Chapter 95 96, Planning

   The next morning, Li Yu asked Butcher He to help buy two big fat pigs and dozens of fish. He also brought the cloth and brown sugar that Zhaocai bought from Tongzhou and moved them out of the warehouse.

   Li Yu said to everyone with a smile: "We will have a holiday from now on. I will give everyone my wages and prepare some New Year's goods for everyone. Our people in Fengming Village will have a good year this year."

   Everyone looked at the fish in the big fat pork frame on the chopping board, as well as the cloth and sugar piled there, and smiled, "Thanks to Xiaoyu and Mr. Zhou, everyone has a big fat year."

   "Okay, I'll send you wages and New Year's gifts."

  The wages of these people in the village are at most 15 taels from Chen Yaohui's family, and at least 78 taels. Li Yu also distributed meat, fish, two pieces of cloth, and two packets of brown sugar to each household.

   The big guy carried meat and New Year's goods, and thought about his life in the coming year with a happy face. Li Qing helped sell goods in the shop, and it was only on the 28th that he returned to Fengming Village with Zhaocai.

   As soon as Li Qing got home, Zhou Jia took him to test and teach him his homework. After the test, he praised him: "A-Qing is not bad, I have made great progress, my brother-in-law will reward you with a set of pen and ink to continue your efforts in the future."

  Li Qing stood up and looked at Zhou Jia, and said with a smile: "Future brother-in-law, you have passed the test for me, now it's time for me to test you."

   Zhou Jia knocked on Li Qing, "Little brat, brother-in-law has a future with his brother-in-law, test me? What do you want to test me?"

Li Qing pouted, "You haven't gotten married to my sister yet! Of course it's my future brother-in-law, I can tell you that I get up early every day in Tongzhou to practice the moves my sister taught me, and I've been practicing non-stop! Today! We gesture, gesture!"

   Zhou Jia rolled up his sleeves, "Come on! Let's see who of us works harder."

Li Qing took Zhou Jia upstairs to make a gesture, and he was still talking while beating, twisting his wrist and breaking his arm, grabbing his wrist and pressing his arm... The two fought hard until Li Qing was slapped down by Zhou Jia's palm. land.

Li Qing was a little convinced, stood up and patted the ashes on his body, and smiled at Zhou Jia, "Brother-in-law, you learn things too well, but when I reach your age, I will definitely catch up with you, even better than you. ."

  Li Yu stood at the door and looked at Li Qing's confident and uplifting appearance. He walked over happily and smiled at the two of them, "Uncle Zhou said you two are competing, what is the result of the test?"

   Li Qing pouted and glared at Zhou Jia unconvinced, "Brother-in-law is slightly better."

  Li Yu smiled when Li Qing looked unconvinced, "Let's go! After the venison is marinated, let's go down to eat roast venison, and my aunt also made glutinous rice wine."

   Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and asked strangely, "When did you go up the mountain to hunt again? I don't know why?"

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and smiled to cover it up, "Good luck, I met you as soon as I went up the mountain, hurry up! Just waiting for you two." Li Yu dragged Li Qing and ran downstairs, leaving Zhou Jia behind That shook his head.

   Everyone had eaten barbecue and hot pot around the charcoal pot. Li Yu drank two bowls of glutinous rice wine and sat there dizzy leaning against Li Mei.

  Liu Changmin sat there and sighed, "Human! It's so impermanent, last year we were still in Qingzhou today, how could we have thought that we would come to Tongzhou this year."

   Zhou Jia nodded with emotion, "Yes, uncle, life is impermanent, and no one can predict what will happen tomorrow, but I think as long as the family is safe together, it is the best thing."

   Zhou Jia took a bank note and handed it to Li Mei, "Auntie, this is a dividend for your family, please accept it."

Li Mei hurriedly returned the bank note to Zhou Jia, and refused firmly, "Give me the dividends, I can't ask Yu'er to have already paid us wages, take it back quickly, and then take the money and the aunt's family will become Greedy people."

  Liu Changmin also waved his hand and refused, "Zhou Jia, my uncle and aunt can't ask for the money anymore, the wages Xiaoyu gave are enough."

   Zhou Jia smiled and looked at Li Yu, only to find that Li Yu had fallen asleep leaning against Li Mei, and quickly said to Li Mei, "Aunt Xiaoyu is asleep, hurry up and put her to sleep in the room, otherwise she will catch a cold."

   Li Mei smiled and helped Li Yu, "This child has liked glutinous rice wine since he was a child, but every time he drinks it, he gets sleepy."

   Li Mei and Zhao Di helped Li Yu into the house and asked her to lie down, and went out to tidy up the yard. Li Mei thought about it and stayed at Li Yu's house to rest.

   On the 30th night, a crescent moon shone on the land of Kyushu, and every household in the village set off firecrackers. Everyone smiled and congratulated each other and wished each other a better year.

The moon is bending over Kyushu, and some families are happy and some are sad. In a dilapidated alley in the west city of Tongzhou, there are two thatched huts in the corners. Family.

Chen Zhaodi looked at the boiled brown rice, and scolded Zhu Qiaoyu with a livid face, "Why is my old Zhang family so unlucky! After marrying your scum pillow, I finally got some food, tsk, tsk, look. It can also be boiled. In the 30th year of this year, we won’t even give us a mouthful of Ansheng rice. It’s been more than a year...

  Zhu Qiaoyu stood by the stove with his head down, letting Chen Zhaodi scold him without saying a word. Zhang Guisheng frowned and sat on the pony bar, looking like he was wandering out of the sky.

  Zhang Defa crouched at the door of the grass hut, looking at the dark alleyway, thinking to himself: Could it be that God can really see what the people below do, otherwise, the days will get harder and harder!

  In the early morning of the first day of the first day, Li Yu just opened the courtyard door and the children arrived at Li Yu's house. Li Yu saw that the children were all wearing red woolen Air Force caps where they had ears and a small pigtail hanging on one side.

  Xiaodouzi and his friends bowed and saluted Li Yu, "Sister Xiaoyu, make a big fortune in the new year, the older sister Xiaoyu is, the better she looks."

   "Little Douzi, you forgot to bring the red envelope." A child shouted anxiously.

Li Yu took out the red paper bag with a smile, took out the red packet inside and sent it to the children, and then pointed to the roasted cakes on the table, and said with a smile, "There are roasted seeds and cakes on the table, you can take them as you like, and there are also red packets. "

Xiaodouzi took the red envelope and put it in his pocket, looking at Li Yu blushing, "Sister Xiaoyu, I won't marry you as a wife, my mother said that you are Mr. Zhou's wife, and she said that other people's daughters-in-law can't marry me. Find another one when you grow up."

   Li Yu wrinkled his nose and showed a sad look, looking at Xiaodouzi and covering his eyes, "Xiaodouzi doesn't want her sister, my sister is going to be sad."

   Xiaodouzi answered without hesitation, "Don't be sad, mother said you are Mr. Zhou's wife."

   "Xiaodouzi is gone, let's go to Mr. Zhou's house for New Year's greetings." The children dragged Xiaodouzi and ran away.

  Li Qing came out of the stove and looked at Li Yu with a helpless expression, "Sister, you get confused when you drink, and you must never drink outside in the future."

   "Okay, I got it now," Li Yu smiled when he saw Li Qing's sleeves rolled up, "You got up so early?"

   "Yeah! I cooked the glutinous rice **** and scooped them with hot water. After you wash up, let's eat the glutinous rice balls."

   The two brothers and sisters had eaten glutinous rice balls, and Li Qing went out to celebrate the New Year. As soon as Li Yu had packed up the stove, Zhou Jia came with a box.

   Zhou Jia said to Li Yu with a smile, "Xiaoyu, guess how much money we've made in the past few months?"

Li Yu watched Zhou Jia raise two fingers, Zhou Jia shook his head and smiled, "There are 180 taels of dividends from the carpenter's shop sent by the wood carpenter in the box, and our bags and wool fabrics have made a total of 45,000 yuan. One thousand one hundred and fifty taels, and there are probably more than fifty thousand sold out of the remaining goods."

   Li Yu was also taken aback and stared at Zhou Jia, "It's a bit beyond my expectations."

Zhou Jia shook his head with a smile, "You were too busy to notice, think that sweaters and trousers are worth 158 yuan, shawls and scarves are 120 yuan, and socks are 12 to 20 yuan. And those hats and gloves, these profits are quite considerable, and there should be more people following the trend this year, but we have also gained a head start."

Li Yu smiled indifferently, "Since there are more people following the trend, we will do less retail and more wholesale to those small merchants. If the volume is large, we may make more money than we can sell ourselves. After the spring, we will raise pigs as soon as possible. The farm and Zhuangzi have been built, and the ponds have to be taken care of.”

Zhou Jia held Li Yu's hand, "Okay, just do as you said, reduce retail sales and sell them wholesale. Also, I've thought about it, and I'm going to hand over all business to Lucky and Lucky this year, and let them both Be a big shopkeeper. After the festival, I will go to Tongzhou to see if I can buy craftsmen who can weave and dye, and then make dozens of spinning wheels. I also need to buy people to come back to do housework and needlework, take care of fields and ponds, and the stalls are getting bigger. Being a scholar can't protect our family business, so I can prepare for the exam with peace of mind after the arrangement is made."

   Li Yu agreed with a smile after hearing it, "Okay, you can rest assured that I will take care of the family when preparing for the exam. Don't you want to go to Tongzhou?"

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with a smile on his face, "Ruyi doesn't like doing business, and is willing to take care of the farm and the family. When Uncle Zhou is old, let him follow Uncle Zhou, and he will take care of the family and the farm in the future. You take care of the bank notes first, keep some spares, and exchange the rest for money for you to keep."

   "Okay!" Li Yu carried the box into the house like a hamster and put it into the space secretly.
