Chapter 99 Buying Things and Going Home for the New Year
"Third brother, what do you think we should buy for grandma and uncle and aunt? I think my eldest and second sisters-in-law will definitely buy some clothes and food. What about us? What should we buy?"
Liu Jiali was sewing a set of underwear for an adult man, and the size was obviously for Lin Qingran.
"Half a month ago, Qingxue bought fur hats, shoes, and gloves for Grandpa and Grandma. You also said that the eldest and second sisters-in-law should buy clothes and food. What do you think we should buy?"
Lin Qingming did not answer but asked, this is the bad thing about having many brothers in the family. It is easy to give the same gifts to the elders. The younger generations of the Lin family are filial to you, and the brothers and sisters are very united and friendly.
Liu Jiali stopped what she was doing, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "How about buying Grandpa some good tobacco? I think the cheap tobacco he smokes is strong and pungent. And buy Grandma some to wipe her hands and face? Your hands are all cracked from working, and every winter, you get chilblains on your face and hands."
Lin Qingming nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Sure. Grandpa and uncle love to drink, so I'll buy them each a jar of wine! I'll also buy grandma and aunt a jar of mild and easy-to-drink wine, but I also want to bring them something else. Grandpa, grandma, and uncle will definitely like these."
Liu Jiali smiled and said, "Okay, that's about it. Oh, and bring back a piece of silver jewelry for Grandma, Auntie, and Qingyue. When we have more money, we can buy them gold jewelry. Qingyue, in particular, is getting married soon. I think the girls from wealthy families have almost prepared their dowries by now. Shouldn't we prepare something for Qingyue too?"
Lin Qingming said, "Sure, you can take care of these. We don't have to worry about Qingyue's dowry. Qingxue received a batch of gold, silver and jewelry from the bandit's lair before, and we divided some of it among ourselves. Qingxue said that she would give some to Qingyue as a dowry."
Liu Jiali responded: "Okay, as long as Qingxue is prepared."
Although Liu Jiali was very curious, she knew that if Lin Qingyue had it, her family must have it too. If she didn't give it to them now, it meant that the time was not right.
After the couple had discussed it, they chatted about family matters. Lin Qingran calculated the expenses for the period and seeing that it was getting late, he put away his things and lay down to rest while hugging Liu Jiali.
At this time, the snowflakes outside had stopped falling, but the howling cold wind was still biting and never stopped all night. The cold wind blew through the branches, making a "woohoo" sound, as if telling people about the cold and ruthlessness of winter.
Although the house was as warm as spring, the gusts of wind still came in through the gaps in the window, making people feel a little cold. The sleeping couple hugged each other tightly, as if the tighter they hugged, the warmer they would feel.
When she woke up, it was already dawn. When Lin Qingxue woke up, she quickly got dressed, washed up, and went to the front yard to have breakfast. When she got there, Lin Qingming and the others had already sat down and were eating.
Seeing her coming, Hu Tao hurriedly brought her breakfast over. The older ones had just finished their breakfast and put down their bowls and chopsticks, and the ten brothers Lin Xiaoshan came over to have breakfast.
"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, and Eldest Aunt, good morning," Lin Xiaoshan and the others walked to the dining table and saw Lin Qingming and his group. They began to greet them and call them.
"The New Year is just a few days away. Do you want to go back to the village with your aunt today, or come back with us in a few days?"
Lin Qingming looked at the ten younger generations in the family with a happy face. During this period, they studied and practiced martial arts at the same time, and they were very hardworking. They also saw it.
"Dad, let's go back with our aunt today!" Lin Xiaoshan looked at his younger brothers and sisters and said with a smile.
"Yeah! Anyway, we can go back and study. We will go to Lixiang Academy after the New Year. We want to take advantage of this time to stay at home and accompany our great-grandparents."
Lin Xiaotao also said that in fact, they wanted to go home and have some fun and play for a while before going to the academy to study, because they would have no time to play once they started studying.
"Okay, Xiaoshan and Xiaotao will go shopping with Qingxue, and the others will take the carriage back first. Don't fall behind in your studies when you get back," Lin Qingming nodded slightly and said with a smile.
"Got it," the children responded in unison.
After everything was arranged, Lin Qingming and the others moved to the front hall. After everyone sat down and waited for a cup of tea, Lin Qingran brought over the account books and silver notes that had been calculated last night.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Qingxue, look, this is the silver we earned in the past two weeks, a total of 768 taels, and there are also some copper coins. Here's what I thought: 18 taels and some copper coins will be kept as operating funds, and the 750 taels will be divided. Qingxue will get 30%, which is 225 taels of silver, each of us will get 75 taels, and Zhonggong will get 20%, which is 150 taels of silver."
As Lin Qingran spoke, he opened the account book and placed it on the table, then took out the silver from the box, counted out the amount for each person, and placed it in front of each person.
No one was surprised that he could make so much money, because everyone had seen how booming the food restaurant's business had been in the past half month and how hard the work was every day.
"Okay, everyone take your share of silver! Qingxue, you can collect Qingyue's share first, and give it to her when you get home for safekeeping. It's getting late now, so everyone should go about their business!"
After Lin Qingming finished speaking, he took out his share of the silver and handed it to Li Yanniang for safekeeping. Naturally, Lin Qingbai and Lin Qingran followed suit.
Lin Qingxue put away her share of the silver and Lin Qingyue's share. Seeing that it was getting late, she asked Lin Xiaoqi to take her younger brothers and sisters back to the village in a carriage, and she took Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaotao to the street to buy things.
Lin Qingxue had just gone out with her two nephews when Lin Qingming and the others followed them out. There were two horse-drawn carriages in the city. One took the children back to the village, and the other was also used by Lin Qingxue and the others. Lin Qingming and the others had to walk to the street to buy things.
After leaving home and coming to the street, the three couples of Lin Qingming brothers went to buy what they needed separately.
Lin Qingming and his wife bought two sets of clothes for each of the three people including Old Man Lin at home. Lin Qingbai and his wife bought snacks and other things. Lin Qingran and his wife did as they had discussed last night.
After buying the things, everyone went back to the shop in tacit understanding. Those who went back first started to get busy, putting the bought things on the counter and started cleaning.
Lin Qingming's brothers all bought things for Old Man Lin, Mrs. Lin, and Uncle Lin and his wife. Even Lin Qingyue, who was at home accompanying her elders, was not left out.
