Chapter 265 New Year's Eve Vigil

The people in the factory received their wages on the 23rd and went on holiday.

Shen Xia not only asked Song Jin to pay his wages, but also gave each of them a piece of meat and a piece of cloth.

The twenty people Song Jin recruited recently did not receive so much and only received half a piece of cloth as a yearly gift.

They were also very happy because they knew they came late and would probably only get their wages, but they did not expect to get some New Year gifts, and they were very satisfied.

These things must be unequal, otherwise you will get the same thing no matter how much you work, which will make people who work hard feel unbalanced.

The factory buys cloth at the purchase price, so it is still very affordable. So new employees are given half a bolt of cloth.

They are all the same color, navy blue, which is practical in rural areas.

The pork was bought from Lu Ye’s relative.

Cut it into pieces, and everyone draws lots, and whichever piece you draw gets it.

This way no one will be picky.

Watching everyone leave happily.

Although it was snowing, there were still some outsiders.

Looking at the workers in the factory, each of them happily holding a piece of cloth and a piece of meat, not even mentioning the wages, everyone who saw it was jealous.

I heard they can read.

Now everyone is looking forward to the factory growing bigger and hiring more people.

Because of the Chinese New Year.

Everyone was beaming with joy from the inside out.

The weather outside was very cold. Sometimes I went to the greenhouse with Song Ming to pick vegetables, but usually I didn't leave the yard.

In fact, the temperature in the greenhouse is pretty good. When the temperature is not reached, charcoal will be added.

So this winter, there is always enough vegetables in the yard to eat.

On New Year's Eve, in the afternoon, Song's mother distributed reward money to everyone, and everyone was very happy.

After the meal is ready and everything is arranged, it’s time for everyone to take a day off.

In fact, it makes no difference whether there is a holiday or not, because they are all buyers.

There's only countryside around, and nowhere to go.

Because the weather is cold.

Shen Xia thought that Fan Zifu and his wife lived in the old house, which was too cold and had no kang. After all, they were still needed, so she didn't want them to get cold and get hurt.

So last month, they let the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren move into Xiaowu's yard.

Because Xiaowu and Xiaotian would go to Fan Zifu's class after the holidays.

Xiaowu followed Xiaotian, so Xiaowu's yard was empty.

This way they are closer to Xiaotian's yard, so it will be more convenient for them to study.

This was Shen Xia’s first time celebrating the New Year in ancient times, and she didn’t know what to do, so she could only follow everyone.

Looking at a large table full of rich dinner.

Sighing, he recalled how he looked when he first came to the Song family.

Compared with now, it's really like heaven and earth.

Everyone was very happy.

Thinking that Li Yi was a lonely man, I let him go with everyone.

Zhao Xue and Zhao Xin had gone home a long time ago.

At the table were Song's mother, Shen Xia, Song Ming, Song Jin, Song Yun, Xiao Wu and Xiao Tianli, eating together.

Shen Xia also usually asked Li Yi to teach Xiaowu, Xiaotian and Song Yun martial arts.

As a result, Song Yun said that he didn't need to learn, so he could only teach Song Jin, Song Ming, Xiaotian, Xiaowu and others.

Shen Xia was curious, could it be that Song Yun had martial arts skills?

Not necessarily, after all, Song Yun has lived longer than himself.

Li Yi was as quiet as ever and left after finishing his meal.

In fact, Shen Xia knew that Li Yi's identity was not simple, just looking at the injuries on his body.

I've seen it before when I was treating his injuries.

Shen Xia didn't care about him. He was always indifferent anyway, so Shen Xia wouldn't think too much about it.

After dinner, everyone stayed up all night in the hall.

It's not cold because there is a fire wall in the hall.

We took some snacks and made some tea, and sat together.

Shen Xia glanced at everyone, there were seven people in total.

Shen Xia simply took out two boxes of cards and played the game together.

Because there are too many people, one box is not enough.

Otherwise, how boring would it be to just sit and keep watch?

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Sister, are you going to play a game?"

Shen Xia nodded: "Everyone sit at a table, we will play games while keeping watch."

Mother Song said worriedly, "Xia Xia, you are in poor health, so you don't need to stay up all night."

"Mom, I'm fine. Playing cards can cure all diseases."

Xiaotian laughed beside him.

Song Ming also laughed and said, "Xia Xia, you always have a lot of crooked ideas."

Shen Xia glanced at Song Ming: "Second brother bullied me,"

Song Ming shook his head: "No, Xia Xia is our family's treasure."

Shen Xia looked at Song Yun: "Fourth brother is coming too."

Song Yun nodded: "Okay."

Shen Xia then smiled and said, "Fourth brother must help me beat third brother, he always beat me last time."

Song Jin laughed and said, "Xia Xia, you really hold a grudge. You still remember something that happened so long ago."

"Of course. It's because of the cession of territory and the payment of indemnity. How can you not remember it?"

Xiao Wu asked curiously, "What does ceding land and paying compensation mean?"

Shen Xia was embarrassed.

Song Jin smiled and said, "You'll understand when you grow up."

Xiao Wu curled his lips: "After the New Year, I will be thirteen years old, not young anymore."

Shen Xia quickly interrupted the topic: "Let me tell you the rules. We are going to play the game of who is the little turtle. Whoever has the last card in his hand and cannot hand it over is the turtle, and then he will have to put a note on his face."

"You can write on the note. Let's try it out first."

"Okay!" Xiaotian said with a smile.

After Shen Xia shuffled the cards, he picked up a card that no one knew about and hid it without looking at it.

Then the cards are dealt.

"After you look at the cards, take out any two identical cards and any four identical cards with the same number. You all know the Arabic numerals, and take out the same letter cards as well. Remember, take out the even numbers, for example, take out two cards if you have three cards. If there are five identical cards, take out four identical cards. Don't look at the pattern, just look at the numbers and letters on them."

Shen Xia spoke while giving examples.

We are all smart people and will understand it in a short while. What’s more, it’s simple.

Shen Xia looked at Song's mother: "Mom, do you understand?"

Song's mother smiled and said, "I understand."

Then Shen Xia taught everyone to take the card below in clockwise order.

As long as you have no cards in your hand, you quit, and the last few people draw.

The one who is unable to hand over any cards in the end is the turtle.

You have to post two strips for each loss, otherwise everyone has to post one, and then you have to post six strips for each loss.

Too much.

After everyone played it once and understood it, we officially began.

Everyone was very happy because it was the first time that there was a game that everyone could play together.

This has to do with luck, and it doesn't require any technical content, so the first time

Shen Xia lost unexpectedly, it was so embarrassing.

Then Song Jin and Xiao Wu each wrote a note and stuck it on Shen Xia's face.

Shen Xia said she wanted to take a look at what they had written, but they wouldn't let her see it. However, Shen Xia remembered it in her heart.

I'll have to post more with both of them later.

Then continue.

till the end.

Shen Xia looked at the notes on everyone's face.

Only the fourth brother got the last one, and he only had two.

Song's mother also has a few.

The most visible one is the third brother Song Jin, whose only two eyes can be seen.

Ha ha--

And Xiaowu,

Xiaotian didn't lose much either.

Song Ming also had a lot on his face, but not as many as Song Jin.

Shen Xia felt so good that she had finally gotten her revenge.

As a result, I heard the sound of firecrackers outside.

Shen Xia looked at everyone with a happy face: "Happy New Year——"
