"Alright, take it." Lin Youcai said with a smile.

The daughter-in-law of Wang Lin's family happily picked up the couplet, thanked her, and happily went back to paste the couplet.

Seeing this, many villagers around went home to get something over, or a handful of sugar, or a few pastries, or a few copper plates, anyway, they just meant it, and the red paper was brought by themselves, so please Lin Youcai help write the couplet.

Lin Youcai did the same before, and he was already used to it, so he happily poured out all the couplet inventory in his head, and practiced for a while by the way.

The villagers who got the couplet were very happy, and when they saw the smiling face of the big guy, the big man who received the things also laughed.

All this before, he didn't dare to think before.

Living an ordinary life, there is no court dispute, there is no Jin Ge Iron Horse, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it feels good to think about it.

The luckiest thing in this life should be to be bought back by Lin Meiyi.

In the Lin family, he never felt that he was a slave, but a member of this family, because as long as the family had something, he and Xiao Hei had a share.

Although Lin Meiyi is so mysterious that people are jealous, he has to admit that he feels honored to let such a person be his master.

Ah Da shook his head helplessly, he was a little moved by the quiet years in front of him for a while.

"It's time for breakfast!"

Liu shouted in the hall.

Lin Youcai just finished writing the last couplet, and hurriedly turned around and responded loudly: "Come right away!" ”

"Yiyi, Erya, Goudan, Ah Da, Xiao Hei, come and eat!" Liu shouted again one by one.

Lin Meiyi has completed her task and hurriedly beckoned her younger siblings to wash their hands and serve the table.

A large round table was changed at home, and a large family was able to sit down, and everyone sat around, with a smile on their faces, waiting for Zhang's to move the chopsticks first.

For breakfast, I ate pork and cabbage stuffed dumplings that had been prepared yesterday, and Liu specially prepared a plate of dipping sauce for everyone, with ginger and garlic pouring oil and fragrant flavor, and then pouring in soy sauce and a few drops of balsamic vinegar, just smelling this smell makes people have a great appetite.

Zhang picked up the chopsticks, first sandwiched a white and fat, full of filling dumplings into the butterfly, and then everyone began to move the chopsticks.

Xiao Hei was the fastest, eating half a plate of dumplings in a few clicks, and the dog sat next to him, angry and itchy, but there was nothing he could do.

Ah Da is much more polite, and eats more Sven, but it is only the effect of comparison with Xiao Hei.

Liu and Lin Youcai didn't treat the two of them as human beings at all, so the way the two of them ate was all used to by the husband and wife.

Zhang is the same, looking at the children at home with a faint smile on their faces, they look much more amiable than usual.

"Eat more and eat more, it's not enough in the kitchen." Liu greeted.

Zhao Xiangling echoed, "Everyone eat slowly, and eat dumplings for the next few days, I'm afraid you will get tired of eating when the time comes." ”

"Not greasy, not greasy! Delicious! Blackie gave a thumbs up, thinking he could eat a few more plates.

Zhao Xiangling shook her head helplessly and smiled, and didn't say anything more.

"Sister, here you go." Erya carefully sandwiched a chubby dumpling and put it into Lin Meiyi's bowl, smiled hehe, and said in a low voice: "I found that this is the biggest." ”

Lin Meiyi cooperated with a surprised expression, picked up the dumplings and took a bite, the soup splashed out, the fatness of the pork and the freshness of the cabbage were mixed together, so fragrant that people could swallow their tongues.

"Delicious, right?" Erya held her chin and asked, seeing Lin Meiyi nodding, as if she had eaten herself, and smiled contentedly.

After a harmonious breakfast, someone came outside the door.

"Sister Yiyi, auntie, are you okay? Let's go and worship the gods! ”

Pan Xian shouted as she stood outside the gate carrying a basket full of incense and candle offerings.

When Liu heard her voice, he hurriedly handed over the kitchen to Zhao Xiangling, picked up the basket that had been prepared a long time ago, called Lin Meiyi, and walked out quickly.

"It's coming, it's not in a hurry, it's still early." Liu laughed.

Pan Xian nodded, then ran to Lin Meiyi's side, and asked with a smile: "Sister Yiyi, have you ever sacrificed to the gods?" I'm the first time this year, and you'll have to teach me in a moment. ”

In the past, it was all the father and mother to worship the gods, she was at home with the tiger, this year the little lady was too busy to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner alone, so she was sent out.

Lin Meiyi nodded, "Don't worry, I know, my mother takes me every year, you just follow us for a while." ”

"Okay, then I'll be relieved." Pan Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them walked towards the entrance of the village, preparing to start from the entrance of the village and go all the way inside.

On the way, Liu invited Pan Xian's family to their home for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but Pan Xian shook her head and refused.

Dad is not at home, if they don't spend the New Year in their own home, their ancestors will blame.

In this way, Liu did not mention it anymore.

The so-called sacrifice to the gods is to take the knife head meat, melons and fruits, incense candles and other offerings, and worship the bridges, roads, trees, and rivers inside and outside the village once, hoping that these gods will bless their families with safe travel and good health.

By the way, there is also a miracle river in the mountain village this year.

That's right! It was the river that Lin Meiyi pushed open with the earth talisman, and now it has become a belief of the people in the village.

Seeing her old lady and Pan Xian following the villagers to kneel on the edge of the miracle river and burn incense and paper, praying for the blessing of the gods, Lin Meiyi always felt that something was strange.

She pushed the river open, and wouldn't this rounding up mean that the villagers were worshipping her?

Thinking of this, Lin Meiyi coughed uncomfortably twice, seeing that the old lady and Pan Xian had already made a good fragrance, she hurriedly told the two of them to get up, don't let the cold hurt your body.

When the lady next to her heard her words, she immediately rolled her eyes, "How can you say that?" This is a blessing from the gods, how can it hurt the body? ”

After Bai finished Lin Meiyi, she told Liu again: "Talented family, children can't talk nonsense, what if they anger the miracle river god?" ”

In this regard, Liu didn't dare to argue with the people in the village, and felt that it was okay for his daughter to say this, but he still nodded again and again and said that he would talk about her when he went back.

In this way, the eldest lady withdrew her white eyes and bowed respectfully to the miracle river three times, so that the river god could forgive the ignorant little woman's disrespect and not let anger come to their house.

Lin Meiyi looked at this lady's actions, only felt embarrassed, and muttered in her heart: Just after teaching [River God] and going to apologize to [River God], this lady is really interesting.

"Let's go, let's go back, next year our family will be safe and sound, and everything will go well." Liu said.

Pan Xian's house was on the river, so she packed up her things and went home first.

Lin Meiyi squatted down to help her mother pack her things, and the mother and daughter went home hand in arm, smiling so much that they didn't know how happy they were, and they were not affected by the eldest lady just now.

In the morning, we spent the lantern sticking couplets and the festival to the gods, and after a short break at noon, we began to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon.
