After giving New Year's gifts to other people who have dealings, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan are completely idle, and the two of them nest in the study every day, one reads a book, and the other holds a pen to write their own meat processing workshop opening plan.

Because there are only three people in the family counting the little maids on the winter solstice, Mingyue did not prepare a lot of New Year's goods like the Ming family, nor did they kill New Year's pigs, make tofu, make stove sugar, steamed rice cakes and dumplings according to the customs of the New Year here.

However, Mingyue prepared meatballs, steamed buns, and fried fruits, and she also asked Yu Jiayan to buy a bunch of sweets from the town.

The Ming family sent her a lot of dumplings and rice cakes, and the pork was also the best one that the Ming family killed and picked out the best to give her and Yu Jiayan a part.

The degree of trouble saving and purity made Mingyue call out, "It's good to marry closely, and you can rely on your mother's family to give everything."

However, on the day of the New Year, the two of them were also busy, pasting couplets and blessing characters, eating New Year's dinner, making dumplings, setting off firecrackers, burning paper to worship God, staying up late to keep a New Year's vigil... Then on the first day of the new year, the courtyard door was opened early to welcome the little children in the village who came to pay New Year's greetings.

The millet porridge, white flour steamed buns, boiled eggs and all kinds of small pickles that Mingyue and Yu Jiayan ate for breakfast, before the winter solstice received the dishes and chopsticks to the stove for cleaning, all the children and half-grown children of the Ming family who were below Mingyue came to Mingyue's house next door.

After the New Year's greetings of "sister" and "brother-in-law", Mingyue and Yu Jiayan began to give New Year's money to all their younger siblings, including San Lang.

The two of them each had a handful of silver bills, Yu Jiayan had good luck, bamboo reported peace, and eight treasures in the style of Lianchun, and Mingyue sent peanuts, gourds, plum blossoms, and begonia styles, and after a while, several children of the Ming family each got two silver bills.

Everyone cheered, and Mingyue and Yu Jiayan each took each of them a bag of candy bought in the town and a bag of jujube cake made by Mingyue herself.

Sending away the children of the Ming family, who claimed that they were going home to hide the silver bills first, and then going to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan soon welcomed the children of other families in the village.

Those who are related to the Ming family, or have a close relationship with the two families, such as the children of the Zhou family, the Xie family, the Huang family, the Li Zheng family, and the Li family, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan each child gave twenty big dollars of New Year's money, and candy, snacks, fruits, and nuts are whatever they want.

As for the children who don't have much friendship with the adults in the family and simply live in the same village, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan will ask the winter solstice to give each of them a handful of fried fruits, a handful of sugar cubes, a handful of hazelnuts or pine nuts, and a frozen pear or frozen persimmon.

Those children are from very ordinary families, and there are very few times when they can eat fried fruits and sugar cubes at home, and when they go out to pay New Year's greetings, the villagers will give one or two handfuls of chestnuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pine nuts and other mountain goods that do not cost money.

Sugar cubes, fruits, fried fruits and the like, each household will basically only take them out to entertain those close to them, and these children who go from house to house to visit the New Year are usually not mixed, so Mingyue and Yu Jiayan are also considered to be generous.

Of course, this is not Mingyue's first creation, but the Ming family has been using these things to entertain the children in the village who come to visit the New Year since last year, and Mingyue is just lazy to learn from her mother's practice.

Until the end of the hour (eleven o'clock in the morning), there were no more small guests at home, and Mingyue and Yu Jiayan went to Lizheng's house, Yu Shouyi's house, and Dr. Li's house together.

The reason why these families are ranked in front is because Mrs. Ming had already said hello a few years ago, and asked Mingyue and Yu Jiayan to go to Ming's house to have a meal together from noon today - mixed rice is Mingyue's statement, and what Mrs. Ming said was "It's rare to celebrate the New Year, and you two will come back to accompany grandma to be lively."

***

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Mingyue, who had been at home for more than half a month, thought about it quietly, and shouted Yu Jiayan, Erlang and Sanlang to go to Nanshan for a walk.

"Sister! Sister! She was happy to chase the rabbit all over the mountain, but she heard Saburo shouting at her while running towards her.

Mingyue turned her head to look, and saw that Saburo was hurrying towards Mingyue as if there was a ghost chasing behind him.

And behind Saburo, a big girl in a red coarse cotton jacket was also running out of breath.

"Sister, save me, Yu Erni is so shameless, she jumped out coldly and was about to pounce on me." San Lang was about to cry in fright, pity him for an innocent little Langjun, and the most "bold" woman he met would at most throw a flattering eye and send a handful of autumn spinach over, like Yu Erni, who threw himself directly on him, San Lang was the first time in his life.

Mingyue heard the words and hurriedly blocked San Lang behind her, but, Yu Erni? This surname is very familiar.

She touched her chin to examine the tall lanky girl in front of her, trying to bypass her and continue to pounce on Ming Saburo.

"Ernier?"

The two of them were in a stalemate, and Yu Jiayan and Erlang rushed to Mingyue and San Lang's side.

Yu Jiayan frowned and looked at Yu Erni, "Why did you run to the mountain?" Does your dad know what you're doing? ”

Yu Erni didn't say a word, only tried to break through left and right, trying to bypass Mingyue and pounce on Ming Saburo.

San Lang trembled with fright, he hugged one of his second brother's arms, "Second brother, let's hurry up, hurry up!" ”

Erlang patted Saburo's hand, "Your sister is here, do you need to be afraid of her?" ”

Mingyue in his house is a famous overlord flower in Wulitun, not to mention Yu Erni, who is their peer, even the Zhao family, who is a generation older than them, has kicked and flown over.

Dare to hit her third brother's idea under her nose, Yu Erni is afraid that she is not tired of being crooked!

Erlang, who was there by the old god, didn't panic at all, he protected his third brother behind him, and observed the development of the situation by probing his brain.

"Have you had enough?" Mingyue really went crazy as Erlang expected, she grabbed Yu Erni's bun, dragged her and buried her head and face in the snow nest.

Yu Erni struggled desperately, but Mingyue was older than her and her hand strength was older than her, no matter how much she struggled, Mingyue still buried her head and face in the deep snow smoothly.

"You let go of me! Ming Da Niu, woo woo..."Yu Erni's screams quickly turned into a series of whines, her skin was painful from the cold snow, and the feeling of suffocation made her brain hot.

"Want to rely on my brother? You're going to be ashamed of you! Mingyue pressed her and didn't let her look up, "I told you Yu Ernier, just because I haven't cleaned you up doesn't mean I won't dare to clean you up!" My brother didn't run away because he was afraid of you! What do you think you are?! Aren't you shameless and skinny? Then I'll expose this cheeky layer of yours today! ”

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Hurry up and let go of my Ernier! Feng Shi, who had been sneaking behind to check the development of the situation, finally couldn't hold it back, she rushed out in a hurry, and reached out to pull the arm that Mingyue was pressing on Yu Erni's head.
