Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"Really?"

Lin Jing looked at Xu Wanning quietly: "When have I ever lied to you, Aning? You know, I will never lie to you."

Perhaps Lin An's words comforted Xu Wanning, and she was in a good mood at this time, "Okay, I'll leave it to you to find people in the village to buy firewood. Buy as much as you can. My family has never been to Heilongjiang Province, so I probably won't be able to bear it. It’s cold here, so we keep the fire burning brightly every day so they won’t get sick easily.”

"When buying firewood, don't keep the price too low. Even if you buy a house full of firewood, we will only have an extra ten or twenty yuan at best, but the villagers can earn a few cents more during the New Year. I can buy an extra meal of meat.”

Only during the Chinese New Year, there is no restriction on meat tickets and you can buy more meat.

But every household is not rich, and even if there is no restriction on meat stamps, everyone cannot spend too much money to buy meat.

"Okay, I'll listen to Aning. I'll buy firewood first while it's still dark."

"Ask Maoning to go with you."

My younger brother is just for bossing around.

As soon as Xu Wanning finished telling Xu Maoning about asking him to go collect firewood with her, all the brothers stood up.

"Let's go along."

"No, no, please sit down quickly and let my brother and Maoning go with Lin An."

"Aning, aren't we your brothers? Why do you still treat us differently?"

"That's right, only Mao Yan and Mao Ning were asked to go, and they didn't take our brothers seriously at all!"

Listening to everyone's words, Xu Wanning explained helplessly: "My brother has been training under difficult conditions all year round. The cold weather is barely bearable for him, but the other brothers either work in offices or hold scalpels. , I’m really afraid you’ll freeze.”

"Then I should be allowed to go with him. What does it mean to let Mao Ning go with him? Can he beat me or outrun me?" Lin Maoqing snorted coldly and said to Xu Maoning: "Sit down obediently, Mao Yan and I will Lin An went to collect firewood."

Xu Wanning felt deeply helpless.

She thought that her brothers would be fine once they got married, but she didn't expect that they hadn't seen each other for a while, and her sisters-in-law were all sitting next to them, but they were still as childish as before.

But Lin Maoqing was right. Although he was not from the military, he was still a big leader. The training he had received was no worse than Xu Maoyan and Lin An.

Only the three of them can be slightly stronger.

"Aning, come and sit."

Xu Huajing patted the empty seat beside her, and after Xu Wanning sat down, she asked: "As a big family, we ran over without even saying hello, will it embarrass you?" ?”

"No, just thinking that I can spend a reunion year with my family this year makes me very happy."

When Mrs. Lin mentioned that she would go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, Xu Wanning felt that no matter where she celebrated the New Year, it would be the same no matter who she celebrated with.

But after Xu's mother arrived, Xu Wanning suddenly realized that she was looking forward to celebrating the New Year with her family.

Probably, this is the feeling engraved in the bones of Chinese people. A family must be neat and tidy.

But before, the small family of five she and her parents and brothers had turned into a big family with an eldest uncle, two uncles and an aunt.

Of course, apart from not being able to travel long distances because of pregnancy, and having to accompany my wife’s second brother and sister-in-law.

The other Xu family members and Lin family members were all intact.

Xu Wanning announced that this year's Chinese New Year will be the happiest and happiest year in her life.

"Then your mother-in-law's side..."

"Aning, the meal is ready. Hurry up and invite everyone to eat."

Mother Lin's loud voice came from the kitchen.

Xu Wanning shrugged: "Look, my mother went to the kitchen to cook as soon as you came. She was more thoughtful than me, which means she really welcomes you."

At the dinner table, Mother Lin said with some embarrassment: "We are in such a hurry that we don't have time to make delicious food, so I made pork stewed vermicelli, a special dish of our Heilongjiang province, and steamed some rice. Don't mind it, wait till tomorrow." , I will definitely make a big table of delicious food to entertain everyone."

"My mother-in-law, you are so polite. This is already very good."

"We didn't even tell you that we were here, and we just came here suddenly. It's really embarrassing."

"Hey, what's the matter? We are all a family, so don't say those polite words. Come eat quickly and fill your stomach with something hot."

Xu's mother had already followed the local customs, wearing a big cotton-padded jacket, holding a spoon to serve everyone rice, and she even covered the rice with braised pork vermicelli.

"It just has to be eaten this way to make it delicious. Try it. My mother-in-law is very good at making this dish. I've been here for a long time and I eat like this every day without getting tired of it."

"Don't tell me, it's really delicious. I came to Black Province when I was young. I ate a few pork stewed vermicelli and I couldn't forget the taste. But after all these years, I have never tasted the authentic taste again. , this is the taste, delicious."

"If it's delicious, eat more of it. There are also dried potatoes and dried beans in it, which you can't get in Beijing."

Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal and not complaining about the bad food, Mother Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tsuenquan, go to the village and ask who has newly made cotton-padded jackets. They must be arranged for An-Ning's aunt and sister-in-law, otherwise they will freeze in this cold weather."

Xu Wanning said: "Mom, every household in the village is not rich. To buy cloth, you need cloth stamps, and to buy cotton, you need cotton stamps. It was not easy to dress my mother up last time."

"I do have some cloth and cotton here, which is enough to make a few cotton clothes. I'll just ask some aunts who are good at making clothes to help me make a few clothes later."

Mother Lin would definitely have no problem doing one or two clothes on her own, but with more than ten or twenty people in the Xu family, she simply couldn't do it.

So I had to ask the aunts in the village for help. They would get the fabric and cotton themselves, and everyone would just have to pay a little more for the craftsmanship.

At this time, Lin An also took Xu Maoyan and Lin Maoqing to find the captain and explained his purpose.

"Do you need to buy so much firewood?"

"Yes, Aning's family has come to Dajiang Village to celebrate the New Year, so all five kangs in the house have to be burned, which means more firewood is used. I will give you two cents for a bundle of firewood. Whoever has more can do it. Sell ​​it to me."

Two cents is already a sky-high price.

You know, before the mountain was closed, firewood was taken to the town and sold. Sometimes three bundles of firewood could be sold for only a dime.

"Anzi, this price is a bit too high. Just pay a dime a bundle."
