On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, heavy snow.

When I woke up, the world was white.

On the roof, in the yard, the village roads, the rolling ridges, each covered with snow.

Pushing open the doors and windows, a stream of clean cold air poured in.

The cold air blows away the dull smell in the room, bringing a hint of coldness in the mountains.

Li Shaoan and Zhao Xuemei walked out of the room together. They slept very heavily last night. When they woke up, Zhao Xuemei hid in the quilt and refused to come out.

Tan Hongxia had already prepared breakfast for the whole family.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Today, Tan Hongxia must prepare the sumptuous food tomorrow. All bacon and fish should be washed and cut.

"Sister-in-law, let me help you if you want to do something later."

Zhao Xuemei volunteered to come to the Li family for many days. She was treated like a golden branch and jade leaf every day, and she never let her touch housework, which made her feel very embarrassed.

Seeing that Zhao Xuemei was eager to try, Tan Hongxia was a little unkind when she stopped her, so she agreed to let Zhao Xuemei come to help.

"How about this. I'll make some glutinous rice meatballs later. You can help me chop the ingredients."

"Okay, I'm doing this."

Zhao Xuemei stayed to work with Tan Hongxia, while Li Shaoan went to the Qian family next to the Li family.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, according to the custom of Tieshanwan, the year will soon pass, and the accounts of the old year cannot be left for the new year, so all the money-related matters that should be settled in this year must be settled.

When I came outside the Qian family's yard, I happened to see Qian Xiaoyu sanitation in the yard.

Li Shaoan waved at Qian Xiaoyu. Qian Xiaoyu noticed Li Shaoan at the gate and immediately ran out with a smile.

"Brother Shaoan, you're here."

"You are the only one at home, where are the others?" Li Shaoan asked more.

"It's gone, my sister is in the room, and my mother goes to the village committee to buy meat."

"How is your sister's recent situation?"

"It's all over, and it's pretty good now."

Qian Xiaoyu came to Li Shaoan and said seriously: "I tell you, didn't a surveying team come to our village to measure the canal last time? As a result, a young man from the surveying team fell in love with my sister. Since then, he has come to our village after finding an opportunity. In just a few months, he has been here three times."

"What about your sister to that person?"

"I didn't refuse or agree, but it didn't seem annoying. I just kept him at home for a meal in the last time."

After the two of them talked, Li Shaoan felt much more at ease. It seemed that Qian Xiaolin had gradually come out of the previous events.

It happened that Zhang Hong bought meat from the village committee at this time, carrying two pieces of fresh pork belly in her hand.

When she saw Li Shaoan at the door, Zhang Hong, the "mother-in-law" was somewhat embarrassed. She used to treat Li Shaoan as her future son-in-law, but she didn't expect that the two of them could not get together later.

However, Zhang Hong did not hate Li Shaoan. If the children's affairs could be together, they would be together. If they could not be together, they could only let things go.

"Shao'an, go in and sit down." Zhang Hong tried to keep a calm smile on her face.

"No, I'll say a few words to Xiaoyu here." Li Shaoan thanked Zhang Hong's invitation.

"Okay, you two are talking here, I'll go in first." Zhang Hong did not force it. Li Shaoan was unwilling to go into the house and sit there. Everything was with him. She understood Li Shaoan might feel embarrassed.

"Brother Shaoan, why don't you wait for me at the door and I'll go to my mother's place to bring the money for selling wood." Qian Xiaoyu explained: "My mother said I was too young and couldn't hold too much money in my hand, so I managed the money for the wood business."

Li Shaoan nodded and said, "This is also a good thing. Your mother will help you with it so that you won't be in trouble outside."

Qian Xiaoyu went in for about half an hour, then walked out with a black cloth bag.

Li Shaoan was quite surprised when he saw the heavy cloth bag.

"Xiao Yu, are these earned by selling wood?"

"Hehe, later I negotiated cooperation with several other furniture factory owners in the county. Their business has reached all over the country, and there is a huge demand for wood, almost three trucks of wood a week."

"With such a huge demand, can wood?"

"If you don't have enough, hire someone to cut the mountain. Tieshan Bay is full of mountains within a hundred miles. The most flaw is wood. It can't be cut in ten years. After cutting one mountain, you don't have to worry about not having firewood."

Li Shaoan sighed secretly that he was a hero and a boy. Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaoyu is still capable and can coordinate all these things. It is indeed a very correct arrangement to hand over the forest farm to him to take care of.

When he came back from outside, Li Shaoan entered the room.

All the money recovered from outside during this period was piled up together: Zhang Jie sold stockings together, Ma Hui ran a convenience store, the revenue of the rice noodle factory, and the money for selling wood that he just got from Qian Xiaoyu.

Zhang Jie and Ma Hui are all small heads, and the total amount is only about 200 yuan.

Although the rice noodle factory is operating in a miserable way, it is a factory after all. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and its net income is more than 400.

However, Qian Xiaoyu's money here surprised Li Shaoan. It was more than 1,200 yuan. According to Qian Xiaoyu, he had already taken all his share, and the rest were all from Li Shaoan.

Just as he was counting, the door was pushed open, Zhao Xuemei walked in.

"Are you finished your business?" Li Shaoan asked with his head raised.

"Well, I haven't worked so hard for a long time." Zhao Xuemei pulled the messy hair on her forehead. When she saw Li Shaoan sitting on the bed counting money, she said in surprise: "Where did you get such money?"

Zhao Xuemei closed the door, inserted the wooden bolt, and then came to the bedside.

Li Shaoan pulled Zhao Xuemei down and sat down: "There are 1,800 here, which is a convenience store, rice noodle factory and forest farm, which is much more than I imagined."

Zhao Xuemei smiled and said gently: "You must know that you have only graduated from school for one year. It is already outstanding to have the current results in just one year."

Li Shaoan's face turned red, unable to withstand praise, and said, "Many times, I feel like I'm just feeling the stones across the river and making trouble, and I don't know if the path I'm taking is right."

Zhao Xuemei said: "At least, now, there is no problem with the path you are taking. I think your planting base will definitely make great achievements in the future."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot if you didn't say it. I didn't go to the planting base. I have to go and discuss the base with Xiangxiu in a while."

Li Shaoan patted his forehead and always felt that he had forgotten something, but he just couldn't remember it. After Zhao Xuemei reminded me, he finally remembered it.

There is another important part, that is, the planting base.

After counting the money in his hand, Li Shaoan took out two hundred. The two hundred were lent to Li Shaoan during the last time his home was renovated.

Now that Li Shaoan has the funds on hand, he is thinking about returning the money to Chen Chunlan.
