Jinghan and the others stayed in the mushroom room for a while, then returned to their house. Jinghan and the other four sisters lived in the west wing room in the backyard. Jingya and Jingwan both went back to the house to do needlework, but Jinghan came to the front yard again.

At this time, Chen and Zhixiang chatted for a long time, and they were a little tired. Besides, Zhixiang and his wife were newlyweds, so Chen asked them to go back to the East Cluster Courtyard to rest. Zhixiang led Wanting away, and Chen leaned on a pillow and wanted to stare for a while.

Jinghan came in at this time, "Grandma, I have something to tell you."

When Chen saw that it was Jinghan, he sat up and waved to Jinghan, "Come on, Jinghan, when you come to Grandma, you are so busy these days that you can't care about you little guys."

Jinghan sat on the kang and looked at her grandmother's white hair, and felt a little sad. "Grandma, discuss something with you. Will our family let my elder sister take charge of the accounting in the future?"

Chen was stunned, "Why? What's wrong with your elder sister? You have to take charge of the account?"

Jinghan leaned against grandma, "Grandma, think about it, my elder sister is about to be fourteen, how many years can she stay at home? She must be asked to learn to be a housekeeper and take charge of the accounting. What should I do if I get married in the future? Our family will definitely be better than now, so my elder sister's marriage is probably not bad. If I don't learn it now, will I not be able to wait for anything in the future?" Jinghan didn't care whether these words were what she, a little girl, should say, and said it directly.

After hearing Jinghan's words, Chen immediately became energetic, "Oh, isn't it? I really didn't think about this. Yes, this rich family has a lot of things. If you don't understand at all, you will definitely suffer a loss in the future. OK, grandma understands what you said, and I will tell your mother tonight that the account for our wedding has not yet been collected? Just ask Jingya to help her. She can read it? It's not difficult to do this." Chen looked at the little granddaughter, but he didn't expect that this little man could think of these things. Probably something inspired her. "Jinghan, why did you ask your elder sister to learn to be a housekeeper at this time? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing? I just saw my uncle getting married. Then I remembered it. Now our family has relatives with the Lu family in the county. My uncle is only twenty-four years old and works by the Tongzhi of the State. Who can guarantee that my uncle will not be an official in the future? After all, Lord Lu has become the uncle's uncle's uncle's uncle. If you think so, our girl may have a good marriage in the future. Then you have to learn things well." Jinghan knew that these words were not like an eleven-year-old girl could think of. But for the sake of her elder sister's happiness, she had to say. "Actually, there is no teaching nanny here? Otherwise, I should really let my elder sister learn it."

Chen nodded while listening. She had never thought about these things. She was just happy about her son. But it was a little wrong for a little girl to remember this, right? "Jinghan, tell the truth to grandma? How did you think of it?"

Jinghan's eyes rolled and said, "I heard from my uncle yesterday that someone said that my uncle will have a good future in the future, and the daughter of the Xu family will be a rare choice for a daughter-in-law in the future. I heard from others." This should be able to get through it, right?

Chen then suddenly realized, "So that's the case. I'll say, you little brat, can you think of these things? OK, grandma remembers this, just listen to you." Chen also knew that this was a matter that concerns the girls of the Xu family for the rest of their lives, so he was very concerned. "Go and call your mother here, I have something to say to her."

Jinghan agreed and went downstairs to find Xue.

Soon, Xue came over and Chen and Chen whispered for a long time before coming out. During lunch, Chen asked Jingya to help collect the accounts of Zhixiang's marriage in the afternoon. When Jinghan heard this, she knew that her suggestion was adopted and she was secretly happy. When her sister gradually got into more things, she would not think about what she is now and had no idea. Women can be gentle and virtuous, but they cannot have no opinions at all.

Although my family was a little strange, I didn't say anything. From then on, Jingya was responsible for the family's accounts. Gradually, even the daily needs were decided by Jingya. This is a later story, so I will not mention it for now.

The 20th day was the day when Zhixiang and Wanting returned to the door, but the county town was too far away and they would definitely not be able to come back that day. So Chen said that they would stay in the county town for a few more days without rushing to come back. So Zhixiang and his wife took the two girls and a coachman, took a lot of things back to the county town.

It was time for the Chinese New Year and the family had just finished the wedding, so it became even busier. Zhixin and Xue were busy buying New Year's goods, so Jingya officially began to manage the family's accounts, and she had to pay out every item of money. When she bought things, she had to keep accounts and other things, and they all understood everything.

This year is the first year of moving to the town, and it is also the first time that Zhixiang and his wife celebrate the New Year at home. Although the family spent a lot of money on Zhixiang's marriage, Chen still asked the New Year to buy a good New Year. When Zhixiang got married, he killed two pigs, and there were still a lot of meat that was useless and they all started to freeze. This time, the New Year is just right.

Jinghan's mushrooms have grown pretty well this time, so they have resumed sending mushrooms every day, so that they can earn one or two taels of silver a day. This is not bad. In the middle of winter, where can I earn one or two taels of silver? As the Chinese New Year approaches, Jinghan asked Wencheng to tell Baiweilou that the mushrooms before the New Year will only last until the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and then they will not be given. When will the restaurant open after the New Year be opened, they will resume sending mushrooms.

Manager Sun replied, saying that the 12th restaurant will open after the New Year, and that it will be enough to send less at that time.

Jinghan didn't say anything. These mushrooms have been out for more than two months, and now there are not many mushrooms. It is probably time to get off, and it's good to take a break. As the end of the year approaches, the family is busy working every day, steaming buns, steamed meat, fried meat, and dried fruits every day. They make some delicious food.

The Chinese New Year is the happiest time for children. They don’t have to work, but they can often be delicious. In addition to getting up early to practice martial arts and practicing calligraphy during the day, the boys help Zhixin chop firewood and burn fire. After all, there are too many houses at home, and they have to burn firewood. "Dad, will there still be logging after the New Year? Then we have to pull more firewood." Wenhan asked while helping stack firewood.

"Yes, I really have to get more firewood this year. When we don't look at the mountain, it will not be so convenient to pick up firewood when we are not looking at it." Zhixin said with an axe. The Xu family has been looking at ginseng on the mountain for three years. It seems that the place has developed in a few years. The good places have been turned into ginseng soil, and the remaining places are fragmented and not in pieces. It is estimated that at most one or two years, there will be another place to open a new garnish. By then, the Xu family will naturally finish watching the current place and will not go to other places to visit.

"We really have to think about it. We have to find a place to buy a piece of land or something, otherwise, this kind of land will be very worried in the future. Dad, if there is a suitable place near our yard, we don't have to buy a forest too big. It's good to slowly develop this kind of ginseng farming in our home. Besides, don't you look at the big geese, pigs, and the tussal silkworms we raise, all of them have to be on the mountain? Although it's a little far away from the town, where can we find that kind of suitable place?" Wen Han said everything he could think of.

When Zhixin heard his son's words, he felt very pleased. This son has grown up and knew to plan for the family. "Okay, your father knows what you said. When the Chinese New Year is over and when he is free, Dad will tell your grandpa and the others. It's time to make plans early, otherwise won't you have to numb? " These things really have to be considered in advance, otherwise who knows what will happen in the future?

Zhixiang and his wife came back on the 26th day of the 12th lunar month, and this year it was the 29th again, so in a blink of an eye, New Year's Eve arrived. This year Zhixiang was at home, so the old man took his four sons to the village to visit the grave.

Chen made a speech this year, asking Zhide and Qingnian families to come for the New Year and have a good reunion year this year. So when the men left, the women began to get busy at home, preparing in one way or another.

Although Wanting married for a short time, it can be seen that the Xu family is a very simple family, and a big family with kind father and filial son. Although the family did not live well, they all agreed and enjoyed it. Wanting liked this atmosphere very much and was willing to work with them and share that happiness together. So Wanting took two girls to work with everyone. Although she had never done these things and could only do some simple tasks, she was still very happy.

When the old man and the others came back, the meal had already been prepared at home. So everyone set up three tables in the living room, one table for adults and one table for children, the servants brought back by Zhi and two girls from Wanting, and everyone had a lively New Year's Eve dinner together.

The old man was very happy today. After several years, the family finally reunited. "Wenhan, bring a jar of wine for grandpa, and grandpa is greedy for the wine."

Today's dishes are very hearty, including chicken, fish, meat and eggs. Each dish has meat, as well as various fried meatballs, fish, dried fruits, mushrooms, etc. There are a total of sixteen dishes, and a large table is set.

The old man asked everyone to pour wine, and even the women got a glass. The old man raised his glass and said, "Come on, everyone has done this glass of wine first. It's rare that our family is so complete. Celebrate the New Year. The New Year you spent the next year, and this year we are all here. We are all a family, and we don't need those stupid words, just eat and drink well." The old man drank the wine in the glass in one go.
