Chapter 246 Revisiting the New Future (2)
Mrs. Li and Widow Zheng gave everyone a red envelope, and the little girl Lin Xiaoqiao also pretended to say some encouraging words.

On the first day of the opening of the New Year's shop, it can be said that everyone is happy, and everyone has a festive feeling and a bit of energy.

However, the business has not been very good in the past few days, and there are not many customers every day. Everyone knows that this situation is really normal.

It's a big Chinese New Year, and it's not yet out of the first month, and every household hasn't had enough relatives, and there's a lot of food at home, so there's no time to go out for dinner.

Until the "Lantern Festival" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, many people from the town and neighboring villages will come to the town to watch the lanterns and join in the fun, so the number of customers in the shop has naturally increased a lot.

Especially at night, it was extremely busy. Lin Xiaoqiao's family was helping out in the shop, so naturally they missed this year's Lantern Festival.

But Lin Xiaoqiao didn't think it was a pity, she had already played a good time last year, and thought it was just like that, not very interesting, so she didn't make it this time, she also thought it didn't matter.

On the contrary, Mrs. Li and Widow Zheng felt a little guilty that the children didn't have time to have fun in order to help the shop's business.

On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Xuewen set off to return to the provincial capital to study. Before leaving, Mrs. Li still prepared a lot of things for him to take away.

In the evening, after the shop closed, Mrs. Li called all the family members together to have a small meeting.

Mrs. Li first reported to everyone, his family's income last year: "Our family earned last year, and after spending, there is still more than 360 taels of silver left."

"I asked your father to change the whole thing into silver bills. They are all in this box, and there are more than eight taels of broken silver. You are all part of the family, so take it by yourself." Li After she finished speaking, Shi pushed the small box containing money in front of her to Da Lang who was closest to her.

Dalang took a look at the silver bills in the box and handed them to Erlang without saying anything. Erlang looked at so much silver, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face: "Why did our family earn so much money last year?" My silver! It's incredible!"

"You have read the account books of our shop more or less once or twice, and you should know the business situation of the shop. The money our family earned from the shop last year , that’s about 8000 taels, plus the 2000 taels that your little sister earned from selling dried prunes at the end of the year, it’s more than 9000 taels. Our family didn’t spend a lot of money last year, just bought dozens of acres of land, The usual expenses are not big, so I hardly touch the money. I have made it clear now, and I hope you all have an idea in your heart, so as not to be blinded by your own situation and not clear about anything .” After hearing what her youngest son said, Mrs. Li explained in this way.

After turning the money box around, it was transferred to Lin Xiaoqiao's hand. Looking at the banknotes in the box, she had to say yes in her heart, with a small sense of accomplishment.

Thinking about last year's first lunar month, my family also took advantage of the night to hold such a small meeting to summarize the past and look forward to the future. What the big guys said at the time, looking at them now, it seems that they have all been realized.

Through their own efforts, the two brothers Dalang and Erlang both passed the childbirth examination as they wished, and she herself basically fulfilled the goal she set, and earned so much money for the family.

Sister Lin Xiaoxi has studied and practiced for a year, and this female worker's embroidery skills are not generally good. Years ago, she really kept her word and made a whole body for everyone in the family, tailoring relatively simple clothes.

Father Lin Erniu also took care of his family's dozens of acres of land in an orderly manner by himself, and the quality of the meals on the Lin family's dining table has been improved. Anyway, there is no such thing as starvation, so it can be regarded as fulfilled own goals.

As for Mrs. Li, it is needless to say that she has arranged all the affairs at home and outside of the house by herself. In short, she has fulfilled her responsibilities as a wife and mother very well.

Lin Xiaoqiao recalled the big and small things that happened at home and abroad in the past year, and couldn't help being a little distracted.

"Hey—little girl, what are you thinking? Why are you smiling so happily?" Lin Xiaoxi touched Lin Xiaoqiao with her elbow.

Lin Xiaoqiao came back to his senses, paused, and then said with a smile: "I was just thinking about last year, our family has basically achieved the goals we set at the beginning of the year. We are Don't you have to celebrate this?"

"This shows that our family has been very successful in the past year! Why don't we all set goals for ourselves this year, so that we can have motivation in life!" Da Lang is now speaking more and more steadily Now, and gradually, he has the demeanor of the eldest son in the family.

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao was the first to raise his hand in agreement: "Okay, I totally agree with what Big Brother said."

Erlang also nodded in agreement: "Brother is right. Only when we have a goal can we work hard together as a family and move forward together."

Seeing the positive attitudes of the children, Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Success, you are all grown up now, and you all know that you have to work hard. As a mother, of course I have to support you! Then let me talk about my own goals for this new year."

When Mrs. Li said this, she stopped for a while, and Lin Xiaoqiao and the others were all listening attentively, waiting earnestly for his wife's next words, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement.

Lin Xiaoqiao hurriedly asked, "Mother, what is your goal? Tell me quickly!"

Mrs. Li thought and thought, and then said helplessly: "Oh—mother doesn't have any special goals, she just takes care of you all day long, and my responsibilities and goals have been fulfilled."

Hearing Li Shi's words, Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly felt bored. As a mother, she really only thinks about family children all day long, so she doesn't have any pursuit, but it won't work.

So, she said to Mrs. Li: "Mother, is this your goal? It doesn't make any sense at all. How about I think of one for you, my daughter. Mother is wearing medium silk clothes now, and she used two taels of silver. A box of rouge. How about a box of rouge for ten taels of silver in order to wear high-quality silk clothes next year? We must have a pursuit when we live, don’t we?"

After hearing Lin Xiaoqiao's words, Dalang and the others agreed very much, and Erlang said, "Yes, yes, I think what the younger sister said is right, mother also has her own pursuit."
