Xie Yanzhi didn't reply to her words, just said don't worry, got dressed and went out.
Li Yuan followed closely, and when she saw Wang Can's surprised expression, she told Xie Yanzhi about the matter while she was going to the study.
Wang Can was silent for a moment and took a long breath, his face looking relaxed as never before.
"Sister, it feels so good that my brother-in-law is here and we don't have to worry about anything!"
As she spoke, she changed the subject and asked: "Sister, it's already thirteen today and all the shops and stalls in the county have opened. When will our noodle stall be opened?"
Li Yuan had already paid to renew the lease in the twelfth month of last year.
She planned to continue selling noodles, but even though Liuyun County was not greatly affected by the disaster last year, she decided to make other noodles and sell them together.
This noodle is not just white noodles, but also mixed noodles.
It's like adding some corn flour, sorghum flour, etc. into white flour.
In this way, the cost is lowered, the price is relatively cheaper, and more people can afford it.
She may not earn as much as she did last year, but if she adds vegetarian rice balls, her daily income should increase.
Thinking like this, Li Yuan said: "I will go back tomorrow on the 14th, so let's just celebrate the Lantern Festival. After the Lantern Festival, on the 16th, we will open for business. On the first day of opening, we don't have to prepare so much. We’ll close the stall early in the afternoon to celebrate Cai Wei’s birthday.”
Wang Can felt at ease as soon as he heard the time set.
"Okay, it will open early on the 16th. In that case, Brother Junzi and I will come over on the 15th. There will be lanterns at night, so we can go shopping. But sister, you said that the third brother and the third sister-in-law should come over, When the time comes, Brother Junzi and Third Brother will study together with my brother-in-law, and we will have one more Sister-in-law, do we have enough manpower?"
"Enough! The third aunt told me a few days ago that she will come to help when the time comes, and let Nai and the eldest uncle take care of more of the housework. They are currently focusing on the scientific research of Junzi and Zhengzi. When the time comes, Jun Zi and Zhengzi live in one room, and you, your three younger siblings, and your third aunt live in the same room. But if you’re not used to it, it’s the same as Caiwei Qingsha. They’re all on the kang anyway, so you can live apart.”
Wang Can thought for a moment and replied: "Then I will live with my two children!"
"By the way, sister, I don't know why, but the weather is getting warmer and warmer. I told my uncle not to continue growing vegetables. I plan to discuss with the owner about my rented house and leave it to them. I'd better find someone to dismantle it and restore it to its original appearance. But as a result, my uncle Maocai's job will be nowhere to be found. He is a restless person, so why don't we ask him to fetch water and wash dishes for us? Yes, do you think it’s okay?”
As she said that, she was afraid that Li Yuan would refuse, so she quickly said: "There is no need to pay my uncle, just let him have a job to do and then give him food to eat. Last year, I relied on you and my brother-in-law to sell vegetables. I don’t make less money. It’s no problem to provide for my uncle in his old age. I just don’t want him to worry too much and feel like a useless person. If I really don’t ask him to do anything, I guess he will still continue to be a salesman.”
Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "As long as you don't have any objections, I definitely don't. But I won't let him work in vain. The wages are the same as those of the third aunt and the third brother and sister. When the time comes, he can just watch and beat him. So he can look back. When Junzi and I finish their exams and go to Fucheng, they can support this stall. As long as we do less and make less every day, it should be no problem."
Li Yuan said and looked at Wang Can: "Can Niang, I won't pay you this time. We will share it according to the share. I will pay for all the rice, flour, oil and salt, and I will deduct the cost of buying things and paying for the stall fee every month. We have labor wages, and we divide the rest between four and six. Four for you and six for me, how about that?"
"Sister, I'll get three scores!"
"No, just four or six. But I plan to use this stall for the third aunt and the others during the period when we go to Fucheng. Then they will discuss it themselves whether the money they earn will be shared with their in-laws or uncles. ."
Li Yuan said, paused, and continued: "The old house made a fortune a year ago, but it cost a lot to help Junzi pay off debts and buy wedding banquets. And mine! Although rice and noodles Everything comes from the clan, but the meat and the money to buy the pigs come from the old house. In addition, for the dowry items in my house, such as boxes and cages, buckets for descendants, etc., they also have to spend some money to find a carpenter. I guess Even if there is some milk over there, it won’t be much anymore.”
When Xie Yanzhi came out of the study, he saw the two of them gathering together and whispering together again, so he ignored them and stood at the door waiting for Li Jun.
Wang Can saw Xie Yanzhi from the corner of his eye, and said quickly: "Sister, I understand your considerations, and I will do as you say. I will go back first and come over tomorrow afternoon before the city gate closes."
"OK!"
After Wang Can, Li Jun, Li Miao and others left, Li Yuan remembered that she hadn't given them wedding red envelopes yet.
"Brother Xie, did you give them a red seal?"
In Xie Yanzhi's view, the money earned is spent on his wife and children.
Now that you have given it to your wife, there is no reason to take it back.
Therefore, since he gave all his wealth to Li Yuan, he doesn't have much money on him.
And because he had to spend money, he couldn’t do it without money on hand, so he started to make extra money.
His reputation is well known, and whether he is helping others to paint, write epitaphs or autobiographies, the retouching fees are quite considerable.
Now he still has nearly ten taels left on hand!
Of course, he has not yet sorted out the red envelopes and money received as gifts, and plans to hand them over to Li Yuan.
Hearing Li Yuan's words at this time, he nodded and said: "Here you go! Didn't you stay in the study for a long time when you just went to the study? I was giving them red envelopes. I follow the rules here, two for each person, one for each One is yours, and the other is mine. I put one denarius in each red envelope, totaling eight denarii."
"Just give it! It's a suitable amount of money. My grandma also specifically told me not to waste a little money. We, the people in Li's family, give dowry red envelopes, some of which are ten or twenty coins. At home, Those who are richer will pay fifty or sixty cents. She told me that the oldest one should not exceed one cent, and except for Caiwei and Qingsha, the rest of us together should not exceed one cent, otherwise they will not recognize me as their granddaughter. "
Xie Yanzhi replied with a smile on his lips: "The milk is for your own good! Hao Yuan, I'm hungry, can I eat first?"
With that said, he closed the door.
Then he saw no one was around, guessing that the children were sleeping, so he lowered his head and quickly kissed her on the mouth, with a fiery light in his eyes and a slightly hoarse voice.
"Hao Yuan Niang, our bridal chamber flowers and candles will be finished tonight? If you don't mind, I'm actually not too hungry, so I can finish them now!"
