Chapter 472: Preparations before the New Year

During this year, with everyone's encouragement and help, Chen Nan finally got in touch with his legendary father through letters.

Feelings are created through communication. If there is no contact for a long time, even if it is your biological child, you will gradually lose interest in them and stop caring about them.

Fortunately, the effect was good. Chen Nan's biological father, Chen Zhanbei, finally started to care about his son and even knew to send some specialties and supplies from the northwest back to the child.

They also sent back some gemstone and jade trinkets for Chen Nan and the others to play with, and of course Changle's were not missing.

After being kept by the two children, Shen Ruyi joked: "While you are still young, save up some money for yourself. Otherwise, you won't be able to afford a wife when you grow up. No one wants to marry a poor man. Also, if you want to marry a pretty wife, you need to study harder and practice martial arts more, and save more money and money. Do you understand?"

Changle asked: "Don't we have money at home?"

"We have money at home, but that money was earned by me, sister Manju, and sisters Yiren. It belongs to us. You two have to earn your own money, otherwise you won't have beautiful wives to play with you."

The two thought about it and it seemed to be the case. They really had not made any money.

Especially Chen Nan was so frightened that he actually believed it. Changle was not easy to fool now, so he only believed half of it.

Later, the two men privately asked the master how they could earn money and save more for themselves to marry beautiful wives in the future.

Mr. Wang was almost amused to death. At first he thought Shen Ruyi was just joking.

Later, after learning of Shen Ruyi's good intentions, the old gentleman would occasionally talk about some people's livelihood issues and livelihood problems in class, and would also teach them how to keep accounts and sort out the various materials and resources in their hands.

The old man also figured it out. Before making children successful, the first thing they should be taught is the ability to survive and make a living, rather than just studying hard.

Shen Ruyi even talked it over with her grandparents, and then several people in the family cooperated and asked everyone to help the two children learn these basic knowledge whenever they had time.

Chen Nan began his daily routine of saving his belongings. Whenever any supplies were sent from their mansion, Chen Nan would screen them first. Sometimes, if he was not satisfied, he would tell the sender to send something valuable.

Shen Ruyi had her own ideas for saying this. She had previously asked the General's wife about this and knew that the dowry of Chen Nan's biological mother was currently in the hands of the wife.

This child must be allowed to grow up as quickly as possible and hold his mother's dowry in his own hands.

At present, the eldest lady looked pretty good, but how many people could resist the temptation of such a huge sum of money? It wasn't that she didn't trust the eldest lady's character, but that she didn't trust human nature.

The eldest lady of their house came over several times and saw that Chen Nan was becoming more and more normal, and she was very happy.

Sometimes she would also send some valuable things over. She knew Shen Ruyi didn't lack that little money, and she wouldn't be greedy for the child.

What's more, the dowry of the child's biological mother is currently in her hands. It originally fell into the hands of Chen Nan's stepmother, who embezzled a lot of it. Later, the incident of deliberately selling the child caused too much trouble, and the clan suggested that several parties come forward together to make up for the shortfall.

The business is going well at the moment, and when the child is older, I can hand the business over to him.

Madam Yinzi also loves him, but she still has a bottom line in her heart.

Besides, she was the head of the family, so she had no reason to covet such wealth. If there was a day when the family was divided, their eldest wife would get the lion's share.

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Nan was taken away by the eldest lady. He was still crying when he left. Shen Ruyi and others repeatedly promised that they would bring him back after the New Year. Only then did the child leave with peace of mind.

Of course, the people who accompanied them back were specially selected. Linglan was asked to assign two maidservants to serve them, and she also asked Nanny Li to accompany Chen Nan back to the mansion to stay for a few days and find out about the various people in the mansion. She had to have a clear idea of ​​what was going on, so four guards were sent out directly.

Shen Ruyi also sent a message to Wangyou in advance, asking their people to pay more attention to the general's mansion during the New Year holidays.

Children raised at home must be protected.

Of course, they also took food with them. They packed a lot of dried fruits, braised meat, meat floss, dried meat, vegetables, etc. for Chen Nan, as well as a lot of chicken, duck, fish and meat. They were afraid that he would not be used to it after returning home, and it would be bad for him to be hungry.

Fortunately, Chen Nan is a very well-behaved child now. He can do many things on his own. We just need to make sure his personal safety is safe.

After Chen Nan left, Changle was listless for the whole day, but then he slowly got better. Maybe he felt uncomfortable with the sudden absence of someone around him.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was time for grandma and grandpa to go back. Li Chengxuan and the others had come to urge them several times. Changle was particularly reluctant to let them go, so Shen Ruyi asked Changle to go with them, planning to bring them back on New Year's Eve.

After seeing these people off, the house suddenly felt a lot emptier, which was a bit strange. However, no one had time to think about other things and they quickly started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

Everything that could be prepared in advance was prepared in advance, and Mr. Wang moved back to the yard where he lived during the Spring Festival last year.

We will still spend the New Year in this small courtyard. It is time to hang up the red lanterns, write the couplets in advance, and cut the window decorations.

Everyone was busy with their respective duties. Manju was checking the various expenses of food, clothing and other expenses in the mansion.

Yiren was in charge of tasting the food and occasionally giving instructions. Although she couldn't cook, she loved reading recipes. After reading so many, she now had a lot of experience in eating.

These days, the nanny used a sewing machine to make festive New Year clothes for each family member, saying that this would make the New Year more festive.

This year, the clothing workshop run by Mammy earned tens of thousands of taels of silver, and her craftsmanship in making clothes has reached a new level, which is really amazing.

Shen Ruyi was responsible for walking around the mansion to check if there were any other safety hazards. Fortunately, everything was fine, so she walked around to check, otherwise she would be worried.

The rewards and various welfare benefits for the people in the mansion had been distributed one by one in the past few days.

The vegetables in the greenhouse are ready to eat. The strawberries have turned red in the past two days and will be ready to be picked and eaten in two days. With last year's experience, the management of the greenhouse is very easy this year.

Daily care is like playing, very easy.
