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 that, she raised her legs and Ran to the next door.
The Marquis has been in the city these days, and the yard is very quiet.
Dongmei put the account books and small box in the side room and went to work.
After leaving the good news and opening the box, the golden light was dazzling, but tears flowed from the corners of my mouth... I
must visit Zhengjiazhuang if I 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, a full four hundred taels of gold!
They were originally some skilled craftsmen, but if her "fantastic ideas" were added to them, wouldn't it be possible to join forces and become as rich as the enemy's country?
Wow hahaha, get rich, get rich!
Not to mention Jiayin who was happily rolling on the bed next door, even Mrs. Li couldn't smile 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. Send it away."
Old Mrs. Li smiled and assigned tasks to her daughter-in-law, and then said, "Hongying, we will distribute more wild boar meat 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. , there is no need for Mr. Wen and Jinrou, they all agreed to come to our house to celebrate the New Year.
"I also share some dried mushrooms with each family in the village. I put a handful when stewing the chicken, it tastes good." It's a pity that mushrooms don't grow on the two hills of Suijintan! "
While they were talking, Mr. Hou and Mr. Li came back from the city.
Seeing that the old and young ladies at home were busy packing things, Mr. Hou smiled and said, "Is this Ye Shan and Dongmei back?
"Yes, Lord Marquis, Zhuangzi has a lot of gifts over there. " I wonder if the bankers have left more for themselves? After a busy year, they should have a good New Year. "Old Mrs. Li is kind-hearted, and she always feels that she has reaped the rewards of other people's hard work for a year, and she feels guilty.
Mr. Hou waved his hand, "Don't worry, Auntie, in the past few years, Zhuangzi also gave me this gift. They knew it, and it was enough for the New Year. After saying that
, 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 palace banquets. You don't have to go to the palace to kowtow on the first day of the new year. You can just spend the New Year at home."
As expected, Mrs. Li was even happier, "Seriously? " That would be 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 next year, so we have to learn the rules.
After chatting for a while, 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 Huang is very happy." "The Marquis hugged the fat girl and sat on his lap, and said with a smile, "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. "
"And then? "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 loudly and took out a pair of suet from his arms . Each jade Ruyi is about the size of a palm, and the whole body is milky white. Only the peony flower carved on Ruyi's head has a light red color.
The sunlight outside the window shines through the cracks in the window and onto Ruyi's body, making it radiant and beautiful.
" Oops, is this for me? "Good news is like a seedling that has received nectar, and it immediately started to grow.
She hugged Yu Ruyi and jumped up and down with joy, which made Mrs. Li hold it with her hands and scolded, "Hey, little ancestor, you have to be careful. , don't drop such a good thing! "
Jiayin held Yu Ruyi in each hand, as if holding a dumbbell, 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 laughed It didn't work, but no one said they wanted to get Yu Ruyi.
Wenjuan saw it and once again had a clear understanding of how favored her sister-in-law was.
The Marquis glanced at her and saw that her eyes were full of I was envious and curious, but not jealous, so I felt relieved.
It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. Because Mr. Marquis, Li Laoer, and Mr. Wen all had to go to the palace for a banquet in the evening, so the Li family's reunion dinner was placed in It's 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, and Li Yong's family of four brought together almost forty people.
Only Liu Biaotou's family didn't come because they wanted to reunite with the four members of the family because they had 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 ate with satisfaction, especially the old men, who were half drunk, their faces glowing red, and they were extremely happy.
Looking back on 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 drink until midnight.
The old and young 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, so she fell asleep on the kang, as if 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.
The family likes to eat stuffed meat, but Jiayin aims at the stuffing with leeks and eggs, which is especially delicious on such a winter night.
Jiayin ate a dozen 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 and 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 Jiaxi have no idea what their sister is struggling with. They are 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 she 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!
