The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

The first New Year in ancient times

sunny

Su He got up full of energy. Before going out, he put a red envelope next to Miaomiao's pillow and prepared new year clothes so that Miaomiao would receive her first pocket money when she woke up. Tietou and Mutou also got a share, 10 cents each.

Shunzi is driving the cart today. Wang Bin had a sleepless night after his family property was split up for unknown reasons yesterday. He just fell asleep and couldn't be woken up even if people called him, let alone drive the cart.

The journey was smooth and Shunzi's driving skills were unexpectedly good, and he arrived half an hour early.

"Uncle, just rest here for a while. I'll be back in about an hour."

Shunzi agreed naively. After Su He settled his cousin down, he started to jog. He ignored everyone he saw passing by and rushed to Cijingyuan with all his might.

Lily who wanted to stop him:........

Sure enough, hope is something you fight for. This time, Su He arrived at the destination smoothly and on time.

"Mother Zhang, Happy New Year. Lotus wishes you a happy new year. Congratulations to Mother Zhang for being one year younger."

Su He slammed on the brakes and stood in front of Zhang's mother, seamlessly starting to say some free sweet words.

After a while, Mother Zhang was coaxed into giving the gold bracelet on her hand to Su He. When she came to her senses, she glared at this flatterer and took her into the house.

Suho won the first battle and collected the spoils to move on to the next step.

"Madam, I am here to wish you a happy new year. I wish your eldest uncle a prosperous career, your second uncle a thriving business, and your third uncle top the imperial examination. I also wish your aunt in the south to be happy and contented. I hope you will have more grandchildren in the new year, so that you can enjoy the happiness of family life."

Chen originally thought that He Hua was going to say something like "May you be blessed as much as the East Sea", but unexpectedly she was praising her own son and daughter, which pleased Chen very much.

After the old man passed away, she began to think about her children, and she felt at ease as long as her children were well.

Chen looked at the lotus below with a gentler expression, "You are so thoughtful, Mother Zhang. I am happy today. This girl is so sweet, give her something as well."

Mother Zhang glanced at Su He and responded with a smile, "Yes, old lady, this girl is sweet-mouthed. She just tricked me into giving her a gold bracelet. I wonder what the old lady wants to reward me with?"

Su He laughed shamelessly, silently saying, "Gold! Gold! Gold!"

"Just give me something practical, A Yuan. Take those gold hairpins that Mudan left over from her wedding."

It’s okay, it’s just the leftovers, as long as it’s gold.

Wait, getting married?

"Madam, is Sister Mudan married?"

Chen was quite satisfied when she talked about her first-class maid, "Yes, she got married yesterday and happened to be spending the New Year at her husband's house."

"Mudan is marrying the youngest son of the head steward as his legal wife. She will also return to the mansion to be the steward's wife in the future. What do you think? Are you envious?"

Mrs. Zhang would tease Su He whenever she had the chance, "The old lady gave us a dowry of 100 taels, and also the finest jewelry."

Su He looked at the two gold hairpins that Mother Zhang brought over and was fascinated for a moment.

One is a magnolia hairpin. The pistil on it is actually a pearl. The two flower buds on the side are carved from Hetian jade. The veins of the leaves can be clearly seen. The craftsmanship of the entire hairpin is very exquisite.

There is also a gold hairpin inlaid with jade and a butterfly flower. The body of the butterfly and the pistil of the flower are inlaid with rubies, which makes the whole look gorgeous and grand.

Even someone like Su He who doesn't wear jewelry likes it.

Seeing that Su He was hesitant, Chen generously gave her everything.

"Look, take all the things that are bothering you. I have no use for what these young people are wearing."

Su He suddenly smiled happily, he became rich.

"Thank you, old lady. I will keep this lotus hairpin as a family heirloom."

As soon as I said this, I would be laughed at by Zhang's mother as usual.

Su He put away her things and started today's massage plan.

An hour later, Su He successfully left Cijingyuan, and rushed all the way to the side door to call Shunzi to leave.

No chance was left for Lily next to him.

The two came to the market. There were not many people today and many shops were closed.

Su He asked Shunzi to see if there were any candied haws or candy figures for sale. If not, they could just buy some maltose.

Then she bought some flour and glutinous rice at the grain store, and smuggled two hundred kilograms of rice into the carriage while Shunzi was not back.

After the two finished shopping, they headed towards home.

Su He did not waste any time on the way. She turned on her computer to look up information and thought about what to plant on her 15 acres of land.

After eating so-called sweet potatoes the day before, she became determined to grow real sweet potatoes.

We also need wheat, so we’ll plant it together.

In order to improve land utilization, she is considering intercropping.

15 acres of land are planted with wheat, corn, soybeans, sweet potatoes, and peanuts.

Peanuts are a good thing. They contain a lot of oil. Not only can they be used to extract oil, but they can also be eaten raw or fried. They can quickly replenish physical strength. In the ancient times when there was a shortage of oil, they were considered a popular nut.

It was rather monotonous to just intercrop peanuts, so she thought that since cotton was so expensive, she still had cotton seeds in her space, so she could plant some for her own use.

All of these require searching for information and studying slowly.

Su He did not waste any of the two hours on the road and copied several sheets of paper before he finished.

I finally got home and the New Year’s Eve dinner is about to begin. We will eat early today. At Su He’s request, we will have dumplings as a midnight snack.

Tietou saw his aunt coming back and came over happily, and Mutou followed closely behind.

"Auntie~, Happy New Year, I found it."

Little Tietou has lost his front teeth, so in order to speak more clearly, he speaks very slowly.

"What did you find?"

Su He looked at Tietou's excited little face and thought it was cute. She kept circling Tietou's head with her hands.

"Just ~Vegetarian~Spicy~Lu~Fa~"

Hot pepper flower!

"Found it! How many are there?"

"There are three of them. They belong to Daya next door. She wanted to give them to us, but we insisted on giving her two candies."

Mu Tou couldn't stand Tie Tou's slow speech, so he added something on the side.

Tietou happily handed over the seeds wrapped in cloth. Su He opened it and saw three seeds.

Su He pinched the boys' cheeks and said, "Well done."

"There's caramel in the carriage. I'll give it to both of you. Remember to share some with Miaomiao. Go!"

The young boys cheered and ran towards the carriage.

Su He smiled and turned to walk towards the kitchen. While no one was paying attention, he sent the seeds into the space and planted them directly.

"Aunt, what are you going to eat later? It smells delicious!"

"Come back, Hehua. Your aunt-in-law brought some meat, braised pig's head and pig's intestines. How do you want to eat it?"

Su He drooled as he looked at the large bowl of tempting braised meat.

"Let's eat it right away. Let's make two stir-fried dishes and stew some pig's trotter soup. Add some wild onions when the trotter soup is ready. Aunt, let's all eat white flour buns today. I bought some flour. We must eat good food on the first day of the new year."

Zhou agreed one by one. The meat and noodles belonged to her niece, so she had the final say on how to eat them.

Su He didn't leave after saying this, but helped in the kitchen.

"Won't my uncle and his family come to eat?"

“Your uncle said he would come tomorrow, so he spent the day at his own home.

"Then let's make some more dumplings tonight and have my cousin take them to my uncle and my grandfather's family as an extra dish."

"Okay, Lotus, what flavor do you want? I'll prepare a cabbage and pork filling."

"Then let's have some pickled vegetables and pork stuffing. Aunt, the pickled vegetables you make are delicious. And some shredded radish and pork stuffing are also delicious."

"Okay, then these three. Go get four Chinese cabbages from the cellar, pick three pickles and cut them up, and I'll chop the meat."

Zhou and Su He were discussing the New Year's Eve dinner together, and they were very harmonious.
