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 was 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 lot." I'm going to go to court from the inn, I'm afraid he's the only one who has Tianwu."
Everyone also nodded.
"In a few days, let's go and have a look. Do we need to add something to the yard? Wen Hai is the only one beside Mr. Wen. I'm afraid he won't take good care of him."
"Okay, the meat sauce at home, pickles, radishes, etc. Bring some cabbage, smoked rabbit, etc."
"Should we also bring two sets of bedding?"
"Let's make two new sets. They shouldn't be too thin. It's not too warm today, and in the city There is no kang, 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 lanterns, and we will have to stay one night."
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were attentive, and the more they talked, the more I feel like there are 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.
Therefore, on the Lantern Festival, men, women, old and young seem to want to seize the last bit of madness and have fun.
It was just after noon, and the streets of Xindu were busy with people coming and going.
Everyone in the Li family entrusted the yard to the villagers and took a carriage into the city.
The old couple had already moved out of the original house. Because the nephew didn't live too close to the house, it was inconvenient to move, so they couldn't take away many of the household items and wooden utensils.
Mr. Wen decided to give them ten taels of silver and kept them all.
Therefore, this yard has become a move-in ready property.
Li Laoer made two trips before and delivered bedding, rice, grains, vegetables, etc. Now he really doesn't lack anything.
Mr. Wen still lives in the wing room. Even after the old couple moved out, he did not change to the main room.
And because the Li family was coming, he took Wen Hai with him and specially cleaned the main room 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 was determined to make good friends with the Li family, and Sun Fu's wife immediately opened the door and came out to chat and joke.
Neighbors heard the noise and came out one after another to recognize the person.
I heard that the Li family belongs to Suijintan. Some people asked if the hot spring was really hot enough to boil eggs. Others asked whether 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 harmonious, and they soon started chatting and laughing together.
When the Marquis took 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's gossip with a smile, and occasionally yawned.
When she realized that Mr. Hou had arrived, she happily ran over to greet him, "Father!"
Mr. Hou knelt down, hugged her, and asked with a smile, "Are you impatient? After dinner, we will set off. "
"Okay!" Jiayin happily hugged her adoptive father's neck.
Even Brother Cat ran over and grabbed Mr. Hou 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, I'm not late, am I?"
"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 it a little more. 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, the family came out to say hello, "Grandma, it's time to start dinner."
The old lady got up and said goodbye to the neighbors. They brought 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's good when the population is prosperous and life is lively.
Lei Bolin had long heard that Jiaren said that the food at home was delicious. Now that Jiaren invited him, he came in shamelessly.
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. Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were happy. They cooked six dishes and one soup and steamed snow-white rice.
There were more than a dozen people in the family, old and young, plus Mr. Hou and Ye Shan, Doctor Zhang who came to play with them, and Lei Bolin, and they filled two tables.
The second brother Li and the others sat with the Marquis, Mr. Wen, Divine Doctor Zhang, and others, and even added a jug of wine.
Lei Bolin's mouth was full of oil as he ate, and he kept praising him, making everyone laugh.
After dinner and a simple digestion, it was getting dark outside. Lei Bolin said goodbye and went home to find his parents and watch the lights together.
Everyone in the Li family also planned to leave, but there were too many children at home, so the old lady temporarily allocated 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 to accompany the old lady.
And Jiayin must follow the Marquis, and Ye Shan will accompany him to serve him.
As for Divine Doctor Zhang, he had left long ago, and no one had to worry about the old man's safety.
Thinking 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 didn't harm others!
Mr. Hou booked a private room in advance at the largest restaurant in the shopping street, right in the middle of the lantern market.
People of all ages arrived, opened the windows, and had a panoramic view of the lanterns all over the street.
The children were so lively. After eating snacks, they went down to play.
Soon, Mr. Hou was the only one left in the house accompanying 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. Now! It's better to go out for a walk, broaden your horizons, and then you will know what a great place our Tianwu is!"
Jiayin lifted the window sill and tried to lean out to look out. The Marquis was afraid that she would fall, so he hugged her waist and smiled. He replied: "When we get settled in the future, I will take my aunt and Fu Niu to travel for a year and a half to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our Tianwu!"
The old lady quickly waved her hand, "I'd better take Fu Niu, I am an old man I don't want to toss my bones anymore. When I went from outside the Great Wall to Junyang, and then from Junyang to here, half of my life was gone. Now, I just hope that everyone will be well and live a stable life."
Hou. The master stopped persuading and patted the good news, "Let's go, my adoptive father will take you down to guess lantern riddles and win a few lanterns."
"Okay, good!" Good news was happy and went to call grandma again.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
