After Laba Festival, the Yan Family began to prepare for the Chinese New Year.
The first branch was the busiest, Yan Zhigao had to go to his official duties, and Madam Li had to manage the household affairs and prepare New Year's gifts for various families, hardly having any free time throughout the day.
The second branch also had its own private properties, and apart from Sun Family's dowry, the income from Daohua farmland and shops had been quite substantial over the years, and they had gradually acquired some more farmland and shops. At the end of the year, Madam Sun also needed to check the accounts.
Even the third branch, which had the thinnest family foundation, added some farmland and shops this year due to Yan Wentao's dividends from the Glass Factory, as he had been bringing silver home every month.
Seeing that her eldest son was becoming more and more promising, Madam Wu was also learning how to manage the shops properly.
