Chapter 128 Yes, He is
Fang Cuihua meant that the two elderly people at home had been waiting for a long time, so there was no need to say anything and just eat first. Besides, these people had come back from such a long distance and must be tired.
The meal on festival nights was obviously much more sumptuous than usual. In addition to stir-fried seasonal vegetables, there were two meat dishes on the table, one was stewed cured rabbit, and the other was the pheasant that Dashun had brought back.
Second Aunt put some mushrooms into the stewed chicken. The aroma was so fragrant that tears flowed from the corners of Guangdan's mouth.
In addition, there are red bean and mung bean rice dumplings made by grandma, Fang Cuihua and Erya during the day. It’s the Dragon Boat Festival, so rice dumplings are a must!
"Oh, second brother and sister-in-law are doing good business today! Look, all the fish balls are sold out and we don't even have any to eat at home!" Lin Xiaoniu said happily while holding a bowl of mixed grain rice.
The second aunt pursed her lips and smiled slightly, somewhat embarrassedly. Her face was half tired and half happy, and there was also a hint of alertness.
My husband and I have finally gotten the job of selling fish balls, we can’t let anyone else snatch it away!
Lin Erniu was more direct. He put the bowl back on the table and said with a smile, "Well, business is good today. I feel like I didn't prepare enough. I'm thinking about selling this more often in the future, hehe."
The last few chuckles were quite interesting. After all, Guangdan saw that his second uncle was obviously talking to grandfather.
But the old man didn't answer, instead he coughed and said, "Let's eat first, and then we can talk about today's situation together. At worst, we can get up later tomorrow."
After saying this, he started eating without paying any attention to the different expressions on the faces of his family members at the table.
First, have a spoonful of cured rabbit with eggs, then a spoonful of mushroom stewed chicken, the whole thing tastes delicious!
Looking at the black multi-grain rice in the bowl, he felt tears welling up in his eyes for some reason, and he felt as if he was almost full!!!
It would be great if I could eat and not drink black food every day!! Who else can be as humble as him when traveling through time!!
The only sound on the table during the meal was the sound of slurping. It could really be described as a race against time.
What made Guangdan most satisfied was not today's food, but Erya and Xiaogu's attitude towards eating.
I remember when he became a bald man last year, both my little aunt and Erya were very cautious when eating. They ate less rice and less vegetables, as if eating a little more would be a sin!
Although grandma is still like this now, the younger girls have finally gotten rid of their previous image after being brainwashed by Guangdan's encouragement and brainwashing by adding more dishes every day.
Look at Erya, how quickly her chopsticks put a piece of chicken into her bowl, and her grandmother was standing next to her with a look of hidden anger!
The old lady just opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. It would be better if she didn't disturb the atmosphere during the holidays.
Guangdan smiled and put two pieces of chicken into grandma's bowl. Now the old lady was busy again, giving Goudan one piece and Gou Mao one piece...
After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Erya and Taohua stayed in the kitchen to wash the dishes, while everyone else gathered in the main room.
"The second brother and his wife came back early, and we already know the situation. We have sold all the fish balls we prepared, and we have earned more than one tael of silver today, which we have already handed over to the government. How are you today, eldest brother?"
After the old man finished speaking, he coughed a few more times, then turned around and glanced at Guangdan deliberately.
Lin Daniu briefly recounted the gains from his stall in the county, as well as his sales of orchids and orders for dogtail brushes.
The chattering sounds in the room suddenly quieted down. Guangdan obviously felt the shocked looks from everyone and scratched his head uncomfortably.
"I got the orchid by chance. Today's biggest gain is actually the order for my eldest brother's brush. This is a safe business. And the cloth we bought from the county town, if we manage it well, we can make a lot of money!"
Guangdan's words attracted everyone's attention again. Grandma couldn't help asking first: "What kind of cloth?"
As expected, fabrics and other things are of greater interest to the women in the family.
Lin Daniu took over the conversation and explained in detail the matter of buying the cloth at a low price. After all, it cost a lot of money!
He took over the conversation and thought that if his parents had any objections, they could blame themselves, but he couldn't say that it was Guangdan who came up with this idea.
In fact, he really underestimated Guangdan's position in the old man's heart, because as soon as he said it, the old man knew that it was Guangdan who came up with it.
If his eldest son had this kind of brains, he would have stopped farming at home long ago, right?
How could my own son not understand?
"Okay, let's check the cloth tomorrow morning. It's dark now, don't light the lamp or it will catch fire..."
The old man made a simple calculation and found that the family’s income today is actually quite a lot, basically equal to the total of the previous few years!
The half of the eggs that were handed over was eighteen taels, plus the income of Lin Er and his wife, as well as that of Lin Daniu and Lin Xiaoniu, the total was more than twenty-two taels. But in reality, not that much was left in the hands of the old man.
Because Lin Daniu counted all the money he earned from buying things in the county town into the public treasury, including cloth of course, but this was still more than ten taels of income.
Grandpa was so happy that his mustache stood up!
"Although our family has made some money, don't complain about it outside. There are countless people in our village who are better off than us. Don't forget your own name just because you made some money. Besides, the combined earnings of all of you are not as much as I am!"
The old man said a few words in time and got a well-behaved smile from Guangdan.
Seeing his grandson like this, the old man scolded everyone again, and then said slowly:
"I was originally thinking of taking it slow, but now it seems that Xiao Niu can find a husband. There is still some time before the double harvest, so you brothers should dig more foundations during this time. It would be best if you could build a few more houses in the second half of the year. Our house is not big enough for us."
The earth foundation is made of bricks piled up with loess. Most houses at that time were like this. Of course, if you have money, you can use blue bricks, but the Lin family cannot afford it at the moment.
When Lin Xiaoniu was mentioned about marriage, he became excited. What? You said you were shy? It's just marrying a wife, why should I be shy?
Guangdan felt ashamed to look at it, this is a conspicuous bag!
You are just that old, why are you busy getting married? Isn’t it better to make money? ? ? ?
Lin Xiaoniu: What's the point of making money if you don't marry a wife? Isn't the purpose of making money to marry a wife?
Guangdan: Oh no, I suspect my uncle is in love!!!
(Author: Yes, he is. But his future daughter-in-law is a career-minded one, hahahahahahaha.)
