Chapter 102： new year is coming

That afternoon, Mrs. Shawin took Veria into town.

Hearing that Willy was going to take Veria to Lord Baron's New Year's dinner, Mrs. Shawin made a budget for ten silver rams. Although she was also very distressed, she also knew that Willy couldn't be embarrassed because of Veria's dress. After all, the current Willy's identity has been greatly different from the original one. He is a prominent figure in Diamond Town.

When Mrs. Shawin returned with Veria in the evening, Veria's face was filled with a smile that was even brighter than the setting sun in the sky.

Her mother, Mrs. Shawin, personally selected a pure white winter dress for her, with delicate lace and hollow patterns embellished on it. This is the most beautiful dress she has worn since she was born.

She carefully placed her clothes on the head of her bed, and then uncharacteristically took the initiative to do housework and learn to cook with Mrs. Shawin.

Seeing Veria's performance, Willy's heart also has an inexplicable warmth.

While Mrs. Shawin and Veria were cooking, Willy chose to go out and stroll around the village.

The heavy snow had stopped at noon, but even if there was a little sunshine, it still couldn't melt the snow on the ground by half. No way, the weather is too cold.

Willy's leather boots left a deep footprint on the snow. As he walked, he looked at the house beside Fandoutun Road.

As the New Year approached, the people in the villages hung out sun-dried meat pieces, frozen dough cakes, and some other foods in front of their doors. This is a custom in the area of ​​Diamond Town, which means that everyone expects to harvest abundant food in the new year.

In some homes with children, a snowman is built in the yard, and the dough is placed directly in the snowman's hand.

Through the setting sun on the horizon and the snow-reflected ground, Willy clearly felt the tranquility and simplicity of Fandoutun.

"Lord Tunchang!"

Old Joel and Aden's cheeks and noses were flushed with cold, and they were rushing home when they met Willy on the way.

Old Joel grinned as he faced Willy, showing his charred teeth. With the new year approaching, he also felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

Not to mention the fact that the fragmented village was rebuilt into a more prosperous and vibrant Fandoutun, just thinking of the changes in his own family, Old Yoel really felt the meaning of the word happiness.

Fandoutun changed the living conditions of the old Yoel family.

Originally, when I was in the village, my family had to worry about how to survive. Fighting against pests, fighting against hunger, even though there is land, but cannot be cultivated because of pests, life is very heavy almost every day.

But now, old Joel's son and daughter-in-law, Aden's parents, have been in charge of the work on the fields, and they have a sense of peace of mind when they see the mature sweet beans and Xingbanxuegen.

Old Joel himself acted as the big housekeeper of Fandou Village, and he assisted Lake in many affairs in the village. It can be said that he is now the most prestigious person in the village besides the Willy family.

As for Aden, because he is valued by the colonists, he is also respected by other colonists. He follows Old Joel all day long, and runs errands whenever Willy has an order. Joel instructed to work in rotation in Fandoutun. Although tired, it has grown a lot.

The old Yoel family is the epitome of Fandoutun.

Even if he cast aside Willy's [Prestige] skill halo, he has gained the respect from the bottom of the heart of the settlers.

"I was looking for you."

Willie also took two steps forward.

"Lord Tunchang, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Old Joel said with a smile.

Aden, who was behind him, also nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Before the butcher shop closes, go to Diamond Town tomorrow to buy some meat and distribute it to the families in the village."

Willy instructed: "As for how much to buy and how to distribute it, you can decide for yourself."

The current Fandou Tun has special financial income, which mainly comes from the deposit of the Duval family to buy Xingbanxuegen, and they gave a full 100 gold rams.

Of the hundred gold rams, 10% of them, that is, ten gold rams, were handed over to Baron Kells. Baron Kells was quite merciful to Willy, charging only a 10% tax. In the entire Diamond Town, only the villages of Willy and Ole have this treatment.

The remaining 90%, 10% of which is the remuneration of the villagers, has been distributed to each family. The population of Fandoutun is not large, and these ten gold rams are distributed to everyone, which is also a lot of income for the commoners.

As for the rest, 60% is the private property of the Fei Lun family, and 20% is used as the financial income of Fandou Village.

Now that the New Year is approaching, it is time to give full play to the role of this batch of fiscal revenue.

Appropriate welfare will condense the hearts of the villagers and make them feel more of belonging to Fandou Village.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tunchang, I will definitely handle it."

Old Joel's face wrinkled with a smile.

He originally wanted to give Willi this suggestion, but he hesitated for a long time and didn't say it. Willy's talent and kindness have completely won the respect of old Joel.

"Let's go, I'll walk around the village alone."

Willie waved his hand.

"Should I accompany you?"

Old Joel said.

Willie waved his hand, indicating no need, he really wanted to experience this simple and peaceful atmosphere by himself.

In the next hour, Willy walked around in the village. He walked very slowly and walked to the village. After seeing that the sky was getting dark, he was about to return home.

However, before he took two steps, he heard the gradual sound of hoofs and a familiar voice calling his name.

"Willy!"

It was Thorpes' voice.

Willie looked back, and saw Thorps galloping on his horse with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Willy smiled and went forward.

Thorpes restrained the horse and jumped off.

"Why did you come back?"

In fact, this is Willy's well-intentioned question.

As a rookie in the Guards, Thorps will definitely not have a New Year's holiday this year. The reason why he can come back must be the operation of Sandor. He is a quick-witted guy, and naturally it is impossible for the vice-captain's own brother to work hard in the new year.

"A ten-day New Year's holiday was approved above, so I hurried back."

Thorps also said with a smile that he didn't feel restrained because Willy became his boss's boss. Facing Willy, he was still the big brother he used to be.

"Go back quickly, if father and mother know that you are back, they will be very happy!"

Willie Thorpes moved his horse and walked towards the house.
