Chapter 424
The news of Baifu'er's return quickly spread, and Bai Chang'an and others also returned from the county seat. At night, the whole family gathered and it was very lively.

At the dinner table, Bai Changqing bragged to everyone what he had seen and heard in the capital, exaggeratingly saying, "The capital is so big, and the houses are much taller than ours." ''The common people are also very decent, and their words are different from ours, which sounds nice. ''People in the capital are also very rich. ' and so on.

Except for Bai Fuer, there is no one in the whole family who can brag like this. Everyone who said it was stunned and almost didn't believe that the streets in the capital were paved with gold bricks.

After the meal is over, everyone still follows the tradition of Baijia, and talk about everything.

Bai Changan was the first to speak, and it was almost the end of the year, "This year is still the same as in previous years. I think everyone is willing to go out and dance Duan Gong, so that they can earn some money during the New Year."

"There are many people who invite us."

"In addition, a widowed old man walked away from Xishui Village. The old man had a son who was conscripted during the conscription and never came back. Later, his wife disappeared. The head of Xishui Village found me and said Every household in their village has raised some money, and they still want to make it lively for him."

Bailihui nodded, "It should be. Birth, old age, sickness and death. For this person, the last journey is very important. For such a lonely old man, after a lifetime of suffering is finally at an end, it should be lively and lively. Let's go Be decent, and you will have a good pregnancy in your next life."

Don't look at Baijia being rich, but Bailihui is very insistent on doing funeral affairs.

Bai Chang'an knew what he was thinking, and he acted according to his idea, and then talked about the villagers borrowing money, "Recently, someone came to borrow money, and the amount they borrowed was not much, just a few hundred cash or one or two taels." , Don’t borrow it, it’s all from the same village; borrow it, I haven’t returned it from the previous few years.”

This is what makes the Bai family helpless. Originally, they were a little bit better than others in the village. Everyone was not rich. Everyone said that Baijia is good, and they all sent sugarcane to Baijia for sale, but they still had to say a few sour words in private.

In recent years, there have been quite a few borrowers from Baijia, but they almost didn't ask for it clearly.

"They all belong to the same village, we are now"

Bai Lihui was interrupted by Bai Changqing before he finished speaking, "Father, there is no such thing as saying, we are not short of money now, but our money is also hard earned, and it is time to harvest sugar cane every year. It was busy from morning to night, and the second brother couldn't stop making candy for a moment, when his arms weren't swollen and high, just because we made more money, should we spend it on them?"

"This person's greed is inexhaustible. If you are in trouble today, I will lend you ten coins, tomorrow I will lend you a hundred coins, and in the next day, I will lend you a couple of coins. Is it okay?"

"We have taken care of the people in the village enough, and they have helped us make money all these years. Is there any one that is really difficult?"

"If you talk about me, I won't borrow anything unless it is absolutely necessary. I have to sign an IOU for borrowing money, and I have to remind me about my previous debts."

Bai Nanxing and the others agreed with him very much. Their Baijia did not run a philanthropic hall. In the early years, they also thought that the people in the village would be better off, and they would pay for whatever money they had. Later, they not only did not appreciate it, but also I think you should take it for granted, if you don't pay, you are rich and unkind.

Very boring.

"More than half of the people in the village are good. Let's help as much as we can. Those who always want to take advantage of it, it's better to keep less contact."

Once Bai Changqing made the final decision, Bai Lihui didn't continue to say anything. After all, he had already handed over this family to his three brothers, and his children and grandchildren had their own blessings, so he didn't care so much.

After Bai Chang'an finished speaking, it was Bai Changqing's turn. Bai Changqing asked Zhang Xianyu to speak first, but Zhang Xianyu was not polite. After all, she was the speaker of Baijia Sugar Factory, and directly announced two things.

One is the imperial court's 50 catties of goods; the second is the cooperation with General An, "Now that there is a war, General An has led the troops to the expedition, and he must need sugar more than before. I’m so afraid that I’ll talk about it later, so I’ll send the sugar over first.”

"I want to tell everyone that this year we are going to be busier than usual, but maybe not a lot of money will come in."

The people sitting in the room fell silent, the war was too far away and too close.

It is far because it is too far away from their Cangxi County, and it is close because once those barbarians invade, it will cause chaos. Ordinary people like them are the first to suffer, especially Baijia, who are very rich and have no power to protect themselves.

Bailihui said this time irrefutably, "It's fine if we don't know, since we know, and the general said it again, then we have to do it."

"As long as you can win the battle, it's no big deal if you don't make money for a year."

Everyone nodded in unison. Not only did they not feel annoyed because they couldn't make money, but they were a little excited. They also participated in the important affairs of their family and country, and felt that they were quite remarkable.

After talking about Bai Changqing, he took up the conversation and told them about buying a house in Fucheng, "I have also discussed this matter with Changpu's wife, if possible, I will take the child mother and the boys at home to live in Fucheng Firstly, I can inquire about news in Fucheng and take care of the pier, and secondly, the boys at home should also be caught up in their studies, and they are all having fun all day long, which is outrageous."

"We have won this family business. Whether we can keep it and how long we can keep it depends on the boys at home. They can't relax in their studies."

This incident reminded everyone. Bai Nanxing was the first to speak. His son is the oldest, who is six or seven years old. Is it going to be too hard, auntie?"

Bai Changqing also has thoughts on this point, "Even if your third aunt doesn't work hard, your third aunt can't help much except take care of their basic necessities of life, so I also want to invite a teacher to live in him during the day. The boys here go to the academy to study, and when they come back, a teacher will supervise their homework, check for omissions and fill in the gaps."

Everyone began to discuss this matter, and they all felt that it was feasible, "It only takes two or three days to take a boat from here to Fucheng, which is very convenient."

"When the third aunt goes, I will buy two maids and women to help take care of her, so that the third aunt can only watch, and the family work will be handed over to the people below."

"Buy another boy to take care of running errands."

Everyone was chattering, and Bai Fu'er regretted it a little at this time. Their whole family has mud legs. Even if they are well-off, they bought a servant to take care of her without thinking, that is, for her grandma. Two people were placed in the yard.
