After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Li smiled and said, "Big sister, why do I feel that everything you say now makes a lot of sense and you seem very knowledgeable."

"Well, it's because I've met so many people. Those restaurant owners are all educated people. I've been around them so much that I've learned a lot from them."

Xiang Chunhua said, "It's mainly because you're smart, Big Sister. Xiaobing's father interacts with the restaurant owner every day, but he hasn't learned anything and is still the same as before."

Li agreed, "That's right, it's mainly because you're smart and intelligent, big sister."

Zhang Hulan quickly changed the subject and asked, "Sister-in-law, you've given birth again now. Do you want to tell your family the good news?"

The local custom of giving red eggs to children is also present. When a new baby arrives in the family, the family will send red eggs to relatives, friends, and neighbors to announce the good news. An odd number of red eggs are given for a boy, and an even number for a girl.

When a daughter gives birth, her parents will be notified, and her parents will also boil red eggs and send them to relatives, friends and neighbors.

Li's eyes darkened and she said, "Forget it."

Zhang Hulan was stunned for a moment, and Xiang Chunhua said quickly, "My eldest brother from my natal family seems to have made a fortune doing business in the capital a few years ago, and the whole family moved there. My sister-in-law hasn't seen her natal family for many years."

Zhang Hulan frowned and asked, "Didn't they tell my sister-in-law the address of her new home?"

Xiang Chunhua said: "We didn't tell my sister-in-law when we left. Once, my sister-in-law went back to her parents' home and found no one there. Later, someone in the village told her that they had moved away."

Well, they were probably afraid that Zhang Hujun and Li would try to curry favor with them.

Zhang Hulan said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. You are a member of our Zhang family now. We just need to live a good life as a family."

Li didn't take it too seriously. She smiled and said, "I know that living a good life is the most real thing..."

……

The news that the Zhang family had a new boy spread quickly throughout the village, and many people came to congratulate them.

Zhao Guoliang and Zhou were the most envious. Old Man Zhang had another grandson, which made them extremely envious.

They also agreed to take Jiang to the provincial capital to see a doctor on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Luo Changqi and the other five also came over to congratulate them, and they also gave New Year's money to the children in their families.

The older and younger children in the family knelt in a row and kowtowed to the five people, who were all grinning from ear to ear.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people go to the mountains to climb high, burn paper at the graves of deceased relatives, and burn incense and worship Buddha in temples.

Zhang Hulan prepared incense and paper for Shanzi and asked him to visit his grandmother's grave.

Zhang Hulan accompanied Shanzi, but did not get close, letting Shanzi burn the paper alone, thinking that Shanzi must have something to tell his grandmother in private.

Shanzi burned paper and incense for He, and kowtowed to her several times.

Zhang Hulan watched from afar, and soon Shanzi came over.

Zhang Hulan did not see any sadness on Shanzi's face. The child had completely adapted to life without his grandmother.

……

Today I am going to a Taoist temple not far from the county town to burn incense.

Old Man Zhang actually doesn't believe in gods or Buddhas. He thinks if praying to gods and Buddhas worked, there wouldn't be so many people suffering in the world, and there wouldn't be so many deaths from wars.

It’s just that he had seen many Taoists fighting in the battlefield like them, so he didn’t believe in gods, but he respected Taoists very much.

Old man Zhang drove the donkey cart out of the pen and said with a smile, "Who of you wants to ride in my cart?"

"I want to sit, I want to sit..."

"I want to ride in grandpa's car, too..."

Zhang Xiaobing, Zhang Xinyue and the other three all climbed onto Old Man Zhang's donkey cart.

"Mom, you should also take Dad's car. It can shelter you from the wind."

Zhang Hulan helped Wang onto the donkey cart of Old Man Zhang. Zhang Hulan asked Zhang Dahua and Shanzi to squeeze in as well, and the carriage was packed full.

The rest of the people drove an "open-top" donkey cart, leaving only Zhang Hujun at home while the rest of them all went.

Luo Changqi and the others also went along, a group of nearly twenty people, quite a large team.

Zhang Xiaobing and Zhang Xinyue were the most lively. They kept sticking their heads out of the carriage to look around and screaming from time to time.

Ziyang Temple is a famous Taoist temple in Changning County, and many people come here to burn incense.

The Taoist temple is built on the top of the mountain, and there are many vendors setting up stalls at the foot of the mountain.

They mainly sell snacks, incense, candles and paper money.

Wang bought incense, candles and paper money.

Zhang Xiaobing couldn't walk after seeing the candied haws, and Zhang Xinyue was drooling at the candied haws.

Luo Changqi smiled and took out money to buy a string of candied haws for each of the children.

"Thank you, Grandpa Luo!"

Luo Changqi smiled and said, "Good boy, you're welcome!"

Zhang Hulan did not stop them. There was no point in these old soldiers keeping the money. They could spend it if they wanted to, and she would make up for it later.

The vendor selling candied haws was an acquaintance. Zhang Hu stopped him and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Gao, why are you here alone? Your father didn't come?"

Gao Xiaoli smiled innocently and replied, "My father sells it over there, and I sell it over here."

Zhang Hulan laughed and said, "You and your son are really smart. You've blocked both ends."

Zhang Hulan then asked, "By the way, why didn't you come to our village to sell things later?"

Gao Xiaoli thought: It’s all because of you. Last time, I was kidnapped by you just as I reached the village entrance. How could we dare to go there?

Zhang Hulan continued, "By the way, Brother Gao, I have a business I'd like to ask you guys for, would you do it?"

Gao Xiaoli asked cautiously, "What business?"

Zhang Hulan said, "When the weather warms up, I'm going to buy chicks, ducklings, and geese. I need a lot. You guys go around the streets and alleys, so you know where they're sold. You can bring them to our village and sell them to me, or you can buy breeding eggs and sell them to me. Do you want to do business with me?"

Gao Xiaoli asked: "How much do you want?"

Zhang Hulan replied, "At least a few thousand. Fewer chickens, but mainly ducklings and goslings, about 3,000 each."

Gao Xiaoli was surprised, "You want to raise so many?"

Zhang Hulan said, "This is just the beginning. I want to raise at least tens of thousands of them in the future."

"Besides the chicks and ducklings, I also need rice bran. You should know where to buy it. You can go buy it and sell it to me. Just don't charge too much."

Gao Xiaoli's eyes lit up, he felt that he was going to get rich this year.

I encountered such a big business on the first day of the new year, and it was a business that came to me.

"Wait a moment, I'll go call my dad..." Gao Xiaoli said, and ran away quickly. Soon he brought Gao Guangtian over.

Zhang Hulan greeted with a smile, "Happy New Year, Boss Gao!"

Gao Guangtian bowed to Zhang Hulan and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, Madam Zhang!"

Gao Guangtian asked, "My son told me that Madam Zhang wants to do business with my son and me?"

Zhang Hulan nodded, and then repeated the plan to buy chicks, ducklings, geese and rice bran.

Gao Guangtian's eyes lit up. This business was indeed not a small one for them. If they cooperated well, they might be able to continue doing it forever.
