After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 678 An Old Man with Worries

Grandpa Qin picked out the smallest and largest pigs, and for the remaining thirteen New Year pigs, he also selected them in pairs of one large and one small, and did not try to take advantage of the pig dealer Zhu.

Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "It's so cold, it's not easy for you to drive the pigs to sell."

When Zhu the pig dealer and the sheep dealer heard this, their eyes swelled a little... Their two families had been dealers for generations, but most of the people they met were those who wanted to take advantage of them. This was the first time they met a family that cared about them so much.

"Grandpa, we will drive the pigs home for you. We are experienced and can keep the pigs from running around." said Zhu the pig dealer.

"This?" Grandpa Qin said a little embarrassedly, "The shop on the New Street has sheep to raise, and it can no longer accommodate pigs for so many years. My family plans to move them back to the old house in the village to raise them."

There are two wells in the village, which makes it more convenient to slaughter the New Year pig.

"What's the big deal? We'll drive the New Year pig back to the village for you!" Zhu the pig dealer immediately shouted, "Seventh Brother, take Second, Third, and Fourth Brothers to drive the New Year pig back to the ghost village."

"Hey!" After Zhu Laoqi brought the three boys and got ready, he smiled and said to Grandpa Qin, "Please lead the way, Qin family."

Grandpa Qin smiled and let Zhu the pig dealer and the others wait for a quarter of an hour. After he went home and loaded a truckload of soybeans, he drove Zhu Laoqi and the others to the village.

When the Chai, Zhang, Hu, Qian, Sun, and Huang families learned that Grandpa Qin had returned to the village, they immediately came out to greet him and took on the job of raising pigs for the Qin family: "Brother Qin, don't worry, we will definitely raise these fifteen New Year pigs for your family and will never let them lose weight!"

There were women from several of their surnames working in the Qin family workshop, and these New Year pigs were New Year gifts for the female workers, so naturally they had to raise them well.

Grandpa Qin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you this batch of New Year pigs, and I'll pay you when the time comes."

Old man Hu stamped his feet in anger: "Brother Qin, who do you think we are? We are just doing some work for your family, how can we ask for your money? My Hu family doesn't want it, whoever wants it, check your conscience first!"

Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble you to help me kill the New Year pigs. Fifteen New Year pigs are too many. I'll have to pay you some wages."

Grandpa Qin didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so he finally agreed to pay for the work.

Before leaving the village, he reminded them: "The sky is getting darker and darker. It is estimated that it will snow soon. You should take turns to stay on duty. If it snows at night, someone can beat the gong to wake up the villagers."

People freeze to death in the Northeast every year, so we must pay attention to this.

Bang, bang, bang. Old Man Hu patted his chest hard and assured, "Brother Qin, don't worry. We will immediately discuss leaving people on guard. We will not let any villager freeze to death!"

If the villagers freeze to death, the village chief will also be blamed. They can't let anything happen in the village and bring shame to Brother Qin!

Grandpa Qin: "..."

You are old and have escaped famine. Please be gentle when taking pictures and don’t hurt yourself.

After Grandpa Qin finished giving the instructions, he left behind Huang Dou, the pig farmer, and took Qin Eryong and the others away.

Old man Hu was quite a bootlicker and insisted on escorting the boy a mile before returning to the village.

Inside the car, Grandpa Qin couldn't help wiping his cold sweat... It was too enthusiastic, he couldn't handle it.

The Qin family's New Year pig was not raised for long and was slaughtered after three days.

The villagers were very helpful and slaughtered the first batch of five New Year pigs in just one day. They removed the bones and separated the meat, and cleaned the paintings one by one.

Grandpa Qin was very grateful. He paid the workers their wages and cooked two large pots of pig-killing dishes for everyone to enjoy.

After the pork arrived home, Grandma Qin took Aunt Qin and Aunt Qin to start preparing New Year gifts.

"The Lu family, Zhou family, and Song family, rice, flour, meat, sugar cloth, new red candles, and ten kilograms of mutton."

"The annual gifts from Village Chief He, Village Chief Shi, and Village Chief Niu are lower. Just two kilograms of mutton will do."

"Master Han, Master Lu and other officials should follow the Lu family's quota, but they should also add two sets of 24-color pigment powder and five taels of silver for charcoal."

After all, he is a legal advisor and an official, so you should give him some money.

"The county magistrate Kang and the deputy envoy Yu are serious officials. The charcoal tribute will be increased to 15 taels, and they will also be given a set of four treasures of the study...but the food will be reduced by half. It is not appropriate to give officials food that they eat."

Deputy Envoy Yu wanted to say, don’t reduce the food, give us more mutton, our family is not picky!

Mutton in the countryside is 30% cheaper than in the capital. Deputy Envoy Yu placed two large orders with the sheep dealer, but still felt it was not enough and wanted more mutton.

But the sheep dealer's business was so good that he didn't have many sheep left.

Qin Xiaomi was afraid of being called to learn how to prepare New Year gifts, so she was very diligent and hid in the office of the workshop in the other courtyard, and did not go home until dinner time.

Once the New Year gifts started being given at home, they almost never stopped, with a batch having to be sent every two days.

But the Qin family received more New Year gifts, and someone sent New Year gifts to the Qin family every day.

Hua Zongqi and his men are very powerful. If a family comes from a bad family, they will not be able to send any New Year gifts and will be driven away by them.

Guan Shuli took time out of his busy schedule and personally brought a whole cart of New Year gifts to the Qin family.

He also specially sent two pieces of red brocade to make a wedding dress for Qin Xiaogu.

The brocade was golden and colorful, very eye-catching, with pictures of twin lotus flowers on the surface. When the Qin family saw it, they were shocked and remembered what Jiang Xiaozhu said: Madam Guan is the richest woman in the town!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He is indeed very rich.

After paying his respects, the clerk said apologetically, "I am a little late in delivering the New Year gift. I hope Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin will not blame me."

In the first year of engagement, the man's family should send New Year gifts to the woman's family early to show respect... Qin Ying was particularly proactive and sent the New Year gifts to the home of clan leader Lu in mid-October, which made clan leader Lu's family praised by the villagers, who said that Lu's daughter was valued by her future husband's family.

Grandma Qin said, "It's not too late at all. The timing is just right. If you send it too early, some of the gifts that need to be frozen won't be able to be kept."

Besides, the future son-in-law sent brocade, the only brocade in the whole Taifeng Town. No other family can compare to her daughter’s!

Guan Shuli laughed when he was praised.

Grandma Qin was very sensible and allowed him to meet with Aunt Qin alone.

Qin Xiaomi and Jiang Xiaozhu wanted to take a peek.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. Grandma Qin personally watched them and didn't allow them to go to the back house.

Guan Shuli was very sensible and came out in just half a minute. His ears were a little red and the smile on his face was even more intense. In his hand, he was holding two sachets made by Qin Xiaogu. He said that they were prepared by Xun Lao and could calm the mind and help sleep.

She must have seen the dark circles under his eyes and knew that he was not getting enough sleep, so she prepared a sleeping bag for him.

After having lunch at Qin's house, Guan Shuli took the two sachets home. He gave the one embroidered with green pine trees to Old Madam Guan and kept the one with double cranes for himself.

Madam Guan felt something was not right: "The crane is long-lived, so it should be given to me. The man should be the pine tree. Did you give it to the wrong person?"

Guan Shuli: "That's right, the pine tree is evergreen, and the green pine is for you when you grow old."

Shu Jie'er's embroidery skills are excellent, and he has a good eye and can tell that the pair of cranes are a male and a female couple, so he has to keep them.

After putting the sachet under his pillow in his room, the clerk returned to the Lifang Office to continue his work.

Old Madam Guan looked at his joyful back and thought: Should I secretly change the sachet?

However, the old grandson actually locked the door after he got engaged!

However, Madam Guan was very satisfied with her grandson's behavior: "That's good. He is also an old man with a lot on his mind."

Are you worried about something, old man?

Nanny Chen almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
