The three older children, Zhou Chi, Jin Jingjing, and Jin Yanyan, held each other's thick gloves and played happily on the ice. Xia Chan and the others stood guard by the side.
They were also very pleased to see their children so happy. The biggest wish of a parent is for their children to grow up healthily and happily. They do not think about how promising their children will be.
When the children were tired from playing, they took the children back, and then took the children to the hot springs. They were sweating from skating just now, and it is easy to get sick if they don't wash off.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, the winter hunting team in the village had already set off, and Xia Chan's family also sold the pigs. They didn't bother so much. Instead, they sold the whole pigs directly, selling six domestic black pigs and six of their own. They raised big wild boars, and the remaining four black pigs were killed.
They have a large family. There are fourteen people in their four small family alone. In addition, Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao also want to send meat to the Xiao family in Beijing, so they killed four New Year pigs.
Pig head meat, pig ears, and pig offal were all braised by Xia Chan. The braised food was cooked and shared among several families. Other families had to freeze it in the yard and heat it up when eating. Keep portions in the space, and just bring out a pot when you want to eat.
He also marinated some pork, pig heads, pheasants, hares, etc., smoked them into cured meats in a few days, and sent them back to the Xiao family. Jin Pengfei also wanted to get some for his father-in-law and mother-in-law!
After that, everyone made buns and dumplings together, using a lot of pork, and the remaining pork was divided equally among the four families, and everyone did whatever they wanted.
Chickens, ducks and geese are also prepared and placed in a large tank in the yard. When you want to eat, you can just take a pack home and cook it.
But they didn't prepare much, because they lived in the small courtyard most of the time, and only occasionally came out to do things at home. There were all kinds of food in the small courtyard, so they didn't use it much.
Until the last few days of the year, everyone stopped going to the courtyard after coming out. There were many things at the end of the year, and they were afraid of missing things in the village. There were dividends to be distributed in the village, and there were also dividends at the vermicelli factory.
This year, the model has been changed. Not only the rabbits are sold, but those who sell the rabbits also make a fortune. It can be said that it is a good thing for win-win cooperation.
However, as more and more new households are divided in the village, the amount of money shared equally with each household is getting less and less. However, the amount of money allocated to each household is almost 100, which is still quite good. Plus The dividend from the vermicelli factory is almost over 100 yuan, which is quite a lot of money for a rural family.
Moreover, after everyone separated, many families were families of three or four, and the money shared by just a few people was more than the whole family earned in previous years. It is indeed very good, and everyone also Very contented.
Moreover, many people buy from farms and decide how much they earn. If some people are not afraid to go to the county to sell, the price will be higher and they will earn more, so everyone is very satisfied.
After dividing the money, everyone started to prepare for the New Year. Xia Chan also prepared a lot of New Year's goods. She bought them from outside if she could, and tried not to use the savings from her previous life.
Su Yu also came back from the holiday. Some of them had a holiday before the new year and some had a holiday after the new year. Su Yu chose to have a holiday before the new year and be on duty after the new year.
After the holiday, she first stayed in the Yong'an production team for a few days, and then she and Jin Pengfei took the sisters Jin Jingjing and Jin Miaomiao to visit their grandparents.
The man Su Qin who came to the countryside with Su Yu back then was Su Yu's biological brother. He was thirty-six years old and was getting married at the end of this year. So Su Yu chose to take a break before the end of the year, just in time to take the children to the wedding.
There are four children in Su Yu's family. Su Yu and his younger brothers and sisters are all married, and only Su Qin is left. Because Su Qin works in the army, finding a partner is not as easy as other jobs. Even if he finds a partner, he won't have time to spend time with them. Can't go on either. So I have been putting it off until now. I heard that the woman is only in her twenties, a whole round younger than Su Qin. Everyone is lucky to be Su Qin to marry such a beautiful and charming wife.
When setting off, Xia Chan drove the tractor to take the family of four to the town for a ride. After they got in the car, Xia Chan turned around and went back.
Su Yu didn't say when she would come back. It was very likely that she would not come back until after the holiday. Fortunately, she had divided this year's income a few days ago. This year, she did not sell anything except poultry. She sold six domestic pigs and yams. , cassava, and the livestock, fruits and vegetables raised in the small yard...
In the first year they returned to the village to start their own business, they made 70,000 yuan, and each household received more than 17,000 yuan. To the outside world, it was only a few thousand yuan, and they still sold pigs and mountain products together.
After all, the fish were only in their first year and were too small to be sold.
The poultry is not for sale either, everyone can see that.
Just selling a few pigs, some mountain products, and vegetables grown on the mountain, everyone can guess how much they can sell for, so a few thousand yuan is about the same amount.
Xia Chan bought ten hills and planted so many fruit trees and vegetables. She only made a few thousand yuan in the first year. Everyone thought it was quite low. After all, the cost was too high, but everyone also knew that in a few years, she would earn more money. The fruit trees are bearing fruit, which is definitely not the case.
But they also know that Xia Chan and the others still owe hundreds of thousands and two hundred thousand in capital. In the next many years, no matter how much money they make, they have to pay off their debts first. Their lives are not as easy as everyone else's!
What they didn't know was that Xia Chan also planted fruits and vegetables and raised livestock in the small yard. She was making money in a low-key manner without letting everyone know.
But it’s good to let everyone think that they only earn a few thousand yuan, because then no one will be jealous of them. However, earning a few thousand yuan a year is considered a high income in this era, so there are still many people Learn from them.
Just learn, raising them is very simple, but selling them all is not easy. They have to explore by themselves. Xia Chan has no obligation to teach them. After all, she doesn't have tuition to teach them.
On New Year's Eve, the whole village was filled with fragrance. Xia Chan and her family were each cooking in the kitchen. Of course, it was unrealistic and unrealistic to just rely on one kitchen to make so many things. What a waste of time.
Afraid that the children would disturb her at home, she asked Xiao Tiantian to watch the children in the courtyard and wait until the New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready before letting them out.
Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi, Xia Bin and Xiao Mimi, Jin Pengyuan and Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao, the three kitchens are all firing up at the same time, and they are all cooking New Year's Eve dinner. Just cook a few dishes at a time, and wait until it is almost time to eat the dinner. Stir-fry a few more vegetarian dishes and you've got a New Year's Eve dinner.
While the vegetables in the pot were simmering, Xia Chan took out drinks from the space. There were many children at home, so she took things that children could drink, such as orange juice and coconut juice...
It's freezing outside, but the temperature inside the house is very high. Have some frozen pears and frozen persimmons, and the ice-cold feeling will be so comfortable.
With the concerted efforts of the family, a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was prepared just like this. There was not such a big space in the house, and the temperature in the yard was more than ten degrees below zero, so everyone could only eat the New Year's Eve dinner in the warm courtyard. After the New Year's Eve dinner, take a hot spring bath, let alone feel comfortable. (End of chapter)
