Chapter 428 Marriage
Taking advantage of the good sunshine, everyone went back to chop meat and kill fish to make preserved meat.
Under the leadership of the Zhou family, the villagers of Lianglin Village who could not afford meat last year can now eat fat and wear new clothes, but they will definitely not live as frugally as before.
It took the Zhou family a whole day to smoke the meat, ribs and sausages, and some of the fish. However, since the fish was a bit troublesome to handle and there were too many of them, they spent another day to smoke all the rabbits, chickens, ducks and fish and hang them on the wall.
"Once this important event is over, the New Year atmosphere will begin to set in. Buy more of what you need at home, so that we don't have to wait for the snow to block the roads and make it difficult to go out like last year."
After Mrs. Zhou gave the order, the people in the Zhou family began to "purchase goods" for their home.
I can still vividly remember the incident of slaughtering the pig last year, and I don’t want to kill the other pig in my family.
The people in the village thought the same, so they made several trips to the town while the weather was fine to prepare things for the New Year.
We are always afraid of the unexpected.
Taking advantage of the good weather these days, Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er went shopping and gave some fish to their relatives to have some fun during the New Year.
"Uncle, Dad, have you bought firecrackers and fireworks?" Zhou Mingyuan saw his donkey cart coming back and hurried forward to ask.
"I'll buy it, I'll buy it since I promised you." Boss Zhou stopped the donkey and handed over the small basket filled with firecrackers.
"Be frugal and don't go out on the street before the New Year."
"it is good."
After getting the firecrackers, Zhou Mingyuan ran away with a smile and went to the backyard to find his second brother Zhou Mingjie.
"The half-grown brat is torturing his father. When I'm not at home, I think about him every day. Now that I'm at home on vacation, it gives me a headache to see them tossing and turning in the yard."
Boss Zhou threw the donkey whip onto the car in annoyance, shaking his head and sighing.
"Haha, big brother, just relax. At their age, it's time for them to show off their abilities. Unlike Sidan, they still need someone to watch over them all the time. As long as they have enough food and clothes, they can do whatever they want."
"Ignore them and unload the truck quickly."
After Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Mingjie got the firecrackers, they lit a stick of incense and ran out.
Soon, all kinds of strange noises came from the vegetable garden.
I don't know what weird things they are doing.
Zhou Mingqi and Zhou Mingshu were drawing something in the room, writing and mumbling while they were drawing.
"Saya, can we do this? I'm really worried that no one will come by then."
"Don't worry, second sister. It would be better if someone comes, but it's not a big deal if no one comes. We grow flowers in our garden to make soap and ointment. If they are willing to come and enjoy the flowers, we will have extra income. If they are not willing to come, it will not hinder us from making soap and ointment."
"That's true, but the sweet water list you wrote is really good. I feel like the food will be delicious."
"Haha, of course. The flowers must be pretty and the food must be delicious. Only in this way can our business last forever."
"Yeah, good job, we'll have a great time again in the spring."
"Hehe, we have to work hard, but we need to stock up more soap. We don't have much time to concentrate on making soap this year."
"Don't worry, don't rush. The fat meat is too expensive during the New Year. We can concentrate on making it after the Lantern Festival. There will still be enough time."
"Okay, I'll write down all these key points on the list so that we don't forget. There are also those holiday gifts. There are many more people this year. I'll write them down when I think of them so that we don't forget them later."
The two sisters wrote one while the other read, checking for missing parts and filling in the gaps, and now most of the content has been filled in.
The amount of soaps and ointments prepared this year is 10% more than last year.
If the sweet water can be spread widely, the sales of the ointment and soap made with it will definitely increase.
"San Ya, if we open this sweet water shop, we will have to add more staff, so we will have to hire more people."
"No, no, I've already thought about it. I'll just ask Uncle Xiaofan to come over. He's very good at greeting people. One person can take care of the front and the other can take care of the back."
"Then there are fewer people at the restaurant. Can they handle it?"
"Second sister, have you forgotten that our eldest sister-in-law is about to marry into our family? You can't let eldest brother and his wife be separated every day."
After Zhou Mingshu said this, Zhou Mingqi reacted. The two sisters understood what he meant and started laughing, covering their mouths.
"Haha, if you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot about it. I was wondering what was going on. Big brother was grinning all day long. It turns out that his good days are coming soon."
"That's right. We should start preparing after the New Year. Once my sister-in-law comes home, there will be one more person in our family. There will be one more person to talk to and one more person to work with. We can relax a little more."
The more Zhou Mingqi thought about it, the happier he became. Instead, Zhou Mingshu beside him laughed.
"Look at you, you're expecting the new bride to work for us, aren't you afraid that people will say you're mistreating your new sister-in-law?"
"Haha, how could that be? Lingshan is our little sister who grew up together. The little work we have on our hands is nothing. It's much easier than cutting grass for pigs."
The two sisters put the prepared booklet into the drawer, took off their shoes, warmed their feet in the quilt, and sat there chatting.
Zhou Mingshu held the little squirrel as a hand warmer while eating melon seeds.
"Okay, then we'll take Lingshan to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Dried mushrooms are not as delicious as fresh ones."
"We are close to mountains and water, and there are many delicious foods and fun things here. Lingshan is longing for it, so don't worry, maybe she will be very happy."
Zhou Mingshu nodded obediently and tucked his head into his rabbit fur collar. It was great to have a little sister to play with after the New Year.
The day Zhou Mingzhi married his beautiful bride was a sunny day without even a trace of cold wind.
The sun is warm, and people who are illuminated by it feel much gentler.
When Old Zhou's family married off Grandson Changxi, the scene was grand and there was an endless supply of food and drink. Even the villagers who came to help were given a bag of sweet fruit.
Not to mention the 'dealers', each of them brought very valuable gifts.
They bought goods from Lao Zhou's family and then sold them. After a little bit of processing, their profits doubled.
I have made a lot of money in the past two years and bought a new house and car.
So when there is a suitable opportunity to give gifts and make friends, they will naturally do their best.
In the past two years, the Zhou family has hosted several banquets in a row, each one bigger than the last, with more and more guests coming.
The villagers of Lianglin Village were so angry to see that other people's lives were getting better and better, but no one dared to say anything because that was the money that other people earned with their own real ability.
