Chapter 448: The powerful unite and become as rich as the enemy!
When Jiayin saw Dongmei waving her hand, she hugged her grandma and said, "Grandma, you keep these things and give them to others or eat at our house. It's up to you. I'll go to my foster father's yard to play for a while."
After saying that, she raised her legs and ran to the next door.
Master Hou has been in the city these days, and the yard is very quiet.
Dongmei put the account book and the small box in the side room and went to work.
Leave good news and open the box. The golden light is dazzling, but tears flow from the corners of your mouth...
You must visit Zhengjiazhuang if you have the chance in the future!
What kind of fairy village is this? The benefits in one year are almost as good as those in the Hot Spring Valley, which is a full four hundred taels of gold!
They are already some skilled craftsmen. If we add her "fantastic ideas", wouldn't it be possible to join forces with powerful forces and become richer than the country?
Wahahahaha, get rich, get rich!
Not to mention the good news, which was happily rolling around on the bed next door, even Mrs. Li couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear in front of the piles of New Year's goods.
"My third daughter-in-law, take Wenjuan to pickle the duck eggs and goose eggs. After the Chinese New Year, you can take some with you when you go back to Luo'an. If you can't make it in time for lunch, make some porridge for the boys. One salted egg for each person. Dismissed."
Mrs. Li smiled and assigned tasks to her daughter-in-law, and then said, "Hongying, some wild boar meat will be distributed to the villagers later. We will keep one venison in our family, and the other will be divided between the Liu family and the Peng family. Mr. Wen and There is no need for Jinrou, they all agreed to come to our house to celebrate the New Year.
“Also distribute some dried mushrooms to each family in the village. Put a handful when stewing the chicken, it tastes good. It’s a pity that mushrooms don’t grow on the two hills of our Suijintan!”
While talking, Mr. Hou and Li Laosi came back from the city.
Seeing that the old and young ladies at home were busy packing things, the Marquis smiled and said, "Is this Ye Shan and Dong Mei back?"
"Yes, Mr. Marquis, Zhuangzi has given away a lot of things. I wonder if the farmers have left more for themselves? They have been busy for a year, and they should have a good New Year." Mrs. Li is kind-hearted and always I felt that I had reaped the rewards of other people's hard work for a year, and I felt bad.
The Marquis waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, in the past few years, Zhuangzi also gave me this gift. They know it, and it's enough for the New Year."
After finishing speaking, he changed his subject and added, "I asked for leave from the emperor. During the Chinese New Year, you and Fu Niu'er don't have to attend the palace banquet. There is no need to go to the palace to kowtow on the first day of the new year. You can just spend the New Year at home."
Sure enough, Mrs. Li was even happier, "Seriously? That's great! It's not that we don't respect the emperor, it's just that we don't understand the rules and are afraid of making mistakes. Let Aunt He teach us well in the new year, so we have to learn the rules. ”
After chatting for a few more times, Jiayin ran back from the next door after hearing the news. She threw herself into the Marquis's arms and asked over and over again, "Father, foster father, have you given the new year's gift to Uncle Huang?" "
"I gave it away. Your uncle is very happy." The Marquis hugged the fat girl and sat on his lap, smiling. "He also said that those good things were not given to him in vain, and your little niece also knows that she cares about him."
“Then, what?” Jiayin blinked her big eyes, glanced left and right, but she couldn’t see anything good in her adoptive father’s hand, so she drooped her head in disappointment.
The Marquis laughed heartily and took out a pair of mutton-fat jade Ruyi from his arms. Each one was about the size of a palm, and the whole body was milky white. Only the peony flower carved on Ruyi's head was slightly red.
The sunlight outside the window shines through the cracks in the window and onto Ruyi, making it radiant and beautiful.
“Oh, is this for me?” The good news is like a seedling that has received manna, and it immediately sprouts.
She hugged Yu Ruyi and jumped up and down with joy, causing Mrs. Li to catch her with her hands and scold, "Little ancestor, be careful, don't drop such a good thing!"
Jiayin held Yu Ruyi in each hand, as if holding dumbbells, hehehehe, shaking his head and tail, danced a dance of demons, and then ran away.
Needless to say, he ran away and hid secretly.
Everyone was laughing, but no one said they wanted to get Yu Ruyi.
Wenjuan saw this and once again had a clear understanding of how favored her sister-in-law was.
The Marquis glanced at her and felt relieved when he saw that her eyes were full of envy and curiosity, but not jealousy.
It was New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye. Because the Marquis, Li Laoer, and Mr. Wen all had to go to the palace for a banquet in the evening, the Li family’s reunion dinner was held at noon. It had been discussed in advance that the village chief and Aunt Wu would also eat with the Li family this time, so they came over early.
Including Uncle Zhao and others, Mr. Jiang brought Gu Li, Mr. Wen brought Wen Hai, Mrs. Cui brought Sister-in-law Qiong, and Dr. Zhang, Li Yong's family of four, totaling nearly 40 people.
Only Liu Biaotou's family didn't come because they wanted to have a family reunion with the addition of a fat boy.
The Li family directly opened four tables for banquets, two tables in the east room were occupied by women and children, and two tables in the west room and the main room were divided among the old and young men who liked drinking.
Tao Hongying and Jia Huan tried their best to cook all their favorite dishes, and even included new dishes that had never been introduced in Cyclamen.
Everyone was satisfied with their meal, especially the old men, who were all half drunk, their faces glowing red, and they were very happy.
Looking back at the hard work of this year, and looking forward to the prospects of the new year, everyone will be serving the wine bowl more frequently.
I was worried that the Marquis and others would enter the palace, so the banquet would be dispersed before dark, otherwise I might be able to keep drinking until midnight.
The young and old men found a big bed and slept soundly to sober up.
The women watched over the naughty boys while making dumplings and chatting.
Jiayin ate very much to avoid feeling sleepy and fell asleep on the kang. It seemed that she was woken up by her grandma not long after.
Eating dumplings on New Year’s Eve is a habit they brought from the North.
My family likes to eat stuffed meat, but Good News is aiming for stuffed leek and egg, which is especially delicious on such a winter night.
Jiayin ate a dozen of them in one go and felt completely refreshed.
After everyone fell asleep in the middle of the night, she tossed and turned again, her big eyes as wide as bells.
Simply, she got up quietly, lay on the window sill, listened to the sound of wind and firecrackers outside, and secretly sighed.
Another year older, he is already a five-year-old boy!
If possible, she would rather never grow up.
There is no need to face the wind, frost, rain and snow of this world, no need to face those intrigues, no need to face hypocrisy, true evil.
She just wanted to protect her family, be a little pistachio, and live a warm and happy life.
It’s a pity that time will not stop because of anyone.
At dawn, a new year has arrived, and a new year has arrived.
The naughty boys of Jia An's family had no idea what their sister was struggling with. They were looking forward to this day with red eyes.
They got up early, changed into their coats and trousers, and before they even opened their eyes, they started kowtowing to the old men and uncles to pay New Year greetings, and then collected the "new year's money".
Jiayin followed behind and was helped up before he could kneel down.
She is the princess, who dares to accept her courtesy, not to mention that everyone is reluctant to let her knees touch the cold ground.
As a result, Jiayin's wallet bulged again, and she finally smiled.
It’s a pity that when the Marquis, Li Laoer and others came back from the palace, she wilted again!
