Chapter 302： When people are prosperous, families are prosperous

Chapter 302: The people are prosperous and the family is prosperous

 Before closing the city gate, Li Laoer and his son hurried back to Suijintan.

The family was waiting for them to have dinner. They heard that the yard was bought and Mr. Wen had settled in. The old lady was very happy, "Mr. Wen is too polite and didn't say anything when he had something to do. If he had known that his family was like this, we would have helped him a long time ago." I'm afraid Tianwu will be the only one to go to court from the inn."

Everyone also nodded.

"In a few days, let's go and have a look. Do we need to add something to the yard? Mr. Wen only has Wen Hai next to him. I'm afraid he won't be able to take good care of him."

“Okay, bring some of the meat sauce, pickles, radishes, cabbage, smoked rabbit, etc. from home.”

“Do you also need two sets of bedding?”

"It's better to make two new sets. They shouldn't be too thin. It's not quite warm today, and there are no kangs in the city, and the bed is cold."

"I'm afraid two sets of bedding are not enough. In a few days we will go to the city to see the lights, and we will have to stay one night."

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were very attentive, and the more they talked, the more they felt that there were a lot of things to prepare.

The two sisters were very busy and packed up a lot of things before going to bed.

Those who needed to buy were also made a list.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the Lantern Festival has arrived.

According to the old rules, the New Year is not fully celebrated until the Lantern Festival. Every household has to be busy with their livelihood in the new year and no longer has the time to play.

So, on the Lantern Festival, men, women, old and young seem to want to seize the last bit of madness and have fun.

Just after noon, the streets of Xindu were busy with people coming and going.

The Li family members entrusted their yard to the villagers and took a carriage into the city.

The old couple have moved out of the original house. Because the nephew does not live too close to the house, it is inconvenient to move, so many of the household items and wooden utensils cannot be taken away.

Mr. Wen decided to give them ten taels of silver and kept them all.

So, this yard has become a move-in-all option.

Li Laoer made two trips before and delivered bedding, rice, grains, vegetables, etc. Now there is really no shortage of anything.

Mr. Wen still lives in the wing room. Even after the old couple moved out, they did not move to the main room.

And because the Li family was coming, he took Wen Hai with him and specially cleaned the main house and the west wing.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru accompanied the old lady to look around the front and back yards, and then got busy making dinner.

The old lady took her grandchildren, opened the back door, and played at the door.

Sun Fu's family wanted to make good friends with the Li family, so Sun Fu's daughter-in-law immediately opened the door and came out to chat and laugh.

When the neighbors heard the commotion, they all came out one after another to recognize the person.

I heard that the Li family belongs to Suijintan. Some people asked if the hot springs were really hot enough to boil eggs. Others asked if Suijintan would grow jade melons and golden fruits this year.

The old lady responded with a smile, and also asked about where to buy groceries nearby and which grocery store had a good reputation.

As everyone listened, they felt that the Li family was more and more harmonious, and they soon started chatting and laughing together.

When the Marquis brought Ye Shan to find this place, the old lady was talking to her neighbors about the war and chaos when the capital was moved, which made everyone sigh.

Brother Mao was playing with some naughty boys nearby, Brother Li was accompanying Jiaren to entertain Lei Bolin, who came after hearing the news, and Jiahuan Jiaxi had already disappeared, and he didn’t know where he was nearby. "Adventure"!

Jiayin leaned on her grandma's arms, listening to the old people chatting with a smile, and occasionally yawned.

When she found out that the Marquis had arrived, she happily ran over to greet him, "Father!"

The Marquis squatted down, hugged her, and asked with a smile: "Are you impatient? Let's set off after dinner." "Okay!" Jiayin happily hugged her adoptive father's neck.

Even Brother Cat ran over and grabbed the Marquis by the collar.

So, the Marquis held one in his arms and held the other in his hand, walked to the door and greeted the old lady, "Auntie, am I not late?"

"No, Hongying and the others are cooking. Let's leave after eating." The old lady introduced to many new neighbors, "This is my nephew. He is busy on weekdays and doesn't come here often. If something happens in the future, you can help me take care of him." In a few minutes, when the fruits in my orchard are harvested, I will give you some more as a thank you gift."

The neighbors all laughed and said, "Okay, for the sake of the fruit, we have to help."

At this time, Jia Huan ran out to say, “Grandma, it’s time to serve dinner.”

The old lady got up, said goodbye to her neighbors, and took a group of children and grandchildren home for dinner.

The neighbors looked at it with envy and couldn't help but sigh with envy.

It is good when the population is prosperous and the life is lively.

Lei Bolin had long heard that Jiaren said that the food at home was delicious. Now that Jiaren invited him, he shamelessly came in.

Sun Fu’s daughter-in-law saw her and wanted to greet her nephew, but Sun Fu snatched her away.

The family bought a new yard and went to the city to play again. Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were happy. They made six dishes and one soup and steamed snow-white rice.

The family, old and young, plus Mr. Hou and Ye Shan, Doctor Zhang who came to play with them, and Lei Bolin, a total of more than ten people, filled two tables.

Brothers Li Lao and several others sat with the Marquis, Mr. Wen, and Doctor Zhang, and they also added an extra jug of wine.

Rebolin's mouth was full of oil as he ate, and he kept praising him, making everyone laugh.

After dinner and a quick digestion, it was getting dark outside. Lei Bolin said goodbye and went home to look for his parents and watch the lanterns together.

Everyone in the Li family also planned to set off, but there were too many children at home, so the old lady temporarily divided them among them.

Li Lao Er and Jia Ren took Brother Li, Li Lao San and his family of four took Mao Geer, and Li Lao Si and his wife took Jia An and accompanied the old lady.

And the good news must be accompanied by the Marquis, and Ye Shan will accompany him to serve him.

As for Divine Doctor Zhang, he had already left early, so everyone did not need to worry about the old man's safety.

Think about the rabbits, goats, and even piglets that have been killed in the village in the past few months. It would be great if this old man did not harm others!

Master Hou booked a private room in advance at the largest restaurant in the shopping street, right in the middle of the lantern market.

The old and young people rushed over and opened the windows to have a panoramic view of the lanterns all over the street.

The children were very lively. After eating snacks, they went out to play.

Soon, the Marquis was the only one left in the house with the old lady and Jiayin, and Ye Shan guarded the door.

It was the first time for the old lady to see such a bustling street scene, and she couldn't help but sigh, "When I was in Saibei, I really didn't know there was such a beautiful place in the world. I just thought that the mountains covered with snow in the winter sunset were beautiful enough. Come on! It’s better to go out and broaden your horizons, then you’ll know how great a place Tianwu is!”

Jiayin grabbed the window sill and tried her best to lean out and look out. The Marquis was afraid that she would fall, so he hugged her waist and replied with a smile: "When we get settled in the future, I will take my aunt and Fu Niu to travel for a year and a half." , look at our beautiful mountains and rivers in Tianwu!”

The old lady quickly waved her hand, "Let's take Fu Niu. I don't want to struggle with my old bones anymore. I struggled from outside the Great Wall to Junyang, and then from Junyang to here, and half of my life is gone. Now, I just hope that everyone is doing well and living a peaceful life.”

The Marquis stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Let's go, my adoptive father will take you down to guess lantern riddles and win a few lanterns."

“Okay, okay!” Jiayin was happy and went to call grandma again.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.
