My whole family is dancing

Mrs. Wang came out of Landlord Zhang's house happily, returned to the village all the way, and smiled when she entered Baijia's door, "It will be a good day in three days, and you can go to get married."

Mrs. Li thanked her, and Mrs. Wang happily sat in front of Mrs. Li, talking about how good Zhang Xianyu is, how capable, how beautiful, and how lucky the calamus is. Mrs. Li helped her prepare for her engagement.

Mrs. Wang felt that it was a matter of great honor to accomplish this marriage today. If the hundred families wanted to keep her for dinner, they agreed with a smile. The village head was also invited. Now the relationship between the two families has taken another step .

In the afternoon, Baili Changding's furniture was also delivered, and the family was busy furnishing the new house. Baifuer and Baiguoer also went to watch the fun, and by the way, they took Baihuaer, who didn't like going out more and more, together.

The new house is spacious and bright. As the only girl in the family, Bai Duo'er has a separate bedroom. In addition to the bed and cabinet, she also got a desk with drawers. She happily talked with the sisters.

"My father said that I'm afraid this new house won't live for many years. When the time comes, I'll build a big tile house with brick walls and tiles if I earn money. That's the style."

Bai Guoer happily agreed, "My father said the same thing. My mother said that wooden houses are also good, and they can also be carved. My father laughed at her, she really dared to think, and said that the wooden houses of real rich people are worth a lot. The carpenter's craftsmanship is expensive, compared to buying green bricks, it is cheap."

Bai Duoer said that the house she saw when she went to Fucheng again was beautiful, "The wood looks thick, and the window decorations are very beautiful. My grandfather said that the house should be equipped with a large bluestone floor. , polished very smooth, and rich people have to lay thick blankets on it, and those blankets are extremely expensive, and only very rich people can afford them.”

Bai Guoer was surprised, her eyes widened, "You must have servants to take care of you if you live in a house like that?"

Bai Duo'er laughed with a 'puchi', "Could it be that you think you have to do the work yourself?"

Talking and pulling Bai Guoer, "If you are a girl from a rich family, you have to have several people to serve you. There are maids and rough women. You don't have to do anything, just dress up and enjoy flowers all day long." That’s it, you don’t need to comb your hair, wash your face, or put on your own clothes.”

Bai Guo'er said that she really couldn't imagine that scene, and finally she could only say, "That's what happens to the kids in our village who can't walk."

Bai Duo'er and Bai Fu'er leaned forward and back while laughing, and Bai Hua'er also laughed together.

When Bailihui came over, he heard the sisters laughing happily. Bailichang ran over cheerfully, saying that everything was arranged, and they would move the next day after Baichangpu got engaged, thinking about giving the house to him. It's time for Baijiaopu's new house to be furnished.

Bailihui didn't pretend to keep him either, the golden nest and the silver nest were not as good as his dog's nest, not to mention that it was a new nest, the whole family probably wanted to move in a long time ago.

"Living in a new house is a great event, can we do it?"

Bailichang nodded cheerfully, "Do it, why don't you do it, this will announce that I am officially back."

Bailihui nodded, "If you don't do it, I will let you do it."

"Let me ask you something, so you still have the ability to make joss paper money that Dad taught you?"

Bai Lichang rubbed his hands, "I haven't done it in the years since I left here, but I still remember how to do it, and it's not too difficult."

Thinking that his brother came here for tomorrow's celebration altar, he hurriedly said, "I can't make it tomorrow, and it will take dozens of days to make paper money, you know."

Bailihui glanced at him angrily, "I want to set up a workshop for making joss sticks and paper money. Now we also have a shop in the city. The business of doing funerals and dances is also good. More and more people are looking for it. The joss sticks are fine, but the paper money is too expensive."

"If you run a workshop, the village will also make some money. It's also a business."

"The brown sugar comes only once a year, what are we going to do in the rest of the day, waiting to plant sugar cane?"

The Baichangsheng brothers who came over to listen were a little surprised, "Father, do you still have the skills to make joss paper money?"

Why don't they know that this is really their father?

Bai Lichang said, "What your grandfather left behind is not a very good craftsmanship. The paper money is made of hemp bamboo, the incense is made of elm, and the butter used for red candles."

What he said was very simple. The two Baichangsheng brothers no longer knew what language to use to express their thoughts. How difficult the family had been in those years. Has his father forgotten that he still has this skill?
Their unseen face grandfather is even more powerful, how can he know everything?
It wasn't just today that Bailihui wanted to start a workshop for incense sticks and paper money. He started thinking about it when the village chief came to him last time, but he thought it was troublesome and had sugar cane business, so he stopped thinking about it.

Now that he is the head of the village, there is no public account for a penny in the village, so he has to think of ways to make some money.

Before Bailichang spoke, the two brothers Baichangsheng were very willing, "Father, why don't you hand over the craftsmanship to us, and we will do it."

The 200 taels I paid for hunting tigers at home were much spent, and I also spent a lot of land reclamation on a hundred acres of sandy land. I will have to buy cattle and mules in the future. I can’t just use my uncle’s for everything. The uncle’s house is not enough. And the uncle who has been eating since I came back, does the uncle need to get oil for the rice after moving?
Even if the medicinal materials are planted, they cannot be turned into money immediately. Recently, their brothers are very anxious.

Bailichang nodded, "Then leave it to you."

The two brothers said that they first learned the craft, and then set up workshops. Bailihui appreciated the brother's enthusiasm very much.

Later, Bai Chang'an and his son came back, bringing back a large cart of joss paper money. Bai Lihui checked them carefully and said that they were still usable.

After asking about the situation of the shop, Bai Changhui told him about the workshop for opening joss sticks and paper money. The father and son agreed very much. Recently, both of them are paying attention to the profits here. The more they know, the more confident they are.

"As soon as the celebration in the village is over, we will clean up and then purchase."

After dinner, the whole family sat together to discuss again. Bai Chang'an and his son were very excited when they talked about the shop, and then asked to borrow money, "The shop needs to be cleaned up and stocked. I want to borrow 50 taels of silver from my family."

Bai Changan was a little nervous when he said this. The family’s money cannot be spent together. They have to think carefully about everything they do. The shop gave a year’s rent of 30 taels, and this 30 taels is their big house. All the deposits are very tight now.

Bailihui agreed with Da Fang's matter, and Granny Li nodded, but specifically said, "The current money in the family is the fixed money of brown sugar, and that money can only be used for things related to brown sugar and the family. on major matters.”

"What can be moved is the 100 taels for fighting the tiger and the little left over from before. According to the rules of Nan Xing's marriage at that time, the family of Changpu married a wife will add 20 taels, and set aside another [-] taels for the banquet."
