Chapter 236 1 I think about food every day
"And our family will get better and better in the future. We have kept this family together in the past. It doesn't make sense that the better times will be worse than before. As long as everyone works together, there will be no hard times."
Lin Daniu and his brothers were so excited by the old man's words that their eyes sparkled as bright as the sun in the daytime.
This is exactly the effect Grandpa Lin wanted. When he said this, he saw his eldest grandson grinning like a silly boy beside him. Thinking of what Guangdan said, he brought it up again.
"Gouwei is not young anymore. He will be fifteen next year. When Xiaoniu was your age, he had already started working as a peddler. We won't keep you at home. After the New Year, you can follow your uncle and go out to see the world."
Grandpa Lin’s words touched Lin Daniu’s heart a little bit. He was just thinking about his eldest son.
Lin Daniu felt that this was not his fault. Gouwei was his first son and looked like him. The second and third sons in the family were both very smart, so he was most worried about his eldest son.
Now that I see that the old man cares about his eldest son, I feel a little relieved.
When Gouwei heard Grandpa mention him, he sat up straight immediately. After listening, he grinned and said, as if he had mustered up the courage, "Grandpa, I think so too. From now on, I will sell goods in the county town. Then my uncle will have free time to collect furs and mountain products."
Gouwei has made up his mind that after the New Year, he will take some of his tools for making brushes to Lijia Village. He can also make brushes there in his spare time after selling goods. This time must not be wasted.
"Well, good boy! Do a good job." Grandpa Lin nodded with satisfaction.
After listening for a long time, Guangdan felt that he had something to say, so he raised his little arm and waved it towards his grandfather.
"What do you want to say, Guangdan? Go ahead." Grandpa Lin gestured with a smile.
"Hehehe, I think big brother had better learn how to do accounting. Our family's business may grow bigger and bigger, and we can't have no one to do the accounting, right? My uncle is a good person, but he has too many things to do." Guangdan suggested with a smile.
He swallowed back the words "Grandpa Lin, don't you know how to do it?" and turned to look at Gouwei again.
In fact, the old man is quite satisfied with his eldest grandson. Unlike the cheerful Guangdan, Gouwei is always careful and steady. Such a person is indeed suitable for accounting.
Thinking of this, he asked Gouwei, "What do you think, Gouwei? If you have the same idea, ask your father to take you to the clan school in the first month to ask if there is any way for you to learn how to manage accounts as soon as possible."
Gouwei nodded excitedly, then quickly said uncertainly: "Then, does that mean I can't go to the county town with my uncle?"
"That's not necessarily true. You can ask the teacher to assign you some homework, and then come back every few days to show it to the teacher." Guangdan said this, but he was thinking in his heart that if conditions permit, finding an accountant in the county town would actually be a good choice.
But then I thought about how difficult it is to find a master these days. Forget it. If I don’t learn for three to five years, I’m afraid I won’t be able to become a master.
What Gouwei needs is a crash course, so Guangdan couldn't help but add another sentence.
"Brother, I'll help you too. I'm pretty good at accounting!" Guangdan said and nodded with certainty.
"Yes, big brother, the teacher said that the second brother is very good at math." At this time, Goudan, who had been playing a small role in the background, also said something.
This caused everyone to stare at him curiously, especially Guangdan, who was curious about how the teacher knew it.
Little did he know that Goudan was so eager to tell the teacher all the great things about Guangdan. How could the teacher not know that?
"How about this, in your free time these days, Goudan and Guangdan, you two can help your eldest brother study math and accounting at home." Grandpa Lin was pleased to see such unity among the younger generations in the family.
Then they talked about some random things, and when everyone dispersed, only a few dog barks were left in Linjia Village.
In fact, Guangdan felt that there was one thing his grandfather hadn't told him, and that was the marriage between his younger uncle and his eldest brother, but it seemed that this kind of thing didn't need to be said in front of everyone.
But Guangdan was still a little curious, as everyone has curiosity.
In addition to various ceremonies before the New Year, another lively event is the giving of New Year gifts.
The brothers Lin Daniu and Lin Erniu went to their respective parents-in-law's homes, Lin Xiaoniu went to his uncle's home, and even Fang Erlangzi brought Daya back to give New Year gifts.
These two people made Fang Cuihua's face turn black.
"Why are you two so disobedient? Daya, when you left, didn't I tell you not to come back before the New Year? This road is so difficult to walk on, and you two brought so many things with you?"
The couple came happily, and then were directly attacked by Fang Cuihua. However, the couple was not unhappy, but still looked at Fang Cuihua with a smile.
After Fang Cuihua had calmed down, Daya took her mother's hand affectionately and said with a smile, "Mom, Erlangzi's brother got some beef in town, so he gave some to Erlangzi. Now, Erlangzi wants to send some over for you to try."
"You silly girl, how much can you have? And you're still so eager to take it back? You!" Although Fang Cuihua was very happy in her heart, she still looked fierce on the surface.
"Your son-in-law wanted to come here on his own initiative. I didn't instigate him." Daya said with a pout.
Fang Cuihua was mostly satisfied with her son-in-law. Although he had many shortcomings, some of which were the kind that could not be corrected, fortunately, this child was honest and obedient.
She even silently compared Daya with other girls in the village who had married out. There were not many who lived better than Daya. It turned out that Daya was a blessing in disguise.
Guangdan was so happy when he knew that his brother-in-law had brought beef! !
Beef is so hard to come by these days! Most people will never get to eat a bite of beef in their entire lives!
This shows that my eldest brother-in-law’s elder brother is doing quite well!
The beef that Daya and her husband brought weighed about one pound. Fang Cuihua wanted to ask Cao Lian to cook the beef while the couple were around, but the couple waved their hands, saying that they had another piece at home.
After having lunch, they left the New Year gifts and went home in a hurry, leaving Fang Cuihua at a loss for words.
However, Grandma Lin was still a little bit expectant when she saw that Daya's face looked much rosier than before. She had always wanted to be a great-grandmother.
Guangdan spent several nights pondering over this piece of beef. Should it be stir-fried beef, braised beef in soy sauce, or beef pie? How should it be eaten?
