Chapter 146 Dad Supports You
After the heavy snow, the coldest twelfth lunar month also arrived as promised, and the entire Qingquan Village became cold and frozen.
People wear felt hats and cotton jackets when they travel to resist the cold.
Chen Wanniang and Huo Junan came back from the town to catch a bus, and there were a lot of things in the car.
Chen Wanniang didn't feel cold at all, because she was wearing a fur cloak made of real fox fur, which was warmer than other people's clothing.
Chen Wanniang thought of Huo Junan's fox skin when he really had a long-term vision.
The car stopped all the way to the entrance of the workshop, and smoke was surging inside. It was Old Man Huo who was making meat.
"Dadfather-in-law."
"Oh, my daughter-in-law is back, and this cloak has been taken back. This hair is so smooth and beautiful. I saw those ladies wearing such cloaks in Chang'an City back then." Old Man Huo was very happy to see his daughter-in-law Nuan and himself.
Chen Wanniang himself also likes: "It was done from the tailor who is ambitious. His tailoring work is really good. Most of us are not as exquisite as he does."
"Or they can make money, and you have to be very good at doing this. You must not do it well."
"What my father-in-law said is that we have also made two new clothes for my father-in-law." Chen Wanniang picked up two big bags.
As soon as the bag unfolded, there were brand new robes inside, one was silver-gray and the other was earth-brown.
"We don't know that you like the sex, father-in-law, so we did both."
"You guys are really." Old Man Huo stomped his feet, "It's all done if you do one set. Why do you do two sets? I'm such an old man, who will I wear it for?"
"Pretty for yourself, just be happy."
"What age is that I am? I still see myself. An old man who works, I will wear this new clothes for me. I'd wear dirty clothes. It's better to wear what Jun'an left."
Old Man Huo was dissatisfied with his mouth, but he still touched his hands again and again, "It's so thick, it's a lot of cotton."
Huo Junan smiled and said, "No, our cotton coat belongs to you and Yue'er's thickest. My wife told them that the elderly and children must not be frozen, and they must use the latest and best cotton."
"Haha, alas, I, the old man, didn't expect to be so lucky when I get old." Old man Huo wiped his hands clean and put on his whole body.
"Is it warm? Father-in-law."
"Warm, why can't it be warm?" Old Man Huo tied his clothes and walked around the house. "Hey, I'll take it home now. You guys are here to watch some workshops."
"Hey!" Chen Wanniang agreed crisply.
Old Man Huo has now learned to make meat and has kept the workshop in an orderly manner, and it is very clean everywhere. Rows of smoked sausages are all neatly hung on the ropes, which makes people feel relieved when they look.
Huo Junan suddenly raised his chin and signaled Chen Wanniang to listen to the outside.
I heard the voices of Old Man Huo and Uncle Niu.
"Oh, what are you doing?"
"Just pick up firewood, what are you?"
"I'm working in the workshop."
"Hey, why are you doing this? Why are you still wearing new clothes when you work?"
"Hahaha, you don't know this. This is made by my daughter-in-law for me. Look, it's new inside and outside."
"It's so thick, so warm."
"Oh, warm, it's too warm." Old Man Huo took a breath, "I haven't worn it for a long time and I've been sweating all over. Look, my forehead is full of sweat, I'm afraid I'll get a fever."
Puchi.
Chen Wanniang laughed in the yard and even pointed out Huo Junan, "Go and take care of your father, this is too eye-catching."
"I can't care about him. He should be really happy, just let him be happy."
"Okay, listen to you."
Old Man Huo finished his joy and returned to the yard. He quickly put his old cotton jacket back on his body and said with a stern face: "You two are so luxurious, don't be so luxurious in the future."
"My father-in-law has paid so much, but what's the point of being extravagant? I'm just extravagant." Chen Wanniang said willfully.
"You kid, you have only earned a few dollars. How much money have you spent at home and outside? Be more at ease."
"Dadfather, you don't know, I have saved this number now." Chen Wanniang said in a low voice, raising two fingers and five more.
"Two five, two five eyes?"
"Twenty-five taels."
When he saw Chen Wanniang's mouth shape, Old Man Huo's joy could no longer be suppressed, "Okay, daughter-in-law, this workshop has only been more than two months, and we have made so much money."
"Yes, father-in-law, we are not like before now. We should spend as much as we should. Just tell me whatever you want."
Old Man Huo nodded repeatedly, "Okay, that's great. Your family has become a big family in our village."
"Dad, to be honest, what do you think our family's conditions are like in our village?" Chen Wanniang was also curious.
Old Man Huo made a conclusion, "Let me tell you this, there were only two wealthy families in our village before, one of them was the Lizheng family. They were already rich, and three generations of scholars have emerged. As the Lizheng family, they were eating imperial grain."
Chen Wanniang nodded, "There is another family that is the Liu family."
"Hey, right, the Liu Xigui family in our village is also a wealthy family. Liu Xigui looked good when he was young and married a rich lady from the rich man's family in the town. The family now planted more than 20 acres of land."
"You asked me just now that our family is not comparable to Liu Xigui's family now, but if you continue like this, it will be the same."
Chen Wanniang was also happy when she understood this.
"Dad, don't think so. She is not satisfied. She is dedicated to becoming a rich man."
"Mother, haha, then our family is not enough. What is a rich man? Wu, who sells wood in the town, knows that when his son married his daughter-in-law, he paid 180 taels."
This surprised Chen Wanniang, her mouth was wide open.
"One Hundred and Eighty Tales." Huo Junan murmured, and in surprise, he thought of his agreement with Shen Wanniang.
Since someone has it, his late mother must have it too!
Huo Junan's eyes added a little firmness.
"Dadfather, you think, how can we become such a rich man?"
"What kind of rich man is, I think we are doing well now. We are better than anything else by step."
When Old Man Huo said this, he saw that the pot was starting and he quickly went to get the meat.
Huo Junan also rolled up his sleeves and said, "Wanniang, go back and see Yue'er, I'll help my dad work here for a while."
"Okay, then don't be too tired. We can just hand over the restaurant. I'll go cook!"
Chen Wanniang drove the donkey cart back home.
Huo Junan's kitchen knife was so sharpened that the iron was as pure as mud. The large pieces of pork were cut into pieces in his hand after a few claps.
"Boy." Old Man Huo looked over, "You are so energetic about working, you have an idea in your heart."
"I don't have any idea, I just want to give my wife a betrothal gift of 180 taels."
