Chapter 151 New Year's Eve
The first New Year's Eve after returning to Beijing was much more lively than when I was in Dengxian.
It happened to be snowing last night, and the snow had not melted. The boys were building snowmen in the yard to play snowball fights. Snowballs were everywhere. The girls screamed and dodged everywhere, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers were heard.
Ji Wan is a big girl, so she didn't make a fuss with them. She stood under the eaves of the corridor with her hands in her arms and smiled, her eyes soft.
"Why don't Sister Wan go with her to set off fireworks?"
Xiao Rui walked to her and asked with a smile.
Ji Wan shook her head, "They are having fun, so I won't join in the fun."
"You are not yet in the hairpin, and you are also a child." Xiao Rui pulled her hand, "If you don't set off fireworks, just follow me to build a snowman."
“Ari…”
Ji Wan had no choice but to follow her.
She is a woman who is almost thirty years old and plays with a bunch of children. She is still a little uneasy at first. In her previous life, she had almost no happy childhood. After coming to this world, she spent two years with her family. The long-lost warmth made her greedy.
But this place is not her original home, and there is a group of people who are not related to them. She can't even treat them as real family members without any grudges. However, the innocent laughter of the children and the brilliant fireworks in the night sky pushed the atmosphere of New Year's Eve to a climax, and she gradually relaxed. She handed the hand stove to the maid, held the cold snow, kneaded it into a snowball, and threw it towards Xiao Rui who pulled her into this atmosphere.
Xiao Rui usually looks like an old-fashioned little adult. He always regards himself as an elder brother and rarely plays with his younger brothers and sisters. He just now stood aside and watched. He was a little confused by the snowball. His own sister Xiao Wen smiled so hard that she trembled.
Xiao Zhen, Xiao Bi and Xiao Ying from the third room also smiled and bent her eyebrows.
Xiao An came over and said loudly: "We will form a team to play. Whoever has more snowballs will lose. Those who lose will be punished. How about it?"
Xiao Shu was the most courageous and asked, "How to punish?"
Xiao An thought for a while and smiled treacherously, "How about punishing the most embarrassing thing he has ever done?"
The few children in Xiao’s house are the worst.
Ji Wan shook her head, "How do we eleven people be grouped?"
This is a problem.
Before Xiao An came up with a good way, Ji Wan said, "You guys play, I'll be the referee for you."
"OK."
Xiao Shu was the first to respond.
She was taught in front of the old lady for nearly two months. She has a little bit of a tough attitude, but she is still a little inconsistent with Ji Wan. She is naturally happy that Ji Wan was eliminated by herself.
Xiao An didn't know what his sister was thinking. He glared at her and didn't say anything else.
Xiao Rui, who could not avenge a ball, held the snowball in his hand and looked at Ji Wan who was smiling cunningly. He realized that she did it on purpose.
Ji Wan did it on purpose.
As for children, they should look like children. Xiao Rui is only twelve years old. He looks old every day, like a little old man. It’s so good to learn from Xiao An. He makes trouble when he should make trouble, and when he should make crazy, he makes trouble when he should make trouble. He is a combination of work and rest.
She returned to the eaves and stood, watching them chasing and playing, laughing and joyful.
All the grudges and barriers on weekdays have disappeared.
Xiao An was hit by Xiao Rui several times and was forced to tell him a few embarrassing things, which made the girls laugh without caring about being reserved.
It was noisy, and they went back to sleep only after midnight.
There is no need to go out to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the New Year. Early in the morning, Ji Wan held the account book and started to settle the accounts.
Excluding various costs, the income from the workshop has earned more than 30,000 taels this year. The hot pot restaurant and the snack shop are about 10,000 taels in total.
That's 40,000.
Qi Jiu sent a letter a few years ago, of course, to Lu Feili, but there was a detailed account for her.
Three hot pot restaurants plus one workshop, except for the dividends given to Qi Jiu, the profit was more than 20,000. Qi Jiu suggested that she expand the workshop because the sales of sauce-flavored duck and sausages are in short supply this year. This is understandable. After all, it has been sold for two years and is well-known, so it is time to expand it.
I have to say that the second son of the prefect's family is really a business man.
Ji Wan was very relieved to hand over the expansion to Mr. Qi, who was only responsible for counting the money. Of course, to reward him for his hard work, Ji Wan also specially contributed a few recipes to ensure that his Zuixianju's status in the restaurant world will last forever.
The two "collude" and marched all the way to dominate the catering industry.
New Year greetings begin on the second day of the lunar calendar.
The one who walked the most was naturally the relatives of the Zhou family.
Ji Wan saw Xiao Zhou again.
She had committed suicide by herself, but she had suffered retribution over the years. It was because she felt pitiful, or maybe the old teacher was old and softened, so she took back the order not to go home.
Zhou Changru went to the Liu family in person. Not long after, the Liu family sent two restless concubines. The one who was arrogant because of his favor also calmed down. The little Zhou family regained the majesty of his wife, but that was limited to it.
If her husband is successful, she can benefit from it. If she is not successful, she will stay in that small place to be the prefect, and she will be the wife of the prefect. At most, she will not be angry at her husband's house with the support of her parents.
Therefore, people are doing it and God is watching, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
Xiao Zhou looked at the glory of her parents' family, and looked at her "find" and was afraid that she would not want to come back often for excitement.
After returning from Zhou Mansion, he went to Wei Mansion the next day.
Zhou was not convenient for her to go out with her child, so Ji Wan took her younger brothers and sisters and Xiao Rui brothers to visit the Wei Mansion.
After a circle, one word, tired.
The reason is nothing special. Mrs. Dong, the second wife of Wei, is sarcastic and full of sour water. The three words are inseparable from "money". Strictly speaking, it is Ji Wan's money.
On the left, "Awan is still capable, and she will open a store to make money by herself at such a young age." On the right, "I go to various governments to pay New Year's greetings, and you can see the sausages and bacon you make on the table. I'm afraid I've made a lot of money this month, right?"
Ji Wan had no choice but to say modestly: "My second aunt is too good."
Not to mention how much you have earned.
Dong's family couldn't find out, and looked obviously unhappy, and said, "Awan opened so many shops, is she trying to earn a dowry for herself? Yes, the family of the Duke of Anguo Mansion, you are a high-marriage, so you should pay more dowry."
This is not impressive.
Yan frowned, "The Xiao family is also a noble family, and it is a good marriage with Duke An Guo Mansion. Awan has the talent to do business, and earning industry and adding makeup to her own business is her own ability. If my sister Chan is half smart and capable, I don't have to worry too much."
Wei Chan, a girl from the Wei family, is the same age as Ji Wan, and has already been engaged. She is also in the flower hall at this moment. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "My cousin Wan is skillful, I can't compare with me, so I can only bother my mother to worry more."
Dong's daughter, the second girl, Sister Ping, pursed her lips, "Yes, we only know how to be a female girl at home, not like my cousin, running out every day, seeing the right and wrong we can compare."
