Chapter 247： Lunar New Year's eve

The latest website: Yunhe Academy's holiday time is a few days earlier than that of the various vassal vassals, and the time will be longer. The school will not start until the fifteenth.

Several boys have been happy every day since the holiday. Because the academy is on holiday, they can also have a good time. They don't have to go to school every day. The time is their own, and they can do whatever they want.

Huzi also came to the house every day to play football and build a snowman. A few people were not too cold, and they had a lot of fun.

They also kicked the ball to Zhou Cheng, who had just arrived at the yamen, and the frightened people hurriedly straightened their bodies, not daring to breathe.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Cheng caught the ball, put it at his feet, and kicked into the goal with one kick. He didn't blame them for playing in the snow. He smiled lightly and said, "Go to dinner, stop playing."

A few of them stuck their tongues out, and they didn't care about picking up the ball, so they quickly followed behind.

At the dining table, Zhou Chengcheng gave Pei Xiu the coupons for Ling Lumi and cloth, silk and cotton, and asked her to arrange a trolley to pull it tomorrow. After another two days, they will have a holiday, and they can go to the library to collect them in the two days before the holiday.

There is also a New Year's gift, which he will bring back after he leaves the office on the last day.

"With my official position, Lumi is one hundred and thirty denier a year. I heard that the growth of mulberry cotton is not good this year, and there is not enough cloth, silk and cotton to be distributed, so I will pay it off with silver."

Pei Xiu took it and said that she knew, and she would arrange someone to pick it up tomorrow.

On the second day, let Ding Bo finish sending them to the library and line up to get everything back.

After the housekeeper checked it out, he directly put it into the warehouse, and handed over the money to his wife by the way.

As the New Year was approaching, Pei Xiu doubled down on selling vegetables and bean sprouts. I plan to clear a wave of goods in the last few days, so that I can close for a few days, so that Uncle Cheng in the shop can also go back to the house to have a good New Year together.

This year is the first year that their family has an official status. It needs to be celebrated. Pei Xiu has already asked the people to clean the house in advance and hang the lanterns with colorful lanterns.

It also gave people one month's monthly money in advance as a New Year's red envelope. Therefore, everyone was beaming on the face and happy from the heart.

The government contributed funds and set up a table for them on New Year's Eve. It was placed in the kitchen, and the eleven servants of the whole family just sat at one table. They sold their bodies to the Zhou family at the same time, and they all have to work together in the future. Meeting is fate. Let them have fun together today, and they will have a more sense of belonging in the future.

Zhou Cheng was also very happy. Before the New Year's Eve dinner, he took the children to set off firecrackers. Hearing the crackling sound from the gate, everyone was smiling.

"Father, let me put one too, I'm not afraid!" The boss happily stood aside, watching the crackling of the firecrackers, his face flushed with the firelight.

Pei Xiu put on a cloak, stood aside with a smile, and covered Zhou Heng's ears.

He stood in front of his mother and twisted his body reluctantly. He wasn't afraid, but he found that he couldn't break free, so he could only stand upright in resignation, watching his father hand the fire book to his elder brother, and told him to be careful.

He was a little envious of his eldest brother. It was good to be the eldest brother. Dad now looks at the big brother, and he will teach him every time he is free. The eldest brother was also allowed to set off firecrackers, but unfortunately he was still young, otherwise Dad would definitely let him set off.

The second brother and Zhou Shan also eagerly approached, but unfortunately they were called by the mother, "You two are still young, you are not allowed to set off firecrackers until next year."

They were disappointed for a while, looking at the firecracker in the fire, listening to its sound, the smiles climbed back onto their little faces.

The boss ran to Pei Xiu's side after setting off the firecrackers, and said very excitedly, "Mother, the sound of firecrackers is so good, and everyone nearby is also setting off firecrackers. Everyone will be prosperous in the coming year."

She smiled and patted the boss on the shoulder, "Well, we will all be more prosperous in the coming year."

It took too much time to put a bunch of firecrackers together. Zhou Cheng simply ordered all the firecrackers that were going to be put out tonight. The sound became louder and overwhelmed the nearby residents.

After he put it away, he walked towards them with the two children in his arms, and then took Pei Xiu's hand, "Let's close the door and go into the house for dinner, and I'll take the rest with you tomorrow."

Pei Xiu looked at him affectionately, and said meekly, "Okay, let's all go in."

A few boys have become accustomed to their parents showing their affection from time to time, and they follow behind them honestly.

After entering the hall of the main courtyard, she took over the daughter from Sister Li's hand, and asked all the servants to step down, "You all go to the New Year's Eve dinner, you don't have to stay here."

After all the people left, the family happily had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhou Yong took the lead in pouring himself a glass of fruit wine and toasting his parents who have worked so hard for so many years, "Father and mother, Zhou Yong wishes you all the best in the new year, everything you want will come true, and we will be happy as a family."

"Okay." The two couples also poured wine, raised their glasses with a smile, and drank them all.

Today's Chinese New Year, Pei Xiu made an exception to allow them to drink a few cups to add to the fun. The fruit wine is sweet and not easy to get drunk.

Seeing this, the others also raised their glasses and said congratulatory idioms.

Zhou Heng's brain is very good, and the last congratulatory speech is not difficult for him. He is not afraid of not saying, "Father and mother, I wish you all love, longevity, good health, and prosperity to our family."

This can be said that the hearts of the husband and wife are on the heart, and Zhou Cheng also showed a smile. He was already in a good mood tonight.

He also raised a glass to them on a whim and said, "Our family is getting better and better. The future Zhou family still needs some support from you. You should study hard in the academy, and learn something more so that you won't go to me and your mother. rack your brains to make money to support you."

They nodded heavily, picked up the cups, stood up, and said in unison, "We will."

Pei Xiu looked at the father and son with a smile, and stood up together to have a drink.

"Okay~ Don't patronize drinking, eat some food first, and suppress the taste of wine. Don't think that fruit wine will not get you drunk, you are all still young." their favorite dishes.

They happily ate the dishes in their bowls, which was the best New Year's Eve meal they had eaten in so many years. Each of them prayed in their hearts that there will be today every year, and every year will have this day.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, they sat aside to talk.

After sitting for a while, they couldn't sit still. The boss suggested: "Mother, it's boring to sit, let's go get the chess pieces, and watch the age below."

"Go."

As soon as the words fell, they ran out like a gust of wind, and came back with two pieces of Go after a while.

"When did you buy Go?" Pei Xiu got up curiously and watched them divide the pieces.

She seldom cares about their daily chores now, leaving them to take care of them by themselves, with green pine and green bamboo taking care of them. She also occasionally invited Qingsong Qingzhu to ask questions, but they even bought Go.
