After Fang Cuihua sent a bowl to the east and a plate to the west, there were only a little more than one basin of pig blood left.

I was reluctant to give away the oily meat beside them, but a few families with whom I had good relations came over for dinner that night, and I didn’t want to let them go empty-handed, so in the end everyone took a portion of pig’s blood back.

Fortunately, in the following days, the Lin family also received a lot of pig-killing dishes from other families in the village, so during the last ten days of the twelfth lunar month, the meals at home were obviously better than usual.

This made Guangdaner feel full of energy. He felt like a sapling that was being watered with spiritual fluid and was about to grow vigorously!

During the Chinese New Year, Guangdan was happily given two cents as a lucky money by his grandparents, but as soon as he got it, Ms. Fang Cuihua did not take back a single cent.

During the first month of the year, Guangdan spent all of his remaining several dozen coins, and the remaining several hundred coins are still frozen in the ground outside the toilet.

This is the capital for starting a business after the spring. Guangdan has to pace back and forth a few times every time he goes to the toilet, only then does he feel at ease.

Although the days in winter are boring, at least there is free time. The first month of the year is lively and interesting. Time flies like a white horse, and Guangdan moves forward in this still somewhat unfamiliar era.

After the Lantern Festival, there is still no sign of the weather warming up. Basically, we have to wait until the end of February for the ground to slowly begin to thaw.

Guangdan was not in a hurry about the thawing of the land, but he was very concerned about the breaking of the ice in the Li River. The fish his family had on New Year's Eve, like the bowl of braised pork, was not eaten until the Lantern Festival.

I’m really addicted to having fish every year!

So he really missed the fish and shrimp in the Li River.

In fact, when he was still Lin Xiaoxi, he had seen many people in Northeast China digging holes in the river and using nets to catch fish in winter, but now he didn't dare to try it here easily. After all, he didn't even know how thick the ice on the river was.

The village private school resumed classes on the 16th day of the first lunar month. After the New Year, seven-year-old Goudaner and six-year-old Goumaoer also began their regular half-day private school life.

Guangdan, who ended his student career early, began to study the herbal book that Goudaner brought back from the teacher at home very comfortably.

He could recognize most of the words in the book by guessing, and the herbal illustrations really caught Guangdan's attention.

But the book was too thick, and even if he used all his brainpower, he couldn't remember it in a short period of time.

So they forced Erya to join them. When Erya heard that she could make money by identifying herbs and digging them in the mountains, she took it seriously without saying a word.

Since Erya couldn't read very well, she was more responsible for memorizing the appearance of the plants in the illustrations. With Guangdan'er's annotations and explanations, the two of them worked together and indeed moved a lot faster.

Ever since the Lantern Festival when Lin Daniu and his brothers took Gouwei to the county town to sell winter handmade items, everyone has been convinced and looked at Guangdan with new eyes.

In addition to the bamboo woven items that are sold every year, there are also some handicrafts that Guangdaner taught Gouwei. Not to mention the brushes, there are also larger laundry brushes and smaller toothbrushes. These small items sell very well.

Due to the large quantity, after two consecutive days, minus the money we spent on overnight stays in the county town, we ended up earning several hundred more coins than in previous years.

Now everyone's enthusiasm was aroused, even Lin Daniu and his brothers began to think about making pens and brushes together, which could make much more money than weaving bamboo products.

Guangdan was not surprised at all when he heard his grandfather come up with this idea.

"Because there are too many people who can make these bamboo products, among us farmers, everyone knows how to do it. If too many people know how to make them, we won't be able to sell them at a high price. But brushes are not very difficult to make, and they are not our own invention. The county town's grocery stores must have better brushes than ours."

Guangdan thought for a moment and finally spoke out what was in his heart. Lin Xiaoniu next to him listened and nodded.

"Yes, we sold well this time. The most important thing is that our price is cheap. Even if the price is lower than others, we still make a profit. That's enough!" Lin Xiaoniu's eyes narrowed with a smile as he spoke.

Before, he thought about selling these brushes when he was a peddler, but now he felt that he still had to go to places where there were many rich families, such as towns or county towns.

There probably wouldn't be many people in the village willing to buy brushes. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoniu felt that instead of being a peddler, he might as well find time every month to go to the county town to set up a stall at the market.

What, you said far?

Are you afraid of making money? As long as you are alive, you must make money!

"As for the brushes, if you work harder, you will definitely be able to improve. But I strongly suggest that if you have the conditions, you should learn how to write and try out the brushes you make yourself. If you don't know what's good about the brush, how can you sell it?"

Guangdan'er's words made everyone in the room fall into deep thought again.

Gouwei was completely at a loss, his eyes widened, and he started gesticulating with his hands.

"I, I can't write!" The young man was so anxious that steam was almost coming out of his head in this cold winter.

"Hehehehe, big brother, just tell me if you want to make a lot of money!" Guangdan smiled cunningly, and his whole body exuded a weird aura.

"Of course I did." Gouwei agreed without thinking.

Who doesn't want to make a lot of money? Are you stupid?

"Then come on, Ganba Dad!" Waving his little fist, Guangdan'er's little face, which had become a little rounder due to the Chinese New Year, was full of smiles.

Lin Daniu looked at his two sons, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "When all the debts are paid off, buy some cheap paper and you two will follow Goudan in practicing calligraphy."

Goudan next to him bared his little white teeth and shook his head smugly, looking like he really deserved a beating.

Guangdaner was confused. Why did they bring him along? What did it have to do with him?

This time when Lin Daniu went to the county town, he basically sold his products according to the sales tactics that Guangdaner had said. After this trip, he was quite shocked.

Although he had never paid much attention to his son, he could not deny that there was something special about this child.

So after he came back, his attitude began to change slowly, and sometimes he would subconsciously pay attention to Guangdan.

How can I put this? After all, people have to be valuable.

When Guangdan was worthless at home, how many times did Lin Daniu pay attention to him?
