"Here, sister-in-law, these two taels are for you."

Su Jinyue looked at the silver and took only half of it. "I only need this. The rest is for you. I can't take it."

"Without your help, I would not have been able to successfully complete this banquet. Naturally, everyone will get a share of the reward."

Xu Si winked playfully and put his arms around Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue felt inexplicably shy, but she didn't want to pull her arm away, so she just walked stiffly.

"Then I can't accept it, or I'll feel bad."

She genuinely felt that she hadn't done much.

Seeing her insistence, Xu Si did not force her, "How about this, use the extra two taels to buy some cloth, and then make clothes for everyone in the family."

This time Su Jinyue couldn't refuse, after all, it was considering the whole family.

"Okay, then mom and I will work together and we will be able to wear new ones soon."

As for Xu Si, thinking about the time when she learned embroidery before, Su Jinyue had no hope that she could make clothes.

Gradually, she got used to being so close to Xu Si, moved her arms, and adjusted herself to a comfortable position.

"You're back. Looking at you from this perspective, you really look like a pair of sisters."

Lou Yuexin looked out the gate from time to time to see if there were two people around, and happened to see this scene.

Xu Si and Su Jinyue looked at each other and laughed together.

When the two of them sat down on the chairs to rest, Shen Anyi asked, "Is everything going well?"

"It went smoothly. Some guests even said they wanted to order a custom cake from us."

Xu Si shared the good news with everyone.

"When do you want it?" Shen Anyi felt his still sore arms and felt inexplicably worried.

"It's not confirmed yet. He will probably come to the shop tomorrow to discuss the details with us."

Xu Si relaxed his body, snuggled into the chair, and spoke slowly.

Shen Anyi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, but this job is really tiring. It seems that physical exercise should be put on the agenda."

Thinking back to the past, every morning when they woke up, he and Shen Jingchuan would first do a set of boxing in the yard to stretch their muscles.

This is also what their martial arts master taught them, and it has gradually become a habit.

At this point, they were so busy making money every day that they didn't practice anymore.

Sure enough, life can wear away one's dreams and passions.

Lou Yuexin waited for them to finish talking and asked with concern, "Are you hungry? The kitchen has left some food for you."

"Mom, you're so nice. I'm really hungry. I didn't eat much at noon." There was a hint of coquettishness in Xu Si's voice.

At that time, I was worried about something and had no appetite. Besides, there were not many dishes left, so it was difficult to eat as much as I wanted.

Su Jinyue also felt hungry, so she stopped Xu Si from getting up and went to the kitchen to get some food.

"Eat slowly." Lou Yuexin advised softly as she watched the two of them eating happily.

Xu Si was unable to speak as he had food in his mouth, but he controlled his movements.

For dinner, they prepared salad, stir-fried beans with meat, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. All the vegetables they used were grown by themselves.

The tomatoes are grown from that pile of mixed seeds. They are pure natural, with red skin, less flesh and more juice. They are suitable for stir-frying or eating raw.

It is clear that this piece of land was a wasteland before, but I don’t know if it is because of the regular application of farmyard manure or for other reasons, but the vegetables planted here are growing well.

Needless to say, looking at their expressions, Lou Yuexin knew that she had done a good job.

If I have the chance, I would do it for my parents once. I believe they will be very happy.

It’s a pity that she can’t go back to the capital. Her parents are old and it’s difficult for them to come here.

Suddenly she felt a little sad. Seeing Xu Si and the other person finish their meal, she bit her lip and reluctantly started another topic.

"Do you know what day it is today?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion when they heard this.

"Is there anyone celebrating his birthday?" Xu Si asked tentatively.

Lou Yuexin shook her head.

"Is it the day we don't work?" Shen Yanchen said casually, and everyone was speechless.

"Today is the last day of the month."

Xu Si's mind suddenly became clear, "Oh, I see, it's time to split it, right?"

"Yes, you guys clean up the dishes and we'll start settling the bill."

Everyone was very excited and cleaned up the mess together in no time.

In front of Lou Yuexin were an account book, an abacus and a bag of silver. Shen Anyi sat beside her, protecting the lamp with his hands.

It not only gathers the light, but also prevents the lamp from burning things.

The abacus clattered for a long time, and the account books were turned page by page.

The final conclusion was, "This time the share is the profit within 43 days, after deducting the cost, the total profit is 54 taels."

Seeing that no one said anything, Lou Yuexin asked, "Do you want to see the account book, in case I made a mistake in the calculation?"

"No need. We all believe in Mom's ability to settle accounts."

Shen Jingchuan smiled, he was just too happy.

Just now, while Lou Yuexin was calculating and reading out the data, Xu Si also calculated it in his mind and found that there was indeed no problem.

It is normal to earn so much. Although cold skin, cold noodles, cold fish and lemonade are cheap, there are meat dishes among the cold dishes, so you can make a lot of money just from this.

“那么账上要留流动资金16两200文,阿肆得15两120文,我们得3两780文,祈宁和清欢各1两890文。”

"Do I have one too?" Qi Ning was playing with toys at the side and was very surprised when he suddenly heard his own name.

"Yes, our Qi Ning fell asleep last time." Shen Anyi touched his head.

"I forgot to tell him too." Su Jinyue was a little annoyed, "It was your second aunt who gave you 1% of her own money. You must be filial to your second aunt in the future."

"It's okay." Seeing his mother like this, Qi Ning immediately ran to her side and rubbed her, then looked at Xu Si with admiration, "Don't worry, second aunt, I will definitely be filial to you, even if I don't have money."

Xu Si couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, I'll wait then."

"Yes, I will take care of your second half of life. I will take care of your second aunt until her death, and take care of her excrement and urine..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Second aunt knows what you mean." Xu Si hurriedly stopped. Her life had just begun and the rest of her life had already been arranged.

Moreover, you can take care of your elderly and see them to the end of their lives, but you don’t have to take care of their excrement and urine.

Lou Yuexin counted the silver and money carefully and distributed it to everyone, then everyone dispersed.

"Mom, please keep it for me." Qi Ning handed the silver to Su Jinyue before going to bed.

“No need, just keep it yourself.” Su Jinyue held Qi Ning’s small hand in her palm. This was given to the child by Xu Si. If she held it, the meaning would change.

At this moment, Xu Si was facing away from Shen Yanchen, taking out a wooden box from the drawer of the dressing table.

Inside was the 15 taels of silver she had earned from selling her wedding dress. Although she spent some of it at first, she later made up for it with the money her mother gave her, in bits and pieces.

She also put in the eight taels of silver she earned from the banquet and her share of the profits.

These 39 taels of silver became her personal piggy bank.

When she had saved enough money, she would deposit it in a bank.
