Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

Chapter 766 New Year's Eve in a Foreign Land

In the evening, Xu Shiyan, his wife and Ji Tongzhong drove back, and the whole family set off firecrackers and ate dumplings lively, celebrating the new year together.

In the south, most people celebrate the New Year on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, so Su Anying directly gave the workers a day off.

From the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the factory no longer needs to work overtime.

Workers can rest in shifts, and the factory only needs to keep running.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the factory takes inventory and settles accounts.

This year's total sales reached 70 million. During the period just before this year, the factory sold tens of millions of goods.

There is a long queue of transport vehicles at the gate of the factory, and they can go as far as they want.

Health care products have high profits, with sales of more than 70 million yuan, which is a lot of money.

And the most powerful thing is that the payment for the goods has not been pressed for a penny, and it has been settled.

This is also normal. Now Jishengyuan's product market is booming, and consumers are queuing up to buy it.

Distributors can't wait to order with cash, for fear that if they bring less money, they won't be able to get too many goods, and they won't be able to sell enough when they go back.

What is the pressure on the payment, the first settlement after the sale? That doesn't exist at all.

All are paid in advance, and the final payment will be settled as soon as the goods are shipped.

In the first year of the new factory, various investments were also huge.

So don't look at the high sales and huge profits, but there are also many places where money is spent everywhere.

Therefore, most of the funds were kept on the books for next year's development, and the two companies each shared 3 million.

After the inventory was finished and the accounts were settled, Xu Shiyan and Su Anying returned to Yangcheng to spend the New Year with their children.

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the factory was on holiday. Except for the guards and fire departments who were on duty, the rest of the workers went home to celebrate the new year.

The holiday is from the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month, and the production officially starts on the sixth day of the first month.

Zhencaotang is only closed in the afternoon of New Year’s Eve during the Spring Festival, and it opens at 10 am from the first day to the sixth day of the new year.

During the Chinese New Year, when visiting relatives and friends, who visits the house without bringing some gifts.

What is the best thing to bring now? That is naturally Jishengyuan's health care products.

The purpose of opening a shop is to make money, Su Anfen is not a fool, it is impossible to miss such a good opportunity.

Of course, you can't let all the shop assistants come for the New Year's Eve.

So from the first day to the sixth day, the clerks work one day and take two days off, and all come back to work from the seventh day.

Everyone else can have a holiday, but Su Anfen definitely doesn't.

Fortunately, Ji Tongzhong didn't have anything to do if he didn't go to work. Ji Hongliang was also here, and the whole family lived in the backyard of Zhencaotang, so it didn't matter.

At Xu Shiqin's clothing factory, the holidays are immediately off after the New Year's Eve.

Han Liwei's work unit is not particularly busy for the Chinese New Year, and everyone has made an appointment to come to Zhencaotang on New Year's Eve to spend together.

So on the 30th day, Zhencaotang is very lively.

The man led the boys, and decorated a lot of string lights of various colors on the windows, door, and shelves in the backyard of the shop.

Even the two trees in the yard were wrapped with colorful string lights, and small lanterns made of colored ribbons and colored paper were also hung.

Couplets and door gods are pasted on the gate, couplets and blessings are pasted on the door of the house, and window grilles are pasted on all windows.

The whole yard is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it is full of festive and festive atmosphere.

The women are doing all kinds of work in the kitchen, frying and frying to make delicious food.

Compared with the Northeast, the materials here are obviously more abundant.

There are all kinds of fresh vegetables, as well as all kinds of live fish, live shrimp, crabs, etc., which were unimaginable in the Northeast.

It's rare for everyone to celebrate the New Year here, so you must prepare more generously, and prepare everything that you can't eat this time.

Don't care if the method is authentic or not, as long as you like it.

Everyone was busy until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sumptuous reunion dinner was served on the table, and everyone sat down.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I have to take a picture, and I'll show my grandpa and grandma when I get back."

Xu Haiyuan set up the camera and asked everyone to sit down, then set up a time-lapse shooting and took a photo with everyone.

Then, I took another picture of the food on the table.

"I figured it out. You didn't learn anything else. Your dad loves to play with cameras. You learned it very quickly."

Su Anying watched her son fiddling with the camera, she couldn't help but shook her head with a smile.

"Okay, sit down and eat quickly, I've been busy for a long time, and I'm hungry."

Su Anying saw that her son didn't intend to sit down yet, so she hurriedly greeted him.

"Wait, I'll call my grandfather."

Xu Haiyuan didn't sit down to eat in a hurry, but picked up the phone.

"Grandpa, it's me, Yuanyuan, have you eaten? What did you eat today?"

After a while, the phone was connected, and when Xu Haiyuan heard Xu Chenghou's voice over there, he chatted with Xu Chenghou.

"Yo, it's my grandson.

The meal is ready, I haven't eaten yet, your grandma and your aunts and aunts have cooked a lot of food.

There are everything from chicken, duck and fish, and there is a big table full. Grandson, have you eaten yet? "

Xu Chenghou was very happy when he heard about his grandson.

"No, the dishes are all on the table, let's eat right away.

I miss grandpa, so I will call grandpa. "

At this time, Xu Jinping, Xu Jinhui, and Xu Haiqing all came together, shouting grandpa.

On the other end of the phone, when Zhou Guilan heard that the grandchildren were calling, she quickly snatched the phone away and chatted with the grandchildren.

"You guys have fun over there, don't worry about home.

Your uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, and fifth uncle are all back to celebrate the New Year. You are a big family. Don’t worry about me and your grandfather.

Well, today's Chinese New Year, you should eat more for the reunion dinner, and eat well if you are full.

Do you want to make dumplings at night? Tell your mother, you must remember to put money in the dumplings. Let's see who eats more money. "

The children have never left their grandparents since they were young, and they call back every night after they come here.

As for the three elderly people in the family, they are also thinking about it all day long, talking about it all the time, and looking forward to their grandchildren calling back every day.

The two ends of the phone are connected to a family of young and old, so far apart that they can't see each other, so it's good to be able to hear the movement.

"Grandpa, grandma, master, the food is ready, let's eat first, or it will all be cold.

In the evening, I will call you again to say New Year greetings. "

The children chatted with their grandparents and saw that the dishes on the table were getting cold, so they hung up the phone and sat down to eat.

Xu Shiyan and the others didn't move their chopsticks until the children sat down, and then greeted the children to eat.

It's New Year's Eve, even though I can't celebrate the New Year in my hometown this year, but have traveled thousands of miles away, it must be a lively one.

Men drink, women and children drink.

Everyone filled up their cups, toasted and clinked together to celebrate the New Year together.

Even the two little guys, Han Zhenlin and Han Yu, clumsily held the cups and bumped them into everyone.

Fortunately, there was not much drink in their glasses, so they didn't spill it.

The two babies were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, "Happy New Year, cheers."

Han Yu didn't know who he learned from, so while clinking glasses, he said this.

"Yes, happy new year, cheers." Everyone laughed.

Xu Shiyan deliberately bumped into Han Yu again before taking a sip of his wine.

Han Yu looked at it, brought the cup to his mouth, and took a big gulp.

A group of Northeast people celebrate the New Year in the south. It is impossible for them to follow the Romans in the countryside. It is still how to celebrate the New Year at home, and it is the same here.

Among other things, the dumplings must be made.

So after the reunion dinner, the women began to chop meat, vegetables, and noodles.

At six o'clock, all the string lights inside and outside the courtyard were plugged in, and the colorful lights made the small courtyard dreamlike and beautiful.

After the cartoon was finished, the party hadn't started yet, and there wasn't much to watch.

The children don't have many friends here, unlike in their hometown, they all ran out in groups at this time.

Staying bored in the house, the children simply took the firecrackers to the yard and lit them. The jingling firecrackers conveyed the joy and blessings of the New Year.

The small courtyard originally raised two dogs and several cats.

These days, especially after Han Zhenlin and Han Yu came, the dog and the cat were tortured.

Now as long as the children are playing in the yard, the dog will simply shrink into the den and never come out.

The cats, too, had been hiding for a long time, never giving the children a chance to see them.

Those two dogs were puppies back then, and they didn't have much knowledge. When the firecrackers rang out, the dogs were so scared that they hid in the den and couldn't come out.

The movement was too scary, so I didn't dare to go out.

At eight o'clock, the party started on time, and the children who were shouting outside all went back to the house and sat down to watch TV obediently.

As for Xu Shiqin, Su Anying and the others, they had already moved the table and panels to the living room, and stood by the table rolling out dumplings.

While bagging, Su Anying was still muttering.

"Let me just say, it's inconvenient to do anything in the south, not even a kang.

If it was at our house, sitting on the hot kang, making dumplings and watching TV at the same time, how exciting would it be? "

Northeast people are used to working on the kang, and they find it inconvenient when they come out.

"Well, what's the matter? Anyway, I've been here for so long, and I'm not used to it.

There is a kang in the northeast of our country, which is really comfortable. When Su Anfen heard this, she nodded quickly.

There is no way, as a Northeast person, those customs are engraved in the bones, and it is really inconvenient to come out.

The living habits of the north and the south are different, and the food culture is very different. This cannot be changed in a short time.

Northerners are not used to coming to the south, and southerners are also not used to going to the north.

People, if it's not for the sake of making a living, who would want to leave their hometown and go all the way?

However, with the development and changes of the times, the north also began to live in buildings, and the kang gradually became the warmth in people's memory.

Su Anying and the others chatted while making dumplings.

The identities of these people are different now, and they are no longer the housewives they used to be.

The topic of discussion has also changed from family short stories to business matters.

Xu Shiqin's clothing factory here is doing well, and the accounts have just been settled a few days ago.

When the garment factory was first built, Xu Shiyan and his wife invested part of the money, accounting for 30% of the shares. This time, the dividends were about 500,000.

In the past few months since the opening of Yangcheng Zhencaotang, the turnover of the store has been very good, including wholesale and retail, with a turnover of tens of thousands a day.

Since acting as an agent of Jishengyuan's health products, the income has doubled.

As the store manager, Su Anfen has 10% of the dry stock, so this year's harvest is also great.

Of course, it was Su Anying who made the most money.

Adding up the profits of various factories, stores, and companies, Su Anying will have to pay several million dollars this year.

This is still in the start-up stage of the health care product factory and Zhencaotang, and the investment is relatively large. We will wait for the development to be stable next year and make more profits.

"Thinking about it, Xiaoji and I worked in the fields all year round, that is, we lived for the year.

Who would have thought that there would still be a time to earn so much money?

Second sister, thanks to the help of you and second brother-in-law, otherwise we would not be able to earn this year's money even if we were busy all our lives. "

Su Anfen said with emotion while working.

"Hey, what are you talking about?

We are sisters, so my stall is too big and there is no one to help me, how can I find outsiders? I can't trust outsiders either.

My family doesn't need to talk about this, as long as you two work hard, the days of earning money are still to come.

You save some money and train Liangliang well.

In the future, if he gets into a good university, finds a good job, and marries a wife, won't his mission in this life be completed? "

Su Anying didn't stop making dumplings, she just smiled.

Which family lives well and doesn't bring along brothers and sisters?

Besides, this is not free money, no matter Ji Tongzhong or Nan Zhendong, they have made great efforts to help a lot, and it is only natural to give corresponding rewards.

So what? Can you still give money to outsiders? Probably need to give more.

No matter how much you give, it can't match the kindness of your own family.

"No matter what you say, we all followed the second sister and the second brother-in-law."

Su Anfen has long understood that the sisters, even the Su family, followed the second sister and second brother-in-law to get rich.

The third sister and her family, if it weren't for the help of the second brother-in-law, they could come out of the countryside, and now one is in Yangcheng and the other is in the capital? Dreaming.

If it weren't for the help of the second brother-in-law, would her father be able to find a job at such an old age?

How good is it to see that the front door is free from wind and rain, and you get a lot of salary every month. When you don't want to work, you can retire and get a pension.

There are also the fifth and the sixth, both of them are section chiefs now, and their wages are not low.

The fifth brother-in-law is the deputy director of the health care product factory, and the sixth brother-in-law is the manager of the sales department of the ginseng company, with a bright future.

If it weren't for the help of the second sister and the second brother-in-law, the fifth and sixth would probably just find someone to marry, and they would never be where they are today.

"Oh, it's a trivial matter whether it's bright or not.

I just thought, you are in Yangcheng, the third child is in the capital, and the fifth brother will come with his fifth brother-in-law after the next year.

We sisters, now there are everywhere in the world.

At the beginning, I thought about getting you all to Donggang. Our sisters are all by our parents' side, so we can take good care of them.

It's a good thing now, our parents stayed in Donggang and we all came out. What will happen to the old couple in the future? "

As Su Anying was talking, she felt uncomfortable and stopped making dumplings.

"Oh, yes, my parents are getting older, and there is no one to take care of them, so I don't feel at ease after all."

Su Anfen was also taken aback when she heard the words, and sighed.

Maybe this is the benefit of raising a son. The old man must be with his children and grandchildren when he is old.

No matter how good or bad life is, there are always people around to take care of you.

"Otherwise, when you have a chance in the future, discuss with your parents and take them over?"

Su Anfen thought about it, and it seems that this method is okay.

"I'm here, and the fifth child will come over after the next year, and the second sister will probably come over for a few months a year.

If Mom and Dad are willing, I live here close to Lao Wu, so I can take care of him a little bit. "

Su Anying raised her head and looked out of the window, "Wait until you go back, and ask your parents what they mean."

When Sister Su Anying was talking about her parents, thousands of miles away in the northeast, Su Weizhong and his wife were sitting on the kang, making dumplings and talking about it.

"In normal years, Yuanyuan and the others would come over a few times on the 30th night, it's quite interesting to make noise.

This year the children are all going to the south for the New Year, why do they feel so deserted? "

Han Cai'e muttered while kneading the dough.

"Yeah, there is no movement of a child in this house, just the two of us, why don't we panic?"

Su Weizhong stopped rolling the skin and sighed.

"Look at the in-laws, they have many sons, Shi Yan's family has gone to the south, and there are four other sons.

It's good for us, six girls, which of the six girls can't spend the Chinese New Year at her in-law's house?

Why don't we just look at me and I look at you? "

What Su Weizhong hopes most in his life is to have a son, but unfortunately, he just doesn't have this fate.

It's fine in normal times, but every year and festivals here, it's really deserted and panicked.

"Come on, don't talk about those useless things, who told us that we don't have that life.

Let's work, make dumplings quickly, distribute papers early, let's go to bed early if there is nothing else. "

Compared with the deserted Su family with only the old couple, the Xu family is bustling.

The four brothers of the Xu family all brought their wives and children back to celebrate the New Year. The people in this room were full of laughter and laughter.

However, Xu Chenghou was still not used to it.

I always feel that the children of the third family are missing, especially Xu Haiqing. Without him in front of Baba, I feel like something is missing.

"I don't know, what happened to the third child's family in Yangcheng.

At this time, do you also make dumplings? "

Xu Chenghou sat on the kang, watched the TV, couldn't help but put a bag of cigarettes in his hand, and started smoking.

"It must be making dumplings, we Northeast people, we can't forget dumplings wherever we go.

A few skinny children don't know if they can adapt there. "

Chu Xuanhuai, who was sitting opposite Xu Chenghou, couldn't help but sigh.

Compared to Xu Chenghou, Chu Xuanhuai missed Xu Haiyuan and the others more.

Chu Xuanhuai loved Xu Haiyuan and the others as if they were his own grandchildren. The children of the Xu family are also very good, but they don't have much affection after all.

During this family reunion, without the children in front of my eyes, I feel empty in my heart.

The two old men looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled wryly.

When Xu Shiyan discussed with them, they all found it troublesome and refused to follow them to the south.

At this moment, to be honest, the two old men felt a little regretful.

"They can't stay in the south for a few days, and they have to go back on the seventh day of the year at most.

The kids have to go back to school, and the youngest has to go back to work. "

Xu Chenghou finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, knocked on the pot of the cigarette bag, and then said this.

I don't know whether to comfort Chu Xuanhuai or comfort myself.

On New Year's Eve, thousands of houses are lit up, whether in the south or the north, every household celebrates the New Year with laughter and laughter.

At nine o'clock, Su Anying and the others finished making the dumplings.

This is not in the Northeast. You can't take the dumplings outside to freeze, you can only send them to the kitchen for storage.

Let's discuss it, why don't you wait until eleven o'clock to boil the water and prepare the dumplings.

When you are in a foreign land, you can't be as particular about it as when you are at home.

Especially when the three families get together to celebrate the New Year, the procedures of distributing papers and worshiping ancestors are also saved.

It's better to cook the dumplings earlier and eat them. The children will play longer if they are willing to play, and go to bed earlier if they are sleepy.

Besides, Han Liwei still has something to do tonight, he has to go down to the company to condolences to the soldiers.

At around 9:40, the kitchen started cooking dumplings, and Xu Shiyan and the others led the children out to set off firecrackers.

The three families bought fireworks and firecrackers a few years ago. I was afraid that the children would not have enough things to play with, so I took them all out to have a look. Good guy, there are a lot of them on the ground.

I bought everything, so let’s put it away, so I put it on the ground and lit it one by one.

Now the yard is lively, colorful fireworks take off and explode in mid-air.

There are also various firecrackers and clanging explosions.

Han Zhenlin took a nap in the afternoon and was not sleepy at the moment, so he went out to watch the cannon shooting.

This kid is very courageous, he is not afraid of such a big firecracker, watching those fireworks, he clapped his hands happily.

But the two dogs, scared by the sound of firecrackers in the yard, hid in the den and shivered, wishing they could curl up into a ball.

There is such a big pile of fireworks and firecrackers, it's time to finish it.

It was only halfway here, and there was a shout from the house, calling them to come in and eat dumplings.

"Okay, let's put these first, and let's come out and put them after we finish eating the dumplings later."

Han Liwei picked up Han Zhenlin, who was still full of emotions, and coaxed him back to the house to eat dumplings.

"Your mother and your aunt put money in the dumplings, let's see how much money you can eat tonight.

Our family Zhenlin is the most capable, and he will definitely be able to eat several. "

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that there was still money in the dumplings, Han Zhenlin showed his strength, and immediately pulled his finger, making a gesture of three.

"Three, I want to eat three." What he meant was to eat three money.

"Well, three, our family Zhenlin is the most powerful, we will definitely be able to eat three."

Han Liwei carried his son into the house, let him sit on a chair, and waited to eat dumplings.

The dumplings on New Year's Eve are filled with several kinds of fillings, each of which is different, such as lace, wheat ears, and ingots.

Each kind is filled with money, dates, sugar and other things, just to coax the children to eat more.

Xu Haiyuan and the others are all grown up, this trick can no longer fool them.

However, as the child grows up, he also eats a lot. After eating at three o'clock in the afternoon, he will be hungry by this time.

So they all ate a lot of dumplings, and they also got a lot of money, dates and the like.

It was Han Zhenlin who was clamoring for three yuan to eat, but he didn't eat any of the five dumplings, so he wanted to eat more in a hurry.

Seeing this, Su Anying was afraid that her nephew would be full, so she hurriedly found some money and secretly stuffed it into the dumplings.

"Come here, take a look at the dumplings my aunt found for you, there must be money in them."

Su Anying put the dumplings stuffed with money in front of Han Zhenlin's eyes.

When Han Zhenlin heard this, he immediately grabbed the dumpling and bit it, sure enough, he bit something hard.

"Money, money." The child doesn't know anything else, but money.

This time, Han Zhenlin was overjoyed, his eyes widened, and he didn't care about the half of the dumplings left, and continued to look for dumplings with money.

Su Anying winked at Xu Shiyan, and Xu Shiyan quickly pinched another.

"Come on, let's try to see if there is any money in this third uncle."

Han Zhenlin took it and bit it, sure enough, he was happy.

Over there, Han Liwei also picked one for his son, and Han Zhenlin sure enough got another coin.

This little guy only knows three numbers, and he can't count if there are too many.

Seeing that he had three coins, the little guy was satisfied. Anyway, his stomach was full, so he stopped clamoring for dumplings and went to play by himself.

Xu Shiqin painted gourds in the same way and coaxed his daughter to eat two dumplings with money.

Xiao Yu'er was also full now, so she got off the table happily and went to play with her brother.
