Time slipped away quietly in the busyness, and it was not until the first snowfall of another year that people realized that the Spring Festival was coming soon.
All three children have learned to waddle.
When Yun Fei arrived home, he could see three little dumplings from a distance, staggering towards him, shouting in a sweet voice: "Die, fold."
"Hey, daddy is back, are you good?"
Seeing them reaching out for a hug, he refused, "Daddy, there is cold snow on your body, which will make your clothes wet. Can you wait until dad changes into his cotton-padded jacket before hugging us, Lulu, Miaomiao, and Qingyan?"
I don’t quite understand it, but I know what rejection means.
Lulu anxiously repeated, "Cool, cool."
Her eyes looked at Zhao Baozhu, who was wearing a pink cotton-padded jacket next to her, making her laugh.
He scratched the little man's nose and teased: "Silly girl, daddy is talking about coolness, not mommy."
Following this, Miaomiao and Qingyan also shouted together, "Cool, cool."
They only know some simple words now, but they can't speak clearly.
After entering the house, everyone felt the warmth.
Yunfei took off his snowy coat, held a child in one hand and put it under his knees, and then talked about the New Year, "Let's go back to the village to celebrate the New Year this year.
The ancestral hall has been repaired, and worship must be performed every year for three years. We have paid for it, but we still have to go back and claim the credit. "
"Always listen to your husband."
"I'll go wherever my husband says."
Zhang Dujuan also nodded and asked softly: "My husband, can I take people back to tidy up tomorrow?"
"No, I hired a few aunts in the village to clean it. It has been prepared for a long time. Let's wait until next year. When I come back from the science exam, I will rebuild it and make the old house more comfortable."
After all, it is a place where you have to go back and live from time to time.
Others don't have any objections. Everyone pays attention to getting back to their roots. For many people, the old house is more important than the big house outside.
No matter how powerful the people are, they will keep an old house in the clan residence.
………
After the snow stopped, several carriages slowly drove into Baijia Village.
The people in the village are very enthusiastic about them going home to celebrate the New Year.
Festive sounds can be heard along the way.
"Yongming is back with his wife and children?"
"Well, come back for the New Year."
"Good boy, it's time to go home to celebrate the New Year, settle down and come to my uncle's house for a drink? Uncle thanks you for building a school for the village and inviting a husband."
The most important thing is that the repair work is halved, and the remaining half will be borne by the workshop.
Who doesn't know that those who work in the workshop don't actually make much money from the medicinal powders they sell?
The cost is high, and if you want to sell at a low price, naturally you can only ask the drug store to get the goods at a low price.
So the profit is actually not big.
For such an easy-to-use medicine, not to mention small profits but quick turnover, even if the price is higher, a lot of people can accept it.
It's just that Yunfei doesn't want to make enough wealth to last ten generations. For things like money, it's enough to have a certain foundation.
I cooperated with Huangqi Medicine Store because I knew that the people behind it were from the soldiers guarding the border town.
In fact, they only sold part of the drugs they traded. Most of them bought them with their own money and sent them to border towns.
In a situation like this, it is even less possible for him to make big money.
It is enough to be able to maintain costs and make some profits.
After returning this time, Zhao Baozhu also had some feelings, "Although everyone paid attention to me before, this time they were the most enthusiastic."
In addition to being grateful, there is also respect.
After all, most people in the village work in workshops, so she is equivalent to the boss's wife, and naturally she is not as casual as before.
Naturally, we can't go to the clan uncle's house for dinner. The village chief has already prepared a meal for him.
Their family and several respected elders in the village were invited.
Now every household has made some money, and there are more village chiefs, so they are not stingy about food.
Stewed chicken soup, steamed fish, fried bacon, scrambled eggs, several meat dishes, plenty of them.
There is wine on the man's table.
Yunfei drank the glass of strong wine without changing his expression, and then continued to talk and laugh with everyone.
He had never drank liquor before, but now he is used to it.
There is no way, the alcoholic beverages in many planes are relatively single.
"After the New Year in Yongming, you have to rush to Hengnan Examination College, right?"
Yunfei nodded and said yes.
The college examination was held in Hengnan Mansion, which was the provincial capital in charge of their area.
"You still have to study to get ahead!" a clan elder sighed.
"How about Grandpa Yongming who had the foresight? Back then, he sold everything to support his eldest grandson's education. I don't know how many people saw the joke."
"Who doesn't know that there is a future in studying? Don't we even have a scholar here? So everyone thinks that not being a scholar is a waste of money."
"That's the truth. The scholar from Dujiacun has also passed the exam. It seems to me that there is nothing special about it. He has not yet made a fortune like us at Yongming."
"He was already thirty when he was admitted. Our Yongming is only eighteen this year. He is also a very ambitious person, so he doesn't realize that he needs to go out and earn money."
Speaking of this, everyone has to mention his concubine who makes money for them.
Now everyone in Baijia Village knows that Deng Xiaoniang is enjoying happiness with her daughter.
And the news that she secretly went to see the doctor and said she had an infectious disease was widely spread. Fortunately, the doctor confirmed that she was not, so it didn't cause panic.
They were not sick, but the money-earners were laid off again. I heard that they had been selling their things secretly to make a living.
Even Du Xiucai’s calligraphy and paintings.
Some businessmen heard about this and thought that since he was short of money, he should be willing to ask him to teach, right?
Unexpectedly, he was kicked out when he came to the door.
The high-spirited Du Xiucai would rather die than associate with a businessman, and his whole body smelled of copper.
Of course, he also looked down upon Yunfei today.
In his eyes, this concubine has become a businessman's wife.
He looked down upon her and was unwilling to come to her, but asked someone to send a letter to Du Qingliu.
The general meaning is that Deng Xiaoniang was embarrassed by being divorced, and she was also embarrassed by marrying a businessman. Only by using a piece of white silk to solve herself can she be worthy of her ancestors.
It just meant that they should die and not become a stain on his talent.
Yunfei naturally saw the letter. After he read it to the two of them, he told them to just pretend they didn't hear it and ignore it.
The reason why I told them was to let them give up on the Du family and not to be deceived.
Speaking of this, it is inevitable that Deng Xiaoniang and Du Qingliu will not be mentioned.
The clan leader said to him hesitantly: "Although the Du family is good, does it make it difficult to assume the position of mistress with such a reputation?"
He was thinking that if Yun Fei became an official in the future, his wife's birth would probably cause others to criticize him.
"That's true, but Qingyan was born to the Du family. If she were reduced to a concubine, I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate." The village chief also frowned.
Fortunately, men and women were at different tables, so Du Qingliu didn't hear these words.
But since they can all think of it, there is no guarantee that no one will come to Du Qingliu to gossip.
