In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Lanyin personally took Xu Lanting and Zhao Xingchen to send Min Jia home, and also brought a New Year gift to the Min family. It includes two sets of little girls' clothes, two pairs of shoes, two purses, a set of jade head noodles worn by children, and some snacks and candies made by Xu's Pastry House.

Min Jia's small mouth was raised high, and he said, "I don't want to go home, Aunt Xu, I'm sad." ”

Xu Lanyin was very helpless, and hinted to Min Jia many times that it was going to be the New Year, and her father would always be at home for the Chinese New Year's Eve and the New Year, and the little girl should go back to the house to accompany her father for the New Year. But the little girl just didn't leave, and Liu's mother didn't let her go, so she had to send it herself.

When he arrived at Min Mansion, Steward Hao said with a smile, "Uncle just sent someone back to the house, saying that he would come back for dinner." I was about to pick up my sister, and you came. ”

After staying in Min Mansion for more than two quarters of an hour, Xu Lan got up and said goodbye, saying that as soon as Min Hu went to the government, he invited Min Jia to live in Xu's house. Although the little girl was covered with tears, she sensibly did not cry, and she also knew that she should accompany her father for the New Year.

Xu Lan came to the outer courtyard because of a few people, and Steward Hao gave the Xu family a New Year's gift, including two satins, two fat sheep, twenty catties of rouge rice, and twenty catties of apples.

Back at Xu's house, the couplets and blessing characters on the door were pasted, and two big red lanterns were hung in front of the door.

The courtyard was also full of joy, and the fragrance of vegetables in the back room wafted to the inner courtyard.

Xu Lanyin remembered Zhao Wu again, and last year's New Year was the lantern that the two of them pasted on each other......

When Qin Shi saw the rouge rice, his eyes were red. She had eaten this kind of rice when she was a child in Jiangnan, and she hadn't even seen it in all these years.

At noon, I ate a little casually, and at the end of Shen Shi, Yang Zhong took a few boys to set off a long string of firecrackers, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner officially began.

There was a table in the hall, and the master ate on the table, and a few subordinates ate on the table. There was also a set of empty dishes and chopsticks on the table, which was placed for Xu Qingyan.

As in previous years, Qin Shi first looked at the empty dishes and chopsticks and said a few words of remembrance of her husband, "Brother Yan, are you okay over there?" Don't worry too much about us, the children are all out of the picture, because they have made a lot of money, Zhou'er will be out next year, Ting'er is in good health, and she is smart. Now our family has a house and a shop in the provincial capital, and we will move here in the future......" After finishing the chatter, he said to everyone, "Let's eat all." ”

Xu Lanzhou has been much more stable since he decided to take the martial arts show. He talked about the changes of the year, holding a wine cup and thanking the Qin family for his teaching, Xu Lan for his great contribution to the family, and for teaching his two younger brothers. also said that without Xu Lanyin, the eldest sister, it would be impossible for the family to settle in the provincial capital so quickly. As the eldest son in the family, he is really ashamed, Yunyun......

Xu Lanyin was humble in her mouth, and she also felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart. She herself didn't expect that in more than a year, her family would realize a gorgeous transformation from the countryside to the county seat, and then from the county seat to the provincial capital.

Qin Shi said, "Everything is fine at home, it's just the same, because my son will turn seventeen years old because of the new year......"

She didn't have to go any further. I thought in my heart, if Zhao Wu's child really can't come back, let the wind out, and it's time to tell his daughter that it's a good family affair. The provincial capital is far away from Xiaozao Village, and the bad reputation of the girl before will not be spread.

She didn't say it explicitly, and everyone knew that she wanted to talk about Xu Lanyin's search for a son-in-law.

Xu Lanzhou said with a smile, "I must work hard, with fame, the family has changed the court, and my sister will be fine in the future...... Hey hey ......"

Xu Lan was very sad, and the seventeen-year-old girl in this era did not say goodbye, so she belonged to the scope of leftover women. She was also very depressed, after so long, it seemed that only Minhu and Zhu Zhuang were interested in her. These two men, one powerful and the other rich, are not her cup of tea.

During the meal, Xu Lanting and Zhao Xingchen pulled Yang Zhong to the yard from time to time to set off fireworks.

When the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten, the dumplings were finished, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was over.

Xu Lanzhou and two men went to the front yard to keep watch, while the others slept. Even if Xu Lanyin didn't want to sleep, there was no one at home to play with her.

Xu Lanyin was lying on the bed, listening to the intermittent sound of firecrackers outside, thinking about her parents in her previous life, and wondering if they had come out of the grief of losing their independence now. and Zhao Wu, did he find the old demon in the end, and when will he come back. At this time, she didn't have any joy for the New Year......

As soon as they got up, the masters and slaves all put on new clothes, and Xu Lanzhou, the eldest son of the second room of the Xu family, led the Qin family, Xu Lanyin, and Xu Lanting to kowtow to the tablets of Xu Qingyan and the Xu family.

Zhao Xingchen also wanted to kowtow with him, but was stopped by Zhangqi, and his mouth was so angry that he raised his mouth.

After worshipping the ancestors, begin to worship the New Year. The younger generation worshiped the elders and got a red envelope, and the subordinates worshiped the master and got a red envelope, and then they started to eat breakfast. After breakfast, Xu Lanzhou, on behalf of the Xu family, went to the house of the deputy envoy of Fujian, the house of the judge of Mintong, the Hu family, his husband's house, Wang Jincai's house, and several neighbors' homes to pay New Year's greetings.

Wang Jincai, the son of the shopkeeper Wu and the sons of several neighbors came to Xu's house to pay New Year's greetings. Unexpectedly, even Min Rong, the second master of Min Tong, came to pay New Year's greetings.

Xu Lanyin was very surprised, how could Min Tong's posture be so low?

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family spent a quiet day.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Lanzhou, who had breakfast, went to his husband's house to take lessons.

Not long after he left, Ding Gu came to report that the sister of the Min family came again, and it was actually the Min household who accompanied her.

Min Hu is a distinguished guest, Xu Lanyin, Qin, Xu Lanting, and Zhao Xingchen all welcomed out.

Min Hu led Min Jia to the front, Liu's mother and others followed behind with big bags and small bags, and the little girl was going to live in Xu's house again.

Min Hu's mental state is acceptable, although he is still so thin and has dark circles under his eyes, it is not very obvious, and he should have ensured two hours of sleep every day.

Min Jia smiled brightly, shook off Min Hu's hand and ran towards Xu Lanyin, and said, "Aunt Xu, Daddy is busy, I'm here again to live, happy, right?" ”

Speak more smoothly.

Xu Lanting and Zhao Xingchen shouted with a smile, "Happy! ”

Xu Lanyin hugged Min Jia, who was running over, and smiled, "Well, happy." ”

Min Jia said, "My father--I'm going to eat here--I'm going to eat." ”

Min Hu's face was slightly red, he hugged his fists and bowed to Xu Lanyin and Qin, and said with a smile, "Thank you Miss Xu, Jia'er's progress is a long way, if you don't see it with your own eyes, I can't believe it." ”

There were two women living in the upper room, and it was not easy to invite the male guests in, so Xu Lanyin invited the Min household to the east wing hall.

The Qin family said a few words with Min Hu, and asked Xu Lanyin and a few children to talk to him and go to the kitchen to have a look.

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "Let's make mutton hot pot at noon, and I'll mix the dipping sauce later." ”

Qin nodded, and personally took Aunt Yang and a mother-in-law from Min Mansion to prepare the ingredients.
