Ten years after the new emperor ascended the throne, the Northern Yan Kingdom is still peaceful, and although there are not all beggars in the streets and alleys, there are fewer and fewer people. Because in recent years, Yan Lingrui has promulgated several useful rules, so that widows and lonely people have a special shelter, and they only need to do things for two hours a day, they can have three meals a day, so most beggars are willing to go, and there are fewer and fewer people begging on the street!

Now the four sisters and brothers have married and married, and they all have their own children, so once a month, they all gather here, and then live here for five or six days or ten days. Because they were originally a family, now that all the children are gathered together, it will always be very lively.

The only one who is now twelve years old, she has been very crazy in the city until she was ten years old, but after the age of ten, she suddenly converged, and it seems that she grew up all of a sudden, so she began to learn to play the piano and chess, as for calligraphy, she has already begun to learn, and martial arts are also learned at the same time as calligraphy.

"Mother, I went to play with my sister, but my sister said that she still had to practice the piano for half an hour, didn't my mother say that she came to the villa just to play? But my sister is not like this, my sister is bad! Shui Ling tugged at the sleeve of the smile and said dissatisfiedly. She is the fifth child of Zhan Xiaoyan and Yan Qihao, she is only seven years old this year, and she is a girl who is spoiled by her brothers and sisters.

"Ling'er, do you remember that your mother taught you that if the things at hand are more important than other things, then you must do the things at hand first. And your eldest sister will practice her piano skills every day during this hour, and after she has practiced, she will come to you. Okay, you can stay with your mother now, or you can go to your second brother and sister, or cousin and cousin to play with them. Zhan smiled and touched his daughter's head and said.

"Oh, I see! Then I'm going to stay by my mother's side now, and I want to eat the 'egg tart' you said last time, can you make it for me, mother? "A child is a child, and being angry is only temporary, not to mention the sister she likes, and now that her mother has explained the reason to her, she will not be angry anymore, so it's good. But she also wanted to eat something delicious, so she made this request to her mother.

"Okay, I'll do it for you. This egg tart, there is a production method on the letter written by Aunt Gu from your Xichang Kingdom, so my mother is also making it for the first time, if it is not delicious, Shui Ling, don't dislike it! With a smile on his face, he put on his apron and went to the kitchen, where he began to beat eggs and knead flour. Because this egg tart is a new food, she has never seen it in Beiyan Kingdom, so it may be a new food that has appeared in Xichang Kingdom in recent years!

"Sister, what are you going to do to eat? Need me to help you? Zhan Xiaoning hugged her son, who had only been born for less than half a year, and asked. Because she was originally basking in the sun outside, she also watched Shui Ling walk in, and saw that she hadn't gone out all the time, so Zhan Xiaoning walked in, but she didn't expect to see Zhan Xiaoyan busy in the kitchen.

"No need, Xiao Ning, you just need to hold Yuqi. This egg tart is a famous method in the letter that the third princess of the Southern Dragon Kingdom wrote to me before, and this oven is also specially made by me, so I am also making it for the first time, and I am not very sure if I can make it well, and what the taste will be. I'll do it now.,It's only because the little girl from Shui Ling brought it up.,I'll start doing it.,This little girl's memory is good.,I just met her once a few days ago.,She remembered it.。 Zhan Xiaoyan said with a smile on his hand.

"That's because she knows sister, you can always make something delicious! Okay, then I'll go out with Shui Ling, but sister, you have to make more egg tarts, and I'll tell you, so at least the egg tarts have to let each of us have a taste! Zhan Xiaoning said with a smile, and then took out the water spirit who was bored playing with his fingers. She knew that although it was the first time for her sister to make it, although the things she made would not be very delicious, it would not be bad, not to mention that what her sister made was a new food, so it was good for the family to come and taste it!

"Okay, then you can go out with Shui Ling, and after telling everyone, don't let any of them into the kitchen, and I can make this egg tart by myself." Zhan Xiaoyan agreed with a mouthful, and she made a total of fifty, in fact, it didn't take too much time, but when she used the oven to bake the egg tarts, she needed to step on the pedal to bake them, and she had to step on them a hundred times at a time to make sure that the egg tarts inside were already cooked, so it was just a little more laborious here.

"Really? This girl is going to be delicious again, so we will be blessed! Shui Ling, it's great that you made this suggestion, this is something that Xiaoyan has never done before, and now we can all try it! After listening to Zhan Xiaoning's words, Guan Lao said. Others also have the same idea as him, believing that what they make with a smile must be very delicious.

"Okay, the egg tart is out of the oven, and I also made a pot of 'fragrant fruit tea', so wait, if the egg tart is not delicious, it is good for you to drink a few more cups of tea!" More than half an hour later, Zhan Xiaoyan walked into the pavilion with an egg tart that had just been taken out of the oven, and she also made a pot of fragrant fruit tea. But she just took one of the egg tarts and tasted it, and it was okay, but it was a little too sweet, and it should be that she didn't grasp the amount of sugar.

"Sister, although we haven't eaten it yet, just looking at the color of this egg tart, it already makes people appetize, and the smell of this egg tart is really fragrant and sweet!" Zhan Xiaoyu said after looking at the tart, and then picked up an egg tart and ate it. The others saw that he had already taken one first, and they all took one and ate it, and took a bite, well, it tasted very good, but the men thought it was a little too sweet, so they all ate only one and stopped eating. As for the women, after eating the first, they took the second, and the children did the same, they all wanted to eat the third.

When Zhan Xiaoyan saw this situation, he knew that the first time he made egg tarts was quite successful, and the next time he made it, he would put less sugar and it would taste better than now. But this was originally proposed by the girl Shui Ling to let her do it, and now looking at the way she eats with relish, she knows that she has succeeded, mainly because her daughter likes it!

A quarter of an hour later, the egg tarts were all eaten, the adults sat in the pavilion and continued to drink tea, and the children lifted the shuttlecock in the yard, which was described by Zhan Xiaoyan according to Gu Ningshuang, and the shuttlecock made for them with a chicken tail, the children liked it very much, and when they came to [Sun Warm Villa] to get together, they would also bring it, just to make it easier for themselves to kick.

"Girl, let me ask you a question, when you fled from the Eastern Wei Kingdom to the Northern Yan Kingdom with your younger brothers and sisters, did you ever imagine such a situation?" Guan Lao looked at the scene in the courtyard with a smile on his face and a gentle face, and suddenly asked.

"Grandpa, I never imagined it. Because at that time, my father was wronged, and then beheaded to show the public, and my mother fled all the way with our four sisters and brothers, just so that we would not be arrested into the palace and live that kind of life as slaves and maids, and I didn't want the Zhan family to be extinct, but I didn't expect her to follow my father because of the cold and lack of rest. Then after my mother left, I was the eldest in the family, and I knew my mother's thoughts, so I took them all the way to Beiyan Kingdom.

For me at that time, as long as our family was always well, fed and clothed, and would not starve or freeze. So when my father's grievances were washed away and we were able to restore our original names and surnames, I already felt that was enough. Now that more than 20 years have passed, all four of us have married and had children, the most important partner, and our own children, which is much more than I expected. Zhan smiled and answered him without concealing it.

"Girl, that's because you're special and smart. If you are an ordinary girl, you are only a six-year-old child despite all the changes in your family, and even if you want to continue running with your younger siblings, it will not be so easy to succeed because of the grief of losing your mother at that time, and the limited distance of the child. But you came to the Northern Yan Kingdom, obviously you have already set your goal, and you know how to choose the best for yourself, right?

Now you are twenty-six years old, Xiao Ning, Xiao Yu and Xiao Tian are also twenty-four years old, you have been living in the Northern Yan Kingdom for exactly twenty years, you used that shop to accumulate money, in addition to earning the silver needed for your family of four, you also accumulated the dowry of Xiao Ning's marriage, as well as the silver money needed for Xiao Tian and Xiao Yu brothers to marry their wives, and you didn't think about yourself at the beginning. I think if it weren't for the appearance of Yan Xiaozi, you would be planning to be an old girl who will never marry for life, and I just wish your younger brothers and sisters a good life, right? Guan Lao's words, of course, are not only for Zhan Xiaoyan, but also for Zhan Xiaoyu and their three brothers and sisters, as well as their current husband and wife.

"Yes, I never thought about getting married at that time, I just hoped that my younger siblings would always be well. Because the two younger brothers needless to say, they are men, and they have to continue the incense for the Zhan family, so no matter what, they can't let them have an accident. There is also a little sister, she has been invisible since she was a child, and the world has always been dark, so as an older sister, I must let her eyes regain her sight and take a look at this colorful world, and I will always be by their side. But now, I have become Qihao's wife, and I already have five children, Xiao Yu and Xiao Tian have also married wives, Xiao Ning has also married Ze Han, they also have their own children, our family has always been together, this is much better than I expected, this is enough! Zhan Xiaoyan looked at the guilty expressions on the faces of her younger siblings, smiled at them slightly, and then shook Yan Qihao's hand, indicating that she was very satisfied with everything in front of her.

For a moment, no one in the pavilion spoke, because they thought the same thing. As long as the family is together, no matter what happens, there is no need to be afraid. Only the sound of the children in the yard counting the number of shuttlecock kicks "57, 58, 59, 60, 61 ......" came, and the sunset at dusk shrouded everyone's figures, giving people a beautiful feeling of quiet years......
