Chapter 374
"Please! It's 30 night." Chen's lips raised slightly and looked at Qi Yaoyao and smiled, "Let's invite Dongdong and his grandfather to come back for the New Year. As for ancestor worship, it's a matter of the clan, so we don't have to worry about it." He said sarcastically, "No matter how women worship, women don't even have the qualifications to enter the ancestral hall."
Qi Yaoyao smirked when she heard this, and asked deliberately, "Dongdong's grandfather celebrates the New Year with us, or among the Hui people!"
Chen's eyes turned slightly and stared at her and said, "Daughter-in-law, you did it on purpose!"
Qi Yaoyao said seriously, "This is a very realistic problem!"
"No matter if he loves to come, I'll be fine if I don't come." Chen said very simply, "He has not been here for so many years, and we have also made it. Without him, we have to live our own life."
"Yes! The sun rises as usual." Qi Yaoyao said with a bright smile in her eyes.
"Don't worry about my daughter-in-law, this is our father's business. If you want him to come to me, I will talk to that enemy carefully," Chen pointed at himself and said boldly, "You! Look at Dongdong, don't scare him suddenly."
"I know." Qi Yaoyao nodded with a smile, "It really doesn't work, I stuff cotton into my ears."
"No need, just cover your ears. I'll let Lu Ming stay away." Chen said with a gentle smile at the eldest grandson in her arms.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and Pomegranate prepared a reunion dinner for noon and the food was set on the table.
"It's noon, won't Lu Ming come back yet?" Chen looked at the fragrant meal on the table.
"Lu Ming is paying the bill for those students!" Pomegranate said with a smile on his face.
"I don't know how much money I can earn when I'm busy?" Chen said with some concern, "Don't have a waste of time."
"No, look at Lu Ming's happy look, he will definitely make a lot of money." Pomegranate said with great confidence.
"I'm back." Lu Ming opened the curtain and walked in.
"I came just right. Madam wants to know how much you have earned these days?" Pomegranate stepped forward and helped him take off his cloak, hat, and scarf and hung it on the clothes hanger.
"I earned five hundred taels of silver." Lu Ming happily put the bag on the Eight Immortals table.
"How many?" Chen opened the curtain excitedly and said, looking at Lu Ming.
"Five hundred taels." Lu Mingmei looked at her with a smile, "Of course we have to eliminate the one hundred taels given by his wife."
"No, why is this so much money? Don't you just add Spring Festival couplets?" Chen said to him in disbelief, sitting on the ring chair next to the Eight Immortals table and asked, "How much do you sell for one?"
"Ten copper plates." Lu Ming smiled and stretched out his hands.
"So cheap." Chen said in surprise.
"We sell a lot, not only Pingyi County has made a lot of money, but Nanyi County has also sold a lot of money." Lu Ming said with joy.
"Why did this sell so much?" Chen calculated by his fingers.
"This family has more than one door-to-door poster! This family can also have at least two or three pictures." Lu Ming said with a smile at her.
"How many of you wrote it?" Qi Yaoyao asked curiously.
"Twenty people." Lu Ming turned his head and looked at the bedroom and bowed, "That, madam, young lady, I gave them fifteen taels of silver each. They have worked hard all these days, and their wrists are sore. The family who wrote Spring Festival couplets has lived a very hard life."
"I'm leaving the matter to you, you have the full responsibility." Qi Yaoyao smiled when she heard this.
Lu Ming untied the burden on the table, "This is two hundred taels with the capital and the profit."
The white silver was placed in front of Chen's eyes, and she looked into the room and said, "How can I decide on my daughter-in-law?"
"Okay!" Qi Yaoyao said with a smile when she heard this.
"I'll get this cash back, and I'll give you this hundred taels." Chen's dark eyes looked at him.
"This is not possible, no, this is the young lady's suggestion, I'm just running errands!" Lu Ming waved his hand and looked at her and said seriously.
Chen's eyes turned around after hearing this, "Then, we have done small business before, you know the geometry of Lier. How about I want 20% of Lier?" He patted the Eight Immortals table and said, "It's settled."
"Madam, we are the biggest Lier in small business, but 40% of it." Lu Ming defended in a low voice.
"We have done too many business deals, and it's okay to average it!" Chen looked at him with a funny look and said, "You still have to take the imperial examination! You are not willing to be honest with money."
"Okay then!" Lu Ming agreed.
Chen divided the ingots for a while, "Hurry up the rest, let's set off firecrackers to have dinner immediately."
"Okay!" Lu Ming tied the bag directly and placed it on the table, "Where is the firecrackers! I'll go set off the firecrackers."
"Here!" Pomegranate handed him the firecrackers, "Go and set fire."
Lu Ming said happily, "I'll go now." He took the firecrackers and opened the curtain and left the main house.
Chen couldn't hold the ingot with both hands, so he directly put the ingot into the bedroom with the apron that had not been untied.
Qi Yaoyao looked at Chen who came in like this and shook her head and laughed, "You are really awesome to get two more trips."
"I can't hold this hand!" Chen put the silver ingot directly on the kang table, "They are going to fire, and their daughter-in-law quickly covered Dongdong's ears."
The pomegranate shouted outside with a burning fire stick, "Have the firecrackers been hung?"
"Hang it." Lu Ming stood at the moon gate and replied.
"Then I'm here." Pomegranate walked through the yard with a fire stick, "Mrs. Young lady, we're going to fire a fire."
Qi Yaoyao covered Dongdong's ears with both hands and raised her voice and said, "Let's go!"
"I'll do some." Lu Ming stretched out his hand and looked at the fire stick in the pomegranate's hand and said.
"But I want to order it." Pomegranate said, "The fire stick in his hand."
"Aren't you afraid of jumping at you?" Lu Ming asked worriedly at her.
"Not afraid, this fire stick is long enough, and I will run faster and will not jump to mine." The pomegranate's delicate phoenix eyes looked at him with confidence.
"Okay, please order!" Lu Ming smiled and stepped aside.
The pomegranate trembled with the firecrackers. After igniting them, she threw the firecrackers directly, covered her ears in panic and turned her head and ran away.
The crackling sound of firecrackers suddenly started. Because Dongdong was there, the firecrackers were not long and they were put out soon.
Lu Ming reached out and waved the smell of sulfur in front of him, bent down to pick up the pomegranate and fell down to the fire stick.
Pomegranate looked at Lu Ming coming in with a fire stick, and embarrassedly stuck out his tongue, "You'd better let it go!" Then he urged, "Wash your hands and have dinner."
"Wow... so rich." Lu Ming washed his hands and sat at the Eight Immortals table, "Six dishes."
"Six and six great success." Pomegranate smiled and handed him the chopsticks and jujube flower cake.
Six dishes look a lot, but not much.
