Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. He Yuzhu and his family finally came back. They sat at Jiang Feng's house and talked about the situation in the past twenty days at the end of the year. Now it is basically stable. They also have a day off today. Now they are still having dinner at home on New Year's Eve, but they have to go back to work on the second day of the New Year.

During this period at the end of the year, business is pretty good. The four stores make an average of over one hundred to two hundred yuan a day. After deducting the costs of labor, water, electricity and other expenses, we have earned more than five thousand yuan during this period at the end of the year, which is much better than working in an office.

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "It's still a long way to go. We haven't been open for long this year, and most of the people here are still ordinary working class. When more people come to do business, the business will be better. But you have to talk to your uncle and the others about the dishes. You must not mess up the taste, and you must not buy some stale food just to save money."

"Don't worry about that. I have already told everyone, including several chefs, that if they find that a dish is not good, they would rather not cook it or serve it to the guests. We will also launch an investigation. If anyone deliberately buys such a dish, they will be fired."

"That's good. You have a benefit here. Several brothers will check before the food is served. It's best for the people who buy the food to go to the main store and deliver it at the same time every day. You can also check it once. Safety and hygiene are the top priorities. You should also take the time to inspect it."

"No problem. I've also told my father and my master to hang around in the kitchen when they have nothing to do. They are the elders anyway, so they have to accept the lecture."

"Let's do this for now. When the business grows, it won't be like this anymore. The head office will have to assign someone to be in charge of this area. My uncle and his family will also get old. What if they really can't move? We need to establish a system and have someone to do special inspections so that the people below won't dare to fool you."

He Yuzhu nodded and suggested that Jiang Feng's family be invited to spend the New Year over there. Jiang Feng declined, saying that there was a large family over there and it would be inconvenient to bring them over to show off. He said that he would go back to the courtyard over there to celebrate the New Year this year, but all the New Year's goods had to be prepared for me.

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "It's ready. It's all in the store. It's hard for me to get it. You can drive with me. We didn't make it at home this year. We made it all in the store."

Jiang Feng took the key, looked at the time, and told Zhao Xuelin that after finishing here and putting up the Spring Festival couplets, he would be ready to leave, and he would go over there after getting everything. Zhao Xuelin responded.

The two of them went out and called He Xiao, and drove to the store. Jiang Feng was a little surprised that so many things could not be put into the car. He Yuzhu said with a grin: "This pile is yours. I know that there are more people now, so I prepared double. These are mine. I am too lazy to take them. Let's go."

Jiang Feng pointed at He Yuzhu, and the three of them quickly took their things and got into the car. The back of the car and the trunk were full. Jiang Feng asked He Xiao to follow him so they wouldn't have to come back. When they arrived at He Daqing's house, they said a few words to his uncle, as they were all busy during the New Year, so they unloaded their things and drove back.

Pulling He Yuzhu back to the courtyard, Zhao Xuelin and the two children had already packed up and helped to put everything in the car. He Yuzhu was still saying, "Xiaofeng, come back after sending people. You see, it's not convenient for us to walk with two children. I'll wait at home."

"Get lost." Jiang Feng drove away. He Yuzhu put his hands in his pockets, entered the yard, said hello to the third uncle, and strolled into the middle yard. Now Yan Fugui's home is still the same as in the drama, but this time Yu Li invited the two to do business together.

Yan Jiecheng is still working in the factory, but he doesn't have Jiang Feng's courage to resign just like that. This time, Yan Fugui is the major shareholder, but he is still looking for a job. Yan Fugui has been out more often in the past few days, and no one is targeting him outside. He has started to show off his power as the third uncle in the yard, but not many people pay attention to him.

Jiang Feng returned to the yard and moved all the things down first. Then he was urged by Zhao Xuelin to see someone off. Who told you to have a car? After seeing someone off, he had to go pick up Lou Xiao'e. Jiang Feng looked unhappy. Now he became a full-time driver.

Zhao Xuelin helped Jiang Feng straighten his collar and said, "Go quickly and come back soon. Pick up Xiao'e by the way. Be obedient. We will have a few drinks with you tonight. Maybe there will be a chance."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng immediately lost his temper and said in high spirits: "It's okay, I'll go right away. You can look at the dishes at home and make something sumptuous for dinner."

"I know. We still have to make dumplings. Hurry up and be careful on the road."

Jiang Feng went out and got in the car. Thinking about what Zhao Xuelin said, he touched his waist involuntarily. He drove to send He Yuzhu's family first. After arriving at the place, he did not turn off the engine and drove to the yard where the Lou family had sent them. Lou Xiao'e was waiting at home with her two children, and everything was ready.

As soon as Jiang Feng came in, Sisi rushed over to him. Jiang Xiao didn't come back this year and the weather was still too cold. It was time to go to school. Jiang Feng reached out and picked up Sisi, carrying something in his hand, which was some food. Lou Xiaoe followed him out and closed the door. Jiang Feng had already put Sisi in the car.

Jiang Feng took the two of them to the yard. Zhao Xuelin was already preparing dinner. She told Jiang Feng to knead the dough and not to worry about anything else. Zhao Xuelin and Lou Xiao'e both started to get busy. Jiang Shiyan took her younger brothers and sisters in and out to play.

Jiang Feng kneaded the dough in half an hour. Making dumplings was relatively simple, so he took out the window decorations and couplets prepared in the house, called a few children to help, and started working at the front door. It didn't matter if there were many houses, as every room should have one. The red couplets with the word "Fu" upside down made the window decorations look very festive after they were ready.

After everything was done and the door was closed, Jiang Feng took out a few small whips. Several children gathered around him. Jiang Feng wanted to teach them how to dismantle them, but Jiang Weiguo pushed him aside and said, "Leave this small matter to me."

After a while, several people held a stick of incense in their hands, and the sound of firecrackers rang out in the yard. Boys were braver than others. Sisi couldn't light the incense for a long time, so Jiang Feng could only go forward and hold her hand. She wanted to run away before she lit the incense, but Jiang Feng held her there. After he finished lighting the incense, he picked her up and ran away.

Jiang Siying screamed loudly, and after the firecrackers exploded, she pulled her father to take her to light more. The other two didn't need their father to take care of them, and they were having a lot of fun setting off the firecrackers on the side.

When they had finished playing with the games in their hands, a few children surrounded Jiang Feng and wanted to play more. Jiang Feng drove them into the house to warm up and said they could not play outside all the time. After entering the house, Jiang Feng got water for the children to wash their hands and faces. Zhao Xuelin and Lou Xiaoe had already started making dumplings.

Calling a few children to come over to help, they gathered around the table and warmed themselves by the fire. After a while, their faces, which had just been washed, were covered with flour again. Jiang Feng was responsible for taking the wrapped flour out and placing it in the yard, which became a natural refrigerator.

After the dumplings were wrapped, we started cooking. We still divided the work, with two people cooking and one taking care of the child. It took two hours to cook a meal. There were about ten dishes of different sizes, and the soup was already cooked early.

Jiang Feng took out soda from the cellar, one bottle for each person, and put two bottles of Fenjiu on the table, waiting for the meal to start. Zhao Xuelin brought up the last soup, washed her face with Lou Xiaoe, and took off her apron. Jiang Feng and the children had already poured the wine and were waiting.

When the two of them sat at the table, Jiang Feng raised his glass and said, "Come on, Mom and Mommy have worked hard, let's toast to them together."

Several children raised the soda bottles in their hands and called out "Mom" and "Mommy" non-stop. Just like in the drama, when they called Zhao Xuelin they called "Mom" and when they called Lou Xiaoe they called "Mommy", so they could be distinguished.

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Xuelin went to make dumplings. When the dumplings were on the table, the children had almost finished eating, but each of them still ate two. Good things come in pairs. Zhao Lou and the other two didn't eat much either. They were full after eating the dishes, and Jiang Feng filled up the rest. The dumplings went with wine, and the more they drank, the happier they were.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, several children began to pay New Year's greetings. Jiang Feng was impartial and gave each of them a big red envelope, including Jiang Xiao's. He asked Xiao'e to keep it first, and then the women cleaned up. The men continued to play with the children. This time, there were not only firecrackers, but also sky rockets, which they stuck in the snow and set off.

They played until 9 o'clock. It was getting colder outside. Lou Xiao'e invited them to come in, as it was too cold. The children then quieted down and stayed up late. The younger ones sat there nodding their heads, while the adults were relatively nice, eating melon seeds and chatting. Lou Xiao'e talked about some things in the port city. When they could move around normally in the future, they would definitely go over to play.

When they heard the sound of firecrackers outside, they stopped with reluctance. Jiang Feng picked up a large cake of firecrackers, stood a bamboo pole in front of the door, and hung the firecrackers. Jiang Weiguo became excited when he saw it, and came to Jiang Feng and pestered him to light it. The two girls, Zhao Xuelin and Lou Xiao'e, each holding one, were behind the door.

Jiang Feng held Jiang Weiguo in one hand and picked up the fuse of the firecrackers with the other hand. He lit the fuse in Jiang Weiguo's hand, threw it quickly, turned around and ran towards the gate. He heard crackling sounds behind him.

Several people stood at the door, watching the flickering flames outside, without saying a word, until the firecrackers were all set off. The first one to rush out was Jiang Weiguo, who squatted on the ground and picked up more than ten unexploded firecrackers in a short while. The two women looked at Jiang Feng, then walked back holding their daughter.

Jiang Feng went out and brought Jiang Weiguo back, saying, "Stinky boy, who did you learn this from? We still have a whip at home, do you want to pick it up from the ground?"

"Oh, put me down, pick them up quickly, or they won't explode tomorrow. Aren't those in the yard just picked up from the ground for fun? My classmates at school also said that we should pick them up quickly during the New Year, or they will be useless if they get wet."

Jiang Feng put Jiang Weiguo down after entering the courtyard and said, "You don't have to pick up the things at home. Dad will get them for you tomorrow. Go into the house first. Dad will take a look at them. Let mom wash you. It's time to go to bed."

Hearing that there would be more firecrackers tomorrow, Jiang Weiguo put away the firecrackers in his hand and jumped into the house. Jiang Feng arrived at the door and lit a cigarette, listening to the sound of firecrackers one after another. He looked up at the sky, which was all gray and there were no stars. After finishing his cigarette, he looked around, turned around and went into the house and closed the door.

When Jiang Feng arrived at the inner room, several people started to send the children to their rooms. Sisi was still young and lived in one room with her sister, and Jiang Weiguo lived in another room. Jiang Feng sat there, looked at the water in the basin, added some hot water, and sat there to soak his feet.
