Chapter 72 - New Year
Lee's cooked a few dishes, some of them were meat dishes. Mo Da Lin looked at the dishes on the table, they were even more sumptuous than the ones he ate at home during New Year's Eve.
Mo Xiao Yan thought about going to the town to set up a stall tomorrow, but didn't know if he should go with his father.
After eating breakfast in the morning, Mo Xiao Yan thought about it but still opened his mouth, "Father, we are going to set up a stall in the town today, do you want to go and take a look as well? Anyway, we already have an oxcart at home, so it's quite convenient to go back and forth. "
"Sure, dad thinks so too." Last night, Lee's told Mo Da Lin that, so he wanted to go with them to the town to see if he could help in any way.
They arrived at the town together and set up a stall. Then, someone slowly came to buy it.
After this day, he had also earned a lot of money. Mo Da Lin saw that his family's days were getting better and better, and was very happy in his heart.
Time passed quickly, and soon, it was New Year.
"Mom, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Let's go buy some delicious food after we finish collecting the food." Mo Xiao Yan thought that since it was the new year, he should buy more delicious food for a sumptuous year.
"Sure, buy more meat. Mom will cook some delicious dishes for all of you." It was good enough for the rural poor to have meat to eat.
The few of them busily packed their stalls as Lee's brought Mo Xiao Yan and Mo Xiao Xia to buy New Year's gifts.
After buying a lot of things, they bought some vegetables, pork, two roosters, and some pastries. In the end, they couldn't think of any other things that were missing, so they walked towards the ox-cart with their stuff.
By the time it was New Year's Eve, the whole family had woken up very early.
Mo Lin Yu and Mo Da Lin both woke up early in the morning and cleaned up the entire house.
Mo Xiao Yan and Mo Xiao Xia naturally followed Lee's and worked in the kitchen. During the New Year, Mo Xiao Yan felt that his mood was very good.
In the morning, the whole family only ate a few simple meals, and only the afternoon was the most sumptuous meal. Mo Xiao Yan was also really looking forward to it.
After eating breakfast, Mo Lin Yu and Mo Da Lin continued to clean the house.
As for Lee's, Mo Xiao Yan and the others, they naturally began to busy themselves with preparation for the food they would eat in the afternoon.
He prepared meat and vegetables along with a few plates of stir-fry, and even made a pot of bone soup.
Of course, they could only start their meal after offering sacrifices to their ancestors.
After Mo Da Lin finished offering sacrifices to the ancestor, dinner was served at home.
As for Lee's, Mo Xiao Yan and the others, they were eating a bowl of bone soup. As they ate, the happy scenes of their family was very warm.
After finishing their meal, Mo Xiao Yan and Mo Xiao Xia helped clear the dishes on the table. Lee's let them go play while he washed the dishes in the kitchen.
Mo Xiao Yan took out the snack he bought in town yesterday and placed it on the table. The few of them had just finished eating and were eating pastries again, so there was a new year atmosphere.
On New Year's Eve, they had to stay for the year. After eating and resting for a while, Mo Da Lin went to get some firewood.
The whole family sat in a circle, each of them holding some pastries and eating, talking about family matters. At this moment, Mo Xiao Yan felt that this house was truly blissful and warm.
After a few hours, the sky was probably about to brighten, and Mo Xiao Yan was really sleepy, so he went to his room to sleep.
In the morning, Mo Xiao Xia was the one who woke her up. At this time, Mo Xiao Yan was so tired that she couldn't even open his eyes.
Today was the first day of the new year, so Mo Xiao Yan was no longer lazy to sleep.
After eating breakfast, Mo Da Lin said to Lee's: "It's getting late, let's go kowtow to father and mother."
After packing up, the family went over to the two old men's room with some things in their hands.
At this time, Old Master Mo and the others had just finished their breakfast, and were waiting for their descendants to come and kneel down. After they finished kowtowing, Mo Xiao Yan, Mo Xiao Xia and the others were even given a red packet by the Old Master Mo.
After Mo Xiao Xia received the red packet, she was elated.
After that, the family carried their things and went to Old Mo's house. At this time, Mo Chun Lan and Mo Zhi Yuan were eating a snack, and when they saw Mo Xiao Yan and his family come over, they didn't even greet them.
Only Mo Da Lu came out to greet them, as the people in this house clearly did not welcome Mo Xiao Yan and his family. Mo Da Lin knew this too, so he put down his things and left after chatting for a while.
After Mo Xiao Yan and his family returned, Yao Gui Hua opened up all those things to have a look. There were some valuable things she took with him as if they were treasures.
On the way home, he met a lot of people who were preparing to pay their New Year respects.
"Xiao Yan, have you gone to pay respects to your male milk?" a woman asked.
"Yes, Auntie, you're also going to pay New Year respects?" Mo Xiao Yan smiled and greeted his.
"Yeah." The woman replied.
"Good new year, Aunt." Mo Xiao Yan was saying his New Year's words.
"Hur hur, happy new year."
Along the way, they met quite a few people who greeted them. The atmosphere of the New Year was very lively.
"What kind of dishes do you guys want to eat in the afternoon?" Lee's returned home and asked.
Each of them talked about the dishes they wanted to eat. They had been busy for a year, so they ate and drank well every New Year's Eve.
In the afternoon, Lee's cooked another large table of food. Mo Xiao Yan ate all of the meat at once, feeling a little sick and panicked, he only ate some vegetables.
After dinner, the family sat in the living room and chatted.
"Dad, mom, I want to check the town and see if there are any shops I want to rent after the new year. I think our barbeque business is doing pretty well right now, so I want to expand and rent a shop." Mo Xiao Yan spoke out his thoughts.
"Is this rental shop very expensive?" Lee's was worried about the money first.
"I don't know either. We'll find out when we get back to town. If the price is right, we'll rent it. It'll be much more convenient." Mo Xiao Yan thought that he could expand the store's facade by renting a shop, and the business would definitely be even better than before.
"Alright, then we'll go and find out when the time comes." Mo Da Lin also supported Mo Xiao Yan's idea.
It was not that the Lee's did not support it, but that he was worried that it would be too expensive.
In fact, year after year passed by quite quickly. Unknowingly, he had already been here for more than half a year. This was the start of a new year.
Since they hadn't slept much last night, the family slept early tonight.
The days passed one by one, and this year was finally over.
Lee's started to get busy and prepared to set up his stall. Mo Xiao Yan had had enough fun these past few days, and after this year, it was time to set up his stall in town. At that time, he would ask him about renting a shop.
The next morning, he woke up early in the morning and went to the stall in the town. The stall selling steamed buns had already been set up.
"Dacheng, how are you doing in the new year? Why did you come so early to set up your stall?" The Lee's greeted.
"We're having a good time, aunty. Why are you here today? We started setting up our stalls a few days ago." Wang Da Cheng said with an honest expression.
