.The Xu family has been looking at ginseng on the mountain for three years, and it seems that the place has not been developed for a few years. The good places have been turned into ginseng soil, and the rest of the places are fragmented and not in pieces.It is estimated that in one or two years at most, we will have to change to another place and open another ginseng field.At that time, the Xu family will naturally just finish watching this place, and will not look elsewhere.

"Then we really have to think about it. We need to find a place, buy a piece of land or something, otherwise, this kind of land will be very worrying in the future. Dad, in fact, if there is a suitable place near our venue, we It doesn’t need to be too big to buy a piece of forest, and it’s good to grow this kind of ginseng planting slowly at home. Besides, look at the big geese, pigs we raise, and the tussah silkworm that Jinghan grows. Does it have to be on the mountain? Although it is far away from the town, where can I find that kind of suitable place?" Wen Han said everything he could think of.

When Zhixin heard his son's words, he felt very relieved. This son has really grown up and knows that he has plans for the family. "Okay, I know what you said. After the New Year, when you are free, Dad will talk to your grandfather. It's time to make a plan earlier, or else you won't be able to get your hands on it by then?" These things are true. You have to think ahead, otherwise who knows what will happen in the future?

Zhixiang and his wife came back only on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and this year it will be the 29th again, so in the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve will be here.This year Zhixiang was at home, so the old man took his four sons to visit the village grave together.

This year Mrs. Chen has spoken, asking Zhide and Qingnian to also come to celebrate the New Year, and this year they will have a good reunion year.So when the men left, the women started to get busy at home, making preparations like this.

Although Wanting has been married for a short time, she can also see that the Xu family is a very simple family, and it is also a big family with a loving father and a filial son.Although the life of the family is not very good, they are very dedicated and enjoy it.Wanting likes this atmosphere very much, and is willing to work with them and share the happiness together.So Wanting took the two girls to work with everyone. Although she had never done these things and could only do some simple jobs, she was still very happy.

When the old man and the others came back, meals had already been prepared at home.So everyone set up three tables in the living room, one table for adults, one table for children, one table for the servant brought back by Zhi, and two girls from Wanting. Everyone had a lively New Year's Eve dinner together.

The old man was very happy today. After several years, the family finally reunited once. "Wen Han, bring grandpa wine, grandpa is hungry."

Today's dishes are very rich, including chicken, fish, meat, and eggs. There is meat in each dish, as well as various fried meatballs, fish, dried fruits, mushrooms, etc. There are sixteen dishes in total. A big table full.

The old man asked everyone to pour wine, and even the women got a glass.The old man raised his wine glass, "Come on, everyone drank this glass of wine first, it's rare that our house is so well-equipped. Celebrating the New Year, I spent the year at your place the year before last, and this year, we are all a family, so there is no need For those foolish words, just eat and drink well." The old man drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
