Dinner was happily carried out in embarrassment.

Because of the favor of Du Jun in the county seat, the Lin family was extremely enthusiastic.

Especially Lin Ma's, every dish was moved to Du Jun and asked him to eat more.

also specially prepared clean chopsticks for him to pick up vegetables, for fear that he would be embarrassed to eat more.

Lin Miao looked embarrassed for him, stopped him a few times, and shut up after being glared at by Lin Ma.

After dinner, Du Jun wanted to go back.

From here to the county seat, it takes two or three hours to run a horse.

Lin Miao dissuaded: "Uncle, it's getting dark, I'm afraid it's not safe on the road, you can stay overnight." ”

The Lin family also tried their best to dissuade them, but Du Jun did not say a word and was resolute.

When he went out to the door, Lin Ma brought two bags containing some crops for Du Jun to take back.

Lin Miao did not say Du Jun's true identity, so the Lin family thought that he was from the county seat and was on an errand in the Yamen.

Du Jun glanced at it, didn't take it, got on the horse, patted the horse's buttocks and ran away.

Lin Mashi: "This kid..."

Not long after Du Jun left, Lu Feng came to find Lin Miao.

Lin Miao took Lu Feng into the ear room, and just as he was about to speak, Lin Xi came.

He didn't say anything, he didn't go out.

Lin Miao's mind turned fast, thinking of the last time she said that Lu Feng beat her, she covered her mouth and snickered.

Glancing at Lin Xi, Lu Feng asked, "What is Du Jun doing here?" ”

"He said he came to dinner and didn't find anything unusual about him."

Lu Feng glanced at Lin Xi again, and then asked, "Do you want to inform them?" ”

"Tell them not to come, lest the uncle come again, then they will meet."

Lu Feng nodded and glanced at Lin Xi again.

Lin Xi touched his nose in a daze, his eyes moved everywhere, and he had no intention of leaving.

Lin Miao was a little amused and said, "Brother, you go out first, I have something to say to Lu Feng." ”

Lin Xi glanced at the two of them, approached Lin Miao and whispered, "If you have something, you can shout." ”

Lin Miao nodded seriously: "Okay." ”

After Lin Xi left, Lu Feng asked, "What's wrong with Lin Xi?" Weird? ”

"Nothing, by the way, do you have something to say to me?"

"Didn't you have something to say to me? Just now..."

Lin Miao: "......"

She also thought that Lu Feng had been looking at Lin Xi and wanted to say something to her alone, but this misunderstanding was really...

"If it's okay, so be it."

Lin Miao said and stood up, this is the meaning of sending off guests.

Lu Feng sat still and didn't move, his eyes looking at Lin Miao directly.

The corners of Lin Miao's eyes twitched, do you want to look pitiful?

"By the way, Lu Feng, you can ride a horse, do you know what kind of horse is more docile?"

Lin Miao has always wanted to buy a carriage for her family, and just now seeing that Xiaobei and Zhuang Zhuang like horses so much, she wants to buy it even more.

Hearing this, Lu Feng finally stood up and said, "I followed Uncle Niu to raise horses for a year. ”

"Great, will you be free to pick a horse with me tomorrow?"

"Free."

……

The next day, when Lin Miao was about to go out, the carriage of the Chen Mansion came.

Come and give a New Year's gift.

Mother He took the two little servants and told them to move their things down after the carriage stopped.

Cloth, rice, noodles, sugar, etc., are all commonly used things.

Lin Miao accepted it unceremoniously and said, "Thank you Mrs. Chen on my behalf." ”

Mother He smiled: "Doctor Lin is polite, our old lady said that thanks to Dr. Lin, she picked up a life." ”

Lin Miao smiled: "This is what we should do, thank you for sending things over, and come back after eating at my house." ”

Mother He excused herself: "Thank you, Dr. Lin, the slave and maid have to rush back to wait for the old lady, and I won't eat this meal." ”

"Okay, I'll send you out."

Before getting into the carriage, Mother He patted her thigh and said, "I don't have a good memory when I'm old, Doctor Lin, our old lady let you go to Chen's Mansion for the Lantern Festival." ”

"Lantern Festival? I'm not necessarily free..."Lin Miao said.

She remembered that Li Mohao seemed to have set off for Gaoqiao Town on the day of the Lantern Festival.

"Slave maid first talk to the old lady, you can come as much as you can when you are done."

Lin Miao nodded: "Okay, I'll go when I'm free." ”

After the carriage of the Chen Mansion left, Lin Miao came to the Lu family.

Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and every family has begun to make rice cakes.

The Lu family is no exception, they are sifting glutinous rice noodles, and Lu Feng is also helping.

Seeing Lin Miao, he stopped and said, "I'll wash my hands and come." ”

Lu Sushi also stopped, looked at Lin Miao and asked, "Sister Yue'er, where are you going?" ”

"I want to buy a carriage for my family, so I'm going to pick up the horses today."

"Today?" Lu Lan walked out of the room, "Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, who will do business, you are really stupid." ”

Lin Miao was stunned for a moment, blaming her for not having much of a New Year's feeling.

"Okay, then I'll go back." Lin Miao said and waved her hand, turned around and left.

The horse was not bought, Lin Miao returned home, and the family was also sifting glutinous rice flour.

Lin Miao squatted beside her and watched, Lin Ma glanced at her, and said, "I haven't seen anyone sifting glutinous rice noodles, didn't you say yesterday that you were going out today?" How did you come back again? ”

"I wanted to go to the street, but I was told that there was nothing to sell on the street today, so I came back."

Lin Ma stopped his hand, crossed his waist and said, "Why are you going to the street again?" What will silver bite you? ”

"Silver just bites me." Lin Miao said and jumped up and ran.

In the kitchen, Lin Xue was next to the stove and didn't know what she was stirring.

Lin Miao strode over, only to see that there was only a white pasty thing at the bottom of the big iron pot.

"Is this paste?" Lin Miao asked.

Lin Xue nodded, brought two bowls to put the paste up, and said, "You can ask my brother to paste the couplet first." ”

Lin Miao took the paste out and shouted, "Paste the Spring Festival couplets, the young men of the Lin family." ”

Before she finished shouting, Lin Xi, Lin Nan and Lin Bei walked out of the room.

"You are really big girls, hiding in the boudoir, and you only come out when someone calls you."

Lin Xi took the paste in Lin Miao's hand and said, "We are not big girls, you are, you go back to the boudoir and hide." ”

"I'm a woman." Lin Miao followed them and walked towards the door.

The couplet of the Lin family was finally written by Ah Jiu: Great development and prosperity for a thousand years; Auspicious and rich Wandaichang.

The reason for chasing it is that everyone in the Lin family thinks that Ah Jiu's words are better-looking, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and it is good to look at it.

Lin Miao's entry and exit was posted on the second door after she begged.

After the Spring Festival couplets were pasted, the glutinous rice flour over there was also sifted.

Lin Nan and Lin Xi hurriedly helped move the glutinous rice noodles into the kitchen.

Lin Xue boiled water and called Lin Wen's and glutinous rice noodles.

Lin Miao moved a small bench to sit and watch.

"Sister, are you so boring?" Lin Xue asked.

Lin Miao nodded again and again: "It's so boring, I don't know what to do." ”

"Go take a bath, you won't forget to take a bath before noon in the Chinese New Year's Eve, right?"

"I didn't forget, but I don't want to get the New Year's money."

The customs of Linjia Village are said to have been set by the ancestors.

The children of every family in their Chinese New Year's Eve take a bath before noon.

The new rice, chicken and pork, which is dedicated to the ancestors, is also prepared before noon.

Then gather in the ancestral hall, at noon, firecrackers are set off, and everyone worships their ancestors together.

After worshipping the ancestors, the village chief gave the children in the village New Year's money.

One person and one penny, begging for good luck.
