Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

The waiter smiled and said, "Okay! Please wait a moment."

Just as An Yue was about to go to the counter, she suddenly remembered that there were peanuts and flour in the shop.

These two things are good things and are indispensable for the Chinese New Year. I guess there is no need to send fish to the restaurant in the near future. There are still quite a few fish of all sizes left in the water tank in the yard.

Buy some flour, clean the fish, coat it with flour, and fry it in oil. Wouldn’t it be crispy and delicious?

Small fish can be made into crispy fish, and big fish can be made into a simple version of grilled fish. In this way, the New Year will not be too miserable. After all, fish makes the New Year more festive!

However, the flour is quite expensive, costing 18 wen silver per pound, and peanuts are also 20 wen silver per pound.

An Yue thought, since she had already bought five kilograms of rice, three or five kilograms of peanut flour wouldn't make a difference.

Then, she pointed at the peanuts and flour and said to the waiter, "Give me three pounds of peanuts and five pounds of flour."

"Okay, I'll weigh you right away."

Only then did An Yue walk to the counter.

The shopkeeper said, "Miss, the total is one tael and fifty coins."

An Yue calmly handed the shopkeeper one tael and fifty coins.

At this time, Jiang Chenghai saw that An Yue seemed to have bought a lot of things, so he hurried to the door of the shop and took the things from the clerk.

An Yue was still mumbling to herself, "No need to buy salt. There is still a lot of salt left from the last purchase. There may also be enough lard for the family."

Walking towards the town entrance, An Yue remembered that she had not bought any snacks for An Nian yet.

So, he bought another twenty cents' worth of rice cakes and candy figurines from a street shop.

Now that I have finally bought all the New Year's goods, I am ready to go to the town entrance to meet my grandfather.

An Yue kept buying things along the way and only then realized that it was already 9:00 in the morning.

An Yue said, "Uncle, let's go quickly, grandpa must be waiting anxiously at the entrance of town!"

"It's okay, it's okay. He knows that many people are buying New Year's goods. He is probably taking a nap right now!"

Uncle Jiang Chenghai carried the wooden stick with the lantern on it on his shoulder and two bags of rice and flour in his other hand. An Yue held couplets and firecrackers and walked through the main street.

After turning a corner and arriving at the entrance of the town, I saw my grandfather taking a nap leaning on the ox cart from afar.

An Yue shouted loudly: "Grandfather! Grandfather!"

Grandfather didn't hear it until the uncle and nephew walked to the ox cart. Then he opened his eyes and said, "You're back? You bought everything! It's so festive to hang up this big lantern!"

An Yue smiled and nodded, the two dimples on the corners of her mouth looked particularly playful.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren drove the ox cart home. Since it was the last big market day of the New Year, the grandfather met many acquaintances along the way.

To the outside of the yard gate.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai shouted at the top of his voice: "Mom, we are back!"

When my grandmother heard the noise, she ran out to help move things.

An Nian looked at the two big red lanterns, the couplets, and the rice cakes and sugar figures he had been longing for.

He held a candy figurine in his hand and ran in circles in the yard, shouting, "New Year! New Year!"

When Wei heard An Nian so excited outside, she also slowly walked out of the house.

She had been bedridden for many days and I rarely saw her on weekdays. When she suddenly walked out of the room, I found that her lower abdomen was slightly bulging.

After everything was put away, the family sat in the main room and drank some tea. An Yue suddenly remembered that the villagers might come to exchange silver in the afternoon.

So she quickly said to her uncle Jiang Chenghai: "Uncle, we almost forgot, you run fast, go and inform the villagers not to fish first."

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this."

After saying that, he ran towards the gate of the yard in a hurry.

Grandma smiled and said, "You guys take a rest first. I'll go to the kitchen to make lunch."

An Nian ate the candy man and said, "Grandma, wait for Nian Nian, Nian Nian will also go to help."

"Okay, okay, our Niannian is really a good child." Grandma took An Nian's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

An Yue got up early in the morning and spent the whole day shopping for New Year's goods on the street. After walking all the way back, she now looked a little sleepy.

She yawned, stood up and walked towards the kitchen, thinking about making lunch together. She should hurry up and finish it so that she could take a nap after eating.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren quickly prepared lunch and went to the main house in twos and threes, carrying the food.

The family sat down to eat lunch. Grandfather smiled and said, "At this age, this is the first time I feel that Chinese New Year is really good!"

Grandma lowered her head and whispered to Anyue and Annian: "Your grandfather laughs like a little kid."

The brother and sister covered their mouths and smiled and nodded.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it, saying: "This year is good! We don't have to worry about food and clothing during the New Year. This is what it means to celebrate the New Year!"

Grandma laughed and said, "It's all thanks to Yueyue that we can have an unprecedentedly lively New Year."

An Yue, who was concentrating on eating, slowly raised her head, squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Hehe... This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

After saying that, she buried her head in eating again.

At this moment, An Yue couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "No matter what era it is, without money, everything will be difficult."

"Well... Of course, money may not be everything, but without money, nothing can be done."

Grandfather smiled and said to everyone, "Everyone has been busy for a year. Tomorrow we will dust off the house and prepare for the New Year!"

An Nian asked curiously, "What does dusting mean?"

Grandmother kindly explained to An Nian: "Dusting means sweeping the house inside and out, washing and drying the clothes that need to be washed, and then preparing to welcome the new year."

After hearing this, An Nian narrowed his eyes and smiled, as if he understood, and said casually: "Then we should welcome the New Year every year."

Grandma rubbed An Nian's little face, then looked up and said to everyone, "Don't dare to rest! There is not much firewood at home. In the afternoon, our family has to go to the mountain to chop some firewood and store it."

Wei nodded and said, "The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and we need to save some firewood at home. It's a pity that Wan'er can't go to the mountain with everyone."

Sure enough, as soon as the atmosphere terminator appeared, the table suddenly fell silent.

The family was originally having a happy meal, but now the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai looked at everyone in silence and quickly resolved the awkwardness. He patted his chest and said with a smile, "Mom, let's go up the mountain in the afternoon. You guys can chop wood and I'll carry it back home."

Living in this era, chopping firewood is really a hassle. If we can solve this problem well, we will definitely be a great contributor to the development of the times.

Grandma nodded and continued, "After lunch, lie down at home for a while, then we'll set off."

After the family finished their meal, they washed the dishes and went back to the house to rest.
