You are my golden finger

In the evening, as usual, the clan leader, the village head, Uncle Mu Xiong and Master Liang gathered at Lin Xijin's house, and the clan elders also came. Now the village head's son Wang Jianbin and Master Liang are in charge of Qingyuan Charity School, and they also have a lot of things to report.

"Jin'er, are you tired? Grandma is here. I thought you should be back by now, so I prepared some roasted chicken for today." Grandma He's voice came before she even showed up.

"Yes, I thought these kids should be back today, so I stewed some sweet and sour pork ribs for nearly an hour. They are soft, sticky and sweet, and I guarantee those kids will swallow their tongues in a while." Qingsong Academy had already had its winter vacation, and Aunt Jianan had returned from the academy. She still loved to joke as usual.

So with the addition of their own food, the evening meal was complete. Several families did not come empty-handed, and some used carts or baskets to deliver the cooked food to their homes, which was still hot.

Lin Xijin simply saved herself the trouble and added some home-cooked food, which she placed all on the heating rack so that everyone could enjoy the buffet.

Everyone was used to this way of eating and liked the lively and comfortable atmosphere, so they took their own food and started eating.

After eating and drinking, everyone talked about the harvest of Shiziwo and Qingyuan County this year.

"The per capita income in our village has exceeded 20 taels this year. Every family has built a new house. Even Sanpo's family has built five tiled houses. Next year, Erhu will take the examination for the scholar."

"The workshops have been built and the old houses have been demolished. Our village is very beautiful now."

"Let alone our village, even in the whole Qingyuan, every town and village has had a bumper harvest. Every family has surplus food and extra money in their pockets."

"Yes, last time when the autumn crops were harvested, County Magistrate Li said that this year everyone would have an average of 500 kilograms of food rations per person. Jin'er has exempted everyone from taxes this year, and families across the county are having a good time."

"Yes, don't you see that there are more and more children studying in the charity school? Everyone knows the importance of literacy. It's a pity that our county can't go to other places for examinations, otherwise there will definitely be students and scholars everywhere."

Everyone laughed so hard when they were happy talking that they were all a little drunk when they left.

Lin Xijin did not go to sleep. She took advantage of the night to greet her friends on the mountain, and let the big tiger and the wolves have a good meal before returning to her room to rest.

The next morning, the children were asked to send New Year gifts to the clan leader's family, and Xihui and Xijia were asked to send New Year gifts and pension money to Lin Guiqi. The clan leader was still worried about Lin Guiqi's family, so he personally took Xingwen and Xingcheng with him. Jiang and Lin Musheng were stupid, and now they only knew how to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, but they didn't cause any trouble.

The clan leader and Lin Xijin said that Jiang and Lin Musheng had been stupid and dumb since they came out of the county jail. They could eat and sleep, and could do simple tasks if they were told to. They were just afraid of strangers, and would hide in their rooms whenever someone showed up.

Lin Musheng's two children were also useless, especially his son, who was spoiled by Jiang and was lazy.

Lin Xijin couldn't care less. If a tree is fundamentally crooked, no matter how you correct it, it will never become a pillar of society.

The same is true for people. Therefore, it is said that the original family is very important, and family education always comes first.

After asking the housekeeper to bring the prepared red envelopes and gifts into the car, Lin Xijin took Xihui and others for a walk.

The first place they arrived at was the cement factory. The cement factory would officially have its annual holiday tomorrow. The craftsmen in the factory were indescribably happy to see Lin Xijin come to the factory in person to comfort everyone.

At the end of the year, the cement factory's products were in short supply, and the workers' income was linked to the sales of the products, so everyone reaped a good harvest.

But being valued by the master and remembered by others allows everyone to feel their existence, which is the humanistic care that everyone needs.

Along the way, he went to Zhuangzi, Linyuan Porcelain Factory, Bookstore, and Medical College to express his condolences to the people present.

The students of the medical school have gone back home for the winter break, but some teachers are on duty because there are still patients hospitalized in the affiliated hospital. The pharmaceutical factory will also be closed tomorrow.

Lin Xijin told Banxia and the others to arrange the shifts in the inpatient department, and then take turns going home for the New Year. Everyone happily agreed.

After a tour, everyone can see the changes in Qingyuan. No worries about food and clothing, a smooth life, and people living in harmony, this is the current living condition of the people in Qingyuan. Although there is still some distance to the word "rich", Qingyuan is full of spring.

In the evening, Aunt Jianan and Xingjie came home and presented the account books and the money they earned.

At the end of the year, the canteen made a lot of money. After deducting the costs, labor, and expenses for the newly built restaurant next to it, it still made a net profit of more than 170,000 taels of silver. After deducting the 10% profit given to Qingsong Academy, each family made a net profit of more than 50,000 taels of silver.

Aunt Jianan was so happy that she couldn't suppress her joy.

The bookstore took the route of taking care of students and earned less, only more than 10,000 taels a year. Ten percent of the profit was given to Xingjie, and the rest was incorporated into the general account of Rulin Bookstore.

Xingjie was no less happy than Aunt Jianan. In the first year of working independently, he earned more money than the entire family's income. How could he not be excited?

However, his excitement was less after comparing with Ye Jinlin, Xingwen, Xingwu and others.

On the night of the 28th day of the lunar year, several accounting experts in the family summarized all the income. At the end of the year, all businesses made a net profit of 1.34 million taels. It has to be said that Lin Xijin is a master at making money.

The best reward for yourself after a year of busyness is to have a good New Year, with food, drinks, fun, new clothes and red envelopes.

This year is the most festive and lively year in the entire Shiziwo.

The hustle and bustle outside did not affect Lin Xijin's schedule. At midnight on the first day of the new year, she flew to Kyoto as they had agreed to pick up a certain arrogant man and bring him back to Shiziwo.

Murong Xu had been waiting at Zhuangzi for a long time. When he saw her getting off the plane, he took her into his arms without saying a word.

"Why are you so impatient! An Yi and the others are still here!" Lin Xijin felt a little embarrassed.

"They are not here and they cannot see." He simply gave her a princess hug and carried her back to the house.

A wave of overwhelming hot kisses came over her, leaving her breathless.

After a long time, Murong Xu let her go and took her hand to the table.

"You must be hungry. Come and have a midnight snack, then we'll go back to Shiziwo." As he said this, he helped Lin Xijin serve soup and pick up dishes, and took care of her eating and drinking.

After eating and drinking, the two flew back to Shiziwo in the night. But when they returned to Shiziwo, they were greeted by an unexpected scene.
