Chapter 65
65. Annual Salary
During the Chinese New Year, Old Man Dong did not cause trouble and helped write a couplet and posted it on the city lord's mansion.
Cao Si thought about it, but it was difficult to get stuck between the old couple of Zhao's family, so he would come to the city lord's mansion to celebrate the New Year.
After breakfast, Cao Si first went to find Han Si to bet on dice, and the same lottery as fighting crickets, and also kicked his butt.
There was no other place to play, and Shang Saner also went to watch the fun.
After Mei'er packed the table, Aunt Shang said to her: "I'm having the New Year today. I'll go home to have the New Year's Eve dinner with your parents and grandma, and I'll come back tomorrow!"
Mei'er pointed at her and bit her mouth lightly: "Then...you eat later, I'll come back soon, and I can have another meal!"
Aunt Shang couldn't help but laugh and scold: "How old is the person who is still quarrel? He is the only one in the family and can't bear to give you something delicious? Although he is already from my family, at least he will accompany them for one night, Han Si will send him back!"
"It's all in the city, it's not that I can't see you!" Even though that was said, I really miss my grandmother and my parents. Mei'er said again: "Then I'll have the New Year's Eve dinner, come to help you wash the dishes, and then go back to the garment shop to stay at the New Year!"
Aunt Shang was laughed at: "Without your help, I have washed the bowls for decades. Can you show that you can?"
Mei'er raised her mouth and helped cook for a while before she went back to the garment shop.
After fighting with Cao Si for a long time, Han Si also returned to the grocery store for the New Year's Eve dinner in dust.
That night, I went to teach the magic of the Earth Immortals, and there was a slim girl in the shop, which made Shang Saner not secretly fishy and felt unhappy. Recently, I didn’t like to join the grocery store.
At the New Year's Eve dinner in the city lord's mansion, Aunt Shang and San Cao and Si Cao. The three of them respected the four heavenly emperors, and their ancestors gathered around to eat and drink, and then stayed up with the New Year together.
On the New Year's Eve, Shang San'er stopped for a night and did not drink the rotten wine. She accompanied my mother and Cao Si to use some Qionghua dew and was happy.
No one stopped the wine and fisted Shang Saner. Cao Si also forgot his worries. He drank too much at home and fell asleep on the table before he was woken up at dawn.
Tian Yu had already announced from house to house that before the first day of the New Year, the whole city would wait in front of the city lord's mansion, and follow the city lord to the Land Temple outside the city to burn incense, and then return to the city god temple.
The city gods and land in the world are mostly incompetent Yin Shen Earth Immortals. If they were not for the merchants, how many immortals would like to pay respects?
Now that there is only one mortal in the city, Cao Si is the only one who follows Shang Saner and his wife to burn incense, wouldn’t it be deserted?
Except for children, most people stay up late and get together before dawn before going to bed.
All the ninth-level immortals arrived, and no one was absent from the place. They were satisfied with the mediation of the mall lord. The three wives of the Zhen family also gave face and each brought their grandchildren. Nian Xiao was like the two children of the Tu family, all sleepy.
In the crowd, Grandma Chen's family stood at the west end, while Han Yaoniang and his brother were at the east end, and they had nothing to do with each other.
After seeing behind Aunt Shang, Shang San Cao and Si were carrying buckets out of the mansion. Now the well water in the city can be used, Old Man Dong asked: "What is the custom of carrying water on the first day of the New Year?"
Not to mention Sanfu City, the dragon scales are closest to the green willow, and there is no custom of fetching water on the first day of the New Year.
The three people who left the city lord's mansion were all wearing new clothes. The two men and women in the business were sewn by Mei'er, and Cao Si asked for it in the garment store.
Cao Si replied to him: "Uncle Dong, all cities and customs are different. We are Green Willow City, and we can get water early on the first day of the first day of the day, so we can get up diligently in the whole year!"
It made Dong Ce laugh: "You are such a lazy guy, so you leave the city late at night and get back with your head, so how can you get up early in the year?"
Cao Sijiu had not yet awakened, and the immortal dared to express his dissatisfaction in front of him: "It's just a meaning, why should I be diligent?"
The boy from the Tu family ran back there: "Go to the countryside and follow the customs, I'll get the bucket!"
He had to take the lead. Tian Yu thought about it and went back to get the bucket, trotting and shouting: "If you want to get the bucket, go to the west gate if you take it!"
So, Han Si and other young men ran back to get the bucket.
The two mothers and mothers of the merchants took the lead, and did not talk about the queue. They moved out of the city in groups of three or three along the street.
When they arrived at the Tudi Temple, Shang Saner kicked the old dog and knelt on the ground again, took out the incense and distributed it. Each person only had one stick of stick, and lit it together to burn incense: "Tidi Po thanks for the blessing of the Tudi Po!"
The Yin God, who is hundreds of years old, has never encountered so many immortals and respect. He feels that a lot of wishes are added to the crutches. The shadow of the Earth Po is revealed and he bows back and returns: "Thank you, old woman!"
For Cao Si, when the incense was burning, the land lady walked out of the mud and showed up to give her a gift. She was also the first encounter, and she couldn't help but be scared, but the temple was not full of words, so she couldn't help but speak.
Everyone put the incense in their hands, clasped their fists and said goodbye to the Tudipo, and then they were done.
The young men left the temple to get buckets, each went to fetch water, and the rest went back to the city first and waited outside the City God Temple.
Shang Saner and Cao Si each carried water back to the mansion, went to the Chenghuang Temple, and then lit up incense.
Like the earthly goddess, the immortals went to the temple to burn incense, and there were six or nine levels, and the city gods also wanted to show up to pay their respects.
After leaving the City God Temple, Shang Saner bowed and said, "Thank you all, let's go back and take a break! Uncle Tu, you six, come to our mansion for dinner in the evening!"
The City Lord's Mansion is going to host a banquet for the ninth-level immortals today. When he is busy, Mei'er said goodbye to his parents and grandmother and followed Aunt Shang.
Having first learned the wonderful method of the Earth Immortal, Han Yaoniang has been busy with her practice recently, so she also took care of her practice at the grocery store store and raised the level early so that she could have more time to look. She was too far behind Chen Mei'er in this regard.
The crowd dispersed, and Shang Saner took the paper money and took the old dog out of the city. Outside the merchant's old grave, they buried their uncle's house and the Zhou family's mounds, burned paper and burned incense.
When I returned to the city, I went to the public warehouse to burn some paper money. The cremation of all the people here was without owners. No one cared about the dead family anymore, and it was even more pitiful.
Then he returned to the mansion and told Han Si that he would ask Mei'er to send more food to the mansion in the afternoon. When Cao Si came, he would give him food, but he stopped him and was not allowed to enter the mansion.
The old couple of Zhao family were all going to come to the mansion to have a banquet. There was no one in the small restaurant. Cao Si was there tonight.
After giving the instructions, he found some food in the kitchen to cushion, and Shang Saner was about to take a rest of his sleep, but he didn't expect Mei'er to chase him in.
Shang Saner teased: "What, I want to sleep with you on the first day of the New Year?"
The unscrupulous city lord had to tease him at any time, and Mei'er gradually got used to it. Her little face was red, she lowered her head for a while, and said softly: "Master! Last night, I advised my parents and asked them to give me another brother and sister!"
Shang Saner immediately laughed: "Why are you the daughter who is opening this mouth? Where is your grandma?"
Mei'er shook her head: "I only realized last night that they didn't want to have another child. Because of my illness, my mother had miscarriage and could not get pregnant again!"
This is a private matter at home, how can I tell you?
Shang Saner waited quietly, and she said again: "I am lucky. If you have the luck of meeting the jujube, I hope you will ask for two... one to come back and give it to my parents!"
Pinching her face, Shang Saner waved indifferently: "What a big deal? Don't you know what you are capable of?"
Mei'er chuckled and let him pretend. After a while, she whispered: "I am a stupid girl. I'm sick and have ruined many shrimps. I'm still looking for the precious seven-section shrimps. I shouldn't have opened this again, but I don't have enough skills, so I can only beg you with shamelessness. There is no other reward from both sides, and I will only serve you with all my heart... The old lady!"
It made Shang Saner laugh: "You must also serve you by a stupid girl!"
He also pointed to his clothes: "Make a few more clothes for me!"
Ren pinched his face for a while, and saw that he was ready to move again, Mei'er stepped back anxiously: "I... I'll help the old lady prepare food, and I'll be there to entertain guests in the evening!"
"If you raise a fire for me, don't worry!"
Afraid that he was dying of beasts, he didn't let him go during the day, so he turned his head and ran out: "Late...night."
Shang Saner lay on the bed with a sigh and sighed, and took a rest first.
In the evening, the seat of the city lord's mansion was Shang Saner and his wife. The guests were Tu Zhuang, Zhao Tong, Zhang Guoguo, Zhen Yaoshen, Grandma Chen, and Old Man Dong, six and nine-level men. Mei'er stood beside him to cook dishes and pour wine.
In order to entertain better, Aunt Shang also borrowed a chicken from Tu's wife, and added big elbows, pig trotters, pig ears, and the leftover tremella of Shang Saner made wine into soup, and the table was full of hard dishes.
Of course the wine is Qionghua Dew.
The banquet was held together, and Aunt Shang stood up: "As for the truth, everyone is older than me, and each has great abilities. I am willing to help my mother and mother guard the city. I have to bear the affection and thank you all for endless thanks! My bastard son, I have not taught him well since childhood, did not follow the rules, had poor morals, and was accustomed to words to hurt others. I don't know how much I have offended you! The first glass of wine is my unscrupulous woman who teaches her children. I apologize to all elders and sisters!"
When people talk, Tu Zhuang, Grandma Chen, Old Man Dong and others can curse at any time when they get along with Shang Saner, but they also have to treat him, who is polite to him. After hearing what she said, they all stood up: "You are the aunt in the business family, you dare not be a good friend!"
She didn't let her drink alone, so she raised her glasses and drank with her.
When my mother sat down with them, Shang Saner scratched her head and stood up and said, "Then I will drink three glasses of wine, just to ask me not to apologize to others on the first day of next year!"
Grandma Chen glanced at him: "Oh, that's not easy!"
Zhen Yao Shen had no expression on his face. Zhao Tong, who was talking less, nodded, Old Man Dong sneered, Tu Zhuang patted his chest: "I'll stare at your mother, and I'll drink these three glasses of wine with you!"
Tu Zhuang accompanied him three drinks just to drink more, and there was no other purpose.
The owner should apologize for the crime, and the person should be punished for the crime, and the aunt Shang asked to turn on the chopsticks before it started to eat.
Aunt Shang was present and the quarrels stopped. The names of "I", "little bastard", and "little turtle grandson" were all put away, and the table was filled with peace.
After three rounds of wine, Shang Saner took out a stack of merit bamboo leaves: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it's time to pay the annual salary last year!"
"Uncle Tu, who nodded and helped me defend the city, only half a year has entered the city. But my mother said that it is not easy to settle down in a green willow city. It is calculated as the first year, and the annual salary must be paid in full!"
Zhao Tong, Grandma Chen, Zhang Guoguo, and Zhen Yao Shen, each of them gave Jiuye first.
Tu Zhuang's wine was still a useless person, and he couldn't use any effort when he encountered problems, so he didn't have any.
If the Zhenyao God had earned more than he had been treated for the disease, he would have looked down on these years of annual salary. However, after being instigated by Shang Saner, the three bosses took turns to the clinic and the pharmacy shops to take the money. All the money was intercepted and could no longer be ignored. After taking over the Merit Ye, he smiled bitterly at the wine glass: "I only realized recently that the city lord brewed this wine at a good price, so he would definitely be rich, so he would not ask me to wait for the ninth level to get the lowest annual salary in the world!"
Grandma Chen doesn't want to defend the city if she doesn't have an annual salary, so she can't speak. Zhao Tong and Zhang Guoguo nodded.
Two pools of new Qionghua dew just came out of the winery. I could take it away when the people from Tang Yuanshan arrived. It was indeed not lacking in merit, but Shang Saner shook her head: "Uncle Hei, the price he had set is not easy to change!"
I am present and I don’t call him Heixin Zhen, so Shang Saner is already polite.
After refusing, he took Liuye and handed it over: "This is the credit for the remedial grandma Chen and Mr. Dong!"
It turns out that in addition to the annual salary, there are additional rewards, which is almost the same.
The god of Zhenyao hurriedly took it over.
Shang Saner handed Liu Ye to Tu Zhuang: "Uncle Tu was exhausted and killed pigs and pushed them to the east, so he should have a hard work!"
Tu Zhuang hurriedly put down his wine glass, held the merit leaf, grinned and praised: "Kaoliang!"
Shang Saner took Sanye to Zhao Tong again: "I will be tired of Mr. Zhao in the future. Fight with Uncle Tu more often. If the year-end competition is over, add it!"
No one would think that there was too much merit. He loved to talk, so it would be better to get a hard-earned money for it. Zhao Tong nodded and took it with a expressionless face.
Tu Zhuang still paid for it with wine, and there was no such portion.
Shang Saner said again: "Grandma Chen and Aunt Zhao, I said that I quarrel every day and my annual salary will increase by three Ye, but I haven't had a few days to argue this year, and I will pay it again next year, okay?"
Zhang Guoguo shouted: "Oh, why did my aunt become stingy now? I quarrel with her old woman, how much saliva is used? Not to mention the plain and dirty ears, but people with body must also be careful of fetal aura, so how easy is it?"
Shang Saner thought: "Then give it to you this year?"
"A single leaf is also made, no matter how little it is!"
So, Grandma Chen and Zhang Guoguo were one leaf each.
Mei'er had to eat shrimp every day. Aunt Shang told her that she would not give her any money. Han Si, who was in the doorman, asked Shang Saner to give her a leaf.
