Chapter 69: Chinese New Year

It's getting colder. Nishiki took back the vegetable seeds from the field, dried them in the sun, and collected them when the weather was fine. These are all left by her to the people in the village, after all, what she promised to others must be done.

Ye's cured bacon hangs in the kitchen, which has turned brown and looks particularly gluttonous by the smoke and fire every day. In winter, people in the village rarely go out, and more often than not, everyone stays at home to bake the fire, and occasionally knocks on each other's doors.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and every family is beginning to prepare for the New Year. The Ye family was not idle, and bought all the things while they were in the market. For example, some small snacks that children like, or things to be used for New Year's hospitality, no matter what the price, she bought some more or less.

In previous years, when they were at the Li family, their mother and daughter could only have time to catch their breath during the Chinese New Year. But this year is clearly different. This is the first year after Li Yunchang's death, the mother and daughter spent alone. Ye was afraid that his daughter would feel lonely, so he deliberately bought two more strings of firecrackers and came back.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming up in two days, Li Jinshu also began to look forward to it. Ye Shi was not idle, and she did not leave behind any of the preparations that should have been made years ago. Including the New Year's gifts to be prepared for each family, she also discussed it with Jinshu early.

Finally reached the Chinese New Year's Eve. People from all the families in the village sat around and had a lively reunion dinner. Although there were only three people in Li Jinshu's family, the Ye family still prepared a table of dishes, including chicken, duck and fish. It can be said that their family's reunion dinner is the most sumptuous in the whole village except for Lizheng's family.

That night, Qingshui Village was rarely brightly lit, and the sound of firecrackers was endless. The sound of firecrackers in the village on the other side of the hill can be heard, which is enough to see that the status of this day in everyone's hearts is indeed different.

The next morning, the Jinshu family got up early. Although it was still early, the children's laughter had already spread. The children of the village are looking forward to the Chinese New Year the most, they laugh and play in groups in the village, and even if they cause any trouble, they will not be scolded by the adults.

The children went from house to house, their pockets full of snacks. Of course, Li Jinshu can't do such a thing, and Zhao Hui won't do it. The two helped Ye start preparing lunch, but they didn't expect that the children in the village would also find their house.

The usually annoying bear child is a little cute at this time. One by one, they rushed into the courtyard and began to smile and say auspicious words to the Ye family. Ye also showed a kind smile like an old mother, and took out the small snacks that had been prepared a long time ago and distributed them to the children.

After getting the snacks, the children happily ran away, thinking that they were probably going to "scourge" another house! Li Jinshu was so noisy that his scalp was numb. She felt deeply that she was about old enough to adapt to these bear children.

As soon as the first day of the new year passed, the people in the village began to greet each other, but of course, everyone went to their relatives' houses first. The Ye family fled from other places to Qingshui Village, and after so many years, he couldn't remember where his hometown was, so naturally he didn't have any relatives.

Li Jinshu's relatives are only the Li family, but she doesn't want to block herself during the New Year, so she will definitely not find it by herself.

Zhao Hui's grandparents are still alive, and there are many relatives on his father's side, but in his eyes, those relatives are the same whether they have or not. So in the second and third days of junior high school, the three of them were ready not to go out.

However, what they didn't expect was that just after breakfast, Li Yunzhi actually came with a New Year's gift.
