While talking, Fourth Grandma went back to the house and took out a cloth bag, "You siblings have also made a lot of money this year. Fourth Grandma didn't have anything to give you, so she just made a few clothes for the New Year. You guys try them on to see how big they are."

Is it appropriate?"

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu then remembered that they were only busy buying New Year's goods there and had forgotten about making new clothes for the New Year. Fortunately, Fourth Grandma was still thinking of them.

Let Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu try it in the house, and the fourth grandma went to the outhouse to cook. Since the winter, every household has become accustomed to cooking on the stove in the outhouse. While cooking, the kang was burned and the kang was burned.

Can save two handfuls of firewood.

Although Fourth Grandma and Lin Erlai are not in the village, Lin Xiaoman comes to clean up their house every few days, and burns two more firewood, so it will not be damp when they come back.

Fourth Grandma made each person two thick winter coats and two fall winter coats, both made of silk. Lin Erhu's was one green and one blue, and Lin Xiaoman's was one red and one pink. The colors looked festive.

Pair it with a winter coat and a small hat sewn with white rabbit fur edges. Wearing it on your head makes you look cute and cute.

When the siblings came out after changing, the fourth grandma clapped her hands and laughed, "I just said that Xiaoman and Erhu are both good-looking, and the white rabbit fur-trimmed hats match best. Look, how beautiful they are."

Lin Erlai also nodded after seeing it, "Yeah, it looks good!"

During the meal, Fourth Grandma mentioned that there was also a workshop selling sour plum soup and ginger-date tea in the city. Although the taste was not as good as her own, the price was half the price. Many regular customers were attracted to it. Fourth Grandma’s shop

Most of the business was lost immediately.

Lin Xiaoman said: "I didn't want Fourth Grandma to do this all the time. In the past few days during the Chinese New Year, every household is eating well and sleeping on the fire. I think many people are getting angry. After the market opens, I will get one for Fourth Grandma."

As for the herbal tea recipe, in addition to sour plum soup, Fourth Grandma can also make some herbal tea and sell it together."

The fourth grandma was a little hesitant, "The fourth grandma is old, I don't know if she can still do it."

"If Fourth Grandma can't do the job, just hire someone. Fourth Grandma can just sit back and collect money."

When she heard that she was going to hire someone, the Fourth Grandma was a little worried about the wages, but when she thought that selling a can of sour plum soup would earn enough to hire someone for a day's wages, she didn't seem that worried, "Okay, I'll try it first, I really can't do it anymore."

, you can find someone else to do it."

After dinner, Lin Xiaoman and her brother helped put away the dishes and were about to go home. Lin Erlai called Lin Xiaoman while the fourth grandma was not in the house, "Xiaoman, people often come to the store these days to inquire about hot pot ingredients.

, there are also a few people in the store who seem to be not very honest with their hands and feet. Although the patriarch asked everyone to be stricter and guard the hot pot ingredients very strictly, there are so many people and many hands, it is inevitable that some hot pot ingredients will be stolen. You

Let’s see if someone can come up with the recipe for hot pot ingredients?”

"Just mess around, I'll lose if you mess around!" Lin Xiaoman smiled heartlessly at Lin Erlai.

She's really not afraid of this, not to mention that she can't even figure out what's in the hot pot ingredients. Even the most important butter and chili are not available to people here.

In a few years, if someone figures out the ingredients in hot pot ingredients, Lin Xiaoman and Hedong Village will have already made a lot of money, and they may start another profitable business.

"As long as you know what's going on, I'll send those with unclean hands and feet to the county magistrate later." Lin Erlai felt relieved after hearing what Lin Xiaoman said, but he was the only one who had unclean hands and feet in the store.

I don’t even want to tolerate it.

"Okay, let's go back to the store and hire people again, and have them all sign a deed. If anyone dares to steal items from the store, or try to make a fortune, they will not only be sent to the official, but they will also be made to pay."

After talking about what happened in the store, the fourth grandma happened to come in. Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erlai made a tacit agreement not to mention the bad things in the store again.

Early on New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers rang out intermittently in the village. Lin Erhu couldn't lie down anymore. He put on his clothes and wiped his face carelessly, holding a paper lantern in one hand and a bag containing small whips and incense sticks in the other.

As he was about to run out, Lin Xiaoman caught him and smeared a layer of cream on his face before letting him out.

In the past few months, I have eaten well and raised myself well, and drank a box of Youth Growth Milk every day. Erhu has grown a lot in size. Even the clothes Lin Xiaoman wore when he was separated were much smaller than girls of the same age in the village.

, she is considered tall.

Even the body has undergone obvious changes. Even the long-delayed Guishui arrived in the middle of the twelfth lunar month.

But in Lin Xiaoman's opinion, apart from the monthly stomachaches and troubles, Guishui really doesn't have any good benefits.

Hey, why is it so difficult for women?

Fortunately, compared to the women here, she is much luckier to have a napkin.

I heard from Xiangxing that when she came to Guishui, she didn't dare to move or lie down. If she was not careful, it would be everywhere. In those days, she walked with her legs crossed because she was afraid of the menstrual belt made of plant ash.

Will fall.

Lin Xiaoman often laments how difficult it is for women here. They don’t even have cotton yet. She wants to teach Xiang Xing how to make a menstrual belt out of cotton, but she doesn’t have the materials.

After the new year and spring begins, cotton must be planted no matter what.

Just as he was thinking about someone knocking on the door outside, Lin Xiaoman opened the door and saw Lin Goudan standing outside crying, "Second sister, second brother won't give me the whip."

Lin Xiaoman didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lin Goudan is so cute, why are Erhu willing to bully him?

"Come in with the second sister. I will get you a whip. You can play with it by yourself."

Lin Goudan immediately beamed: It’s better for the second sister, unlike the second brother who doesn’t like to talk to him when he’s having fun.

Taking a bag of small whips and a handful of incense given by Lin Xiaoman, Lin Goudan whined and ran away.

Lin Xiaoman was about to close the door and go back to look at the materials for preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, when he heard someone shout: "Miss Xiaoman..."

Lin Xiaoman turned around and saw Qing Shu running over here dragging a large sledge. There were three large baskets on the sledge, which were full. At a glance, he could see the pork and chicken on the top.

Lin Xiaoman felt that no matter how approachable Lu Jin was, he wouldn't want to celebrate the New Year at his own home, right?

Soon, Qingshu slid all the way to Lin Xiaoman, with his standard and somewhat naive smile, "My lord and I can't go home for the New Year, and everyone from the county government has gone back to celebrate the New Year, and no one who stays is good at cooking."

, Miss Xiaoman, please take pity on us and help us cook a New Year’s Eve dinner?”

Lin Xiaoman originally wanted to refuse. It was also the first year that she and Lin Erhu celebrated the New Year alone, and they wanted to have a sense of ceremony. Why would they want to add two outsiders?

Seeing Lin Xiaoman's expression of reluctance, Qingshu flattened his lips and said, "Miss Xiaoman..."

Lin Xiaoman was really annoyed by Qingshu's pretending to be pitiful, so he could only reluctantly ask: "Where are you and the adults going to eat?"

Qingshu saw that her tone had softened and said hurriedly: "It's at Mr. Xu's house in the west of the village. Miss Xiaoman can just go over and help."

Knowing that they didn't want to eat at his own home, Lin Xiaoman didn't refuse anymore. He also wanted to make New Year's Eve dinner at home. At the same time, it wouldn't cost much to make an extra portion. Besides, Mr. Xu taught Erhu how to read.

I don’t have any other hobbies, so it’s appropriate to help cook a New Year’s Eve dinner.
