Chapter 442
After everyone packed up and came out of the small courtyard, Xia Chan took the children to play with cannonballs. During the Chinese New Year, children like to play with this thing. Listening to the rough sound of cannons from time to time, if you don't buy it for the children, the children will listen. It also made her feel itchy, so Xia Chan bought a throwing cannon without any power and just threw it on the ground or stepped on it with her feet.
There are also bahua flowers that are held in the hands like thin bamboo poles. Adults accompany the children to place them together. The bahua flowers bloom into beautiful flowers in the night, and the faint light shines on everyone's faces, making everyone extremely happy.
After playing for a while and having enough fun, everyone went to the house to sit on the kang to keep warm and rest. Xia Chan made tea for everyone and brought sugar trays for everyone to eat snacks and drink tea.
Jin Jingjing and Jin Miaomiao are not here to celebrate the New Year this year, so their New Year's money will be put away temporarily and will be given to them when they return. The remaining four children have received several New Year's money.
Zhou Chi and Zhou Zhuo both wanted to hand over their New Year's money to Xia Chan for management, but in order to cultivate their financial management skills, Xia Chan asked them to keep it by themselves and remember how much they spent, so as not to forget their mistakes later. I thought someone else had stolen it.
Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi started teaching Zhou Chi how to read and write very early, and they followed the teachings in the textbook. Although Zhou Chi hadn't read yet, he had already learned the third grade knowledge, so they asked him to memorize it by himself. Accounting is a very simple matter for him.
Everyone didn't keep up the New Year's Eve. They chatted for a while. After feeling sleepy, they went home to sleep. Although they all lived in the same yard, Xia Chan still sent Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao back in person. After all, the snow in the yard had already frozen. , the elderly cannot withstand a fall.
Soaking in hot springs can condition the body, but hot springs are not a panacea, and they definitely still need to pay attention to them.
Xia Chan's house had a telephone installed before, because it was too troublesome to go to the brigade headquarters to answer the phone. It took dozens of minutes and an hour to go back and forth, which took more than two hours.
It cost several thousand yuan to install a telephone, and their family was not short of money, so they applied directly and installed it. Years ago, Xiao's father, Xiao's mother, Xiao Fengfeng, and Chen Haifeng all called from Beijing.
Xia Chan and Chen Haifeng are partners, and they make money together. Chen Haifeng naturally needs to find Xia Chan frequently. She is capable, but she does not have as many novel ideas as Xia Chan. He still needs to ask Xia Chan for her opinions.
Father Xiao and mother Xiao didn't have much time off during the New Year, so they didn't come over. Grandpa Xiao and grandma Xiao had Xia Chan and their three granddaughters with them, so they didn't have to worry.
I'll ask for leave when I'm not busy.
Xiao Yunfan also called a few days before the Chinese New Year. He said a few words to Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao, and also said hello to a few children. Xia Chan really wanted to ask Xiao Yunfan if she knew Xia Chun. After all, Xia Chan had been there in her dream. As Xia Chun, seek justice for the five brothers and sisters.
Also, that Xia Chun's brother was also named Xia Bin, but Xia Chan had never met Xia Bin in person, and she didn't have Xia Bin in her mind at the time.
I don’t know if there are siblings Xia Bin and Xia Chun in real life.
Xia Chan hesitated for a while, but did not ask in the end, so as not to affect Xiao Yunfan's work. She would ask him again when he comes to visit Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao.
Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao are his parents, and he will definitely come to visit them.
Xia Chan is really curious about the brother and sister Xia Bin and Xia Chun. It is impossible for her to possess Xia Chun in her dream for no reason. There must be some connection.
But in this book, the world has collapsed so early that the real mother doesn’t even know her, and there’s no way to figure it out anymore. Everyone just needs to live their own lives.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it was time to return to her parents' home. Xia Chan and the others thought they didn't have to leave because their grandparents were nearby, but they still went to the house where Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao lived to pay New Year greetings. Many married girls in the team or girls who married in the village took their husbands and children back to their parents' homes on this day. Qin Hongmei's eldest daughter Jiang Yue also came back with her husband and children to visit Qin Hongmei and Jiang Dayong.
Xia Chan knew about Jiang Yue's birth, but she didn't know the man's family, so she didn't go there. However, she gave Qin Hongmei a gift and asked Qin Hongmei to take it to Jiang Yue.
But Xia Chan didn't expect that Jiang Yue would bring her husband and child to visit her on the mountainside. Jiang Yue's child was born in September, one month older than Xiao Tiantian's second child. Although it was a boy, it was Maybe the conditions are not as good as Xiao Tiantian's, so the children don't look as good as Xiao Tiantian's children.
After all, ordinary people don't live like them, where they have meat and nutrition every day.
But as long as the child is healthy, it's okay to be a little thin.
Jiang Yue's husband was also selected for Jiang Yue by Qin Hongmei and Jiang Dayong. He is a very simple man. The elders don't like the kind of man who is smooth-talking and smooth-tongued. And as someone who has been here, he is really good at judging people. This man is also good at judging people. Okay, I can’t be rich, but I can live an honest life.
There are very few men who are honest, so being truly honest is quite rare.
Xia Chan asked them to sit down and rest in the house, made them hot tea, served them candies and pastries, and also gave the baby a red envelope.
Not to mention her relationship with Qin Hongmei, it was the first time she met a baby. If possible, she still had to give a meeting gift, and giving a red envelope was the most appropriate.
Jiang Yue came here today because she wanted to learn how to make money. They also wanted to make their family's life better. Xia Chan asked them to raise pigs or plant fruit trees, because this way they would not have to leave their hometown and travel around. Now for pork The demand is still huge, which means you can make money by raising pigs.
As for fruit trees, as long as they are planted well, there will be harvests for many years to come. The most important time is that the era of fruit growth is coming, and it is still too late to plant fruit trees now.
As people's conditions get better and better, the demand for fruits is naturally increasing. The most important thing is that not many people are engaged in fruit cultivation on a large scale. When everyone discovers this business opportunity, they will start growing fruits. It's too late.
So it’s still too late to plant.
You can make money by raising some free-range chickens in an orchard.
In fact, in this era, you can make money as long as you work hard. It is different from the 21st century. If you want to make money in the 21st century, hard work alone is useless. You also need resources and connections. Without these , it is really difficult to move forward.
Jiang Yue and the others sat for a while and then went back because they had to go home for dinner.
Years later, Jin Pengfei and Su Yu came back with Jin Jingjing and Jin Miaomiao, and Xia Chan gave them the sisters' lucky money.
"Su Yu, what's your sister-in-law's name?" Xia Chan was shocked when she heard Su Yu mention her sister-in-law's name and hurriedly asked.
"Shen Qinghe, what's wrong? Do you know her?" Su Yu looked at Xia Chan curiously.
Xia Chan shook her head hurriedly and smiled sheepishly, "How could I know your sister-in-law? I think your sister-in-law's name is very nice, just like the names of the beautiful, elegant and beautiful heroines in the stories we have seen. Nice.”
