Chapter 110 New Year’s Eve Trivia
After Su Qing coaxed her grandmother, Old Wang, she went to see Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao. When she arrived at Grandma Xiao's yard, Su Qing shouted, "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm back!"
Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao heard Su Qing's voice in the house, and the two old people hurried out, "Oh, my dear grandson is here! Come and show him to grandma. I haven't seen him these days, and my heart is empty!"
Su Qing opened her arms like a little goose and flew into Grandma Xiao's arms!
Grandma Xiao held Su Qing in her arms and kissed her, then returned to the house and put Su Qing on the bed to warm her up. "Grandpa, grandma, where are the uncles?"
"I went to the county town. There's not much work to do now. It's cold and there are fewer people building houses! I went to your aunt's house and helped your mother with the store!"
"Oh oh." Su Qing took out a silver note of one thousand taels and handed it to Grandma Xiao, "Grandpa, Grandma, the New Year is coming soon, I want to buy you some New Year's goods!"
"I just gave it to you last time, grandma still has it! Keep it for yourself!"
"Grandma, I earned over 300,000 yuan this time when I went out to see a doctor!"
"What? Over three hundred thousand?"
"Yes, Grandma!"
"Oh my God!" Grandpa Xiao shuddered
"My dear grandson is so amazing and capable!"
"Grandma, please accept it! I'll take you, Grandpa, and my grandparents to visit the county town in a couple of days!"
"Okay, okay, thank you for your filial piety, my dear grandson!"
"Hehe! Grandpa and grandma, the last time I came to the capital, the emperor had already conferred upon me the title of Princess Ding'an! This Yun'an County is my fiefdom! After the New Year, the emperor will send people from the Ministry of Works to Yun'an County to build a Princess' Mansion for me!"
Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao hadn't fully recovered from the last shock yet, and they were shocked again by the second big news exposed by Su Qing!
"My dear grandson is a princess appointed by the emperor himself?"
"Oh my god! Grandpa was blown away by you today! These surprises are so unexpected! My old heart almost couldn't take it!"
"Hehe! Grandpa, you have to get used to it. Maybe I will have bigger melons in the future? Hahaha..."
Su Qing accompanied Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao to the old soldier's house for a stroll for half an hour to see how Jiang Yuan's leg was recovering. "Uncle Jiang, how is your leg recovering?"
"Thank you for your concern, young lady. You are recovering very well! Just like the young lady! You can already walk for a quarter of an hour without crutches!"
"Okay, but you'll need the help of a cane! Take your time! Don't rush!"
"Okay thanks girl!"
"We're all family, Uncle Jiang, you don't have to be polite!"
.........
Then he went to see the veterans who had installed prosthetic limbs. "Uncles, how are you using these prosthetic limbs? Are you used to them? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Thank you for your concern, I was a little uncomfortable at first, but now after using it for a while, it feels like my own legs!"
"That's great! If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me at any time and I will adjust your prosthesis for you!"
"Okay thanks girl!"
Su Qing took another stroll in the greenhouse and then returned to his own yard!
.........
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and there are only three days left until the New Year!
Su Qing instructed Xia He early in the morning, "Xia He, after you finish your work in the workshop today, you will have your annual leave. After work, you will arrange for people to come to my yard to collect their wages and distribute New Year's goods!"
"Yes, young lady! I understand!"
"Dongmei, go and invite the housekeeper, Uncle Li!"
"Yes, girl"
In less than a quarter of an hour, the housekeeper Li Hai came over! "Miss, you are looking for me!"
"Uncle Li, please tell the villagers who are working that they will have a day off after work this afternoon, and then come to my yard to collect their wages and New Year's goods..."
"Okay, I understand! I'll go and notify them right away!"
"Uh-huh"
"Yingsan, Dongmei, come with me to the county town to buy New Year's goods for the workers!"
"Okay girl!"
Ying San drove the carriage to the gate of the yard. Su Qing and Dong Mei got on the carriage. Ying San whipped the horse whip and headed towards the county town! Su Qing went to the toy shop first! "Qiu Ju"
"The girl is here!"
"Yes! Qiuju, the shop will be closed this afternoon! You guys should go back to the Su residence!"
"Okay, girl!"
"Sister Wanying, you've worked so hard! Let's go back to the Su residence today because it's our day off!"
"It's not hard, girl. I like my life now!" "Hmm..."
"Baizhi, Banxia has wronged you during this period!"
"It's okay, girl! I just feel a little sorry that I couldn't protect you closely!"
"After the New Year, follow me closely! The store is hiring again!"
"Yes, thank you, young lady!" The two were very happy to hear that they would be able to protect the young lady closely soon!
"Qiuju, I still have something to buy, so I'll leave first!"
"Okay girl, slow down!"
"OK"
Su Qing went to the pastry shop and the dried fruit shop again, "Dad, Mom, aunt, second aunt, uncle, second uncle..."
"My dear daughter is here!"
Xiao hugged her daughter and kissed her for a long time! "Mom, let's close the shop for the holiday today! Chinese New Year is only three days away! Go home and have a rest during the holiday! Bring home all the cakes and pastries from the shop!"
“good good”
"Mom, how many egg cakes are left in the store?"
"Not much, maybe 30 or 40 kilograms left!"
"Mom, weigh them all for me, I'll be working in the workshop doing the New Year's goods!"
"well,"
My aunt quickly went to weigh the egg cakes, "There are still 45 kilograms of egg cakes!"
"Okay, thank you, Aunt! Please, Aunt and Second Aunt, help me pack them one pound at a time!"
“good good”
Su Qing took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to Xiao, "Mom, this is the money for the egg cake, no need to change!" Su Qing teased
"You naughty boy!"
"Hey, mother, there's really no need to look for it!"
"Okay, okay, little rich girl!"
"Mom, pay off the dividends to my aunt and second aunt today. They'll definitely need money to buy things during the New Year! Give each of them an extra ten taels of silver as a New Year's red envelope!"
"Okay, my dear daughter, mother knows!"
"I'll go next door and tell my uncle and aunt!"
Su Qing skipped to the next shop, "Uncle, aunt, I'm here!"
"Oh, my dear, here I am! Come to your aunt for a hug! I miss you so much!"
"Hey, uncle, aunt, we're closed this afternoon!"
"Okay! Sweetie!"
"Uncle, take home all the dried fruits that Auntie can't sell today!"
“good good”
...............
Su Qing informed the three shops that they were closed for the holiday, and then went to the grain shop to buy rice and noodles!
Arriving at the grain store, he asked, "Boss, how much are the rice and flour?"
"Brown rice is five cents, broken rice is ten cents, medium rice is fifteen cents, and polished rice is twenty cents!"
"Where's the white flour?"
"Black face five coins, mixed face twelve coins, white face twenty coins
"First, five hundred kilograms of refined rice! Five hundred kilograms of white flour!"
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"
The shopkeeper was grinning from ear to ear, what a big customer!
The shopkeeper quickly approved it and asked the waiter to move it to Su Qing's carriage!
Su Qing paid twenty taels of silver! "Boss, how much refined rice and white flour do you have left?"
"Little girl, how much do you want?"
"The more the merrier!"
"I still have over 10,000 kilograms of each in my store, but I can transfer them from somewhere else!"
"Sure, I have a big family! So I have more food!"
"I'll pay a deposit of twenty taels first, and you give me a receipt! I'll send it to Sujia Village, Su's family tomorrow! My name is Su Qing! I'll settle the rest of the money with you later!"
"Okay, little girl!"
