The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 437 The 15th New Year in Ancient Times

Two days later, Lanhua came as expected, holding a pottery jar and introducing it to Su He.

"My mother-in-law is very good at making pickles, and she has a wide variety of them, such as radish, Chinese cabbage, garlic, beans, and cucumbers. She can pickle them all. They are delicious. This time we have a short time, so we only have dried radish. I know you all like spicy food, so I asked my mother-in-law to add more. Lotus, try it."

Lanhua carefully opened the lid, and Su He inhaled an enchanting spicy scent accurately.

Su He took one and put it in his mouth to chew. As expected, it was spicy and crispy, and the taste was no worse than the one Zhou had made before.

"It's delicious. Your mother-in-law is very good at cooking. Are you interested in making some to sell?"

Lanhua was slightly stunned. She didn't expect it to be like this.

"Can this be sold? Shanwa and I are both busy outside, and I'm afraid my mother-in-law can't handle the business alone."

"That's fine. Just sell it in my store first. I have people in my store. How about we settle the bill every seven days?"

Lanhua knew that Su He was taking care of her, and she didn't want to refuse. She really needed money. She had given birth to two sons and was still in debt. She was anxious. If she could stay awake, she would work from day to day. Except for eating and drinking, she would sit on the loom and weave.

She had already visited the textile factory in advance. When working in a textile factory, everyone is paid by piece. The more you work, the more you earn, so everyone works very hard.

"Hehua, I won't be polite to you. Our eldest son is nine years old now. I want to pay off the debt as soon as possible and save money for his betrothal gift."

Su He nodded in agreement, "That's right, when your mother-in-law is done, just take it to the store. That Su's Snack Shop."

Lanhua smiled and nodded, "I know, that store is the most popular, everyone knows it. By the way, Lotus, is the one who came to greet you this morning the wooden wife? She looks like a lady from a wealthy family."

"Yes, her name is Xu Qiao, and I went to Beijing at that time..."

The two chatted like this for the whole day, and Su He even had lunch with Lan Hua.

Lanhua said goodbye and went back only when the sun set.

On the third day, Lanhua got up early, said goodbye to her family, and went to work in the textile factory.

She is the first to arrive and the last to leave every day.

Shanwa is the same. He is willing to do all the dirty and tiring work in the office and does not have the arrogance of a client with connections. His colleagues in the office all like him very much.

Guan was even more outrageous. She was busier than anyone else, and all the space in her house that could stand was used to pickle vegetables.

After the Chinese New Year, the family of five sat on the kang and counted money.

To be more specific, it depends on the number of orchids, and the other four are considered.

"Mother, Shanwa, we have paid off our debt."

Guan narrowed her eyes and smiled. "This is a happy event. We will not disturb the adults and their family on New Year's Eve this year. Tomorrow morning, you and Shanwa will go to the county government to pay off the debt and feel relieved."

Lanhua and Shanwa looked at each other and agreed with a smile.

"We all listen to our mother. After the New Year, we can save enough money for our wedding."

Big Head was caught off guard when his name was called out and his face turned red.

"Mom, can we eat braised pork more often? My classmate Xiao Zhao and his friends eat meat once every five days."

Xiaotou swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of envy and desire.

Lanhua looked sad. In the past, when she wanted to eat braised pork, her mother would make it for her.

"We have meat at home. Your Auntie Hehua sent someone to deliver it this morning. She said that grandma is also an employee of her store, so she sent a bag of brown sugar, two pounds of lean meat, two pounds of pork fat, and five pounds of peanuts. Mom will go make you braised pork in a while."

Little Head was very happy and turned to Big Head and said.

"Brother, you see, mother loves me the most. As long as I ask for it, I can have braised pork."

Lanhua chuckled and gently tapped her youngest son on the head.

"You and your brother are the same. Mother loves you both."

Xiaotou touched his head and looked at everyone with a silly smile.

Here, Su He was discussing with his family in the county government about returning to the capital to report on his work after the New Year.

"The emperor has sent an order, asking us to leave after we finish the spring ploughing. This time when we go back, Mu Tou and A Qiao should get married."

Mu Tou and Xu Qiao looked at each other with smiles and rejected Su He.

"Sister, we are not going to get married. This time I plan to bring all my dowry with me. From now on, Jinyang City will be my second home."

If Mu Tou said this, Su He would definitely break his legs, but since it was his sister-in-law who said this, Su He could only persuade her gently.

"Ah Qiao, getting married is a big deal, do you want to reconsider it?"

"No need, sister. I will go back and persuade my parents myself. Huaihe County has also developed now, and I am going to recommend myself to be the county magistrate. Sister, do you think I should also write a plan and report it to the emperor when I see him?"

Seeing Xu Qiao's attitude, Su He didn't plan to persuade her anymore. After all, she herself hadn't gotten married yet.

"Okay, go ahead and write it. I can help you revise it after you're done."

This is exactly what Xu Qiao wanted to hear. She has always had an idea in her mind that in the future, she will surpass Mu Tou.

"Sister, I've finished writing it. Let's forget about today, New Year's Eve. I'll show it to you tomorrow. Okay?"

Su He laughed, this kid is more ambitious than a piece of wood.

"Okay, come see me tomorrow."

"Thank you, Sister. Mu Tou, you can sit on the side. I will sit with you."

Xu Qiao pushed Mu Tou away and came to Su He to act coquettishly. Mu Tou sat away helplessly. He was the boss outside but the last in status at home.

"Miaomiao, how is your writing going?"

Mu Tou looked at his sister beside him and tried to find a topic to chat with her.

"It's almost done. I'm just waiting for you to report your work for promotion. Don't let me down at the critical moment. By the way, how is your report going? Do you need me to take a look at it?"

Mu Tou looked at his sister's serious face, as if as long as he said he needed help, she would immediately put down her chopsticks and help.

"That's not necessary. I can do it myself. Thank you for your concern."

Mu Tou thanked him with a depressed look on his face and turned to chat with Liu Bai.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that you had a martial arts exchange with General Chen some time ago."

Liu Bai took a sip of rice wine and nodded slightly.

"Yes, to kill some time. General Chen and his men may be moving back to their original border."

Mu Tou was not surprised. Now that the weather was normal, they didn't have to worry about food and water when they went to the border, so naturally they wanted to expand their territory.

"That's perfect. Those skilled craftsmen in our city who have been idle now have work to do. From now on, we in Jinyang will provide the food for the border."

Mu Tou spoke with great confidence. Their fields increased year by year and the harvest had been very stable. He had already fulfilled most of the promise he made to the emperor.

The ten-year plan is expected to be completed in six years.

"Dali caught her breath and started to make small moves again. Mu Tou, you can include this idea in your performance report this time."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he poured a mouthful of peanuts into his mouth.

"Lotus, spiced ones are better."

Su He turned around and said with a smile.

"I have some more in my room. I'll go get it."

"No, you guys continue chatting, I'll go by myself, I know where it is."

Liu Bai smiled at Su He, then got up and went back to the house.

Mu Tou looked at him enviously. His sister and brother-in-law were very loving and he could see them every day.

Look at him again, he is still single even after getting married.

Perhaps it was because Mu Tou's eyes were too resentful, Xu Qiao felt guilty and made a solemn promise to Mu Tou this time.

"I will definitely not go to the study after dinner, I will just accompany you."

"it is good."

Mu Tou smiled happily.
